My new goal nowadays is astral projection. I find it to be a very interesting topic. I did write a blog about a year ago about OBEs and they are both the same ideas. Think of this as a renewed interest. I am motivated to astral project/OBE beecause of an article I read on PsiWorld that talked about spirit guides. Let me set the record straight, I had never heard of a spirit guide before and naturally I’m a bit skeptical. I’ve come to the conclusion though that it wouldn’t hurt to explore the subject more because what harm can come out of it?

If spirit guides are real then I have every benefit to find my own. If it turns out they aren’t real, I will know because I will have astral projected and found they weren’t. This means I was able to develop the ability of astral projection and have learned to concentrate and focus my mind better. It’s a win win situation.

So it doesn’t bug me to talk about spirit guides or venture into this new world of possibilities. I’ve been reading up on the subject from PsiWorld and I’ve been recommended a site called the Astral Society. There are some good articles there too. It always helps to learn as much as you can about things you’re interested in.

I’ll keep y’all updated on accomplishments and I’ll be sure to fill you in on anything I learn while trying to achieve my goal.

So take care!!!

I don’t know if this has happened to you, but you might see something really awesome like a musician just playing their guitar and he/she sounds absolutely amazing!!! Like they motivate you to learn how to play the guitar and you start to get really excited. You begin to think oh ya I’ll just get a guitar and some books and teach myself. So you start to learn and you get kinda bored with the book because progress is slow and you really really wanna learn how to play your absolute all time favourite song, so you get tabs from the net and start learning how to play.

Well you practice and practice and you’ve finally gotten really good at playing this one particular song and you realize that’s all you really know so you start learning another song. You begin to get discouraged because damn, it’s taking me so long to learn how to play and I don’t like playing guitar that much, I WANT A LIFE!!! 

Let me ask you one thing, have you really learned how to play the guitar? You may feel compelled to say yes because you’ve practiced and practiced that one song and you can play it and it sounds good. Yay great but have you really learned how to play? I would say no. You get angry and say “how could you say that blah blah blah.” I answer, “Well all you know how to do is play like two songs. You haven’t learned technique still so learning new songs is difficult. You haven’t learned music theory so you can make your own chords and you have learned scales so you can improvise.”

You stand silent not knowing what to say next and you realize that I was right, because you haven’t really learned how to play, you just know a few songs and that’s it. You really don’t set yourself up to progression because you haven’t even learned, let alone mastered, the basics!! How do you expect to get better?

It’s the same way with Psionics and most everything else. You get really excited one day because you just saw this wicked ass video of someone moving a penny with their mind. You begin to learn all you can and you slowly develop your mind skills and you move a penny. Yay great! Did you really learn Psionics? Are you really setting yourself up for learning other things like telepathy, empathy, Remote Viewing, Lucid dreaming? You say, “Well I don’t really care about those other things because I like telepathy.” I respond, “Why would you only want to learn how to play one song? You’ll get bored after a while and not feel motivated to learn any others.

Maybe you do eventually decide to learn something else, like empathy. You try and you try. You see progress, but it’s very slow and making you frustrated. You haven’t really developed patience so you’re beginning to give up and get discouraged. You haven’t really developed concentration and focus because you have ADD attacks when you’re trying to practice. You haven’t really developed discipline and you find it very easy to blow off practice periods.

How you are affects your psionic abilities and affects how far you progress. You NEED to learn how to do Psionics and not just learn telepathy. You may find that you like telepathy the most so you begin to concentrate on that mostly. It’s like learning how to play guitar and you find you really like playing Blues chords so you begin to become an expert in blues. It’s the same for Psionics.

Depending on what you of person you are, it is possible to be able to start with just one kind of skill and be able to pick up others easily and master them easier than others. You are what we like to call SPECIAL. Not everyone is like this. Most are not. So just assume you’re not special and you’ll put the work you need to in order to devote yourself to Psionics. If you find out you are special and you put in a lot of work in your studies, you’ll become a master in no time.

So just put the work into your practices, learning your prereqs and have fun!! Put your passion into it!!

So last night for the first time ever I was lucid dreaming. I always thought it was interesting and read about it in books and online. A few years back I think I spent a week trying, got no results so I quit. I think about a week or so ago I intended to be able to lucid dream and BAM last night I did it!

