I would like to take some time and talk about Fear and its effects on our Out of Body as well as Astral experiences. Fear is a natural presses we all cant help but experience throughout our lives but it can play havoc with all of us in an out of body state. And sometimes there is not much we can do about it.
Fear is an emotional response to tangible and realistic dangers. Fear should be distinguished from anxiety, an emotion that often arises out of proportion to the actual threat or danger involved, and can be subjectively experienced without any specific attention to the threatening object.
My mother had an out of body experience recently that perfectly illustrates how Fear can create some strange situations.
During my mothers OBE she found herself sitting in her favorite chare. She was fully aware and could see everything clearly. Something caught her attention at the corner of her eye and she reacted subconsciously with a fear response. She didn’t know what it was but her mind seemed to fill in the blanks with its own story. She thought “What if someone is breaking into our house?†and in response to that thought a group of men dressed in black instantaneously manifested and clamed inside through a window and began taking random things from inside the house. Thinking this was real she reacted with another subconscious fear. It’s an instinctual fear that if confronted with something, what if you are unable to escape. All of a sudden she was paralyzed. Completely unable to move at all. At this point she woke up.
As you can see our minds can get carried away if we are not careful. The RTZ as Robert calls it is created from thought and as such its completely moldable by thought and imagination. You can consider this reality to be one step away from a dream environment. In fact if your awareness is lowered enough you will enter into a normal dream. This has happened to countless projectors and will happen to you. This is also one reason a dream journal comes in so handy. Not only does it help you remember your dreams but also helps you understand how your mind can affect what you experience. The better you understand what is going on the more control you will have over your experience.
If there is a situation where your mind gets a bit carried away just remind yourself that you have complete control and you can turn the situation around into anything you wish it to be just with your imagination. Think of it like this. If you have seen the movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban you will remember the scene where professor Lupin is teaching his students how to combat a Bogart. When he lets the Bogart out it immediately takes on the form of your worst fear. The students use there wand, imagine something funny, and say “Ridiculous†and the Bogart becomes the funny thing you imagined. Everyone laughs and it runs away. This is a perfect illustration of how you can take control of a fearful situation while out of body. In fact you could have quite a lot of fun with it if you think about it.
Just remember that fear is your only real enemy in these worlds of the non-physical as well as the real world. So if you hear someone talk about daemons and evil entities out to get you take it with a grain of salt and never worry about it because even if they tell you they have encountered them personally you have no way of knowing if it was just a projection of there imagination. I’m in no way denying that entities with intentions we would consider to be negative or evil are out there somewhere. What I am saying is that you need not call them into your experience. You are the lord and master of your experience in the RTZ so have fun with it when you can. :mrgreen:
