Basic Components Of Astral Project

By Richard Taylor


Astral project, also called astral projection or travel, involves the interpretation of out-of-body experiences that suggests that an astral body is different from the physical being and capable of travelling alone, outside of it. This specific term often refers to this particular body leaving its physical body to travel different planes. The premise is derived from religious belief in the afterlife and is also associated with close-to-death experiences.

This kind of projection experience is thought to be spontaneous. Often is is associated with surgical operations, illness, sleep, drug experiences, dreams, meditation or sleep paralysis. There are individuals who attempt this experience just for the experience or as part of a spiritual practice.

There are people who describe this kind of experience as travelling to other realms, also called planes. However, the majority of people describe it as a sensation that is like being out of body. The OBE takes place in the normal world and includes individual seeing her or him self from outside or even above. There is not a lot of proof to account for these experiences. In fact, only anecdotal evidence is available. During the middle of the twentieth century surveys conducted and reported that up to 50 percent of people have stated having this experience in during their life.

The theme is found in anthropological, as well as ethnographic, literature on witchcraft and shamanism. It can also be found in religious scriptures, myths and classical philosophy. The belief in projection differs by group and location.

Western philosophies have believed that this type of body can serve as a middle body of light that is able to link the soul with the physical body. Likewise, the plane serves as an intermediate world of light that is present between Heaven and Earth and is made up of spheres of stars and planets. Demons, angels and spirits exist in these spheres.

Some people claim that mention of projection can be found in biblical text. There is also belief that is is present in Islamic Mysticism, scriptures of Hindu, Inuit groups, Taoism, the Amazon, ancient Egypt and mythology of the Japanese. Different religious groups and cultures have their own beliefs regarding projection and how it relates to their traditions, folktales, practices and more.

Emanuel Swedenborg was a man who wrote about out-of-body experiences in Spiritual Diary during the 1700s. He was one of the first practitioners of his kind. There were numerous publications that came out during the twentieth century on this topic, but only some of the authors were well known: Hereward Carrington, Oliver Fox, Sylvia Muldoon, Robert Monroe, Yram. There are believers and supporters in this travel and there are also non-believers and skeptics. People who do not believe in this possibility may make not of the lack of physical evidence there is to support these claims. In fact, some believe that those who claim to have had OBEs are just crazy.

Astral project, also known as projection or travel, is meant to explain OBEs. This is a theory that is a part of many religions and cultures around the world. The basic idea is that the astral body can separate itself from the physical being and travel to outside planes.
