Lets get an AP and OBE and other Strange thigns Tutorial and FAQ in the Tutorial Forum!!

[C911]

Intro No offense to beggining people, who are just venteruing into the AP and OBE fields of study. After you go on in this forum for a bit, you will realize what we mean when we say... Answering the same question 10,000 times is very annoying haha. Approval So, i just consulted Amethyst Star, and got the approval to start a FAQ and Tutorial, and try to get it into the Tutorial section. So, i thought that it would be alot more fun if everyone chipped in, and we all made a huge FAQ and Tut, so everyone can have there names in it. Links So, to start off, I will post some links to some interesting sites that concern all the OBE and AP and the rest of the Beyond Dreaming section threads. This should clear up some extreme room in the forum, and save some copy pasting by the people who know what they are doing. Anyway, here are some links: http://www.astralsociety.com/ - This website is a good way to start off your learning of AP. It has beggining tutorials, and some in depth answers to alot of questions you might be having. http://www.astraldynamics.com/ - This is where i got most of my knowledge. This site covers the basics of Energy work, and the basic tutorial of how to get into an Astral Projection. http://www.december212012.com/ - The basic and official website for the 2012 theory. This site has pretty much everything you need to know about 2012, news articles, videos, pictures, theorys, everything. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsofKUDXds4 - A very good video on the comparison of the Sphinx and the Pyraminds to the Constellations Leo and Orion. This spells out alot of weird theorys about a lost civilization. http://www.wingmakers.co.nz/Telekinesis.html - A very advanced over look of the skill of Telekinesis. This is where i started, and now i can perform alot of what this talks about. It tells how to make PSI balls, to move things with your brain, to levetate, and much more. Good place to start if you are interested in the art of Telekinesis. http://www.reiki.org/ - The official site of the art of being able to calm yourself and to heal yourself. This website teaches what Reiki is, and how you can use it to cure yourself of virus riden diseases, headaches, cramps, just anything. Components In this Tutorial and FAQ, i hope to cover: OBE AP The difference between OBE & AP The difference between OBE & Lucid Dreaming Telekenisis Akaishik Records Telepathy 2012 Theorys Legends and Myths of the waking world The Universe itself Star Constellations The Theory of The Matrix The Theory of the Super Human or - The One FAQ About all of the above Plus whatever people want to see in the tutorial The difference between OBE & AP To be very honest, there is no big difference between OBE & Astral Projection. The biggest thing i can see is, most commonly when you have an OBE it is either Random and not intentional, and in the Physical Plane. An Astral Projection however, is when you literally will your spiritual body out of your self, and you can visit a number of planes. These include the physical, the astral, the mental, the buddhic, and the nirvanic. Higher than this are two others, but they are so far above our present power of conception that for the moment they may be left out of consideration. If you reach them, then you probly shouldnt have to be looking at this tutorial... heh heh. OBE and AP Ok, so now that we have that out of the way, lets head on to talking about how to induce an AP and OBE. OBE's are normally caused by NDE, or Near Death Experiences. But enough about these, since you can do almost the same things in Astral Projections. Astral Projection: Ok, there are many, many, MANY ways to induce these. However, i have only found two ways to get them to work. NIAP, and WIAP. Just like LD, NIAP stands for Nap Induced Astral Projection. WIAP stands for Wake Induced Astral Projection. If you are skilled in the art of WILD, then you can more then likely always get into an Astral Projection without much hassel. Here is a link to my NIAP tutorial: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=44182 Now, the WIAP technique i use, is alot more complicated. When you nap, or wake after you have been sleeping for hours, it is alot easier to go back to sleep. This is because when you were sleeping last, you were already in the REM sleep, and when you wake up and go back to sleep (WBTB), it is alot easier to have an AP. Anyway, back to the tutorial. I will use Robert Bruces Tutorial for this one. Robert Bruce is an outstanding man, who has traveled accross the universe while in his AP form. His link is posted in the links section, and i greatly advise using his methods. To trigger the projection of the Astral body, while fully conscious, there are four major requirements: Relaxing your body 100% while staying awake. Concentrating 100% on what you are doing. Having enough energy available. Pressuring the astral body to separate. Together, these four things will trigger an OOBE. Below are exercises that will teach how to relax the body, concentrate, clear the mind, raise energy, stimulate the chakras and enter the trance state. Calming The Mind Relaxation You must learn and master, a full body relaxation exercise. If you know one already it can be adapted to suit. Here is a very simple one: Sit, or lie down, and relax. Starting with the feet, tense and relax them. Continue this with calves, thighs, hips, stomach, chest, arms, neck and face until your whole body is deeply relaxed. Go over this a few times, making sure your muscles stay relaxed. Note: Deep physical relaxation is the key to bringing on the trance state, i.e., deep relaxation CAUSES the trance state. Once you are in the trance state, projection on the astral body is relatively easy. Contemplation When you begin meditation, you will be plagued with thoughts from your surface mind, which acts like a huge Memo pad. It carries messages, reminders, pressing thoughts, problems to solve, unresolved issues etc. It is constantly busy, it NEVER rests, thoughts, thoughts, thoughts, one after the other, all clamouring for attention. Before you attempt to clear your mind, with the breath awareness exercise below, it is wise to deal with these surface thoughts by the act of contemplating them. Sit comfortably, do the relaxation exercise and think, nothing more, just think. Search out the strongest thoughts in your mind and examine them, try to resolve and understand them. Note the word: THINKING. Contemplation does not involve clearing the mind, or visualisation. It requires you to THINK, deeply and thoroughly, about something, to gain a deeper understanding of its nature and how it relates to you, an insight. Breath Awareness Meditation This is a simple form of meditation. It will clear