conscious Oobe....It's Real!!

its way funny Bode.......................LMAO


Wow ok.........so I have been sick with pneumonia the past couple of weeks.
I was laying down resting and recouperating today and here comes the sound in bright daylight! I was excited about this and tried hard right off the get go to 'get out'.....................this was futile and I had to just relax and deep breath and let the sound build and take its course.....it built up to its cresendo point and I was able to peel out of my body. I was really looking super forward to OOBE in daylight for I have never had this happen before!

Right at this very instant my son came bounding in the backdoor with his best buddy.....and they made alot of youthfull teenage excited noise and went into his bedroom wich is right next to mine, to play Xbox. The sound and the bustle was to much for me to remain outside of myself sadley......I TRIED to stay out but it was not going to happen and I went back in.....

I hollerd at the boys to keep it down and they did crank it down a few notches but alas my window of oppertunity closed, and I wound up reading a book.

wow...I want to take a moment to realise that this is the 1000 post to this thread. I want to thank EVERYBODY who is participating and sharing the knowledge of this odd reality......we KNOW this IS REAL...............I know that alot of readers may very well hold a sceptic mind about this subject, and GOOD for you! Noone should just BELIEVE every darn thing they read...
..but I am giving my testemony of the validity of this thread. Every word I have written IS TRUE.... This thread IS A DIARY, of all that has happened to me since the very first post.......wich was miraculously answered.
I shall be FOREVER GRATEFULL for the turn my life took that night after I made the first post of this thread.....The door was opened for me and I pray it never closes.

I will FOREVER feel indebted to this site.......for if it was not for ATS, this would not have happened for me.

I am sorry to hear you were ill.

I came to OBE thru reading the two books Dianetics55 and Scientology: the fundamentals of thought.

The exercises in the books are what did it for me . They have also helped anchor my life as they help to give me better control of the resource which is the body.

In life you must take a journey out and in. You must maintain your physical form to be counted among the humans.

Like everyone else in this thread, I am fascinated by the idea of an OOBE.

Transcending our bodies and being literally able to go anywhere we like is a wonderful fantasty. I'm sure there are those who would have questionable motives for doing this, but for me - personally - the exploration part is the biggest draw. There are just so many events and places I would love to see.

However, I'm now 28 and have been researching and trying to initiate an OOBE since the age of fourteen. I realise I'm still young, but frustration and lack of progress has basically pushed me to a point where I've given up trying - I don't believe I'll ever achieve one for myself, not in this lifetime at least .

But anyway - still nice to hear about other's experiences and talk about it.

Gaz

Did you read my post?

Try the exercises in the books they work. it may take a year to achieve with constant work, but it works.

the act of OoBE Kinda takes the evil out of you as you see things way different than before.

Update!

I had an OBE last night which may of involved verification.

It started off with me waking up in mind and I felt all warm/tingly and was semi paralized meaning that my body felt all numb and heavy but with will power I could of easily moved and woke up fully. I chose not to and went with it, my body gradually became more and more numb and then I gained astral vision and felt floaty. I sat up and tried to snap out but this time was a struggle and I started getting frustrated. After a while I found myself floating.. i willed myself forward and went through somthing and was met with bright light and clearer vision.. id gone through my bedroom door and was on our landing.. I looked into my mum and dads bedroom and noticed that my dad wasnt in bed so I decided to go downstairs to see if he was asleep on the sofa which he sometimes does. I floated downstairs and went into the living room and there he was sprawled out on the sofa fast asleep with the tv left on. I floated upto him and tried taking in his body position to verify when I return to wake up. When I was happy I willed myself back and woke up.. I got out of bed, looked into my mum and dads room and my dad wasnt there so I went downstairs and popped my head round the door and there he was, layed there in the same position.

So.... the only thing that I can think of that makes me think this might not be verification is this.... my dad always sleeps in the same position when he sleeps on the sofa and that is the position which he fell tosleep in. (fully layed out facing up, one arm behind his head and the other iether hanging from the sofa or on his chest) but apart from that I think this OBE may hold verification.. not importaint I know but its nice to get from time to time.

Hi, I've been trying to have an oobe for a while now, I've come close once, I'm not sure if im doing anything right or wrong, but is there any basic tips anybody can give to me.

I must say I feel a little silly posting this::
When I say i've come close, What happened was:
I'm laying in bed relaxed and basically fell unconcious sort of on the way to sleep.
Then I feel consious and hear a funny sound in my ears like the rushing air people have described and I feel like i'm diagonal above my body but my feet were stuck (has anyone heard of this before-feet or other part stuck in place) so I still have my eyes closed and I think "try and get free" and I went down through my bed, feet still stuck, I've never felt this before and I was a bit shocked, then I think to myself if this is happening open my eyes and see, so I open my eyes and i'm laying in bed, Then the strangest thing, I hear like a loud bell clanging in my head.
Took a while to stop that.

