Introduction
Hello, welcome to my attempt to help you to understand and have your own personal experiences with on OBE, this term will be explored throughout the body of this text.
There have been many questions asked of me about the function and purpose of this powerful experience. During this essay I will attempt to walk you through parts and wholes of this matter.
1. What is OBE?
For several centuries the magical mysteries have struck awe in the life of magicians and explorers of the human spirit and the human condition. At points in time our world changes as does the knowledge that we bear. One of the most misunderstood is the FUNCTION of awareness. Awareness is by definition the pentacle of motion and seeing, not noticed in another state, conscience, or unconscious, or even forced state.
We all know and face the fact the death is a part of our cycle in nature, and in other definitions or next way of life. So by all means OBE is an active way to study the human-spirit experience. Out of Body Experience, is not difficult to imagine as its name is lengthened. What in the hell would a man or women want out of their body? Well I tell you,
Great secrets lay far beyond our comfort, and understanding.
2. The Change from Flesh, to Spirit Body.
When our body dies we all know nothing living can remain. We also know that what was can really never die, unless the conditions are correct. Now if magicians are explorers we would choose to do what humans do naturally; explore. There are ways to penetrate this present purpose of awareness. To achieve to spirit needs to go to where spirit is.
Out of the body while still breathing! Our flesh bodies are equipped with mechanisms that allow us to do this naturally. If any one has ever meditated or waken in the middle of the night conscious but paralyzed you know will that you are in a vulnerable state and you also know that it is even weirder to be like this! This is one of the mechanisms needed to separate from the body, a conscious mind. The next items go together; knowing that you are in control, knowing that you are secure, and being prepared to exit to another reality.
3. How to leave.
Relax on your bed or somewhere that you have the feeling of complete control. Take advantage of the presence of another person that is close to you. Tell him/her that they are to comfort you by running their fingers through their hair and face, relaxing, feeling lighter and lighter, you will hear science that a light buzzing in your mind is coming slowly as you relax the buzz increases finely the buzz will be even more intense and you will be so relaxed.
Your heart rate will be stable and your body temperature will rise and you will feel peaceful then you will hear a swoosh as your mind separates from you and you will sit up and then be lifted from your body like a puppet on string.
Now what happens from here is to know some very important information. While you are out of your body the room maybe dark or without light, I have been my experience that light will be provided from your crown. I too wondered why there was light when the room was very dark. I moved my head back and forth wondering where in the light was coming from. Relax, it comes from you.
When you move you feel as you walk, in some instances you do. I haven’t bothered to look at my feet. None the less you are free to move along, pass thru walls and stick your hands thru window panes. Don’t worry, relax remember you are in control and your body is safe. No worries only your intent.
There are several things that you can do as well as several places that you can go. But getting there is another matter. In this mode you know that you want certain things but have no clue as to how you are going to get there. I am here to tell you, have a goal before you leave the body. If you have never walked the astral planes such as my self then you should know that in order to get there you need to gate yourself. In order to gate yourself you need to use not your stomach or emotions; this will boot you straight to panic! Instead you need to use the very powerful and capable mind that you carried with you. Willing, will travel!
4. Astral Viewing
There is another ability that can be learned, it is called astral viewing. This is seeing the realms without leaving the body. First there needs to be some further learning. Astral viewing requires a person to be able to SEE or be familiar with spirit sight. This is by far the safer of the two but I would tend to have to say the least dramatic. Astral viewing on the other hand is a powerful tool.
It has been my experience that there is also a not to documented ability that goes with viewing and that is the ability to find! When you find you are like a heat seeking bullet traveling to a destination only with the power of thought and knowing that you will end up at that target. Say that you want to find an object in astral you name that object and your mind will actively seek it stopping at all possible locations where the object could be located.
Not only are you able to find, but you are able to travel long distances in astral and travel near. Being adept in this technique will take you to the elemental planes, the planes of the Fae, dragons and other desirable destinations.
5. Meditation, and its relation to Projection.
Astral viewing, and astral projection a proper name for OBE, should for the most part be accompanied by meditation. The meditation is basic, in the understanding in is happening before you perform these functions. When you sit cross-legged and prepare yourself for a visual trip you notice almost immediately that your body grows heavy and your body heat rises. These are the first steps to achieving your goal, preparation. During your mediation you want to visualize or you will find it quite boring. Get your self peaceful Celtic mix or waves by the sea tape to help you to relax and put your self into a mild trance. Below for your convenience is a table of the chakras both Greek and Hindu. They will be of use to you when you learn to control your chakras. Especially in astral viewing.