your mind and focus your awareness. Sit or lie down, close your eyes, do the relaxation exercise and clear your mind. Breathe deeply and slowly and focus on the breath entering and leaving your body. Feel it coming in and feel it going out. Focus your whole attention on your lungs and the breathing process. This simple action is enough to occupy your surface mind. Firmly push intruding thoughts away, as they begin, before they can gather strength and distract you. Breath awareness occupies the surface mind and allows you to think on a much deeper level. Surface Thoughts Sounds are very distracting, they generate surface thoughts. A car horn will generate: "Who's that, what's happening?" A door opening will generate: "Who's coming in or going out?" The surface mind is always very curious about what is happening around you. It wants to know all, and it wants to inform you of every little thing going on around you. It will pressure you to open your eyes, get up and go find out what's happening. Don't allow this to happen. USE these annoying, attention getting thoughts as a training aide. By learning to quash and ignore them, your powers of concentration will grow. Stop these annoying little thoughts as they begin, before they can take root and grow into something stronger. For example: Who's that, what's happening? becomes: "Who's th............" Who's coming in, or going out? becomes: "Who's co............" With practise the start of these distracting thoughts will get shorter and shorter until you get: Wh....?........?.......... and " W...?................... " And finally: .......?........?...........................?..... .............. Many people say they can't clear their mind as they are too easily distracted by all the small noises that surround them, in normal day to day activity. DON'T use music or other sounds to blanket these out, USE them for training. It's like weight lifting, if you train with feather dusters your strength will not increase. You need to master this, the hard way, if you want to give your mind real muscle. Slowly but surely you will master the ability to clear your mind. Once accomplished, you will have gained a valuable mental tool. You will be able to concentrate 100% of your attention, on one task, to the TOTAL exclusion of everything else. I sometimes meditate, in the trance state, successfully, in a noisy, crowded room with little children crawling all over me. NOTHING breaks my concentration. Concentration You must be able to concentrate and focus completely on what you are doing. Lack of concentration is the single, biggest cause of projection failure. It affects every aspect of projection, from the relaxation exercise, to the trance state and actual projection. To test your ability to concentrate: Sit and relax. Close your eyes and clear your mind of ALL thought. Breath slowly and deeply and count each breath, at the end of each exhale. Hold it totally BLANK, apart from the counting, for as long as you can. See how long you can hold it like this. Be honest with yourself, every time a thought intrudes start counting from the beginning again. You are doing well if can do this for longer than ten breaths. Ten breaths is, however, not long enough. Don't worry though, this can be improved on with the exercises below. Concentration Exercise (1) After image retention: Relax, calm your mind, and look at a candle or a light bulb. Place this light in front of you, a couple of feet away, and stare fixedly at it for a minute or two. Close your eyes and concentrate on the after image this will generate behind your closed eyelids. Try and keep sight of it for as long as possible. Use breath awareness to keep the mind clear, while you are doing this. Try and make the after image grow, instead of fading away. Concentration Exercise (2) One point stare: Pick a spot on a wall and gaze at it. Don't focus on it, just gaze at it gently. Clear your mind of ALL thoughts and forcibly hold it blank. Concentrate HARD, on breath awareness while you are doing this. When you feel a thought beginning, push it away, don't let it finish! Hold this for as long as you can. Do this several times a day, or more if you can. Concentration Exercise (3) Energy breathing: Sit and relax. Close your eyes and clear your mind. Do the breath awareness exercise and imagine the air you are breathing IN is brightly coloured energy of your favourite colour. Imagine the air you are breathing OUT is a murky Grey, full of toxic waste. This is a purification exercise. It stimulates your chakras into absorbing energy on the inhale and getting rid of negative energy on the exhale. Note: Try your best not to tense up while you are doing these concentration exercises, it is ALL mental. In the beginning, it may feel as if you have to tense your mind into a tight ball to stop it thinking, but in time you will find the opposite to be true. When you get used to it, clearing the mind is VERY relaxing. The Trance State When you have attained a deep level of relaxation and mental calmness, you will feel your body begin to get very, very heavy. This heaviness is the main symptom of your brain waves changing from the Beta to the Alpha level as you enter a trance. The trance state is caused by deep physical and mental relaxation. There is nothing weird or supernatural about it. It simply means your body has entered the sleep state while your conscious mind is fully awake. How To Enter A Trance Do the relaxation exercise and calm your mind through breath awareness. Imagine you are climbing down a ladder in the dark. Don't visualise a ladder, just imagine you can feel yourself doing it. On the exhale, feel yourself climbing a step or two down the ladder with your imaginary Hands (outlined below). On the inhale, feel yourself holding still on the ladder. What is needed is a mental falling effect inside your mind. This changes the level of brain wave activity from the awake level (Beta) to the asleep level (Alpha) or the deep sleep level (Theta). Once your level of brain wave activity reaches Alpha you will enter a trance. Keep doing this for as long as it takes. The time it takes to enter trance will vary, depending on your experience with deep relaxation and mental calmness. Note: Once you get the heavy feeling, stop the mental falling exercise. If you don't like the ladder, imagine you are in a lift, feel yourself falling on the exhale and holding on the inhale. Or, Imagine you are a feather, feel yourself floating down on the exhale and holding still on the inhale. As I stated above, you need a mental falling effect to lower your level of brain wave activity. This mental falling effect, when combined with deep relaxation and mental calmness, will cause you to enter the trance state. Feel free to use any scenario you are familiar with to bring about this going deeper