It does make me self reflect as well......
Yup! Even the self-cursing... I've gone over in other threads... about communicating with your inner/lowself. Though according to the writer of this article, I'd probably still be considered an amatuer... should still probably ground my flights. Astral polution, you know.
Though.... how does one move beyond being an amatuer? Or does it seem to have the flavor of someone basically telling everyone out there to knock it off, there are enough professionals, so get out of our domain..... ?

AG,
I've found personally that if you indulge in too many OOBE's you just get stretched kind of thin, and it seems to me that you can't protect yourself adequately is that happens. I used to visit a particular friend of mine quite often astrally, just because I could contact her later and confirm what happened and thereby hone what I was doing. The last time I did this, something really nasty followed me back and I haven't done it since, not really out of fear, but at that point I was doing it a couple of times a week and was skipping through various portions and I was absolutely knackered afterwards.
Maybe if you just prepared and did very short flights for awhile? Just a thought.

It's true you can curse yourself and you can create thought forms without really wanting to but it requires a high intensity of emotion to have an effect. There is a lot of rubbish floating around on the astral from covens and magical practitioners who create thought forms or do spells and then don't get rid of the bits, leave thought forms roaming aimlessly and so on. If you can get a mass of people to hate another mass of people you will get a result like in the cold war when the west and the Soviets did it but the world got over it. The astral effect was canceled by just a few nice thoughts canceling out the negative, and that is all you have to do. If someone upsets you and you send negative thoughts once you calm down send some nice thoughts and it will cancel what went on before. Forgive yourself your weaknesses no one is perfect, it's OK to send yourself some nice thoughts. Everyone whatever they tell you is an amateur when dealing with these things. If someone really wants to attack you they will and you have to deal with it but mostly nice thoughts will cancel the negative. I hope that makes sense B

I also think that with Astral Travel we are all amatuers. I think we all need to remember that whenever we do this, we are leaving behind something. We can't help it. I think the point of the article is not to tell us that we are all amatures, but to realize that there are consequences for doing so. I think it is more aimed at the young people and "new ager fluffy bunnies" (for lack of a better term) who play with this and don't think about what they are doing. I also agree with Elle, AG, that you want to make sure that you are not spreading yourself too thin. The more energy you use up, the more you don't have to protect yourself. I hope that makes some sort of sense.

Thin dragons are really bad. Hard to be scared of a thin dragon. We could punch holes in you. That's bad. Then you would look 2D rather than 3D with holes. That would be funny tho!
