For the last 30 years I have been having the “classic” Robert Monroe type OOBE where just before falling asleep I feel vibrations throughout my body and experience the sensation of leaving my body. I would always be totally blind and could see nothing until about 10 years ago when I learned to “will” myself to see.

Just two months ago after talking to a psychic on the phone, my OOBEs have increased dramatically to where I have them spontaneously or on demand just about every day. I have full vision and can will myself to go any direction I want, but I rarely see my immediate physical surroundings like my bedroom or house, etc. I usually find myself in some kind of wonderland or funhouse with inhabitants. I’m doing this while sober by the way.

I want to learn to explore the afterlife, but I usually get pulled back into my body within 2 minutes. As soon as I think about my body lying in bed asleep, I get pulled back immediately into my body. Sometimes after this happens, I still feel the vibrations and can lift out again only to get sucked back a couple minutes later.

I’m basically just muddling my way around and not getting any quality time to explore. I haven’t yet been able to communicate with another non-physical entity though I can see other people occasionally. I am very interested in learning the “phasing” technique that Bruce teaches and have his Afterlife Exploration Guidebook.

Does anyone know if I would be better able to control my afterlife exploration using this method rather than the classic OOBE? I have been practicing using the Afterlife Exploration Guidebook, but really have no idea what Focus Level (if any) I am in. I get to a certain point where I can block all random incoming thoughts, worries and mindless chatter out and just focus on an area of consciousness where I see a multitude of visual imagery. Sometimes its random colors, cartoon animation, scenery, people, characters, and all kinds of things. I try to feel motion like I am moving. I don’t know if that is something you are supposed to do.

Some of what I see, I feel I am controlling and some of it seems to appear on its own. Every so often, I dip just a bit “deeper” into trance and can hear nonsensical words. I have to be deeper into relaxation before I begin hearing things. I never get to the point where I feel I am having a classic OOBE and can float around and move in any direction.

Does anyone know if this is normal for a beginner? Am I going in the right direction, but just haven’t tuned in to the right Focus Level? Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Dave
