"If you see the world from space, there are no demarcation lines, not even a hint of nationalism and ideology is present. Staring at the world today, what we see as the bloody history of human beings and the demands of their religion, it is not present here. It's a tiny spec, only a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

"When Albert Einstein published his theory of relativity in 1905 he shook the very foundations of science. Without going into complex detail, his theory of relativity is in fact so complex that most of the world's top physicists still cannot fully grasp the implications of his theory today. What Albert Einstein essentially proved was everything is energy. Previously, physicists believed that everything was made up of two separate elements, matter and energy. This, had it been true would mean that the human mind was separate from the human body. With his theory, Einstein turned this idea of separateness on its head. E = mc2, in fact, proved that everything is energy and therefore there is no dualistic world, everything in the Universe is connected."

So I am still aspiring to be an astral projector.. I have been making many changes. I am a vegetarian and plan on going Vegan soon.. I am 17 and I have am currently working on my ability to concentrate and deep physical relaxation. I have been reading books not on AP, but in general, spiritual growth. I am focusing on spiritual growth and I have been meditating in the morning and at night. I still have to work on my concentration though because I still need to be able to have a single-pointedness focus when I am physically relaxed in a chair.
The obstacle I have to face the most is getting little sleep. Since I am a high school student and athlete, on some days, I am only able to get 4-5 hours of sleep and it definitely makes it hard to meditate when you're tired.

Back into Astral Projection! Yes!!
I finally got encouraged to start attempting astral projection again! I gave up for a little more than a year. Im back into my practice and on the first day of meditating in the morning I got vibrations and heard a buzzing noise after being in meditation for a little more than an hour. They were very brief though, only around 5seconds. This has never happened to me before so it was a sucessful session. I found out that the best time to astral project for me is in the morning after a good night's sleep. I'm so glad that i'm practicing again, I missed this practice even though I haven't projected yet. I'm very positive about astral projection and hope to have an experience soon.

UPDATES
The exact day I learned about astral projection was Monday September 15th, 2008. Today its September 26th, 2009. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to practice anymore because of school and extracurricular activities. During summer vacation I took a great astral projection course on GnosticWeb. It is a 9-week course and I only did up to the 4th week because school started. In order to successfully astral project it takes dedication, something I have not been able to have anymore. I'll further my attempts to astral project maybe during the next summer vacation and definetely when I graduate High School. Until then, I have to focus on my grades but I still plan on astral projecting for the rest of my life. Until next time!

I saw a video on youtube "Induce an AP" My body was really relaxed and my body got numb just by listening to the video for 9 minutes. The binaural beat helps to get your body relaxed. The first time I saw the video I stopped at 5:00 because I heard someone coming. The second time I listened to the whole video and was relaxed but stopped when it ended. Anyone else tried this video?

I have been remembering many dreams lately. On Thursday I went to sleep at 5:00 PM and woke up the next day at 4:00 AM and remembered at least 5 dreams. Yesterday I went to sleep at around 11:00 PM and woke up today at 8:00 AM and remembered around 3 dreams. I haven't been writing them down though and none of them have become lucid because I haven't been asking myself "Am I dreaming" or done any lucid dream techniques. My dream recollection has definetly improved.

Will try this AP technique sometime. They say it works wonders for many people.
Mind Awake=Body Asleep this is all you need to AP you don’t need a technique at all. Here is how you do it when your rested repeat in your mind. Mind Awake and try to move your consinious to your brain. Then say Body Asleep in your mind and move your consciousness to your body its that easy. What I do is make two different colors so I can switch back and forth from Mind Awake and Body Asleep. I imagine my Body is a light blue and my brain is orange. When you inhale say in your mind Mind Awake then imagine your body is a light blue with an orange brain. Since your mind is awake increase the color of your orange brain make it brighter and your body dimmer. Then do the opposite when you exhale Say in your mind Body Asleep and dim your orange brain and make your light blue body brighter. You have to remember to say Mind awake or Body asleep in your mind depending on witch one your moving your consciousness to. This is a very easy method you have to try it.

