I have both of Bruce's books on AP- Astral Dynamics and Mastering astral projection. I recommend the latter because it is a workbook designed to enable concious OBE's in 90 days time , after a few years of reading Monroe's books, and a multitude of others I came across Bruce. I recommend this book to anyone practicing CM also, because the energy raising techniques in his books are great! I love tactile imaging. Anyhow, I have lucid dreamt alot and have had minor successes from saltcube's website. If anyone hasn't tried the timed napping, I recommend experimentation. I have not however had any success while trying to project while awake...through meditation or otherwise. However, everytime I do the rope technique or try to project conciously I feel the energy centers (chakras) beign stimulated, and always enter the vibrational state. I just lose focus after vibration's kick in and my body twitch's I am working more and more on yoga to defeat this problem....heh. Oh yea, every time I enter a heavy trance state, or am about to fall asleep and catch myself, I start to see very clear images "flash" about. I can focus in on them and rotate them some of the time , but most of the time they switch to another scene. While seeing these images I can sometimes change the target of the vision, but then stuff seems to go wrong and everything turns into pitch blackness with swirling blue swirls of swirly stuff....I have tried to use these "scenes" to project myself into, but now think it as an unwise Idea, banish first....hope some of this helps, I will give anyone who wants saltcubes site's URL to them, just Pm me. -In LVX -V.V.L (IMG: style_emoticons/default/egypt1.gif)

I freaked out. I was just waking up from a not so funny dream, and, while half asleep, I decided to leave my body. So, I imagined a point above my head, and I started to force myself to reach it. After few minutes I heard a loud buzz, kind of like QUOTE a large truck going down the street . (IMG: style_emoticons/default/yahoo.gif) And I freaked out, thinking 'what the hell is that??' (IMG: style_emoticons/default/swoon2.gif) I am sooo pissed off!

My first conscious and intentional OBE's were around 15 years ago ... I would literally raise my energies from the base and visualise them looping round and round my body in tight circles ... I would do this with my eyes open until I could actually see movement around me .... I then began to feel the first movement in the solar plexus and then closed my eyes .... looking upwards from behind my eye lids .... the movement would then move into a definate spiralling which would increase and increase with the momentum of a vortex ... then I would feel myself begin to rise up and rise up .... I would lose consciousness for a moment or two then when my awareness returned ... I was in my bedroom looking back at my sleeping form ..... The early attempts at moving on from that point resulted in a jolt back into consciousness ... But with practice I became aware that I would think 'go downstairs' and I would literally move through my bedroom door and be aware of going down the stairs into the lounge downstairs ... My awareness was like being ghost like ... disconnected from the scene before me ... in silence ... with an incredible feeling of warmth, peace, heightened awareness .... Times I glanced around me .... I realised I had none of the 'astral chord' which the theory books talk about ... I would often go out into the steet outside ... before visualising the location or destination I wanted to go to ... then I would think 'go to ......' or visualise the place ... the desire (which is the exact word) would take me there ..... Nowadays when I OBE ... I put meditation music on and state my intention mentally ... there are moments of light headedness and the sensation of movement within then ... I go through a recognised visualisation and I am out free of form ... Movement and progress is definately via an instruction ... or a command like 'take me to ....' Note: this is my own personal experience; what works for me may not for you. As with most magic, you find the way which works best for you .... and stick it!

QUOTE if you could be in a vivid situation of moving outside your body, freely, but in colorless, black and white and shades of gray everywhere (as in all obects, the furniture, everything!), is it OBE? (IMG: style_emoticons/default/yahoo.gif) It's a very good chance you are in an OBE ... don't forget when you are out of the body, you no longer are relying on the five senses to 'explain' what is around you. You will be seeing the universe as it really is ... through the 'universal thought power' of your soul! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/angel.gif)

The good news is that I am pretty sure I had an OOBE (IMG: style_emoticons/default/clapping.gif) The bad news is that I freaked out again. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/fool.gif) I went to bed at 1 AM, I started to have those weird visons that aren't dreams and usually they're like a mental garbage, and suddenly, I was kind of floating above my bed, feeling really heavy, and moving slowly towards the other side of the bed. It was dark, and I was thinking: 'Mmm, I did it, I am out, fucking shit, I am out!' or smth like that. I remember being afraid to fly at a higher altitude, and when I reached the end of the bed I said to myself that's time to go back. The next thing I know is that I was staring at my lamp, trying to move. Of course, it was an impossible mission, and I was feeling numb and that buzzing cold energy was vibrating through me like an engine. After, i don't know, few seconds, I tried to move again, and I succeeded. It was 1:15 AM. I was feeling like a million bucks!!! happy and surprised, and fascinated. Great experience.

