I was wondering, I heard the famous Einstein astral travelled and was able to get some feedback from the astral dimensions for some of his work. I don't know if that's really true or not but I was thinking: could the astral planes be used to somehow improve or benefit our learning ability in our physical form? maybe help to increase our desires to learn a certain subject in physical form like improve our memory on subjects too which we are trying to learn perhaps?
Anyone think this could be done? anyone done it?
nostradamus was projecting and thats how he was able to see future
i heard that nikola tesla was projecting too
he designed over 700 inventions
its been said that he was exploring "unknown lands"
i think he did get some help or somehow he did get inspiration or saw the inventions
Otto Loewl :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Loewi
Otto Loewi (June 3, 1873 – December 25, 1961) was a German pharmacologist whose discovery of acetylcholine helped enhance medical therapy. The discovery earned for him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1936 which he shared with Sir Henry Dale. He has been referred to as the "Father of Neuroscience."
Before Loewi's experiments, it was unclear whether signalling across the synapse was bioelectrical or chemical. Loewi's famous experiment, published in 1921, largely answered this question. According to Loewi, the idea for his key experiment came to him in his sleep.
August Kekule:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_August_Kekul%C3%A9_von_Stradonitz
He said that he had discovered the ring shape of the benzene molecule after having a reverie or day-dream of a snake seizing its own tail (this is a common symbol in many ancient cultures known as the Ouroboros). This vision, he said, came to him after years of studying the nature of carbon-carbon bonds.
Guisseppi Tartini:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Tartini
Tartini's most famous work is the "Devil's Trill Sonata", a solo violin sonata that requires a number of technically demanding double stop trills and is difficult even by modern standards. (One 19th-century myth had it that Tartini had six digits on his left hand, making these trills easier for him to play.) According to a legend embroidered upon by Madame Blavatsky, Tartini was inspired to write the sonata by a dream in which the Devil appeared at the foot of his bed playing the violin.

and Samuel Taylor Coleridge's kubla khan :

Coleridge claimed that the poem was inspired by an opium-induced dream (implicit in the poem's subtitle A Vision in a Dream) but that the composition was interrupted by a person from Porlock.
James Watt :
he found the best way to shape rifle projectiles in his dream
Wolfgang von Goethe:
he claimed that he solved many scientific problems in his dreams

Alfera, that's quite an impressive list of people and their contributions!
I work with a professor right now who actively uses his dreaming/astral attention to come up with solutions to problems he encounters in his research. For example, he was running a complex computer model on evapotranspiration rates in forests and ran into a snag - there was a problem with the logic in a few lines of the program and he couldn't find a solution. One night he dreamt the solution, he actually saw the correct lines, and in the middle of the night got on his bike and rode to the university to modify the problem lines. Sure enough, the program ran fine! He also said that when he reads his own papers he often wonders who wrote them - he maintains that many of the ideas in them "are not from his mind" (direct quote). This person BTW, is a hard core rationalist who has no time for silly ideas like the astral plane or paranormal phenomenon, and yet, he is doing these things.
The truth is that we are constantly making trips "over there", both in the waking state and while asleep, whether we are directly aware of it or not. How that impacts our lives in this reality can only be known by examining one's own existence through practice - meditation, clearing the mind, astral traveling, dreaming, etc.
BON VOYAGE!
