We are crowdsourced now, but hold the line. If you don't succeed, try try again. We're in this together supporting you. If you can't take it, I'll try, and if I can't, the next person will. Together, we'll end this cycle once and for all, for us all.

It's a metaphor, I'm sure someone can provide a clearer way of saying it, but this is what came to me :)

I just want to share with everyone a new method that I've found has some great success with first time projectors. To be clear this method is not originally mine, but one that's been developed over time by many of the great people on this sub and the discord (Commander, Astral Bruh, Elephant, and others). But I have made some modifications and clarifications in this method that seem to greatly increase success rates and vividness of experience.

Using this method most people have an interesting experience the very first time. It might be a very basic experience, but it will definitely help you get going in the right direction if you've been stuck for some time.

What is HAP?
First off for those who aren't familiar with the term half-AP, or HAP is our term for a type of projection that is done while completely awake. It is similar to remote viewing, but differs in the fact that you experience having an astral body in the process.

Since it is done while awake, you will probably find the experience to be less vivid than a traditional AP where the body is completely asleep. However, with practice this method can become very vivid. On the plus side, because the conscious mind is still fully engaged you are much more easily able to achieve useful work, and you can even continue to interact in the physical world while doing it. This is how many of the skilled projectors in our group are able to type and discuss their impressions while they are simultaneously projecting.

Step one: Calibration

First find a comfortable place to sit and begin to relax. You don't have to get into a sleep level of relaxation, just get comfortable and chill.

With your eyes still open bring your hands together in about 18 inches in front of your face in a slow single clap. Watch your hands clap. Pay attention to the sound that the hands clapping makes. Pay attention to the movement of your arms, how it feels and also the exact visual image you are seeing right now. In a moment you are going to try to recreate this experience entirely in your imagination.

Repeat this several times about two or three seconds apart, until you feel extremely used to the sensations.

Step two: Imagination and Astral Integration

Now place your hands in a comfortable place either by your sides, on the arm rests of the chair, or in your lap. From here on out it will be good to have these instructions memorized, but if you have to open your eyes don't worry. Opening your eyes won't break the experience.

Close your eyes. Now try to completely recreate the clapping sensation. See the hands in front of your face as they clap. Feel the motion through the air. Feel the impact when they meet. Hear the sound as they hit one another.

What you are doing right now is engaging your astral body via the imagination. The imagination is what moves the astral body.

Continue to do this until you you can really feel something happening. Now its time to switch it up a bit. Take your astral hands and gently touch something that is in reach. It might be a portion of your chair, or you could run your hands along your desk. Just touch and watch yourself doing the touching and see the object in the environment. As you do this you may begin to also see more of the environment more vividly.

Now stop the touching experience, and concentrate on the environment. The level of vividness will vary from person to person, but by this point most people will feel that they can see the room around them, even if it is a bit dark or foggy.

From this position, now using your will and imagination, make your astral body stand up. Now observe things from this new perspective.

Once you are comfortable from your new standing position, will yourself to spin 180 degrees, and look at the rest of your room. Take a moment to observe the details of the room.

Now will yourself to begin to move towards the nearest wall. Reach out your astral hand and touch that wall. Now very slowly, begin to walk around the room running your astral hand along the wall as you do so. Continue to slowly walk around the room for a bit.

After some time, take a moment to look over to where your body is sitting. Notice your body sitting quietly in the chair.

Astral/Physical Calibration

Now look away from your body, and back to somewhere else in the room.

This next part is mostly for beginners, but it will help you to get used to the fact that you can do this, and even do things physically without breaking your astral projection. After you've gotten used to this idea, this is not a necessary step for beginning your projection.

Very briefly we are going to open our physical eyes. You should notice that you don't have any diminished control at all over your physical functions. You can look around, type on the computer, speak aloud, etc. However, you will also notice that you can still "feel" that you are on the other side of the room in some weird way. You will still feel sensations from your astral body.

Now, close your eyes again, you may naturally find that your awareness automatically pops back to the astral form. If it doesn't, it should be very easy to will your awareness back to it. Take some time practicing willing your awareness slowly back and forth from the astral body to the physical.

Continue your Journey

From here you can continue to explore however you choose. Leave the room and float around the neighborhood. Use a sigil and visit an astral scape. Whatever your goal going in, go for it.

Ending the journey

Once you are finished needing to project simply pop back to your body. You can choose simply to wait for the astral sensations to subside if you like, but it may take some time. This is because the astral form and your connection to it is still present.

Doing physical activity will lessen the amount of time it takes for it to dissipate as well, so doing a bit of exercise will help get you refocused on your physical form.