It didn’t last long let me tell you and I couldn’t will anything to happen and whatnot. It was a partial lucid dream. It’s kind of hard to explain. In my dream I said, wait a minute this is a dream! And then my conscious began to snap back. I wasn’t fully conscious but the more conscious I got the more I began to wake up. I think it only took a few moments for me to completely wake up.

I know it wasn’t a fluck or something weird was because I could feel myself waking from a deep sleep, not REM, but still deep. It wasn’t one of those instances where you’re half awake and half asleep. So I know it was a real lucid dream. It was weird, pretty interesting. I found it hard to think, lol, but like I said I was only partially conscious so it makes sense.

Welp, that was my first lucid dream. Anyone still working on it? Anyone lucid dreaming experts?! Lol. Share if you have some insight.

PsiPog.net used to be a very lively community of pshychic ability practitioners, critics and interested listeners. Last year unfortunately the founder, Sean aka Peebrain, shut the forum community down. Fortunately for anyone who wants to continue learning and researching he has archived the whole forum for anyone to look at.

The community was full of very helpful people and I suggest taking a look if you want more information on psychic abilities and the paranormal in general.

So check it out if you’re even slightly curious. Most likely you won’t be disappointed. haha.

Have fun!!!

Last night I had this really weird dream. I dreamt I was at work, I work at Guitar Centre, and I was explaining to one of my co-workers the planetary orbits. It was weird cause on the wall we could see all the stars and we were lookign at star charts to find the brightest ones and whatnot. It was weird. I’ve never had a planetary dream before. Maybe I just never remember them, who knows.

I’m on www.dreammoods.com, I’ve been using this site since I was in middle school and it says to see stars in my dream represents my desire for fame and fortune. It’s also a symbol of fate and luck. A planet represents creativity, exploration and new adventures. It also means that I’m trying to tap into energies that I never knew I had.

This last bit, the bit about the planets, is pretty ironic. Last night I began examining all of my beliefs and looking at the limits of them all. This is a new goal of mine. I’m trying to find my limited beliefs and go past them. I’m doing this because lately the beliefs I’ve been clinging on to are good ones, but I can find more. I like the idea of limitless potential so I’m matching that up with my beliefs of reality.

So anyone have some crazy dreams they want to share? Any dreams that when you looked at them more closely they began to point at more than what they originally seemed?

One of the things I’ve been debating for a few years is the actual use of a dream dictionary. I say this because how does your subconscious know that okay this is what sword means in this dream dictionary so I’m going to put it in this dream so this person will know what I’m trying to communicate? Seriously. I really do think the symbolism comes from inside. What things do you associate with the objects. What you think when you see a spoon.

I use a dream dictionary to help me go into the general direction. Now I’ve been talking to my conscience more and get a direct answer from it. Hopefully when I can lucid dream, I’m going to start looking for the mastermind in my dream and tell me why the hell I’m dreaming this. It would be fun to lucid dream anyway. Lol.

Well if you’ve got some good dreams write it down and share!! I love listening to dreams. I swear we must be secretly on acid. You know what dreams I’m talking about when you begin to question your drug usage. Haha.

