I was about to have a full OBE I belive, some time ago but I was stopped it because I didn't know what was about to happen to me .
I realise that you can interact with the scenes in which you are only that not always I can make it happen. As Justin and LaughingRain advice I will go along with the experiences and see what comes up in time.
I can't help wandering what are the stages of developement and perception? can you define them, how they are structured. As it is now I have only vague perceptions and it's not very clear what happens. You are right that from a scene you make up in your mind as you progress some unexpected things are popping up.
Can or should I continue the developement from focus 10 or should also try focus 12? Are things more advanced from there or from higher focuses?

Spooky is right I think, to follow the tapes and be persistent, and patient, and tune into what you might see as your higher self or a guide helping you.
I wouldn't throw in the towle just yet Lia.

have you seen any blackness? Bruce talks about 3d blackness when first starting out. then you might see a tiny speck of something and follow that in your mind, see what it is, if you can perceive any image trying to unfold.
the only advice I can give is that I do see images sometimes. I learned to "play along" with them, to see what they change into something I can perceive.

then if you play along with it, you still have to interpret it with the other half of the brain. you may even have to reinterpret it after you've thought you had it interpreted correctly, so thats where the patience might be utilized in these sorts of meditations.
then some of us may not "see" but we may "hear."
some are more visual, some are more auditory developed.
if you have the tapes though, keep at it, much work has been put into them and I trust they will help you. love, alysia

Hi Lia, yes sweetie it is indeed my self same experience. glad to meet you. and so glad that you have reduced your stress level. same here. peace has descended is the way I put it, as fear is displaced by trust in your process of what you are discovering as u open to new ways of opening up to your greater self.
you describe it well. the entire process and u didn't use many words, so I may be reading between the lines and don't want to misinterpret your words..so I'll just tell you a brief similar story/experience I had which u reminded me of.

I was best friends with my foreign neighbor Gabi. I found her "out there" even before I moved to Roswell. what I call spirit guidance, who would be a friend while I was in that town. we are taken care of by spirit guidance, although my words are unsuitable for many.

so she was having visa problems unknown to me. one night I dreamed a man had authority over her, in the dream he seemed to be her father.
I saw her trust was misplaced in this man due to something that he was ignorant about. not that he was evil, but he had been trusting his secretary to take care of Gabi's paperwork and the secretary he had hired had quit and left town.
____
at one point in reality Gabi came and told me that she might be sent back to Germany against her will if the papers did not come straightway, and she had paid a lot of money for her visa and was also trying to get her money back and start the papers over.
as it turned out in reality she hired another agency only after getting into a big brawl with the first agency as the man in my dream, portrayed as her father not only was the issue agent of her visa, he had become in his mind, her protector, like a father.
(she has this little girl quality and she's cute, but don't let that fool you!)

I thought the dream was interesting with the symbol of father and daughter roles going on, as well all the stress of her being born "legal" into this country.
I gave her my dream as a warning to move onto another agency quickly, which she did almost on the same day, so maybe I was supposed to be a part of the action to help her decide what to do. it turned out ok in the end.

I have these type of dreams sporadically. they are not predictable items, but definetely fall under precognition, which makes us question our ideas of what is linear time and what is a series of events which happen in linear time and whether in that case, our destiny is somewhat under our control if we would be using these precognitions to help another person.  love, alysia

I think you shared your story just fine Lia whether you are left brained I didn't have a clue, seems like precognitions though use the right side of the brain?
thats what I think anyway.
oh dear. you called me nice. I was hoping I would not get that reputation but its too late!

Quite interesting. Apparently, the spooky folks can't stand it for a longer while to be exposed to lovely vibes. I like your approach to that atmosphere, you noticed a bad vibe, but you kept on being positive; this "it's just me" let you always keep controlling the situation and not fear overruning you. That's the good thing about phasing as opposed to OBE, in OBE's it can happen that one forgets that it isn't the physical, and forget that you can't get physically hurt, while with phasing you're normally aware of that it is nonphysical, so the physically related fears won't come up.

Here and there I came across what can be called negative entities. But, looking back, it's more appropriate to call them "poor entities", as they believe they need to drag other people down, or are just very depressive, or narrow minded. They might look evil or bad when I let it happen to become involved, either from fear, or own aggression. So, it fits in a way, "it's just me".

Spooky
