The Malleable Light

As my lack of posts shows, I do not strive to project like my husband, David, does. I have known of such experiences but never really had the curiosity that my other half has in the subject. Even if I did, I think my mom duties would keep me from really becoming fully engaged in striving for achieving going out of body. I am more in the frame of mind that “if it happens , it happens..If not then I won’t be disappointed”

This morning I was not intending to try to go out of body. It was the last thing on my mind. I was more concerned with how long my 4 year old was going to sleep and the laundry I was going to have to start once I got up from bed. I woke up with David’s alarm clock and drifted back to sleep for some time. I awoke again some 45 minutes later and laid in bed checking my email and surfing the net on my I-phone as my daughter slept next to me in her bed. David came into the room and said goodbye to me before he headed to work and I continued to surf the net. I grew bored and a bit sleepy so I laid my head back down and found a comfortable spot to drift off. I am 24 weeks pregnant with our first son and so I fell asleep to feeling his kicks and movements. As I drifted off to sleep, I had a feeling I was going into sleep paralysis because I got a very similar sensation of the inability to keep my eyelids open no matter how much I tried. Its very similar to the feeling of trying to keep your eyes open as anesthesia is beginning to take its effect before you go under for surgery. The only difference is that your mind stays awake and aware of what is going on where as when under anesthesia, you just black out for what seems like a second and then your awake again.

As I lay there, I began to realize I could feel my child’s movements fade away. He was still active but its as if they just became lighter and lighter as I began to feel the vibrations come over me. I thought to myself ” Oh I know what this is…I am not gonna chicken out like I did last time!” Last time being my other post from back in April of 2009.

As the vibrational state came over me, I said to myself “I am going out of body” and repeated that about three times. Suddenly I heard myself take a deep, deep, breath of air and as the air filled my lungs, I felt myself float up. It was as if my lungs being filled with air were acting as helium balloons lifting me up and out. Right at that time, I heard a voice very clearly say to me ” I see France”. I also heard a man’s voice but could not make out what he said. I did not understand what “I see France” meant so as I tried to gain better sight, the motherly part of me took over. I heard my daughter stir and move and then I switched to what I can only assume was dream mode. I dreamed my daughter sat up in bed and was talking to me…I knew I was dreaming and tried to gain control back of reality but failed. I struggled to wake up and began to wiggle my fingers to wake myself up. Just then, my son gave me a good kick as if to say ” Hey mom wake up!” and that did it. I was back in my body and fully awake, only to see that I had been right to assume I was in a dream state when I imagined my daughter awake and sitting up. She was still fast asleep in the same position she was when I had drifted off to sleep.

All in all, it was pretty interesting and I am glad I got a little bit further then I did last time. I was able to at least get up and out of my body even if it was just for a short few seconds to a minute. Maybe in another 10 months, I will get a bit closer. Then again, I will have a 6 month old so I will just be thankful to get a whole night’s sleep, projecting or no projecting!

Hi All, long time since logging in. I’ve been trying to get the time but busy doing other things..

Over January & February I found a substantial part of my dream memories were of an emotional nature. Dreams that were very symbolic, communicative and sometimes directly healing. In the past month and a half I’ve had about three experiences I wanted to report.

The first I considered an OBE. I woke due to my 10mth old and was awake with her for somewhere around 1-2hrs. Her mother woke and said “Why don’t you go back to bed?”.. My Mrs. has trouble going back to sleep if she gets woken but not I

So I trotted off to bed and thought I would meditate lying down to help me get back to sleep & because I felt like meditating

