Well the 10 commandments came from a higher state of consciousness which means there was some sort of consciousness expansion going on. Jesus and many wise philosophers astral projected. It's a spiritual ability and the reason religions may prohibit it, is to gain control of the masses. That's why the Roman Catholic Church took out Reincarnation and replaced it with Heaven and Hell to control the masses with fear. It is important to keep in mind that religion is completely man made and misinterpreted by those who seek power. Anything natural such as Meditation, Astral Projection, and psychic abilities are very useful tools for personal growth.
There is a bit of misinformation in there. Please show the facts that demonstrate how " That's why the Roman Catholic Church took out Reincarnation and replaced it with Heaven and Hell to control the masses with fear".
The RC recently made Padre Pio a Saint based on his miracles and documented ability to project a visible double to distant locations on a regular and routine basis and render assistance to those in need. I believe he died in 1968. He was a cloistered monk who left his monastery on only very rare occasions. From psychic clairvoyance to healing to manifesting physical objects to levitating, etc., the evidence shows that this man may be the greatest Magician to walk the Earth in our lifetimes, imho.
The Catholic Church does not ban nor forbid what is being referred to as 'witchcraft' here in these discussions. In fact, much of the ritual and many forms of Catholic prayer easily fit under the general description of witchcraft in a broad sense. (Using incantation/prayer/chant with willful intent to produce a physical outcome). It is the basic form of
Black Magic that is forbidden. That which psychically violates the personal space of others and interferes with free choice is almost universally repugnant.
and just FYI -- I believe Sufism is considered Heretical practice by both Sunni and Shia authorities.
