Thread: Astral Projection, OBE's & a little bit about LD

Awesome! I'm glad I made myself clear!

Hope it works!!

Its just sometimes our minds like to butt in too much!, so it makes it a bit harder (that's my case, and I know its many other peoples case too) So what we need to do is just, instead of forcing the mind to do something, explain the mind how things work and get to an understanding for so to speak..

I kept forcing my mind to think what I wanted and I could not get results...

Just a month ago I started just trying to like, talking myself into things and undestanding HOW my mind works, HOW my mind sees things and truth be told, I've been getting some great results!... Now every time my mind tries to fight something I'm telling it to do... I sort of explain why I'm doing it and why its a good thing... if there's doubt, I analize it and deal with the doubt and remember (from things that I've read) Why there Shouldn't be doubts....

I know it sounds a bit weird but.. come on... We all talk to ourselves... Its just a form of thinking.... Its not like there's another voice in my head!! or anything like that!! is just my mind used to be kinda stubborn.. distracted... and I've found that doing this actually helped me get it under control a bit

In a forum dedicated to traveling without our bodies, consciously controlling our dreams, meeting other real people in the dream world, and generally exploring the non-physical, non-mainstream aspects of our reality, I really don't think that you need to worry about talking to yourself sounding weird!! LOL!!

Jokiness aside (but always within reach), I definitely get what you are saying there. Our boundaries are created by our beliefs - which are held by our more-tricky-to-access subconscious, and a lot of the time we don't even know that we have that belief!!

I recently finished reading the book "Spontaneous Evolution" (and I almost feel like I'm going on and on and on about this book, and plugging it every chance I get, but it really is that awesome) and one of the key points that absolutely fascinated me was about the structuring of unconscious beliefs in childhood. To summarize: until about the age of six our brains exhibit mostly Alpha and Theta waves - data is not analyzed, only recorded. Essentially, what this means is that until our brains grow to the point of displaying Beta waves associated with analysis, we record everything into our subconscious, no matter how incorrect or self-defeating it may be. A brain works by making connections, so everything you learn from that point is literally built on on whatever connections you've formed from everything you've absorbed - beneficial or not (reason #847 my children will be brought up without television).

Sooooo to get around to my point... it makes sense that we might try to resist doing something we might unconsciously consider "impossible" or "ridiculous" (or gods forbid "insane"), and it totally makes sense to alleviate this by explaining to yourself the intention and reasoning behind what you are doing - the same way you might alleviate a child's fears of doing something new.

Wooooo!

IF YOU PUT IT THAT WAY!!! lol totally right...

Well, That book sounds very very interesting... I think I'll read it... yeah I totally undestand your point... that's exactly what I've realized about lately... I've found out things about my self that I had NO IDEA were even in me...

Well anyways.. good luck with this whole thing!, hopefully you'll get there soon...

And me too! I'm still learning....
