OK so I have seen this video before but I want to clarify a few things.

Astral Projection Video - www.AstralProjectNow.com
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7seCIJJHnXE&feature=colike

Basically I want to know how accurate are some of the things in this video. I do believe in astral projection.

So the first thing we see that I question is this astral projector is flying and then finds this huge psychedelic looking creation with a lady in the middle of it that he ends up kissing. No doubt they did this to get peoples attention at the beginning of the video. But how accurate would such an experience be. What would the psychedelic creation be?

Secondly, can you really go back in time and see how the pyramids were built like that?

Lastly can the akashic records look like that?

So in the end do you think they really exaggerated the abilities of astral projection or not?

Comments would be appreciated.

Thanks.

IMO if astral projection/OBE looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's a duck. I think even if the most hardcore skeptics started having OBE's every night, then over time they would eventually come to accept astral projection/OBE's just as real and maybe even more real than everyday life here.

Thanks you guys for the replies. I thought nobody was answering since I was not getting any email updates to new replies. Anyway thanks again.

Anyone astral project regularly yet believes it's all in the mind, or use to believe that way for a long time while projecting? Obviously even everything we experience here is in the mind. So you get my point. Also can you share how long you held on to the it's all in the mind notion?

Thanks, peace.

NDE's have more awareness than your common OBE's because at the time the person doesn't have a physical focus to go back to. So the NPR becomes their entire focus! 

I think I know what you mean but what does NPR mean?

I agree todd.

todd421757 IMHO DMT and other endogenous tryptamines are best at getting one of out the body at death and into the light. At which time they are probably minimally influenced by any bodily tryptamines since they are out of body anyway and our bodies would not make as much DMT as what Strassman would use.

Peace.

Let me just make it clear here that someone taking DMT is MUCH different than any endogenous psychedelics released at death. Both can give you an OBE (Out of Body Experience) though. IMHO any psychedelics released at death would give one a much more natural experience than any DMT you can ingest or smoke here. I would also imagine that the kinds of and amounts of endogenous psychedelics released at death could guide the the person to a more natural experience through the light and then a destination than taking DMT while alive. Meaning just as our brains release natural amounts of DMT in our bodies even now, conversely at the time of death DMT and other tryptamines would be released in a natural amount as to not give hallucinations. At least not overly so. This is a general statement.

Peace.

I agree desert rat.

There seems to be some similarities between NDE's and astral projection but NDE's seem to differ. I searched to find that nobody has talked about this here. Anyway, can you all expound on the differences and similarities between the two. Here is what I think. This is just based off of my research. I have only astral projected once or twice for only a few seconds. So I am not experienced enough to truly compare the two.

Correct me if I am wrong or off on any of these things.

Similarities:
Separated from their body and in another parallel dimension.
May or may not see things going on in the physical.
Flying abilities.
Telepathic communication.
Consciousness is increased dramatically way past normal physical consciousness. Some more than others.
Senses are dramatically enhanced.
They can manifest thoughts and emotions.

Differences:
In NDE's you much more likely to go down a white tunnel and meet relatives.
In NDE's you much more likely to have a life review especially given the amount of time you are given in a NDE versus an astral projection.
See very power things, eg angels, great truths, God etc. This is not so much in astral projection considering the amount of time a projector has.
"This is just my personal opinion. In an NDE you more apt to end up in a hell realm especially if you have a really negative experience just before death. Eg shooting yourself, having a terrible accident just before death. These things can dramatize our consciousness into a hell realm at death. Though most NDE's are heavenly or neutral in nature."

In the end it could be the that when the body is close to death that it releases chemicals that can effect where the NDE'er can go and how powerful the experience is. So in the end NDE's seem to be more dramatic while astral projection seems to be more mundane in comparison. This is a general statement.

Can you all elaborate and correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks, peace.

It's not MY way, its the way it is! Why do you think we have thousands of threads on this forum related to this?
 Do you expect to learn to play a guitar with a simple button or for that fact any trade in general? It's the challenge that gives you the final fulfillment!  
 I can see that you don't share my view at all here and that's fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. This is my final words on this post.
 Thank you!  

Both views will work but my view will have the most effect and end more suffering faster.

Peace.

It's exactly this kind of thinking that makes lazy minds. People are always quick to fall back on the "dinosaur" excuse. If you don't conform to new technology, than you are old fashion and anti technology. There are some things that technology should not replace. I don't need to make excuses, I confront things head on no matter how difficult the challenge may be. I know as do many other people here that the true learning is in the entire experience. Why do you think we don't try use the Astral to win lotteries?

You are obviously missing the bigger point here. Don't you think it would be better to give astral projection to the world via transhuman technology than to say "no you must do AP my way, or you don't deserve to astral project at all."

No, I'm saying it's hard because it's supposed to be hard. It's supposed to be a rite of passage. It's supposed to be something that teaches you along the way, something that helps you navigate your own existence. With hard work and determination you can and will access it.

I think what you call challenging will just change as time goes by. We will always have challenges. Does that mean we should all just go back to the stone age in order to learn how to challenge ourselves enough. Not necessarily. We just need to be challenged in different ways.

It's what you have to go through to reach the Astral that teaches you. Meditation, Lowering your Entropy, clearing your mind, focusing outside of the physical. When you do these things you change, your whole world and persona becomes altered in positive ways. I know you are a member of the "now" generation. But some things in life aren't supposed to happen with a push of a button.

You have a small point here. But the bigger point is that transhumanism will provide a way to give some serious training wheels for those of little belief in anything spiritual. And that is worth every bit of it despite how easy it will become. One could argue that before domestication of horses we were better off trekking out on foot to get to where we needed to go. Or that books are better than a computers since with a book you get all the details. Or there is just something about holding a book that makes it more real or captivating. Or something like that. It's just a matter of perception.

I have no doubt that if one uses transhumanism technologies to teach themselves to astral project that one can get to the point where they don't even need a machine to help them. This is the idea ultimately. And to even take it a step further, ultimately we should be able to modify our DNA in order that everyone can astral project without any nano robotic enhancement. I see nothing wrong with this as long as we know what we are doing. By then we can run complex mathematical equations and algorithms to find out the effects of certain enhancements before we even create any genetically enhanced human beings. I have no doubt that some experiments will go wrong. But in the end all experiments will bring about more an end to suffering than any possible suffering in the short term with these kinds of experiments.

Peace.

It's the BS, as you put it that teaches you. You seem to be missing the point here.

If I am missing a point, can you explain the point better?
