Can you die during astral travelling?

[thirdeye26]

So, one of my major fears is that if I leave my body,  I will not be able to return to it. In other words, I might die. To others harboring the same fear, I recommend the following article.

You are asking a very BIG question. There is a lot of debate on this issue on these forums and on other websites. Some people maintain that the soul is indestructable and eternal. Others maintain that, under certain circumstances, a soul can be harmed or even destroyed.

First off it appears that there are only opinions and no definitive evidence.
Secondly, from personal experience while out of body I Do know that hostile and even violent encounters are possible. Such situations are quite rare or easily avoided.

In general I can confidently state that OBEs are, as a rule, quite safe. If a person goes out of body with good intentions then he or she has little to worry about.
Should you ever find yourself in a dangerous situation during an OBE it will always be possible for you to immediately return to your physical body and end that OBE.

Dear thirdeye26,

almost every OBE book deals on this and they will all tell you the same: that it is no more dangerous than sleep.

Your attachments such as loves, fears, relations will keep you hooked to that physical body unless some other entity manages to create a stronger attachment to your body. Usually this is not possible and at best, foreign entities may only be able to attach to body's lower chakras unless they're granted permission by the owner.

What people should truely worry about are the anesthetics usually given to people before surgery. For some reason they loosen the soul so much, that astral beings can steal the bodies from their owners. People and nurses are barely aware of this as a personality-change phenomenon that occurs a lot after surgeries.

Thank you so much for your response.

Dear GreyTraveller, yes, that is what I have been assured by many...that it is not possible for anyone to take control. But in my case, I think I am a bit too much attached to my body and have a big phobia of separating from it.

Dear Tiny, I did have anesthesia once and don't remember what happened during the surgery (a minor one) I remember waking up giggling and telling jokes and even the doctor was laughing.

Err.. personalreality, where did you get those statistics?

50/50 chance of death on each projection?

I don't try any of this unless I've put a white light around myself, makes me feel safe

All people project when they die...

All people project when they die...   

But do they die when they project?

Realisation, have you read the above, including the link?
Be positive and go for it.

I would say that the only possibility of death in OBE is if you're already scheduled to die at that point.

[zareste]

That would assume you're on Death Row or something

[kurtykurt42]

Or really really old. 

I head about this cat that goes near patients in a hospital when they are about to die. The cat will sit next to the patient for a couple of days until they pass away.

You can die from straining too hard taking a number 2. Point is death is always lurking around so anything is possible.

[kurtykurt42]

That would be a tough way to go... 

I used to be afraid of death but not so much anymore.
