Astral Projection

[zERo~Chronic]

Recently I've been becoming intrigued by the concept of astral projection. If ya'll aren't familiar with this it is the concept that we are astral beings as well as physical beings, and that our astral self can be projected or pulled away from the body...in simple talk, its an out of body experience. I talked to someone yesterday who has experienced such an event, and have started digging into ways to make it happen to myself. What I'd like to discuss is; Has anyone experienced one of these events or what they believe could have been one and if so can you describe it? Is anyone knowledgeable on the subject that could shed some intellectual light on the phenomenon? Do ya'll even believe this is possible or is it a bunch of drug/blood-loss fueled bullshit?
Also any theories or whatever the hell debate you may have regarding this subject, I'd like to hear it. Discuss

is this in any way related to transcendental meditation, zero???

Out of body experience...like dying and coming back?

Sometimes I feel like reality is just some kind of projection into our minds. 0.o

[weedguru_animal]

a projection from where and what and why, andria?

[andriaSRH]

From where...like a higher being. Someone pulling our strings, showing us what they want us to see.

The other day I was in the passenger seat of a car, looking up at the sky, and...IDK..haha..it just seemed fake.The world seems fake.

I have no answer for "the what"...

It totally sounds crazy, but that's how I feel.

Ever smoked DMT andria?

[andriaSRH]

Haha no..but I want to.

in order to experience a different state of being...yeh, why not try DMT...but a sober mind and soul, un bedgraggled by ALL poisons, not just DMT, but also weed, and drink, and other similarly lesser poisons, achieves the purest cogitation. Nobody needs drugs to achieve an elevation of soul and heart. That is just a spastic platitutde spurned by those who have headed into such shadowlands, found other viewpoints of existence, othe dimensions of existence, and returned once again to a sober state, to tell the world. But in terms of enlightenment, my personal opinion is that drugs are never needed. Maybe the help...but I see most trees as happy, and yet they are using no drugs, other than what Nature itself, the only true goddess in my opinion, allows and affords.

DMT is natural, found in many many many plants. I believe it is a way that the Gaian oversoul is trying to communicate with us. Some cultures have used it for thousands of years for just such a purpose.

each to their own, ikku...but through my own experience, i find zero correlation with any drug and welcomed wisdom.

I read it at Coelho's book and watched it at the movie Insidious. I actually thought that it is not true since it sounds metaphysical but I have doubts about this.

I was meditating yesterday and having all kinds of revelations about life and spirituality. I had the desire to jump up and go grab my phone and share my thoughts with someone else, but when I did I felt weird, unbalanced, as if being pulled back to my seat to meditate and focus more. It was very strange.
