The Malleable Light

I didn’t see very much activity this month in the realm of Astral Projection and I’m not sure why. Once again this is not a surprise, I have only been experimenting with Astral Projection for about 5 months. Things that I suspect contributed to the dry spell include too much work at my day job, a two year old that wakes me up constantly and lack of a good strategy.

I am not sure what I can do about work other than to meditate more and learn to put it out of my mind. I will continue working with my 3 year old daughter and hopefully she will start sleeping in her room all night soon and then lastly I want to focus exclusively on the techniques that I am learning in Astral Dynamics going forward.

I am 140 pages into the book and Robert Bruce seems to have intimate knowledge of the underlying science behind Astral Projection and of the energy bodies and chakras. I will not know for sure if it’s 100% legit until I have more experience with the system, but it seems reasonable and logical at this point.

I am currently in the early stages of MBA and T.I. which Bruce suggests is the foundation for all of the techniques throughout his book. MBA (Mobile Body Awareness) deals with ones ability to focus body awareness on specific parts of the body while T.I. (Tactile Imaging) is the active use of body awareness to directly stimulate and manipulate the substance of the energy body.

I will continue to meditate and try for OBEs however my goal at this point is to learn Bruce’s system inside and out and use it exclusively for awhile and then possibly expand on it in the future. I will continue to post updates of my progress through the Astral Dynamics system.

I am grateful for my successful out of body experiences achieved while using many different techniques learned from literature by Robert Monroe, William Buhlman, Vessen Hopkins, Nicholas Newport and many others. This has proven to me that it’s possible and given me the motivation to become more precise and methodical in my approach.

To everyone reading my blog, thanks for reading and good luck on your journey, whatever that journey may be.

I really don’t search for these things, they just show up most of the time. The same friend that subtly mentioned astral projection to me over a ten year span suggested that I watch a movie called Chapel of Sacred Mirrors.

The movie is about the progress of the soul as depicted through the art work and narration of an artist by the name of Alex Grey who I had remarkably never heard of.

He starts out by reviewing the human anatomy and then moves on to energy systems and how they merge together with the physical. He explores first incarnation, birth, life, spiritual enlightenment, death, the place after we die before we are reborn and then reincarnation.

Below I have selected a painting from the later part of the movie. His painting here describes a point in our progress where we see past our constricted egos and consider not only our collective consciousness on this planet but our cosmic consciousness and interconnectedness with the vast galactic web.

This movie is a great example of how the universe can speak through the physical when a person has a passion for what they do and they open their mind to their inner self. The artwork is breathtaking, inspiring and insightful. This is another movie that I highly recommend.

You will find a link to the DVD under my recommended products or the movie can be watched on google by clicking here.

Last night I got into bed around 11:00 PM. I read a chapter of Monroe’s book “Journeys out of the Body”, laid down and relaxed, put on my head phones and started listening to the Tibetan Chakra Meditation tracks. I started repeating the mantra “I am now out of body” in my head and fell asleep after about five iterations. I woke up at about 6:00 AM and noticed that the headphones had fallen off at some point during the night. I quickly fell back to sleep while running the same mantra through my head.

I woke up at 7:50 AM and noticed that my daughter was in the bed with me and my wife. I was doubtful that I would be able pull off an OBE because she moves around a lot. I decided to give it a try anyway so I closed my eyes and began the same mantra, “I am now out of body” over and over while I tried not to move. Suddenly I began to feel myself spinning at a rapid rate on an axis that ran through my head and out the bottom of my feet. Ten seconds later light vibrations hit me and I instinctively just relaxed more and told myself “enjoy the ride”. The vibrations then got more intense and seemed to last about 2 minutes and then faded.

The vibrations completely disappeared and I noticed that I was floating in blackness with partial awareness. I felt like I was in a half dream state. I began running the words “clarity and awareness now” over and over and after about 5 iterations I actually started saying it out loud. I continued to say this and I could hear myself very clearly asking for clarity and awareness and thought I was going to wake up my wife and daughter. Suddenly the blackness slowly started fading and I actually felt my analytical mind attach to my state of consciousness and I am standing in a field and in front of me was a huge bright tree. Everything was so vivid and clear I felt the urge to fly and explore. I flew higher and higher and I began to think about the ocean and the landscape turned into ocean. I was soaring and I remembered that in life I am scared of heights, so I told myself to go higher and higher so that I could face my fear. I arrived at what I perceived as to be 5000 feet over the water and I felt some fear surge though me, but I was able to push it away and climb higher.

While I was flying and enjoying complete freedom I remembered that I told my friend from work that I would visit him next time I was out of body. He is skeptical and I wanted to give him some validation. I started imagining his face but I must not have asked the universe right because I asked to see him over and over and nothing but a very slight change in speed occurred.

