(Part 2) Top products from r/AstralProjection

I totally understand!! Honestly, I went through the same feelings while learning this stuff too. There came a point where I sat myself down and was like look - if I continue to believe what I’ve always believed, the world stays small and known. Imagine telling someone back in the 15th century that cars existed - no need to walk or ride a horse to travel. They wouldn’t have believed you, but it’s true - cars exist. I took the same approach to learning - a conscious decision to accept that there’s so much I took for fact, that actually isn’t known, just assumed.

For example, Darwin’s theory - he said himself, when presenting the theory, that he wasn’t actually sure that survival of the fittest was natural law, but theorized that it was possible and likely. Possible and likely, but NOT fact.

(I don’t remember where I originally read this, but here’s a great read from Quora: https://www.quora.com/Was-Charles-Darwin-100-sure-that-his-evolution-theory-is-right-and-without-single-doubt)

Scientists have been studying nature, and guess what - survival of the fittest is not The Law of Nature. There are endless examples of collaboration, support, exchange in nature - it’s about giving and taking, for the benefit of all.

As a society, however, we took Darwin’s theory and ran with it, and it’s literally baked into the fiber of our fabric. Capitalism, hierarchical structure, large corporations consuming small businesses, etc etc etc.

What would society look like if we built our structures on the basis of sharing, caring for each other, pursuing the highest good of all?

All of that to say, when you allow yourself to be open, to think, to consider different approaches, you achieve different outcomes.

When you close yourself off, assume you have “the answer”, act reactively, unconsciously, then you achieve the same outcome.

I just want different! For me, life is about growing, stretching, learning, getting my mind blown over and over and over, adjusting and adapting, constantly. And ITS FUN!

Regarding the whole life after death/soul separate from body concept, I was thrown into it via Dolores Cannon. If you like reading books, buy and read Between Death and Life: Conversations with a Spirit (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1940265002). If you prefer watching videos:

She’s incredibly close to “the answer”, but I think since she was practicing, some things have changed - like the emotional evolution of the greys, nothing is static.

Another great book: The Gaia Project by Hwee-Yong Jiang (https://m.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-gaia-project-hwee-yong-jang/1123431981)

And another: The Complete Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0399153292)


In any case, all of us reach a point where we can’t be told “the answer”. Someone can tell us something close to it, but ultimately, you can only truly truly believe what you’ve searched and found to be true. That’s literally what belief is, and in its truest form, it cannot be forced. I think that’s the beautiful thing about exploration, and the great news is, if you consciously stay open to new information and actually seek, you absolutely will find and find and find until you choose to close down or stop.

If you start with fear you will always have fear. So work on reducing your fear and increasing your confidence. You can view it as an entertaining distraction. Or you can view it as a means of exploring consciousness and spirituality. Ultimately there is nothing that can harm you. You can get the crap scared out of you. But if you don't overcome the fear you'll never have the good experiences.

Ignore everything you ever "learned" from horror movies. This is not Nightmare on Elm Street or Dreamscape. I don't remember hearing anyone mention fear when attempting from within a lucid dream. And the only "freaky" part is when you're in transition when you are attempting the direct method (from laying down and going directly into AP by passing through the vibrational state. It's easy to get a feeling of fear just before you leave the body with this method, kind of like the fear of jumping off a high point, aka vertigo. But that's the main fear in the learning process. And it's much easier to wake up than it is to stay in the experience so don't even worry about it.

If you haven't already read it start here: Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming. You are already able to lucid dream but this will increase your knowledge of how it works so you can do it more purposefully and apply it to AP.

Also, keep a dream journal. This helps with increasing your recall. Just put the date and write down what your dream was. Start writing as soon as you wake up. It only takes two minutes. But it's good to keep your journal or notebook and pen by your bed. You can also use it to write down what techniques you are trying and your interpretation of the steps in the technique. Always try to reduce each technique to its core steps. Easier to remember that way. And when you read a book and want to remember something it recommended, write that in your journal too.

If you've never journaled before keep it as simple as possible. Bullet Journal, like bullet points, short and to the point, is a great way to get started if you have always wanted a good system for keeping a calendar and to-do list and it's also great for a dream, LP, AP log. You can use your daily notes to help keep track of your progress. Don't worry if you forget about it or don't feel like writing. It's always there for you when you need it. Good luck!

They're related. Check out the eight jhana states. I recommend this book Beyond Mindfulness in Plain English: An Introductory guide to Deeper States of Meditation.

Astral projection is exploration of different consciousness states. They don't have to be visual, auditory, or tactile experiences. The jhana states are more or less "feelings" but not in the perceiving sense. From personal experiences, you may feel boundless happiness, joy, peace, and love and you don't know why. You feel like you understand stuff more and you don't know why. Previously strong desires disappear and you don't know why. There is an effect without a cause.

If you ever attempt astral projection before, this state is the void or blackness at the start of your very first astral projection. It's right after the vibrational state. For me, it also occur during the transitions between consciousness states. All I know is that something happened but I can't remember it in the sense of conceptualizing it.

Happy to expand here. We typically will use Sigils of Jupiter via (edit: skip this link and go to next one)ceremonial magick (this book used to be available free online via PDF but now it's gone so this is the only link I can find) to get there.

