Consciousness lies behind the mind and the heart. It can use both in a harmonious way; in a way that neither the mind nor the heart can do independently. Example, cold reason cannot love unconditionally and, yet, a hearts unconditional love can be tragically blind. Separately neither brings truth nor balance. But a witnessing consciousness can allow you to harmonize both.

The frustration that people experience while learning to project is entirely due to attempting to build your house before building a solid foundation first. Just as one can’t immediately play Beethoven or Bach without LOTS of practice first… you also can’t just do a conscious exit projection without first mastering your mind.

I think everyone, at one point or another throughout their lives, has hear this phrase before – “Empty your cup”. It’s not directly spiritual or religiously related, although it can be related to just about every aspect of your life.

I was thinking about that yesterday and trying to figure out what kind of belief traps I’ve been trapped in over the past little while. In a post I made back at the end of December (How I Came To My Beliefs), I made the distinction that there was a point where I didn’t know that I was allowed to believe something that ended up being very important towards what I needed to know in order to progress. I’ve noticed that this is a Belief Trap.

It took me over 10 years to make any real progress towards my goal of experiencing astral projection. I was thinking about this last night and I felt it might be helpful for others to know the points during those 10 years that I feel were the prime motivators for my unsuccessful attempts.
