Stop Talking About Your Astral Projection Experiences

- ℹ️ Timestamps below ~ Here's some sound reasons why you should keep most of your experiences to yourself and how it helps you to stay focused spiritually. Experiences of the divine were mostly kept secret for centuries, but today the scales have tipped onto the other spectrum of imbalance; in today's highly interconnected world there's not much that happens without being openly shared. This has both its positives and negatives; this episode covers why spiritual experiences should more often than not, be kept secret, or at the very least, we should understand the reasons behind why we share them through mindfulness and self-observation. This practice teaches us to honour and value our experiences by reminding us that they are ultimately for oneself only:

I just had a dream of me psychoanalyzing myself in my dream while I was dreaming and I knew it.! If that makes any sense at all.
Excellent advice. I’ve had the same issue with sharing synchronicities. It’s like we want others to feel what we do and enjoy what we get to enjoy - but its always so draining when people are skeptical or don’t quite get it.
Glad to have folks like you around 🙏
I had a dream last night where I was flying away from being trapped somewhere by someone and then I noticed I was having a dream and I got excited and thought to myself "this is it! I need to get on the ground and meditate and do what Gene says!" Then when I got to the ground I got distracted by the world around me. I got sucked back into the story line of being chased.
Time goes on in the dream then I realize once again I'm having a dream! I tell myself "I need to get into the forest so I can sit down and meditate!" So I run to the forest looking behind me making sure no one watches me and when I got to the forest, it was full of toys. Once again I was sucked back in the story line and was obsessed with the toys on the ground. As I'm digging through them I realized one toy was from the person chasing me and I had to run away again forgetting it was just a dream and I had control.
I wasn't able to do what I wanted. Now after writing this, I understand the message. I'm close to getting what I want, but I'm too distracted in real life with feeling trapped in my real life situation and not really remembering that in real life I also have control here too with my life.
Wow. What a revelation!
Yes…and make sure you use “mindfuleness” and don’t share negative/truthful experiences or people may realize that it’s real and figure out the truth of what the astral plane really is…
Strength in Silence🙏🏼 a lesson hard learned but a necessary behavior to protect self-confidence. Personal experience is truly between just the self and the cosmos. Thank you for your time & energy, Gene🌱
This is great advice. I don't know where I got this quote, but it basically said spiritual pride is the last thing to conquer or something like that. What could possibly be the endgame to share your experiences with people that have no knowledge of astral projection? It's not like you're going to convince them of anything. It's most likely you just wanna brag. And, you might also offend someone who doesn't believe in that kind of thing. For example, a coworker of mine once asked me if I ever had a dream where I felt like I was falling. Now, this guy is normally very jovial and laid-back and I have never seen him get mad at anything. But when I told him that it means that you are falling back into your body, he got highly irate because he grew up as a fundamentalist Christian and they warn that astral projection is satanic.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I experienced this myself when my 3rd eye began to open. I had experiences where I could see peoples aura with my physical eyes closed and I naturally got very excited, and also a bit confused, so I just mindlessly talked about the experience to random people. And as I did, I didn’t experience it again until a long time later. I came to this same conclusion after having analysed my own behaviour. And I’m still practising this, to keep my experiences for myself as I (due to childhood trauma) have a need to prove myself / overexplain etc
I use to fall for this trap. I never really felt better after sharing and would get sucked into saying more and more out of insecurity, the less someone close to me cared the more I wanted to make them care.
Until one day I had the most transformational experience. I was walking in a garden and there was the most beautiful light and then there was rainbows and god came and told me he was god and he has a beard so I was pretty sure and then he told me to not tell people about my experiences so much. It was amazing and beautiful and if anyone wants me to share more about please ask !
Had an experience recently and couldn’t wait to tweet about it so ppl could see how cool I was. I’m eager to become more aware of this aspect of ego
Thank you very much for this, love your soothing content. I recently ordered a copy of your book to assist me along my own subjective spiritual journey. Namaste Gene!! 🙏🏻✨
I hope you enjoy the book! when you finish it, questions are welcome any time.
Thank you so much for helping me. I've shared my experience with two people and one of them made me feel like I was the victim of something dark. Even though I felt like I've experienced something amazing and shown other realms. Much love to everyone 🙏
These are great pieces of advice. I love sharing my experiences with others because they tend to inspire others. But I understand that as a new astral projector, I need to mature in this practice as then I will share in a wiser way. I hope to keep quiet, but sometimes it's very difficult when you go through something breathtaking.
You can share them in the private groups with likeminded seekers
Would you be kind enough to share knowledge about how you AP kind friend ??
Protect your energy
When I share mine I try to keep myself in a balanced state. I get what you mean..I have had this over sharing pull my energy away from me and almost get a sense that the mind shifts to the experience as the end in and of itself. It wears the mind out too, and makes you try to over explain. I have alot of synchronicities in regular life as well.
I have a feeling that i know how & why, and i agree since i've been APing for years, but ill watch to be safe.
Yea this is why i barely talk to others about mine unless hassled about the 'weirdest' stuffs and the likes.
I can only say 100% true🙏🏻 😃
happy I found a brother of the path, will be here each week, great podcasts too
Thank you so much for this video! Perfect timing for me, I really needed to hear these things.
Thanks 💛😉 I appreciate your work on this channel and I love it. Keep it up!
I find it interesting. How all the experiences I've had. I haven't felt I was better then anyone else. I share them to people because I know they can have them as well. They just don't care to or don't want to put in the work.
I appreciate this video.
Again.... just what I needed
Beautifully explained bro! Thanks!
i'm very grateful for you, cuz you share this with us. and because you've teached me a lot.
I share my experiences in the context of sharing my news with my friend
Yeah, this is true, I think. As much as I am fully intrigued by the whole practice ... there isn't a single person that I know, that would not think of me as a delusional crackpot, if I started a conversation LOL. I am surrounded by people who are still not at the point in their journey here, who are ready to hear about this..
But ......I am soooo grateful for the Reddit / sub, that got me started reading about this !! I would never have known.
New video, good!
I understand what you mean by that! I was talking about my experience on shrooms when I meditated to a bunch of people. And I when I was alone I felt what you mean by going by into an ego nature. Thank you for sharing this. This helped me a lot.
Well articulated and important information.
Thank you! This may be why my consciousness hasn't allowed me to experience another OBE recently. 😓 You are right.
I’ve been astral projecting for a while now I’ve time traveled to the future and see the event play out in real life if you wanna hear my story
Oh I wrote this comment before watching the video my bad 🤣🤣🤣
I only get like info best way to describe is a knowing inner truth and guidance. Ive never had a vision or astro project etc... I had a opperation on left eye as a child my two eyes visible are basically useless. Not sure if that's why i get only info not visual
When I astral project or have outter body experiences I can’t ever get past my roof!! What I mean is… my consciousness/spirit Seperates from my actual body laying In bed and if I relax i start feeling like I’m levitating but it’s my actual spirit leaving my body n when I get to my roof it freaked me out n I come back to my body through fear n then I feel as if there is entities around in my room. I know it’s fear but how do I get past this? When I wake up I’m paralyzed.. I can’t move, yell or nothing, I just simply exist n can look all around my room but can’t move, it’s happened since I was a child .. thanks for your video, awesome content so I subscribed!
I used to suffer deeply from “sleep paralysis” I would STRUGGLE against the unseen force holding me down. My older and much wiser brother gave me a piece of advice that ended the lesson. He said “ride the wave”. After that I surrendered to the experience which I later realized was just fear. I stopped fighting against the flow and moved past on to deeper lessons like tornadoes and snakes. I’ll get there. ❤️
@@johnnewton8017 that’s solid bro! If I go through this again cause I haven’t in a few years but I’m definitely going to ride the wave n overcome the fear. I’m blessed to be chosen for these experiences.
Why would I have profound lucid dreams, flying and bringing others into my dreams and continue the same dream for days after I listen to parts of the Seth materials?
A deep and intense interest in something can often spur and inspire the subconscious to give us revelations about what we're inquiring into in waking life during sleep.
Omg its a british doorway talking to me
Do you attend secret classes in the Astral? Do you speak with masters, archangels and advanced guides?
I've also wondered if it is possible to remain fully awake, aware, conscious while in delta brain wave state - the deep sleep phase of sleep. Thank you for this video as I believe what you said may be of great value to me in my journey.
