Dear David Mustardseed,

We can only answer questions as "correctly" as our experiences and beliefs allow. This applies to everyone. So there is no absolutely correct answer. Best just to test out what others say and if it does not fit with your experiences then place it to one side and take only what is good and fits. Ego does compound things but we all suffer from ego and from times when our ego is too great...until life sends us for a loop and reminds us we are human.

I am someone who phases. Phasing from what I have experienced is when you project a portion of your mental body. Phasing in real time can give one the ability to read minds. In the astral it enables you to communicate clairaudiently with other beings. A mental projection is very different from a full astral projection. Some might feel it is superior because you do not project your full senses in phasing - depends on definition used for phasing though. Mental projection of phasing generally avoids the complications of having astral sight and senses which could cause emotional reactions which could muttle the experience. However, we mentally muttle communications as we pass them through our personal filters, beliefs and opinions.

The next level is orbing which is a mini projection (ball projection of full consciousness, astral sight, astral hearing, smell etc.) You may see in black and white or full color. It is very similar to clairvoyance only you as a ball can move around the location and observe etc. Again like in phasing you still feel your body and have full awareness of what is going on with your projected orb. It is like sending out a probe that you can see through etc.

Then there is full scale astral projection where you project a very large amount of energy and consciousness into your projected double. I am not certain why the download problems are so great with this form of projection. It could be just the shear amount of energy and consciousness projected. But it is different then phasing and orbing (clairvoyance) where the information is steadily downloaded and the conscious mind is fully aware of the projected experience and able to monitor it through out the full projection.

As for negative entities....well some are just thought forms and aspects of our own negative aspects...so there is some truth in that some of it can be created. Also if we get overly emotional during projection it can create problems. So I do understand some peoples opinions on this stuff. However, as people gain experience working to heal possession cases etc. there becomes a new level of experience and awareness that negs do exist.

Take Good Care.

Deepest Respects,
