hello everyone I'm your host Vince and in this episode of Astral Dimensions I'm
going to talk about the first type of entity that I encountered during an out
of Body Experience and how these encounters progressed and
evolved over time and what I discovered about the nature of these experiences and these entities
so these encounters happen from the very beginning I believe it was my second astral
projection that I ever had back when I was 14. so I did the technique that I
used back then to project from my body and I started to float upwards
and during this technique your eyes are closed so all you can see is Darkness
but after you shift out of your body you begin to see the astral Dimension
essentially you shift from physical body sense perceptions to astral body sense
perceptions so these astral sense perceptions become activated as you
leave your body and so the astral environment around me manifested in my vision as I floated out
of my body and what I saw horrified me there was a huge dark figure standing
next to my bed it was just standing there towering over me it was facing directly at me it had a
humanoid shape and it was tall probably seven feet tall
and it didn't have a well-defined shape but it seemed a little wispy almost
fluid or Smoky around the edges of its body
and I panicked and I snapped right back into my body because what happens is when you're out
of body and you experience a sudden state of fear it triggers an immediate
re-entry into your body it's almost like a kind of protection mechanism
and it's come in handy over the years because I found myself in situations
many times in which it was essential that I aborted the projection
immediately and so I was back in my body but I didn't fully integrate with my
physical body and it was very easy for me to float back out
so I floated up again and as the room came into my vision that huge Shadow
being was still standing there like it had it moved and it started to reach for me
it moved its arm out towards me and I freaked out and snapped right back into
my body again so that was my very first encounter with
these entities that I call Shadow beings and it certainly wasn't the last in fact
these encounters became more and more frequent I would leave my body and these shadow
beings would be lurking over me as if they were waiting for me like they knew
when I was going to leave my body and they were ready for me so back in those
days I was having at least three out of body experiences every week
and these shadow beings would show up at least once a week and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't
recognize a pattern you know I did everything the same way I
used the same astral projection technique I try to remain as emotionally neutral
or even as optimistic as possible and sometimes they would be there
waiting for me and sometimes they were nowhere to be found now they were never usually that
aggressive a lot of times they'd just be standing there and in the beginning that
would be enough to scare me back into my body but sometimes they would actually
come towards me like they wanted to grab me but I realized they never actually hurt
me and I was tired of running and I was tired of being scared so one day I
decided to try something different I projected from my body and there were
two large Shadow beings standing next to my bed and I controlled my fear as much as I
could and they were just standing facing me they didn't have any eyes or really any
features at all just large dark humanoid figures
but even though they didn't have eyes I could tell they were looking at me because I flew over to the other side of
my bed and they turned their bodies to face me like they were following my
movement so I left the room and these shadow beings just stayed there they didn't
follow me and I went on to have a pretty cool out of body experience unmolested
by these shadow beings I simply flew past them and continued my
journey and so I started to realize that if I just continued on my way and ignored
them there was no issue but I discovered that this actually
wasn't always the case now before I get deeper into that I want
to mention that these shadow beings have another name they're sometimes referred
to as dwellers on the threshold and the threshold refers to the
dimensional level just beyond the physical Dimension the very lowest
astral dimension in the spectrum of non-physical reality
this threshold Dimension is almost an astral duplicate of the physical world
and it's typically the First Dimension that you project into as a beginner when
you first start having out-of-body experiences and this threshold Dimension is so close
to the physical Dimension that sometimes it seems that there can be bleed
throughs and this can explain why people have claimed to see Shadow beings in the
physical world now it's a fact that these shadow beings exist in the astral
dimension countless experiences and encounters have proven this
and the fact that this threshold Dimension is situated so closely to the
physical frequency of reality would explain how some people can see these
entities in the physical world like a momentary overlapping of these two
dimensions and this can also explain how it's possible to actually affect the
physical world from the astral Dimension while out of body it's this threshold
dimension in which this effect is possible so back to the story
I said these shadow beings were never really overly aggressive but I did have
some experiences in which this wasn't the case
the first one I can remember was probably a few months after I started
having out-of-body experiences so I floated out of my body and there
was a huge Shadow being standing in the corner of my room and I was on the
Second Story of my house so I flew down through the floor to the first story
only I was no longer in my house when I passed through the floor I found
myself in a completely different place this place was dark and it looked like
an old abandoned building the walls were broken up and the floorboards were
ripped up and it was like there was this murky gloomy Mist everywhere and there
was this deep feeling of dread that just emanated from this place
and I had this this strong nervous feeling Within Me so I was flying through this long
hallway and I couldn't see too far ahead because of this mist
I could probably only see about 10 feet ahead of me and suddenly I see something approaching
me in the distance and as it gets closer I start to see it
more clearly and I realize it's a shadow being that was in my room when I first left my body
