Does anyone here know how you can possess someone or switch bodies with them?

Me and my friend both want to temporarily switch bodies/possess each other, so this is completely consensual. I am not trying to possess anyone without their permission.

People have mentioned the "silver cord" thing in replies to similar questions about body-switching, but I'm not entirely convinced that it exists. The astral body may have an almost "magnetic" attraction to its correct physical body, but I don't know if any actual "cord" exists. With astral projection you can travel anywhere in the universe - so why not simply into someone else's body? I'm also not entirely convinced that any actual "cord" exists because I have read about trong-jug yogis actually switching bodies with people, but there is very little information about how they did it out there. So it seems like this is definitely possible, I'm just lacking the knowledge.

My friend and I will both astral project at the same time, so our bodies will be vacant. We just don't know how to actually get inside each other's bodies after that.

If you know how to do this, I will be eternally grateful if you'd share this info!!!

You are looking for an answer that doesn't exist. I have had many experiences that have proved to ME that there is more to this than just my imagination, though there is most certainly that as well. Unfortunately for you, I have no experiences that can prove this to YOU.

What we are telling you is that many people have taken the time to prove to themselves the accuracy and validity of their experiences but nobody has yet figured out how to prove it to you.

Personal experience trumps all.

If you can not accept this statement, then you can't be satisfied.

Expectations = Disappointments

Expectations do not equal disappointment with something that has been solidly proven. When I stick the key into the door of my house, I expect the door to open. If I have the right key, it happens every time. I have never yet been disappointed with that. When I add 2 + 2, I expect it to equal 4. And it usually does equal 4. Do you see the point?

This kind of thinking (proving things ONLY to yourself, personal experience trumps all, etc.) sounds very solipsistic. Just because someone believes or feels that something is true, does not make it true. I could sit here and believe that I can fly...but if I try to fly off the roof of a building, what's going to happen? I'm going to fall to the ground and probably die. Because belief does not equal truth.

Look, I'm not here to argue, it just seems very whacky that people have been astral traveling for a long time and nobody has bothered to articulate how to reliably get from point A to point B.
If there are techniques out there that to teach people how to reliably get out of the body (rope method, roll-out method, etc)...then why aren't there any techniques that can teach people how to reliably navigate the world once they're out there?

So...you're telling me that even though people have been astral projecting for hundreds of years now, nobody has taken a moment to verify where they're at, or even make sure they're really going to the intended place??? Really?

No offense, but that seems incredibly silly. How have people been practicing with astral projection for years and made ZERO advancements in accuracy?

That's nuts.

If you're not even going to take a moment to verify that you're not just playing tricks with your mind...what exactly is the difference between astral travel and an acid trip???

Hello,

I have had some limited success with astral projection (I can't do it for long and have only been around my house so far), but I intend to go further than that soon. So I have a question.

I keep reading that to travel during astral projection, you just "think" yourself to where you want to go...as in, just think about a place and you'll be transported there. But I also keep reading that you can be tricked...for example if you try to travel to the past to see Jesus, you might just go to a parallel universe and not see the Jesus you intended to see.

So my first question is: How can you make sure that you're going to exactly the right place? NOT to a parallel universe or alternate reality or imagined reality, but to exactly the place you intended to go?

And my second question is: How can you make 100% sure that you're not just imagining things? It seems possible that instead of actually going anywhere when you astral travel, you could just be imagining that you've gone places. And even if you don't completely imagine places, your imagination could still fill in some things, making your experience inaccurate and partially imagined.

Ok, nevermind
