hi again Ryan I've been wanting to talk to u a long time and just realized it.
what I see is some similarities of our respective obes and this helps me. the vibrations I have never been able to lift off from the vibrations themselves   so I soon learned to just observe them as it was plain as the nose on my face the more I tried to lift off from that suspended animation of lovely flowing vibrations the more I just was trying too hard, all dressed up for a party and no where to go!!!
now I seldom get those overpowering vibrations with the boom and the quake and it felt like PUL too.  what I considered later with thought and meditation on it that these vibrations were my energy body or my light body however you want to call it. at first I thought it came from outside of me, then decided that can't be right. it has to be myself and I know it had something to do with excitement and desire for this exploration but I had to control the excitement and shift into perceiving, then when I woke up in C1 I would go into interpretation mode.   so u are way ahead of me if you can manage not to get over-excited or shocked anymore once you are out and know it! I relate to the annoyed part of..oh god...I'm waking up!
I think you got the idea that we're teaching here about the feeling and the intention go together..yes state intention. what I have done is state intention and then forget I stated intention...next thing I know I'm flying somewhere and asking myself how did I get here?   so I suppose stating intention and remembering that you stated the intention last tuesday would certainly make us more lucid out there!
when u use your imagination that is where the feeling of remembering how it felt to be out, flying, or retrieving or feeling pul, bringing that to your mind as you imagine another flight will really speed things up for you my opinion and you answer your own question. but maybe its ok to state an intention then just forget about it like I do?
maybe I'm releasing it that way so I don't go into doubt mode?  hmmm.
doubts will interfere for sure. or cause a block in energy flow of the astral vehicle.
I think it has something to do with trusting you'll be ok out there because you're basically connected to everything thats out there, people included.
I'm starting to get over-excited

thanks Ryan for being here..love, alysia

Hi Cathy! do u mean are we constrained or subjected to time? no way! haha!
if the PE happens every Saturday if its saturday in your country..(australia?) then anytime is ok.  your intentions, all of our intentions will form an energy thought ball that we can tap into with the 3 "P's": practice, prayer and persistence. hey! I just made that up!  I'll look for you there. it would be nice to synchronize everyone but we are all in different time zones, so guess we have to go to the all time zone where no time is like the present.  ahhh, I better get off the computer..talk soon!
