LoneCrow, I understand the exasperation you must feel and like all of us who have obe's want to help as much as possible. I am no expert at all and although I remember periods of sleep paralysis as a child and some other odd things it was only after a nde that loosened my etheric body that I was able to project.( not recommended method) . Like Beekeeper mentioned, do you Lucid dream, because that is an easy way to at least get you out there. Maybe also try going as deep into trance as you can with the plan not to project, just to experience different sensations.Maybe the lack of pressure may help.I know I have said it before but I strongly feel the lunar cycle will be key, and although it is really hard work, mind training and the ability to be able to be blank is so important. Well for me anyway.
