Astral Projection: Just a Mind Trip?

 The idea that humans can leave their bodies during dream states is ancient. Countless people, from New Agers to shamans around the world, believe that it is possible to commune with cosmic intelligence through visions and vivid dreams experienced during astral projection, also known as out-of-body experiences. Surveys suggest that between 8 and 20 percent of people claim to have had something like an out-of-body experience at some point in their lives — a sensation of the consciousness, spirit, or "astral body" leaving the physical body. While most experiences occur during sleep or under hypnosis, some people claim to do it while merely relaxing.

It may be a profound experience, but the fundamental problem is that there's really no way to scientifically measure whether or not a person's spirit "leaves" or "enters" the body. The simplest and best explanation for out-of-body experiences is that the person is merely fantasizing and dreaming. Because there is no scientific evidence that consciousness can exist outside of the brain, astral projection is rejected by scientists.

Why hasn't astral projection been proven scientifically? Some claim it's because mainstream scientists are closed-minded and refuse to even look at evidence that doesn't fit their narrow worldview. However, in science those who disprove dominant theories are rewarded, not punished. Proving the existence of psychic powers, astral projection or alternative dimensions would earn the dissenting scientists a place in the history books, if not a Nobel Prize.....read more>>>...

Astral Projection: An Intentional Out-of-body Experience

 Astral projection is like taking a vacation without even leaving your home. All you have to do is, well, leave your body. Unlike the sort of out-of-body experience some people report when near-death, astral projection is an intentional out-of-body experience.

"An out-of-body experience (OBE) is a transient experience some people have, while conscious, that their self seems to becomes separated from their body, floats above the body and looks back down at that body from an elevated location. Astral projection (AP) is an intentional OBE that usually involves the experience that the self can seem to travel far from their body – even to other countries or planets."

Western esotericism commonly uses the term astral projection to describe a purposeful OBE. In short, it's a way of describing the human consciousness or soul – or "astral body" — temporarily leaving the physical body. Unanchored from its mortal flesh and blood, the astral body can supposedly do all sorts of miraculous things.

"Astral projection is when the consciousness of a human is projected outside of his body into what we call the astral world. Astral projection happens when the consciousness is sent to the astral form of this world (i.e. the astral representation of Katipunan, Manila, San Francisco, etc.) It usually has many, if not most similarities, with its real-world counterparts."

In other words, if you can harness the power of this phenomenon, you could potentially travel anywhere your imagination desires...<<<Read More>>>...

The Startling Truth About Astral Projection

 Interestingly, the core experience of astral projection, out of body experiences, sleep paralysis and wake induced lucid dreams are very similar.

It begins when you are half-asleep in bed. You may feel paralyzed. You are aware of lying in bed, yet there are some funny sensations going on.

As you dissociate from your body, you begin to feel as if you're floating. Your mind shuts off awareness from your physical body. As long as you are awake, and your body falls asleep, you will naturally transfer your awareness to a more flexible replica body; a dream body.

You could describe this as a spirit or astral body. Or you could call it your lucid dream body. It's all about perspective. But I'm quite sure this is not a real body.

To carry the perception that you are still paralyzed, or somehow stuck in your body in bed, will almost certainly create a frustrating experience. It may even become scary - especially if you start to dream that evil entities or astral spirits have entered the room. This is a true mark of sleep paralysis.

One you "separate" from your body in bed, you can explore the room, pass through walls and windows and even fly out into the night. It's no wonder that this incredibly realistic experience is interpreted as a spiritual one....<<<Read More>>>....

Elves, Guides, Robots and Aliens: The Therapeutic Potential of Psychedelic Entity Encounters

[Wake Up World]: As psychedelic research continues to come of age, following decades of shunning, evidence is mounting that psychedelic drugs can have positive therapeutic effects.

As we have previously reported here on Wake Up World, psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and MDMA (ecstasy) have both recently been granted Breakthrough Status by the FDA, a designation given to drugs with clinically significant and potentially far reaching benefits. Psilocybin is heading towards phase 3 human trials as a treatment for major depressive disorder, while MDMA is close to approval as a PTSD treatment.

