532-OB: Walking down staircase

 

5:35 am

I had at least two OBEs back to back. This is the first.

I had been doing Byron Katie’s The Work and was lying on my right. I saw the ceiling, and there was a bunch of what looked like pubic hair stuck at the top center of the ceiling. I realized that I must be in the phase state.

I then rubbed my fingers left and right, rubbed my palms together, and tried to induce an out-of-body experience. I rubbed my face, and I think I also rubbed the bed.

I sat upright, moved nearer to the edge of the bed, put my feet on the bedroom floor, and stood up. I was in the bedroom of my Raja Uda house.

I then turned left and walked towards the door. I tried to peer at my palms to make color and light appear in the world. It worked a little bit, but I was still walking in darkness.

I reached the bedroom door, grabbed the handle, and tried to pull it open. It was very heavy, but in the end I managed to open it. I saw that it was dark outside.

I held onto the banister on the left and walked towards the staircase going downstairs. The rooms on my right and left, including the bathroom, were all in darkness.

I then walked down the staircase, holding onto the left banister. As I reached the bottom of the staircase, the area on the right, towards the kitchen, was dark.

I turned left into the living room and walked in. It was also dark. I again tried to peer at my hands—the skin and palms—trying to make more light and color appear.

Anyway, I ignored that and walked straight to the main door, opened the metal grille, and walked out. The moment I stepped outside, everything became bright and colored.

It was daytime.

I saw furniture all around. I touched a tabletop—a fairly high table, like a prayer table—on the right. I spoke out loud, “It’s like I’m really here,” and tapped on it.

I turned left and saw other furniture as well. I walked around, touching things, and kept telling myself, “It’s like I’m really here.”

I was amazed at how real it felt.

There was furniture on both the right and left. Then I turned and tried to walk out through another door. It was also a metal grille. When I tried to pass through it, the dream faded.

6:35 am

This is the second OBE.

I did Byron Katie’s The Work to let go of everything. I was sleeping, and then I found myself in the correct phase state.

I imagined rubbing my fingers and managed to do so. Then I rubbed my hands together and felt a familiar, brief sensation. I managed to float out into the open, but it faded.

I tried to re-enter the state again and imagined rubbing my palms together this time. It would come and go—come and go.

Finally, I managed to feel my hands materialize and rub together. I felt a familiar, rubbery sensation and tried to take it further, but it faded again.

I think this happened one or two more times.

It seemed quite effortless. All I needed to do was have the intention—to have an out-of-body experience—and to think about it just before falling asleep.

Then it would happen.

I would find myself in the proper state of mind—the fuzzy, hazy type of feeling.
