'They' say that it can be difficult to study physical world phenomena from the "astral" or "etheric" planes. Sometimes things aren't quite the same. Nevertheless, I share your passion. While I chose to major in psychology, I've always been a huge fan of anstronomy, astrophysics and my favorite cosmology. When I was young I wanted to be Carl Sagan when I grew up. That was one of the reasons I wanted to AP. Contact (book) inspired me to find a way to travel to other worlds to see who I'd meet.
Oh i understand how you feel. Contact(The Film) has been one of my favourite movies and it has always inspired me. Yes it would be fun to explore for extraterrestrial life but i was hoping more on getting insights that might further my understanding of the fundamental intricate workings of the cosmos. Up to date i have not had any experiences out of the body so i wouldn't know for myself how subjective/objective things might be. I respect the experience of people who have done this before me but i understand there is a process that if done properly can guarantee a good percent of objectivity in an experience.
This is the goal i am setting as the beginning. Who knows now, maybe once i've stepped over the threshold i might start thinking differently. It will all depend on the kind of experiences i get. It's just that i am thinking. If we have such a powerful tool like phasing then why haven't we solved matters like how the world works? Matters like developing a way to utilize free energy for our needs instead of oil. I understand that in the world of Physics exists a fundamental problem, that being that we have no way to intrinsically step further into the problems we face beyond the theories. What if Astral Projection is the answer to this problem?
Now i know those are quite earthly concerns but still that resonates weird to me. If these kind of experiences are true then we should be able to distill pure knowledge out of it and help the world, and since there are not many scientists who are up for the task, i thought i might give it a go at both, setting it as a goal now that i am neither a Scientist nor an Astral Projector.
I will strive to become both. Then hopefully i will be able to distinguish what is true and what is not.
