Greetings brothers and sisters,

First off let me state that off and on over the years from childhood I had several experiences with sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming which eventually escalated to out of body experiences but in truth and in fact these were never planned. They just happened and at first they were scary. With time and prayer and faith activation and trusting that God is love - I overcame my fears and then the scary experiences simply became curious experiences. I was neither excited nor fearful - just curious to see what would happen.
It was only as I began meditating that the experiences started to become more 'enjoyable' but maybe a better word would be 'awe-inspiring'. It was after this stage that I met and began interacting with the LBT society.

So Sunday gone (28 June, 2015) was an online OBE event which I wanted to participate in. As with many things for me I sought guidance on whether I should join. Note - not because I feared it would have been wrong per se but because of how things have been unravelling for me in my life. After joining the LBT society I naturally attempted to do the OBE training so that I could initiate more of these awe-inspiring experiences. But the training did not work for me. I also had a background belief working against the training which basically said "Look these experiences happen to you on their own accord when Spirit is ready - so just wait on Spirit."

So I prayed and sought guidance on whether this was something that I should do and then I refused to worry about it thereafter - trusting completely that Spirit would respond or guide me.

Sunday morning I woke up around 4am and meditated. It was an intense session - with much on my heart, I chose to cast my many cares aside and just seek God's face. I chanted... I sang....my soul cried out to God and I fell asleep on my couch. The next thing I knew is that I became aware of my couch and my apartment but as I looked around some things were definitely different - structures which were not present in the physical realm were definitely present in whatever realm this was. I told myself that I wanted to go outside. Memories of the rope method (from training) came to mind but I found imaging a rope to be a bit difficult and the burglar proofed window next to the couch provided a great ladder.

So I climbed up the ladder and got out but into an environment that did not resemble my own at all. I won't give all the details and experiences but I would say that night and day were both present here. I have not yet found any description of this place on google. Anyway, night was to the left and you moved right there was day but immediately right of night was twilight. The clouds on this realm were pretty, billowy coloured purple and lilac with hints of pink. And the mountains were blowing smoke.

I don't feel impressed to divulge all as I said because in many ways it is personal and intimate but I knew that I had been here before. The architecture and structures - although unlike anything I have seen with my physical eyes were familiar to me.

In returning, I first returned to the realm that resembled the physical but I did not want to return and my soul actually moaned but a lovely cool breeze blowing at the side of my face soothed me. I then returned and woke up on my couch.

So my findings -
>>The training may not work for everyone but simply learning to climb up allowed me to have a more extensive experience

>>Meditation can be a wonderful lead up to an OBE

>>It is good to have a relationship with GOD or some entity you recognise as a Higher Divine Intelligence full of Love - while there I saw and noted lower energy entities but I was not bothered by them. They watched me and I did not even bother to hold their gaze - I just passed them by knowing innately that they could not harm me.

So just thought I would share. Oh and just so you know when I awoke I realised that my internet was down - so I could not enter the online event even if I wanted to...

Love, light and blessings

P.S. I was also wondering if women more often than not found their OBE experiences to be randomly initiated or at least initiated in irregular unstructured means and if perchance the rules and guidelines worked better with men?
