What's the difference between AP and PHASING !

hello,

I see many times in that foum; phasing , the phase..

What's the difference between AP and PHASING !

:p

AP is to phasing what swimming is to the backstroke.

AFAIK the phase is just a catch all term for any non physical place. I'm not fond of it myself. I think it's a fairly new term. Might have been coined by that guy summerlander keeps going on about but I dont know.

Well, "Astral Projection" is the action... "Phasing" is one way you can do that action.

After "phasing" from one focus of awareness (usually the starting point is "physical" awareness or focus) to another focus of awareness, the objective experience that occurs is broadly termed "Astral Projection". The most common term for the "non-physical" state/focus of awareness is "Astral". As we are primarily physical-focus beings, in our current stage of development, we relate more easily to time-space-distance things.. so of course we have a need to label these other awareness focii as "places" because we feel as if we have changed locations. So these are places are commonly called "Astral Planes". When you project light from a movie projector on to a screen, you are sending the light out from the source to the target destination or place. So the term "Astral Projection" refers to an "act" of projecting your conscious "awareness" to the "Astral Plane".

When you employ a "phasing" method or technique, you attempt to switch on/off/between the awareness of two different awareness states. Once this is accomplished, when going from physical to non-physical, you are considered to be Astrally Projecting.

thanks guys;

that means, Phasing is a thechnique that leads to AP,

so we can APing, via Lucid dreams, via Wilds, and via phasing ?

phasing is (( meditation of visualizing yourself in another place ))  ??

Yerp.. there are many different ways to achieve the projection of the focused awareness to other states. Phasing, as a term, itself is coined from electronics.. I am not an electronics guru.. but the idea is that we have currently focused our energy into "phase" with a physical manifestation (or shell). We are more than just the physical body.. we extend all the way back to the "source" and can focus our energy phase to any point along that energy matrix. There's no need to follow a linear or serial progression, you can simply phase (switch) from point A to point B.. just like you can shift you focus to one or more of your other senses if you remove one of them. If you close your eyes, you can shift your focus of attention/awareness to your sense of touch in your fingers. This is a shift, switch or phase in awareness though still very much in the physical. Imagine if you were an animal that could not see but had all the other 4 senses.. how different would your existence be? It would be extremely different. Even people who are born blind still have the brain-wiring of someone who can see.

Anyway.. the point is that the method is just a method.. a tool.. a way of achieving.. but try not to be limited by your tools.. that's probably the hardest thing to overcome.. don't be a "slave to the machine" so to speak.

"Phasing" is an umbrella term for any method that shifts your conscious awareness directly into the non-physical while retaining that awareness.
For example... A Wake Induced Lucid Dream (WILD) IS phasing.

"The phase" is a term coined by Michael Raduga which incorporates every type of experience that happens in the non-physical... it's not to be confused with "Phasing" though.  I prefer to not use it as it conflicts in such a manner with my own terminology... but I understand what he means by it.