After a while (maybe 20-30mins) of Anapanna meditation I felt an indescript feeling that i could only relate as a familiar pre-OBE feeling. I then shifted focus to my body and there was a general feeling of something but definately no vibrations of any strength. I then went back to Anapanna as I had no intention of projecting. Before I knew it I was asleep and found myself in the downstairs of my house. Because this happened about two weeks ago much of the detail is gone from memory but I found myself suggesting to myself that I was having an OBE. I was talking to people telling them i was having an OBE. I remember this woman I was talking to was suggesting, “No, No. You’re not having an OBE you’re high on Marijuana”.. I use to smoke the stuff so was then a little unsure.. I KNEW absolutely I was in an altered state of reality and felt very light and free and thought “No, I’m not high I’m in an OBE”.. The theme downstairs was that it was my nextdoor neighbours birthday.. The interesting thing about this is after I woke I asked my Mrs. if she knew when the neighbours birthday was, she said “I know he’s a Pisces (sun sign) so it must be soon”. I saw him a day or two later and asked him and it turns out it’s in early March.. cool huh!! Much of the rest of the experience is in fragments except for a part where someone else was attempting to convince me I had been smoking marijuana”.. I was thinking “I sort of hope not”.. Then I felt what I was experiencing..and it was so much nicer than any marijuana high i have ever experienced (and thats heaps) I was convinced that I was OBE and while in OBE thought to myself “People wish they felt like I do now when they get high”.. then I wondered, “Is this what people are hoping they are going to be experiencing when getting high?”.. I wonder…

There was one time in this OBE that I considered shifting back to my body to prove to myself that i was OBE.. Just the mere thought of doing that produced a feeling in my astral body that made me aware that my physical body was indeed asleep in bed with strong vibes .. I knew I was OBE by this feeling and decided to stay.. I believe by going back to my body consciously I would have retained better memories but it was so nice to be out and i could feel i could sustain it so i played the staying out game

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

One other thing that happened was fairly unusual for me.. I had an alien come to me in what i describe as a vsion (while sleeping) and it said “We are coming”… This alien was reptilian to look at (though never seen one before, not even a drawing) with green skin and scales. It (he) was short.. Maybe 5′2″ tall and had very broad shoulders very little neck… It’s manner was urgent though friendly, it seemed like it was warning me so I’m not so surprised or fearful when they come. It felt like it (they) almost HAD to come to Earth,like they (it) had very little choice… Although I believe Alien beings most very likely exist (due mainly to the masive expanse of galaxy & universe out there) – I have never spent much time thinking that they would be coming to Earth and even less time that they would come in a form/manner that would allow them the be visible to us… Over December/January I was reading an e-book by Tayesin from Astral Pulse which speaks a lot about UFO’s Aliens and the like, so not sure how much this influenced this encounter.. Maybe it just allowed me to open up to allow this being to contact me, but who knows?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

The last experience I consider a very Lucid Dream.. the main theme in it was me practicing my flying skills.. Couple of interesting things to note here.. 1. Spent most of this flying lesson in the car driving position (like sitting in the car seat).. It was quite fun

More importantly I note that 2. This experience (considered an LD) was much more colourful and vivid than the experience I called an OBE earlier.. The main differences & why I categorise them differently is I had much more awareness in the OBE.. In the OBE I believed that I was OBE.. I’m sure from the feeling I got, if I did try to move back to my physical body I am SURE I would have ended up in my bed with vibes all over my body.. In the LD I felt like I was dreaming.. I was aware I was dreaming but had no awareness of my physical body or any desire to go back and no desire to do anything else but fly…

I hope something here may help someone in some way,

Thank you,

Dean K

I have not been sticking to my commitment to write a bi-weekly progress report so I will just do a monthly report instead, unless I am seeing a lot of activity and then I will just let the posts speak for themselves. I continuously try to consciously induce the out of body state but as I have stated so many times in the past, being busy in waking life puts a damper on any real progress. I have been meditating every night using a modified Shamatha meditation technique where I am actually laying down rather than sitting up and I have been reading Astral Dynamics and doing energy work.

The meditation is interesting but I think that laying down while meditating is probably not the best idea because I end up drifting off to sleep. I have been experiencing rushing noises right before drifting off that can only be described as the noise you might hear on a radio when the dial is between stations. I posted a video Rushing Noises / Sleep Paralysis Sounds in the video section that somewhat represents what I hear only mine are much shorter in quick bursts that fade in and out.

Astral Dynamics is great and is the best OBE guide available in my opinion. I have finally decided to just read the book rather than stopping when I don’t feel like I and progressing with certain exercises. The book states that one must understand tactile imaging and be able put it into practice to get the most out of the book however if I never read the book because I pause at every hurdle then I know for sure I will not get anything out of the book . I was able to get my hands on a wonderful Astral Dynamics overview Robert Bruce On OBEs thanks to ubikmonroe. I highly recommend this book and even if you don’t buy in to any of this, it’s a trip and worth the read.