Why Can't I Reach Mind Awake / Body Asleep! Help
I just woke up from attempting to OBE. I started at 2:00 PM. I started to relax myself. I inhaled and exhaled and pictured every part of my body relaxing. Nothing happend. I just kept getting sleepy and sleepy. I kept inhaling and exhaling and tried to relax myself. 50 minutes later at 2:50 PM my body was itching all over and it was very hot. I also became tired of laying in the same position for 50 minutes! I kinda gave up there because I don't think it would take 50 minutes to relax my body. I tried to lift up my hand and it was reall.y heavy and then I tried to lift up my legs and also was very heavy. How do I relax my body until the point where I get the pre-projection signs like buzzing and vibrations. For 50 minutes that I was trying to reach the mind awake body asleep state nothing happens except my body gets really heavy. Then I get tired of laying in the same position for so long and just gave up. I tried everything to relax my body. I kept telling myself I will have an OBE but nothing.
Thursday, November 27, 2008
Happy Thanksgiving! I have started reading the e-book Treatise on Astral Projection by Robert Bruce and it has been helping me. I still can't reach the Mind Awake / Body Asleep state yet. That is my only problem on why I haven't been able to OBE. I've tried a lot and tonight it will be very cold so I wonder if I can still attempt to OBE. I will cover myself with extra sheets and attempt to get the Mind Awake / Body Asleep state. That is my goal for now. Also, there is a big mirror in my room and when I OBE will I see my astral body in the mirror and will the mirror cause me to get scared and stop the OBE? What will happen when I see my Astral Body in the mirror? When I see my physical body on the bed ahsleep I will probably be shocked but excited too. My way of attempting to AP is to lie vertically on my bed. Is there a direction that is best for inducing an OBE? I really want to have an OBE and feel that lightness of my body. In the morning, I don't know how to attempt to OBE because when I wake up in the morning my nose is very stuffy, I have to pee, my back hurts sometimes after waking up. All these things would distract me from relaxing my body so how am I suppose to attempt an OBE in the morning.

Another weird OBE related dream.
Second Post of the day. Just woke up for a dream around an hour ago. I had another dream that I was having an OBE but did not feel like one again. I dreamt I was meditating in some area that seemed like a school (dont know why) to induce an OBE and a thunderbolt had shocked me and it made me have an etheric projection. It was a weird dream. I was APing and then was in etheric projection and traveling while seeing in skies. I can't remember anymore of it because I didn't write it when I woke up. It was from an afternoon nap. I tried to OBE and get Mind Awake / Body Asleep but immediately fell asleep when I relaxed my body and had this crazy dream.
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
When I can actually achieve the Mind Awake / Body Asleep state I will use rope technique to get my out of the body. When I had that lucid dream the way I tried to get out of my body was by imagining my soul just flying off my body and that was easy. I'll definetly get close to doing it during christmas because i'll have time to practice.

I know what my problems are in why I haven't been able to AP. I have belief that I can project since I felt it in a lucid dream and belief is an important thing to have if you want to OBE. I also have no fear whatsoever of projecting. My problem is relaxation. I am bad at relaxing and getting to the mind awake / body asleep state and getting to the vibrations. I try to do rythmatic breathing and try to relax every muscle in my body but I just fall asleep. Other times I get these annoying itches that won't let me relax. This weekend I haven't been able to practice that much because I have been going to sleep late and then in the morning today I had a doctor's appointment. I need to improve on my relaxation. I also forget to write my dreams down in the morning. On weekdays I set my alarm clock 30 minutes before I wake up for school so I can do dream recollection but I always fall asleep until my 2nd alarm clock wakes me up for school. Other times I wake up late and have to get ready for school. On the weekends I just forget to write down my dreams. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I PROJECT.
Friday, November 21, 2008
Thursday, November 20, 2008
I am still very confident and patient about AP. I will eventually have an OBE and there is no rush for me. Right now my goal is just to get vibrations because I haven't really felt any vibrations just when I first started to attempt it my body got really heavy and felt very weak sparks throughout my body for like 30 seconds but then went away.

