Mysterious Universe

The OBE information you talked about was interesting.  I started having OBE’s when I was a kid.  It started when I would lie down to sleep and doze off,then find my self above my body looking down at myself.  That startled me which would cause me to ‘fall’ back into my body.  Before that I was having dreams of falling and I would feel a whump when I landed.  I remember I was in 5th grade then because of conversations the boys in my class would have.  They were a weird and interesting bunch.  The girls were ordinary for the most part but it was already not cool for me to hang out with the boys.  One boy said one day, “if you dream you are falling and you land,it means you are dead.”  I laughed at him and said he didn’t know what he was talking about because I land all the time and I’m still here.

Anyway, the diversion was because I think the dreams are related to the OBEs.  When I was older I started practicing going places.  I set up an experiment with my cousin, who lived 200 miles away.  She was used to this kind of thing with me because I was always coming up with some experiment (usually of the mental telepathy type).  I told her to think of me at a certain time on a certain day.  I picked early night so I could go to my bed to do the experiment.  It was a saturday night and I lay down, imagined I was walking to a tunnel, then climbed down some stairs, walked a way in the dark then came up some other stairs into my grandmother’s side yard.  I walked to the door and let myself in.  My aunt was stirring fudge at the stove, my younger cousin was on the phone with her friend and the youngest was reading.  I went to my cousin’s room but she wasn’t there.  I walked all over their house and could not find her.  I went back to the kitchen and my oldest cousin walked in, he had been visiting my brother and had left about 7:00.  When I saw him I thought he must have driven 90 all the way in order to get home in 2 hours.  He slapped his mother on the butt as he walked by, then as he passed his sister on the phone he grabbed it and said, “goodbye” and hung up.  His sister yelled at him.  This kind of thing was not out of character for him at that age (we were both 16).  

I wrote everything down, and sent it in a letter to my cousin, who I never did find.  She wrote back saying that she forgot and went out with her boyfriend that night.  She said her sister remembers their brother hanging the phone up but she doesn’t know anything else.  I was disappointed that Idid not get confirmation that I was really there.

While I was there it was very real except for moving about, that was more like thinking.  My aunt did often make fudge, I think it was a way for her to relax.

A year later our family moved and I had to go to a new school.  I found myself hanging out with kids who liked to stay ‘high’.  When ever I was with them I felt like I could not stay in my body which really freaked me out.  Once we were in the cafeteria and I was sitting at the table hanging on to it, while also viewing everything from above, like I had split into two consciousnesses.  After that I quit hanging out with those people.

There is more to this for me as an adult but this is getting quite long.

Aaron, are you the one who tries to astral travel?  If so, I think you are making it too hard.
Just relax and use your imagination.

I really enjoy your shows.  Thanks.
