I first discovered the mind split in an astral projection experience, while camping on land near a vortex in Oklahoma, I woke up inside my etheric body and experienced astral projection symptoms the one I remember most being extremely heavy vibrations, they were so strong it shook my entire being including my vision. After “staying awake” through the experience I was still inside my etheric body when I would have typically been redirected into my astral body or real time double, but as I lay inside my sleeping body completely aware, I felt a presence outside my tent beckoning me to it, at the time I was terrified it felt so foreign and like an alien abduction was about to occur so I declined its call and ended up falling back asleep.
At the time I didn’t know what to make of this extremely vivid experience until I found a book by Robert Bruce called Astral Dynamics, since college I have read a lot of astral projection books but none of them broke down the mechanics of astral projection and the experiences I have had like Astral Dynamics does.
The most comprehensive way of explaining the mind split is by explaining Roberts experience, Robert has the ability to astral project at will and used this ability to learn about the astral plane and the state of mind that comes with it. One night he was in meditation and decided to project, inside his etheric body he went through projection symptoms but remained inside his etheric body, while confused and contemplating why he didn’t move to his real time double he felt a presence near his ceiling and looked up only to watch his astral body float into his living room. As he met his own eyes he remembered his double being created leaving and floating around outside in the rain up until the current moment. This was when he learned that we exist in multiple places at one time but can only be aware of one place at one time. And with a simple decision you can transfer your awareness from one “body” to another while in that state.
We astral project as much as we dream we just don’t remember them because they become stored in the subconscious like dreams often do but some people remember a lot of their dreams and some people will remember astral projections. This is because of the mind split we must reintegrate conciously in our astral body to retain the experience.
This mind split is said to be only the first layer of many within our subconscious.
The mind split is also the cause of sleep paralysis, during sleep paralysis you wake up paralyzed inside your etheric body during or right after your astral body was created this is the reason you always feel a presence near by during sleep paralysis. Your astral body and you are connected, tethered by a cord during paralysis you are spooked and in turn so is your astral body, your perception of yourself is often something seemingly scary to you and in order to regain movement your astral body must reintegrate with you (which is often why people see a “demon” or something of the sort running at them) or you can focus on waking up your sleeping body.
Learning this knowledge provided the words to many experiences I have had and a massive understanding specifically of my astral projection while camping and the “alien” that beckoned me from the other side of the tent was actually my real time double giving me an opportunity to transfer my awareness and explore.
