Why do you do it?

[Phong]

Why do anything?

[spiral]

I am drawn to it, I see it as the next step in my evolution of self. I want to reconnect with where I came from.. Its kind of like going home after a long and fruitful journey in body. Plus its heaps of fun[8D]

I'm trying to do it for several reasons.

Adventure and fun, the whole wisdom thing, oh, and also, I've always wanted to be able to fly. Another reason is cause i have a friend who moved to China and I thought it would be cool to just kinda "drop in" and later, when we talk on aim, say "I know what you were doing an 4PM" Plus don't you think it would just be so....cool?

Imagine... Soaring around the universe at a speed with literally no limit! You can experience things that 99.9999% of people have no idea even exists! Communicating with spirits, seeing the future, and most importantly, freaking out your friends.

I agree with what somebody said above, "Why NOT do it?"

[Veccolo]

I do it for the fun part of it. Spirituality doesn't interest me.

It's fun!

It's like that old JK song "You Make Me Feel Good"...Astral projection makes me feel good! [][][]

It's a huge rush, plus I'm left with a nice feeling the rest of the day...

While I'm projecting, it's like the ultimate high...I've been all about the natural highs all my life, and never did a drug a day in my life...Why do drugs when you can not only get the ultimate high, but improve your mind at the same time, instead of screwing it up?? (That's my philosophy/not trying to start a debate here...just stating my reasons for AP'ing. Please don't argue if you disagree. Start another topic for that) []

Because it's the most exhiliarating thing that's ever happened to me.

I was talking to people once who were talking about meditation and how it helps you relax.  So I decided to try to meditate not knowing exactly any techniques.  Just from TV I knew you had to clear all thoughts and stuff.  So I used to do that and discovered that I would gradually see images and then visions (as in a dream).  So I used to do it as an escape and because I was always curious each time where I would go and who I would meet.  It is like dreaming but you are fully awake.  Unfortunately I never thought to go in RTZ mostly because I didn't realize this was a real phenomena rather than just in my head kind of thing.

But I ended up stopping doing it, and am now trying to start to again, hence why I am here to look for peoples advice and stuff.  Probably sounds silly since I used to before but I am having trouble doing it now and only have spontaneous uncontrolled visions which are more premonitions then APing.  However, premonitions are bitter sweet, since they prepare you for whats to come, but it still is bad when the stuff happens.  I'm sure many would agree, but I'm trying to make this stuff more controlled.

If you currently are able to have OBE or astral project or reach different levels of astral consciousness (I'm going to attempt to find out the difference between these, if any, momentarily)...  WHY do you do it?

Same question for those who aren't yet able, but attempt:  Why do you try to do it?
