Visualizing the Astral Target

One key ingredient to progressing your astral skills is improving your target visualization. A number of authors have suggested that desire and the right kind of visualization stimulate the force centers and openings to the astral realms.

To do this it is important that your target be well known and a non threatening location. Many times just another room in your home will suffice. Pick an object that you really feel a connection to or a strong desire to see. As you relax into the first deeper states of consciousness hold that desire and visualize the object. This will draw your consciousness toward it. If you are new to projecting then find a location close to your body to ease the separation and newly discovered feelings.

Note that many authors have written that your astral vision will not be the same as physical reality. Keeping that in mind will help you understand what you see when visualizing the target - the target may be distorted, flow, ebb, glow, etc.

An Astral Bubble

Received this report from a blog reader:

Last night I had an experience where I felt paralyzed. I wa sinside a bubble, above earth, miles high. I was surrounded by darkness, but... I kept hearing beautiful voices of children singing beautifully. There seemed to be hundreds of them, not around, but I could hear them in my mind. I streched my hand to touch the bubble and it wobbled. Then, I tried moving around in the bubble whereas, the bubble itself moved with me and I could "see" the darkness around me and discern a figure that seemed to be the earth--in the far distance. I could control the direction! I then, decided to break free from the paralysis (I alway do that whenI feel uncomfortable) and woke up, but my eyelids were too heavy and had a hard time keeping awake; so I moved my body for about 5 minutes and then, went back to sleep.

The Bee Season

I just finished watching the movie The Bee Season with Richard Gere and Juliette Binoche. It was quit a fascinating view of the spiritual quest for each member of a family. Gere plays a Professor of Religious studies at Berkeley with a focus on Jewish mysticism / cabbalism. When his 11 year old daughter starts to win spelling spelling bees with an almost mystical ability, he starts to introduce her to the secrets of words and sounds found in Cabbalistic thought. His teenage son is also on a spiritual quest since judaism is not providing enough. And Binoche, who seemingly has a similar ability as her daughter, is fighting her fragmented past by creating a spiritual mozaic.

This is a movie worth seeing!

Astral Privacy

Unfortunately I had to take a small hiatus away from the computer and other things due to a busy schedule and just some plain down time. However, this got me thinking about privacy and projection. I have read multiple accounts of people projecting to either other's homes or restricted areas. Take a look at this quote:

'Few interests have the protective resources of the Vatican - a certain astral traveler, trying to examine some of its secret library stacks, was met with what she reported as an impenetrable "wall of fire."'

What about government facilities?

Planet Serpo is Back

Looks like the anonymous posters for the Serpo Project are back again with updates of the Alien's written language and a list of all of the supplies that the humans took with them to planet Serpo. Check it out here!

If you didn't read about this in my earlier post - go there for a quick recap.

Next: Higher Vibrational States

So, at whatever vibrational state you are in at the first phase of being out of your body, the perception of physical reality seems to have a corresponding vibration in the first astral plane. Knowing that this state is only the first level is important to understanding how to progress to higher dimensions. As William Buhlman states, "As you progress in your explorations, you will begin to recognize a startling truth. You possess the power to move within the different energy areas of the universe by the act of focused thought. You can consciously raise and lower your vibrational (density) rate; the observed result is a corresponding change in your surrounding environment. This discovery is significant because it practically eliminates the need for external (lateral) movement. You can essentially explore any frequency of the universe without moving. The physical concepts of distance, separation, and motion become irrelevant."

Robert Bruce noted this about the higher dimensions: "This is a topsy turvy world like Alice found in Wonderland. Everything seems objective (real) but is changeable and fluid. Anything and everything can be found there, from base, coarse levels full of sexual energy; to beautiful, serene places full of spiritual harmony. Time is distorted and extended there. An hour in the Astral can seem like only a few minutes here in the physical. Compared to the physical world it is at a much higher vibration. It's like playing a video tape at twenty times normal speed, although this is not apparent when you are there.

Moving amongst the astral dream pools is usually a hit or miss affair for most projectors. It takes a lot of experience to make planned astral journeys to specific realities.
There are an infinite number of realities, planes, realms and dream pools in this dimension. As I stated before, they naturally strata and settle into pools of related thought. During sleep, or in a lucid dream, the subconscious mind usually creates one especially for you, your own personal dream theatre. When you become aware during a dream, you take control over it. This control is taken over from the powerful subconscious mind. Without its powerful controlling influence, your personal custom created realm will change. You will begin tuning into other sympathetic parts of the astral, and the reality you are in will mix with other realities and take on different aspects.
In a conscious projection into the astral dimension, you can tune into any part of it and travel into different realities, other dream pools, or a mix of many. There are various techniques for this but they all involve some way to disorient the subconscious mind, tricking it into moving you into a different Astral reality. Some projectors look at their hands and watch them melt. Others spin around, causing left right reversals. These methods all disorient the mind and trick the subconscious into tuning into another part of the astral."

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,'"
http://www.llewellynencyclopedia.com/article/201

"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."

"I will never forget the emotional feeling I felt when I put my hand through the door of the cabin. Then, with great excitement, I stepped though the door and onto the deck. I stood there and looked down at the city lights off in the distance, three thousand feet below. I thought, 'Now comes the real test.' In a leap of faith, literally, I closed my eyes and leaped off the end of the deck like Superman. With outstretched arms, I felt myself soaring up into the sky. A few seconds later, I opened my eyes and saw myself high above the mountain canyon. 'Wow! It really is true!' I thought, excitedly."

