The New approach
It’s been about a month now and I have had some success projecting using a purely affirmation based approach. With this approach I have been keeping all of my focus on one or two affirmations up to the edge of falling asleep while putting my body into a deep state of relaxation.
This old approach works and I have learned a lot from it, which is why I have decided to start using a slightly different approach.
While on the way home from work yesterday a thought began to take shape in my head. It seems like my old approach and every other documented approach has one thing in common, and that is to stay alert on the border of sleep while focusing your entire attention on something / anything without falling asleep. This seems to be key for attaining an out of body experience. It doesn’t matter what the attention is focused on as long as you stay alert while relaxing on the border of sleep.
The beauty of this is that one approach mentioned in William Buhlman’s books “Adventures Beyond the Body” is to use visualization as the focus point. He would inspect several objects in his waking life and then was able to visualize the objects in great detail while relaxing and approaching the border state.
I have been an artist in the past and then most importantly over the last 2 years I have been programming with complex data structures and SQL. I have learned to visualize huge complex sets of data in my head and manipulate this data with pure thought without seeing anything on the computer screen. I want to use this power of visualization that I have developed and hold my focus on a set of objects while on the border or sleep.
In conclusion I think that this new approach will yield better results. I will continue to use my affirmations up to the point that I start seeing random thoughts enter my consciousness and then I will shift my focus to visualizing my cubical at work.
