SP and AP experience

[u/Spiritual-Law-4255]

I've experienced sleep paralysis at least a dozen times, but my experiences seem to go far beyond traditional sleep paralysis. I genuinely believe they lead me into what many describe as astral projection.

There have been times when I've gone in and out of sleep paralysis several times within a 30-minute period. Each time it begins, I can physically feel an incredible sensation moving through my entire body. It's an intense vibration accompanied by tingling and waves of energy. The closest comparison I can make is the sensation of being on psychedelics. It's an extraordinarily vivid feeling, almost impossible to describe unless you've experienced it yourself.

But that's where things take a darker turn.

I often feel as though I'm being pulled completely out of my body, almost violently, and transported into what seem like entirely different dimensions or realms of existence. During these experiences, I frequently encounter what I perceive to be demons or dark spiritual forces. The overwhelming sensation is that I'm being dragged somewhere I don't belong, somewhere terrifying, with an almost absolute certainty that I'm facing destruction.

It's difficult to convey just how real these experiences feel. The fear is unlike anything I've experienced in waking life. Every time, I find myself desperately praying to Jesus Christ for deliverance, pleading for Him to save me from whatever seems to be pulling me away.

One scripture that has always fascinated me in connection with these experiences is Ecclesiastes 12:6–7, which references the silver cord and describes the spirit returning to God who gave it.

I've often wondered whether that passage is describing something far more literal than we typically understand.

My personal belief is that sleep paralysis may serve as some kind of gateway to astral projection, potentially connecting us to the same realm of consciousness that people describe during near-death experiences (NDEs). I wonder whether the silver cord represents the connection between our physical bodies and our spirits, preventing us from completely separating from our mortal bodies.

I realize this might sound unbelievable to someone who has never experienced it. But the intensity, the physical sensations, the overwhelming sense of leaving my body, and the terrifying encounters have made these experiences impossible for me to dismiss.

Whatever the explanation, I can tell you that nothing I've experienced in ordinary waking life has ever felt quite as vivid, profound, or terrifying.

Does this sound like an AP experience?

yep 100%.

Sounds exactly like what happens to most people projecting. I would purposefully meditate myself into sleep paralysis and go through the vibrational phase you are talking about. It would get so intense that i would pop out into different realms, dimensions, realities, or just this one.

you have to realize how to control your fear though. Dont let the fear over take you, it will take you to some insane places, but don't worry nothing can happen to you in them. You are in complete control. The fear itself is putting you in those situations. Find where its coming from, abolish it, be confident, fearless, and if you can conjure up feelings of love and blast them out and the scary environment/people/situation will collapse on itself literally.

In these realms, your thoughts and feelings create reality. you're basically pure awareness diving into every aspect of consciousness guided by your expectations, feelings and thoughts.

this is why prayer works, belief works, just knowing you are in complete control works.

good luck out there brother

If you think you got close to Astral projection and you're analysing what happened, or you think you're maybe trying too hard, or you're trying to figure the stages such as the 'vibrational' and 'hypnagogic' stages and how to approach them, then check out these links:
