Questions about Mind-Split theory

[Astral_Ace]

To start off I would like to say I have yet to experience a conscious exit OBE. Although I have had 2 minor lucid dream to semi-conscious (equivilent to a memory while drunk) projections into the RTZ, also I am relitively new to such esoteric/spiritual concepts so bare with me.

According to RB's Mind-Split theory projecting into the RTZ or other such place is experienced by our other subtle bodies or higher selves ?

Are these events and phenomena not experienced first hand by what would be called the waking or base level of consciousness or by rather a copy of our consciousness ?

So by the Mind-Split logic I lay in my bed or sit on a chair and a copy of me is out learning spiritual truths or having fun flying around or doing whatever ?

It seems disappointing only to download the memories and remember what was experienced but actually experience it, like knowing how delicious a meal was but not actually tasting it.

When I first read about Astral Projection I thought of it in the way of our consiousness temperarily leaving our bodies to experience the unknown as in a old fasioned deep sea diver jumping off a boat into the water but connected to the surface by a oxigen line.

Maybe it's deep seeded Atheist logic or just my N00bness, but any insight into this would be appreciated.

In astral projection you leave your body and "stay at home", but the way the brain works only one copy is stored at a time.

Do not confuse this with the concept of the Higher Self, or projection in other planes.

If you want to have a more immediate, "non-exit" experience, take a look at the concept of "phasing" as well in the Monroe subforum. CFTraveller has summarised info from a thread there that describes how one can switch consciousness directly without a felt exit.

Take good care,

Yes, with phasing, awareness follows the projection in real time. Multiple sensory input streams make it perhaps a bit trickier in some aspects but there is no memory integration problem.
