How many pints are you?

Following is an analogy on how consciousness is stretched between your physical body/mind and its dream and OBE projected aspects.

Your own higher self creates memorable experiences, sometimes even scary ones, to ensure they are remembered.

When this starts happening, even as a child, there is a higher self training program at work.

This is not a choice, although we can tune them out to some extent, as many do.
The old saying 'many are called but few are chosen' springs to mind here.

As for your point of consciousness transferring, this does not happen in a 3D way. The physical body mind is never left empty. The power of your consciousness is divided between the number of copies of you existing at any one time.

Imagine a flow of consciousness fluid between you and your subtle aspects.
The power invested in any aspect depends upon the level of consciousness one is capable of achieving.

When one has more, others have less. When your physical body is fully conscious, little is left to animate your subtle aspects. So, if you have an OBE and are still conscious in your physical body mind, the projected double is operating on limited resources, usually not enough to form a strong and recallable memory.

Imagine that your physical body mind contains 10 pints of consciousness. When your dream mind becomes active, this takes 2 as you sleep.

8 pints are left, often unused.

If you become lucid in your dream state, more pints are appointed to your dream mind.

But when your projected double becomes active, this will also take what it can get.
Normally, it only gets 1 or 2 pints, and this does not allow full coherence and memorable experiences. You wander the astral half asleep, and often falling asleep there.

The work we are doing here in PAPI is to develop certain aspects of our consciousness to divert more pints into the projected double, or into the dream mind so we can become more lucid.

Your higher self helps nudge this along with phenomena and memorable obe experiences. Some are scary, as this is the only way higher self can create a memorable OBE or dream experience.

With time and practice, all things being equal, more and more pints transfer into the dream and OBE aspects.

Eventually, a full 10 pints diverts into the dream mind or the obe mind, at your discretion.

With further evolution, more than 10 pints become available. You may one day have 100 pints at your disposal, as you develop.

Then you will start to become more and more conscious, in physical, dream, and OBE states.

In your physical body mind, you will start to be more conscious, more in the flow, more in the NOW.

There is a natural process of evolution at work here, and the work we do here in PAPI encourages this.

You are all here for a reason.

Note: If you have read earlier works on OBE, including Franz Bardon's books, you will find a firm belief presented that consciousness must be transferred into the projected double for a full astral projection to occur. This is said to leave the physical body mind empty, an empty shell.

The above is an obvious assumption, but my work on the mind split refutes this, and is demonstrable and repeatable.
