After a long sequence of delays, I was finally able to get to part 2 today--and was rewarded with an odd experience. It happened just as I went from trance to using the rope technique. What I felt was as if all my energy was going to my front upper torso, and was trying to pull away. I felt my consciousness moving and felt similar to feeling that one gets when about to pass out (although I was breathing normally, so I know it wasn't that). So was this an almost-projection? Perhaps just a maybe-getting-close-to-projection experience? Or just some strange energy sensation?
