The astral dimension contains a wide variety of what could be called
non-physical subtle energy life-forms; or as Carlos Castenada so aptly
calls
them: inorganic beings. Some of these have a positive nature (nice) and
some
seem have a negative nature (not so nice). The intelligence level of each
type varies enormously. The vast majority of each type appear to have
their
own agendas, like to keep to themselves, and in general do not like being
bothered or interfered with. Not counting high-level beings like demigods,
angels and spirit masters, they range from friendly and helpful, to
occasionally helpful, to playful, to neutral, to mischievous, to
malicious,
to downright nasty and evil.
Inorganic beings appear in a wide variety of illusory forms. Some of the
less intelligent types seem animalistic and predatory by nature, much like
the animal and insect wildlife found in the physical dimension. I call the
less intelligent, animalistic and negative types simply, Astral Wildlife.
Although these all appear to come from somewhere in or near the astral
dimension, many of these are capable of operating in the real time zone.
And
some of these, unfortunately, delight in tormenting projectors, especially
new ones.
You can find absolutely anything in the astral planes, given the fluid
nature of its many internal environments. In a way, the astral can be
likened to the ocean: there are fish, shellfish, octopus, dolphins,
whales,
sharks, barracuda, sea snakes, crabs, shrimp, jellyfish, turtles, seals
and
penguins, etc, etc. Some of the ocean wildlife is friendly, some is
harmless, some are only harmful when disturbed, annoyed or hungry, some
can
be unintentionally harmful, and others are downright dangerous all the
time.
There are also many travelers, some even from far off lands, found
sailing,
flying or swimming thereabouts.
Although many parts of the astral planes appear to be full of life, it is
fairly rare to meet up with interested beings whilst traveling there, but
it
does happen occasionally. Just about every astral plane and realm has some
kind of local inhabitants. These life forms often live in specific areas
or
realms, and often seem quite unaware there is any other reality or
dimensional level than their own. They are often amazed when they meet an
astral traveler. Other types you'll meet seem to be well aware of other
dimensions, but most seem to have little patience with projectors and tend
to ignore them.
In a way, approaching astral beings you do not know is very much like
approaching strangers in the physical dimension. Most strangers ignore
other
people, even when politely asked directions or questions. Strangers will,
at
best, give cursory answers as they hurry away while actively trying to
ignore you. Astral beings, like most strangers, don't seem to enjoy
getting
involved with the affairs of strangers, usually having much more important
things to do with their time.
While projecting, you'll also occasionally meet up with other projectors
like yourself, but most of these will not even be aware they are
projecting.
It seems that the awareness and memories projectors have of their physical
existence, of who and what they are, varies greatly. Many seem as if they
are sleepwalking or dreaming, or are just going along with the flow of
life
and events in an astral realm, as if they were a part of it and actually
lived there. They are often quite surprised when it is pointed out to them
that they can fly, etc.
I suspect this variability in awareness and memory is caused by many
factors, such as: energetic development and activity, the amount of energy
flowing into the projected double from its physical/etheric body, and
whether or not a projector has made a conscious exit or not and has
retained
awareness afterwards. The conscious exit out-of-body seems to cause a much
greater flow of energy into the projected double than is usually available
to sleep projectors. It is also possible that the unbroken continuance of
awareness provided by a conscious exit projection removes much of the
dreamlike qualities associated with existing in other dimensions.
The most important thing to realize about any beings, intelligent or
otherwise, you might come across in the astral is that they are not all
dream beings or creations of your own subconscious mind. They usually have
their own life, meaning and purpose; whatever that might be. They are, in
most cases, not mere decorations to be toyed with or used by any passing
astral traveler. Most astral beings do not seem to appreciate being
questioned and annoyed, by what may seem like to them to be a constant
stream of lost and meddlesome astral travelers.
For all the above, some astral beings will converse with and even actively
help and encourage astral travelers, especially if projectors are
courteous
and sincere in their approach. Like attracts like in the astral planes
and,
if you are friendly and sincere, you are thus far more likely to meet
beings
who are also friendly and sincere.
Case History:
This case history shows a projector meeting and interacting with an astral
being, or another projector (hard to say which) as well as showing some
other interesting aspects of projection.
Mr.R: I woke around 4:00am and couldn't get back to sleep. So turned on
the
radio very softly. I decided to attempt an OBE by laying on my back. Its
difficult for me to fall asleep on my back, but that's the best position
for
me to OBE from. Every time I've been on my back and experienced paralysis
and vibrations, and I'm ready to try exiting my body, my throat muscles
close up and I can't breathe, which startles and wakes me up. But last
night, I tried a little trick that has worked for me before. I lay on my
back with my head slightly turned to one side. This prevents my throat
from
closing up.
