"Remember your thoughts are your existence while in an OOB state, therefore, your thoughts cause an instantaneous reaction.

p. 77

During your first couple of OOBEs you may experience some difficulty in controlling your motions. My best advice is to think of single words so you don’t confuse your thoughts. For instance if you want to fly simply say "fly". Don’t think about flying for all this does is clutter your thought processes. Just think mentally to yourself "fly" if you want to fly. If you want to go up simply think "up". If you want to go forward think "forward" and so on."

"The first thing I did was try to visit L. Angel with her indent, but as before I was unsuccessful. I must have used the wrong name. ...

[vide p. 30]

p. 78

I now believe that the name Phoenix is actually the name of a street and not a city."

[p. 31] {Actually a city, but in AL, not GA.}

"A common report in OOBEs is the existence of a silver to bluish looking cord connecting you to your physical. I have never seen this cord".

{Perhaps the author did not see the sliver cord because he doubted the importance of divine entities who enable OOBE, and who enable the silver cord’s visibility to dreamers.}

p. 80

"In the night to follow the brown lines became less and less noticeable until they disappeared all together. ...

p. 81

"I have "eavesdropped" on numerous telephone conversations while being in the vicinity of a telephone pole."

p. 81

"One of the most common interpretations [of existence] in an OOBE state is your dream body. ... You can appear

{Deities can transform one’s OOB form howsoever they are requaested to do; just as they can produce one’s dream-body in any form requaested.}

p. 82

to be any conceivable shape imaginable such as fairy, vampire, werewolf, etc."

"I have never smelled anything in an OOB state nor have I tasted anything. This does not mean that these sensations are impossible, only that I have never experienced them. Maybe some other daring OOB explorer has."

{"The projected double uses the same basic senses as the physical body, albeit at a greatly enhanced level. It can still see and hear and smell and taste and touch" (AD, p. 30).}

p. 87

"a shift in consciousness ... occurs when your consciousness is instantly transported from one place to another ... . ...

p. 88

Right after you have successfully shifted ... Vision and hearing may ... be somewhat impaired. This is easily corrected by thinking "see" and[/]or "hear." The person you planned to visit may not be right in front of you but is probably in the near vicinity. In most situations you have to fly around a bit to find him or her."

"It is possible to change your indent halfway through a shift. You may, however, experience side effects due to this action. Such side effects include harsh vibrations, a feeling of an unusually long shift, and extreme disorientation after the shift. What happens can be compared to a non-physical whiplash."

"I left directly from the hypnagogic state by mentally yelling ... several times. I experienced unusually strong vibrations, especially in the jaw area. {I experience a dislocation of my jaw by praeternatural force, while I was confined in gaol in B., GA.} This usually happens to me when I indent directly from the hypnagogic state and do not bother to get out first."

p. 92

If ever I get around to it I can find out his whereabouts simply by asking for his address while out-of-body. This can be done through subconscious telepathy which allows one to communicate with a consciously awake person while out-of-body."

p. 93

[instance of communicating with an embodied person, while out-of-body] "I realized that we were communicating through telepathy and not sounds. I told her ... to write down my telephone number. ... Finally I realized that this wasn’t working and I asked for her telephone number. She told me it. ... I tried to wake up quickly so I could immediately write the number down. ... I grabbed a pen and to my surprise may hand went right through the table and the pen! I was still out-of-body. ... When I had woken up for real I had completely forgotten her telephone number."

p. 96

"if at nighttime you get out and try to indent on a friend there is a good possibility that your friend may also be dreaming or is in an OOB

p. 97

If you ever try to indent on someone and feel that you are having a bad hallucination it may be that you are actually in the person’s dream. ... If you indent on someone and then later question whether you are in the other person’s dream, you can find out ... if you are trapped in a dreamscape".

"Another possibility is literally pulling your friend out of her physical body while she is in the hypnagogic state.

{Vieira mentioned doing this, usually in co-operation assisting a divine entity in performing this.}

On numerous occasions I have had entity’s [efforts] pull me out of my body, sometimes willingly, sometimes not."

{This was also mentioned by Vieira. (It always happened willingly with Vieira, who was always compliant).}

p. 99

"you can indent on ... household pets ... . I have a pure breed dog ... which I have not only indented on while out-of-body, but have had several mutual OOBEs with."