Ya ya for about the past year and a half I have come across many blogs, forums and websites talking about how beneficial it is to ‘talk with your conscience’. ‘Be in tune with your intuition. Follow it. Listen to it.’ Yata yata yata. I’ve tried it a few times because supposedly you’ll live a better life. You’ll know yourself more, you’ll be able to make better decisions. My initial thoughts were, whatever I’ll try it but only a little try.
So I did. I gave it a go. At the time I would have told you that I tried pretty hard, but I realize now I could have tried harder and done a better job. I’m trying to achieve some goals and I realized that I need to find out why I’m not achieving them. I need to look at why I’m not in terms of myself. The self that my conscience is aware of. The self that I ignore because of fear or just lack of awareness.
Okay fine I need to consult my conscience, but how the heck do I do it? I tried listening; deep listening with meditation, writing the first thing that comes to mind, etc., etc. Ya never really felt any of those things worked so after a week I just gave up.
A year and a half later I try again, very desperate this time, very humbled at what I actually don’t know. So I give it a go. I ask questions and oddly enough I get responses. It’s weird when I write it like that but it’s true. I get responses from my subconscious and thye’re helpful!! It was much easier than I’ve always thought. Much easier!! I was stressing out about how I thought it would take forever to build a skill like this. That was definitely not the case.
I was so desperate I actually did what people were originally saying. I was relaxing, I was emptying my mind and I was making contact!! Nothing is more empowering than to do something you thought earlier to be impossible. There’s no better motivation. No better.
So now I’ve come to the point where I’m talking to my subconscious on a regular basis. I discuss things with it. I ask it questions. I’m building the connection between my subconscious and my conscious mind. I’m able to access information my conscious mind was completely oblivious to better. It’san awesome feeling to learn more about yourself, to realize that the you were actually scared of the unknown, actually sad that this or that happened, actually happy that something bad happened. It’s amazing to really find the truth and overcoming the distortion that you usually experience when you only rely on your consciousness.
I’ve been open to a new world of possibilities were I can find the truth about myself and actually do things with my life. Actually accomplis goals, be successful, be what I’ve always wanted to be; a successful and constantly growing person. Now I’m working towards achieving my goals and then setting goals even higher than the ones before. I am surpassing myself everyday. I’m growing.
It’s an awesome feeling and I hope that my brief description of my experience will start to spark curiosity in you to try it for yourself. First I’ll let the curiosity spark, settle and then I’ll begin to write more articles about the subconscience. I need to go and dig up some old information I haven’t seen in about a year and soon I’ll be able to share it with you and you can see for yourself if this is something you want to try and experiment with for a few weeks.

Thanks for reading and I hope you decide to take this challenge up!!

To give a little background info about myself and OBEing:
- When I first came to the forum I tried to OBE about three times in four months. It wasn’t the best practice schedule but it still discouraged me from continuing to practice OBEing so I stopped and decided to concentrate on telepathy.

So now that I’ve provided a bit of background information, you can get a better glimpse into my point of view about OBEing and make better sense of my latest experience (which happened last night….or rather this morning.)

Last night, as I was trying to fall asleep I began to feel these strange physical sensations. I am not a stranger to these weird sensations and I always thought them to be a heightened sense of blood pressure in the body. I never really paid too much attention to the feelings, but this morning the word VIBRATIONS popped into my head and I made the connection; I was experiencing the vibrations people describe before they OBE. This excited me because for the first time it seemed truly possible for me to experience an OBE. (I realized why I never made the connection before; the sensation always felt more like a pulsation rather than a vibration, but whatever you want to call it is fine with me, they both point to the same thing.)

Now that I have made the connection I decided to look into OBE’s a little deeper. I tried to recall ANY information I remember learning about lucid dreams and tried to make certain connections. One piece of information that caught my attention was the term REM Motor Atonia (a term I learned randomly in Zoo class. You can find a more thorough definition at www.sleepnet.com and search their search engine.) REM Motor Atonia is when your body disconnects your motor neurons to your consciousness keeping you from acting out your dreams. (On a side note if you’re wondering about sleepwalking and it’s connection to REM Motor Atonia, sleepwalking ONLY occurs during while you’re in a deep Non-REM sleep. If you would like to know more about sleep cycles, go to the National Sleeping Foundation; www.sleepfoundation.org.)
So lucid dreaming is where you are consciousness during REM sleep —> the cycle where your dreams occur in. During the REM cycle breathing becomes irregular and shallow; eyes move in various directions; if conscious, one will experience temporary paralysis due to REM Motor Atonia.

With these connections, one doesn’t necessarily have to put the body to sleep in the way in which it is explained in the articles on the main site. Instead just try to induce REM sleep by causing REM Motor Atonia to occur on command. This would of course require some skill in DMILS, but you can develop your skill with practice. If you don’t know what DMILS is you can find out more by clicking this google link: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=DMILS+&btnG=Search.
I truly believe that the subconscious knows exactly how to acquire and use psionic skills but I do also firmly believe that you can acquire these skills quicker if you understand what is going on at a conscious level.

So hopefully these connections will help you improve your skill quicker and understand what is happening better. If you think my thought process and connections are faulty, just say so and we’ll talk about it. Other than that I want to know if this helps people understand OBEing better, because I know for sure it has helped me.