After the exit, I soon found myself on a sunny rock cliff overlooking an
ocean. A beautiful woman was there in a swim suit, with her back to me. I
wanted her sexually and, thinking she was just a dream creation of mine
and
not a real person, I thought I could do anything I wanted, so put my hand
on
her shoulder. As she turned, I noticed she was protecting a little girl in
a
swimsuit who was cradled in her arms. I backed away and the scene started
getting a little wavy. I remembered to look quickly at my hands and the
scene stabilized again.
I thought, Wait a minute, Robert Bruce warned me these could be REAL
spiritual entities or other projectors, and not just dream-beings. As I
thought this, I felt something very WARM coming from the woman. She turned
around to face me, smiled and then left. I intuitively KNEW she was aware
that I was new at this and didn't really mean to bother or harm her. She
didn't speak, scream or cry out. She just faded away. Then I thought I'm
going to start treating all dream figures with respect from now on. and
dived off the cliff, floated out into the harbor and then flew out over
the
sea.
I thought of going back to my room and looking at my body sleeping.
Suddenly, the ocean disappeared and everything turned white. I heard two
short whistle sounds and I was suddenly back in my room, opposite the bed
and my body. I knew I had to stay calm, and I did. But I swear, my first
thought was, I can't wait to tell Robert! I just floated there for some
time, delighting in the feeling of floating and of being out of my body!
Then I noticed something odd. I couldn't see my physical body properly! I
looked harder at the bed but could only see a faint depression, showing
the
outline of my body where it should be. I must have looked too hard and
focused UPON THE BODY, because I was then sucked backed into it. This felt
like something was rushing INTO my physical body..
My Comments:
This shows how unnoticed breathing problems like sleep apnea can affect
projection. It also shows how the resting position can affect projection.
Rod shifted straight into an astral plane after his first conscious exit.
It
shows how he stabilized a reality fluctuation by briefly looking at his
hands.
A revelation, as Rod discovers that some people in the astral may actually
be real people, travelers just like himself or real astral beings, and
deserving of respect and consideration. It also shows a touching empathic
exchange as the woman expresses her appreciation towards him for his
realization and concern (warm feeling) before leaving.
Shows how you can return close to your physical body and convert an astral
projection into a real time projection if you think about or feel for your
physical body.
Reality fluctuations are apparent upon Rod's return (invisible physical
body). His subconscious mind may not have been able to accept the
existence
of two bodies at the same time. It also shows his re-entry as being
perceived by his physical body rather than by his projected double. He
felt
something rushing into his physical body, from his physical body's
perspective, and not his projected double rushing into his physical body.
This shows the physical/etheric body and mind were disturbed by and became
aware of his re-entry. His physical body and mind were woken up for the
reentry, allowing for a perfect shadow memory download, which shows
mind-split effects at work here.
More comments:
Projecting into the astral planes is a lot like going for a swim in the
ocean. You'll rarely see anything big or intelligent, and even more rarely
will you come across anything truly dangerous. You will, in the astral
ocean, mainly come across harmless fish, seals and dolphins, occasionally
meeting other swimmers like yourself in passing (swimmers = other
projectors).
The best conduct and safety rule during any type of projection is to keep
to
yourself, always be polite, and to mind your own business unless
approached
or invited to do otherwise. And, always be ready to move quickly away if
anything strange or threatening happens, or if you feel uncomfortable in
any
way.
Only very rarely will a projector come across advanced spiritual beings,
and
even more rarely will they encounter angels. In my opinion, angels are a
race of highly advanced spiritual beings. They most definitely exist. I
have
seen angels many times, in OBE's and visions, as well as with my bare eyes
on a few rare and precious occasions.
Angels are impossible to track down or find intentionally during an OBE.
They are especially rare in the real time zone and low to mid astral
planes.
You will occasionally come across them accidentally, especially in the
high-astral and mental dimension. Angels and other advanced spiritual
beings
seem to only make themselves visible when they have a very good reason for
doing so. They are definitely not the type to stop and chat in passing.
