Astral Projection

Have any of you ever Astral Projected?

Are you one of the skeptics?

Any stories?

Share all

I'm right about to Astral Project. I'm at the last state.

Re: Astral Projection

While I cannot say I have done that, there is this feeling I get (not necessarily when I look to the west) when Im making/performing music and instead of my existence being defined by all the normal things that existence is defined by, I become music. Its weird, and beautiful and it cleanses my soul. When Im alone its tremendously satisfying and really makes me feel like my individualized self is doing something right, but when I do it in performances people stand up and notice. Its like for that moment, no matter how much it hurts and how much my body shakes afterward, I have transcended all the pettiness that humanity peddles like Fools Gold, but its worth it. it is so very very worth it.

Re: Astral Projection

I don't buy it. Just show me non-anecdotal evidence is all I have to say. But it's a free country and a free Internet so you can believe what you want.

Yeah, it's interesting how much music can affect your emotions. I remember listening to E.S. Posthumus used to feel like that.

Is that the "my god, it's full of stars" stage?

On second thought, just lay off the peyote and get back to building robots.

Re: Astral Projection

I have no clue, I just know it was referenced in Psychonauts.

Re: Astral Projection

I myself could be considered almost an expert at such topics. I actively use such techniques in my everyday life. I have expanded on what I have learned and made an extensive amount of progress on the topic. I could expand, but it might be considered off topic. Should I start a new thread on just spiritual techniques and begin explaining there?
