Greetings! I found this website and board after buying Robert Bruce's book at a local Occult bookstore. I've actually had several OBEs, but not for quite some time, and so I inquired at the store about classes and books. The person I talked with just happened to be the one who teaches these classes, and recommended the book, so I bought it and started reading it that night. The next morning I had an OBE, which was really quite cool as I wasn't sure if I'd ever get out of my body again. So, now I'm working on meditation each night and trying to learn how to "build a bridge" between the astral and conscience levels. I'm confidant I'll be successful, but like many people I want it all *now* <g>!
Currently, I can get to the point where I feel myself become very light and I see flashy lights and I hear an occasional sound. But that's usually as far as I go with it; I'd like to learn how to achieve the next step which I assume is an astral projection. I also want to learn how to travel to higher Realms than the astral, and experience more of what's out there. Because of prior OBEs I do know there's Truth to this, so at least I don't have to fight any doubts. But getting to that next level would be most excellent. If anyone here has any suggestions I'd be quite happy to hear from you.

Thanks! And merry meet!

Hi Major Tom,
Thanks for your response! I'm don't think of myself as that expereinced or knowledgeable as of yet because OBE isn't something I can do at will. Most of th etimes I've been out its been a spontaneous thing, which is fine. I'm just trying to learn to do it at will, and then learn how to go to where I want to go. Typically, I play in the clouds or do something that seems pointless (whether it is or not I really don't know). The last time I projected I was able to help a woman who had just been killed during a bank robbery. I was lucid, and able to see and speak. And I wasn't in an overly "silly state," although I was just before I saw her leave her body. So, I'd like to be able to do more of that sort of thing; help people, find higher Wisdom for myself, and have fun as well.  So, really, in my mind I have a ways to go and quite a lot to learn. But hey - its all good!
Thanks also for the book recommendations. I've read Monroe's first book - it was actually the first book on astral travel I read (that was like 15 years ago at least). Its a very good book for describing the excursions, but I didn't get any technical help from it. Although, I have discovered just reading about it can do a lot to help you along your way.

Thanks again, I look forward to exploring this board more!
