astral or obe

[applemac]

what are truely the major defining characteristic differences between the 2?

[Stookie]

You could say that an OBE happens in the RTZ (Real-Time Zone) and that and Astral Projection takes place in the Astral.

Really, the only difference is your focus of awareness.

[Gandalf]

Bang on target.

Its all about where you are focusing your attention... the physical or the non physical spectrum of consciousness.

[LaG!]

Woah, I thought they were the same until Stookie's post. Interesting...

Imho Astral Projection is the projection of an astral double to the middle realms of RTZ, Ethereal and Astral Planes  . Mystic Projection is the projection of any of diverse forms to the lower and higher realms .

OBE is the out of body experience which may be any form of projection including but not limited to AP or MP .

A human can project from any of their stones .
The primary stones are available to all humans
moonstone ~ MP
sunstone ~ HS
earthstone ~ AP

As the human develops the energy body building up the light quotient they manifest more stones which allow more projections