Specifically, the study set out to explore the types of autonomous entity encounters people have after smoking DMT. Previous studies have revealed a large volume of anecdotal evidence for such entity encounters.

In particular, the landmark work of Rick Strassman in 1990 detailed such encounters in-depth, and his book, DMT: The Spirit Molecule spoke of alien-type, unsettling encounters where participants were probed or otherwise had negative or frightening interactions with entities. The Center’s new study, however, reveals that although these types of encounter are reported, they are in a minority...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>..

A First Lady Who Described Traveling to Venus to Witness an Alien World

[Humans Are Free]: What would happen if the First Lady of the United States disclosed that she believed she traveled with extraterrestrials to Venus? It would no doubt create quite the international media sensation, right? Well, that’s exactly what happened in the case of Japanese First Lady Miyuki Hatoyama. However, did you hear about it at all?

In 2009, then 62-year-old Miyuki Hatoyama, wife of Japan’s Prime Minister-elect, Yukio Hatoyama, came under scrutiny for what she wrote in a book entitled, entitled “Very Strange Things I’ve Encountered.”

Hatoyama wrote about an experience that happened to her two decades before.

While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus,” she explains in the tome she published last year.

“It was a very beautiful place, and it was very green,” she wrote...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

Archon Attack!

I had a very weird experience and physical encounter when I was drifting off to sleep last night. I felt strange as I settled my head on my pillow. Dizzy in the head and buzzing with energy. As I closed my eyes I realised it was not my usual drift off to sleep.

I was immediately experiencing the energy spiral I know to be the pre-emptive with an astral projection. The spiralling being a sound frequency pattern that propels the consciousness to wherever it is going to go. An intense energy built in the body's brow area ...

And my consciousness began building the imagery through the mind's eye of space. Ahead of my consciousness was the long white hull of a craft travelling through space. I was towards the read of the vessel. At the very front of the vessel it looked like there was a huge explosion to the left of my observation point, but ahead of the vehicle.

I had no idea if it was weaponry that had been fired or something else. I got a sense of perhaps of a large planetary body to my left (Saturn?). Was I perhaps on a ringmaker ship?

Without warning, to my left, here on the earth plane, there was a sense of white energy movement. Some kind of being had suddenly materialised ... I was seeing it from both viewpoints. I was then JOLTED awake by being attacked by this presence. It had merely reached into my energy field and the shock of that contact woke me ....

Clearly I was somewhere that was out of bounds to use humans and a watcher had stopped me. It was the first time I have actually seen an Archon. For that was what it was. A mass of white energy not really in a form but in a vague humanoid shape. I glean this might have been the same being that attacked me during my Night Terror days in my youth; or perhaps the same one that used to grab my feet to prevent me sleeping. If it wasn't the same one ... it is of the same breed.

It's the first time one has risked me seeing it ... during an attack. I'd pondered on it all day and came to the only conclusion ... a Djinn or Archon broke invisible protocol to attack me and prevent me continuing further into my projection. I'd been somewhere VERY significant and something got very scared. Cornered animals attack when they are scared; to survive. Mmmmmmm. 

How to Create a Servitor to Do Your Bidding

John Kreiter: A Servitor is essentially a servant that you create in order to do your bidding. It is a creature created on the astral plane that performs a certain task which you require.

The general explanation of what a Servitor is, is that it is a concentrated thought form that is created to perform a certain task(s). Esoterically it is believed that thoughts can be concentrated to such a degree that these thoughts eventually become physically real. The explorer and writer Alexandra David-Néel for example wrote at great length about her encounters with thought forms in Tibet, which are called “Tulpa”, and how Tibetan monks were incredibly adept at creating these. She also writes how she was able to create one of these Tulpas herself after many months of effort and eventually this thought form became so solid that others in her expedition party were able to see it as well*.

In order to create a decently functioning Servitor, you do not need to spend months putting it together and certainly it does not need to be so powerful that others can see it.

For those that find it difficult to believe that thought-forms can be coalesced into such a power, that they can actually affect reality or be seen by other people, there is also a psychological explanation that might help. Some psychologists like to expound the theory that the human psyche can be seen of as made up of different parts; that is, what we consider to be a whole personality is actually a personality made up of a whole bunch of different sub-personalities working together. Since we seamlessly cycle from one part (sub-personality) of our whole personality to another, we do not notice that in actuality we are made of many different parts working together.

