Blind and Deaf People

[Mirador]

Yes Amicus, they can OBE even if they're brain dead. Any other questions?

Hi amicus,

There is some writing on this very subject. If you have a copy of Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce, then take a look at pages 100 to 103. If you don't have a copy here's some of what Robert wrote:

 "  Blindness and OBE Perception

   Supporting evidence can be found in the study of the dream and projection abilities of blind people. It is fairly well known that blind people who have experienced sight before they became blind are capable of having fully sighted dreams and projections. Obviously, if the physical condition of the eyes were reflected into the sight capabilities of the projected double, physical blindness would blind the projected double out of its body during an OBE-which is simply not the case.

   However, if the physical eyes had nothing to do with OBE perception, then people who have been blind since birth (never experiencing sight) should also be able to see clearly during dreams and projections-which unfortunately is also not the case. Therefore, OBE  sensory perception must also be dependent on the learned sensory reception capabilities of the physical brain, not the current functioning or nonfunctioning abilities of the physical sense organs. These principles also apply to profound deafness." (Astral Dynamics pages 100-101)


There are exercises in Robert's book that do not rely on visualization, which, he indicates would be the biggest problem for blind projectors as they require basic learned sight experience. Rather, he has developed techniques which are set forth in Astral Dynamics, that are based on tactile imaging. Tactile imaging is defined as "The active use of focused body awareness to manipulate and stimulate the energy body, to raise energy into it, and stimulate its energy centers. Tactile imaging is also used for projection techniques." (Astral Dynamics page 545.)

Sorry for the long answer, however it was necessary. Hope that helps, and hope to hear more from you at the forum.

Very best,

Hi everyone,
I have a new question for you, but if it has been posted before please let me know.

If a blind person or a deaf one astral projects, can he/she see and hear while in the obe???. If so, does this also apply to other disabilities?.

Thanx
Hope to hear from you

Amicus
