I know someone believes that OBE is against the will of god

Beavis:

What we mean by 'respecting someone elses beliefs' is not so much the content of the beliefs themselves... but that you should respect the fundamental right of an individual to hold any beliefs he likes about himself and the world around him. That is what we mean by 'respecting others beliefs'..
Doesnt mean you have to agree with the content of them.. you are free to disagree with them.. so no you dont have to respect the factual content of them as truth.. but you do have to respect that persons right to hold them and you shouldnt violate that by openly insulting them or the individual..

There is a big difference between disagreeing and debating between different beliefs and having opinions as to which is better, but quite another to openly insult people because of them.. the first point is about respect, the second is about a  lack of it.

thank you for such a lucid post,Gandalf.

I can't see how God could care about us obeying a rule he never told us about.

God never told us whether should or shouldn't project.

That makes it our choice. If we want to project, that's fine. If we don't, that's fine too.

If God doesn't want us doing something, either he'll make it impossible for us to do, or he'll make sure we know we are not supposed to do it.

Probably God is not against it, only thing he wants us is to love and if OBE can help one expand consciousness and come closer to love then why not?

My favorite saint Padre Pio was known for bilocations and AP. I think it was a natural gift from God--like a result of constant prayer and meditation, he did not try to induce anything... That is what I am trying to concentrate on now.
