Let's Go Furthur

I have previously covered in somewhat short order, the topics of the vibrational state and the emotion of fear in my previous columns. As you progress in the act of getting out of body, there are two topics you will find to be both of great importance, and also something that can hold you back quite easily in your progression to achieving your out of body experience. Because of this, I want to cover these two topics in more depth than I did before.

            The vibrational state, or what I call the vibes, are down right scary. If you are lucky enough to go through your obe attempts and find yourselves out, you are fortunate. But remember, even if you do emerge out of body without going through the vibes; remember that in time, usually a short time, you shall be confronted with them.

            In all truth, I actually like being in the vibes. The tingle that engulfs my body is something I long for. I do know when they come to me, that I am at the doorway to accomplishing my goal of having an obe. In truth, they are not your enemy, but your friend, a friend that will bring you by the hand to achieving what you have strived for.

             I lay in waiting. I try to keep my heart still and quiet. I know they will be coming soon, as an old friend in the darkness. They shall take my hand and lead me through the very last process to becoming free.

            I sense them coming, they have heard my call. As they come, my heart starts to race and it is hard to keep my inner being calm, but somehow I do. My body starts to vibrate, a little slowly at first, but as I stay calm they grow stronger and stronger. In a short time they are so strong they engulf me, they shake me to my inner being. As I lie there shaking I smile, my old friend is back to set me free.

            In a few more moments, I hear great noise, noise that sounds as though I have been thrown into a giant electric motor. As I listen to the sounds and feel the shaking that are now engulfing me, I continue to smile and in my consciousness I thank them, for they have heard my calling.

            Now I am shaking almost violently, my mind is hearing loud roaring sounds, sounds that pulsate and at times seem defining. I then hear someone calling my name; I do not always know whom. I wonder who calls me? I wonder if he or she will be there awaiting my separation from the physical body that I long to set aside?

            At the end I am shaking so violently and my astral ears are engulfed in a maze of loud motor sounds and of people talking. All of this pulsating is as a beat in a slow song. It builds and builds, and I smile and hang on. I am excited. I think about floating up, up to the ceiling and beyond, once my friend will help me. I stay concentrated on my floating up and in only a few moments, I start to feel my spirit becoming free. It starts to lift. I can feel it. The noise is now defining and I am shaking as if I was in a hurricane of violence, of noise and confusion. But in moments I feel my spirit lift to where it is not in the same space that my physical body occupies. Then all the vibrations and noise, then pass from me. In the moments just before freedom comes, I sense and feel my friend start to fade away from me. As it does, I mentally think and say, “Thank you.”

I am free!

            Remember, even thought the vibes will scare you, even terrify you, they are your friend, and if you find yourself engulfed within them, remember you are safe, no harm shall come to you. They, though scary, definitely are your friend, and in a way, one of your mentors. They are on the threshold to crossing over to that what you seek. Stay calm; welcome them to come and to thrive deep within you. Welcome them to grow stronger and stronger, and as you do you will find yourself at the proper time to then lift out of your body. And in this you will become free, in only moments.

            Fear is the emotion that is not your friend. It shall show it’s ugly head and take you away from that which you seek to accomplish. It is an enemy that cannot harm you, but only stop you from achieving your goal. Fear can come to you at anytime and when you do not expect it.

            As you start to lift out, you feel the vibes coming upon you; you grow scarred, frightened, even out of control. You start to shake with not only the vibrations, but with the fear of the unknown, the feeling of being out of control, of being in an element that is foreign to you. Fear will overtake you, and sometimes overwhelm you. It will place thoughts in your mind that you shall perish, die because of your out of body attempt.

The shaking shall scare you; as well will the noise, your trembling. But you have to overcome it.

            When you find yourself out of body, you feel out of your known element. What you know nothing about surrounds you. Don’t let it over take you. Remember that nothing can over power you, overtake you. Your fear is now your enemy. You are a powerful being, one from the other side, the other dimensions. You are a child of God, of Father. You are in control, if you want to be. As one will tease you on the other side, know that you are their equal in power, or even more powerful, you just don’t know it.