However, what I recommend is actively dissipating your astral form. This is very easy. After bringing your astral form back to a place in the room with you, (from the POV of your physical body, not the astral) imagine it slowly starting to break apart into a cloud, and let it dissipate over all around the room getting lighter and lighter until it is gone.

And that's all there is to it. Congratulations you've had your first astral experience. Over time with more and more practice you will find the experience getting more and more vivid, and the sense experiences being more and more reliable. Good luck and have fun!

I had an AP experience yesterday morning where I came across a long wooden looking table surrounded by people. There was an entity who looked like an old woman in the middle. Apparently she was teaching the people around it about astral projection. I don't think most of the people were even conscious. But there was one young woman who seemed incredibly happy to be there, and got excited when I arrived.

Are these sorts of astral schools common? I've heard people talk about them before, and that they teach unconscious projectors in hope that some of what they say makes its way into their subconscious. What are your thoughts on this?

A bit ago I made comment on a thread here about the time I met an astral entity and a few people messaged me asking me to explain what happened. Astral projecting always came natural to me. I used to do it all the time as kid. I had no idea what it was, just that it would happen to me sometimes. As a teen in the early 2000s I read Astral Dynamics and learned to control it better. A few years ago, after an NDE I started to mediate a lot. During an hour long meditation session, I began to feel a familiar sensation. The vibration and loud sounds that occur just before exiting. When I exited my body I saw before me what looked like a thousand sided jewel with an eye in each facet. I had met other entities before but had always been to scared and would zip back into my body, this time I just stood there. It said, "I am ELAM". I thought it my head, "what are you?". It said, "I appear in many ways." Then it broke apart into what looked like grey aliens. I am not too sure what happened next but it felt like some kind of procedure. Months later I was reading and came across an article about Aleister Crowley. He talked about an entity he met called LAM. The part that freaked me out was that it looked like a grey alien too! Here is a picture that Crowley drew.(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/31/Supposed_channeled_entity_by_occultist_crowley.jpg)

Edit: forgot to say that the mediation session was at the end of an acid trip. I had dozens of trips before and never seen things that weren't there. Just enhanced visuals. The weird part is that my wife who was next to me (and sober) said she had a "dream" about aliens.

1. Go to the bed and lay down in a comfortable position.

2. Close your eyes.

3. Focus on the third eye point in between two eyebrows.

4. You start feeling sensations of slight pain and pressure.

5. Continue focusing on the pain in the third eye point and stop your eye movements completely.

6. Remain silent with a non-REM state.

7. When you stay in a non-REM state your body becomes paralyzed and now you lost your body from your consciousness and only remained in awareness and consciousness.

8. Now try to move this consciousness from that position something like floating, turning, moving.

9. Just try to move consciousness, not the body (body should be totally paralyzed for astral travel).

10. Boom! You are now outside of the body!

Follow these steps every day and spend at least 1 to 2 hours for each session. You will successfully remain outside the body from the very first day if you can free and relax your body totally and only become aware of consciousness.

Meditating this morning 1-11-21 at approximately 3am, something came to me, this light had overtaken me, and spoke to me. In short, that I needed to write this, and spread my insight into what’s happening.

I’ve been on a deeply spiritual path for the last few years, but I tended to keep getting distracted by the temptation of the physical pleasures of the material world, and therefore getting off track. A to and fro if you will.

Something would happen in my life that would remind me of how I had gotten off my spiritual path, some powerful epiphany or spiritual realization, all of which would reaffirm my spiritual direction calling me, and I would refocus.

I have gone through intense periods of psychedelic expansion of consciousness, utilization of meditation, lucid dream, astral projection, and reading of sacred and spiritual text. Inevitably I would fall off a bit and would again get lost in the physical world, be it females, pursuit of financial wealth, molding and shaping my physical physique for vain purposes, et cetera.

Point being - recently there has been something different in the air, an electric charge so to speak, this overpowering energy of which I am completely immersed, saturating me.

Recently, I have been in a state of almost mania. Totally electrified with this energy which I find myself amidst. This foreboding feeling that something is happening, something is coming, but it’s ineffable.

I have been only sleeping 2-3 hours a night because I feel this pull, this call, no.. this NEED to further my spirituality, to developing my connection to the universe, to evolve of consciousness, my control over it, this NEED to elevate, because NOW is the time. This innate intuition that it’s now or never. That time is of the essence.

I’ve been observing a synchronicity, of indisputable magnitude, and everything starting to fall into place. Things from years and years ago are all starting to pop back up in my life, this information I had come across, or a powerful experience I had which had was a pivotal moment in my development all start coming together, building upon one another, all coming to alignment, to fruition.