To go back to that night, I never had an OBE, but I am sure that if I continue to explore OBE’s in this kind of sense, it’s just a matter of time before I have my first experience.

Comment the article and tell me what you think about this.

As you may already know, telepathic suggestion is when you telepathically suggest to someone else a thought, command or emotion. Basically, you are influencing them to do what you want whether it is beneficial for you, for them, or for someone else.

On PsiPog, there are has been much debate about the ethics surround TPS; should you use this ability, should you not use this ability. It’s a very difficult issue to discuss because there are so many different angles and spins you can put on this and it’s very hard to come to a general concensus.

As for myself, when you use telepathic suggestions, I believe you are taking that person’s freedom to think and make decisions on their own. You are manipulating them to do something without their consent. (There may be incidents where it was with their consent, but I will go into that later.) I believe that NO ONE has the right to take that inalienable from ANYONE, unless they got consensus from the person.

I do believe there are times when people forfeit this inalienable right though. If there was someone that wished to do harm to me in ANYWAY, rape, assault, murder, and other negative things, I believe that I have the right to protect myself from any negative onslaughts from others. I would not just sit there and let mess with me like that and I don’t expect anyone to let that happen to themselves either. No one has the right to do me harm, unless of course I did something harmful to them.

Now here’s a spin on the discussion. What if someone came up to you and said they don’t like a certain part of their personality and they want to change it but have gotten no success. You tell them you can help them by telepathically suggesting the change they want. They say yes and this equals consent. So I think in this particular situation since they are willing giving up their freedom of choice (in a sense), telepathic suggestion would be an appropriate step to take. If the telepath overexceeded their mandate and decided to mess with the person a little bit is UNACCEPTABLE. Overexceeding what the person allowed is violating their right of freedom of choice and is obviously unacceptable.

“Meditation can renew both mind and body. By Pacifying stress that is based upon projection, true relaxation can be attained. What spring forth will be in accordance with your real needs.”
-I Ching no. 52

So you want to practice psi? Well in order to be successful you need VISUALIZATION. As said by Jerry Lynch, “Visualization is an active form of meditation in which you relax and choose to view images in your mind’s eye that will influence your emotions and energy.” (Thinking Body Dancing Mind, pg 16)What does this mean? It means, the more you visualize a positive, or negative outcome, of a practice session the more in that direction you will go. So if you visualize yourself being able to move the psiwheel in complete control and continue to visualize this outcome for some time, eventually you will be able to move the psiwheel the way you want to.

Visualization is not just important when practicing Psychokinesis, it is also important when practicing energy manipulation as well. Let’s say you want to make a psi-cube. Well what do you do? You sit down in a comfortable position, relax, and imagine the psi energy flowing to your hands and taking the shape of a cube. The more your practice this visualization the quicker and easier it will become to execute.

In order to be successful you need to keep the images positive. If suddenly you visualize yourself doing something that’s not positive and losing confidence in yourself, just gently remind yourself that others before you have done what you are trying to do and since you and that you have the same power to do what they can do.

Many famous athletes have used visualization to help them succeed; Jack Nicklaus, Mary Lou Retton, Elizabeth Manley, Sue Holloway. That doesn’t mean you can’t use the same method they do. Make the situation advantageous for yourself; visualize.

Here’s a quick run through of what a visualization session can be like.

In order to relax, we will be concentrating on deep abdominal breathing. It’s very simple. You breath through your and not through your mouth. Breath slowly and deeply and pay attention to your chest and abdomen and it moves with your breathing. Remember to not breathe forcefully because this may cause you to hyperventilate (not to mention you may relaxation).

Breathe deeply for five counts and feel yourself relax and focus. After you have breathed five times, begin visualizing what you want to accomplish. Spend as much time as you want for this part. You can spend five to 60 minutes if you want. It doesn’t matter.

Make sure that as soon as you are done visualizing, you do not want to abruptly snap out of this relaxing meditative state. Breathe deeply for five counts again and then slowly bring yourself back.

The key to visualization is being calm, passive and relaxed while visualizing. This will bring about the best most effective results because in a calm relaxed state you have more focus. You need to try and put fourth as much energy as you can to staying focused to your visualization. This technique will become easier for you when you practice, so make sure you try to practice visualizing as often as you have skill sessions.

