Recent Out of Body Experiences
November 18th, 2007 by John Wolfe
I’ve been so busy lately that I’ve been missing out on my daily meditations. Even if I get so engrossed with my physical activities that I start to overlook this fact, I’m always reminded of it while I sleep at night because my astral projection experiences inevitably increase.
I usually average some form of an out of body experience at least once every few weeks during my regular meditations. However, once I cease to meditate for several weeks straight, the OBE’s start coming to me during my sleep state. It’s almost as if something’s trying to tell me that if I’m not actively going to help the projections to induce, then they’ll find another way of occurring.
I feel we all unconsciously project while we dream, yet what’s interesting is that during these long stretches without meditating, I become hyperconscious of my nightly journeys into the astral. It’s been said that once we consciously open the door to the out of body state, it never truly shuts. I can now see how accurate that statement is.
So, I thought I’d take an opportunity in this post and the following one to share a few of my recent experiences.
During the course of the last several weeks I’ve found myself being woken up, on several occasions, by what I would categorize as severe vibrations. The feeling of vibrating is not something that’s new to me during the onset of an OBE, but I’ve never before felt it with as much intensity. The vibrations seem to stem from someplace within and recently I’ve felt as though I’m being internally shaken apart.
The experience is not painful but it grabs my attention very quickly. There’s always an intense roaring sound that accompanies the vibrations as well. As both grow stronger, they become more difficult to distinguish from one another, until they merge and then fade out.
Upon a recent encounter, after the succession of these sounds and sensations, I immediately detected detachment from my physical body (this occurs much faster for me when the OBE’s are induced during the sleep state). My room was starting to come into focus in that familiar out of body sensing I’ve become accustomed to, when I had a strong urge to move away from my bedroom and into the hallway.
On this particular occasion I was able to move with a unique fluidity that’s not typical during my projections. My point of awareness began twisting and undulating until it passed through the bedroom doorway.
As I progressed further into the hall I realized there was a shadowy presence standing on the first landing of the stairs. There was nothing that felt sinister about it, but the shock of seeing it caused a fearful response within me. The fear threw me out of control and my somewhat graceful undulations developed into erratic movements and quick spins.
I could sense the wall coming toward me and the last thing I recall (prior to thudding back into alignment with my physical body) was my consciousness passing through the light switch located at the top of the stairs. I seem to have an issue during my projections with going through what I believe are solid objects. In my astral experience with a tribal shaman, I immediately came back to my body as soon as I passed through the hut wall as well.
With regards to the shadowy figure- I’ve found it’s quite common during out of body experiences to encounter entities in the astral environment. Some may be other astral projectors, while many could be individuals that have passed on from an earthly existence. This is why I feel each and every earthly location has the opportunity to be “haunted.”
I believe that we all have forms of “spirit activity” that may be moving in and out of our homes at different times. But they are doing so a dimensional shift away. The only time most people actually encounter what’s considered a true in-your-face haunting is when an entity decides to stay put and forcefully make its presence known. Otherwise, it’s very common for us to be commingling with nonphysical entities all the time, yet we’re never aware of it.
During another recent experience in which I fell asleep on the couch, I stumbled onto a very pronounced form of consciousness. I’m usually only slightly aware of my physical body during OBE’s, which stem from the sleep state, but this situation was completely unlike that.
I progressed into what appeared to be the out of body state, yet it seemed as though I was still firmly connected to my physical body. Instead of moving around I felt stationary, but was able to view in three hundred and sixty degree panoramic style (with my physical eyes still closed) simultaneously.
While some people could assume I was unconsciously dreaming during these experiences, I’m aware of the difference between a dream and a full blown altered conscious state like the one present during astral projection.
In my next post I’ll be discussing a few other encounters and observations about the out of body state along with an experience that proved to me the validity of the OBE.