Everything has been coming together and it’s created this state of spiritual ecstasy within me, and a focus and determination to the likes of which I’ve never known before.

I’ve been meditating every spare moment. When not meditating, I’ve been putting into practice my reading on:

Alchemy Super Consciousness Energy/Shadow Work Crystallography Numerology Magick Mind Control Infinite Perspectus Hermeticism (GD or otherwise) Kybalion Thoth The Bible The Quran Egyptian Book of the Dead Tibetan Book of the Dead The Lost Book of Enki Anything by Carl Jung and especially Aleister Crowley Ad Infinitum (Got tired of writing down the infinite list of works)

But mainly, my focus is directed upon coming to that which I know that I am, in truest essence, in highest most pure form. We are at the time of elevation, of ascension. The New Earth as foretold by Jesus.

In revelations it’s talked about as “A New Earth” , this will be the new world of evolved human beings, as we all realize this true nature and come to it, and become fully conscious and harness all of our potential. This is the Ascension, and this is what is happening right now. The dark magick that exists on the opposite side of occult study. That is the darkness. And humanity is coming to a point where the light and dark are to converge in a struggle for dominance on this planet. This is what revelations has foretold, and this is happening now. I have been claimed by the light, I am ascending. Each and every thing that has happened in my life up to this point has happened for a reason. To get to to this moment. That is what is happening to me right now, and to you.

We all who are sensitive to things beyond this world can feel it. It’s intangible, but yet intuitively we know it, and feel it. This is the ascension as it was foretold.

My brothers and sisters - Spend time in meditation, and begin to realize your pure consciousness, to begin honing and developing that which you are capable of:

Apportation, Astral projection, Automatic writing, Divination, Dowsing, Energy Medicine, Levitation, Mediumship, Precognition, Psychic Surgery, Psychokinesis, Psychometry, Pyrokinesis, Rddhi, Remote Viewing, Retro Cognition, & Telepathy.

-He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move and nothing will be impossible for you.” ~ Matthew 17:20 ESV

^We are capable of all things, only limited by our thoughts and beliefs.

-Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them]. ~ Mark 11:24 KJV

^Our thoughts become reality, mind shapes matter, the observer influences the observed by the focus of the consciousness. All things are possible.

Lastly. This feeling we all are experiencing:

“The kingdom of Heaven is not coming in ways that can be observed, nor will they say ‘Look, here it is!’ Or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”

Brothers & Sisters - embody the light in which you are ❤️

-Peace and Love to all

I had a weird experience one day. I realised I was projected beside my body at home. I decided to walk around my house. I went into the living room. I decided to try and read a book. When I thougt of that, a very big, leather bound book appeared on the table. As I was reaching for the book, out of nowhere appeared a guy who shouted at me not to read it. He was dressed in black "tactical" clothes, like some spec ops guy, cargo pants, a tactical vest, a black turtleneck blouse under it. He had gray hair, almost white, combed to the side. One of his eyes was red, like a laser, and was wearing an eye apparatus kind of like the ones used on Dragon Ball. The shape was different, just the thing was used in one eye, just like in DBZ. He started to chase me, and I ran from him. I teleported around my house and he followed me. I tried using energy blasts against him, but it came out very weak. Eventually, he caught up to me, touched my forehead and I woke up. Has anyone ever had a similar experience, or met a similar character? Or maybe an idea of what could the book be?

Can anyone tell me some good names for the astral sciences, particularly regarding energy manipulation and astral botany/biology. I'm sure there is a way to observe microorganisms out there as well. Also looking into observing subatomic particles while out. Thanks in advance!

Hey, hi hello. I suck at voluntarily projecting. I’ve had 3 experiences accidentally but was caught by surprise and utterly terrified by it so the experience ended as quickly as it began. I’m working on that, working on being less fearful. I would absolutely do this myself but considering the above ^ I don’t see it happening right now.

So can anyone, anyone with experience and knowledge of protection, please go to Wuhan and get the real scoop on wtf is going on over there?!

We’ve been getting soo many conflicting stories and it’s quite clear China is lying about a lot...so if someone could please just go and see what they can learn from a quick trip I think more folks than just me would GREATLY appreciate it.

But again, go with protection. I know governments have people trained in “astral security” so to speak and I wouldn’t be too surprised if China had someone monitoring the astral realm over there. But I do believe returning from a Wuhan trip with some info is possible.

Any takers?

I've collected all the versions of Robert Monroe's Hemi Sync - The Gateway Experience tapes in FLAC quality.

