Is astral projection an adequate explanation?

FAQ's by Journi A. Smed
Many investigators are convinced of the reality of astral projection. Among the best known are Muldoon and Carrington, and Crookall. Sylvan Muldoon claimed to be able to project at will and described his experiences in The Projection of the Astral Body [MC29] written in collaboration with the psychical researcher Hereward Carrington. Together these two collected many cases of spontaneous OBEs which they amassed as support for the reality of astral projection.

Can Hypnosis lead to an out of body experience or to astral projection ?

phosphenism psychic sciences and initiatory techniques
Many people search for out of body experiences without knowing what they really are or how to produce them. It is thus very difficult for them to recognize these phenomena. There is a strong opposition between initiatory experiences and psychological experiences. The latter do not belong to initiatory techniques. It is extremely important to know what domain you are working on and what are its limits.

What is an astral projection?

FAQ's by Journi A. Smed
Superficially, the idea of having a double may seem to explain the OBE. However, as soon as this idea is pursued, problems become obvious and the system has to get more complicated to deal with those problems. One of the most complex, and certainly the most influential, of such systems is the theory of astral projection, based on the teachings of theosophy. In 1875 Madame Blavatsky founded the Theosophical Society in New York, to study Eastern religions and science.

I can do astral projection, should I learn how to dream lucidly?

Lucid Dreaming/Print version - Wikibooks, collection of open...
Possibly not. If you often enter a "dream world" after having the experience of leaving your body, that is basically the same as the method called Wake-Initiation of Lucid Dreams. Keep in mind that many people believe that "astral projection" or "out-of-body experiences" are actually lucid dreams. Whether these are real psi phenomena or the creative product of your dreaming mind, learning to dream lucidly will expand the variety of your experiences.

If this is so similar, why learn lucid dreaming and not astral projection?

Lucid Dreaming/Print version - Wikibooks, collection of open...
Lucid dreaming is something that everybody can understand. Most people have already had a lucid dream. No single theory about astral projection is accepted even in the astral projection community. If you are prepared to spend money, there are some gadgets to help people dream lucidly. Usually, they will give a light or sound signal shortly after the REM state is detected. Hypnosis tapes usually focus more on self-improvement and you cannot decide what to do with your hypnotic trance.

You bet! And if you astral project, and stay near the lower astral worlds, you are bound to run into them.

Dead people can have many appearances. It has been commented over and over that the higher their vibration, the more they appear like a radiant star.

When doing that, the areas in the north begin to stretch east-west. This projection allows GIS users to take the RIDGE images and plot them into their own software and add their own overlays.
