Some Context Which Might Help
Take it or leave it, I hear your story and give the information that I sense is appropriate. You have your own agency to navigate life.
There's something going on right now with eclipses and celestial alignments and such. Having spoken to a wide range of friends I have concluded that now is a good time to go on a 'journey'. For me personally I went to a 'quantum jumping' session this last weekend and things have been exceptionally other dimensional since then.
It's a lot to do with our beliefs, what we allow ourselves to do and be. A lot of people say this kind of stuff, but I'm starting to see it's true when applied in a literal way to our experience of life. We give ourselves permission to adjust the software or the 'projector' of our reality.
I think you can do this 'tripping' again, or something like it. If you want to, which I think you do. I also think you might already understand the parameters that open it up and shut it down.
Getting very 'individual' or 'personal' about the experience throws you back into a linear state which can't sustain all of the newness and unexpectedness. It goes against that 'persons' idea of what is real and is acceptable.
Examining your thoughts around this subject will reveal a lot. In reading your article I can hear you make certain statements. You know that these journeys are 'real' subjectively or experientially, but you also have some doubt or mind condition which is interrupting you. You say that you have no idea how to make it happen again, I don't quite believe you - that's coming from a place of doubt. Also you say you're scared, and that's kinda natural I guess. But I also think that some part of you if intensely interested in this, and is fearless.
So which of the pieces and parts are real? Going back to getting out of a 'personal' and fixed identity state, you will find that things are a lot more fluid. There is a version of you that is comfortable with this work, so it's more or less a matter of moving into that version and understanding that it's true. The doubtful and afraid version of you is just a copy that wants things to conform to a fixed idea of what is real, and who you are. We know that things are continually changing, so releasing into that we can accept entirely new realities.
I hope my speculation is helpful, much love and gratitude for sharing some awesome stuff :)