See my this playlist below. I share a few experiences with guides and such, and yes, it is possible to be aware during any phase of sleep: czcams.com/video/hPZL8m9RIkQ/video.html&ab_channel=AstralDoorway
@@AstralDoorway Thank you Gene.
Can you reach a point where you’re able to astral project on command? Say you were walking down a street, you then quiet down and astral project on command. Is it possible to reach this level of expertise?
To do it while awake? This would go into the realms of what has been called 'bilocation'. This is something extremely advanced and there are no teachings or books in the physical that one can read to learn how to do it, it is learned naturally through years of spiritual practice. As for Astral projecting on command while asleep in bed, yes of course it is possible.
I understand this is a personal question, but what does your diet look like? You seem highly aware of what you consume (physically and mentally), and I'd love your insight. Thank you, Gene.
Hi Kobe, no problem, any question is welcomed. I try to eat as balanced as possible, but it's not always perfect, I don't shy away from a sweet treat once in a while if that's what you're wondering 😆 food is meant to be enjoyed. As for what I eat, I'm not fussy. You're probabaly wondering if I'm vegetarian or vegan; I am not, although I limit my in-take of meat as I sense how dense it is for the body to digest. What's more important than intellectually assigning to dietary preferences is getting in touch with sensing WHAT and WHEN our bodies want to eat and drink.
I'm usually urged to eat more fresh food with actual spiritual energy such as nuts, fruits and vegetables, but it's not the end of the world if I eat a cake, biscuit or instant noodles sometimes; Awareness is to superior to circumstance. For example, when we become old and the body grows weak, one can still Astral project. Self-awareness is far more important than worrying about what we put in our mouths.
I also focus more on WHEN I eat. I usually eat only once or twice a day, I've been naturally doing what's known as "intermittent fasting" for years, and am also partial to fasting for several days once in a while to give my body a break. I especially avoid eating in the hours before sleep, it's not ideal for meditation and Astral projection practices. I hope that helps!
To what extent does diet have an impact on providing ideal conditions for Astral Projection?
Ultimately not to much extent, since Astral projection happens every night when we go to sleep unconsciously, regardless of what we eat.
What do you think about the Illusion of Method book, and how it advocates that our subconscious/higher self/etc is the only one in complete control of lucid dreaming and astral projection? That the only way is to let go and trust in it completely and move on?
Personally, I want to quit. I am considering just giving it all up in a fit of rage/sadness/frustration, so if I can just learn how to trust my subconscious, that would be more than good enough for me
Yes, it is our deeper self which does the real work, but you need meditation in order to understand this deeply. And no, it is not the "only" way, sometimes experiences happen spontaneously, by accident, from a certain other method or various other life factors. The key is in remaining open.
I think the advice I give in this episode will aid your situation, good luck, trust in yourself: czcams.com/video/DK5Y_aa8bvQ/video.html

@@AstralDoorway had to check this video again since I don’t seem to get reply notifications
That’s the thing though, even the spontaneous projections are still automated by the subconscious, all the methods, including meditation, are ways to “fake it until you make it”, but considered by the author to not be a part of the Core Practice.
Again, I am faced with absolutely conflicting evidence from two people who have consistently projected and lucid dreamed. Perhaps I should stop looking and just practice. Or this isn’t something that can be explained, only experienced through practice. Words and thoughts mean nothing compared to instinct and intuition.
@@SPECIALKID1337 You should check the notification settings on your CZcams account. I had the same problem as you of not getting notifications. I was able to fix the problem in the settings. It is not the subconscious that causes the astral projection. It is the higher self that does the real work. The higher self uses it's superconscious mind. Of course the conscious mind does play a small and necessary part in the process. It does require effort/practice. I would say effort without attachment to outcome is very important in astral projection. As it is in all endeavors in life. Meditation combined with practicing Gene's techniques is probably a good idea. Don't just meditate to astral project though. Meditate to grow. Practice is key.
@@SPECIALKID1337 It seems you're perhaps overthinking this. THe subconscious is not something separate from you. You only think it's separate because your stuck in identifying with an ego who believes it is separate. Does that make sense? There is no conflicting evidence, only different layers of understanding. Spiritual truths are full of paradoxes. And yes, this is the essence of "Gnosis" ~ experience is superior to belief.
