Hi everyone!
This is my first journal entry and I feel like I should have started one of these awhile ago. Therefore, this entry will be a recap/summary of my past experiences with what is known as an obe(out of body experiences) or astral projection. There are probably other terms that I'm unaware of but those are the two terms I come across most frequently. I'm not necessarily hooked on the idea that these terms explain what is really happening but whether it is your mind recreating whole worlds to the best detail or if you are in actuality traveling withing an "astral" plane of existence, it's awesome.
Prior to what has been happening to me as of lately I was unaware of what astral projecting was. I didn't have a clue of what it was even like. I barely believed in a soul or anything in that matter.
A little over a year ago home alone late at night, I walked into my living room to watch some tv. I was bored flipping through channels, I barely even watch tv! I decided to just lay there on my back on my couch with the tv still on. I closed my eyes and started to think. I started to think about the world, the universe, and how insignificant we on Earth really are. How insignificant our wars, our fighting, and political problems are. I started to get really deep into thought at this point. Some would say I was some sort of unintentional meditation. A warm, mellow vibration was pulsing through my body, it felt good. It seemed like I was continuing to dig deeper in my mind. At this point I entered a trance like state, unintentionally. Then, out of nowhere, that warm mellow vibration quickly turned into a heavy electrifying vibration. I remember it being so strong I felt as if I was bracing myself as if I was riding some sort of roller coaster or rocket ship. It was intense, but I loved it. In the back of my mind, I was fully aware of what was going on. I was not asleep, I was not dreaming, I was not on drugs, I don't know what the fuck is going on. I remember yelling as I was bracing myself for this ride, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAT THEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!" Then suddenly, as if the accelerating part of the ride to get up to speed ceased, the vibrations turned into a very pleasant resonance pulsing through my entire body. I was realized I was now in a duality of the consciousness, I was aware that I was lying on my couch and I was also aware that I was not lying on that couch. Ladies and gentlemen, at this point, it seems like I was orbiting planet Earth. That huge vibrational rush must have been me "launching" extremely fast off the surface of the Earth. I even decided to swoop down and fly across the United States from Chicago to Orlando, Florida. I remember seeing the city lights of houses, buildings, and skyscrapers illuminate like the night sky in the countryside. Thousands of tiny little glowing dots on a black canvas. After for what seemed like 30 minutes I started to hear my tv, which was on as I left it. My physical body must have been hearing this and I was able to hear it as I traveled and orbited the planet. I started to lose concentration I guess as the sound of my tv roared through my ears and in an instant I was back in my body, aware that I had "returned." I opened my eyes and asked myself what had happened. Whatever had happened, it was the most intense thing I have ever felt!
Days later, I wanted answers. I even told my Mom and some aunts about it, they responded, "what kinda crack you've been on?!" I then came to the conclusion that it is not a good idea to just tell anyone about this. I then went to google and searched the symptoms I had experienced, "heavy vibrational feeling throughout body." Something along those lines... To my surprise I found videos on youtube, blogs, websites, and books all describing in detail the same symptoms I had described. I realized other people all around the world have experienced what I have and there are answers! This was when I discovered that what I had that winter night was an unintentional spontaneous out of body experience/astral projection. I wanted for this to happen to me again, I loved it, it was an adventure, it was a ride! I tried to recreate what was going on in my mind that night over and over again for a few months on end, only ever being able to get to the point to where I would get the warm mellow vibrations, BUT NEVER ANY FURTHER!
Soon I gave up, forgot about it ever happening to me, until a year later(a little over 2 months ago) around the same day! I was in my bed one day ready to go to take a nap in the afternoon and suddenly I find myself getting those heavy vibrations, although not as intense as my first experience. I embraced it and let it take over. Soon I find myself standing in a hazed down version of my room with an odd atmospheric tone to everything. I walk up my stairs and into the living room where I see my family putting up a christmas tree. For some reason I'm in a really awesome goofy mood, although I was very excited that this happened to me again. I teased my grandfather who was sitting down on a chair. I teased them saying, "haaaaa you can't seem me, i'm invisible!, haaaaaa." At the same time I sort of hopped and danced around the Christmas tree, then my family gets very serious and panicky kind of. My Christmas tree had fallen. I instantly snapped back after that and went upstairs an hour later. I asked my Mom if the tree had fallen at all, she said yea, it was off balance.
My 3rd experience was a few days after my second. This experience was the weakest. I received the vibrations and then suddenly I find myself in my upstairs hallway. Everything looked different though. There was an odd purplish tint in the air. This hallway seemed like a dark version of it. I stood at the beginning of it, all doors were closed going down to the end. Something didn't feel right. It felt very creepy and dark. The walls felt like they wanted to cave in or something. I decided I wanted to stop and snapped back to my body.
That's the end of my obe/astral recap. Keep in mind that no experience was as powerful and as exciting as my very first one. Since then I've had two more experiences that have happened to me recently that I will write about in my next entry.
Thanks for reading!!
