Viewing The Many Ideas About The Reasons To Astral Project

By Richard Taylor


For the extremely spiritual, the ability to astral project is either viewed as a given or is a goal to achieve. There is much emphasis placed on the ability to understand what separates the physical body from the self that is truly spiritual. These ideas consume the truly devout for their entire lives.

Astral projection is understood to be the process of experiencing what the soul does when it comes out of the body. This time of separation may be for a few moments or may last for a longer time. Many spiritual paths do view this as a given part of the walk away from living on this earth to existence on a more enlightened spiritual plane.

The idea that humans should seek a higher good through spiritual discipline is not new. It has existed in one form or the other throughout thousands of years of human history. Some faiths accept the process as part of the normal way of believing. Many fast, chant, pray and meditate to help their souls find the pathway away from their bodily existence. Some claim to reach the higher levels of heaven this way, while others view it as mere superstition.

The theme of the soul and body being two separate entities in one has been part of religious practices as long as the faiths have existed. Leaving the body in life and in death are religious high points that are considered to be not only serious, but sacred. Those who manage to attain this separation alive are viewed as saints. But there are just as many humans who believe they must wait until they die.

Spiritual projection, or even the attempt to achieve it is viewed by many conservative religions as the realm where evil lurks. They shun any form of behavior that seeks to achieve it. The idea that any actions by humans meant to change the way souls and bodies exist is to step into struggles between evil spirits, angels and the cosmic war of good against evil. To do so is considered foolish and dangerous because it opens the easy pathway into the human heart, mind and soul.

Spirits roaming the world is the stuff of many religious tales. Some view spirits as living in everything on earth. Others believe that spirits inhabit humans in order to challenge them away from good to evil. Anyone who describes times when their soul roams the world separate from their body is viewed as seriously troubled by some religious circles. And yet, the idea that this is truly possible is a common part of religions.

There have been literally thousands of stories about souls that have experiences while separated from their bodies. Several cultures view the ability to travel out of the body as a gift from God. Though scientists cannot explain these tales, people continue to tell them. What is disturbing is the regularity with which people tell stories that are validated by people who have seen the spiritual traveler in many places at the same time.

The stories told by those who claim to astral project are certainly gripping. It is not possible to explain how any person, living or dead, should be able to see things and experience visions all over the world at any given moment. The religious worldwide are fascinated by these reports, and are either repelled by them or wish to have similar times. The mysterious things in the universe as seen by the soul continue to encourage those who want to understand the meaning of life.
