Is eating possible on the astral planes? And more questions!

[IA56]

I even ask for it so it's already being planned by the higher forces, right??

Hi,
I just want to say that how thorough you try to be there will always be surprices, so be sure you are conscious about that.

Love

Do i not stand alone?

As 'physical' beings, don't we all 'stand alone'.... ?

I will get guided my first time right? Not seeing stuff popping up immeditaly to frighten me... the rooms are also light according to many projectors... can i be 100% sure my uninvited fears can be holded back by angels or something like that? I really want this protection!

Is eating on the astral planes possible? And how does it taste like? Also are negative thought forms and fears being hold back by the source/creator until you manage to overcome the fear with guidance of higher forces? I just don't want to see faces and beings coming at me immeditaly, why do people keep saying they see scary faces on the astral planes? Are things ordered for me when i'm out? Otherwise it would really piss me off how imbalanced and disordered the planes are. Anyone experience????

Hi,

Eating & drinking are possible while 'lucid-dreaming' since i have done this, both were more 'real' than eating & drinking in 3D physical or Earth sim reality.

Hi C.O.I.
I have eaten on the astral planes, but I'm not sure if the word "possible" applies. To me, experiences like these are symbolic- eating means taking in energy, ideas or concepts. So learning something new can be experienced as eating. So taste depends on what you are assimilating, there is no 'object' with flavor in the astral planes.

Also are negative thought forms and fears being hold back by the source/creator until you manage to overcome the fear with guidance of higher forces?

In my experience, negative experiences are created by my own aspects, precisely to process and overcome these fears. Sometimes the negative experience is the guidance, sometimes guidance comes from other beings, be it light beings, angel or saint-like beings, or just my own guides. It all depends on the experience and what it's for.

I just don't want to see faces and beings coming at me immeditaly, why do people keep saying they see scary faces on the astral planes?

There are sometimes experiences in the hypnagogic states in which you see faces. They are not scary per se (usually they look like normal people you'd see in any crowd- but unlike looking at a movie or photograph, sometimes one will turn and look at you, and this can be disconcerting, even scary. Sort of like looking in a mirror too long. For some reason, it happens to people when they are in the beginnings of their practice, and it stops being scary when you get used to it. I've engaged in staring contests with them when it happens, and usually the experience turns into a dream. It's really a psychological thing, I think.

Are things ordered for me when i'm out? Otherwise it would really piss me off how imbalanced and disordered the planes are. Anyone experience????

I do not believe there is order in the way an architect would call order. Although the planes are represented in a very organized manner, I believe the order is more about psychological input. Some people, when they first get out see their room as it is (the real time zone.) Then they either experience reality fluctuations (which can be portals to the astral plane) or simply are transported away from the real time zone into the more dreamlike astral plane, but this is not a rule.
There are people who go straight into the more subjective part of the astral straight away, and others who take a long time before getting there. The order is given by your mind, not like going to a city where things have a place and direction, because the planes beyond the real time zone are subjectively created by the collective unconscious.
If you want more information, read Robert's Treatise on Astral Projection, which is located in the 'articles' section of the site.

I don't want that

I want to go to other planes and overcome my fear with a guide at my side

When you create your experience consciously, this is possible. But the experience goes where your emotion goes. If the feeling of dread is strong enough, it'll give you the experience you don't want. If you can lose the fear, then you will get what you want.
It's a standoff, because sometimes you get what you need, not what you want. And there is no better way to get through a 'supernatural' fear than to experience it and come out unscathed. Your subconscious knows this.

try drinking a bottle of vodka in your lucid dream it is so so good

I know any substances such as marijuana can be taken in the out of body state

(non physical THC)

This is STILL true. 100% true. I completely agree with CFT. This isn't a recipe to give you exactly what you want in the astral. All you can do is go to the mirror, look into your own eyes and ask the experience that which you want.
If you want to understand what OBEs are truly like, I suggest that you'll read Robert Monroe's book, they're online and they're a real classic. And don't read about any scary OBEs that people had, this isn't going to do you any good! it's just going to scare you into createing the experience for yourself by focusing on it too much. If you don't believe in it, I believe you won't be able to experience it.
Good luck!
