What do you think of astral projection?As for me i believe both God and the devil have the power to give you the ability of astral projection.I believe if you self-induce astral projection it is from the devil.:(But i also believe God can get you out of body(through astral projection) while you sleep if you pray for it long enough.:)

I think that if you believe in something like astral projection enough, whatever you hear about it which convinces you of it's possibility, the subconscious mind can emulate extence external to the body.

I know there is a lot of circumstantial support for the idea. I've experienced what I thought was "astral" travel. However I suspect it is more like having a dream than a reality. Subconsciously, your mind creates an entire reality for you to experience when you dream. I think there are times it can do the same while you are awake.

Like in a dream, it'd be difficult for a person to consciously tell the difference between what is real and something cooked up for you by your subconscious mind.

Hey, I'd like to prove otherwise but haven't been able to, haven't figured out how to yet.

Hmm of the devil? I dont know. That doesnt quite add up, to my understanding of that.

That means the devil is super powerful, sounds a bit strange

Difficult to say. Easy way to go down the path to the occult, in my understanding.

So your saying self induced projection is from the devil?Cool!:)That is what i think too.But not everyone thinks that.:(

'Satanism' can start with the occult. Seems fine, then you are at some point signing that "contract", with you know who. My advice...

Its more that it tends to be occult associated.

Alot of things are, like certain music, etc.

Yes good point!:)Satan controls a lot of different things in the occult.And contracts are one of them.And some music does have backmasked messages from satan nowadays:(

I believe in astral projection. Did it years ago but I think as we get older, the less we trust our bodies to do things. We have a lot of skepticism in our bodies (not all) so... I don't do it now. I wouldn't know where to start.

I think its the result of putting your body into a suggestive state and inputting the right information. I mean, if our minds can come up with whole worlds in our dreams, then why can't people who are conscious do the same? I think it can be explained psychologically before being explained spiritually.

I've never done it but it sounds pretty awesome... But what if you got lost,or couldn't get back into your body?

Basically I think it's not a good idea. The real work is here in the physical.

I've had an out of body experience, which happened to me when I was 13 years old. It happened immediately after I had a fainting spell from hyperventilating and holding my breath in such a way that I'd forced myself to pass out. When I woke up from this fainting spell, I was floating outside and above my body. While I was floating outside and above my body, everything in the room started spinning around me and then became brightly illuminated with a blinding white light which blinded me until I descended back into my body.

I follow Swedenborgianism, whose founder Emanuel Swedenborg had very many out of body experiences and contact with the spiritual realm.

Why do you believe these things?
Links?
Individual experience:
S. Muldoon & H. Carrington. The case for astral projection. London, 1936.

An experimental approach:
K. Osis. "Kinetic effects at ostensible location of an out-of-the-body projection during perceptual testing" Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research 74:3 (1980)

and lots more if you look for it.