I lost interest and reduced altitude and was very close to the surface of the water. The ocean then morphed into a wide river and I continued to skim across it about a foot from the surface. I heard a voice that said I had not experienced everything and then suddenly felt myself begin to go under the water. I wasn’t ready and clearly noticed a change in awareness.

I woke, sat up and looked at the alarm clock and noticed that it displayed 9 AM. The first thing that entered my mind was that I needed to write down what had happened. Our bedroom is upstairs and my laptop is downstairs so I got out of bed and headed towards my laptop. I noticed that while walking down the hall that leads to the the stairs that everything was reversed. When I got to the stairs they were not right either. They looked like my stairs, but the distance that each step extended was inconsistent. Some extended about 5 inches out and others one foot. I “walked” down stairs and when I got there I noticed that the TV was gone and everything was packed up in boxes. My wife came down behind me and I felt a sense of fear come over me as if I had forgotten that we had packed and were in the process of moving. I began to panic because the events were so real and I felt as though I was losing my mind. Once again I felt a change in my awareness.

I woke up again. I noticed that the right side of my face was not working. I could not see out of my right eye. The right side of my head was literally inside of the pillow. I got up and looked in the mirror and blood was running down my moustache. The blood was dried to the hairs. I looked at my face in the mirror for about a minute in confusion and tried to understand where this blood had come from. I felt another change in my awareness.

I woke up and looked at the clock and it said 8:01 AM. I immediately got out of bed and headed for my laptop to write this entry. While I was walking down the stairs I was seriously asking myself if waking life was real or if I was out of body.

In conclusion I don’t recall exiting my body this time, the move from physical to nonphysical seemed more like a shift of awareness. Perhaps the intense spinning threw me a distance from my body. I have no idea. It seems that I started out in a half conscious out of body state and then became fully conscious. I then moved into a lucid dream state awareness and had a false awakening. I then had another out of body experience and another false awakening. Finally I moved back to an out of body awareness one final time and then woke up for real. I am definitely back on track.

One last thing that’s worth noting is that I was using my Performer 2400 chi generator. I had it set at a lucid dream frequency of 0.5 HZ with the trend set to the “The Gateway Affirmation” which goes like:

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, 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, I deeply desire the help and cooperation, the assistance, the understanding of those individuals whose wisdom, development and experience are equal 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.

It’s been an interesting week. I began a journey to remove all of the mercury from my mouth at the end of last year when I realized, while driving down the road, that my migraines started roughly when I got 7 amalgam fillings at the end of 2007. Last Wednesday the last of the metal was removed when I got the bottom two wisdom teeth extracted. I can’t say that the migraines were caused by the metal but I know that I am better off without the mercury poisoning.

Needless to say, the last week has been a week of pure pain without any OBEs  and this morning didn’t start off any differently. I have been taking 4 darvocet every 4 hours and last night I decided that I would not take my 2 AM dose and then woke up at 5 AM with a ringing in my head and I could feel my heart beating in my jaw. I quickly took the pills and fell back asleep and woke up at 8 AM for my President’s Day shift.

The day was busy and slightly stressful but I kept popping pain pills and made it to 5 PM. I realized at about 4:30 PM that I had scheduled a Reiki session with Tianna at Awakening Transformation here in Austin. She is a Certified Clinical Hypnotist, Reiki Master Teacher (Usui Lineage) and an Ordained Minister.

I wasn’t going to be able to drive myself to the session because I was highly intoxicated so I called my Wife and “God bless her heart” she rushed home from work and almost ran out of gas getting me there. I think that she needs a Reiki session herself now.

When we got there it was about 5:45 PM and was raining lightly and darkness was approaching. I had only printed out Tianna’s building number and I was not able to locate where in the building she was. My wife dropped me off and left to go find a filling station and I stayed and started looking for Tianna.

I walked around in the rain for 15 minutes in the Market District and had no luck finding her. I knew that she was somewhere close but it really didn’t matter because close to me was literally 100 different apartments. I just stood under the awning for about 5 minutes and waiting on it to stop raining and then started walking down the sidewalk back to where my wife had dropped me off. The rain was very peaceful.

When I reached the spot that I was dropped off at my wife was still gone and then I heard someone yell me name. My wife had called Tianna and she was on one of the top floors of the building calling down to me. I made my way to her apartment with no more incident.

This session was very similar to my last session and I could feel a swirling energy in my head when she worked on it. There was one thing in particular that happened that was exactly the same in both sessions. There was a muscle twitch in my arm and in my leg during both sessions in the same spots. They were not mild twitches and were very distinct, almost like being stimulated by electricity.  She said that this happens often and may be energy pathways opening.

I felt calm afterward and I talked to Tianna for about 10 minutes. I asked her if she felt anything during the session and she did say that my 6th seemed to be very active, however my other  need some work. She speculated that maybe what seems to be negative may not be negative at all and may actually be an awakening of my inner self.

I think today’s session was very beneficial and I highly recommend Tianna.