and it was coming right at me so I turned around and I flew as fast as
I could but I felt heavy my energy body was heavy and it was hard to move freely
so I'm struggling to get away from this thing and I could feel it right behind me like
I could sense its energy it felt like this tingly energy at the
back of my neck and it started to expand down my back and I could sense that this
Shadow being was right behind me so I did the first thing that came to mind I
turned and flew through the wall and on the other side of this wall was
just darkness like there was nothing so I looked at my hands to try to give
myself a boost of Lucidity to strengthen my awareness and this is a technique that you can use
to enhance your perceptions while out of body so I did this but nothing happened and I
realized that my awareness was already strong it was crystal clear I could see
my hands with Clarity but there was nothing around me just darkness
and the very next moment I felt the energy on my neck again and I turned
around and the shadow being was right in front of me and this thing was massive
like bigger than they usually are I would say it was probably 10 feet tall
and I could see it in the darkness because this entity was actually darker
than the darkness of the environment it was like this Shadow being was this
vibrant shade of black that just popped from the normal Darkness around me it
was almost like a three-dimensional blackness and suddenly this Shadow being reached
out and grabbed my neck and I felt it wrap completely around my neck
not like a hand but like a large tentacle or something
and suddenly I exploded with this energy that was just debilitating it was like I
was being electrocuted and I couldn't move I was trying to break free and
escape and fly away but I couldn't and until that moment I was always able
to re-enter my body in a situation where I was afraid but it was like I was stuck
like I was being held there by this energy and it wasn't letting me go
it was just this incredibly strong energy pulsing into me from my neck all
throughout my energy body and this energy was so strong that it
was almost painful it was deeply uncomfortable
it was just too intense and I couldn't handle it and I experienced this fear
like I never felt before and at that moment I gained this dual
awareness and I became aware of my body back in bed
so it was like my Consciousness was split between my astral body and my
physical body and I experienced both simultaneously
and the energy that was coming from this Shadow being was actually affecting my
physical body it was coursing through both bodies through my astral body and into my
physical body and this energy reached its peak and at that moment I was shot back into
my body and I sat up and my physical body was
literally still buzzing with this energy oh
hey everyone this is just a quick Interruption of the show to remind you that if you ever need advice on your own
astral projection or lucid dreaming practice feel free to reach out to me
you can find me on all social media sites like Facebook and Instagram username Vincent field author now back
to the show and it was a new type of experience for
me because until that point I had never actually been affected in any tangible
Way by these shadow beings so during this out of body experience
this entity grabbed my neck and shocked me with this immensely powerful energy
that seemed to explode throughout my astral body and actually temporarily prevented me
from re-entering my physical body and typically what would happen is that I
would instantly snap back into my body if something triggered a heightened
state of fear or if I perceived a threat while out of my body
but this time I was stuck in the clutches of this Shadow being
now realistically I was probably in that energetic state for only 10 seconds or
so although in the moment it seemed like a lot longer and when I finally went back into my
physical body it was actually vibrating with the same energy that I had experienced during the
astral projection and it took several minutes before it dissipated
so now there were some pressing questions on my mind
who or what exactly were these shadow beings what actually happened during
that experience what was the energy that took over me
and why did the shadow being do that to me I wanted to find the answers to these
questions but I was also afraid of these shadow beings more than ever
and it seemed like that event did something to me energetically
because I stopped encountering these shadow beings after that
like I mentioned last episode These entities are typically found in the
lower astral dimensions and what happened at that point is that
I started to project beyond the lower Dimensions naturally like I started to
completely bypass them and directly project into Dimensions higher than them
and I came to the conclusion that the shadow being caused an increase in a
heightening of my energy in a way that actually strengthened and developed my
astral body because you project into whatever astral
level your own energy body and Consciousness resonate with so a higher
energetic state of one's Consciousness and astral body will allow you to
project into a higher dimension of the same frequency so if this was true and this Shadow
being actually helped raise my energy then this went against my previous
conception of these entities which was that they were negative or malicious or
mischievous at best I mean why would it do something that was actually
beneficial to me in my Spiritual Development well maybe these shadow beings weren't
what I thought they were and so I basically stopped encountering
them after this for a while at least and then something happened during an
out-of-body experience which confirmed my ideas about what happened during my
last encounter with the shadow being that affected my energy so this one time I started to project
from my body and I immediately felt the presence of several beings around me
and a few moments later I was fully out of my body surrounded by darkness and
there were three huge Shadow beings standing in front of me and it was just
like the last encounter I was in total darkness but these
entities were even darker than the darkness around us like they were made of this
three-dimensional Blackness that popped from the darkness around them
and I initially reacted with fear because I didn't know the intentions of
these beings and my previous experience with them was downright terrifying
but that was years before and at this point I was a little more experienced
and so I centered myself and calmed myself down and I remembered that even
