foreign this is the astral Dimensions podcast


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


linked in the description and also check out my other podcast called astral


encounters which is on the Paranormal UK Radio Network


I'll talk to you next time
