I've read a lot of authors who mention getting stuck in their bodies, or a certain body part not wanting to come out.  It's common I guess and just takes work.  Right now I'm reading Robert Peterson's "Out of Body Experiences--How To Have Them and What to Expect".   He gives good detail of his many accounts.

But it is not necessary to go out of body in order to participate in a PE. 

Spooky, of course no one would mind you joining us!  The more the merrier! 

And about the time difference, I'm not sure what to say.  I will let Alysia handle that.  Ryan, I hope you have a great time with your family, I know how hard it is to be away from family and it's always great to see them again. 

I can't wait to see what happens either!  I am very excited.

Vicky

welcome Somebody..hee hee...you are not giving me much of an ident (ID signature) to find you by, but,  that's ok, I'll just go out looking for "somebody"
I welcome you here as this thread takes off and running, I'm actually thinking we need 5 more people to join our experiment as that's what I was given in a dream. so anybody who feels led to join in, well and good but we will just continue until we are either exhausted or satisfied whichever comes first!
Spooky, I assure you, you do me the honor of participating...I sense you are out there most the time anyway, may as well visit the group.
Ryan, why and how do you manage to bring me to gales of laughter with your descriptions of obes? I think I have your ID, the class clown, you will be easy to find then.  Chilipepperflea will either be crawling up to us, or he will be noticeable by his twisted neck...let us act like nothing is wrong when you see him! ha ha!
seriously, I know exactly what happens to not get out of the body when trying to go obe, as I was myself caught within my jaw lollygagging at my large teeth designed to chew meat I suppose...I have less teeth these days to worry about, so not to worry.
it's up to you what method to use, whether obe, whether attemping obe, or visualization/imagination, or the phasing which no one understands, right, but I just got a hint the imagination and phasing are very very similar! wow! I learn something everyday. just bring something back here, anything at all, even if it's only to tell me what color hat I'm wearing, that's fine, that will work. you could be wrong, but then what if you're right? you'll never know unless you speak up.
don't forget to ask for guidance from the highest source for the good of all of us. but we're safe, don't worry.  we can put it to Sundays would be better if all agrees, or leave it to saturdays...what do you all think?
we do like 4 weekends and then reacess if we continue, ok?
talk to me..alysia

yes Spooky I've done this before with gal in Australia. time doesn't matter, as where we go out, we are in a timeless zone. intentions probably matter the most. expectations probably don't matter at all. interpretations can get really crazy, but we can have fun with them.

just so long as maybe we all pick the same day probably be nice.
love, alysia

Excuse me for jumping in here, but
there is no-time 'out there.'  So if you set your Intent to meet them, you will, no matter what time or day you go. Time does not exist anywhere except here on Earth and it really doesn't exist here either, but we think it does. LOL 

Love, Mairlyn 

9/24/05  I wish the sensation of flight, high, high up, to soar, I will show others how I myself explore.  I’ve done this before and I know a spot where there are not too many telephone lines (human interpretations, the grid) to impede progress, but we must avoid these lines and not get caught in them. it is beautiful there and the valley and mountains and sky are natural and we made them for our pleasure. I soar very high then alight to ground and try to avoid the media which is annoying somewhat as I am a private person by nature. but I have nothing to fear and these others allay my fears for me, 3 others have found me out there as concerning this thread. they tell me others are waiting, we are all to congregate and speak together. within festivity and growth. a fence I am behind as i observe intentions operating, for intentions are individual and we all have to have a common intention. this is a ranch like place, not a city. probably means this thread. this is where it starts. so as I alight on the ground I allow myself to be approached by the 3 who could not catch me at first...I relax at the smiling face of the woman who talks to me. I think upon awaking this is Vicky only because of the picture I saw of her, of her great smile, I now have Vicky's signature. we all have a signature out there, it's like an ID card. she invites me to the meeting where we make futher plans and I agree I will go; how could I resist her smile? impossible! (note: putting up your mug shot is helpful to be able to locate a person "out there.") the other two are slightly behind her and quiet but just as eager, Vicky is more vocal and has more experiences and/or more outgoing, not sure, just something about her has leadership qualities - I sense we are  learning and open. when we soar we will find clarity of the clear blue skies. I will only point to them, not lead others. right now we simply gather at the table together.
not sure if this is the sum of our first meeting, but it looks good from here! post any dreams or anything you want here, even if it's not a full blown obe Ryan, it's still worth something if you think it is. love, alysia
(it has begun) 

Vicky, was wondering if you could copy and paste your experience with the guide in your hospital room over on the main thread? it would help a lot of people, truly it would!

Spooky some others were chasing me last night and they could not catch me...

do you see the similarities of our dream symbols?
this is the beginning of PE experiences.
keep it up, we are going to get better at this...
____

also, one more similarity...Vicky was inviting me to a restaurant setting where we would sit at a table. I didn't mention that before, as didn't think it was important, but now that you mention it, I think every detail would be important in these experiments.


I am going to use NM time and just before I sleep, but it doesn't matter what time on saturday we do it. as a part of me, an image like, will be in place already. I know this does not make sense! we will keep to the Saturday night idea in general for to keep it simple. I will wear a hat...see if you can see what I'm doing....or the surroundings. see if you can find us at table again.
I'd like everyone to just say what they think, we will not say you are wrong...as you cannot be wrong..it just an experiment...but we need to get an idea of a signature ID for each person. mine is just a nice person who wears a hat! I have Vicky's smile for her ID. I have Spooky's I think. I have Ryans enthusiasm and openness type ID, plus his face, if I can find these people ok, then they can find me too! may not be obe though, may just be dream or imagination type . imagination is just door you walk through. might be something interesting when u walk through this door. love to all, I know you are confused....its ok...just have fun with it.

Hi all,

I have just had a chance to catch up on all the new posts here.  Wow, already seeing me out there, huh?  Great, I can't wait for tonight.  I am getting ready for bed in a bit here but I've been busy all yesterday, worked today, and haven't been home all evening til now. 

This sounds like so much fun you guys, really it will be a blast to compare notes.  And I'm all for continuing to try until we all get some results.  I don't give up easy.

Love,
Vicky