I know it wasn't a dream because I had concious thought and I felt like I was outside my body, but I have failed to get to that stage again.

Can anyone help???

I had an experience last night, an almost OOBE.

Sometimes, when I do visualization exercises my mind start spinning throught my thoughts, I start thinking uncounciously and I cannot really focus or know what I am thinking, it's funny.
And then, something blasts my mind, a huge sound come to my ears but it's not from outside, it's inside my head, I start to hearing voices, visualize things, etc.
This is the max point I reached trying to leave my body.

But yesterday was a little bit special. When I started hearing the sounds, something whispered in my ears weird things about evil.
"Evil lies within you" or "Evil comming fast", I cannot remember.

Weird.

WOW YOU GUYS.

This is amazing. I am definatly going to try it, untill i succeed. I believe i was almost several times in this state before. But i didnt know what it was.

This is how it usually happened.
I was laying on my bed, Half asleep. Not necesarily tired, but deeply relaxed and unconcious of what was happened around me, i had no thoughts or anything. And i'd stay like this for some time. Then something strange would occur, Id hear a loud noise, like everyone describe a rushing of wind, or something else in my ears. Then I'd get the sensation of falling and that would always wake me up. I could never explain the reason why i felt I was falling, when i always woke up laying down in my bed.

This is amazing! I am going to try this now, for sure and keep this post updated on how things go. I'll try later tonight and we'll see how it turns out, Anyone got any tips of meditating or gettin deeply relaxed, i never tried, it always just happened.
Now that i know that this is real, and what it is, Hopefully I'll succeed. imagine the possibilities

RR, I've been reading this thread and i see several instances where you report bonding with unknown spirits, or asking them for help, etc. I read on "What is Astral Projection ( By Robert Bruce )" that you should'nt associate with unknown spirits or entities. Only the ones your familiar with or the good ones, angels, gaurdians, etc. Thats because you might attract unwanted attention, some spirits need their permission to come to you, so if you ask anyone for help, something not so nice might show up. 1 way to check if your not sure about the spirits intentions, ask it leave, if its a nice spirit it'll abide, if not you probebly should'nt mess with it. I Know I was trying AP my first time today, intentionally. And i got in a trance, I asked anybody to help me project. So I was pulling on my rope and started getting dizzy and felt really uncomfortable, i decided to open my eyes. I saw something freaky for about a split second, i think it was a face, i did'nt like it But im no expert, but this Robert Bruce guy is.

Heres the link, its a great read on AP. Covers alot.

Text Blue
If there is someone out there that can give a friendly "yank". Please contact me. I have astral traveled but always in my sleep. I need some help to achieve this while I am more aware of what has happened. We could exchange help if you like as I am an energy worker or a healer of sorts if you may. Part of the reason I need to do this is to make sure an old friend, who used to share a very strong telepathic connection with me is safe, Ive tried to find him over the years and all I can find is a partial APO address that indicates he is in the Middle East.
As far as encountering negative entities during an OOB or leaving your body "vulnerable", it is very important to protect yourself by asking for the protective white light of Jesus, God, Budda, etc. You can ask for the protective green light of nature, from your angels, archangels, the carion as well.
I personally do these things because I work with peoples etheric energy which can and will attract other beings, some good and some maybe not so good.
Just remember you must visualize this protection around you perhaps as a suit you may pull over yourself just make sure your intentions are clear.

Im not sure what to think about this yanking bussiness I mean is it even possible? when I have OBE's the last thing I think about is trying to yank someone out.. it doesnt even cross my mind I just want to make the most out of my OBEs. I guess it would be interesting if you managed to yank a mate out and then ask them the following day if they had any odd experiences whilst asleep.

I have never had an OBE while sleeping.

Mine are more of the pop out while wide awake type. I really can't relate to having to trance to OBE.

I have been unwell, so I have been spending extra time in bed. Today early my son left to go with his father for the day, so I jut layed in bed napping off and on for hours.

No less than 30 mins ago I got up to write on this thread about my amazing OOBE I had just a while ago fully concious!

First amazing part (for me) was the sound I know so well was not a part of it.
I was laying very still, very relaxed, hoping the sound would come but it was not coming to me. I decided to work without it if I could.... Soooooo, I decided to try the rope tecnique and this didnt work for me either. So I was laying on my left side (I am more relaxed side sleeping) and I was lying with my body perfectly still....but I was able to dislodge my astral self by having the astral part of me turn over to my right side and float up.I just kinda 'turned out' of my body.. my vision was really blurry but not blind, so I went forward to go out by back bedroom walls window. It seems to slow my movements when I pass through solid objects, but I popped out of the wall and into the back yard. Once outside my vision is crisp and clear, but things are colored differantly than in 3D. Not more vivid as some have decribed, I was seeing in a more black and white world, that had bright splashes of red and orange in places like on fall leaves.