A Servitor then is sort of like a part that you are creating through the use of a ritual act. You either create a whole new sub-personality or you round up a few of these sub-personalities in order to manifest a new one that is well-suited to a particular purpose....Read More>>>...

Astral Projection (And how to do it)

A discussion on Astral Projection,, what it is and how to undertake a successful astral projection

The Journey To Another World?

The sub-conscious is capable of a great many things. It is an incredible library of knowledge; of stimuli and of memories. It is often the creator of the back cloth of dream scenarios. Most of these scenarios contain obvious symbolism, which is a great giveaway that it is a sub-conscious generated landscape, and is attempts to put into a 5-sensory language what is is trying to say with its symbols.

When a 'dream' is experienced where there is 'waking day mind chatter' and no giveaway sub-conscious generated language, it is, in our opinion, something more than a dream. Because there are multiple dimensions, and the ability of our infinite awareness to visit ANYWHERE in existence, a so called dream scenario that has been conjured by pre-planned dream control, is more than likely not a dream, but is instead an dimensional journey.

One such journey took place during the early hours last night. The sequence involved a journey on a form of ultra high speed underground transport to an underground city. There was waking day chatter at the destination. There was also a sequence of intense boredom, being confined to a room within a dwelling and not being able to go anywhere. The sequence entailed shouting 'I hate this planet' during this part of the experience. There was then the opportunity to venture outside onto the surface of this planet. Clearly NOT Earth but another planet. The detail of the scenery on the surface of this world was incredible. The awe at being on a different world was intense during the walk around.

The sequence involved getting lost in the ruins of a city with many canals and waterways. There was a heavy smog in the air. An inhabitant was somehow communicated with via a piece of fabric with strange writings in an unknown language on it. The inhabitant explained they knew where the necessary destination was, that they knew who was the owner of the premises and pointed in a direction to the right that led the journey across a wharf with misty waterways on either side.

At some point further on, there was evidence of a city being rebuilt after some major destruction. A stone mason was at work nearby, with what appeared to be sandstone being crafted into some kind of ornate pillars.

The sequence faded upon waking back on the Earth plane with the 'dream sequence' in the conscious mind very much like a 'recent experience' you'd recall during the waking hours.

The details and nature of the sequence was not a typical dream sequence. It was too real and precise. The memories the sub-conscious had drawn upon to create the sequence suggests an actual other world reality that is in the collective memory banks somewhere. Or else it was an actual journey made by a formless consciousness into another form on another world.

Astral Projection

Reality is created by thought projection (consciousness) into the physical gird. There are 5 subtle bodies In astral projection the conscious mind leaves the physical body and moves into the astral body to experience. 

In astral projection you remain attached to your physical body by a 'silver umbilical type cord'. Some people are able to see the cord when astral projecting. To astral project, as with all out-of-body experiences, one must feel totally relaxed, clothing fitting comfortable, reclining is best. Often a comforter is best over the body as the physical body sometimes gets cold when you travel out. 

When you astral project you are consciously aware of things you encounter while out of your physical body. Some people can astral project naturally. Others are afraid to remove their consciousness from the physical body and never learn to astral project. Astral projection (or astral travel) is an out-of-body experience achieved either awake or via lucid dreaming or deep meditation. 

People who say they experience astral projection often say that their spirit or astral body has left their physical body and moves in another dimension known as the spirit world or astral plane. The concept of astral projection has been around and practiced for thousands of years, dating back to ancient China. It is currently often associated with the New Age movement...read more>>>...

A Word on 'The Astral Plane'

The word astral on its own means relating to, resembling or emanating from the stars. The astral plane however can be likened to the Akasha, namely a place where all the thoughts, memories, fantasies and dreams of everyone in the world exist. The astral plane is thought to be a fantastic place to travel in, with many different travelers, entities and levels to it. It is said to operate at a much higher frequency than the physical plane we inhabit.

It is thought that the etheric body, spirit or mind can travel on the astral plane which is said to appear more solid than the physical plane we all inhabit, this is because in order to travel it the etheric body has to be existing and operating at the same higher frequency. The astral plane is believed to be far more mutable than the physical and is said to be changed and altered simply by the power of thought.