That’s all for now. Thanks for dropping in and reading and I wish you the best of luck in your spiritual endeavors.

I have not seen any lucid dreams or out of body experiences to speak of but I have missed a few signals in my dreams that I believe was my consciousness trying to bring me into lucidity.

Last night there were two missed signals, both of which were very obvious and should have snapped me into lucidity. The first signal was that my daughter had cancer in my dream and my wife told me that she was diagnosed months ago and forgot to tell me. It’s pretty obvious while sitting here typing this that my wife would not forget to tell me my if my daughter had cancer. The other signal was that I was standing in my childhood house looking out the back window watching it snow outside. I remember thinking in the dream that it was odd because it’s been 106 degrees for months in Texas. I should have realized I was dreaming when my own thoughts made reference to the impossibility of snow at this time of year and then the fact that I don’t live anywhere near my childhood home and haven’t for years should have been a clue.

The missed signals really do give me hope. I know that my consciousness is trying to awake however my lack of progress in lucid dreaming and out of body experiences can be directly contributed to too much work and programming distractions lately. I will continue to add video content to this blog, read metaphysical material and question my reality at all times and hopefully I will start seeing some changes.

It’s approaching the beginning of September and it’s time for my bi-monthly progress report on lucid dreaming and astral projection attempts. I have not had any new experiences lately but there is a new lucid dreaming approach that I would like to try. It’s something I thought of today at “Mighty Fine Burgers” here is Austin while I was consuming a years worth of bad cow karma.

I have noticed there are two things common in dreams. Some dreams reoccur regularly and that things I think about mostly during the day (especially with high emotion) show up in my dreams. Taking these two things into consideration I think I may have found an easy gateway into lucidity which usually transitions into astral projection.

I am going to start writing down these reoccurring dreams and then begin to think about them several times throughout each day. While thinking about them I am going to imagine that I am becoming lucid in the dreams. In addition to just thinking about or conceptualizing becoming lucid I am going to try to actually experience it as if it is happening in my mind. I think that by doing this the reoccurring dream will merge with my waking thoughts of lucidity and I will become lucid within my dream. Once this happens I will will myself out of body and I should find myself lying in bed in the vibrational state.

Regarding “Mighty Fine Burgers”, they are not mighty fine and will probably cause you to die prematurely of a massive coronary if you eat them all the time.

I decided today that I want to work astral projection attempts back into my routine regardless of all of the other projects going on in my life at the moment.

I have mentioned this many times before, which is the fact that consciously achieving astral projection (at least for me) requires that the mind be quiet during attempts and then it must be actively thinking about it over 50% of the day. It seems that the mind must be primed in order to find success.

This is not easy when my mind is cluttered with a million things but I must learn to clear my mind and to focus.  Perhaps it’s just simple time management issue. I do know that by pushing metaphysical things to the side I have created a gap in my life that must be filled.

I am going to start posting a progress report at the first and middle of each month whether or not I have experiences or not so that I can stay focused on my goal of astral projection. That inner voice has started calling me again so I have no doubt that out of body experiences are right around the corner.

Over the past few weeks I have not had the time or the mindset to pursue metaphysical things due to several projects in my life. These include starting a web hosting / programming company and opening a metaphysical bookstore.

I wanted to let people know that I am still very much into metaphysical things and have not lost interest, but instead am actually putting metaphysical things on hold so that I can get more into metaphysical things if you know what I mean.  I think that opening a bookstore will give me more exposure to the subject matter than anything else I can think of. I will review the books and get to meet many more like minded folks.

Right now the store is just a concept in my head, however it will be called “The Malleable Light Bookstore” and will be hosted by me at malleablelight.com.

During my process to start up my web hosting / programming business I thought it only appropriate to host my own blog so therefor I have switched to wordpress and have written a custom template that preserves the essence of the blogger site that I had before.  I am still in the process of migrating the data from my old site and finalizing some design / css but things are going well and I am happy with the new site that I actually have 100% control over in contrast to blogger where I had maybe 50% .

I would like to thank everyone for reading my blog and wish everyone the best. Please feel free to leave feedback about my new site and I look forward to hearing from you.
