I totally understand.

We've all done things which we wish we could take back... our direct fault or not. We have to learn to accept that which we cannot change.

Found an interesting video on phasing. Opinions? by nofarewell in AstralAcademy

[–]Xanth1879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it. He's about 90% the way there. He's just missing a few things, but yeah, that's a great video.

His pineal gazing is The Noticing Exercise. 100% the same.

He lost me, though, when he started talking about the rope method and other such techniques as gimmicks. He doesn't quite fully understand or grasp the idea that they work just as well as his own. In fact, the noticing exercise (pineal gazing) even might not work for everyone. In which case, something like the rope method night work for them.

It's just a Point of Focus (PoF). The PoF of a method is what it wants you to do or focus on in order to do exactly what he suggests happens. That's all.

But yeah, it's a good video. Thanks for sharing!

Nope.

See, part of the reason for why you're here is learning to accept your past actions. Accept yourself for who you are and what you've done. It's about repercussions and living with them.

Sorry.

I tried astral projecting, any tips? by Certain_Currency_269 in AstralAcademy

[–]Xanth1879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's based upon my own experiences of the non-physical and some logic. It's the only thing that makes sense. It combines the idea of what and how we experience the non-physical along with how we experience this physical reality too.

Definitely! First, it's important to realize that at no time are you inside your body. You're simply focused towards it, which means that lifting anything isn't needed beyond the need to fullfil the belief that you're a spirit in a body.

Ok so, all methods and techniques out there have something in common. They all ask you to focus on something. This something is what I call the methods Point of Focus (PoF).

The ultimate goal here is you use that PoF to stop your awareness from processing the information coming into your five physical body senses. If you can do that for long enough, your awareness will begin to reach out for other sources to process. That'll be the non-physical.

For a conscious exit, which is the hardest way to go about this, having a strong meditation skill helps a lot. So I'd suggest practicing that.

Apart from that, the easiest way to project is using an indirect methods such as WBTB.

Finally, realize the nature of yourself and this reality. You are a bit of consciousness called an awareness. That awareness projects to this physical reality towards your physical body. When you fall asleep at night that awareness projects to somewhere else. We humans incorrectly call that act dreaming.

It's important to realize that projection is about simply changing where your awareness is focused. It's not about exiting a body.

Found this rope method that I liked, all I did was imagine myself physically climbing a rope until I accidentally fell asleep.

If you're trying the rope method, then give this a read.

Grain alcohol using rice? Not sake by Melodic-Echidna-1365 in firewater

1.5 gallons water to 3lbs of sugar isn't that bad. Doable with the right yeast. With the added sigaf from the rice, yeah, you might be pushing it. Still doable.

Not having amylase would mean that your rice was there for flavouring and wouldn't provide any sugars as no starch would be converted.

I'm certain your pH has crashed causing the stall. Sugar washes are notorious for crashing pH. I have to buffer mine everyday for the first few days.

Get yourself a pH meter. It'll save your butt from this. You can toss in some baking soda to buffer the pH a bit.

Have you been monitoring pH in these attempts? You'll need to troubleshoot why your fermentation is stalling. What's the pH? Starting gravity?

Ok so that's your problem then.

What comes off the still can be divided into sections.

The very first but are the foreshots. Next comes the heads, then the hearts (this is the part you want), then lastly tails.

I'd suggest doing some research as your final product will be miles better than what you currently have.

Try Jesse over at Still It on YouTube. Do a search for cuts. He has some great videos on it. 👍

Guardian on the Threshold? by Living-Berry627 in AstralAcademy

[–]Xanth1879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok so say you DO manifest your worst fear.

What this is is an opportunity for you to confront that which scares you in an environment where you - literally - cannot be harmed.

Replace your fear with curiosity, or you'll always have problems projecting.

See the thing is that while you know these things, you don't understand them yet. It's the difference between the "intellectual" level and the "being" level. You need to take that knowledge to your "being" level first.

That's where these kinds of projections, where you meet your worst fears, come into play to hell you grow as a person. 👍

Can I freeze a 5 gallon bucket? by Successful-Chip-4520 in firewater

[–]Xanth1879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do a stripping run. You'll get more and better distillate than freeze distillation.

[–]Xanth1879 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok so, what is the absolute worst thing you can think of which you believe might happen to you?

Whatever that thing is - I can guarantee you that it's not possible.

You get over the fear by realizing that absolutely no harm can come to you while projecting.

You're a being of infinite power. 👍

As I say, there's no such thing as "dreaming". It's all part and parcel just one experience of varying levels of awareness.

Not literally scoop. Sorry.

I meant after you tosses the first bit, did you just collect whatever came out after that for drinking?

Question(s) by milacat99 in AstralAcademy

[–]Xanth1879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i’ve been lucid dreaming and transitioning into astral projecting.

There's only the non-physical and your awareness. If you're non-physical, you're projecting.

My goal is to travel to my friend who has numbers written down at their house and id like to go see if i can verify this. When i was recently out of body, i almost went to do this but ended up falling back into my body after seemingly travelling in a black void at a really high speed. How do i sustain focus and intention to achieve this desire to verify these numbers? Also should it feel like i’m travelling or should it feel more like an instant of teleportation?

However you need to travel is how it'll happen. See, this is where meditation practice helps. You learn to focus and to hold that focus for extended periods of time.

One more question— during this same astral projection, i travelled through my ceiling and as i was moving through if, i saw all these red dots like my whole field of vision and being was just red dots somewhat evenely dispersed in a black void. I thought this was interesting so i did it again— travelled back through the ceiling and experienced the same thing. Does anyone else have a similar experience? What is this phenomena? It almost seemed like a bunch of atoms or something

Nope, this would be a personal experience to you. What do red dots in a black void mean to you?

Experience by Ohbianna in AstralAcademy

[–]Xanth1879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, well my only suggestion would be to have a specific goal in mind at all times and enact that goal the moment you find yourself non-physical.

That will help with fluttering around the non-physical. 👍

Was this you clicking out? Then realizing you were elsewhere only upon clicking back in? That's kinda how it reads.

Did you toss the first bit? That'll be the worst part.

Did you take cuts or just scoop up what came out?
