Astral Projection: Experiences
built 207 days ago
Astral Projection for Beginners shows you how to send your consciousness, at will, to these other places, then bring it back with full knowledge of what you have experienced. Explore the misconceptions and half-truths which often impede the beginner, and create a mental atmosphere in which you become free to explore the universe both inside and outside your consciousness.

Astral Projection: An experience in which the conscious part of the self splits form the body for a period of time. The typical out-of-body experience is of short duration and comes unexpectedly. But it can be induced consciously and deliberately.

The Mystical Model includes a large variety of belief systems and astral maps, but they are tied together by their belief that astral projection takes place outside of the actual physical body. In this model, a more subtle energy body is believed to carry the consciousness outside of the physical body. In their book Projection of the Astral Body, Carrington and Muldoon detail how consciousness is transferred into a secondary "energy" body (the etheric body) to allow travel into the astral planes. This idea is ... described by other authors such as Robert Peterson in his book Out of Body Experiences: How to have them and what to expect (chapters 5, 17, 22), and Robert Bruce in his book Astral Dynamics (pages 31-33, 404-410, 538). Bruce expanded on this idea in his book Astral Dynamics, stating that higher planes of existence are reached through the progressive projection of subtler energy bodies from previous projected bodies (pages 33-42). The subtle body is attached to the physical body by means of an energetic connection which usually takes the appearance of a silver cord 'plugging' into the chakra system like an umbilical cord.

Joe Slate, a PhD psychologist, has written Astral Projection and Psychic Empowerment (Llewellyn, 1998). He articulates well the psycho-spiritual elements of the out of body experience. At times Slate seems to make the experience more complex than maybe it has to be made, and using academic-speak Slate fashions new language for old OBE concepts and appears to want to incorporate these ideas as uniquely his. The best value of his book is that among his professional colleagues, he might perform the same service for the OBE as did Moody for the Near-Death Experience. Slate might make the OBE more professionally palatable. Also, though other psychologists have analyzed the OBE, they more or less kept it at a distance because of its controversy, but Slates boldly embraces all the metaphysical/spiritual implications of the OBE, and even goes a step further by drafting therapeutic and/or adjustment strategies for psychologists to consider when working with people who announce they're having OBEs.

The template/perception through which Astral Projection is experienced can only be described as demonic even though it may not feel that way. Works of evil do not always FEEL evil. In many cases, they can seem right, because those persons who accept contact with demonic forces are deceived. Their perspective is skewed (altered & misguided), but they cannot perceive this.

PLEASE NOTE!!!: Astral projection is a conscious use of soul power empowered by forces of darkness. Out of body experiences due to trauma, accidents or near death experiences are not occult practices. Out of body experiences caused by trauma, are usually not under the person's control. Leaving the body in trauma is called dissociation. This is caused by severe stress or trauma. Dissociation occurs when a child or person is being hurt and the pain is too great to bear.