though my last experience with these entities was frightening I wasn't harmed and in fact it actually
seemed to have a positive effect so I'm standing before these three big
dark humanoid figures and suddenly one of them begins to approach me and it
doesn't walk but it slowly Glides forward so now it's just a few feet in
front of me and it reaches its arm out and puts its
hand on my arm grabbing just under my shoulder and at the moment of contact I
experienced an explosion of energy that shot through my entire body
passing through and stimulating all of my chakras and this energy is pulsing through all
of these different pathways through my energy body like these energetic
Pathways almost like veins running through my astral body
and unlike the last time this happened this energy wasn't too intense and
uncomfortable but it actually felt really good almost blissful
and as the energy coursed through my body the shadow beings vanished and I
found myself in another dimension so the energy eventually subsided and I
started exploring this astral Dimension that I was in but I wanted to experience more of that
incredible energy that the shadow being affected me with so I focus my awareness inward with the
intention of reactivating this energy within my energy body and suddenly my
navel chakra exploded with an unimaginably powerful force that
instantly spread throughout every energy pathway in my astral body and penetrated
the very core of my being it felt like I was exploding with bliss
even stronger than before so after several moments in this state I
had to pull my focus away from the energy because it was becoming too
strong and too intense and it was starting to get uncomfortable
so I focused my Awareness on a location in the distance and the energy
dissipated and I continued to explore the environment of the astral Dimension
that I was in and I realized that I was now in an even
higher Dimension than I was before everything was more vibrant and
beautiful and my Consciousness was heightened and even more Lucid than
before and I noticed when I looked at my surroundings that everything was
imprinted with these intricate geometric fractal patterns that were spinning and
transforming and I noticed that my energy body was still extremely sensitive from the
energy activation that I had just undergone just one moment of focusing my awareness
inward into my energy body and again I exploded with this intense ecstasy and
my chakras were pulsing with energy and again it soon became too much for me
to handle and again I had to divert my attention away from my astral body to
allow the energy to die down so after exploring the astral Dimension
a little more I went back to my body and just like the last time my physical
body was buzzing with the energy that I'd experienced during the astral
projection and since then I've had the ability to draw upon this energy while out of my
body simply by focusing Inward and bringing my awareness into my energy
body with the intention of activating my energy and I instantly explode with this
Blissful energy and with time I learned to hold on to that state of bliss for
longer and longer and sometimes I leave my body and
activate my energy and just meditate in that state of bliss
and it's more powerful and more transformational than any meditation you
could do while grounded in the physical body because when you're out of body you
can access a connection with higher aspects of your own consciousness
you can access your higher self which is an aspect of our consciousness
which transcends our current understanding and experience of Who We
Are and from the higher self flows knowledge and insight and Truth
and this connection can provide incredible realizations about the nature
of the self and the nature of reality and so through these states of blissful
energy meditation I access the Insight that these shadow beings didn't affect
me with this energy but they were actually activating my own
energy it was like they were unlocking these higher energetic States Within Me
and causing these bursts of development that otherwise would require a great
deal of meditation and energy work and practice
so these entities induced a heightened energetic state within my astral body
which led to the development of my energy body and my Consciousness in a
way that allowed me to project into higher Dimensions naturally
and with that my conception of these entities changed
and I realized that they were actually trying to help me but there was never really any
communication between them and me and I became dissatisfied that I didn't
have a deeper level of understanding regarding the nature of these shadow
beings so I added a new goal to my astral
projection things to do list which is essentially a list of goals
that I have for my out of body experiences and eventually the time came to focus on
this task of communicating with these shadow beings
so I woke up early one morning with this goal in mind and I shifted from my body
and I began sinking inward almost like I was falling but I wasn't going down but
I was falling Within Myself and this is generally a sign that I'm
traversing into an astral Dimension much farther removed from the physical
Dimension than if I experience more of a standard directional feeling of movement
like floating up or rolling to the side
so this feeling ends and I'm holding on to my intention of meeting and
communicating with a shadow being and in the next moment the environment
comes into my awareness and with that a feeling of excitement
and joy builds up within me as I begin to see you where I am
and the energy of this Dimension is just flowing into me and through me
and it was such an abstract type of environment it's really hard to put into
words but it seemed like there were these huge mountains made of pure energy
and this energy was bubbling up and flowing from the
tops of these mountains and swirling up into the sky
and these mountains lined the backdrop of this landscape that I was perceiving
like they were really far off in the distance and closer to me were these huge
structures almost like buildings and they seem to be made of this
metallic substance but there was this liquid quality to it
almost like the surface was Rippling like throwing a pebble into a pond
and the colors were changing with each Ripple and there were these things that almost
reminded me of trees but they were Pure Energy they had a long base like a tree trunk
and something similar to branches and it was like the mountains in that the
energy from these branches was just flowing up into the air
