This is intended to help those who want to try to enter a NPR who have little knowledge.
Success is yours.
As some on site are reasonably proficient in this NP reality thing, a few common points keep arising. To teach this is a wieldy prospect but not impossible. A few similies are easier to understand as getting a subjective point across can be difficult through language.
The thing is this physical reality is very similar to your home. Inside it's consistant and safe. Best of all you know so much about it and its contents. (This house can represent the physical reality).
Knowing that very young children (beginners) don't often go outside of this safe house alone, the great outdoors (wider reality) is occasionally viewed through a window. (spontaneous projection first experience).
As these children grow and learn a way in life, they are made aware of the great outdoors. (anyone coming to this site seeking information).
Once experiences start in the great outdoors they learn that they each have to do a job to promote longevity and survival of our race. This is an expectation and a requirement for intergration and cooperation to produce a functional society. ( this is where you learn to become proficient within NP environments and start to realise things like conciousness is much more than that of being physically alive).
Teaching this to the whole planet through personal experiences will put mankind into a totally different way of life. This is an ultimatum, a divinity of sorts to create utopia on this planet.
The reality of this is far in the future of man. At present all we can do is build a strong foundation like that of Monroe and others. Integrate our gained knowledge and proceed with careful consideration for every single person who wishes to explore the Non Physical Reality that we represent on the Pulse.
Many times the same questions are asked, each from an aspiring NPR seeker.
All the questions that follow are particular to that person. Some come with a good knowledge wanting opinions and sharing experiences with others. Others have hardly started to read anything but remember from a past experience that someone else has posted on this site, smitten and information hungry they digest the words knowing there was more to it.
Others wish to try, no experiences at all, just think its a fascinating subject.
A few less want it proved to exist as death itself represents an awful concept.
It would be nice to have it all in one place with a few Q n A's which clarify all aspects to a point of self teaching.
One fact remains. Some on the Pulse have gone to hell and back to learn this. Im not talking of the difficulty, I mean being trapped in a hell dimension. An actual NP experience where fear runs away with you. All this and being on your own. Can't tell anyone for fear of being locked up and drugged to senselessness. These are the pioneers who have done it the hard way. These are few and their knowledge is paramount to this whole subject.
Their knowledge is as high as a Buddhist monk, most don't accept this but the fact remains.
No names are mentioned out of deepest respect.
Where do we go from here?
An example,
In the beginning, its all stories and disbelief, but, an air of skepticism still has a slice of insight, an enigmatic microchasm down to the core. This tiny crack in the skeptical viewpoint is all it takes. From this the curiosity will eventually make this firm disbeliever a prophet and mentor.
How did this occur?
The fact that a chance of this being real was too much a challenge to walk away from.
The chance its real would totally change your life completely.
Its too big to ignore as nonsense. The thought of flat world comes to pass and the rest was history.
The above is my understanding of ONE WELL KNOWN author. I knew nothing of, until I joined the Pulse.
If this skeptic can become master, so can any of you.
More on site have been born to this and have a very high energy store or energy-efficient metabolism.
Its a case of remembering the feelings associated with those earlier days and integrating them while phasing or the chosen method.
The rest unfortunately need a few pointers. Some may need dynamite too in order to gain access to the various NP realities.
A generalised start is required.
Part 2.
Where do we go from here?
As a starting point to get out of the physical vehicle we are presented with a myriad of informations all saying different things. The end result is the same.
What do you need to know?
This is something that applies to all of you who wish to exit this physical world.
Patience.
This is required as the way it works can't be forced. You, at present hold a square peg yet the hole is round. A little work is required and the peg fits through. It will take a few attempts the rounder it gets. Work has to be done.
To enable your first NP experience you need a few pointers.
It works naturally so the time involved will be different for everyone.
What works today may not tomorrow.
A phasing example will be worked on and the concept itself needs to be adhered to. The way it works for you in particular will be different from many others. You can use the guidelines below and change anything that grates at your way of doing things.
Relaxation.
This is very important. The general idea of being relaxed is to have no worries or cares, anything that needs your attention must be dealt with. You should be left with nothing but yourself and plenty of time.
The aim now is to become totally still where no loud or sudden changes occur close to you. A soundproof room is ideal but the noise from a fan or a radio tuned inbetween stations on FM can be used. An alternative is headphones playing a binaural beat for at least an hour. Use one for Astral Projection as the frequency within is correct. The same applies to lighting. A TV flashing like a strobe is not recommended to start. Pitch black or a soft constant light can be used to the same effect. If you prefer a red glow then use it, whatever makes you feel safe.
