A Book has Me Thinking About Astral Projection
Can anybody do it?
Surprise, surprise, I read a book that’s got my mind reeling. I actually finished it a while ago, but it’s sitting on a bookcase at the foot of my bed — staring at me unnervingly. I considered relocating it to the shelf across my room, but instead, I decided to write about it, and here we are.
The book is about astral projection — the idea that our consciousness/soul/mind can leave our bodies then return again — a topic I’ve felt drawn to for over a decade.
We know the mind is a powerful thing and capable of phenomenal feats. Humanity has known this since ancient times. Yet, many still struggle to accept the possibility when it comes to concepts such as astral projection — an experience with mounting evidence to support it.
What’s Astral Projection?
The idea that our soul, or whatever you want to call it, can leave our body dates back thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years. Often the experience is considered a spiritual one led by a spiritual leader, sometimes known as a Shaman. These ceremonies are still practiced today and include concoctions such as ayahuasca — a drink made from herbs and plants with hallucinogenic properties. I’ve talked about this before.
