Previous Thread: https://archived.moe/x/thread/42622000/#42622000Aggregated OOBP Resource List: https://pastebin.com/v8dBCLhNAlright fuck sorry im so late with making a new thread it was the weekend and i genuinely didnt expect this to take off like that, anyways in this thread discuss any out of body phenomena you have experienced(including Astral Projection, Lucid Dreaming, Remote Viewing, etc.) and check the aggregated resources if you are interested in learning more. dont be asinine about this stuff this is just my little hobby that im just trying to advocate for and share with other people. still working on digitally scanning some literature that i have to make my own mega. also check if i missed anything from previous thread. feel free to share other resources you may think will be helpful.
The technique I always use for astral projection:>lay down, turn off the light, close your eyes>visualize what you’d see if your eyes were open>pilot your visualization to get up and turn around>observe yourself still laying downOnce you get good at that you can move on to the more advanced stuff, like flying and remote viewing.For lucid dreaming, one technique I used to get started was writing notes to myself all over my room that said “are you sleeping?” I made it a point to notice them, especially during emotional moments. Eventually, I recognized them in my dream and usurped control
I noticed that it's easier to get into the correct conditions to astral project when you lay on your back but here's the problem I have each time I get to the paralysis stage my mind just can't bothered by it and I wiggle my toes to get out of it.When I am in that state how do I actually AP?
>>42744946Creating an automatic reaction to paralysis using the body will become a habit more like an instinct. You will need to overcome the habit first, but then, use visualization to break paralysis instead. For example, use a few meditative sessions to visualize lightning striking your body and energizing, then anytime you want to leave you visually conjure lightning to transport you back.
>>42745348Here's the thing when I am in that state I don't really see entities other then maybe hearing some made up music, the thing is when I'm in that state I just get very fustrated thinking I just wanna sleep because i'm so tired haha.However one time when I tried to just sit up, I did feel the sensation of falling off not sure if it's me astral projecting but failing. So next time when I'm in the state I should ignore foot wiggles and just think/visualize lighting strike and then leave body?
>>42745425You need to build a strong connection to the visualization. So you need enter the hypnotic state and visualize lightning energizing you. Think warmth and energy as it pulses through each body part going slow at first, Then speed it up each session until you can get the warmth and energetic sensation to pass through your body instantly when you visualize the lightning. Once you reach the instant sensation point, then you can try for OBE again. And yes, at that point you should have gotten rid of foot wiggles as your way of escape.If you're having trouble with OBE. You should probably learn more about trance and hypnotic states, but generally, you can do these deep states by trying to think about multiple things at once and multiple stimuli to tax the brain before focusing on one thing with the same intensity.
>>42745531Also a general question I want to astral project because I want to visit akashic library to seek more knowledge and to see my future i.e find out who my soulmate or twinflame (more likely I sense) because I've been subtly manifesting this for years now?Are there any other cool stuff to do while AP other then the usual exploring realms and earth in specator mode?
>>42745558I haven't tried gaining access to the akashic library. I usually try to spot areas around me and interact with them. I have pretty limited success with environment manipulation pulling out a drawer in my kitchen while my body is in my bed, so I may not be all that powerful or even fully committed to the existence of other places people have claimed to have gone. I'm pretty convinced I moved it a little like a 1/4 inch because I shut it tight and it had a little crack after my session, but what I perceived OBE was that it was open all the way. There is definitely not consistent progress on my end. I am just well versed in hypnotic states, and just beginning to explore the ESP side of it.
>>42745646Ahh, this might explain hauntings for some people, it's probably astral projectors just ragebaiting hahaha
>>42744834wanna add my two cents, that robert bruce and robert monroe books are very good reads. something else that can be helpful, but not directly related, would be "psychic development for beginners by william w hewitt". by understanding what he has to say, and doing some of his mental exercises, you can gain better control of your brain, which can effect your OBEs. even if you dont want to do his specific exercises, once you understand the mechanics of it all, you can develop your own exercises. also, by understanding these mechanics, and getting more experience, it can help your mediation.

>>42745875forgot: open-slum.org is a listicle site, organizing mirror sites, for free ebooks. get some.
>>42745880not quite what this thread is about but thank you for the meme and the bump
>>42745882just use anna's archiveIt's been around forever.
>>42746047annas intermittently goes offline. along with libgen. they all do.annas has many mirror sites, and instead of trial and error, that one site lists many, and shows which is online.