When I was practicing energy manipulation I started experiencing astral body shifting, didn't have a clue what it was, It happened first in the day times, then at nights.
Then I read about a technique where I visualize a light going back & forth, starting slowly and speeding up and getting nearer till it touches me, and getting harder helps, and my astral body flares up and I projected 1 foot out of body feel back then forth then back into body lol, and got a vertigo cause my thoughts where here and there, I felt really cold in the energy and it was noisy, thats if my memory is correct.
The trick for me was keeping that bright light moving and intensifying it inevery way, unfortunately as I say I had trouble focusing at the points of AP. - Also not long ago I woke up looking at the wall, there was nothing in my room, no door lol, I was hovering, was this AP, because it was just real, the wall have a dim light shinning on it when my room was pitch black!.

When I was young, I was fortunate enough to live near my grandmother. She (and her friends) taught me many things about, shall we say, metaphysical practices. She owned a shop of this nature and held community gatherings on a regular basis. As an avid member of this group, I often attended the meditation sessions. I remember on one occasion we were focusing on Astral Projection. While I had not really had much luck with this topic in the past, I found a really good reason to accomplish my goal that night. I had a friend that had been moved to his aunts house in another town about an hour away. I was fairly in tune at this time in my life and could sense something was wrong with him. I now find it interesting that this gave me the push I needed to accomplish AP.
We started out with a rather novice guided group meditation. As always, we were cleansed, grounded and centered. I saw myself begin to rise up and I also was able to see my silver cord. Instantly I was at my friends' aunt's house- which I had never been to. Actually, I had never really been to the town she lived in either. I saw him and felt an overwhelming urge to contact him, as there was a very sad feeling surrounding him.
The next day I called him and told him about what I had done. He of course, did not believe me- that is until I described in great detail his aunt's home. I knew what the walls looked like, the color of her sofa, the painting over it, where he was sitting, what direction he was facing, and what was on the television. He was stunned as I got every last detail correct- including his emotional state. As it turned out, he was actually on the verge of suicide that night, and was very happy (although a bit weirded out) to hear from me.
I wonder if this was more SRV than AP. Does anyone know what the difference is? Considering I felt/saw myself lift out and saw the cord- I am leaning towards AP. Any thoughts as to the difference between these practices?

