in response to your post our practices do not conflict with any religons that i am aware of so learn all that you can and good traning[:)][:D][8D]
My mother is a hard core christian and she would agrue that this stuff is from satan. So, I guess it all depends on what degree of christianity you are referring to.
Blissful
Okay so where should i begin learning? What books/ sites do you recommend?
Hi takingbacksunday...wow, could that be any bigger of a mouth full?..lol
http://www.astralpulse.com/downloads/downloads.htm
This is a good place to start.[:D]
Nay
depends on what you want to belive? I have friends who believe that healing or anything metaphysical is satans work. If you train in developing any true spiritual growth or awareness, then take notice of the things that ring true to you from the depths of your own soul, and God bless you.[:)]
Hey there takingbacksunday![:D]
I had the exact sam question as yourself when I joined The Astral Pulse. I think that if this stuff was evil, hypothetically of course, we'd feel God pulling us away from it. Actually, I think I've gotten closer to Him![:)]
If you need any advice about kinesis of any sort, contact me via
Yahoo!Messenger at darhino21.
Hope to hear from you.
God bless you.[:D]
Hello takingbacksunday,
I myself feel that astral projection et cetera can actually strengthen a relationship with Him. In fact, the LORD actually led me to these things gradually; I have prayed about it several times, and each time God has send me an unmistakable message that this is right and true. So have fun and explore. I too recomend the downloads section of AstralPulse. However, if the treatises and arcticles peak your interest, I highly recomend buying Robert Jordan's books (especially Astral Dynamics). You can IM me too if you have any questions or just want to chat; my screen name is Linuxfreak87. Fly with Christ.
Lol its good that you have a open mind [:)] just dont give in to what people say to you and allwase fallow your heart no matter where it leads, that is the true path to happyness [:)] have fun you got a lot of wierd experences ahead of you but they rule!
Hi takingbacksunday,
Ryu-Kanjin has mentioned what I would consider to be the most important thing here - Always follow your heart!
There are many christian members here who have experienced astral projection and other psychic phenomena. Your ability to deal with these experiences depends entirely on where your beliefs are. There are christians who readily accept OBEs and other psychic abilities as simply being natural abilities that are God given. There are other christians who refute them and claim it to be deceptions of Satan.
Much of the disputes people have with such things come about purely through interpretation and level of adherance to the Bible, and not through personal experience or following the heart. Many ministers in particular will preach against astral projection, not out of experience, but out of theological learning only and what is essentially ignorance born out of the lack of any personal experience, or willingness to experience. Such ministers will however, readily accept "visions" and I would defy anyone to show that there is a difference between visions, as spoken of by the bible, and astral sight, or in some cases, full on OBEs.
In all things, whatever your beliefs or religion, follow your heart. The guiding force here comes from that part of you that is pure spirit, and can see beyond the veils placed about us in this physical world. Your heart, your spirit self, knows what is right for you, knows which road is the best one for you to travel, and will not lead you astray.
Kind regards,
James.
I'm really intrested in learning this stuff and im a Christian, so I'm wondering if practicing these things goes against the Christian religion.
