Traditional Astral projection or Phasing?

[stevj016]

Hi,

I have now read all of the FAQ section and have learn a lot. I now know the difference between traditional Astral projection and phasing. However I don't know which one I should do as I am new to this but would like to start my training in projection but don't know which one to pick.

Can you please give me advice on which one I should pick.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you for your time,
Stevj016.

It's arbitary. There's really no 'best way'. It comes down to the individual. Personally I prefer traditional, even though my first OBE was done by phasing.

I think I'm leaning more towards phasing as opposed to the traditional approach.

AM is right. There are different methods because everyone learns in different ways. Pick whichever one resonates with you and then give that an ernest effort for a month or so. If you don't have any luck, then try another one. But stick with one method for at least a month before giving up on it.

Personally, I prefer phasing, but everyone is different. So do what you feel drawn towards.

What you do when you traditionally project is you phase into the second/etheric/energy body, and then you push out this projectable double of yourself out into the RTZ.

So it's not really like there is a clear separation between the two... "traditional" projection would be a subset of the possibilities offered by phasing... And it is also possible to phase while you are "traditionally projected" because phasing is a faculty of the mind that follows you wherever your consciousness is...

And phasing has this tendency to inevitably make you create a projectable double, as soon as you get the human urge to have an individual body to explore the landscape you're in... The thing is, though, phasing opens possibilities where moving through time and space using a body of sorts is not at all compatible with the reality you find yourself in ; the environment could be way out of phase with anything you could remotely conceive of with the human mind.

With that said, most of my successes with conscious (as opposed to semi-spontaneous) OBEs happened as a result of actually phasing (i.e. reaching focus 10 and then 12) rather than attempting more "mystical" methods... The problem with mystical methods is that they tend to skip fundamental steps, which phasing does not...

Hi Stev!

A lot of people find phasing easier. I could never seem to quite get the hang of it myself...however everyone is different so do what works for you.
