memories will usually be retained, but sometimes a mixture will occur. This can be part dream, part physical/etheric and part OOBE memories. Thesuccessful downloading of projection memories strong enough to overridephysical/etheric body and dream memories for the same time period, strong enough toleave a lasting impression on the physical brain of a projector, appears to be the real keyto successful and repeatable OOBE. See my new book ASTRAL DYNAMICSChapter 21 - Overcoming The Mind Split - for more detailed information on this.Mind Split Effects:It is fairly common for projectors to experience a perfect projection right up until theexit, where they feel all the vibrations, rapid heart beat, floating sensation, etc, and then itall just goes away. This leaves the projector, usually energetically exhausted, oftenpartially or fully paralyzed, thinking they have simply failed the exit. What may oftenhappen in cases like this are normal and successful OOBEs, but where consciousness hasremained awake and centered in the physical/etheric mind after the mind split ofprojection has occurred. The resulting memories retained after the experience, in caseslike this, are thus from the physical/etheric side of the experience only.The projected double, in many cases, simply stays out of its body for too long, whichallows the physical/etheric minds to fall into a deep sleep. Once deep sleep occurs, theprojected double becomes effectively locked out of its physical/etheric body for theduration of sleep, or until waking occurs. (re why I recommend short projections) Theprojection side of this experience (the memory of it) has thus been totally lost, as if itnever was. The physical/etheric mind (internal) side of the experience has the only solidmemories for the whole experience, and the projected doubles memories have failed tomake a strong enough impression on the physical brain to become memorable afterreintegration. Basically, the projection memories have failed to make the final wrinklein the physical brain after the projection.Another mind-split also appears to occur between the real time double and the astralbody. This begins to happen naturally within several minutes of the start of an averagereal time projection, but can often occur within a few seconds. At some point during anyreal time projection reality will always begin to fluctuate. This appears to be the sign thatthe physical/etheric mind has begun dreaming. At this point the real time body usuallybegins to run low on energy (in most cases, apparently not having enough energy tomaintain its conscious integrity whilst the dream mind is active) and it thus startsshifting into the seemingly more easily maintained (but more dimensionally remote)astral vehicle in the astral dimension. Soon, the real time body will effectively fall asleepand will then be reeled in to hover, as if asleep, just above the sleeping physical body. Itwill remain there until the natural waking of the physical body and mind causesreintegration of all its multi-dimensional aspects, thus ending the mind split.Notes on Projection & Reintegration:1.The sleep state, or trance state, is required for projection to occur.2.Trance = body asleep + mind awake.3.The waking state is required for reintegration to occur.4.The only exception to the above is the in-between trance state, where the body isasleep but