• The original Gateway tapes, Waves 1-6, 1996 version. Tapes 5 and 6 of this version which were unguided, and meant to be free flow experiences are no longer on sale.

• Edited versions from 2004, of Waves 5 and 6 with added exercises to focus 15 to 21. These were narrated by Robert Monroe's daughter Laurie Monroe. These tapes were discontinued too.

• Edited versions from 2015, of Waves 5 and 6, were narrated by Robert Monroe's stepson AJ. Honeycutt.

• Finally Wave 7 - Voyager, produced and narrated by AJ. Honeycutt released in 2019, featuring exercises for focus 23 to 27.

I tried to share them, but I keep getting caught in reddit's spam filter. So I've made a pdf copy of my previous post and embedded Google Drive and Mega links to every tape inside the pdf.

Note 1: Google Drive links have 7z files of each tape. So you have to use either 7zip, a free open source software on windows or ZArchiver on Android.

Note 2: All links are inside the pdf file I will link below. Try a different PDF viewer if you can't click the links inside.

Note 3: Be sure to check the 'misc' folder in each Wave's folder, that contains pdf and doc instructions on each of the tapes.

Link to pdf

Edit: Those who are having trouble downloading can visit @CosmicAwareness channel I created on Telegram. I've uploaded the files there, and will also be uploading many more Hemi Sync files and selected resources to expand consciousness.

To be clear-- Conscious full body astral projection is the highest development of psychic ability.

It is wonderful to see so many souls know about such a secret and rarefied subject. However, it should at least be stated that such an enterprise is no easy task.

In fact, nothing is harder or more difficult. For there is no set standard to achieve it. There is no instruction manual, no method or procedure, no steps to follow.

Sure there are ways to enhance the likelihood, but success ultimately depends upon the currency of your soul.

When you finally achieve (whether by intention or chance) full body astral projection, there will be no doubt about what happened! Your "soul" (for lack of a better word) will suddenly be ripped out of the only thing you have ever known, the body.

You are fully awake. There is no alteration in your state of mind. No trance, no sleep, no change in your mental state. So when it does happen, the shock of encountering it as reality sharpens your awareness with an overbearingly obvious realization regarding the experience's truth.

The first time is or at least it was for me the most terrifying experience of your life.

I was a child I get a very physical feeling that I call "surges" a jolt, a pulse of electricity, an intense burst of energy shoots out of the center of my head, traveling down my body and shooting out my toes.

I got them from a very early age and always thought that I had a brain tumor so I never spoke about it and did my best to stop it from happening.

When I was about 16 I started getting them again, one night they came as I was just sitting down, suddenly I am catapulted out of my body while still being able to feel my body but not move it....

I thought that I died, when you realize the soul is real you start thinking about everything else that might be such as Heaven and Hell.

So I thought I was literally fighting for my life and I was not ready to die and face judgement I would fight with everything I had to get back into my body, then I would be ripped out again over and over until finally I just accepted it, accepted my death, floated around for a bit and was eventually snapped back.

Since this was before astral projection went mainstream I had no idea what happened, I didn't know the word "astral" or what was happening to me.

The moment you enter the spirit world skepticism is obliterated, it is very real, no dream, no figment of the imagination. It's reality is so apparent that it could be called 'more real' than the empirical world.

Every time it happens you'll notice that your perception of the environment alters its presentation in accommodation to your perspective.

The astral is a doorway to all places and all times, a doorway that is itself a place unto itself.

Do your best to conjure all your wisdom and listen to me now..

This practice is dangerous! and is not to be taken lightly or willed half-heartedly.

If you ever do achieve astral projection be VERY CAREFUL, just as it is dangerous to drive a car or go into the jungle at night alone, the astral is REAL, what happens there actually happens... it is not a dream!

What you do there and what happens to you has consequences and be careful with assuming anything regarding its nature.

Also there are multitudes of life-forms entities both human and non, not all of them are good!

The inspiration for your nightmares drawls from the reality of things that dwell there, and they can and will affect you, influence you, infect or hurt you.

Until you know how to defend yourself until you know what you're dealing with it's best at first to stay in the kiddie pool and resist jumping in the deep end.

If there is anyone who also has the natural ability to project intentionally and spontaneously please reach out to me in whatever form, come visit me or offer some real actionable intelligence or information.

It is unfortunate and costly having to figure everything out on your own, ( I do NOT recommend it) and there's nothing worse than feeling like you're alone " the bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship" I cannot exaggerate how helpful it would have been for me if I had someone to talk to or someone who could have given guidance, which is why I typed this post.
