The Malleable Light

I had a very interesting experience with “Hemi-Sync – Journeys Out of Body – Condition C” last  night. I read about 20 pages of Monroe’s – Far Journeys” and then at about 11:30 PM I got sleepy and I started off my night listening to the complete “Hemi-Sync – Gateway Experience – Introduction to Focus 10″ track. This track completed and I started listening to “Condition C’, but I was too sleepy and I fell asleep.

Before I go any further I want to share with everyone the difference between these tracks in the “Hemi-Sync – Journeys Out of Body” collection. This is straight from the guidance that comes with it.

The Borderland Sleep State, Condition A.

“Lie down, preferably when you are tired and sleepy, As you become relaxed and start to drift off into sleep, hold your mental attention on something, anything, with your eyes closed. Once you ca hold the borderland sleep state indefinitely without falling asleep, you have passed the first stage. You will know you are successful when you become bored and expect something more to happen.”

Bob, described Condition A as “the ability to hold calmly in the borderland sleep state, indefinitely, with your mind on an exclusive thought.” Continue using the Condition A support exercise until you have achieved this state.

The Condition A support exercise consists of Hemi-Sync audio-guidance designed to help you stay awake and alert. At 20-minute intervals, an extended reminder sequence refereed to as the “beacon guidepost” is repeated with additional reinforcing Attention/Concentration frequencies, and a short verbal reminder in Bob’s voice, “remember your purpose….”

This exercise and all that follow are one hour in length and can be repeated automatically, if desired, by setting the appropriate controls on your CD player (refer to your owner’s manual).

Condition B

Similar to Condition A, but with the concentration eliminated. “Do not think of anything, but remain poised between wakefulness and sleep. Simply look through your closed eyes at the blackness ahead of you. Do nothing more. You have accomplished Condition B when you are able to lie indefinitely after the impressions have faded away, with no nervousness, and seeing nothing but blackness.”

The Condition B support exercise is identical to the Condition A exercise, without the repeating reminder sequences. As you begin to acclimate to this borderland sleep state, you will no longer need the reminders and they will simply get in the way.

Condition C

“Condition C is a systematic deepening of consciousness while in the B state. This is approached by carefully letting go of your rigid hold on the borderland sleep edge and drifting deeper, little by little, during each exercise.

“Condition C is characterized by the shutting down of various sensory mechanism inputs, The sense of touch apparently goes first. You seem to have no feeling in any part of your body. Smell and taste soon follow, The auditory signals are next, and the last to fade out is vision.”

The Condition C support exercise, as in the previous two exercises, uses “Hemi-Sync audio-guidance designed to help you stay awake and alert. At 20-minute intervals, the Attention/Focus/Concentration signals re replaced by “Hemi-Sync signals designed to allow you to drift deeper and deeper into the borderland sleep state and reinforcing signals conducive to the out-of-body experience and lucid dreaming.

Condition D

“Condition D is the achievement of C when one is fully rested and refreshed, rather than tired and sleepy, at the beginning of the exercise.”

The final exercise in the series switches to “Hemi-Sync audio-guidance frequencies designed to help you move from a fully awake and refreshed state, into a state of deep relaxation. At 20-minute intervals, additional reinforcing signals are added conductive to the out-of-body experience and lucid dreaming.

Like clockwork I woke up at 4 AM for my bathroom run. I seriously think I have reprogrammed myself to automatically wake up at 4 AM because it happens every night now. When I woke up the headphones were still on and had been looping “Condition C” for the last 4 hours.

I went back to bed and fell asleep listening to ”Condition C” again. I am not sure how much time passed but I ended up in a dream. I was in an unfamiliar room with a bunch of people I seemed to know in this dream, however in waking life, looking back on it, I don’t think I know any of them.

The room I was in was like a huge sleeping area with several beds however it also resembled/span a classroom. I was at the front of the room where the chalkboard would be with someone that I knew in my dream (but not in real life), and I was trying to get some sleep. There were about 40 other men and women in the classroom part of the room partying there heads off. There were several long folding tables lined up and they were running back and forth between them.

This all seemed quite innocent at first and I was getting annoyed by it all because I was trying to sleep. Then for some reason this took a turn for the wild side and people started taking off their clothes. I looked at the person I was with at the front of the room and we both seemed a bit shocked by it all.

I got the idea that I was considered the prudent type by everyone in the class including this person that was with me at the front.

The wild party continued to spiral out of control and people ended up having sex and I then realized that I wasn’t going to get any sleep and then for some reason every one’s focus turned to me. I remember being picked up by several of the people and thrown right into the midst of this orgy. This is when I realized that the situation I was in was to bizarre to be real and instantly I became lucid in my dream.

I guess I didn’t feel worthy or I chickened out, but I willed myself away from this sex party and thought about exiting my body. I was immediately back in my bed in the vibrational state. I think I had already transitioned to by astral body because I could see right through my eyelids and was looking at the wall beside me in my bedroom. I guess I chose the wrong exit strategy because I tried to raise my upper body up with my arms, kind of like a push up,and when I did, I ended up snapping back into my body. I woke up and opened my eyes and was facing the wall. How annoying.

What have I learned from all of this? I have learned that I can transition from a dream to a lucid dream and then from a lucid dream to out of body. I have also learned that I chicken out when thrown into a huge group of naked women in a dream. LOL.

Last night I was very tired and didn’t feel like trying to project, however I didn’t want to waste a night so I got the Gateway Experience tracks out loaded up “Wave I – Discovery 2 – Introduction to Focus 10.mp3″. My goal was to practice achieving “Focus 10″.

