A partnered retrieval* is most appropriate to this board and our participants here.

Every institution known to man has been doing research in these areas for decades. No sum of results has ever satisfied a particular set of individuals who make a living at debunking.

* I did my partnered retrieval bits years and years ago. There is a call now for partnered retrieval volunteers in that sub-forum.

The numbers here of doers vs. talkers is unknown to me. Been absent from this board for at least seven years. I'm in occasional contact with some of the "old guard" but we've largely gone our own ways.

I'm at work at what I do every single day including Sundays and holidays. Very little I can offer in the way of teaching. Bruce is a good resource for that. I'm aware of very few who do what I do. Our work is technical and, yes, we see Real World (TM) results. That work is necessarily out of the public eye. There's no advertising, no YouTube channels, no meet-and-greets.

What else may I answer?

--> Real World (capitalized) + (TM) where (TM) = Trademark <-- is joke. It is to laugh.

My "technique" as you coin it, is full embodiment.

As stated above and in multiple other place Here (TM), I personally find OBE to be a waste of time, an annoyance and a hindrance to my work. If I had to do OBE just to get anything done I'd never get anything done.

In the belief you (personal you) read Bruce's material, he also sought proofs. He did so himself, and Bruce documented the search for proof extensively. You (personal and plural) also need to find your own proof. This is done by doing it yourself.

Vicky has an APB out for partnered retrievals as we speak.

APB = All Points Bulletin, also known as a "cattle call". Come one, come all. Vicky is a Super Admin here and is taking over Bruce's duties as board monitor. So the invitation for partnered explorations comes from on top.

Embodiment means exactly what it sounds like. OBE = Out of Body Experience. Embodiment = staying fully IN the body.

In my experience, very few people are willing to fully embody for reasons I sketched above. There are long-standing understandings in most areas that can basically be summarized as: the body is corrupt and the spirit is pure. Can't get to heaven unless you die and other such nonsense. I mean: who the sam hill is telling anyone they have to die to be free? What a load of crap. 'Scuse me.

So there's a long standing tradition on this planet (and elsewhere) that OBE is the path to .... whatever it is one believes is only accessible by leaving the body. It's nonsense, pure and simple, in my experience.

How does one fully embody?

Heh.

Nobody ever told you that, did they? Many of us have somewhat tenuous relationships with our bodies. We don't listen to them. We tell them to shut up. And on and on. Proof? I'm tired but I'm going to stay up to watch the end of this movie. We all do it all the time. And much worse. We blame our bodies for pretty much anything and everything ....

Embodiment begins with being fully present to our body, hey? Sometimes that's no so pleasant for people who've been abusing their bodies for a long while.

That's where it begins. We open a new relationship with our body.

And what is it, exactly, I do when I begin work? Certainly I pay a great deal of attention to my body. I work with my eyes open, at a desk. No magic decks of cards, no blessed offerings, no smells and bells, I am my own sacred space. No OBE. I just go to work.

The work our teams engage in has very little to do with afterlife retrievals. Thus I don't mention it here unless some aspect is relevant to the general discussion. As repeatedly stated elsewhere, and now here, I've thrown away all the books. On completely new ground. I don't care a whit about what famous person A or B says or what sacred text this or that says, or what I should find when I go to work. I find what I find and go on to the next.

HTH (Hope this helps)

How does one explain doing OBE "at will"? Same as one explains riding a bicycle "at will". You can't do it until you do it, and the only way to do it is to do it. "I'm riding a bike!" Anyone tell you how to that? Probably not. Someone (Dad, Mom, Sis, Bro) plunked you on a bike and .... somehow you learned. And then it was easy. But you ultimately did it yourself.

OBE. Big deal. We all do it. Easy as caek. It's what we did as kids every single night. "I'm going to bed and I can fly! I can be free! Wheeee!" And off to the astrals we go, where we can fly and explore and have all kinds of fun that we can't do because our doggone body won't let us walk through walls like we can when we are OBE.

The Matrix reference -> There is no spoon. <-

Been asked elsewhere here how I do what I do, e.g. go to work without OBE etc. etc. I just do it. In my full embodiment. How does one explain what it is to be fully embodied when almost nobody on this planet is fully embodied?

There is no spoon.

Hello Good People.

I think there is some confusion about Out of Body Experience or not.  Not everyone goes OB to go to the 'other-side'.  I have never had that experience even as a child.  I didn't learn to fly until I started doing retrievals and my helpers taught me by telling me to step off a cliff because "You can fly now."  They had fun teaching me by taking me on some 'thrill rides' across the sky and into outer space.   They only stopped because I told them I was there to do retrievals and not just have fun. 

I learned to do retrievals from Bruce Moen's books using imagination to get there.  I also read the retrieval forum for days at a time trying to learn from others who were doing the same thing.  I did find out most do something a little different from their peers.  

I'm a firm believer in "Whatever works".  If it works for you than that is what you should do.  No one should make hard and fast rules for others.  We each have to find our own way.

I hope this helps.

I have regularly OBE and this experience is so stunning and clear it can not be confused with anything else as far as im concerned. If i miss something here please do not hesitate.