feeling. A trance feels like: Everything gets quieter and you feel like you are in a much bigger place. There is a very slight humming feeling in your body. Everything feels different. It feels a bit like putting a cardboard box over your head in the dark, you can feel the atmosphere change. It's like everything goes fuzzy or slightly blurred. Any sharp noises, while in trance, feel like a physical blow to the Solar Plexus. Deep Trance The level of trance you achieve depends greatly on your relaxation, concentration skills and will power. To enter a deeper trance, i.e., Theta level and beyond, you have to concentrate much more and for much longer, on the mental falling sensation aided by breath awareness. The first level of trance, i.e., when you get very heavy, is quite deep enough for projection. I strongly advise against forcing yourself deeper than a light trance, until you have plenty of experience with the trance state. How can you tell if you are entering a deep trance? There are four very noticeable symptoms: An uncomfortable feeling of cold that doesn't make you shiver, coupled with a steady loss of body heat. Mentally, you will feel very odd and everything will feel extremely slooooow. Your thought processes will slow down as if you had been given a strong pain killing injection. You will feel disassociated from your body, i.e., a strong floating sensation and everything will seem far away. Total physical Paralysis. Note: These four things, ALL TOGETHER, signify you are entering a deep trance. Do not mistake the mild floating sensation you sometimes get with light trance, i.e., as you astral body comes loose. Or the slight loss of body heat from sitting still for a long time and the mild paralysis, i.e., the heaviness, for a deep trance. The sensation of deep trance is quite uncomfortable and unmistakable for what it is. It is very difficult to get into the deep trance state, as you need highly developed relaxation, concentration and trance state skills plus lots and lots of will power and mental energy. You will not accidentally fall into it. If you are worried you are going too deep, remember this: You CAN pull yourself out of it at any time. Concentrate ALL your will on moving your fingers or toes. Once you can move a finger or toe, flex your hands, move your arms, shake your head, i.e., reanimate your body; and get up and walk around for a few minutes. Falling into a deep trance should not be a problem with these exercises. I have seen many people in meditation groups etc, enter a light trance and not be able to pull themselves out of it, i.e., they float away with the faeries. Usually some kind person will talk them out of it or massage their wrists etc to get them to come back to reality. This is unnecessary and is the result of lop- sided training, i.e., no concentration or will power training. The person only THINKS they cannot come back and therefore does not try very hard. It is also a good way of getting attention from the group. Note: Your mind is extremely powerful and has vast untapped resources. It can do ANYTHING, no limits, if it is trained, conditioned and properly motivated. Energy Body Expansion At some point after entering the trance state, you will feel a mild paralysis come over you. This will soon be accompanied by a deepening vibration and a buzzing feeling all over. You may also feel like you are huge and swollen. The paralysis, vibrations and the huge feeling are symptoms of the energy body expanding and the astral body loosening. This is part of the normal sleep process. The energy body expands and opens in order to accumulate and store energy. During this, the astral body drifts free, slightly out phase with the physical body. Trance Familiarity Many people blow their projection simply because they are not used to the trance state. They think it is a briefly opened window into the Astral dimension. This is simply NOT true. If you stay mentally and physically calm when you enter the trance state, you can maintain it for hours. I regularly spend several hours at a time in the trance state, during meditation. If, when you enter trance, you think: "Yes! I've done it!...I'm in a trance! Gotta hurry and get out quick...before it stops!" You'll blow it for sure! The trance will be ended by the simple act of getting over excited, i.e., breaking relaxation and mental calmness. It's a good idea to spend time in the trance state, just getting used to it, before you try and project. Just relax, stay calm, focus on breath awareness, and hold the trance. It won't end until you want it to. Get used to how it feels. When you are comfortable doing this, do the energy raising and chakra stimulation exercises, below, in trance. Note: You do not HAVE to be in a trance to learn energy and chakra work, it just works better in trance. Trance practise can be done lying down, but is best done in a comfortable arm chair. Your astral body will be loose in the trance state, so try lifting your astral arms and legs out, one at a time. Use your HANDS to do this, as shown in the next section. Focus and FEEL your awareness in an arm and slowly lift it free of your body. You may feel a slight tickling or localised dizziness inside your arm or leg, as you do this. Lift your astral arm up and look at it, with your eyes closed, but DON'T move a muscle. In this state you should be able to see it through your closed eyelids, but don't worry if you can't, this will come later. Lifting your astral arms free is good practise for projection. Later, you will use these astral arms to pull your astral body free of the physical. Tactile Imaging Tactile imaging is a perception or FEELING of localised bodily awareness. Your hands are very closely linked to your bodily awareness. They are intimately aware of every part of your body. Imaginary HANDS, outlined below, is only an extension of this (hand to body) awareness. When you are asked to feel your awareness, in any part of your body, PRETEND your hands, your real hands, are going to touch that area of your body. Then use the awareness this generates in that area to imagine your imaginary HANDS are there. Keep your eyes closed and hold your hands out a foot or so in front of your face. Concentrate, FEEL where they are and try and SEE them through the blackness behind your closed eyes. Cross your wrists, slowly move them about, turn your hands over, open and close your fingers. Look hard, concentrate, as if you were trying to see in the dark, and you will see a faint moving shadow in your minds eye, where your hands and arms are. Close your eyes and touch the tip of your nose with the index finger of your right hand. You'll find you can accurately put that finger on any part of your body with your eyes closed. Try it, put your hand, your real hand, on different parts of your body like this. You know exactly