Account 027 - Projection in the Mental Body - Colors and Perceptions in the Astral and Mental Body — YouTube from the CEC Library

On April 25, 1980, I had a mental-body projection experience. When I lay down on the right side of the bed, my body felt very heavy. Suddenly, I separated from it with the intention of leaving in my mental body. I initially left in my astral body and floated over the house where I lived, at an altitude of about eight meters. I then decided to project in my mental body. When I succeeded, I found myself at the Amazon River, a place I had visited during other projections. The river's color was different, however: the Amazon had a very light blue hue, while the Negro River had a reddish color.

As I observed the forest, I noticed that it seemed almost transparent. I saw birds, snakes, and a small jaguar walking among the trees. The forest's transparency and the outlines of the animals and trees impressed me. I also noticed a boat that should have been white but appeared an unusual blue. The boat was heading toward the Meeting of the Waters, and I marveled at the sight. My perception of colors differed from normal vision, and mental vision provided an even more distinct experience. It seemed that astral vision showed colors one way, while mental vision inverted them.

I decided to enter the water. The water of the Amazon River appeared like a white gelatin, while that of the Negro River also looked like gelatin and had a light coffee color. Impressed by the experience, I returned to my astral body and then to my physical body to take notes. Later, I intend to recount the second astral projection from that day, in which I entered the water and witnessed curious events.