I suppose I'll post my first OBE as well. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This is from my Ritual Journal regarding my first all out astral experience (At least the first one that I could remember fully) It's a long enough read, so feel free to grab some coffee :-) Also, it is copied verbatim, so you can see my thoughts as I wrote. Certain parts of the entry are marked "FF" to give greater clarification to you regarding the subject discussed. Also, certain parts are marked by "----" as to omit things that are too personal. Saturday Sept. 10th 2005 5:28pm
Last night (Friday), I had the most powerful Lucid Dream or Astral experience yet that I remember.
I went to bed around 6am-ish (Sat. morning, Fri night) after briefly reading some (not all) of my Ritual Journal experiences regarding that interesting Sunday when I did the Solar Ritual and recieved that interesting result and experience.
Also, I was re-reading for hours upon the ------ via Void. I guess before I went sleep, I was magickally inclined. I should also say my girlfriend and I went out earlier to a Buffalo Bills pep rally, and bacame a little saucy (slang term for lightly drunk-FF) , but by 6am I was pretty sober. Alcohol? Then again, maybe not.
I woke up today at 5pm on the nose. Partly because I was already extremely tired as I only had 3 hours of sleep Thurs. night, partly because I sleep a long time with Alcohol anyway. Also, I felt the Halo of White energy around my head again. What is that?
My memories are scattered somewhat , so they will not neccesarily be in chronological order, but I remember the lessons well.
* The first thing I remember was waking up in a darkish Rectangular room. I get the sense that I was floating. In fact I was. I was either in the middle or towards the back of the room, facing the entrance/exit, and gently floating up, then down towards the floor. The "image" of everything in front of me seemed to be "collecting itself", as if reality was shifting and coming together before me. I had the "sense" that I was dreaming.
I think at that point (when I had te "sense") is when I "woke up" inside the dream as much as I could. Later, I would wake up even more.
I went out of the room (but was stil there) or maybe I went toward the entrance and turned around.
I get the "sense" from memory that there was a being there in the center of the room, but I can't remember. All I remember is seeing "something", and I get the sense it may have been a person. Maybe not. That is all I remember at thise point.
*I think at theis point is the first time I woke up physically. I looked over at my girlfriend, and was somewhat in a daze. My concious faculty wasn't fully active (Like normal when someone wakes up from a deep sleep) I went back to sleep.
*I was in the Room again. This time I was hovering over a Bed. From memory, I wasn't concious at that point, but I thought "What the hell?". At THAT point, either I was concious or begining to be concious, I'm not clear, but when I went out into the hallway and turned right, I ended up in a small room with a refridgerator. Like a small room to go to when employee's are on thier lunch breaks. I was "Awake" then. I remember some White dude being there. Slim, with a black or darkish color sport coat and pants. He had black hair, and his hair color was sort of like the Actor Tom Hanks, except it had just little more on the top, and was a little more "greasy" or "wet and shiny" like an Italian or Latino. Also, he had Tom Hanks height and build. (He wasn't Tom Hanks) ( I have color vision in the Astral like I do when I dream, or when I perform rituals - FF)
I remember Him smiling at me, and us talking. I remember feeling suspicious, though it had more to do with "what was he doing here", rather than the feelings that came from Him. He "felt" Neutral leading to "friendly". For some reason, I also think he may have been the being in the room, but I'm not sure. It may have just been the Bed.
*At some point I became TOTTALY AWAKE inside the dream or Astral!!! Awake like I am now, but different. I suppose it's because my conciousness was "there" rather than "here".
Anyway, I was fully AWAKE. I felt my heart beat a little faster (like the other two times), but it was controllable (Thought:Calm down:) due to this happening twice before. (Lucid Dreams this past year-FF) I can't remember the circumstance, but to test if I was dreaming, I manipulated the Reality in front of me and it moved. This was the first lesson.
I remember thinking "let me test further" and I remember being on the sidewalk of a busy city street. I "went" there. No idea how I got there. I flew, but not over bulidings or what not. I was just "There".
I was sitting on the stoop of a building when a female was about to get into a car with someone. I caught the females attention with my eyes, and proceded to try and change her facial appearance to one of a fantasy girl that I wanted to have sex with. (Before the attempt, the girl was Puerto Rican with blondeish hair)
I saw her face start to change, but the Image (I was thinking I was awake inside of a dream -FF) refused the change by keeping it's shape. Also, the girls face copped an Attitude, and then she got into the car. I was like "What the hell?" , because I still thought it was a dream, and that she should've changed like what I did ealier (Whatever it was I did)
I should also note that I tried to force the Image (or Being as I now suspect) to submit to my will and change.
I was succesful on stopping her movement (as she resisted) but that was all. As I'm writing this, I'm thinking "OOPS!!! My Bad!!!!" I wish I could apologise . because I thought she was a dream. This was lesson two. (Beside being able to see in color and manipulate reality)
*The third lesson: There's some more shit that happened that i can't remember, because I was flexing my muscles in "There". That I mean is, I was moving reality and flying conciously. I just can't remeber what it was i was doing. But I DO know I was learning, and I had that "Sense" after the first two times in the Bedroom. I DO remember waving my hands in front a bright ass white light with rainbow colors coming in and out of it. I was fucking with the reality I was then experiencing (the Astral Light, I found out later -FF) I know, but I can't remember anything else at this moment.
I then began to REMEMBER things from my waking life. Particularly, the Demons from the ------ experience. At that point, I was in the room from the begining again. I got scared SHITLESS and felt the impetus to return to my body and wake up. (Basically, get the f%*! out of there- FF) I also notice, upon remembering, that the reality I was experiencing became "Chaotic" and "disorganised" due to the intense fear. Before the intense feeling, even with remembering the Demons, reality was fine. WHEN i got scared, reality, or my control and perception of it went to hell.
I then awoke floating above my body (When I was leaving the Room, it felt like I was sucking myself backwards. Moving backwards and down.)
I "Woke" floating. I had my back to my body, but as I was floating, I thought it was my body floating (Now I know it was my astral body). I was still scared shitless because I had no idea how to protect myself.
At this point, I remembered the Qabalistic Cross, or rather, the White Cross Light, and filled my body with it. It felt funny, filling myself up with it's light. It felt like "pressure".
I filled my body up with the cross, with the Intention of protection and getting back down (To stop floating) ( I recognise now that this was more of a method to quell the fear than anything else, though, the Intents were effective nonetheless. - F.F.)
I gradually floated down as God's Light filled me. Also, the worry and fear subsided and was replaced by the Light.
I woke up in my body. I looked around and had the impetus to "test" it to see if I was dreaming again. ( I didn't TOTALLY figure out I was Astral till I was writing this record) (Also, the other times I woke up, I tested reality again by attempting to change it, and also when I went back to sleep. That is how I LEARNED to know when I was sleep. If I could change reality, I was Astral, etc. That technique also helped me WAKE UP fully and to know that I'm awoke)
I recognised that this reality did not move with my thoughts, and that I indeed did return home.
*Lesson 4, I CAN return from an Astral experience by my willing it. And Indeed, the Author Lon Milo Duquette was right. The Qabalistic Cross (and by extension, the LBRP, though I did not perform it) and LBRP may indeed "One day, save your life"
I turned over and went back to sleep/ Awoke at 5pm, and began writing this.Wow, the memories, lol! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) -F.F. This post has been edited by Frater F.A.M.E.: Aug 11 2006, 07:27 AM