Very Cool OBE E-Zine

Wow, this makes me feel a bit jealous - but it is a very cool site on OBEs, Remote Viewing and Lucid Dreaming. Take a look at Soul Travel Magazine!

Caught in the Holy Grail

April has been a tough month to get back to the Astral Realm and keep working on the site, blog and other projects. Spring break was refreshing enough to get me caught up in the world of intrigue surrounding the Da Vinci Code. The book is a fun read but what grabs you even more are the speculative historical facts that surround the basis of the story. I'm currently reading Holy Blood, Holy Grail - which weaves out the details of an investigation that starts with a simple mystery and explodes into the core of the Da Vinci Code. Its definitely a deep dive into the history of the Knights Templar, Cathars and the Holy Grail - but a very good read.

Oddly enough, I had come across an excellent website on this topic about 2 years ago that detailed out the original mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau and it's priest Berenger Sauneire. Unfortunately, that great site is now gone (which really bothers me because it was an excellent informational site). However, there are a couple of other sites devoted to this that are worth taking a look at:

Rennes-le-Chateau
Rennes-le-Chateau - Oak Island - Money Pit

Of course, it always helps to have a skeptical view as well:

The Deep Theta Sound

THETA SOUND
The Theta sound is used as a guide to the Theta brain levels. If you want to know how to hear an Alpha or Theta sound can modify your brain levels read The Alpha Centering Sound
Much lower than Alpha (7 to 14 cycles per second) it´s the Theta level (4 to 7 cycles per second), and we can receive great benefits by using this level.
Each time that we activate our mind, it seeks the first place where it can function deductively. If we are meditating at an Alpha level, when we activate it, the brain goes up to Beta, but if we activate it while being at the Theta levels, then it will only go up to Alpha, where we still are at deep levels
The Theta sound can also be used to practice the mind control exercises that are supposed to be done at Alpha level, because as the Theta sound pulses at exactly half the rate of Alpha, it´s easy for the brain to have one Alpha beat for every two beats of the Theta sound.
And since the Theta sound beats at a slower rate, the brain is attracted to a lower rate of pulsing, and makes it easier to remain at alpha.
WHAT FOR DO WE NEED THETA SOUND?
The problems that we want to correct with mind control techniques must be within our reach. Our mind needs to have enough information about a problem to be able to correct it, and if we have never reached the Theta level, then it is closed to us.
Every time that we enter into the Theta level with conscious awareness, that opens that level to us, and puts it within our reach.
And if you learn to master the Theta level, you will be able to control physical pain without taking medicines.
WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS CAN WE REACH AT THETA LEVEL?
It is said that limiting belief systems could be rooted there because they are usually seeded at an early age.
If a 5 year old child is told that he is stupid, he will simply accept it, because at that age he is not able to react deductively. He loves his parents, he belief in his parents and he just records in his brain cells what his parents tell him.
At hat age, his overall predominant brain frequency will be 5 cycles per second (children frequencies are much slower than adults), so every impression will be made at a very low frequencies.
When those levels come within our reach, then we can program ourselves to reach our goals, and if the limiting belief is rooted in theta, our mind can correct it.
There´s another good reason to open up the Theta levels to our reach, and it is to be able to work over our biological intelligence.
While psychological health problems are rooted at Alpha level (ten cycles per second), biological health problems are rooted at Theta level (five cycles per second).
Theta level is the level that the hypnotists use to have teeth pulled, and even to have surgery, without the use anesthetics.
Our body know how to heal ourselves, but many times they need that we remove the interferences to healing to let nature take care of its natural course.
ORIENT AND THE THETA LEVEL
In mind control exercises we use Alpha level, but do the yogis use Alpha level?
No, they don´t. They use Theta level.
Alpha level is good for a mind that wants to be activated, but Theta level is the level desired for those that want to practice yoga´s passive meditation.
So if you want to practice yoga, if you want to work over your life´s argument or want to practice astral travel. Then you need to master the theta levels, and the easiest way to do it is to practice with my Theta Sound CD

Mothman Revisited

I decided to read The Mothman Prophecies by John Keel again. If you haven't read it or seen the movie yet it you really should pick up a copy. It is truly a classic of UFO and Fortean literature. Fortean events tend to tie together in space and time. I happened to see John Keel at a lecture some years ago and was fascinated by the number of odd yet interesting stories he told. From his perspective it seems that if you start down the path of investigating strange and unusual things you start going down the rabbit hole. The more you think and do in that space the more strange things start occurring to you.

Many astral stories are linked by other psychic and strange coincidences. Is there a connection?  Look at this quote about sensations before Mothman sightings:

"One of the most fascinating aspects of reports of the Mothmen is the psychological effect they seem to have on people. Almost universally, those who have encountered the entities speak of them inspiring a sense of deep, almost primal, dread. This, and their perhaps tenuous link to disasters, have led some to speculate that the creatures are not actually physical beings, but instead are some kind of manifestation of a collective unconscious. The theory of the Mothman as a psychic projection is that somehow collective trauma can be a significant enough shock to the minds of those involved that the power of their collective psyches bend space and time to cause one of these creatures to manifest itself before the trauma happens. Exactly how this happens is yet to be explained."