where your hands are at all times, you can sense and feel where they are. If you observe what is happening in your mind, while you are doing this, you will notice you become aware of the part of your body you are going to touch, the instant you make the decision to touch it. Go over your whole body like this, getting used to the sensation of awareness it generates in different areas of your body. What is happening is this: Part of your mind is shifting into, and HIGHLIGHTING, the area you are going to touch, in order to guide your hand to the exact spot. Your mind shifts part of its awareness to this spot and acts like a homing beacon for your hand. The ability to shift your awareness into different parts of your body like this is VITAL to energy work and this projection method. Note: You do not have to actually visualise these HANDS, i.e., see or imagine you can see them. It is ALL tactile, NOT visual. You just have to be able to pretend to FEEL them doing something, like you are rehearsing some simple action in your mind. I originally developed this technique for blind people. Blind people cannot visualise AT ALL, if they have been blind since birth, but they do have a very keen sense of bodily awareness. The majority of sighted people also have great trouble with visualisation of any kind, and all projection techniques depend heavily on visualisation. This being the case, I developed a projection technique that does NOT depend on visualisation to exert pressure on the astral body to separate. It turned out to be so much easier, and more successful, than the other visualisation based techniques, that I discarded them in favour of this simple tactile method. Note: Blind people are not blind in astral form. The astral body does not have any organs as such, it is a point of consciousness only. The astral body you are aware of while projecting is provided courtesy of the subconscious minds creative ability. The difference between OBE & Lucid Dreaming The most common phrase for skeptics: "Ap is leaving the body after you go into SP, so is LD, you can do the same things, and so they are the same" In many cases, you might think you are AP'ng, but instead you are LD'ng, i know ive had it happen many times. But for the defense of everyone who believes in AP: There is one HUGE difference between AP and LD. Lucid Dreaming - While in a LD, you can change the world you are walking on, you can change the creatures, you can create other creatures, your arms and legs appear whole, and everything, and i mean literally everything, can be changed or created at your own will. Astral Projecting - The biggest difference, In AP, you wander the world we know today. You cannot change the form of what you walk on, what you fly with, what you encounter, and what you think cant just appear anywhere. When your in an AP, there are set things, that you cannot control. For example, other people walk around, and you cant make them turn around, or to do something you want them to. You cant make a being appear to be your best buddy, and expect it to stay there for ever when your in an AP. So for all you skeptics, when you try to AP, try to control everything. If you can, then hey your not AP'ng, if you cant, you have either a very low dream control rate, or your AP'ng. Another thing i find funny is the comment "You can create stuff, it appears and floats with you and walks with you and you can use it to your expense", and yes in some terms this is true. When your in your AP form, you are still able to think about what your doing, therfor your concious is still with you, and you can make things appear. But, notice that whatever you make apear shape shifts, and turns into something you didnt want it to be, then it just dissapears. Telekenisis Telekenisis is the Art of moving things with the brain, by disrupting the gravitational force around it. Everything has a gravitational force, and when you use Telekensis, you can manipulate that pull, and force the object you are using to move in any direction you want. You can even move yourself, in other words "levatating". There are two very different ideas on how Telekenisis works. 1) One way is that you manipulate the magnetic pull of an object. This means, that if you switch the polaritys of an object, you can force it to rise up, instead of down twards the earth. This can be examened in the experiments concerning water. You can force water to rise up, by switching its polarity. This will make the molecules join together, and force themselfs away from the ground. Then, they will rise up in bubbles. 2) You do not mess with polarity at all. In fact, you just disrupt the gravitational pull of things, such as stated in the opening paragraph. In order to induce Telekensis, you must follow some simple steps. First off, wingmakers states: With tk you can : move objects i.e. magazines, cups, etc. bend objects (spoons, forks, pencils etc.) you can make psi balls ( balls of energy) and throw them if your advanced you can: shut/open windows lock doors turn on lights hurl objects at people or at other things That is waht you can do with telekenisis. You might think, oh boy, i can pick on little kids by throwing rocks at them, without moving my arms. This certainly isnt the case. Only if you have a so called "pure heart" about learning the form of TK, can you induce it. You must want to induce TK for a reason that benifts yourself, but at no cost to anyone else. Again, wing makers says it best when you learn TK: Moving A Small Object Step One Charge your physical body with energy. Step Two Then place a stone in front of you. Step Three Then focus your eyes on the stone in front of you. Step Four Now close your eyes and visualize that stone in front of you. Step Five Then visualize that your energy is blending with the stone. Step Six Then focus your mind on moving the stone or cup to the left using the power of thought. Step Seven Then focus your mind on moving the stone or cup to the right using the power of thought. Step Eight Then focus your mind on moving the stone or cup back to the center using the power of thought. Step Nine Then focus your mind on moving the stone or cup towards you using the power of thought. Step Ten Now focus your mind on moving the stone or cup away from you using the power of thought. Step Eleven Then focus your mind on moving the stone or cup back to the center using the power of thought. Step Twelve Then in your own time open your eyes. Remember To do steps six to eleven a couple of times. Then if you want to try using another small object like a cup. Moving A Large Object Step One Charge your physical body with energy. Step Two Then place a chair in front of you. Step Three Then focus your eyes on the chair in front of you. Step Four Now close your eyes and visualize that chair in front of you. Step Five Then