I had my first OBE about three years ago. I used to get annoyed, because when the time came to get to sleep, when I closed my eyes it seemed like they were still open & I could still see everything. I'd wave my hands in front of me, and see a misty outline of my hands as they moved, etc. So, one night, I decided that if I just saw myself moving, taking a walk around the bronx in my mind they maybe I'd drift to sleep. Well, I was proved wrong. when I got 'down the street', I felt a wierd numbness/vibration. Like when a h1 hummer is blasting music right next to you. I tried to SEE myself, like you can in dreams & I couldn't, everything was from my point of view. I just walked back to my room, layed back into my body & that was that.. At the time I knew what OBE's were, but I didn't care to try it, it just happend by accident. From then I've used the same method. I imagine myself stepping out my body and do numerous little things until I feel that snap (Like 'tieing my shoes', or 'getting dressed'). Then when I feel the snap, I just keep going. Pretty neat trick when you want to take walks around your neighborhood at 4 in the morning without being bothered ;-).

Well hello, this is my first post on this forum as well but...i thought i'd dive right in instead of writing an awkward intro post.
First OBE experience was early morning and not something I planned on considering I only used to try for an OBE before i went to bed.
Early one saturday morn I was lying in bed, hearing people making their early saturday morning noises and i thought i'd just attempt an OBE, after about 5 minutes I opened my eyes and realised i was actually still asleep on my bed. Everything was yellow and hazy and so I knew I was having an OBE as, unless I fell asleep with yellow tinted, foggy yellow sunnies on, the world is not usually such a yellow place.
The experience itself was rather quick. I sleep in a bunk bed and i jumped from the top bunk onto the floor and the ground itself was very soft, sort of like landing on a thick pillow, I then went to the door in an attempt to pass through it, I was eager to experience all the feelings of Astral projection even though i've only sucessfully passed through an object recently. I put my hands to the door and while the door felt very soft and thick, like a marshmellow, I couldn't pass through it, i then heard someone near my door and my concious brain kicked it, I flew back into my body and woke up with a smile on my face, happy that i'd had my first OBE.
I've only had about 3 other sucessful OBE's in the 2 years i've been attempting it but my first one will always be special for me.
Ta loves, Spindel
