[suicidedreams]

hi my name is ali n i'm from iran. well i dunno so much about OBE and the truth is that i suck at English, is there a chance for me to find another iranian person here to talk about astral projection and learning the steps? 
i tried so much to read the articles but its really hard for me.

Your English is fine .   I Live just west of Phoenix AZ USA , what we hear in the west is that Iran is a reglious opersive country , and not open to ideas like astral projection .     It is good to hear that some of the people living there are more open minded . I hope that your gov. does not watch the net looking for people with ideas out side there belief system . You do hear of people in China getting in trouble for there posting on the net . As to methods on astral projection , there all over the net and  in lots of books .   Robert Monroe , William Bulhman , Bruce Goldberg, are just a few of the authors , but I dont think there are new age book stores in Iran .   Ask if you want some links, all I have will be in English tho.  desert rat

I doubt there are other Iranians you will find, but you will see a handful of people that speak Arabic, and might be able to help!

And yes, please do be careful and don't take risks. I wouldn't discuss this with anyone around you, really. If Sufism is practiced near you, there are some mystic elements to it as well that overlap what we do here.

I did a wiki search , it says that about 63 % of Iran speaks Persian . I thought they spoke Farsi .  The only links I would have would be in English.  You might see what is on you tube .   And you do want to be care full who you talk to .   What we hear in the west is they will stone people for just about any thing .   I think they might see this as witch craft , you dont want an intrest in a.p. putting you here perment .   desert rat

Greetings ali and welcome
About reading articles here. The best place to start is in the "Welcome to the Astral FAQ Forum".
Have you tried using the Google translator? I use the Google translator to read the forums at the Russian website AING.ru and the Dutch site doorhetraam.nl. Of course here you will need to translate From English Into Farsi or Persian but it would be worth trying to do this.

Good luck

@Ali: salam, man irani hastam.

@desert rat: Iran is a complicated country and while the government is very strict on religion the people are mostly very open minded comparing to other Islamic countries. I haven't lived in Iran for a few years and I have heard that the laws are stricter now but until a few years ago the bookstores in Iran were full of books on yoga, meditation, astral projection, sufism, magic, etc. and you could easily find classes and workshops about these subjects in the major cities. Generally speaking there is a lot of interest in these subjects but I have heard that the government doesn't allow the publication of such books anymore. However Ali might be able to find some online versions on the internet.

P.S. There used to be a few active Iranian forums as well however I just checked them and it seems that they have been shut down.

And yes, please do be careful and don't take risks. I wouldn't discuss this with anyone around you, really. If Sufism is practiced near you, there are some mystic elements to it as well that overlap what we do here.

I doubt that talking about most of the paranormal subjects like astral projection can cause any problems but as far as I know sufism is a sensitive subject for the Iranian government and joining a sufi group might cause problems.