visualize that your energy is blending with the chair. Step Six Then focus your mind on moving the chair to the left using the power of thought. Step Seven Then focus your mind on moving the chair to the right using the power of thought. Step Eight Then focus your mind on moving the chair back to the center using the power of thought. Step Nine Then focus your mind on moving the chair towards you using the power of thought. Step Ten Now focus your mind on moving the chair away from you using the power of thought. Step Eleven Then focus your mind on moving the chair back to the center using the power of thought. Step Twelve Then in your own time open your eyes. Moving Your Visual Body/Astral Body Telekinesis of the astral body / visual body is a form of bi-location and is the ability of moving the astral body by will or thought. Above is an image of astral bi-location caught on flim and was one of the first telekinetic abilities I learned as a young child. Step One Charge your physical body with energy. Step Two Then close your eyes and see your visual body standing in front of you. Step Three Then visualize that your energy is blending with your visual body. Step Four Then move your visual body to the left using telekinesis and the power of thought. Step Five Then move your visual body to the right using the power of thought. Step Six Then move your visual body back to the center using the power of thought. Step Seven Then move your visual body backwards using telekinesis and the power of thought. Step Eight Then move your visual body forwards using the power of thought. Step Nine Then move your visual body back to the center. Remember To do steps four to nine a couple of times to get the hang of it. This is the visual portion. You must have a great visual mind in order to produce this. Next, wingmakers explains how to physically perform TK: Physical Techniques What Can You Do 1. What we do is have an accepting attitude. Believe it can happen. Everyone I ever taught this technique to and who was successful in bending a fork or spoon, had a POSITIVE attitude about it. They may not have believed they could do it but they did believe it was possible. That's a start for the proper frame of mind. Next, believe YOU can!! 2. Focus your attention. So many people say they are concentrating but in fact their minds are scattered and they aren't really into it at all. Be there. Learn to do only one thing at a time. This is difficult in the contexts of our society's established standards. There seems to be a badge of honor attached to being able to do 50 things at once. We somehow seem to derive worth from this. Well, it's unhealthy. It's what contributes to stress, anxiety, elevated blood pressure and even depression and a host of other "dis-eases". Don't get caught up in all that. It's not about how much you can do but how well you do. It's about quality not quantity. It's a fact that the brain can really only think of one think at a time. Work with the natural process of your brain. There is an inner dialogue going on that can be distracting and scattering the energy. There are many techniques that will teach you the discipline that is required for stilling the Mind and to help you learn what true concentration really is. I recommend meditation, or Qigong, Yoga, Tai Chi or any one of the contemplative arts as a viable form to enhance self discipline and awareness. 3. The Art of Stillness. Practice being still. Yes, actually, being still without thinking anything. Try it. All the masters have acquired this skill. They can actually, sit still and think of no-thing. This is why they are able to do the "mystical" manifestations that we see. Opening a lock with the wave of a hand, or seemingly walk about without being noticed. They know how not to cause ripples in the Universal Energy. They have mastered the Self. They truly can focus on one thing and only one thing at a time. The longer you can sit still and still your mind, the more available energy you have. It is in that discipline that teaches, patience, acceptance and unconditional being. This is a skill that will enhance every aspect of your life. It's a great way to enhance one's healing techniques as well. 4. Learn to "Let Go". As soon as something, whether it's an old bias, an old emotion, blouse, anything let go of it. Resolve things in your life as quickly as possible. It will unclutter your mind and your emotions will flow more evenly and smoothly. By learning to, "let go", we also learn to let go of preconceived out come, that is how we "think" it will turn out. If you can't let go then you are still trying to control it. If you are still trying to control things then you close off many pathways of personal and spiritual growth. Let things happen when appropriate to do so. 5. Remember the 'Law of Coalesce'? When you think on something it will attract like thoughts. 20 seconds of one pure thought attracts an equal amount of pure energy of the same resonance and quality. Each 20 mark increases a multiplies the energy. Can you imagine what you could manifest just by 2 minutes of pure unadulterated thought!!? This equation works equally for both types of thoughts, be the positive or negative in origin. Be mindful of what you think on or about. Every action you take was proceeded by a thought. What was the quality of yours? Those were some of the techniques that will help you open up to all your abilities. They are healthy guide lines for For further information on how to create PSI balls, and other luxury attributes to TK, visit the link posted in the links category. Akaishic Records Robert Bruce explains this the best: The Akashic Records These are found in the buffer zone between the astral and mental worlds, part astral part mental and, in a way, extending into all levels. They are a record of every thought and event that has ever occurred, like a huge, infinite, mental history, picture book. The Akashic records also contain probabilities stemming from, and created by, past events, actions and thoughts. This is like looking into the future. To make any kind of sense of the Akashic records yourself, some skill in clairvoyance is a definite help. If you tune into the Akashic records yourself you will normally see those events with the greatest amount energy around them. Wars and disasters are the easiest to see because of this. The energy surrounding these events make them stand out above all the rest, making them easier to see. If you look into the future, the area of probabilities, you enter into a confusing maelstrom of symbolism mixed with actual events. This future symbolism is caused by the belief systems of the major religions. Millions of people in the world have believed in some form of prophecy for thousands of years. Whether it is the Bible's "Book of Revelations" or the prophecies of