I just got back from the most amazing astral trip. I thought I would share most of what I can remember from the Journey. I haven’t really put much
effort into astral travel lately as life has been pretty hectic for me. I had made the decision just yesterday that I was going to start trying
again. It seems as though if you are not focused on achieving astral travel it doesn’t happen as much.
Well I got out last night and boy was it a trip. My exit for those that are curious came in the middle of the night. I awoke with the full body
paralysis and the vibrations. Once I hit the vibratory state getting out for me is like second nature. It’s getting to that state that is hard.
This time it happened quite by accident. I left my body by rolling over and standing up… walked out of my bedroom, down the stairs and through the
front door.
The very first thing I always want to do once I am out of my body is fly. I love it and on this occasion it had been a very long time since I
remember flying so with a head turned toward the sky I floated up and over the town I live in. I must have been in the lower astral, because
everything looked pretty much like waking reality in the dimly lit twilight before dawn. I flew for some time reminding myself to remember as much
detail as I could. This trip was one of my most vivid.
I decided since this trip was lasting so long and was so vivid that I should have a goal while I was out. I decided I wanted to visit my spirit guide
and try to get some answers about life. This is usually my goal when I have enough time in the Astral, but I don’t usually get much remembered
success.
Last night was very different. I turned my attention to my spirit guide and though I didn’t consciously know who I was looking for, I turned in
flight and headed with purpose in a new direction. I instantly found myself transported to a different city and near the edge of the city I flew
through a gateway. A gateway is the best way I can describe it. Going through I came out in a completely different location.
The strangest thing happened when I went through the gateway. My appearance and physical presence changed. I became lighter and thinner. I felt my
features change, my limbs were longer and my face felt different. I also remember that the clarity of my vision sharpened. I remember thinking that
this must be the body I take when in the spirit world. It was much nicer than the one I have here.
Still on the search for my spirit guide, I found myself floating over what I remember to be the most beautiful water garden. There were giant stones
sticking out of a pale blue pond and what seemed be walking trails and benches to sit on. I knew at that point that my guide was near and headed in
that direction.
I found myself on a bench with my guide discussing life. While flying and exploring the rock garden I had the wherewithal to remind myself to
remember the details, my chat with my spirit guide is a little fuzzy. We talked about life and I remember asking the big questions, what my purpose
is and why I chose this life. It’s funny, but the more time I spent in that world the less real and important this world began to seem.
The general idea of what I remember from my chat with the spirit guide was that I chose a lifetime at this time, because there were going to be
incredible events taking place and I wanted to be present to see them. However, I had also decided to conquer some pretty tough challenges in this
life and if I didn’t make enough progress I might not make it through the troubled times that lie ahead.
After my talk with my guide, he took me to speak with some higher entities. In my memory of what happened, I called them the Directors, since they
were in charge of the events that take place here on Earth. I remember being in very good spirits when I went to see them so I believe my progress
towards my goals here is going well. When I went to see the Directors, there were three or four of them gathered in this building. I would describe
this building, but my memory of it doesn’t seem to make physical sense. There were pillars, staircases and walkways. As much of the building was
inside there was just as much building outside or outside areas where people could gather.
I remember the beginning of my conversation with the Directors pretty vividly. I mainly spoke with what I would consider the leader of the small
group, though I exchanged pleasantries with everyone. I remember he was a jovial and somewhat humorously wise guy. You know the kind of person that
answers your questions with a question and chuckles at your struggles to find meaning in all the questions. He started asking me about the life I was
currently living and what I thought about my accomplishments so far. I remember not feeling as though I had accomplished as much as I could have with
the time I had been given and I started citing the restrictions I had placed upon myself that had hindered me.
What he told me next seems pretty profound to me. I guess you could take it as a prophecy but I may have misinterpreted the meaning. I remember very
vividly him telling me that there was going to be somewhat of a golden age on earth. However, before that time there was going to be immense
difficulties and only a portion of the current population was going to make it through. He told me that I hadn’t as of yet done enough to warrant
making the cut and it wasn’t at all sure yet that I was going to be in that portion of the population that made it. Basically whether I made it or
not was predicated on how far along I was on accomplishing the goals I had set for myself.
We talked a short while longer after that revelation, but I don’t recall much of what was said. On my way back to the gateway I came across my
younger brother. He was visiting as well. I hadn’t seen him in a while in the real world and we hugged. He followed me back to the gateway as he
was on his way out as well and as we passed through he was gone.
Passing through the gateway, I found myself back in the strange city I was in when I entered. I found it immensely reassuring that the city hadn’t
changed. To me the continuity of the experience confirmed how real it was. However, the relief I found in continuity was short lived when I tried to
take flight again. For some reason I didn’t have the energy to lift off from the ground. That has happened to me in the past. I realized I was in
a strange city in what could only be the lowest astral plane, because things began to look dark and ominous. I closed my eyes and decided I would
just will myself back into my body. As much as I thought about it and willed myself, nothing happened. I started wondering to myself if I had ended
up in a dream, but when I tried to wake myself up nothing happened.
I was scared that I had lost control and might have been stuck in the lower astral. However, looking back I think the reason I couldn’t leave is
because I wasn’t completely done with what I needed to do there. Just at the point when I started to get worried, an entity came up and put a
reassuring hand on my shoulder. At first this entity appeared to me as a small child then took the shape of an adult. I am not sure how I know, but
I came to realize that this child was my step father’s first child by another woman that had died at a really young age. This child took me to see
my step father’s guide.
To add a hint of a much needed backstory, my stepfather was pretty much the bane of my childhood. To me he was an awful man who treated me, my mother
and often times my other siblings pretty horribly. When I was 17 I moved out of the house and pretty much never looked back. I came and went for a
few years and then shortly thereafter I left the state.
The conversation I had with my stepfathers guide, enlightened me to what a somewhat terrible life my stepfather had lived. With the loss of his first
child he lived the rest of his life in a constant state of fear that he would lose his family, which eventually happened. She told me that my leaving
had devastated him. We talked a bit longer about my stepfather and then had a short conversation about the directors and the talk that I had with
them. She advised me to go back and talk with them again as she was pretty sure I was confused about what they had told me.
In thinking about the building where I had found the Director’s previously, I found myself standing in front of it again. I made my way inside to
where I knew them to be and found that I was somewhat interrupting something else that was going on at this time. They were kind enough at my
interruption and acknowledged me. I remember explaining that I was sent back by, I think her name was Barbara my step dad’s guide and that I wanted
clarification on what we had talked about previously. As the main director began to speak I found myself pulled back into my body and awakened.
While I remember the vivid detail that existed during my time there, my memory of the detail is fuzzy. Other than the times I specifically made
conscious mental notes towards remembering some of the details are lost to me. I feel as though I was in this other place for at least a few hours,
but I don’t have a full recollection of what I did there, or a full recollection of what my guide said to me or even what he looked like. This is
however, by far, the longest lasting and most detailed Astral trip I have ever taken and I thought I would share it. Any thoughts or comments are
appreciated.
