It may be that we can't really know for sure, but i'm leaning more towards OBE being a form of lucid dream as you have already said. Seems to me OBEs occur in your mind just like dreams do. Sure we...
Not too sure where i was told to try this, probably at some point on these forums. Apart from concentration/awareness practice the best advice i've gotten so far for retention/longevity has been to...
I think recognizing that you have shut off your thoughts can set you back into a state of thought but not always. There may be times when the clarity has a quality that operates almost as if it is...
Hi allie,
The touching part is a tactile hallucination. At least it sounds like a pleasant one! I've had some not so nice tactile hallucinations while projecting that were not as pleasant and were...
Not all claims are created equal. It's not so much looking to have claims justified as valid or invalid but rather whether or not you are willing to accept one as reasonable to believe with lack of...
We can't really prove anything in the end though right? We can make make approximations of what we think will most likely happen based on what we know(knowledge as a subset of belief).
I could show...
I've recently re-discovered Eckhart Tolle. He is pretty dern good at showing people how to let go.
You can see what Eckhart calls "presence", kick in at around 5:10, for the individual that ET is...
I don't know if anyone is ever really forced to kill. If you are in a position to do so there will be a choice at some point. I could see how killing when faced with a predator could be justified....
I have found that energy work/meditation has increased my tolerance for alcohol consumption. I believe this is because i am better able to manage "altered states" as a result/by-product.
There has...
A friend of mine sent me this today and it reminded me of noticing the moments between thoughts in this thread.

Same here. After sitting for a little while the rising above sensation is a sign post telling me one of the first major layers of tension peeling away. When i first started feeling this i would stop...
I think that is something great to try. A comment about the interruptions. Some observations i've made that i have found others experience as well. When first sitting down there seems to be a natural...
I started getting this too, it was pretty annoying. I think it might be related to stimulating the legs and the base energy center. Seemed like the RLS would go away once i avoided doing any energy...
Hi IronGega,
A couple things that i have found that have worked a little with this.
When thoughts keep popping up it may help to acknowledge and allow them to occur then gradually introduce...
It was a nice night last night. It was much warmer and i could smell the ozone after a rain. I lay in bed with my head by the open window just smelling the air and feeling the nice cool breeze come...
Yep. In order to prove it under fair conditions with open minded observers there would need to be some kind of repeatable demonstrable quality to the paranormal action. But the thing is, many times...
One of the things i've noticed so far about OBE is that you don't need to believe in it in order for it to occur. There is no need to be frustrated by skeptics or even to be attached to your own...
Just watched a short documentary on the "overview effect", a change in perspective reported by astronauts.
It's about 20 minutes. Has some really nice shots of the Earth.

I tend to notice 1:11 and 3:33 on the clock a bit more. Not sure why 1:11 sticks out, 3:33 does because i was born on march 3rd - third day of the third month - at 3:33 AM or at least that is when...

Hi Korpo,
you are right it is a good thing, thanks!
Laying down last night, i was woken up into a trance state by the tangible lava lamp like sensations. I feel the sensation running up my back...
I had a very interesting trance experience.
While laying down to go to sleep, i felt quite at peace and comfortable but also a bit anxious because i had to do something the next day that was a...
When i was looking for ways to prevent OBEs from occuring, crossing my legs was one of the things that helped. I'm not too sure why but it still seems to work tp keep a projection from occurring.
