>>>>>[Whoa . . . what a rush. Can someone who's magic
knowledgeable tell me what just happened to me? I was sitting in
my apartment on the ledge of my open window feeling the purity of
the open air. I was just leaning back listening to the heartbeat
of the city flowing through me and like suddenly I found myself
just floating there, but I could look down and see my body. And
just by thinking I could direct my movements in all directions.

And to top it off, everything was this surreal cromatic color,
impossible to explain, and as I moved to the street, I could feel
life being given off by those around me; people were pulsating
with the energies of existence and the lifeblood of consciousness.

Eventually, I returned to my body and opened my eyes, leaving my
dreamstate as quickly as I entered it, feeling only a little
disoriented but questioning what just happened to me.

Hey, I'm really new to this magic game and I know nothing about
it, except that Eagle is part of me. I was told I could learn to
cast spells, but that was no spell, that was existence on another
plane of reality, where the world is one of life. What is going
on?]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Congradulations Norm Conquest! What you just experienced is known
as
spontaineous astral projection. What that means is you accidentually began to
astrally project. Welcome to a whole new world. Didn't everything look more
alive? Wasn't this one of the greatest trills of your life? One more thing
Norm, don't wander too far from you body or stay astral too long. Until you get
your bearings you could easily get lost and your average (non-cybered) mage can
only survive astral space for 6 hours. ]<<<<<
