Had a couple of obe but can't reply them voluntarily

I started to become interested in the topic months ago, reading a few books and doing some research. After many attempts, I managed to have OBEs and more lucid dreams, but then everyday life and its distractions made me put all that on the back burner. My interest, however, has never waned, and I would like to be able to achieve astral travel whenever I desire, because I feel I need it to grow in every aspect of my life and to broaden my knowledge of life and the other forms of life that influence us and maybe to reach God. I don't know anyone more expert than me with whom I can discuss and exchange messages, so I decided to join this forum to find some souls willing to help me. Thank you.