I started having caffeine again, specifically coffee, after 2 whole years caffeine-free, as a result I've been having difficulty sleeping lately but also been having increased OBE symptoms and half-conscious OBEsit happened again this morning where I astrally woke up and just made out with my fox in bed for like 20 minutes (･ω･;) ...then I just got yanked away into one of those half-lucid nightmares again about random shitI wonder if re-caffeinated me would have less difficulty doing conscious OBEs now.I haven't entered deep trance and tried since before I fell off the wagon again
>>42744834i have no idea where to ask it but could you recomend me some books about hypnosis? or point me to a right thread?
>>42746096
>>42746558hey microdick, you explicitly opened the thread to OBE stories, you don't get to pull the "blogposting reeee" card when a particular story isn't to your liking
>>42746520not op, but this is a good place to start. he uses non woo-woo language, but be very careful messing around with hypnosis. i would read about other peoples experiences, both good and bad, before trying anything. self preparation, before starting is important.
>>42746626to ba fair i mostly do this to DEFEND myself from attempts at hypnosion towards meso i fugired out i will read how this works to understand how to defend myselfalso i have read that some of these books hypnotize you so you won't abuse it, is this true?
>>42746626>>42746655also thanks
>>42746655if youre being honest, then yes, i agree with what you are saying. (mental defence).if this is your focus, then i would also try another book by robert bruce, practical psychic defence. as for your last point, while im sure there are things out there as youve described, imho these books do not fit that description. i.e. in william hewitts book, he actually addresses this, and refuses to teach anything that could be used in a harmful way. same goes for robert bruce. imho the vibe i get from his books, is that he just wants to share good info.now, say if i read mein kampf, will i become a nazi? no, because i have free will, and i do not make decisions out of fear. this is just the basics, but remember, dont write yourself off. from what i understand, its actually quite difficult to hypnotize someone against their will. now, subliminal messaging etc is different, but again, depending on how you are mentally, will drastically change how effective it can be. what im trying to say is, there is nothing to fear, but fear itself
>>42746675cheers my dude. i hope you find peace.
>>42744834Pretty damn late OP, I was about to fuck off waiting and make my own. Also if I might say so, quite shit OP, even if the resource list might be useful, but we can tackle that later.I also waiting to post, had a fairly weird experience on sunday night, I was hangover and pretty much wasted the day, jacked off and went to bed.Then I had a dream that I was having an OOBE, like I was in my sleeping and the vibrations hit, but somewhat felt different, I then managed to detach but not quite and still wasn't fully aware. Then I went back and sort woke inside the dream, but it was weird, it was like an alternate version of my apartment but weird and familiar at the same time, there was a single old style TV sitting by the end of the wall, and then I looked at the window and there was a bunch a people in the weird complex, and I also felt like my brother and farther were there somewhere, though at the same time it wasn't like I was there but like I was seeing still pictures of such place.I then came out of it and realized I had awaken inside of a dream, it took me a while to realize "oh right this is my actual apartment".Bizarre, I guess I had awaken in awareness while deep in sleep, maybe actually OOBE or perhaps astral traveled somewhere and then came back to a dream.
>>42745875>something else that can be helpful, but not directly related, would be "psychic development for beginners by william w hewitt".Sounds interesting, can you be more specific what it is about? Also care to share it or a link?>>42746626Is this the same one?one of the books I've read mentions the hypnagogic state as suitable for self-hypnosis, as in, for planting affirmations and whatnot for manifestation.
>>42746558file name is simple but still got a kek outta me
>>42747976not to be rude, but its exactly what it sounds like. it helps you gain more control of you mind. it starts at the beginning, and uses very clear language. its not crystal ball type stuff. just skim through it, and see. atleast just look at table of contents. but i suggest quickly skimming it, to form your own opinion.as for links, open-slum.org is a listicle site that aggregates mirror sites for free ebooks. go there, choose a site and download books to your hearts content.
>>42747976even if you dont want to read it, because youre worried im, like, trying to trick you somehow, then atleast google it. as for techniques, im not getting into that. whatever techniques you want to learn, for whatever purposes, thats for you.
>>42748058>because youre worried>>42748039>but its exactly what it sounds likeNot sure what you were getting at, but no, I'm not afraid, I was just trying to get a feel on what the contents of the book are (and what does it offer).I'm just tight on time and still have a fairly big backlog of books to read and kind have to filter on what I give my attention to right now.But you're right, later when I come back I check it and give a quick skim to check it out.