At this point your environment should be set enabling your attempts the best chance of fruition.
Comfort.
This is a questionable topic. Use of your bed is great, it can also be a hindrance. For years you've got in and gone to sleep. This action has trained your subconcious to do exactly that. Although the attempt you're making is similar, getting in bed isn't the best option. However, few people lie fully clothed on the bed for a nights sleep. This is the best option as long as you are wearing comfy clothes.
A point brought up is if you constantly fall asleep too easily then another location may help. A recliner for example. Also being slightly uncomfortable in your resting position may help. Its your body and hopefully you know what to do given the above options.
The Principle.
It's simple, go to sleep keeping only your mind awake. How? By listening and passively watching what appears as you try to sleep. The idea is to stay awake just enough to have some awareness that the 'you' keeps ticking over but not your physical body. This has to be ignored. The same way it is when you are dreaming. You are in the dream not in your body. You're acting out whatever totally unaware of the fact your physical is asleep in your bed. The 'you' is doing whatever in the dream, its this you that has to stay alert.
Where we are.
Comfy in a relaxed frame of mind, eyes closed in a suitable location and low or chosen background noise.
Awareness.
This is a key factor. You have to keep yourself aware without any analysis on whats happening. A placid frame of mind is required as anything grabbing your attention will put you back a step. You can look with your eyes closed at the grainy backdrop and just stare at a point within it. Sounds strange but do it. It's something you actually do whilst sunbathing. Some colours or shaded areas may appear, perhaps a recognisable pattern. The thing to do now is IGNORE IT ALL. Yes things will appear and after a while you'll be drifting in and out of sensibility, thats where you'd normally fall asleep.
Now you have been noticing the visions from within yourself you may have also noticed some noises.
These are common and can be from a gentle hiss to an earthquake in your room with some loud voice shouting your name. They are natural so let them occur.
Stay aware in this non- reactive way for as long as you can and things will start to progress further.
Where am I now?
In a comfy position looking within myself and actually noticing strange sounds and images come and go.
Part 3.
This is where the fun begins.
You should have found a part of you NOT actually that prominent. Its your body. This technique is slowly taking your awareness into another conciousness that DOESN'T require your physical body. You are phasing out of a physical world into a non-physical one. The amount is conditional on one thing. Have you thought of, or moved, or even been aware of your physical body?
As long as you were not moving etc you may have heard a pulsating, rumbling noise, it's your physical asleep and snoring its head off. If not you may not snore. Its one of the first signs that you are entering the halfway point. Keep going, its the awareness that you have to keep in a passive way. It's important not thinking of anything to do with the physical world. You will be just 'you', a single point of conciousness and through these initial stages you will appear to be less involved with the body and ending up in your head. The body itself is sleeping. At this point continue on being passive. The images by now normally start to become picture like. There's recognisable detail but keep your eye's fixed on that spot. Ignore the visualisations, its hard but needs to happen.
From this point there could also or either be sound phrases. These are clips of music either known or not. Strange zings and whistles with a background squeal that lasts, all are normal. Voices too in all manner from shouts, babies crying to soft words. IGNORE THEM. After a short time you may have been aware of your wakeful state and nothing of your body. Its like a blackness in general with its light shows and scenes and you are still aware of yourself but now as a single point of awareness.
You may start to drift in and out of this blackness a few times. Possibly having what seem like mini dreams. These are normal and it's here where sleep can win. You could easily lose it so try to keep a check on your awareness as you will learn to snap back to this blackness with a single thought of hey I'm dreaming and don't want this right now.
If you wake up for real from this point and everything seems physical you may be awake in the physical. You may actually be awake in a non-physical location thats a copy. You could get up and try a light switch or similar. If it works then its the physical world and well done getting so far. If the switch doesn't do much then get a good distance from your body as you've made the transition and you're out.
There's another thing associated and thats known as sleep paralysis SP. This is where you are awake in your body but your body doesn't respond to your commands. Its natural and it can be a frightening experience. The job here is to stay calm and use this as a platform for an exit. A common one is to relax and attempt to roll out of your body. If successful you'll be in the non physical. Get away from your sleeping body to a place 30 feet or so.
