Swear I saw a spirit/ghost on a bike /\/ the middle of the street last October & it disappeared by walking through the walls of a neighbors house.

I had this brief moment during my (closed eyes) meditation today where I realized I was seeing the room I was in. But as soon as I became aware of it, this vision disappeared. It felt like astral sight, I think.

Astral projection has long been a goal of mine, but I've so far been unable to accomplish it. This small episode of astral sight is encouraging, but I can't truly discern if it was just my mind sort of remembering my surroundings. It didn't feel like that was the case...it felt like actual sight, but more dream-like.

I think I should note that I wasn't trying to astral project during this meditation. I was just doing an "I AM" meditation and this vision happened on its own.

It'd probably be worthwhile for me to go through a more serious, disciplined approach toward astral projection if I really want to make it happen. So far in life I haven't done this, probably mostly because of my ADHD/executive dysfunction.

I do have the Gateway Voyage audio files that I bought years ago. Maybe I should start going through them and document my progress here.

Any experienced astral projectors here? Or would-be astral projectors?

Hello do you have any idea or info on developing astral sight/vision?

Greetings,

A few things first concerning astral vision in terms of how it works. Astral sight will more than likely not be crystal clear as vision may be for an individual here. Errors in vision can occur and it takes discernment to weed out what has been viewed. Vision for individuals may also vary (such as covered in the post linked below by Feistyceltic) and exploring what works best in terms of sight for you should be considered. Beware of the idealized “Golden Standard” for vision that circulates in literature and online. It may be obtainable for some, but not for everyone. 

Vision clarity can also be idealized with human concepts mapped onto astral sight. It may start off dark and murky before eventually getting a tad clearer with the amount of practice. Astral vision does need to be worked and maintained with practice if someone should desire to keep the level of clarity they have. Though, it needs to be said that vision in the astral can change on its own from outside factors. A person’s physical body can contribute to how well they see in the astral such as: fatigue, sickness, good or bad health, and etc. A person’s energy body and system may also contribute too, be sure to check if you have any maladies that could be contributing to a lack of sight. 

In some cases, people may not see at all in the astral and that is okay. They use their other senses to perceive the world around them. This is where knowing energy sensing is particularly helpful as it makes up for the visual component. Variations in sight for those that can see also exist such as seeing energy blobs, vague shapes of scenery and spirits, abstract surroundings, or may have decent sight that translate how people see here.

Visualization is an important step in practicing for metawork as it allows the user to have some idea of what is going on. It will not be like seeing how individuals see here, more of like an idea in the mind that can be projected outwards. If that part of visualization is difficult, it may be good to do a method that involves putting it down on paper. Play to your strengths and be aware of your limits. Do not practice so hard it strains you as that is counterproductive.

Without getting too verbose, Themanicnami has a post linked below on visualization and various exercises if you struggle with that. If you can visualize a familiar object and practice with that, it is a potential way to get better with astral sight. It is highly encouraged to read through some of the posts linked below as they may be useful to you.

If you have any questions or need any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to send in another ask if you need anything. Further questions are more than welcome.

Sincerely,

Curator

Hey! Love your blog, especially the images. I've interacted with Beelzebub a bit before and was wondering how he appears to you? I remember reading you don't automatically associate him with flies. I've always seen him as humanoid, and a very majestic personage at that.

Aw, thank you. <3

Yes, I do not associate flies or insects with him because in some studies, the "Lord of the flies" thing is seen as a mistranslation and a bastardization of his name. Therefore, I only associate flies and insects with him in that sense.

He has always appeared humanoid to me, as well. I don't want to divulge personal details of this, though, because it's my UPG, and I believe that they can appear differently to everyone, depending on what we are prepared to perceive, what we believe we will perceive, and what they so choose to show to us.

I will say, though, that I think he's...well, I was going to say beautiful, but I don't know if that's the right word? Handsome? I don't know if I would use majestic for my personal perception of him, just because when I hear that word, I think of, like, scepters and red velvet capes and the like. ;) But that's just for my own perception; that doesn't mean that's not a perfect word for him or that that is not how he appears to you! <3Then again, I just went to look up the definition of "majestic" to see if I'm being dumb, and it appears that I am, since it's defined as, "having or showing impressive beauty or dignity." So, forget what I just said; I would describe him as majestic, too, definitely!!! ;) Haha

Random Side Note for the Interested: He's appeared to me a total of three or four different ways. One of those ways is the way he used to appear to me and sometimes still does; one of those ways is the way he usually appears now; and one of those ways is a way he has only appeared to me once, as a kind of treat to me because he appeared as one of my favorite people, and it made me smile and laugh.

Important Note: When I say he appears to me, I don't mean that I physically see him or anything like that. My astral sight sucks. It's more of a mind's eye kind of deal, I guess, and it usually only happens when I try mental projection. Even then, I have to try really hard to keep him in sight, and it kind of comes as little flashes. It's hard to explain. I think I have only ever seen him in astral once, and that only lasted for a few seconds. I've never really managed astral travel/projection.