Nostradamus. These ancient prophecies are all richly steeped in symbolism. This symbolism affects the way people think and dream about the future. This symbolism, in turn, manifests in the Akashic records as symbolic representations of future events. The symbolism is a big help, it makes consulting the Akashic records easier. You can use the Akashic symbolism as an index. For example, the reference below to "The Dogs of War" is easily understandable as representing war. The "Grim Reaper" is a universal symbol of death and destruction. So, if you are interested in this kind of future event you tune into this symbolic index for WAR, then browse through the category of past and future wars. Apart from some clairvoyant ability, a knowledge of history, geography, religious symbolism, current affairs world leaders and heads of state is a big help; when indexing past and future events. For example, in the future vision I give below: If I had known WHO the well known person I saw addressing a crowd below WAS, and recognised the country; I could have made an accurate prediction of future events instead of being wise, AFTER the event. I entered the state of consciousness called the Akashic records. There I was inundated with a mass of symbolism. I was seeing in four dimensions at once. My conscious mind did not assimilate this very well. I saw wars, famines, plagues, disasters, earthquakes, volcanoes erupting, plane crashes, murders, etc, it was terribly confusing and depressing. I saw one piece of symbolism I recognised though and tuned into it, indexed it. The Grim Reaper holding The Dogs of War (as described by various prophets) These dogs were fearsome beasts with Red eyes and slavering jaws. They were held in check by this hooded figure, with an evil skull for a face, carrying a sickle. He released these dogs as I watched, symbolising a coming war. Tuning into this scene, I was there floating above it all, I could feel the sunshine and smell the city below me. I saw a man standing on a raised dais, under two giant scimitar swords. He was giving a charismatic speech to many thousands of people. One of the swords turned into a Christian Crusader's broad sword. The man was Saddam Hussein, the scene was in Baghdad, at the monument to the unknown soldier. I saw this six months before the Gulf war started. I did not learn WHO Saddam Hussein WAS, or WHERE this scene took place though, until it was televised during the gulf war. Looking through the Akashic records is like leafing through an infinite mental photo album. You are bombarded with an awesome array of the sights and sounds of past, present and probable futures. You have to select one of these thought records, tune into it and enter it. You will then live through the record as if you were really there, watching it as it happens. Consulting with the Akashic records can be done alone if you have the skill, but is normally done with the assistance of an advanced being from a higher level of existence. This is done as a sort of telepathic guided tour. The enormous amount of information and chaff is filtered out for you and the selected record, of past events or future probability, is presented to you clairvoyantly, via a telepathic link with the... librarian. Some people claim to have entered the Akashic Records and found something like a library there, with real books. The past, present and future was recorded as text in these books. Some people even say they have read a record, then entered into it, and experience the record first hand. All these claims are consistent with the Akashic Records. These are librarian assisted guided tours, where the Akashic Records have been presented as something familiar, easy to use and easy to accept. Telepathy I have no record on Telepathy, maybe someone can help here? 2012 Theorys Sigh, the age old 2012 Theorys. Simply put, 2012 is the supposed end of the world. This is a 50/50 agreement however, as most people agree otherwise. December 12th, 2012 is the mark of the end of the Mayan Calender. It has been said that they stopped the Calender here to conclude the end of the world, or to simply start the entire Calender over again. Many stories have been brought forth, my personal opinion? I think that time will be disrupted. This is the mark of the winter solstice, and also when the earth begins to rotate the oposite way on its wobble point. Then, i believe that the first time machine will have been made, and because of the fact you can only go back in time up to a point of a time machine, we will be getting many visits from our children, and there children, and pretty much south of our family tree. I dont believe however, that the world will end. Legends and Myths of the waking world I dont have many of these yet, but i hope to grow in this section. The only myth and legend i can think of is the Sphinx. It is quite ironic how at 10,500bc, the sphinx pointed directly at its symobl - LEO the lion. This was marked at East. Also at this time, the stars of orion matched the pyramids of Gaiza. The water erosion on the sphinx determins that it was around when alot of rain fall had been happening. This excludes the desert and the Egyptians making the Sphinx. So, back in 10,500bc, where water was abundant, the sphinx may had been built. Scientists are still looking back at this, however. The Universe itself A huge theory of the Universe popped onto the front cover of my Universe magazine this morning. The universe is shaped irregular. From what scientists believe, there is a big cluster of universes much like our own, all stuck into one. Then, the universes stick out of the sides to form protruding bumps. Our universe however, is a very large protruding bump, that is about 5x the size of the rest of the universes combined. Star Constellations I will post more here when i have more time. This is going to be a big subject. The Theory of The Matrix[/U] The thoery of the Matrix, is not only a movie. It is a real life thing that some people claim to be living in. It is the fact that we are not in the real world, but in some computer orientated world that we know as reality. Watch the movie, The Matrix, and you will get a good understanding. Even though the movie is brought to the extremes, it is still somewhat accurate according to some people. Personally, i dont believe in this. The Theory of the Super Human or - The One This also is going to be a big subject. I will fill this in later FAQ About all of the above This will be filled in by you guys. If you guys post a question, i will post it here. That way, everyone will know the answer. This is still in construction, but Oneironaut has agreed to help edit this post for me, when i have the information to put in certain fields. But for now, Everyone please post questions and edits to help make this thread a really good tutorial!