            Everything in out of body has a reason. This reason you may not know at first, but as you progress in out of body, you will know more and more. Your fears shall pass away. When you have become frightened, your physical body may pull you back to it and you shall find yourself back home in the physical, once again, safe as always. You will then feel saddened that a wonderful attempt at out of body has become shortened by the fear you let overpower you.

            I have been out of body hundreds of times, I am still here, and so are the many whose books you read, their interviews on T.V. and on the radio. My wife has been out of body, my sons have been out over and over, and so have been my daughter in laws, my best friend and his wife. The many I have taught, and so many more have all been out, over and over, and all returned to safety, time and time again. Shall you be different?

What is there to fear but fear itself? (I think I have heard that somewhere before.) As hard as it seems, fear cannot harm you, nor can anyone on the other side. You are a powerful, inter dimensional person, you just don’t know it.

Fear? Overcome it.

            Some people have told me that I press them too hard, way to hard to achieve what they have come to me to learn. They say I am a “natural” that it is easy for me, but it is not. I have spent the hours and hours laying on my back, going through attempt after attempt, all unsuccessfully. You see I have paid my dues and in this I have found all I have written about and more.

            When I was young, many times I asked my dad what should I do about things of importance to me. My dad would ask me back, “How bad do you want it?”

You are in control of your own destiny in life as well as with obtaining an out of body experience. I cannot give it to you, you have to take it, on your own, all alone, but I am with you in spirit.

            I have tried sometimes for twenty attempts, about an hour in each attempt to finally achieve an obe, and so many times a very short one. My anger grew hard when I had failed, over and over. I was alone, and no one knew anything about out of body back then, only those who wrote books and spoke on the radio. But you know what? I bit my bottom lip; I dusted myself off, and went back in. I dedicated my life to the gift of out of body. Attempt after attempt I tried, sometimes I succeeded, but more than that I failed. But as I tried and tried, in time I succeeded more and more. In time my successes seemed to be more than my failures.

            Knowledge, then commitment, then overcoming the vibes, and then fear, all work together to bring you to out of body. You see my friends, not all of you are naturals. Most of you will have to do as I have done. Most of the time there is no easy way.

            Remember, I am a man of a plain life, not one of fame and fortune. I am a man who works hard each day, my body hurts when I come home. I put my pants on one leg at a time, just like you. Remember, if I can achieve out of body, anyone can, remember that. How bad do you want it?

LET THERE BE AIR, SOUND AND A BREEZE

As I floated next to my physical body I thought about what to do. Out of body was not new to me, but going to my home on the other side, the one that I came from and to where I will return to, was new to me. Thinking back now, I had only been there a few times.

“There has got to be much more to explore there.” I thought.

“I want to go to my home on the other side!” I commanded.

As the grey fog cleared from around me, there she stood, home!

            I found myself floating about 30 feet off the ground and about 100 feet away from the front door. I looked at the rather plain looking house and I thought, since I could have made it as fancy, as large of a house as I wanted, why do I live in such an average looking house? It was a dark brown color. It had some windows with the same dark colored trim also. Weird I thought.

            I floated over to the front door and then I wondered why have a front door if one can simply float right through it or even materialize inside? “Whatever“, I thought.

I went to grab a hold of the doorknob, when I realized I had no hands, since I was in my orb form. Thinking of my physical looking astral body, I changed into its form in a second or two.

            As my newly made hand went for the handle I stopped. I had not looked that closely around the outside of the massive property, which was all around me. Quickly, I turned and floated back to where I first appeared. Then I wanted to get a high up, birds eye view of it all. I then floated up, way up high, maybe a thousand feet high to have a look around.

            I looked out, maybe what would be hundreds of miles in every direction. I fell in love with the clearness of the sky, the colors, the plants and the trees and animals that lay below me and as far as my eyes could see. I saw no signs of any other people or their dwellings. All this property, as far as the eye could see was all mine. It was created by me, owned by me, and it was all mine to enjoy, forever and ever. A large smile came to me.

            I was in awe of the massive amount of property which laid in front of me.

