I want participants for an Astral Projection Expt.

@edwardbernays, Yeah I had to start over because it got to be too much. I sat there before starting again, and reassured my self that whatever it was, It was a part of me in the end. Then I asked if I should really be that scared of myself, and it was pretty easy to face the second time.

@ijesuschrist, I did listen to Infected Mushroom briefly, maybe half a song. I’m not a big fan of electronic music though so I couldn’t let myself really get into it.

@ijesuschrist, Haha pretty much. I think I was just trippin myself out in anticipation of astral projection.

@ijesuschrist, I’m down to do this, I’ve done some very limited Astral Projection, maybe this will build a better and more magnificent experience :) Ill get back to yuh!

Im going to join in on this! This would definitely be possible after all my finals are done lol.

@ijesuschrist,
Sounds good. Will do. Perhaps I shall try this again, after tonight, with In Rainbows by Radiohead, their music is subtle yet profound. Update you tomorrow, would the experiment be too variable if I were to smoke damiana with the sleep depervation for the next trial?

@ijesuschrist,
Hey, my apologies for taking so long to do this..
So I got really ripped at around 3AM, put on the converting vegetarians trance side album, and feel asleep shortly after..
It may be due to the high grade indica I was consuming.. I’ll have to reattempt when I obtain some sativa. Perhaps over the holidays.

I should also mention that I’ve been attempting to lucid dream for several years now without any success. The closest I’ve become is a state of full body paralysis. Of which I’ve attained only once. I’ve tried all sorts of methods; WILD, MILD, etc. etc. but nothing seems to work for me. So obviously when you mention smoking weed and listening to psy-trance as a method, I got pretty excited.

I also have some left over mushrooms.. Perhaps I’ll consume a few grams and try it as an alternative to the weed. Or both :)

Lastly, I have to thank you for introducing me to Infected Mushroom. I downloaded their discography and have been listening to them non-stop since. Pretty epic tunes.

@ijesuschrist, I don’t mean to be rude, but this is kind of bullshit :p

Getting super stoned and meditating to some chill beats can certainly have you finding yourself in a headspace that is a vast aberration from the norm, however this is certainly not astral projection.

I have astral projected successfully twice in my life after a lot of effort, and I would say from both my research and my personal experience, that astral projection requires sobriety, and lack of dynamic auditory perceptions (ambient noise and certain meditation tracks are fine). The idea is the detach yourself from sensory perception of the external, so that your mind creates its own. Any loud music would keep you completely anchored, making nearly impossible to get to the deep meditative state of consciousness required to leave your body.

That said, I’m definitely going to try this anyway, because as I said above, it sounds like it would still be quite a unique headspace…also looking to try the isolation take one day.

@ijesuschrist, Im going to attempt this tomorrow night, will post results later :)
