Robert, Greetings from rainy England!

I have a quick question:

I've been listening to some of your archived radio interviews recently and in one you mentioned that when leading group AP classes you would often see your students, who had originally intended to keep their projections to a short 10 or 20 seconds, get out of their body and then abandon this plan and go exploring - thus forgetting the entire projection experience. Is this common, and how would you program yourself to make sure that your double keeps it's end of the bargain and comes back after the agreed time?!

I am wondering if this is what's happening to me, as I often will meditate/trance until full body vibrations come on, at which point I will either try to 'coax' them and use some exit techniques or I will try to be completely passive and do nothing in an attempt to 'let something happen'. Unfortunately whatever I do seems to lead to the same outcome.. the vibrations will continue for a minute or so, increasing in intesity, then reach a peak and then suddenly in about 5-10 seconds reduce to nothing, leaving me calmly back in trance again. Frustrating! Do you think that I am projecting and not remembering it? I certainly intend to take your advice and keep a projection short - but hearing what you said about your students, how can I be sure that I'm not projecting and then abandoning this intention? Is there any way to make sure I stick to the plan? Also any other advice in general?... I feel the answer may be practice, practice, practice!

I really appreciate you giving your time freely to your forum members here - thanks!
