"TREATISE ON OOBE & ASTRAL PROJECTION"Part 8 of Version 2.4ByRobert Bruce(C)Copyright(C) 1994-1999Waking Paralysis: Some degree of physical paralysis is a sure sign an OOBE is IN PROGRESS. Itshows the mind split, in some form, has already occurred. The physical body has varyingdegrees of difficulty animating itself when the mind split effect is active. Even thoughthey may not be aware a projection is in progress, a projector's physical/etheric body mayfeel total physical paralysis, or some degree of lethargy and heaviness and disorientationin their physical body. The degree of this depends greatly upon the strength of theprojection and how much energy is being used to maintain it. Strong sensations likethese point to an OOBE being in progress.The degree of paralysis shows the 'strength' of the projection. A full poweredReal Time OOBE will cause total physical paralysis (full waking paralysis) while alighter level of projection can still allow the projector's physical body to stumble to thebathroom - albeit mumbling incoherently and feeling like they are walking on pillows,body fairly numb and fuzzy - but ambulatory all the same.Waking paralysis (often called sleep paralysis) will also occur where the real timebody has been generated 'inside' the physical/etheric body, but actual separation or fullprojection from the physical/etheric bodies has not occurred. This means a partialprojection has occurred, albeit internally, and is causing some degree of waking paralysis.The real time 'projectable double' in this case has not projected completely free of it'sphysical body. If this is suspected, the projector should relax and let it happen, or use aprojection technique like rope. A full projection can then occur if it has not alreadyhappened.Note: Many people are plagued by waking paralysis, and it can indeed be a terrifyingexperience, capable of causing psychological damage. Waking paralysis can best bebroken by concentrating on a single big toe and trying hard to move it. Concentrate'everything' on moving that big toe. Once this moves, even a tiny bit, full physicalmovement will be instantly restored. Unwanted Vibrations & Projection Symptoms:Frequent bouts of vibrations, waking paralysis and other projection relatedsymptoms are a big problem for some people. Many people do not like these sensationsand some can be absolutely terrified by them. Because of this, many people avoid sleepas a way of avoiding the projection symptoms, or other projection related problems, likebad oobe experiences or nightmares. This is the very worse thing they could do as thiswill have the reverse effect, and will greatly worsen the condition.1. Lack of sleep causes overtiredness, which encourages projection symptoms.2. Sleeping flat on back encourages projection symptoms.3. Hunger raises vibrations and encourages projection symptoms.Lack of sleep can also cause a loss of appetite, which can further aggravate thisdebilitating condition. Together with disturbing energy sensations and bad OOBEexperiences, this can set up a psychological reflex and a physical condition which canprogressively worsen the longer it is allowed to continue.The very first thing to address in cases like this is the
