Welcome aboard, blackdot. 

Unfortunately I don't have any answers to your questions, though, as I practically have no experience with astral projection. Maybe it'll work itself out as you become more familiar with the process.

Thanks

I think I have figured out why I cannot project at night now

"The only success I've had with the CD so far was suddenly, while fully conscious, feel my left arm catapult into the air as if it had just gotten shot out a cannon.  The amount of pressure on my arm was incredible!  I think the amazement of that feeling quickly killed the effect because nothing else happened and I felt more normally awake after that.  But I think with practice it is only a matter of time before I will start to notice and get used to that sort of thing and then it should work!  I will keep trying too. "

From what I now believe is that no CD is necessary but may help, which is of course true. Though I am going to start focusing on simply relaxing, meditating before I fall asleep at night, it seems like a far more effective way. Although many people say a CD can be useful.

" Why do you think you haven't had success yet? "

I think its mostly because I wasn't (1) Clear in the head at the time of trying to AP.  (meaning I was under the influence of pot. (2) Have not yet relaxed and reached that comfortable sate where you give strong vibes (yet any vibes at all). Although I do recall I think now that I type this, I have gotten vibes before. (3) I feel i get stuck for words, for example when I call for guide, I simply do not know how to ask for one. Although today brought new research and questions answered. I guess it is as simple as acknowledging that you are in the dream state and its ok to project ('I am in a dream now. Guidance can you help me find something to do?' -- would that work? :S)

As this is my welcome thread I forgot to mention my age and I guess I should say so as everyone else here probably knows each others ages.

I am 17  years old. I am a well rounded person, I guess it is because I grew up with an adult who was also. I am very wise, intelligent for my age. I have written  many software applications, and know a computer like the back of my hand. (I know how to develop high quality, profesional work for industry leading professionals. -- My skills on the computer are as follows (for those who care :S); i can build websites both construction and creation, i can build computers, 3d models & animation, create software with the computer programming language C++ (I have currently developed 3 advanced administration utilities for game servers), I also know a bit of linux.I own my own company which is successful. We currently offer Information & Internet Security services, Server Hosting (game, voice & dedicated), Computer Assembly & Repair.  I have my business license and interested investors. I love learning and feel the purpose of life itself is to continue to learn and become 'wiser'. I feel like I have accomplished many things already in this lifetime. I guess you can say I feel good and happy and take each day as a new learning experiance. I am currently working on a story. Im some-what anti-social I guess you could say. I have what I feel became s-t-r-o-n-g-l-y spiritual enlightened over the last few months.

I am currently looking toward to my first successful AP experience. I feel I am very close.

"like when you wake up in the morning or after a nap."

Yes I have read many many post over the past week on when you wake up trying, I think ill do that

"So what has happened over the past months to make you feel enlightened?  Had any specific experiences?"

This is what I can put together, one night a few months ago I was relaxed and everything. (having no knowledge of AP'ing or in that fact, no knowledge of the afterlife :S). I asked the 'Holy Father' to let me have a vission, or some type of spirtual enlightement to guide me to the truth as I was feeling very down (spirtual wise. I think a week passed and I for some odd reason started to research the afterlife. I stumbled upon this site probably a week ago and every morning until dawn I do nothing but ready this forum, the site and Astral Projection forums. I like to hear experiances from others. I have been strongly researching AP for the last week and I am loving it, I don't know about spirtitual enlightment but the past few months I have felt the erg to explore, learn and what not. It somewhat feels as if someone is guiding me here heh. Wants me to learn more about AP and\or the afterlife. I have a neighbor who is 17 also and he said in the mornings if he doesnt open his eyes and is still laying there he can project and 'walk' around his house, so its neet to inspire and meet other believers.

I have a question, when will earth (or humanity) 'wake up' heh.

*EDIT* I think I can project myself though I just do not know what to do when there. Anyone have a suggest on what I can learn? or can I simply learn anything I desire by just imaging?
