I used the simple communication exercizes in Scientology books to exteriorize the first time.
I went on to read alot of L. Ron's writings about the subject. His view was, the best state of a human is to be 3 feet off the body most of the time.
His point was, you then don't have to listen to the constant crying and whimpering of the body and it is easier to fix the things that are wrong with
it.
I have found this to be true.
I used to think it odd at first to exteriorize, but looking back through this life. I noticed at times there were views that I could not have had
using my eyes, especially during times of emergency.
I believe if most people could do reliving of past experiences they would note that there were times when they were exteriorized, also.
Actually, from a wholesomeness point of view, reliving of past traumatic experiences is more beneficial than exteriorization in the present and it can
aid your exteriorization bids.
It is the energies(+, or -) pent-up into these past traumas, and or ecstasies that detract from the enjoyment of the present. They must be
deflated.
I have noticed that since I have gained the power to exteriorize at will, I can see not necessarily w/ mine eyes the point of abode of others in, or
about their bodies(tell me if any of you have also noted this ability) we'll call this Spirit-Direct. In otherwords, I can see from where they hold
their body. It works w/ animals as well. I don't think an animal that is not aberated(twisted from abuse) is totally in it's body.
The greater gain for your exteriorizations will, my fellow spirits, come when you relive old traumas and relieve the pent-up energies that lie within.
When you relive them over and over till you get a release of energies, you will feel this release come all the way up your timeline to the present. It
will be like a lightening bolt. Thereafter, you will feel lighter, stronger, and more capable, though a little shaky at first from such releases. If
you do not get this kind of release from reliving a past trauma, and or ecstasy, you need to keep at it till you do.
The point is: It is NOT good to be stretched out along your timeline because it dilutes your effectiveness in the present and detracts from your
enjoyment of your existence. It also distorts your view of yourself.
One last note: I believe most people exteriorize during sleep, when their control-center(brain) is not engaged and not recording the event.
Life is the search for a point to view from.
Hope this helps.