Hope this helps. If you need help or just want to give me feedback, just leave a comment or email me.

It seems to me that a lot of noobs don’t have much direction when it comes to psionics. They don’t know how to practice and what they want. I figured I would make a guide to help them organize their thoughts and help them become good psions.

I’ve written about a page or two already. I’ll post what I have so far. I haven’t revised what I have done yet, so don’t shoot me if I’ve missed something or made a mistake. If you do see something though, don’t be afraid to say so.

Here goes:

Psionics. Where to begin?

So you have decided you want to practice psi and don’t know where to begin. When for most noobs if they aren’t shown any kind of direction they can get flustered with what to do and how to do it. There are many different skills that you can learn and many different approaches to learning them. Most people are usually attracted to psionics because of psychokinesis, but I’m going to keep this guide a general one.

Before we even begin to learn psionics, you NEED to understand that if you want to progress and become a skilled psion you need to be determined. The only way to get better is to PRACTICE. There are no shortcuts, no special elixirs that will give you more power, etc. I cannot stress this enough.

Now that I’ve said this, you need to ask yourself this question ‘Why do I want to learn psionics?’ You have to be honest with yourself when you ask this question. I think the best reason to study psionics is because you want to learn more about yourself. With this kind of mindset I have noticed that your chances of succeeding are better because your intentions are pure.

Another important question you need to ask yourself another question, ‘What do you want out of psionics?’ ‘Do you want to become a master of your trade?’ ‘Do you just want to know enough so you can show off to your buddies?’ This shouldn’t be a difficult question to answer, but some really don’t know what they want. If you don’t know what you want, ask yourself if you are willing to put the time and the effort into what you are doing. If you find that you will not be dedicated enough to accomplish your wants then practicing psionics is NOT for you. I don’t mean any offense, but like I said in the end dabbling into psionics is serious and you can hurt yourself and/or others. You need to be willing to do the research, practice, and learn your limitations. Learning psionics isn’t a walk in the park. It’s tough and it will challenge you.

Now that we have that taken care of here is a list of different abilities you can learn:
Psi manipulation (psi balls, constructs, shields, etc.)
Remote Viewing
Telepathy/Empathy
Precognition
Out of Body Experiences
Psychokinesis

You don’t have to just choose one skill and only do that skill; you can do as many as you want. I think that it’s best to dabble with all the different skills because then you’ll understand the big picture better rather than just getting one perspective. Hopefully you know what I mean by that.

Before starting your training, there are a few prerequisites/skills that should be learned before practicing psi. Granted, once you begin practicing you will eventually learn these skills, but it’s best to learn them before because they help quicken your progress and you learn the skill(s) on a ‘deeper’ level (which in the end should be your goal.). You also lower the risk of injury while training because through these prerequisites you will learn your limitations and how to overcome them safely and intelligently. You have to learn what to do that is best for you or else you can seriously injure yourself.

It’s like going out for a sport. Let’s say you want to start playing tennis. Before you start playing you begin to train your body physically by doing light warm-ups and then gradually making the warm-ups harder. By not warming-up, you run the risk of injuring yourself very badly and serious injuries can cripple your chances of playing that sport for the rest of your life.

Here is a list of skills in order of which ones should be learnt first:

(Note #1: There are many different opinions on what should be learned first, but through research and experience this is what I strongly feel should be taught.
Note #2: When beginning to learn these skills one can usually learn others in the process. For example, let’s say you are learning to meditate, well in order to meditate you must also learn patience. All these skills coincide with each other, so if you are learning one skill, you may find you are also learning another at the same time.)

Disciplines
Skills
1. Determination/Persistence
1. Meditation
2. Discipline
2. Relaxation/Centering
3. Patience
3. Shutting Down
4. Concentration/Focus
4. Grounding
5. Positivism

6. Passivity/Flexibility

So why do I need to learn all of this before I start practicing? Well in order to answer this question you will answer questions to a survey that will tell you why you really want to learn psionics. Please take your time when answering these questions because it’s very important that you are honest with yourself in order to find out the real reason(s) as to why you would like to practice psionics and what are you willing to do in order to be the best psion you can be.
