The UT3 Method

[OBEvideoguy]

Hey Mortals,

I'm totally into video games; they're a blast and I have so much fun playing them - been doing so for years.

I just bought a game called http://www.unrealtournament3.com. It's been out for about a year. Here is a screenshot:



It's a fast action, visually stunning game. You are engaged in battle with other players, using different weapons, armor and special power-ups, making you stronger in both offense and defense. There is a choice of several arenas/spaces/maps that you can play in. Each has a different layout. It is recommended that you play a map without opponents, just to get used to traversing the territory, and discover where the different weapons, armor and health power-ups are located. There is a special code you can input that allows you to enter the game as a "ghost" - making it possible to fly and penetrate through walls.

I played the game for several hours a couple of days ago, and then a few hours the next day. That night I had an OBE practice session. It was a very interesting session indeed.

First let me explain the movement within the game. Your character can move forward, backward, sideways, hop, jump, bounce and sometimes soar if you find the special power-up boots. There are stairs and elevator platforms all over the place. After playing for a few hours it's kind of like getting off a boat; perception is a bit wobbly.

When I lay down and experience a light trance, using MAP CD #6 (Mastering Astral Projection CD Companion set - http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Astral-Projection-CD-Companion/dp/0738710792), and get to the "body loosening" section, I really feel a slight phase shift. This induces vibrations. I have yet to time it out properly. So far the vibrations have occurred before I'm in a deep trance. I have yet to experiment with this method (I call: The UT3 Method), while in a deep trance, using it as an exit method.

I plan to stick to one map, and get to know it intimately, so I can traverse the corridors in my imagination and use it as an exit visualization method, when the time is right.

I'll keep you all posted. Anybody else into video games? Have you experienced similar sensations after playing for several hours?

I have the cd for mastering astral projection too.  When I listen to it, I experience slight pphase shifts as well.  Something about Brian Mercer's voice affects my brain waves...

I like to play video games too, and I read fantasy novels.  It helps get my imagination, and visualization juices running, and that's about it...
