Hi,
I tried and tried and was REALLY into AD and projecting. I worked on it for 4 months every day and was SO enthusiastic about experiencing another world and the possibilities that there are when outside the body. I had a couple mini successes, no awake OBEs though, just from the sleep state spontaneously. I haven't meditated or worked on techniques for a couple weeks and am finding myself frustrated and seriously lacking the motivation to take time out of my schedule and work on this anymore. This makes me sad and dissapointed in myself. If anyone has any input or words of wisdom I'd love the hear 'em. I know this is something that I would love to be able to do, but currently find myself at a wall I can't climb.

Motivation is a huge factor. Some would say there is a point where you try too hard, so it makes it harder. I'm having a similar problem at the moment, I'm trying real hard, yet I'm not sure where my beliefs stand. I've projected a zillion times but can't right now. But every night I give it at least some effort. I have gone through stages like this before come to think of it. My advice would be to keep trying, but don't drive yourself crazy with the need to do it. I have found that persistence leads to results, and that applies to all aspects of life. Good luck, be positive and consistent, and never let go your awe of the mystery.