[dragonoverlord]

Good idea. Its about time.

[Riot Maker]

I agree, i think the large majority here at dv would benefit from it.

[wer]

Good idea. Maybe I'll get around to writing a tutorial.

[C911]

Basicly, if anyone, and i mean taht lol, anyone has a worthy tutorial or even a suggestion, say it. I will most definatly put it into the tutorial above, and maybe we can make this one a huge Beyond Dreaming Tutorial, for all the new guys coming in. If anyone has any techniques that they use and know are truthful techniques, please be sure to post them. This will need alot of work.

[LucidFlanders]

Can you make a little link click for the thread? so when you click it, a new page finds it right away. 1 - OBE 2 - AP 3 - Telepathy etc. Make the OBE, AP, Telepathy clickable so we don't have to scroll all the way down if we don't want to. Makes things much easier, especially if this will be really long and massive tutorials. Some walkthroughs have this.

[C911]

I can definatly try. Also, if your looking for a fast way through, press Ctrl+F, and type in what you want to find, and it will give it to u.

[juroara]

I havent read the giant first post yet, I had a question though can you include reasons why someone should be interested in OBEs or APs?? In the belief of OBEs and APs you are essentially, truly leaving your body - implying your consciousness can be separate from the body - a soul. this then also brings up to mind, to a lot of people, that while in an OBE or AP you can interact with other astrals/spirits/beings not in flesh. this again, brings to mind to people that OBEs or APs arent safe spiritually speaking? so for a spiritual person, what are some benefits of either? have people used OBEs in the past to connect to a higher consciousness? God, The One, the universe (take your pick)

[C911]