Angels and advanced spirit beings, unlike most astral inhabitants, do not
appear limited to any particular plane or dimension level. They have the
ability, I believe, to manifest in any level, even in the real time zone
and
the physical dimension itself. They have the ability to enfold lesser
beings
in their energy and temporarily transport them into other dimensional
levels. In this way, they will often be seen helping the spirits of
deceased
people to manifest temporarily in the real time zone, or even to help them
appear visibly in the physical dimension itself. This is something like a
brief visit manifestation, and this kind of thing always has very good
reasons behind it, although those reasons may not be apparent at the time.
To add to the above, and purely for interest's sake: I have seen many
spirits manifesting in the physical dimension, due to the nature of my
mystical work and clairvoyant ability. Each time, I have seen at least one
advanced being, sometimes even an angel, at work in the background. The
spirits brought back in this way are always enfolded in a flood of
brilliant-silver light.
Typically, a spirit manifestation like this will begin with a strong build
up of energy in the room, accompanied by many silver motes and tiny
sparkles
of light. A tangible aura of power and presence spreads throughout the
room
and the atmosphere becomes electric. A narrow, vertical shaft of
brilliant-silver light then appears and quickly expands, as if curtains of
light were being drawn apart just wide enough for a person to walk
through.
A huge gush of brilliant-silver light, along with a tangible feeling of
power, excitement and love spills through this parting in the dimensional
veil. The visiting deceased spirit then simply walks through this opening
and stands just inside the room, bathed and held within this pool of
light.
At this time, if you have the sight and you look further back into the
light
behind the deceased spirit, you will usually see at least one advanced
spirit being or angel standing there, as if patiently waiting a dozen or
so
feet behind the spirit visitor. A deceased relative or friend of the
visiting spirit will also often be seen standing just behind and to the
side
of the spirit visitor, often holding their hand or resting a hand on their
shoulder.
Lower Sub-Plane Wildlife:
The most troublesome types of astral wildlife appear to come from the
notorious lower astral sub-planes. These contain the darker and more
negative aspects of the astral planes. These can be likened to parallel
shadows of the more positively oriented parts of the astral planes. While
still a part of the astral planes, technically speaking, they are a
distinctly separate aspect or part of it, containing all the darker
qualities. Another way of looking at this is to consider this to be the
night side of the astral planes, something like the dark side of the moon
that never gets any light from the Sun. Low astral wildlife are normally
only capable of operating in dimensions similar to or lower than their
dimension of origin. This is a reasonable suggestion, based on them having
energetic limitations set by their nature and dimensional level of origin.
Some of these beings do seem capable of operating in the real time zone.
The
real time zone can be thought of as being fairly neutral territory,
dimensionally speaking.
All lower types, regardless of classification or origin, appear to be
predatory loners by nature. They also appear to have varying degrees of
strength, intelligence and ability. By nature, all negative beings exhibit
a
cold and almost insect-like nature. Higher feelings like love, compassion
and mercy are totally alien to them. This does not, however, mean they are
evil in the strictest sense of the word. It just means they have no higher
feelings whatsoever. Just as a garden spider has no higher feelings, it is
not evil for killing and eating a beautiful butterfly. It is a spider and
therefore acts according to its nature, and spiders need to feed on
insects
to survive.
From my experience, negative types do not work well together, regardless
of
any possible shared origins. They usually appear to be quite aggressive
and
combative towards each other, which results in a distinct pecking order
whenever they are found together. I believe, groups of astral wildlife
only
appear to be working together if they are encountered as doing such. They
may sometimes be forced to work together, temporarily, through
circumstances
where they have a common interest or need.
Astral wildlife can manifest in an enormous variety of illusory and
changeable forms. A regular favorite is the form of an ugly grinning
monkey.
The gargoyle and harpy forms are also quite common. Some of them seem to
prefer a more traditional horned demon-type of look, while others go for a
more contemporary appearance. These latter forms are possibly modeled on
horror movies and TV shows, or even from the modern nightmares of mankind.
The size and appearance of an entity, as seen by a projector, or with real
time or astral sight, gives no any fair indication of its actual strength
and intelligence. Many small and weak entities seem to delight in looking
big and dangerous. This is much like how an animal will fluff up its fur
to
make itself seem bigger that it really is during a confrontation. Stronger
and more intelligent entities, however, do not seem to bother overmuch
with
pretense and may even use their original form, if they have one that is. I
have seen entities the size of polar bears run screaming when BOO! is said
to them. And, I have seen others the size and appearance of large rats
that
I would not interfere with by choice.
Many entities seem to choose a form they have taken from the mind of a
projector, which indicates some degree of telepathic ability. They use
this
to generate the maximum level of fear possible. This is a very good reason
for projectors to keep their minds clear and mask their true feelings when
they encounter or are forced to deal with astral wildlife.
