hey, i've been "informed" about this theory about the psychological death where you eliminate your ego and all of that but... what does that have to do with astral projection? people and internet have kind of pieced little parts into my brain about how to astral project, eliminating your ego, building consciousness, and even something to do with "sex magic"? id like to start over though because its not helping and im just really confused about what to do with life.
The belief in ego-destruction really has nothing to do with AP, it has to do with expanding awareness, and as Stookie said, it's a complicated subject and many people have many theories on what it is or what it's supposed to be. So I'll leave that alone as just this theme can be a page long.
1. How do you even astral project?
You move your conscious awareness away from your body. If you're asking for techniques, there's a section in this forum about just that.
2. why do you want to astral project? is it the answer to life some how or something?
Personally, I believe it's something that 'happens' to people, and they share it, and then others want to do it. It's not the answer to anything, it just affords you a different perspective than the body's perspective and reality in general.
3. am i to young to do all of this?
It depends. I've been projecting since I was around 8 or 9 but hadn't learned fear until much later. I was also lucky (or privileged) to have knowledgeable parents that didn't try to convince me it wasn't real. The question is, are you mature enough to handle an experience of instant feedback, of all your fears or subconscious thoughts and desires? Then you decide.
4. is there scary things about astral projection?
Absolutely. Lots of scary things. Now, most are self-created, but that doesn't make them any less scary.
i want to do something with my life not just live, die and its over.
That is good, it means there's more depth to you than most.
does this somehow relate to the answer to life?
Everything relates to the answer to life. Every decision you make. So sure, this does.
i dont know what to do and i think ive been introduced to these concepts the wrong way
I'm not going to ask you why you think this, I'll just say- chuck all beliefs that don't serve you, start with a clean slate, and know that whatever you decide will be to your benefit, because there is always something to learn.
If the idea of doing this is giving you anxiety, ask your Higher Self (or your idea of God, or whatever you believe in) to give you a dream telling you what you should do about this.
It seems to me that you are thinking about this is an indication that there is something in you that is telling you this is the path you're supposed to take, but you shouldn't do anything you don't feel comfortable doing.
Take this from someone who knows: When you feel called to follow a specific path and you're afraid (perfectly understandable), the universe will rearrange itself to give you clues as to what to do, and will sometimes do so forcefully. So don't worry if you don't want to do it- it'll happen if it's supposed to.
