Someone please tell me what just happened to me!

It sounds to me like you were on the verge of an OBE.  Seeing your hands and feet floating behind your closed eyelids is common with astral sight.  I don't know why the rope technique didn't work, it might next time, maybe you just need more first hand experience at that stage with the rope technique.  All the symptoms sound like you were close to getting out of your body.  Perhaps all the thinking about your balls and what not was too much thought wandering... next time try to simply go with the flow and don't think about the concequences... let curiosity drive you and let whatever happens happen.

I would quite like to know: is that your first experience?

The ROPE technique only works when you understood how it works for you... if you didn't manage to use it in another situation, the ROPE technique will only make you heavier, for you might use to much of an effort while using it: like robert bruce says very strongly: the ROPE technique is mental, ALL MENTAL, and I would add, even you mental has to rest while doing it. Trisha would tell you she does not use this technique for she realised letting go sometimes helps more.

noooo, I did not have Astral Sight. If you read it correctly you would know that.

I opened my eyes SLIGHTLY.

Isnt astral sight sort of the same as sight with your physical eyes, only that your eyes are closed?

Also, one question....which I asked in the post too but didnt get answered.

Do I HAVE to have Astral Sight before I can get an OBE?

Frere, that was my first experience.

Although I have had some experiences that I thought were an OBE but, since I was unconscious during them, they were probably just dreams of my having an OBE.

Earlier today I was meditating and I fell asleep and slipped into a dream. I was talking to 2 girls in my dream. Well all of a sudden, my chair the I was sitting on (in the dream) tipped me over to the back and I fell backwards, except, when I hit the ground, it didnt really stope me dead in my tracks, I was slowly penetrating the ground and sinking into it like I was falling right through it. Well then I realized I was dreaming and I woke up.

I woke up with my eyes still closed and all I saw was the blackness behind my eyelids. Then suddenly I felt my body rushing. It felt like a falling sensation. I felt like I was falling  at hyperspeed, like 300 mph. But at the same I was feeling this falling sensation, I felt as if I was slowly floating upwards. My hands and feet rose up. I felt wind all around me as if I was falling really, it really felt like I was falling, but also rising at the same time.

I then had this urge to open my eyes. I dont know why but, I never have gotten astral sight. Am I supposed to have astral sight first before an OBE?

Well, I had the urge to open my eyes, because I guess I forgot where I was (it always happens, when I wake up I forget where am I resting, so I have to open my eyes to see where I am at).

So I opened my eyes and then I saw.... vagely saw my hands and feet floating in the air. I didnt focus on the but I just vaguely saw them because I didnt even open my eyes fully it was just a quick glance of a microsecond.

Then I closed them back and IMMEDIATELY I started feeling the same exact sensations.

Then I dont know why, but I thought, since I am also rising my balls are going to get hit by something, so then actually my balls started to hurt for a second.... LOL.

Then I forgot about it and said to myself "nah nothings going to hit my balls."

SO then I tried the rope technique for about 10 seconds and I didnt go out of body or anything and then I thought to myself, maybe I am not going to go out of body, maybe this is just something else that I am experiencing.

Thats why I am here asking, what the hell did I just experience? Was I close to being OBE? Why didnt the ROPE technique work? Should I have just ridden it out and see what would have happened if I didnt open my eyes?


If your guys still have energy left from reading my long post, gimme some feedback.
