Can Astral projection be a glimpse at our alternate lives?

[Astralcat]

Hi everyone,

I recently read a book on astral projection, "The out of body experience" by Anthony Peake. In the third part of the book he talks about the different theories behind astral projection pertaining to quantum physics and he mentions the many worlds interpretation of the universe (ie. that there are multiple realities.) Is it possible that when you astral project you can experience one of your alternative lives? Like when Robert Monroe saud he could visit "I there."
Has this ever happened to anyone?

I'd be quite wary of lumping quantum physics with astral projection. It seems to be a fashionable trend to state 'quantum physics' as evidence of anything 'spiritual' and it smacks of selling books/making money to me.

Can we experience alternate lives when dreaming? Do we visit other realities in dreams? Well, if at some point in the future one of these theories that he mentions becomes accepted as fact, then I'd argue that we've been mentally zooming all over the place since we were born.

Assuming the theory holds true, in answer to your question - yes it's possible. And yes, I have. An alternate life in a dream may be simply where you are someone else with a family that your waking self doesn't recognise. That's happened to me any number of times. I could quite easily write a book about these particular adventures and call them my "I There" experiences validating them by waffling on about quantum physics. 

Does that help?

Maybe that's what it is: alternate lives are dream lives, or as Frank would say FoC 2 lives. So, astral projection, better called phasing, could be temporary focus into alternate lives, situated into the FoC 2 area of consciousness. I don't believe that there's any validity to the hypothesis of a Universe with an infinite number of parallel lives sprung from all the decision forks.

Yeah that's interesting. What is FoC 2?

Yeah that's interesting. What is FoC 2?

Focus 2 of consciousness, in Frank Kepple's "Four Focus" model of the wider reality.

Thanks Selski, I'll definitely take a look
