To cut a long story short, I used to experiment a lot with OOBE and I was very sure I had the key to make it happen. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, but remain interested, I'd like to recommend a book called Journeys Out of the Body by Robert Monroe.
If you're still with me, I'll mention that I had my own particular methods that worked pretty well for facilitating lucid dreaming, astral travel, etc. The vibrational state that Monroe describes is very much a part of this. I believe OOBE is the evolution of sleep paralysis states.
I had abruptly stopped these attempts at OOBE for a couple reasons:
1) My meditations were growing increasingly dark and troublesome. My wandering thoughts were often painful, violent, dark and disturbing. Although I've heard this is sometimes normal, it became very overwhelming and I felt I was tapping into something that wasn't me, and I hated having to confront such horrible pain. My meditation teacher brushed it off and assured me it'll go away and that it means nothing (B.S.!) Instead it got worse. I felt I was not getting the guidance I needed, and the meditations were no longer fruitful. So I stopped.
2) A set of my most recent OOBE/ lucid dream experiences were also fraught with negativity and darkness, and I wanted nothing to do with it anymore. If anybody has read the book mentioned above, or is familiar with the process, you may be aware of the sensation of your astral body separating from the physical body (a floating or levitating feeling where you can observe your physical body and surroundings freely.) The last time I experienced this phenomenon, I had a sense that I was not alone during this transition process. I asked these 'visitors' what they intended and they told me point-blank that once I left my body they wanted to inhabit my body for themselves. I noped the F to the Hell No out of that and aborted the whole thing, and have never made another attempt.
So the point I wanted to get to here, is about one particular OOBE or astral travel I had.
Once I separated, I saw the Earth from a very great distance, like you see in those NASA photos and such. Couldn't make out the Great Wall of China but I could see the land masses. My attention was focused down and magnified onto the Great Pyramid complex in Giza. I'd also like to mention there seems to be some kind of guide always behind me out of view during these experiences. I've never heard or talked to them, but I sense them.
At first I saw the Sphinx in great detail. Except on the back of the Sphinx was a stone monument of many animal species melded together. I have since been told this is called a 'chimera.' It was a genetic admixture of many animals disgustingly fused together.
After I took notice of this chimera monument, I took notice of a very, very, very large dragon-like creature wrapped around the Great Pyramid. It seemed very amused that I was there, and it had a very angelic feminine voice. (If you are craving physical details I will say it was very long and serpentine, snake-like, and winding. It reminded me of the kind of very long and thin dragons you see in traditional Chinese art and watercolors. It was a very dark hue of purple, almost black, but shimmering purple for sure.)
It had made a series of images flash in my mind, like a flip book on super high speed. I saw many images of the past, photographs, people, places etc. I couldn't take all of it in. However, I do recall that multiple time periods seemed to be emphasized: ancient, very ancient, modern etc. I also remember being able to see a few photograph images of several people (past lives maybe? They seemed familiar somehow. Some seemed more familiar than others, if that makes sense.) The only interpretation I could make of this demonstration was that this dragon creature knows all the past, and it knows me too. It knows more than I can even process, was the gist that I got.
When I inquired about the nature of the images, the reason for my being there and the meaning of all the things I was witnessing, it again had a very amused air, like that of a teacher to a dumb student, or a parent to a naive child--trying to contain its bemusement as it spoke. It did not speak in a mocking tone, but one of gentleness.
It said, "You are the sand. And you are in Egypt. But for now, go back to sleep."
The female dragon seemed very pleased and satisfied with this answer (I was not!) It seemed that the joke was that I wouldn't understand, or maybe I'll never understand, this is above me and beyond me and the few words wasted on me were pearls before swine. The dragon had indulged me, humored me, then bonked me back out of that wavelength.
I woke up.
I find it interesting that it told me to go back to sleep and the result was me waking back up to my physical self.
So what's in Egypt? Documentation of ourselves as a species? Genetic records and journals of our biological evolution? Perhaps the last vestige of Sumerian knowledge that was tucked deep away before it became bastardized and lost. Akashic records?
I felt like it meant that the answer would arrive in my lifetime, but I'm not sure anymore--the cultural and religious climate in the Middle East these days tells me that a radical and challenging archaeological discovery will never be allowed to see the light of day. It would shake too many people to the core, those who cling to their roots and traditions.
Those words have always been with me though. I will never forget that the answer lies in the sand and that we are the sand. Maybe we are, as biological life on this planet, an infinite amount of scattered, tiny pieces waiting to be made whole again.
Either way, it was an incredibly entertaining vision and I'm happy to finally share it here on the one website it actually belongs.
Very curious to hear from others as usual, input, interpretations, corroborations etc.
