up during a conscious exit OBE attempt(which is especially noticeable during early OBE's and OBE attempts), this is a sign thatawake consciousness is throwing a spanner into the works, so to speak.Apart from the 'unavoidable' presence of awake consciousness - which must beovercome through repeated OBE attempt experience (which develops the projectionmechanism to the point where it can compensate), plus simple bio-energetic development- most of the problems this causes stem from a lack of deep physical relaxation. This isthe most 'widespread' problem and general cause of this. The vast majority of would-beprojectors do not attain a sufficient state of deep physical relaxation prior to OBEattempts, and then experience heavy exit sensations and problems as a result."No way!" you might say, "I'm in full trance and so 'must' be deeply physicallyrelaxed enough for projection to occur. Well, while an understandable assumption, thinkon this: it is quite possible to attain a fairly deep level of trance (usually too deep foreasy OBE) while the physical body still retains sufficient physical tension to interferewith the projection mechanism. In a similar way, it is also possible to fall asleep while still full of stress and tension. For example, I can attain a full trance state while standingand even walking - which obviously entails physical tension, which obviously wouldinterfere with an OBE attempt, if I attempted one at this time.My suggestion is to read The Treatise on OBE, Version 2.00, parts 1 - 8, and thento spend at least a few weeks practicing deep physical relaxation, and trance work only.Do this 'separately' from OBE attempts, preferably at times when you are wide-awake,like in the morning. This makes relaxation and trance work much harder, but has farmore development benefits because of this.If after following the above advice, you still have problems, I'd consider theMind-Split as being the culprit stopping you from 'remembering' your OBE's. If youexperience vibrations or other exit sensations prior to the racing heart center sensation, itpossible that you had already succeeded at projecting, but had missed the exit: meaningthat after your projected double had departed, your physical/etheric aspect was continuingto attempt projection. Under this circumstance, projection is impossible; re the ethericbody cannot leave its physical counterpart while a OBE is 'already' in progress.Emotion and Reentry:The emotional content of the reentry phase is 'extremely' important as itstrengthens OBE memories. If the mind split is responsible, and it probably is, for failedOBE attempts, this means your memories of existing in your physical/etheric body arenot allowing your OBE memories to 'overwrite' them after reentry. The nature of thephysical brain is to record only a single memory for any single time period. During anOBE, two completely separate sets of memory are present - those of the physical/ethericbody and those of its projected double. The 'strongest' memory set will be the setretained, as a recallable memory, after an OBE. The memories of the physical/ethericbody have more of an immediate impact on the physical brain, as these memories areautomatically recorded, as per normal physical memory recording.In order for an OBE memory download to take place, and overwrite thesememories, they have to be
