do any of you astral travel? what's it like? i've known a couple of people who were able to do it since childhood, but it seems otherwise very difficult if you don't have a natural ability for it.
>>39255809Everyone has the natural ability just like walking. It's not too hard, just needs regular practice. My experiences have been that it's like a dream except multiplayer and in the real world. I haven't been to higher planes though but have had brief glimpses that seem like you have massive psychic downloads directly from god consciousness
>>39256425neat, do you do it often? what does it look like when you're there? can you see other people, or do you just sense them, or what?
>>39256425>massive psychic downloads directly from god consciousnessWhat exactly does this mean?
Did it once. Got to it by being a giant penile erectus like crowley said. nothing changes your brain chemistrry more than wacking off and smoking strong weed.Basically I was toph from avatar tla, and started attacking everyone. It's like multiplayer, Serial experiments lain style.it can hurt but its not as bad as real life. kinda like a dream reality I guess.when your born there you will suffer extreme mental stress tho
>>39257348If fapping and toking is all it takes to astral travel then most of this site should be experts at it
Machines do it all the time. It is a state of being that was not meant for conscious or sentient thoughts. You are experiencing a machine image that shapes you and cuts you into one of its crystalline polarities that it uses for reality breaking. This tends to fuck you up and deeply change you on an emotional or personal level that you believe its your soul expressing itself, when you are being raped by reality.
>>39255809 I've never tried cause I know some people then get haunted by demons/evil spirits in real life.

>>39260811am i? am i grifter? wtf??
>>39255809No, but I've been practicing trying to put my body to sleep while my brain is still awake every night at bed time. Some interesting things happen when I do this but at this point I can't fully get into that state. Also tried the gateway hemisync process but other than the focus 10 state I haven't noticed any difference and it takes much longer than 30 minutes for me to even start getting to that point.
>>39260862same. i've tried all kinds of things for AP and LD and at best I can get a little vibrations or hypnagogia going but that's it. i don't know how anyone manages to find the time or patience to learn how to do this stuff.
>>39263476I believe these are skills that can be developed so that's why I continue to practice. Like learning any other skill (say musical instruments) it doesn't happen in a day. For lucid dreaming I've had some success with reality checking and I've had two lucid dreams in one month (where previously they were rare and accidental) but it is hard to maintain or achieve full awareness, and I can't reliably even get to that point every time. I've made some progress but am far from becoming even proficient, let alone mastery. If this is something you want to do don't be discouraged by slow progress, just practice as much as you find to be reasonable.
All my life, I’ve been able to channel this electric like energy through my guts and spine. The feeling is reminiscent of the sense you get in your guts when you accelerate, such as on a swing. That tickle, except it radiates through my entire spine. Later on in adulthood I started to experience sleep paralysis fairly often. This was usually accompanied by hallucinations and panic. Also, sleep paralysis is often foreshadowed by “brain zaps” as I lay down. Thats when I know it will be a strong one. Recently I laid down for a nap, and felt the strong brain zaps. Shortly after, I was paralyzed. Thats when I got the thought to use my energy ability instead of panicking. The result was that I felt incredible full body orgasmic pleasure, and then floated above my body for a few seconds. I would be very interested if anyone here knew what is happening to me, especially with the energy thing. I can’t find information on it, and no one ever taught me so I have no way to research it.