I am the “oncall” guy this week at work so I am required to carry a Blackberry with me everywhere I go and must respond to any pages that come in. These pages alert me when customers run into issues with our hosted web applications or if one of my monitors indicate a server issue. These pages can come in at any hour of the day or night.

I become relaxed around 11 PM and put on the “Introduction to Focus 10″ track and started visualizing what Monroe was saying. I would like to point out that I always start off my sleep with the Gateway Affirmation because I “firmly” believe that thoughts become reality. The affirmation goes like this:

I am more than my physical body. Because I am more than physical matter, I can perceive that which is greater than the physical world. Therefore, in these exercises, I deeply desire to Expand, to Experience, to Know, to Understand, to Control to Use such greater energies and energy systems as may be beneficial and constructive to me and to those who follow me. Also, during these exercises, I deeply desire the help and cooperation, the assistance, the understanding of those individuals whose wisdom, development and experience are equal to or greater than my own. I ask their guidance and protection from any influence or any source that might provide me with less than my stated desires.

I got to the section that takes you through relaxing each part of the body and then had a vision of floating over this endless plane of three dimensional cubes lining the ground below me.  This quickly disappeared and I was staring at the blackness again. Suddenly had the feeling that my body was swaying from side to side and that I was floating. I felt a surge of energy (vibration around my heart) and then without warning it was all shot down by the blackberry pager which sounded and pulled me completely back to waking life.

I got up out of bed and noticed that it was one of my monitors that I put in place. It was nothing critical so I went back to bed and put on “Hemi-Sync – Journeys Out of Body – Condition A”. I figured I was done with “Focus 10″ for the night and that I would just try for normal sleep. I wasn’t trying hold myself in the borderland sleep state by listening to “Condition A”, I just thought that something might happen involuntarily if I had it on.

20 minutes later heavy vibrations started which were interrupted by Monroe’s voice saying “Remember your purpose”. I was awake again at this point, completely out of the trance. I laid in bed for another 20 minutes and heavy vibrations started and once again were interrupted by Monroe’s voice saying “Remember your purpose”.  I finally fell asleep somewhere between one to 19 minutes later.

I woke up at 4 AM and had a strange swimming sensation going on in my head. The headphones  had fallen off at some point. I went for a bathroom run and then came back to bed and put “Condition A”.  I started staring at the blackness and 15 minutes later I felt like there was something with me, a presence in the blackness. I don’t think I was out of body but I asked the question “Am I doing things right?” and I clearly got a reply back, “You are doing things perfect”. I took the headphones off and fell asleep.

So what does all of this mean? I really have no idea. I think that I should move on to the “Condition B” track that doesn’t have Monroe’s reminders.

I am pretty sure I would have reached the out of body state if it had not been for ”Remember your purpose”.

I can’t do anything about the Blackberry alerts that wake me up, but it would have been interesting to have seen it progress further.

The reply that I got to my question seems to indicate that I am on the right track. We will see .

I wrote a small blog entry 5 days ago about “Hemi-Sync Support for Journeys Out of the Body”, so I am taking the time to give a small progress report, especially after last night.

I went to bed around 10 PM last night and read 30 pages of Robert Monroe’s book “Far Journeys”. I am actually reading his books in reverse, I started with reading “Ultimate Journey”. It was lights out at 10:30 PM and I put my headphones on and began listening to “Condition A”.

I spent the first 15 minutes staring at blackness and repeating affirmations. Then some unusual events started unfolding before my closed eyes. I first started seeing the pulsating colors that I mentioned in a previous blog entry. This resembles the colors that appear on an old TV if you stick a magnet on it, the colors start out by covering my complete field of vision and then move inward to single point and then disappear. I would like to mention that there is a pattern here in that when I see these colors, I am right on the edge of stranger things.

The colors lasted for about 5 minutes and then I started seeing very vivid mental imagery. First I saw a coiled rope in perfect clarity laying on the ground and then it vanished quickly. Next, I felt that I was floating in a forest at twilight, I was 20 feet above the tree tops and the trees, they were all bare and displayed perfect white branches. There were thousands of these trees. The sky was a beautiful dark blue color and the stars were out. This vision quickly disappear. Next I heard a voice very clearly say “There it is!”

The voices and imagery stopped after about a minute “I think” and I sat up in bed. When I sat up, I noticed that something felt wrong, I didn’t feel my body’s weight or sense of touch. I suddenly realized that I was out of my body and instantly was snapped back and sat up again and noticed I still had the headphones on listening to “Condition A”.

I will continue using this product as it seems to induce the OB state very effectively.

I will not spend very much time on this post because I don’t remember much, however I feel obligated to write this down to reinforce it. I was dreaming last night and had another event in my dream that I feel was my subconscious communicating with me, trying to bring me to lucidity.

This is very hazy and I don’t remember much, but I remember seeing this guy sitting on the edge of an in ground pool and he was muttering something about a failed OBE. He for some reason felt that he had tried to have an OBE but it did not happen so he was sitting by this pool pissed off about it. There was something that happened and I can’t remember what, but the guy realized that he was indeed out of body and that he was detached from his body sitting by the pool. He then stood up and walked off into the water, turned to his right and walked through the side of the pool wall.

I should have noticed that my subconscious was trying to make me lucid but once again I let the opportunity slip away. Every day I get closer and closer to my goal. It will not be long./div
