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 stronger and have more 'impact' than the resident memories.Emotion can thus be used to empower OBE memories, to give them more impact on thephysical brain. It is for the above reasons that fearful or exciting, more dramatic, OBE'sare more easily remembered than are the more mundane type.I remember during my early days of OBE (when I started doing it deliberately)floating near my physical body trying to work out why I seemed to be failing and losingthe OBE memory most of the time. I was trying to OBE just about every night, but hadonly succeeded a few times that year. At these times, my projected double had noproblem exiting my physical body. I wondered, as it was so easy, why I was notremembering more of my OBE's. Then I remembered how excited I was during and afterthese OBE's, and started to wonder....'hmmm, maybe emotion itself had something to dowith carrying the OBE memories back into my physical body with me?'I made a successful 'emotional' reentry that night, and remembered my OBEreasoning. I have applied this reasoning ever since then, and have thus had countless successful OBE's. Now, I always 'shout' my success 'savagely' in some way as I makethe reentry. I hold the OBE memory very strongly in mind and use a trigger phrase toenforce an effective memory download, i.e., "I did it!" or "My hands melted!" or etc.This works! I always come to (wake up) with my trigger phrase on my lips, and with fullmemory of my OBE. This really does make a world of difference. Good luck! ...never give up! ...you'll succeed if you keep trying!Progress Update:***First, the Treatise on