Edit: Here's a free version, but I am not sure it contains all the original sigils, and it appears to be some "2003" interpretation of this book. YMMV.

Double edit: I am searching on G to find a better version of Goetia for those interested. I shared it previously and I guess hugged it to death.

Triple edit: Use the previous PDF link. It's fair enough but is missing some sigils. Save it as these PDFs are often wiped clean from the Web.

Here's a link to her free books: https://www.outofbodytravel.org/out-of-body-books.html

I can't say I agree with everything she writes, but there's a link to her stuff. I hope that helps.

I think the book I liked best was "We are all shadows", partly because she took like 60 pages from the book Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines and made that more readily available. I was able to learn a lot.

This is from a book that I obtained a couple of years ago that started my AP journey. I have yet to have a successful projection but that doesn't mean that it can't help anyone else in their experiences. The book is called "The Miracle of New Avatar Power" and if anyone would like any help obtaining a copy please feel free to pm me.

Hey dude, you've just described textbook sleep paralysis symptoms, which as you say share a lot of overlap with OBE exit sensations. It might feel strange but this is a normal experience and you are not in any danger, and if you so wished this could be used as a launch pad for lucid dreams and projections. This might be worth a read...Ryan Hurd is a dream and consciousness researcher who also experiences frequent bouts of sleep paralysis himself so his perspective on it is interesting.

http://dreamstudies.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Sleep-Paralysis-Report-2010.pdf

His book "Sleep Paralysis: A Guide to Hypnagogic Visions and Visitors of the Night" may be worth a read.

My favorite book on OBE/AP, Explorations in Consciousness, talks about the void quite often. This is a really great book in general on the subject and provides a lot of good perspective. I read it long after discovering OBEs but found it very good for inspiration and brain-material on the subject!

Hitler was a huge occultist. After WWII and subsequent wars, intelligence spread to governments like Russia, Brazil, the US, etc. They would begin to incorporate astral travel, occult intelligence, and psychotropic drugs into intelligence operations. This has been happening for at lesst half a century for almost every world power. Russia was more open publicly about their scientific research, while countries like the US kept them secret under operations like MK-ULTRA, and STARGATE. I've only encountered barriers and other travelers as a child (haven't AP'd since then.) And if you are not prepared in energetically protecting yourself etc. There is no question that there are occult intelligence operations in place currently around the world.

This is a deep question, which I've asked and been down a very deep rabbit hole.
If you are serious about knowing the answer you are in for an interesting time.
It turns out you are shifting parallel universes all the time anyway in waking life.
A good intro to this is information from "higher levels" that understand the nature of reality.
BASHAR is a good starting point, but they have removed all the good videos where he explains parallel worlds from you tube, only a few are left.
Here is one: https://www.qwaym.com/bashar-illuminati-parallel-earths-2/

The other main source is "Seth" channelled by Jane Roberts.
This goes right into immense detail about parallel worlds, science is barely catching up to this, so it's essential reading.
Be warned though, most can't handle the "deepness" of parallel worlds and dense text by Seth.
The book "Seth Speaks" by Jane Roberts goes into high detail about parallel worlds.
Although if you want the whole picture it's best to read the earlier Seth books.

Yes but, I would really look into the Hemi-sync binaural beats by Robert Monroe. There was a link somewhere on here once. I am not sure if its still up and running but it allowed you to stream it.

If you want the actual file, Torrents are going to be your best shot without paying the $350-732 dollars.

Incase youre interested in purchasing out right. Im down for supporting a cause but to charge a min of 350 bucks to try and astral project is a bit much for me. Ill stick to my torrent files and no I dont have the link to where I found mine. Its been over a year since I downloaded them.

I would need to ask my Chinese friends =) But I imagine it mostly comes from the book, since this illustration was (I think) produced for the book when it was published in the modern age (though I believe the original is thought to be from the 1500s.)

Good video by Jurgen Ziewe. I also recommend reading the corresponding book:

All planes differ due to your vibration state/level of awareness. I think I personally have only been to the lower planes(Near Earth/Near Time.) Generally everything looks like you would expect but some things are abnormal.

In 2007 I had an experience, felt the vibrations, relaxed, rolled out of my body and drifted straight towards and out the window landing two stories down into the grass(My bedroom was'nt in a multi-story home). To me, the grass was vivid and green. It was dark where my body was but in this reality plane , it was dayish, foggy. I could feel the moisture on the blades of grass touching my hands, I could smell the grass. I looked up, and all the houses around my neighborhood had 20 foot chain link fences around the entirety of the property. I stated to myself "odd.." I took off up into the air, and all of surrounding houses blocks away had the same. At the end of each street there were these large machines, they were operating though made no noise. I went to inspect one but before I got to close i was whisked back to my body.

I concur with danwasinjapan, read Robert Monroe's books. If you want a more scientific look on Astrial travel, etc check out "my Big Toe" by Thomas Campbell. https://www.amazon.com/My-Big-TOE-Complete-Trilogy/dp/0972509461

I have an older version of The Llewellyn Practical Guide to Astral Projection. It seems to work well for me.

Bummer

They're here, but they're expensive. I watched a bit of them about 15 years ago; my buddy had the collection.