and the sky was filled with something that I could best describe as
multi-dimensional clouds and I looked at these clouds and I
received the intuition that if I flew into one of these clouds
it would take me to another dimension and each Cloud was a different color and
formation and somehow those characteristics represented the
particular Dimension that they led to and I noticed one of these clouds was
black and not just normal black but it was like the three-dimensional Blackness
that the shadow beings have looked like during some of my encounters with them
and I immediately knew that this Cloud would take me to the shadow beings
it was like an intuitive knowing that you get while out of your body
especially in higher dimensions so I reached my Consciousness out and
shifted into this black cloud and this is a technique I've learned for
traveling while out of my body that's almost like a type of
teleportation rather than flying in a linear manner through space
so I go through the cloud and everything goes dark except I notice there is actually an
environment around me and it's the same environment I was in before
but now there's no color it's all just Shades of Black
but I can still see the mountains and the structures and somehow I was back at
ground level and there's a large dark figure coming
towards me slowly from about 50 feet away and it hit me
this is it this is my chance this is what I wanted
so I approached the shadow being and it's approaching me and now I'm face
to face with it and out of a spontaneous whim I wrapped my arms around it as if
it was a long lost friend or family member and we were reuniting after a
really long time and at that moment all of my chakras exploded and I burst with a blissful
energy that seemed to annihilate any sense I had of being a person or being
myself in that moment I was just this energy
but I didn't want to get lost in this energy because I had a task to
accomplish so I focused my attention back to the
environment around me and I back away from this Shadow being
and I notice that there were other Shadow beings standing around in the
distance like they were just observing and so I began to ask this Shadow being
questions but it wasn't like using normal language
but it was more like sending the energy or the essence that represented the
concepts of what I wanted to express because in the astral Dimension
communication is telepathic it's mind to mind
and you can experience this telepathic communication as words but what is
actually happening is not speech it's pure telepathy
and as you get into higher and higher dimensions there is less need for actual words
but you can communicate an entire sentence an entire paragraph years of
experience you can send all of that knowledge and information as pure mental
energy and so this is how that communication was taking place
and what was interesting was that after sending each question
I instantly received an answer from this entity and this communication was nearly
instantaneous like I would receive the answer before I
was even finished sending the question so what I'm going to do is share some of
the details of this communication verbally which essentially happens naturally when
recollecting the details of such experiences but remember in the moment while you're
out of your body in these higher Dimensions it's less of a verbal communication and more of a pure
knowledge pure information pure truth and the mind translates these higher
level experiences in a way that we can comprehend using physical world Concepts
which is all we really have to work with while grounded in this physical
dimension so I ask this Shadow being who are you
and it responded by Joshua now I honestly can't put into words the
name it gave me but in my recollection it sounded like
that a Jocelyn and I knew it represented the species or
the type of being that it was so it wasn't a personal name
but it was like me saying that I'm human and I asked what do you want with me
why did you appear to me during my out of body experiences why did you activate my energy
and it responded it's part of your growth process
and packaged within this answer were flashes of my past encounters with
these entities how they provoked fear Within Me
and how I learned to conquer that fear and how I was able to project into
higher Dimensions after these experiences so then I asked
why do you appear this way referring to its dark shadowy form
and it answered you see what you're able to see
other beings see us differently so I asked my next question
what did you do to me during those times that my energy was activated
and another thing that was interesting is that during my questions I was saying
you or I was thinking you in the general sense of you guys or you Shadow beings
not actually referring to that one particular entity that was in front of
me but as the group in general and as I refer to these entities as you
I received the intuition that they have a type of hive mind like their minds are
interconnected like they share a general State of Consciousness amongst
themselves like a constant telepathic link in which they share all of the
experiences of any single Shadow being it was almost like when I expressed the
word you I was informed of their shared State of Mind like I momentarily
experienced it myself and I knew that is how they existed
so I asked what exactly happened during those times when my energy was activated
and it responded we did exactly what we were supposed to
do you knew this would happen you wanted it to happen it was part of
your growth process and again it was talking about my growth
process and with that answer I received another flash of insight
almost like a download of information that higher aspects of my own
Consciousness had planned these events some of them being learning experiences
for me to better control my fears and emotions
and others being developmental springboards which allowed me to
progress my abilities and my Consciousness to higher levels in an
unusually short amount of time and it was like my higher self had been
guiding things along the whole time so that these experiences played out in a
way that allowed my own growth in the ways which my higher self knew were
necessary so there's more to this communication which I'll be sharing in my next book
which will be released later this year not to mention many other encounters and
Communications with these and other types of entities
most of which have taken place since the end of my last book in early 2019.
so until then take a look at my first book available on amazon.com which is