For a silly moment I thought, “Thank goodness I don’t have to pay property tax here!”

As I floated there taking in all the beauty of this place, something occurred to me. Something was not right, but what?

            I realized there was no sound, none at all. This reminded me of my first big obe when I went far out into outer space and looked back on the earth. It was totally weird how hearing no sound, hearing absolutely nothing at all, could be so strange, so foreign.

At the same time I noticed no smell of any kind. I remembered that when I would be next to the flowers below me, I would smell their wonderful fragrance, but up here, I was too far to smell them. I wanted to smell the beauty of this place and hear the incredible sounds that were hidden from me in the deadness of the quiet.

            Besides no sound of any kind, there was no air, no breeze to carry the sounds and smells to me like back in the physical. Knowing I do not breath on the other side, I thought it could be great to experience these things exactly as I did back in my physical body.

            “I want there to be air here, and I want to breath like in my physical body.”

Immediately I felt a slight feeling in my chest and I was breathing air, all in seconds.

I still did not smell anything, or at least not much and I heard nothing at all either. I was most likely too far from the flowers to smell them. Then a thought came to me. “I want a breeze, a slight, cool summer breeze to brush my face.” The wonderful breeze came just as I commanded and with it came the smells of the flowers, which were far off. The breeze brought all this to me. I smiled and concentrated on the refreshing air that was caressing my face. It was cool, comfortable and slow. I bathed in it.

            But then another thing came to my attention, I could hear the fluttering of the tree leaves that were down below me. I heard the sound of the horses and other animals as they ran. The sounds of the small animals, climbing the trees and the chatter they made as they faced each other. I heard the wind itself go by my ear and I thought how much more wonderful I had made my home.

            I stayed there for a long while, a thousand feet in the air. I thought how wonderful it all was. I raised my arms to my Father in thanks and joy. And in only a whisper I spoke.

“Let it always be this way.”

And so it has been.

THE LADY IN WHITE

            I had never known anyone from the other side. I had only hung around the level next to the physical until, through a lucky experience; I met someone who would become my best friend and a great mentor. She told me I could think of her anytime and I would go to her.

            I lifted out of my body, and then brought myself to a standing position. I grew a little nervous and excited at the same time. I thought of her then commanded myself, “I want to go to her.”

            The familiar gray fog surrounded me and after a few seconds it cleared. I was floating about 30 feet above the ground, overlooking a sight of spectacular beauty. As far as my eye could see, in every direction were yellow flowers. They had green stems and looked similar to daffodils. They stood about 2 feet tall and were crowded tightly besides each other. It looked like a beautiful, thick carpet of yellow and green. I floated there in amazement, in awe. They had a slight swaying motion from side to side and I could slightly hear a beautiful melody coming from them. The sky above them was royal blue, a few bright, white clouds floated here and there.

            I looked downward and there she was. She was sitting in a small white chair, in the middle of the flowers. She is such a beautiful woman. Long, white blonde hair, bangs, and brilliant blue eyes. She looked about early 20’s and wore a white sundress of lace and a large, southern style sun hat. She had a small white table next to her with a water glass filled with a raspberry colored drink, and she was holding a book. (Yes, they do read books over there, but that’s for another time)

            Sort of startled to see her there, I saw her look up at me and smile. “Hi, you’ve come to visit!”

            Realizing I was still up in the air I floated down to her, asking if I had come at a bad time. She said no, and that she knew I was coming. We made small talk and I loosened up a little. She asked if I wanted to have something to eat at her house. I said yes, then looked around for her house and did not see it. I thought I would have to follow her to it or transport with her.

            She looked at me, smiled, and then a gray fog surrounded everything in site. I saw nothing but the fog, nothing. Then in a few seconds, it evaporated and before me was a medium sized house, surrounded by mountains. As far as I could see was greenery, beautiful animals and pastures. Flowers of every color swayed with the music that came from them. I had never seen such a magnificent, more beautiful place.

I asked her, “Where are we?”

She replied, “We are in the same place, I just brought my home here.”

