Is this astral projection?? I need to know

[fireman4life]

Ok first of all if you are offended by sexual things please do not continue reading. This is not a joke, and I hope this isn't breaking the rules, but I have to ask if this is astral projection or not.


So I was on another forum and some people were talking about astral projection, and I was immediately interested. I found out what it was, and I want to know if my own experience is light astral projection or not. So when I go to bed, sometimes I start to relax into a point where I am almost asleep, but I am still aware. Like my body is asleep but I can still feel and what not. So sometimes when I am in this state I feel like it would be really cool to masturbate, and I try to sort of. Like it feels like I am doing something, and it feels really exceptionally  good, and I "think" that I am doing it with my hand, but then I bring myself out of it, and find my hand never moved. I then get back into the state and try again to actually move my hand, but I don't think I ever am capable. So is this astral projecting?

Okaaay,...no, it's not Astral Projection. However, if you actually felt your hand moving/doing something while in that state (and knew or found out later that you arms/hands hadn't moved from their initial position), it could've been your Astral arms/hands that you were controlling due to its temporary seperation from its physical counterpart.

Try this test or exercise.

In a blacked out room, usually easier at night with no light, and as your eyes adjust to the lack of light,
wave and move your hands and arms in front of you. Try it fast and slow.

Can you see a ghost like very subtle trace of your arms and hands?

This is the fun part. Now close and cover your eyes tightly with one hand, and wave the other in front of your face. Do you still see the ghostly tracing image of the arm and hand?.

Now put something you know is light proof over your eyes, like a sleeping mask, or heavy cloth, like a coat over your head.
I can still see a ghostly out line of my hands and arms tracing in my visual field.

What are we seeing? The phantom image created by the brain because it knows the location of the arm and hand, or do we actually see the ethereal body?

Sounds like a partial projection. Your desire makes you project.
You may catch yourself with arms or legs floating out occasionally when you are on the sleep/awake border, its normal, but not full projection.
More training .... All the best ...

Its hard to say what one sees in this test, but its pretty common that people can see like this, they can't see others hands etc like this, only their own , I'm sure.

And, I guess its not possible to 'see' the higher bodies, while in physical, so it won't matter if your eyes are covered or not, eyes play no part, if you are trying to see the non-physical bodies.

You need to be at least partially out, or very gifted, or very well trained (A Master), to perceive the non-physical.
