Astral Projection: Experiments on Smelling

I had projected astrally in to some kind of a mansion, as I understood later. I floated in one of its rooms, and realized that everybody is getting outside. My old friend, Kazimieras, had a problem with walking so I took him on to my shoulder – he was quite a load. I decided to make him lighter with my mind. His weight had decreased immediately – I could carry him in one of my hands.

I got outside, ran around the mansion, moved through a thick bush, then walked on the edge of the fence. When I realized that fence is not going where I want I continued my walk on a thin air. I had approached three people, they were standing and talking, I could not hear a word they were saying.

I flew to one of the roof windows, there were also three people playing cards. They seemed did not notice me. Perhaps I was invisible to them. They looked quite odd, very characteristic, unusual faces. I knew Astral Plane to be very unstable, and I wanted to test it. So I remembered the look of those people and turned my head backward. Then looked back at them – they did not change. I used to do this kind of test on environment and it would change drastically.

I moved to their room straight through the window glass, they did not notice me. I was moving slowly on the floor, then through a door to a lobby. I remembered I wanted to test the sensations of smell and taste last time on the Astral Plane. As I thought about the smell sensation, I could actually smell things that were lying besides me. I found a small stone and put it near my nose, so I could smell it. Perhaps I inhaled not even with my astral nose, but with my physical nose as well, because this action almost failed my OBE – my physical body sensations started to emerge.

I concentrated on my heart chakra once more and returned to the mansion to continue my projection. This time I saw a girl sleeping in a bed and for some reason payed attention to the sounds. My hands were touching the floor and they made a squeezing noise. So my tactile, audio and visual sensations were working simultaneously. Then those three earlier mentioned people walked by, they talked, but still I could not hear a word.

I consciously reintegrated with my physical body bypassing the Real Time Zone. After I woke up I realized I do not have to inhale in order to smell things on the Astral Plane, I just have to think about them. Astral nose does not have to inhale, it works differently form the physical counterpart. Perhaps the sense of taste works in the similar fashion.