First thing is I see this HUGE black dog with a spike collar.....(I would describe the dog as an extra BIG doberman pincer type) Now this dog is not there in the physical at all, this dog is an astral dog......its charging toward me and barking. For some reason I am NOT scared of this dog even a little bit and I hold up my arm and say "hey NO WAY dog, you have no power here so cool it ! You DO NOT scare me!" and the dog calms and sits and just looks at me kinda sad, like he felt bad that he could'nt scare me
I keep floating away from the dog and he is just staying behind and watching me go higher up, up......I start flying. I fly toward Mnt Olympus that looms large above the Salt Lake Valley.....................and I am flying above the tree tops and a very nice clip.
I am really enjoying this! I am shouting "WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO"! and I bet the experiance was alot like doing a zip-line except I was going uphill. I see a large gully cut deep between 2 seperate mnts, creating a valley gash of tangled brush, and I am flying above this. I think, 'kick up the speed' and BANG my speed increases 50%.....I am thinking at this clip I could head for Canada and go visit Lake Louise or something.
I notice that suddenly it seems like the mnts are covered in snow, and I can see a couple of snowboarders cutting some curves on some groomed runs......and I fly close above theyre heads going uphill. They are coming at me going downhill, and all 3 of them have an look Asain to me......I can see a large concrete building up top the slopes, a chair lift is turning around in this building, and I am heading that way.

At this point I think about my body........wonder if I am on Mnt Fuji or someplace super far away and *BLAM* I am back in my body just that fast. This frusterates me and I tell myself repetively DO NOT THINK OF YOUR BODY! do NOT think of your body! DO NOT THINK OF YOUR BODY YA KNITWIT sheesh ya know better!!!! duh duh duh

Well anyway, I am so pleased with this successfull trip I jump up and head to my computor to write it down here........then think,no no why not wait for a bit? Why not try again??? So I went and layed back on the bed and was deep breathing and relaxing thinking excitedly about doing this again.......and I can hear my son coming through the door.....I hear him head into his room next to mine, and he turns on his Xbox. I can hear the gunfire from Star Wars blasters and know I am not going to have another successfull trip today

So here I am......sitting at the computor, and writting it down. YEY YEY I am very happy with this big success! I now am going to stop focusing my OOBE trips so much at night prior to sleeping. I am now going to try and focus them on after I wake up. I am going to wake up and drink some water, and then just rest and focus on getting out. This really aught to work better for me because then I will be allready rested and much less prone to falling asleep while 'tripping through the Atsral fantastic'.

The moment you think about your body your back in it. Exactly!

I seriously wonder if this is not some protective mechanism we have.

When I read that it really struck a chord with me and I started to remember some things I'd forgotten. I've been dreaming about astral projection a lot recently... but they're vague memories and something is always not quite right (such as waking up in the wrong bed), so I know it's just a regular dream. It's also not very vivid.

But reading you say that I was reminded of a sensation of passing through objects really slowly.... kind of like moving in slow motion through them... odd.

Is there any basc steps or things you shouldn't do when it comes to astral projection??
I've read somewere maybe on this thread that some people have had near death experiances but it didn't go in to any detail...

Near death is traumatic exteriorization. These people, though they remember the incident well, usually don't try to reproduce it, as it is associated in their minds with a horrible physical experience.

Its true about going slower through objects and I tend to squint my eyes just before passing through walls untill I reach the other side. If I did this when dreaming id be sure to wake up and this is what I usualy do to wake myself up from really bad nightmares or if someone is just about to catch me.

Does anyone know why squinting your eyes real hard causes you to wake up? Im assuming this is how everyone escapes from nightmares btw.

Ok what the hell is up with this? My mom calls me and tells me she reads an Article in the sceince times proving that O.B.E is not real.

IT IS F'ING REAL!!!

Those people have no idea what they are talking about. I've seen a ghost ghosts are real. I don't have any proof though, cause I saw it and didn't film it or anything. But you know what. Those scientists are DEBUNKED! by me. Because OBE is real.

There is a man who wrote a book about himself. And he said he had an OBE in his Horrible carcrash. The medical people said he was clinically dead. During that time, he said that he was having an OBE, and went to heaven.
Then a priest came by and prayed and prayed for hours for him to come back to life. And he did!!
This man was clinically announced dead, but he came back to life because God sent him back. That's what he said.

Who agrees with me!? I'm sorry but the article angers me very much.