I have tow other techniques I would like to share that are very similar to the ones I have posted previously but slightly different.

THE OBJECT METHOD.

            I have had very good success with this method. This method is very similar to the target method, which I posted before. I even mentioned that instead of a person you could use an object but I think the power of using an object should be addressed in more detail. You start off with the standard muscle relaxation, breathing and heartbeat routine as always. When you are fully relaxed and have checked your body for any tension, etc., you are ready to proceed.

            Think of an object you know very well, maybe something you handle everyday, a phone, coffee cup, TV remote, your favorite pen, a purse or a wallet. For me I use my morning cup of coffee.

            Feel the texture of the cup, feel the heat it gives off. Pick it up, being sure not to spill the hot coffee or tea that it holds. Smell the coffee aroma. Really get into it. Hold your attention on these things for a few moments then lift the cup up higher to your mouth. Feel the heat more now since it is so close to your lips. Prepare to take a sip, make sure you go slowly so you don’t burn your tongue. You didn’t think it would be this hot. Now take that sip, slowly, carefully. Now how does it taste? The taste is the best you have ever had. Move the coffee around in your mouth. Get caught up in all of this, the weight, smell, taste, heat, etc. Immerse yourself in it. Then set the cup carefully back on the table. Wait a moment, and then take another sip all over again. Continue to do this, keeping yourself immersed in it all. Hold off going to sleep, fight it. When you do finally drift off, in a moment you should be out of your body, vibrating in your physical body or wake after a nights sleep. Try this technique for 3 weeks if needed. Good Luck.

THE ELEVATOR TECHNIQUE.

            This a heavy visualization method, which keeps your mind very busy with many things, one after another, instead of being fixed on only 1 or 2 things. After you are relaxed as written before, picture yourself approaching the door of an elevator that goes to the top of a very tall building. See the elevator door open; hear the sound it makes as it opens. You get into it. You smell the air, you see the red push buttons, and you hear the doors close. Imagine you are really in the elevator. Feel the floor button as you push it to go to the top floor. You hear the motor gear up to lift it, you actually hear it. You feel the elevator lift upwards. You feel it gain speed. You grab the handle slightly to balance yourself. You feel the upward movement. Now you stand and take in all the sounds, movements, etc. all around you.

            You feel it come to a slow stop, the door opens. It opens into your own penthouse apartment on the top floor. You look at your beautiful apartment, all its furniture; it’s smells, the sunlight in the windows, etc. You walk over to the windows and look out at the large city beneath you, etc.

            Anyway, you get the idea, similar to the other methods. After you look out the window for a while, turn and go back to the elevator, go back down to the first floor again, repeat as needed.

            I hope you are all enjoying my column. I try hard each month to bring you a variety of information, which deals with the many aspects of the world of out of body. In this I try to pass on the many ways to get out of body, as well as the many problems you may encounter. I also will try to point out and explain what to expect during your attempts, and also what you might possibly experience when you are out.

            During my out of body life, I have grown in so many ways, and experienced so much more. Remember what is important to you, and what you may seek to learn and explore, may not be what I seek, though I truly think it is all relevant.

            I might suggest to you all that when you do find yourselves out of body, you might go through the standard experiences. These are the ones of flying, walking through walls or a tree. Feel the rainfall through you astral fingers. When these things have touched your spirit, maybe you shall seek finding and meeting those who have passed on before you, the ones close to you. Your mother, father, your grandparents, your brother, sister or a best friend are all excellent.

            After that, you might command to see who you really are on the other side, the inner person you left behind when you came here and who you will return to being when you pass from here. Seeing you’re past lives is also excellent.

Maybe you should see God, your Father.

            You see out of body is not solely for a joy ride to the realms that lie before you. Out of body is the opening of not only your mind, but your spirit. In this, not only peace of mind may come to you, but all wisdom, clarity, and knowledge of all things that you have wondered. Please do not stay stagnant in the fun of out of body, but be consumed with the God given gift that lies within us all, the gift that has been forgotten.

Reach out and retrieve it, control it, master it, and in this you shall be free.
