Astral Projection
Astral projection, a term often depicted in fictional films and articles, is frequently dismissed by modern humans, particularly in Western societies, as a mythical superpower. To the average person, the idea of leaving one's body as a soul may seem absurd. However, astral projection is indeed a real skill practiced by certain indigenous groups worldwide, such as the Tibetan dream monks.
Many individuals tend to mock the concept, labeling those who visualize their soul leaving their body as crazy. Yet, their judgment stems from ignorance rather than understanding the subject. It is often easier to dismiss something unfamiliar than to take the time to explore and gain knowledge about it.
From a spiritual perspective, astral projection involves the individual directing their consciousness into their astral body, also referred to as the energy body. Beyond the scope of what our physical eyes can perceive, there exist multiple dimensions that most humans fail to explore throughout their entire lives. Since our physical eyes are limited to perceiving the physical world, they cannot perceive these dimensions where the astral body travels. These dimensions serve as energetic replicas of our material world, offering endless possibilities for exploration and discovery. One such area to delve into further is the subconscious realm, which I will discuss more extensively in a separate post on the incredible capabilities of our subconscious mind.
So, what has led to the decline of this transformative skill that has the potential to revolutionize everyone's perspective on human existence? The answer lies in the complexities of modern life. Most individuals are born as blank slates, susceptible to being indoctrinated by the influences of society, both captivating and pernicious. People become consumed by materialistic pursuits, spending their entire lives chasing after these possessions, even carrying their obsession into the afterlife.
On a spiritual level, those who adhere to organized religions may hinder their own spiritual growth by adhering to man-made doctrines that serve primarily to instill fear and control. These doctrines perpetuate beliefs in heavenly or hellish realms, preventing individuals from seeking the true answers within themselves. It is worth noting that many spiritual masters throughout human history have shared similar wisdom, emphasizing the importance of seeking enlightenment within, such as discovering the kingdom of heaven within oneself.
In-depth exploration of these profound concepts will shed further light on the nature of human consciousness and our connection to the vast spiritual dimensions that exist beyond the physical realm.
