Astral Projection: The dangers.

[gall]

Has anyone seen this?  Any truth to it you think?

I thought astral projection was completely safe, if this not a credible source?

There are dangers, but not the ones you might be thinking of. They are mainly psychological. For those who are not in a mentally healthy frame of mind, these practices don't seem to do them any favors; such folks will often seek out these practices, thinking of them as treatments for whatever situations they have in their life. This is probably a very bad direction for them.

So if you want to know if the practice is potentially harmful for you, I suppose you must ask yourself if you are coming to it in a healthy frame of mind, for the "right" reasons.

The gentleman in the video is working for what he perceives to be the benefit of all, and I applaud him for that intent. That said, I think he is working under the burden of several forms of doctrine and dogma. Negative entities may possibly exist, however every indication I have seen is that every instance anyone ever reports is actually connected to their own psyche. Now if you are in a slightly troubled state of mind to begin with, having the experience of one of these encounters is not going to be beneficial to you. If you are well off, you will likely have the perspective to say that these beings are representative of various fears you may be illustrating to yourself.

You need to set aside fears of such encounters, because they will hold you back.

There are a bunch of thoes dangers of astral projection videos  out there .   A bunch are made by fear based church groups .  I did not see the one you posted , but the ones I have scene are quite funny to watch .  ( full of b. s. )

You've had dreams your entire life up until now, correct?
You're unharmed.  You can dream of losing a limb, getting sliced in half... DIE... and you've been fine.

I watched bits and pieces of that video... it's a load of crap.  Fear-mongering.

The guy is saying that it is dangerous to go out with out guides or protection .  Robert Monroe did not use any kind of protection , or did not write of any in his books , but did write of having some guides .  Others like Dic k Sutphen say to use protection .

I never used any guides nor I consciously have created any sort of protection during my 13 years of experience. Nothing dangerous ever happened, only amazing experiences. On the other hand someone's fears or negative state of mind may create corresponding experiences, but that has nothing to do with external dangers of any sort. Bottom line, you can be your own guiding light, or your worst enemy.