None of the above can happen and you'll need to carry on being passive. Eventually the scenes in the background will be very clear almost life like or perhaps much clearer. This is the point where the sounds heard usually are synchronized with the images presented. This is the point where you can interact with the scene. You have control and an exit is already happening. Some people report getting the vibrations at this point. If so you ignore them as best you can, they will fade and when so an interaction with the scene should be attempted.
Interaction.
This is where you examine whats going on like in a film. You do have a lot of control of the situation and careful thought is required. The same applies if you wake up too much and find yourself in SP. Another one is where you partly wake yourself usually from the mini dreams and find a different blackness. This one feels massive its a 3D place like a giant cavern.
In all of these situations you are at the door. The saying of thought=action comes to its own. Here is where the fear factor within you gets tested. It can run away with you so stop all thoughts in this direction. This FEAR is self induced. You are able to scare yourself easily and ruin the exit. Remember you are now in total control of everything around you. Know this and carry on to opening the door
Methods.
Part 4.
The techniques available are many and vary from person to person. It's finding one that appeals and trying it out a few times.
Should you manage to get this far quickly and fail because of not knowing whats next, that would be a sad thing.
The visualisations you've seen should be the same as when in the physical. Its the same as in a dream. You can control them. They appear infront of most people like a giant TV screen. You simply interact and get involved. You will become active in this the same as in a lucid dream. You can carry on in your creations or change them with a simple thought suggestion.
Basically as you are in control, you need somewhere where you can go to.
A safe place local to you is usually the best option. It could be a room in your house as long as its furthest away in a straight line from your sleeping body. A friends house or even the local park is better.
You think of this place, being there, seeing it and KNOW that's where you'll be. You can close your eyes while thinking this, knowing you'll see it when you open them. It could take a few tries at first as anything on your mind will manifest. This method works well from the 3D blackness. It works when you get away from your sleeping body. It works if you have entered the scene you created earlier. You need to be aware of yourself.
Staying aware.
When you're able to get familiar with this new world the rules are different from daily life. They take some adjustment. Now you're out, a short stay is recommended so you remember it clearly.
In addition, all the passivity to get here has to stop. Now its just the opposite. You need to react with the surroundings. Feel the ground, rub your hands to feel the warmth, feel and examine any objects you can. Hold your hands infront of your eyes and they normally appear to melt. It's a natural phenomenon, it proves you're in an altetnate reality. Demand clarity, by having a strong desire to be able to see clearly, all your senses will come alive. Thought controls the force. If you really want something so badly you'll go to the ends of the Earth to get it, this INTENT is what needs to be developed. You will learn this quickly.
After a while in the NPR you may feel a tug or your conciousness slipping, this is your times up sign. Going back. to your physical body at this point could cause you to forget some of your experience. Rub your hands together and feel the surrounding objects to get back the clarity. Slowly, using thought, get back to your body. A simple thought of being just above it is enough. This enables better memory recall, you could write things down upon return. Normally the experience is that rooted you automatically remember most of it clearly.
Learning.
This is in your own hands. The limits are outside that of the physical. You can read minds and communicate an encyclopedia in a flash. Moving objects remotely and even time travel is possible.
Take things one step at a time.
Guides are always at hand and mostly invisible to you. You ask for help and they may help you in many ways. Anyone you meet will give off a mental radiance. If unsure ask them " What's your intent". They either go away or communicate.
Have no fear based thoughts. Its your world. You may learn this in one lesson. Thoughts=action, remember you're almost limitless. Various realities have differing rules. Enjoy them, what you do, may be done to you. One good deed... should you be behaving inappropriately for the NPR you are in you will find yourself moved to another fitting your actions. You need to remember this. Out of the frying pan puts you in the fire. The lower frequency realities are no place for one with little experience.
There are schools and lessons you may be sent to by your guides. Learn to be yourself, when successful and have gained a greater understanding you may be sent on a quest, even a retrieval. Its a great feeling once you're successful in this. What you know will be required for this. You'll understand this in time.
Info to read.
There are many books on this subject some freely available. With a read of some you'll find various ideas and ways to help in your progress. We all travel different routes but can arrive at the same destination.
The FaQ section has info worth a read.
http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_the_astral_faq-b46.0/ The Vehram Energy System is interesting. It holds connection to the vibrations and can aid in exit routines.

Use the search box at the top right of the page. You know how it works obviously.
When well informed any questions you have will be backed up with some knowledge and hopefully experiences.
This does take time and can't be rushed.
Rome wasn't built in a day...
Perfection is attained with practice, go practice.
Enjoy the trip.