Concious OBE or regular dream?
Had a weird but amazing dream this morning. I dreamt I had my first OBE.. I had an astral body but did not see my physical body at all. In the dream I was practicing astral flight and was helping someone get around in the astral. It did not seem like an OBE but felt like a dream. I sat on the ground and tried to levitate. Everytime I concentrated on flying I floated up and when I lost concentration for a while I went back down. It was weird because It felt like I astral projected, I could see my astral body and was with someone else. Im not counting this as an OBE. I was awakened by the alarm clock and it felt weird working up (it took be a long time to get back to reality)

I have no school on fridays so I will be able to attempt and project. I want to actually do it because I have been waiting for a really long time to AP. I never got close by relaxing my body and getting vibrations. I only got far when I had a lucid dream. Here is a cool AP method I found on astral-projection.org.
There are four main types of exercises you can use when trying to induce an obe. They are:
Relaxation
Energy Balancing
Mind Control
Focus
In addition to these you can also use prayer at the beginning of the practice. Below is described a typical practice session. Begin by laying down on your bed with the door closed, a pillow under your knees and a comforter over you. Most authorities on astral travel recommend that you find a place where you will be undisturbed. Take a few moments to ground yourself *in* your body, to relax into yourelf at the moment at this particular place and time. Then you can say a prayer that goes something like this: "Dear God/dess, Creator, Angels and Guides from the Light: I pray that I may leave my body in order to ...................... Please help me and protect me in this endeavor!"Then visualize yourself surrounded with white light, and as you focus in on this light you become absorbed in the beauty of this energy and often have some wondrous visions and feelings of peace.
Relaxation
Then begin to focus on your feet, and in a typical relaxation exercise, move through my body from toe to head stretching, clenching and then relaxing each body part. Visualize energy swirling through each part of your body releasing tension.
Energy Balancing
Then cleanse, balance and charge your chakras.
Mind Control
Then you can use a technique adapted by the author years ago from the Silva Mind Control teachings to put your body to sleep. In your mind say: "I'm going to count down from 3 to 1, visualizing each number on a white orb suspended in the air above my head, and when I reach the third and final "1" my body will be asleep and I will have no awareness of physical sensations. I will not perceive any physical discomfort, and my consciousness will be focused on my astral body." Then visualize a white orb suspended in the air above your head. When you will be mentally well-focused on the orb, visualize a number "3" on the face of the orb. The numbers can be any color you choose. The important thing is to create a pattern, for training your brain to react the way you desire whenever you perform this sequence. This is the heart of the power of ritual!Visualize the 3 three times: three number "3's" on the orb. "My body is completely relaxed, becoming numb. I am losing awareness of physical sensation." Then repeat the visualization with three number "2's." "My body is asleep now. I feel no sensations, no discomfort. I will now visualize the "1's." When I am finished, I will have no awareness of physical sensations. My consciousness will be in my astral body." Then visualize the "1's" three times. "My body is now completely asleep. I have no awareness of physcial sensations. My consciousness is in my astral body." The benefit of training your mind this way is that you can greatly accelerate the process of transferring your awareness away from the physical body. Each time you practice this, the programming becomes a little bit stronger, after some time you will visualize the numbers and have your body asleep in two or three minutes.
Focus
Once you are in this state try to clear your mind by focusing on your breath, or the tip of your tongue, or any one thing. The key is to remain conscious while your body is asleep. Naturally, all sorts of thoughts pull you from the focus, but you can return as soon as you notice you've strayed to your concentration on one thing. Your obe's can often occur after a period of focus when your mind has drifted and has been on the verge of sleep. This is when you have awakened to find yourself either out of the body or when the "surges" have come on. You will often doze off when beginning practice, but take it up again when you are awake by focusing your attention and trying to remain conscious while your body sleeps.
There are four main types of exercises you can use when trying to induce an obe. They are:
Relaxation
Energy Balancing
Mind Control
Focus
In addition to these you can also use prayer at the beginning of the practice. Below is described a typical practice session. Begin by laying down on your bed with the door closed, a pillow under your knees and a comforter over you. Most authorities on astral travel recommend that you find a place where you will be undisturbed. Take a few moments to ground yourself *in* your body, to relax into yourelf at the moment at this particular place and time. Then you can say a prayer that goes something like this: "Dear God/dess, Creator, Angels and Guides from the Light: I pray that I may leave my body in order to ...................... Please help me and protect me in this endeavor!"Then visualize yourself surrounded with white light, and as you focus in on this light you become absorbed in the beauty of this energy and often have some wondrous visions and feelings of peace.
Relaxation
Then begin to focus on your feet, and in a typical relaxation exercise, move through my body from toe to head stretching, clenching and then relaxing each body part. Visualize energy swirling through each part of your body releasing tension.
Energy Balancing
Then cleanse, balance and charge your chakras.
Mind Control
Then you can use a technique adapted by the author years ago from the Silva Mind Control teachings to put your body to sleep. In your mind say: "I'm going to count down from 3 to 1, visualizing each number on a white orb suspended in the air above my head, and when I reach the third and final "1" my body will be asleep and I will have no awareness of physical sensations. I will not perceive any physical discomfort, and my consciousness will be focused on my astral body." Then visualize a white orb suspended in the air above your head. When you will be mentally well-focused on the orb, visualize a number "3" on the face of the orb. The numbers can be any color you choose. The important thing is to create a pattern, for training your brain to react the way you desire whenever you perform this sequence. This is the heart of the power of ritual!Visualize the 3 three times: three number "3's" on the orb. "My body is completely relaxed, becoming numb. I am losing awareness of physical sensation." Then repeat the visualization with three number "2's." "My body is asleep now. I feel no sensations, no discomfort. I will now visualize the "1's." When I am finished, I will have no awareness of physical sensations. My consciousness will be in my astral body." Then visualize the "1's" three times. "My body is now completely asleep. I have no awareness of physcial sensations. My consciousness is in my astral body." The benefit of training your mind this way is that you can greatly accelerate the process of transferring your awareness away from the physical body. Each time you practice this, the programming becomes a little bit stronger, after some time you will visualize the numbers and have your body asleep in two or three minutes.
Focus
Once you are in this state try to clear your mind by focusing on your breath, or the tip of your tongue, or any one thing. The key is to remain conscious while your body is asleep. Naturally, all sorts of thoughts pull you from the focus, but you can return as soon as you notice you've strayed to your concentration on one thing. Your obe's can often occur after a period of focus when your mind has drifted and has been on the verge of sleep. This is when you have awakened to find yourself either out of the body or when the "surges" have come on. You will often doze off when beginning practice, but take it up again when you are awake by focusing your attention and trying to remain conscious while your body sleeps.