The weaker and by far the most common types of astral wildlife, those
responsible for the majority of Elemental and Dweller-type scare attacks,
(See Astral Dynamics), seem to have very little power of their own. These
are fairly weak, timid creatures and their appearance is always a greatly
exaggerated illusion. They will usually beat a hasty retreat whenever
approached by a projector with a firm or confrontational attitude. Most
negative entities dislike direct attention and actively avoid being seen.
They will thus generally avoid direct encounters with projectors,
preferring
to use illusion to do their mischief for them. This is especially so with
more experienced projectors who are far more likely to fight back.
Some types of astral wildlife seem attracted to, and possibly even to feed
upon, the energetic vibrations generated and broadcast by overly fearful
projectors. Once encountered, continued fear and timidity, on the part of
a
projector, seems to make astral wildlife more aggressive. Their
intimidating
behavior is, however, always minus any kind of direct attack. This
indicates
they are not capable of mounting a direct attack on a projector, and my
experience supports this. Increased and continuing fear on the part of a
projector will often attract others of the same type, thus increasing
their
numbers and making things generally worse for a projector. For all this,
the
appearance of these types is still quite rare.
The vast majority of astral wildlife do not, I believe, have the power to
directly injure a projector, but caution is always advised in these
matters.
It is commonly thought that non-physical entities of any type are
completely
harmless to projectors, and are only capable of scaring them. While this
is
generally true, as with the Elemental and Dweller types discussed in
'Astral
Dynamics' there are exceptions. The real time, astral and all higher
bodies
are virtually invulnerable, and definitely cannot be destroyed or killed.
However, it is possible to suffer energetic damage and weakness through
intense or prolonged attack by the stronger and more intelligent types of
non-physical entities.
While cases of this are extremely rare, if the energetic substance of a
projected double became damaged, this damage could reflect back into its
physical body. In this case, the physical body could experience unusual
tiredness. Even more rarely, swellings, rashes and strange marks could
also
appear on the physical body. These are much like the swellings, watery
blisters and rashes that are an occasional side-effect of energetic
development work, (See Astral Dynamics for more details) especially during
the early stages when energetic pathways are being cleared and
conditioned.
All these symptoms heal unusually quickly, often disappearing within just
a
few hours. The energy body heals and restores itself very quickly if its
substance is disturbed or damaged in any way.
Any significant attack causing energy substance loss in the projected
double
has a fail-safe side-effect. It causes the immediate abortion of that
projection as a reflex action. Projection is a delicately balanced process
involving a constant two-way energetic-cum-telepathic exchange between the
physical body and its projected double. It does not take much to interfere
with this process and cause it to abort, resulting in the immediate return
of the projected double to the safety of its physical body.
Please keep in mind here that attacks, and especially attacks causing
actual
energetic damage or substance loss, are rare in the extreme and are not
something to overly worry about. To draw a parallel of the risks involved,
this is roughly equivalent to a recreational swimmer being seriously
injured
by dangerous marine life. Injuries are fairly rare events for the average
swimmer, with the biggest danger being nothing more than an occasional
jellyfish sting. Professionals and deep-sea divers, however, spend a great
deal more time in the more unexplored and untamed parts of the ocean
depths,
and thus face a slightly greater risk of harm than do recreational
swimmers.
This also applies to frequent projectors, especially those with a natural
propensity for the more occult and metaphysical aspects of out-of-body
exploration. Lastly, this also applies to more experienced and adventurous
projectors, most especially those who actively help people suffering from
psychic/demonic attack and other such entity related problems.
The above section provides some clues as to how the relative strengths and
threat potential of any type of astral wildlife or non-physical entity can
be gauged. If anything manifests directly and acts in an openly
threatening
or intimidating manner, it can reasonably be judged as having no real
strength and thus of being no actual threat. These types can thus be
safely
confronted and will be found easily discouraged and driven away, by even
the
most inexperienced and timid of projectors if they have the right
attitude.
If, however, anything is encountered which acts in a timid or furtive
rather
than an openly threatening manner, and immediately tries to hide or leaves
the area, then this is best left well enough alone and not followed or
interfered with. Discretion is always the better part of valor during such
encounters.
To the very best of my knowledge, if a projector minds their own business,
stays calm, uses common sense and projects away if they ever find
themselves
in a bad situation, they have very little to worry about. Out of all the
thousands of projection related case histories I have been consulted on, I
have only come across a very small handful of situations where really
troublesome astral wildlife were involved. And, in the majority of these
cases, once this situation was confronted with a braver and more positive
attitude the problem entities, whether real or imagined, simply vanished.