Well, i cant edit the post without having O or Ame or another mod do it for me, but once i get enought stuff wrote up i will have them edit it. But for now, i can answer your questions. If you read the post, it really doesnt say why its good to be out, just the dangers. (if i even put those in? Lol i dont know for sure...). But i will explain exactly why i got into AP, and why i love it so much. The reason i started, was to meet a girl. Lol that sounds sad, but in order to meet a celebrity that could care less about fans, you have to go a different approach. I tried everything i could think of, but then i just started to rely on AP. Now, i am working on being able to teleport and travel to her, but its still not something i have been able to complete, and im still after the same thing. Some other things that you can do, well pretty much anything. To answer your first question, Can you include reasons why someone should be interested in OBEs or APs? I can. Everytyhing takes practice, just like in the real world, but here are some examples, that with enough practice anyone can do. You can travel to the edge of the universe, or atleast attempt to. You can study the planets, and find new planets along with other stars. You can travel at the speed of light, and make theorys truth or non truth. You can go anywhere in the real world, since your Astral body is the only thing that is out, you can walk through walls, and fly as high as high as you want. You can explore places that were currently un able for you to explore. You can do as i do, and try to meet other people. You can meet up with other people that are in the AP, and interact with them as much as you would like. There is even Astral Sex, which people have claimed to be even more enjoyable than LD sex and Real Sex. You can actually go into the future, and the past, and see what will happen and what wont. Robert Bruce has a weird experience. While he was in AP (and i havent experienced this yet), he felt a wind. This wind then blew so hard that it blew him up into the air, and he landed on a street infront of his house. Next, he saw a brick wall, and a broken fridge. Then, he saw from his house that his wife was running out crying and he was standing there with a smirk on his face. (I havent read this in a while, so if i stated something wrong, understand that its very close to what he stated). This is an unusual occurence, that tells you what will happen. After a couple of years, he broke his fridge and put it out on his porch. After this, his wife and himself started to have problems, and it eventually ended his marrige. The brick wall meant soemthing was going to happen to him that he couldnt stop, the fridge was a sign of this something happening, and the smirk on his face was how he was suppose to feel when it happened. Again i might have changed some things, but if you look on roberts site you can find the true account of what happened. Pretty much the possibilitys are endless. If you try hard enough, you can do what ever you want to do. Your next question: this then also brings up to mind, to a lot of people, that while in an OBE or AP you can interact with other astrals/spirits/beings not in flesh. this again, brings to mind to people that OBEs or APs arent safe spiritually speaking? People that go AP are safe, to a point. You have to watch out. There are things such as Succumbi and Night walkers, and blah blah many things. Quite simply enough, if you cause trouble to someone (i.e. Give someone a night mare, or attack another entity that is about the world), then bad things will happen to you. Negative energy attracts other neggative energy. If your safe, and just do things that you intented to do, you wont get hurt. So dont worry about AP, it wont hurt you if you dont hurt it. so for a spiritual person, what are some benefits of either? have people used OBEs in the past to connect to a higher consciousness? God, The One, the universe (take your pick) I however, am not a really spiritual person. I believe that there was a "creator" of sorts taht started the universe cycle, but from there, from what i have seen, i dont know for sure. This is just me though, i am not bashing religion. But, if there is a God out there, im sure you could contact him through AP. It would be probably extremly hard, and i could offer no advice on how to do it, but you might just be able to. To answer your question about other people doing it in the past... to tell you the truth i cant tell. I havent heard of anyone doing it, but maybe. I cant say no, because i have no clue. The One actually is just a belief like a religion. There is said to be "The One" who is all extremely over powerful and such. After i edit the first post, you will find out more about it. To contact the Universe? I dont know what you mean exactly. If you mean contact the creator of the universe, then the answer is above this. If you mean contacting the Universe itself, then i can tell you that you are part of the universe itself. You would have to restate your answer, for me to answer it correctly. I hope this helps.

[juroara]

thanks for insights! and when I say spiritual, I mean just that, not religious anyways the other night I tried out some of the techniques - no AP yet but it did induce a lucid dream, so thats at least a bonus. my personal problem is the meditating part - my mind cant sit still for more than seven seconds *I know I counted*

[C911]

Hahaha, well this takes lots of time. In fact, im still working on it, and ive been at it for half a year. If you go at a technique though, and you see first off that it doesnt work, get a different relaxation technique. But, if you stick with one for a long time, dont vary away from it, keep on the same one. Unless it absolutly fails, it will be harder to transition then it will be to precise your technique.

[Xaqaria]

Whats the problem with leaving any tutorial on these subjects in here? I think threads of this nature being put in the tutorial section would give new members who don't know much about lucid dreaming an over stated sense of their validity. I'm not necessarily saying that these things are definitely untrue or impossible, but the fact is that there is absolutely no evidence for them; yet there is plenty of evidence for lucid dreaming. To showcase the unverified paranormal/metaphysical next to valid techniques is extremely misleading.

[Rainman]

No offense to beggining people, who are just venteruing into the AP and OBE fields of study... Hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaa. Hahahaha. I am in 100% agreement with Xaqaria. Beyond dreaming materials belong in the beyond dreaming section. Period. I believe in most of the concepts discussed here, but I am also skeptical with about 90% of the stories here. Either way, putting any of this in the tutorials section would just start the typical, redundant, and to put it most accurately- stupid debate between "what's real and what's not". There are enough ignoramouses in the beyond dreaming forum, let's not spread the insanity to an actual well-constructed forum. It would start way too much controversy with the skeptics. No. Leave beyond dreaming topics in the beyond dreaming forum. = that's why this forum was created.

[Riot Maker]

create a subforum with the title "tutorials". That way it's still in beyond dreaming.

[Rainman]

Actually that's a really good idea.

[C911]

I agree. This is actually a Lucid Dreaming website with a side forum for other stuff. So, i think we should actually make a side stuff forum, for certain thigns like tutorials.

[LucidFlanders]

This, and the religion forum are the only stuff for this "wacky land", the "zomg heavens reel...ZNO ITZ NOT!!!!", the "Paranormal", the "fantasy land", the 'mystical things", the "other" things not related to dreaming.