[instance of a mutual dream of false-awakening, shared with a pet] "I woke up in my dream .. and I noticed that my room looked kind of

p. 100

funny. I thought that maybe I ... was having a breakthrough dream.

To answer my question I thought about floating up and I did. ...

{I have likewise floated into the air in my room, in a recent dream of false awakening.}

I flew down my stairway and was about to fly out the door when I noticed [the pet dog] was whimpering and shaking in his sleep. ... Curious, I indented by mentally screaming [the dog’s name], and felt my consciousness shifting. ... For the next couple of minutes my dog and I took turns chasing each other flying back and forth".

p. 100

"Whenever I am out-of-body and in the near vicinity of my house, my fully awake dog knows this and usually wants to play or beg for food."

p. 101

"if you had a pet that died recently you may still be able to see its non-physical presence around your house

while you are out-of-body. ... Robert Monroe in his book Far Journeys describes an OOBE where right outside his house he notices three "relaxed and observant" cats. [Robert Monroe : Far Journeys. NY : Doubleday, 1985. pp. 257-8] Later he realizes that these cats were all favored household pets that had died physically in the past three years."

"I remembered a previous meeting with this entity and mentally screamed "Johnston," which was his name. Instead of my consciousness shifting and me traveling, he appeared before me.

{The name "Johnston" is likely intended to signify "Johnstown", where the dam was "authorized in 1836", commenced in 1840 ("RPC"), damaged in 1862 ("PRO"), repaired in 1879 ("DSV"), enlarged in 1887 ("SRJF"), and burst in 1889.}

I asked Johnston how long he had been doing this and he told me for 128 years."

{The date was in (p. 101) 1993; 128 years earlier would have been 1865 (end of the Civil War).}

"In an earlier visit Johnston met me in a dream and proceeded to tell me that I was dreaming".

{On one occasion, I was told by a deity in a dream that I was experiencing a dream. [This happened when I had just said to that deity that I wondered whether the scene were a dream. Indeed, the deity was willing to tell this to me only because I had (without being prompted) some nights earlier hailed one such deity as "dream-deity".]}

"I do not believe that humans are alone in having these unconscious OOBEs. ... Hours before a storm birds have been reported flying to safety in the thousands. All types of animals ... have been seen running from a fire in an uncontrollable panic for no apparent reason. Hours later a forest fire starts ... . ... Perhaps these animals also have unconscious OOBEs which warn them".

{A monitory OOBE would not (especially not any "unconscious" one!) cause these animals to flee (because they would not well understand, nor heed, it); however, some protective spirits may be inducing panic in the animals, causing those animals to flee without the animals’ knowing why.}

My consciousness began shifting and I fell through a tunnel or more correctly I was punched through a tunnel for the speed was amazing."

"In another OOBE I was flying with a black female entity. She was trying to teach me how to increase my clarity of awareness while in an OOB state. ... The results were amazing. ... Everything that I saw seemed to be enhanced in brilliant colors."

{To notice, and be duly impressed, with colors (and the like) in one’s environs is an indication of having just achieved bodhi (kensho).}

"You live several multiple lives at once, not in succession. ... The hypnotist then tells the subject to look even further back to a past life. After successful regression library research is done to help validate the existence of this past person."

{Another "out of body" experiencer and admirer of Robert Monroe, namely Val Valerian, likewise hath likewise disapproved (in his Matrix series of books) the terminology of "sequential lives".}

p. 121

"You can visit one of your other selves if you so desire. In an OOB state indent by saying, "I seek another self," again and again until you feel your consciousness begin to shift. After you stop and are reoriented look around

{By meeting a past self, one would be influencing one’s own past, a logical impossibility. What one could meet would be a spirit/deity falsely impersonating one’s self.}

p. 122

you. You will probably see your other self. ... you will recognize him or her instantly for they are your other self(s).

p. 123

"One of the most fascinating OOBEs you can try is meeting an older self. Unlike meeting a younger self, the future is always changeable"

{A "changeable future" is not really a future at all.}

"OOBEs involving a probable future ... are commonly and incorrectly called precognitive dreams. They are not a dream at all."

{Since it is quite impossible to enter (and thus influence) the future and then return, these cannot be any OOBEs; but must indeed be truly dreams.}

"remember that you currently live several lives as once."