Soul and afterlife do exist, say scientists

Learning Mind: The age-old question of humanity: is there life after death seems to be answered. And the answer is yes. Scientists seem to have found the proof to the theory that every human has a soul, which remains alive even after the heart stops. One of the authors of the study anesthesiologist Stuart Hamer off disclosed details of the discovery in a TV show in one of the science channels. According to the report, human soul is something more fundamental than just neurons. “I think that consciousness has always existed in the universe, perhaps, from the time of the Big Bang“, said the professor. According to him, when the heart stops, the information stored in the brain cells does not die, but continues “leaking in the universe”. This explains the fact that people who have experienced clinical death often speak of “white light” or “tunnel”, which they claim to have seen...read more>>>...

'Proof of Heaven' documents existence of afterlife, multiverse, intelligent life beyond Earth, multidimensional realities

Natural News: There's a secret that's much bigger than politics, health freedom, science or even the entire history of the human race. That secret remains entirely unacknowledged -- even condemned -- by the scientific community, and yet it is the single most important secret about everything that is. Yes, everything.
That secret is simply this: We all survive the physical death of our bodies. Our consciousness lives on, and upon our death in this Earthly dream, our consciousness transcends this physical reality and experiences an existence so amazing and powerful that the human language cannot even begin to describe it...read more>>>..

A Word on 'Astral Travel'

Psychic Revelation: 'What is astral travel or as it is sometimes called - astral projection? The word astral comes from the Latin word astrum (star) and its use indicates that we are using our "star" bodies to travel through time and space. The idea that every human being has an astral body which is capable of separation from the physical body is a very old one and is well documented in Hindu and Tibetan Buddhism teachings. Even the Catholic church acknowledges a technique called bilocation and there are many accounts of saints having used this technique to apparently be seen in two places at once. There are basically three types of astral travel:...read more>>>...

Do you know what happens to the real you when your body dies?

Your soul / astral body comes out of your body when you die. In very simple terms the soul leaves the body upon death. There is no longer any reason to remain in the body. We usually don't realize it but we often leave our body and travel while the body rests in a 'sleep stage' while we are asleep. Leaving our body is much like that. The lack of memory of our dreams prohibits the majority of people from recalling the experience(s) of leaving the body. When the memory is accessed of the 'soul travel' experience it is often referred to as a vivid recall of a dream, or associated with a feeling of being elsewhere to a point where it seemed so real. In addition, it happens while the body rests in the REM stage or in mediation.

Our soul's can easily walk out of our body at free will when we die, and at other times that we often don't recall; like with the dreaming mind stage. For example, people say stuff like, "I don't dream" when it is that they are just not remembering what occurred in the REM stage or while they left their body that night. The mind can be trained to astral projection at will. It is referred to as: out of body experience, astral travelling, or soul travel....READ MORE...

Understandability & Memory Download Problems

The mind boggles at the potential complexities of interdimensional subtle-body relationships and energetic conflicts created during OBE; most especially during wake-induced OBE. Consider the memory compatibility problems that could arise between different levels of consciousness, and the differences in levels of understandability between these; and of how thought and memory sharing between these might work. And lets not forget basic reintegration problems and the fickle nature of the eventual shadow memory download into the only permanent storage medium all subtle bodies share, stretched between all aspects of the mind-split: the old gray matter of the humble physical brain. Everything experienced during an OBE must eventually be downloaded into the physical brain in base-level understandability format, if it is to generate any kind of recallable and enduring memory at all that might be accessible to the awake conscious mind.

If you examine any number of OBE case histories, or have experienced them yourself, you will find that every projection starts fresh, right from the very beginning, just as if it were the very first OBE. There are no continuing memories of having any kind of astral otter type of life available to any projector, ever, even if they suddenly shift into an astral projection that has apparently been going on for some time. In this case, the first part of the astral projection (all that had happened up to the moment when the projector became conscious in his/her astral body) is effectively wiped and is unrecallable. The projector will remember other successful projections they have had in the past, sure, but absolutely nothing of all their OBE failures, or of all the nights when they just fell asleep...read more...