Below are two fairly typical experiences where very low orders of astral
wildlife are encountered:
Low Astral Wildlife - Case Histories:
White Whirring Things: Mr.D
My experience can only be explained as bizarre. My first OBE (so far)
happened as I was just nodding off to sleep. I was trying to leave my body
in my waking state but did not succeed and so I fell asleep and began to
dream. Suddenly I felt as if my astral body were being sucked out of my
body
through my mouth (I thought my teeth were going to fall out!). Then I'm
floating above my body and my vision is all blurred. I was in shock and
forgot that I shouldn't panic. I decided to try flying and so began
floating
through the roof but quickly willed myself to stop this as it was all
getting just too weird. A little white thing suddenly flew through the
wall
making a whirring noise (imagination? You tell me?) and latched on to my
finger, and this also was just too weird. I found a bottle of chocolate
milk
on my bed which wasn't there in real life, but it seemed empty when I
picked
it up. Then more little white things started flying in and sticking to my
fingers and it all got just too weird for me. I couldn't handle this so I
willed myself back into my body.
Furry Sharp-Toothed Things: Mr.K
My brother and I experienced what we both believed to be conscious astral
projection. We both saw each other that night. (we were both projecting at
the same time, and from the same room). I saw him through a murky
vision...but what he saw on me scared him. He said he saw what looked like
small, pale, hand-sized, furry little creatures all over my projected
body.
Their only recognizable features were fur and a mouth full of tiny sharp
teeth. Either we both had the same dream, or nightmare, or our attempt at
joint projection was successful. It was our first intentional and
conscious
attempt and because of what we experienced that night we have not tried it
since. As a matter of fact, we have avoided the subject all together since
then.
My Comments:
These both appear to be fairly normal first time projections, apart from
the
astral wildlife involved. In Dave's case, the exit sensations were felt
from
within the dream state. These appear to have woken Dave and he then
experience the full conscious exit. The sucking pressure he felt on his
mouth is a little unusual, but quite understandable. There are some fairly
large secondary energy centers situated in and around the mouth and lips,
and the tongue is also covered with a high concentration of energy
exchange
ports.
The active configuration of the energy centers of individual projectors
varies quite a bit. The mouth area may, as in Dave's case, be more active
than usual and thus cause more noticeable sensations during a projection
exit. All new projectors should therefore expect many subtle variations of
what they have heard are normal conscious exit projection sensations.
The small entities encountered in both the above cases are a very low
order
of astral wildlife. These are a small, energy feeding type of entity,
something like a lower astral version of a mosquito or leech. These things
are quite common and seem to bother some people more than others, just as
mosquito's are attracted more to some people than to others. These small
entities would have fed on these people regardless of whether or not they
were projecting; and done them no real harm in the process. It may be
coincidental that these projectors surprised them while these
mosquito-like
beings were feeding. It is likely these were attracted to these projectors
solely because it was sensed they were sleeping at this time. They either
didn't notice, or didn't have the intelligence to care, that their
intended
prey was consciously projecting and not sleeping at this time.
The fingers or toes are the most common attachment areas for energy
feeding
types, large or small. These areas both contain high concentrations of
energy exchange ports and important secondary energy centers, through
which
energy is normally exchanged. These areas can also function in reverse, as
with healing where a reverse energetic flow is generated by a healer. An
energy feeding entity, in a similar way, creates an energetic demand upon
the etheric body in order to drain energy from it. If the entity is hungry
or low on energy, this energetic flow is probably triggered automatically
through simple contact. It is also possible the sucking sensation Dave
felt
in his mouth, during the exit, was caused by these small energy feeders.
Some of them may have been attached to the mouth area of Dave's etheric
body
and were disturbed or dislodged when he projected, only to return and
attempt to reattach a short time later.
The above types of experience, while fairly rare, can also be classed as
something like a Dweller on the threshold kind of experience. This type of
astral wildlife appears to be no more dangerous than the average leech or
mosquito. They are more annoying than harmful, although they will often
scare the daylights out of an inexperienced or uninformed projector. I
suggest all small energy feeding types, in any possible variation of the
above, be treated accordingly.as natural pests. If these projectors had
actively imagined these small entities as bursting into flames, or even
swatted at them with their real time hands, they would have vanished or
detached themselves and beat a hasty retreat. For more on this subject

Astral Dynamics).
