I've been projecting since I was 16 years old. I was taught how to do this before I ever heard of OBE or Astral Projection, my teacher had been taught while he was in Korea, either during the Korean War or shortly after it. His name was Bob R, his physical body died years ago from cancer. I think his florist business is still there today. 

He taught me the very techniques taught by Robert Bruce today, only with a more Eastern twist. Bob Taught me how to master conscious projection and bring back real information that can be verified. I've had countless experiences over the years almost to the point of boredom.  

My Grand Father, Grand Mother, Mother etc.. have all experienced OBE's and it is very common for us and an everyday occurrence, nothing mystical about it. My Grand Mother's mom was a Cherokee Indian and her husband was a white Irishman with a drinking problem way back when... I don't know much about my Great Grandmother but she was said to have these types of experiences as well. 

Last year I started trying to interact with other people and attempting to move objects in the physical environment. I've started having success but I have developed hi Blood pressure. I am being treated for it by a Physician but I am curious if it could some how be caused by my OBE experiments. Now, I have no family history, that I know of, I'm 5"10" 165lbs, and I exercise at least three times a week. 

Now before you start thinking I'm crazy please understand that I am a fairly intelligent individual. I have a degree in Computer Science, I was a Combat Medic, 91B, in the US Army and I've taken countless classes from various fields including Psychology. I don't believe in UFO's, or any of the other weird nonsense New Agers talk about. I am a skeptic of anything I have not experienced first hand.  

Mind travel, or OBE as it is called today, is as normal to me as sleep. I spend at least 1hr./day at this. I rarely have OBE's while sleeping, mine occur during meditation, when I want them to. I'll admit in the early years they were spontaneous but if you want to gain control of the process you have to teach yourself to only have them when you want. 

At any rate, if there are any of you that have figured out how to safely interact with the physical environment I would appreciate the advice. Please, only respond to me if you have really mastered this and have a technique that really works.

Any associated medications or substances with the potential to affect the experience? No      Drugs only hinder the process, they are a real waste of time and energy. I cannot drink alcohol of any kind because my body is negatively effected by even small amounts.

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words?          Uncertain          Depends if it is a vision or regular everyday experience.

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?          No     

What was your level of consciousness and alertness during the experience?            Very awake and conscious.

            Was the experience dream like in any way?  no

Did you experience a separation of your consciousness from your body?          Yes   

What emotions did you feel during the experience?          I don't feel any emotions at all. I don't feel cold, hungry or anything else. I am pure mind and can see 360 degrees. I move by willing it or thinking about a location or person.

Did you hear any unusual sounds or noises?          I always hear static before exiting sometimes I will hear a loud popping noise. They can be very irritating.

LOCATION DESCRIPTION:  Did you recognize any familiar locations or any locations from familiar religious teachings or encounter any locations inhabited by incredible or amazing creatures?        Yes    There is no Heaven or Hell as Religious folks experience it. I've seen creatures, usually formless, that will take on what ever form your mind expects them to. They seem to want energy from us, I think. I've also seen people that had poor character surrounded by fish like creatures. It's almost like they were feeding off them. I will have to admit that I have seen a flat plane of Gates with odd symbols on them, each one is a door way, where they all go, I don't know.

Did you see a light?         Yes    I see lots of lights but not the make believe" Final" light.

Did you meet or see any other beings?         Yes    I've met creatures that claimed be Angels, Demons, spirits etc.. I've seen some of the same creatures spoken of in the Bible. They do on occasion show me things in movie format but they are usually future events and are very depressing. 

I don't think they are angels or demons, what they are, I don't know. They are really a pain in the ass. They often interrupt me during my travels and only warn me of future events negative and depressing, but of course, no winning lottery numbers....

Did you experiment while out of the body or in another, altered state? Yes   

I am currently trying to master moving objects in the physical world in order to bring justice to those that can't get it otherwise. If I can master this, and I am getting close, I'll be able to rid the physical world of garbage.

Did you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be verified later?         Yes    We have a game in my Family. We like to tell each other what the other was wearing, doing or discussing with others while we were out. The winner buys dinner.

Did you notice how your 5 senses were working, and if so, how were they different?     Yes    Only a kind of mental sight exists. There is nothing else.

Did you have any sense of altered space or time?  Yes    Yes. I was monitoring one family member while they were in a college cafeteria and noted the time on the clock above her head. I willed my relative to call at that very moment. The telephone ringing brought me back to my body, I willed myself up and answered the phone. I asked if there was a clock directly behind her above her head, she said yes, I told her what she was wearing and the title of the book she was currently reading. She thought I was in the cafeteria. I was actually 400 miles away and had not seen her in over a month.

Did you have a sense of knowing, special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?     Yes    There is no purpose other than to learn how to master your will. That is what it is all about.

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure?           No     

Did you become aware of future events?      Yes    This happens all the time and I do not like it. When I see the future events they seem to all be bad news.

Were you involved in or aware of a decision regarding your return to the body?          Yes    In the beginning I had to will my self to my body and would not be able to move for a few seconds but if I could just move a single finger a fraction of an inch I would be able to get up.
