Thread: Xanous' Workbook

Just a quick thought...

I think Monroe's Technique is a good one but it seems to really be messing me up lately. I've been hitting WILD with no vibrations and I end up waisting the dream by waiting for the vibrations to happen. For me there are two types of WILD. One where the dream just forms around me and one where I go through more SP like sensations and have an "OBE". Monroe really seemed to put a lot of importance to the vibrations to the point that it makes one think the vibrations are absolutely necessary. That's really the wrong way to go about it all. It's just noise Robert! However, I like the way his technique forces focus and intention but the vibrations are not that important. I may tweak this a little or just go back to Laberges twin bodies method. Really, it's good for me to have more than one method to rotate around or I become bored with it and it loses it effectiveness.

Also, I've been thinking about the reality of OBE's. I think there is the possibility of gathering waking life information from within the dream state but OBE's really just seem to be dreams to me. Even the few accounts I read of Robert Monroe's seemed to fit perfectly with what I know about dreams and contradict the reality of OBEs. I guess the illusion is just so strong for some people that they actually believe they are leaving the body. I suppose technically any non physical experience would be "out of body". but I just can't see any of this as literal. Still, I'm going to continue the card experiment for a while. I think with time I will get better at predicting the correct card. Should be lot's of fun!