The closest I have came to an OBE has been because of my lucky lucid dream that I had. I haven't been able to feel many vibrations when I attempt it normally. When I try to do it at night I sometimes feel itches all over my body in random places which keeps me distracted. I meditate for like 30 minutes and all I feel is my body feeling heavy and no vibrations at all. Only way I see myself OBEing is if I have a lucid dream. How can I relax my body and OBE without lucid dreams.

I've had many dreams but I keep forgetting to do dream recollection in the morning. I have stopped for a few days now and want to start again but sometimes it's hard. I set the alarm clock 30 minutes before the time I get up for school to do dream recollection. Sometimes I wake up and go back to sleep and do not even attempt to dream recollect. Hopefully I can start again.

I'm probably one of the few 15 year olds trying to AP. I'm the only one who knows about it in my family and want to keep it that way.
I've done several excersises for lucid dreams. I tell myself regulary everday "Am I Dreaming" which helps induce lucid dreams because your subconcious gets used to asking the question and might do so in a dream. Not much to type today...

Closest OBE!
Was Amazing last night.... Yesterday I kept telling my self I will have an AP. I couldn't go to sleep and was still trying to go to sleep at 2:00 AM. I went to sleep at around 2:30 AM. I had a dream at around 3:00 AM and it became a little lucid. When I became lucid I started to think about AP. I tried to AP and was amazed! I felt like I was being sucked out of my body! I heard a rumbling noice (kinda like an avalanche) I knew I was going to AP. But then I stopped because I did not want to AP in the dark. It was an amazing feeling and I felt like my astral body was being split from my physical body. Now i'm mad because I could of APed but I wanted my first time to be during daylight. Im amazed at how easy it is to project during a lucid dream. Is it really this easy to project during a lucid dream? Next time should I project during a lucid dream? I woke up at around 6:30 AM and tried to relax my physical body and attempt to project again. But nothing happend for 30 minutes. Im amazed at how easy it is to project during a lucid dream and am trying to induce a lucid dream for tonight with the lights on.
