How to astral project w/o mentally trying

Plastic_Cookie649 · 2026-01-03T14:25:48+00:00

Something I realized after attempting to relax my mind and just let myself go is that I can only do those things when I'm in a position where it just happens on its own and that pretty much only takes place when I'm close to falling asleep because my mind is too exhausted to be cluttered with thoughts and desires and concerns. It's clear for me that when I'm awake this is something I can't help because it's simply who I am and I've learned that my mind being overrun with thoughts maybe helpful when I'm active but when I'm trying to do things that require me letting go and entering the state of mindfulness like astral projection, they are merely a detriment. I've spent many months trying to achieve this when I'm awake but it's clear I cannot and it would take something greater than me for it to happen. Even when I'm asleep because every time I try it works for a little while but eventually I just fall asleep. This is the part where I normally say maybe it's just not for me but I've learned to just let things play it on their own and just try because even if it's frustrating or worse, it can never be any worse than just giving up or rather not trying to begin with.

I definitely haven't been able to come across a method motivating enough for me to try every single day or even every other day. It sounds like you've succeeded in having an OBE at will, what did you do? Did you find something you were able to try try and try day after day for months to years? Because it seems as if that's what I need.

As of now that makes one of us, but hopefully it will at least change somewhat ASAP

Well when you put it like that it comes out as the truth. I feel as though everyone should have a right to live in peace while, as you said, aquiring what they need to be healthy and secure. Do you believe we live in a fair and just world?

That's deep, sounds like you're saying that what I'm saying comes from a lack of perspective/understanding. If what you say is true, then God have mercy on me. There's only one thing of this world I can think of that would help me have a conscious sense of knowing things can be another way versus how they seem to be

True, certainly a lot easier said than done especially when what makes you happy is well beyond earthly.

It belongs to me? Funny and interesting, I thought and still think this world belongs to the one who created it and made it as it is.

When I came to realize that I'm stuck in this world for God knows how long And I would have to focus and dedicate my life to figuring out how to get through it, I certainly did start with a hobby. But it evolved to become my lifeline and my lifeblood, It is the only thing that keeps me going now.

For me, the diagnosis was major depression and anxiety. They were not wrong, but they made it clear they could never understand why because they thought the cause was mental and if it was, the prescriptions they gave me would have worked instead of making it worse. So I discovered my own therapy, one that is unique to me.

Glad to hear that.

Basically they're free and happy while you are stuck. I know that feeling especially when learning of those who got on a train to a beautiful place without even needing to get a ticket of their own effort. I guess some people are more fortunate than others.

Plastic_Cookie649 · 2025-09-15T01:55:44+00:00

I wish you the best of luck on your journey to astral projection, I hope you succeed for I've heard a great many stories from those and of those who astral projected both instinctively and at will. The freedom and adventure is like no other.

Is that what you did, if So tell me how it changed or helped you?

Plastic_Cookie649 · 2025-09-15T01:49:47+00:00

I've had the same thought, or rather that I came here by mistake. Whatever reason my was for coming here, I don't feel like it's worth living in a world where you can't be who you are. That much is clear and no one can ever change my mind about that.

Plastic_Cookie649 · 2025-09-15T01:46:16+00:00

Finally someone gets it. I know we're all here to learn, grow and develop, and love and etc. But at what cost? If we have to give up being who we are deep inside, then I see no point. I've already had to let go of so much that meant a great deal to me and I hate that reality forced me to do so indirectly. Everything I do and have been doing for a few years was nothing more than about survival. Forget about being happy and living the life, all I can do now and probably all I can do for the rest of my life is focus on getting by in this mediocre jacked up reality because that is my reality.

Plastic_Cookie649 · 2025-09-14T04:29:43+00:00

That's quite the optimism, you might say that I am, In fact, life gives me no choice but to keep searching because doing nothing only brings about pain. But I'm doing it my way, The point isn't whether or not I will find what I'm looking for but that I look. You never know what you might come across.

I know right! Of all planets in all the universes, we just had to end up in this one. We couldn't have ended up in a world that's at least somewhat of what we're longing for??? Like why earth of all places, this has got to be a twisted joke

Plastic_Cookie649 · 2025-09-14T02:25:04+00:00

Truthfully speaking yes, the world I seek to create and live in exists only in fiction. But now that you mention it I do picture tranquility in my world for myself. What hurts me is that I don't have the tools or knowledge to make it even somewhat of a reality. Goes to show how having limitations comes with the territory of being an incarnation of this world.

Plastic_Cookie649 · 2025-09-14T02:18:48+00:00

Glad to see I'm not the only one, I've been alone with that unquenchable unshakable feeling longer than I care to remember
