Astral Projection Testimonial

This comes from the amazing testimonials of Dr. Riblet Hout, a osteopathic doctor from Indiana. He was blessed with an amazing amount of psychic abilities that he tried very hard to hide in order to protect his profession. Yet, he was a healer and astral traveler who could communicate with spirits.

I'm currently reading his memoirs and found this interesting story:

"I first placed myself in a comfortable position in an easy chair that I usually use for my experiences, in the locked study, and sat back for a few minutes of reverie and relaxation....So, I sat back resting, my eyes closed in this comfortable chair, and George [a spirit guide] appeared instantly at my side, just as soon as I had relaxed and had beguy to breathe deeply and rhythmically.

Simply and easily, and almost suddenly but nearly inperceptibly, I felt myself drawn out of my body, through my head, at the back of my neck.

This time I was surrounded by light - bright light - all about me, and a feeling of power, a feeling of energy, surging through everything. And this particular time, no force was needed to jerk me free from physical bonds.

And then I floated vertically and easily upward, out and away from that physical room. After a brief sensation of drifting upward, I found myself in a new but very natural environment. I seemed to be in a grove or park which extended as far as I could see. All was beauty, symmetry, and naturalness....I found myself in the center of a circle of trees; I was sitting in a comfortable chair....And then I sat up and looked and watched the approaching spirits with interest. They came closer, and I was both elated and surprised when I recognized them. The were old, almost-forgotten friends from my old hometown. And they were coming up to greet me.

And in this peaceful setting my glance instinctively took me down to the path, toward which all the others were looking, and there comingg radiantly toward me in all the etheric presence, walked my arisen mother....My being fully blended with hers, and this moment seemed the supreme happiness of my existence."

First Level of Astral Projection

I've been collecting accounts of what the first level of projection is like for the experiencers. There seems to be a very thin veil of reality that bridges our waking state from the first moments of leaving the body. The perception of the physical objects definitely have form yet there are unusual differences:

"..it was night time and the bedroom light was off, however the whole room seemed to be bathed in a greyish 'light'. Secondly, although I could see that I was in the natural surroundings of my bedroom, the ceiling was perhaps three or four times higher than it should have been"

"When astral traveler lngo Swann is out of his body, he often does not see normal objects, which look to him like 'the forms of certain light rays and
ionization of the air around changing light sources,'"

"After exiting my body I moved through the wall and floated out into the rain drenched night. What a gloriously wet feeling that was. I could feel and taste the cool rain and blustering wind passing through me. The smell of rain and wetness was everywhere, seeming to fill me with a bright and happy energy. I floated up to the roof and sat on the chimney, looking out over the town. I felt a little bit like a very wet Mary Poppins. I watched the rain dancing over the roofs and streets, swirling through gutters and gurgling into drains."

Twisting vs Rising

The other night I was determined to leave my body. Unfortunately it was late and I was very tired. Now, I've followed two forms of the initial steps to start the process. One advocate says that you must relax, and then start imagining that you are twisting your astral body back and forth until it separates. Many times it starts as if you are twisting at the waist and feeling like your body is going to split in half. Then there is a shimmering and a flinging sensation.

The other method that I've encounted is trying to direct your energy straight up from your 'third eye' and then trying to move your spirit parallel to your head as if you are shooting from the top of your head. This is similar to just trying to push your astral body right out the top of your head. For example, you can feel the energy in your solar plexus move up your spine to the top of your head and then concentrate on the vibrational feeling. Sometimes this feeling is noted to be like the bed is starting to float.

Etheric Exit Point on the Body

I have read many books and articles on Astral Projection from a number of sources. One question that always comes to mind is 'what part of the physical body does the astral or etheric body leave from?' In most cases people describe leaving from the top of the head..."The chief means of leaving the body is through the head, they maintained, and sometimes the projector will experience him or herself spinning out the of the body...His cas studies include 29 incidents in which the reporters specifically described leaving the body through the head. These were physical sensations, too, and not just images. Having experienced this phenomenon myself, I can vouch for how stunning this effect can be. It often feels as if your inner self were being sucked out right through a hole in the top of your head!" - D Scott Rogo Leaving the Body.

Being Pulled from Your Body

I recently came across this message and started wondering about the feeling of being pulled from your body. Looks like there are quite a few experiencers out there who have felt this kind of sensation. Check out Deb's testimony. She seems to have some sort of 'helper' that wants her to fall out of her body. Now, many see this a some kind of malevolent being - however, I think the fear of the experience tends to create a feeling of being out of control which projects as something bad or evil.

I would love to hear from any others who share this experience and what their feelings are on those 'helpers' - are they benevolent or malevolent?
