Thanks for the reply :-) I hardly check or post here anymore, but have had so many more OBEs and LDs that I now understand the difference. LD and OBE are indeed similar, yet to me the mode of entry to the experience is what distinugishes one from the other. Many LDs happen when you simply wake up al...

[ OBE - "Enlightenment Now!" ] "For the sake of all sentient beings throughout time and space, I will train in sleep and dreams and I shall attain perfect enlightenment"... I had remembered hearing something like this in the audio program on Tibetan Dream Yoga by Andrew Holocek....

Sounds good, always happy to discuss these ideas with you Summerlander :-) And if you have time too, I always appreciate your perspective and guidance on my recent OBEs as you have been having them for years and I really value your input as an experienced practitioner!

[OBE w/ Mantras, Mandalas, Deity Yoga, Emanation, Transformation] Had a very long OBE Friday night which was the hardest to remember of all the OBEs I have ever had, there seemed to be a lot of gaps in how I got from one place to another. I had been having phase like experiences like CEVs and vibra...

I am familiar with the general concept of Black Swan events, and started to read Taleb's book Antifragile so have some familiarity with the author. From what I was able to search just now it didnt seem like he has died yet? Anyway, if I follow you correctly you are saying that Tart might have had a ...

[OBE into a Mandala CEV, more galactic adventures] I went to bed around 11:30 after doing hemisynch, and lots of affirmations that I would have a lucid dream, etc. At 4 AM I woke and tried techniques like looking for images, phantom wiggling, listening in, kept this up for a long time but no OBE. D...

You need to look at the pseudo-scientific source. Look at the name of the website. Also, Charles Tart is a parapsychologist which means that his reasoning is already compromised! LOL! The Miss Z case is something that I encountered years ago and it proves nothing. The experiment that never been rep...

[OBEs validated by scientific study]

http://www.spiritscienceandmetaphysics. ... fic-study/

Skeptics will argue that all it really proves is Remote Viewing, but those skeptics would of course be people who have not themselves had an OBE ;-)

Well we have that same rejection of the Catholic background and adherence to hard science, I spent most of my advanced education and most of my career in hard science and nanotechnology. I have seen gold atoms move and dance in tune with my voice despite being shielded by an air isolation table, a v...

[9 Hz Bursts Correspond To Lucidity] The author of the book Advanced Lucid Dream Supplements, Thomas Yuschak has written some interesting papers where he analyzes EEG data from self experimentation in lucid dreaming. In the following article: http://lucidconsciousness.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/...

Please forgive the late reply, and thanks again for your well considered reply Summerlander! Yes, I guess I can feel a bit better having seen various papers published by LaBerge related to Tibetan Dream Yoga. I even came across one interesting study where they got volunteers to do breathing exercise...

Wow SUmmerlander, that was a long and detailed post, and please forgive me if I cant do it justice with an equally long reply! Definitely some things I had not considered in there, especially with regard to NDE etc. I can tell you have given the subject a great amount of thought, and appreciate you ...

Hey FateTrader, welcome! Your experience sounds very familiar to those of us who have had OBEs, you are well on your way. Dont worry if it takes a week or two or even a month. Or you may have success your very next attempt. The fact that you had a partial separation means success is just around the ...

Agreed, not science, which is why I stated they did not prove what they set out to. I see a lot of pseudo science articles trying to prove such things, and it is unfortunate. I think people like Chopra co-opt modern science to try prove what they feel intuitively. That is their perrogative though, j...

[Consciousness And Death] Thought provoking article, I do not see how they 'proved' what they set out to, I doubt there may ever be a real proof as such. However, the experience of an OBE can give you a sense that is like a personal proof that consciousness can survive outside of the body somehow......

[I Never See My Body...] I was just reading some experience reports in SOBT and a lot of them are worried about seeing their body and fouling, or having the need to get away from their home because they are too close to the body. I realized I have had many OBEs in my apartment, and despite often loo...

[Gamma Brain Waves - Lucid Dreamers Faster Than Monks?] So tonight I found this article stating that lucid dreamers have the fastest brain waves ever, which somewhat contradicts the other articles I posted saying the French monk had them. Yet, the article mainly talks about the monks and not the luc...

[3 OBEs in one morning, Translocations, Galantamine Full Dose Report - 1/5/2014] ***Note - for anyone reading who has not yet attained the phase on their own, it is not suggested you try supplementation as this can create a crutch and may not work anyway. So 2 days ago I tried a half dose of Galant...

[More On Gamma Brain Waves] The following paper states that Tibetan monks were measured to have Gamma waves all the way up into the 80 to 120 Hz range. http://www.quantumconsciousness.org/EEGmeditation.htm I did read another paper where they mentioned that some researchers are skeptic about acceptin...

As of recently I am much better at the first two, they seem to at least be in my control. The last two items are fickle for me. I tend to have a plan of action, but sometimes struggle to remember it fully in the Phase. Fortunately I seem to improvise well at present because there are so many things ...

[Gamma Brain Waves and the Phase] Was thinking a bit about the info from SOBT and Summerlander's recent article regarding 40 Hz brainwave cycles being present during Phase activity. It seems that our brains operate much more efficiently at Gamma, and can integrate all of our experiences together fas...

[Galantamine half dose report] So I tried a 4 mg Galantamine pill of "Galantamind" after sleeping from about 12:30 to 4:15. I reset the thermostat because I felt a bit cold, then went back to bed. I remember thinking that I had been lying in bed without falling asleep when I remembered hav...

[Galantamine] So today I got some Galantamine in the mail. Sometime within the next week, depending upon how I feel, I may try using it. I do not intend to use it often, but rather again as an experiment similar to the Remee mask. I would not be doing this if I did not have phase experience under my...

So I have tried using the Remee twice now. The device does NOT detect your REM sleep, so really it is not much more than a fancy eye mask with timed LEDs. This is not to say it is bad, but you have to expect to use it a certain way that is different than the masks that are supposed to detect your RE...

[Kundalini Rising and Astral projection] I have heard a lot about Kundalini rising and have always been curious as to what it really is like. Looking back on how crazy an energetic experience my first phase separation was and reading the descriptions of Kundalini rising it made me curious if they we...

[Took a Supplement in the Phase] Forgot this part, in the OBE above, after practicing telekinesis, I noticed a bottle of pine pollen tincture on the table. This is something that I take in real life, it helps naturally enhance your testosterone levels. I had as a future POA item to do something to ...

[1/1 2014 Back to Back OBEs, Telekinesis, Higher Self (kinda)] Went to bed late again around 2 am, and tossed and turned till probably 2:30 before sleeping. Decided to use the Remee sleep mask again as an alarm for doing the deferred method. This time I got no vibration enhancement from it because ...

Very cool Summerlander, looking forward both to the book and to your painting! I am looking forward to using the phase in such constructive ways as well. I had my first back to back OBE experience last night, and managed to take some medicine for the first time (well more like a supplement, namely p...

[Stereograms as an analogy for deeping the Phase] It has been a long time since I looked at a stereogram, those 2D pictures that become 3D when you defocus your eyes correctly. Today I saw a web post devoted to the subject and as I looked at the various stereograms, I felt a sense of deja vu when t...

14/12/2011: After arriving home from work at 11pm (previous day), I had a ham and cheese sandwich and a cappuccino.  Before going to bed at 1.50am, I mentally rehearsed my plan of action for the phase.  The first step involves travelling to the octangular point of arrival within my devised metaphys...
