I Managed An Oob Vision!, An attempted self-repair. Options

After much meditation and shamanistic counseling, I found one of my problems to be a MASSIVE blockage in my 3rd eye.

This morning, I entered a relaxed state as I layed down beside my girlfriend. I drifted off to a semi-sleep state, and then one of my servitors triggered my awareness alerts (I had it grafted onto me). It shot a small alarm of vibe that essentially said, "You are in a generalized astral state of being." Then I marginally focused to be in a relaxed, but wakeful state of mind with my body our of my awareness. It felt as if my entire being focused into form from mist. I said in my mind, "I will now astral project." A fluctuation of energy surrounded me and flowed through me. Aware of my blockage, and how it may hinder my projection skills, I willed my mind to send a message to the astral. "Show me the door," I called, and with my mind, imagining my hand knocking on a door. This door, mind you, was an astral rendition of my 3rd eye Chakra. Although I could not control myself fully, I was able to see something with which I likened to be like a scouting monitor of some sort exploring the astral for me, because I could not do so fully at this time. It was my psionic servitor eye.

As it went by, through a dark void, I saw something that looked like an indic drawing design based off an "X" inside of an elaborately drawn composite boxform. On each end of the "X" was something that resembled a spade shape, and in the center was a Yin-Yang. My focus then zoomed in to a place on the bottom of the x, between the legs of it, latitudinally at the bottommost elevation, and slightly right of center longitudinally from the middle. I zoomed in more, and I saw a phantom door (it looked like a bunch of white ether lines being drawn in space to make an astral door). The door opened, and something came out to look around. It looked like a phantom rendition of the disembodied head of the pokemon Magmar. It quickly fled back inside the door and I followed to see what the matter was. When I entered, I saw something I never would have imagined...

The entire land was made of shadow energy, and the landscape looked drawn like a blackboard with chalk-art, but in this case made from ether-chalk. The sky was a strange glowing blood-red, the kind you see only in cartoons. A good example is the color of the sky when Uchiha Itachi uses his special Sharingan attack on somebody, entrapping them within their own mind (from the anime Naruto).

I entered and saw a hill with a tree on top, all black like a blackboard/shadow with the differentiations in dimension looking like cell shading effects with white ether borders and outlines. I woke up as I lost concentration.

Now, as I think back to it, I was trying to enter my own mind, I believe. But does anyone know what a landscape like that would entail?? What could such a visualization possibly symbolize?! Help please?

As it went by, through a dark void,

I have experienced as I call it “the void”. I believe its a place where your mind can create your desire and then follow up on it.

For instance: the moment you enter the void your mind is set on meeting a specific entity. Then your mind shapes in what ever form necessary for you to proceed to get to that entity.

Or you’re mind is set on in your case to astral travel. It’s a powerful place were the mind can make everything possible. Mind though if your mindset is negative the outcome can be just as negative. So if you enter it with hell and damnation on your mind, guess what you get? So my advice. Happy thoughts guys happy thoughts when entering the void. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/13.gif)

Not to knock you out of the sky Peter Pan but you can explore the astral with just that mindset and not call anything in particular just to see what is already there, which is what it looks like Xenomancer did.

From my experience with the astral through oob or astral projections is the astral is more "solid" then my experience with lucid dreaming, which some say is the equivalent of astral projection though I disagree. Lucid dreams anything and everything could be manipulated including the "people"/"entities". Oob astral projection the places visited and the "entities" could not be manipulated easily or changed physically. Has anyone had this difference in experience?

great job that was astral projection in the lower plane. youll usually get trapped in dreams at first but first get used to getting into that kind of trance. create your own way to induce and stay in the astral.
thats how i have been able to project 5 times in 2 months.

my best wishes

Thanks for the input, folks. Slayden, thanks especially. You had my attitude right on the money: My intuition told me that it had no bearing concerning my current state of mood, and it was just a search instead.

Lower planes, huh? Yeah, I figured as much too. I still have alot of work to do. It's hard to induce that precursory state for Astral/oob/Remote viewing. Hell, its even harder to set up just for those precursor states, much less try to set factors for the set up for.....you get the idea. I'm in a part of the US where the magick community just has too many "students" and not enough "teachers," if ya know what I mean. So, it means that my progress may be rather slow...
