Astral Projection…Or Are We Always Astral Projecting?

Astral projection is an innate ability that everyone has, and without knowing, is using everyday and every night…

In the words of OSHO,

“Those who have missed living in the past, automatically to substitute for the gap, start dreaming about the future. Their future is only a projection out of the past.”

What OSHO is saying is that projection is actually an ASTRAL projection. As we reminisce on past memories and day dream or fantasize about the future we are in fact astral projecting.

Every time we imagine or visualize ourselves in a future scenario we are indeed astral projecting with our minds, even while our eyes are open in a waking beta or gamma brainwave state. And the only time we are NOT astral projecting is when we are in the HERE and NOW.

Which leads me to the rest of the OSHO quote,

“Whatever they have missed in the past, they are hoping in the future; and between the two non-existences is the small existent moment which is life.”

The ultimate goal of astral projection or astral traveling is to get to the here and now so we can be lucid and present with the moment in our waking state.

We are also astral projecting in our dream state. Every night when we go into a deep sleep state known as Delta. In a Delta brainwave state, you are guided out of your body by your Higher Self into the higher dimensions of consciousness known as the Akashic Zone, where we review everything that occurred during the day.

The Akashic Zone is where we have a stored a record of every thought, feeling, emotion, action, and experience, basically everything about ourselves and our lives. So if you ever wonder why you feel like you’re being watched sometimes, outside of government agencies, well, you are, by your Higher Self.

Lucid dreaming is awakening in the dream state and therefore regaining consciousness and being able to have conscious influence over the contextual experience of the dream. In yoga, we practice this, what is called Dream Yoga, so that we can continue practicing yoga while we’re sleeping.

This is also astral traveling while we are asleep and is pretty much the same experience as astral projection through meditations in the waking state. Lucid dreaming, like astral traveling, have the same impact and effects on our consciousness.

An out of body experience, or a near death experience is basically a separation between the physical and astral bodies. In addition, remote viewing is the same experience where you travel to a specific location in the physical realm you with your astral body and are able to see everything that is occurring in real time.

In 1972, the CIA & U.S. Military developed Project Stargate, recruiting psychics to spy on the Soviets using remote viewing and other ESP techniques. The details that were obtained were quite specific and uncanny, although “Project Stargate” was ultimately defunded and shut down in 1995.

Native Americans and Shamans call the astral world the “dream world”. Shamans use plant medicines such as Ayahuasca, Peyote, and DMT to bring about an altered-state in consciousness so the individual can travel to other worlds (past-present-future), commune with God, receive psychic information, and also heal deep psychological and emotional wounds that have been with them since childhood or even past lives.

This is a ritual also called soul-retrieval. We live between past and future until we fully heal and can be HERE right NOW in our fullest potential as Multi-Dimensional Divine Beings.

In Shamanism there is the assemblage point, a vortex emerges and life force energy is able to enter the electromagnetic body. Located at the heart center is a place of power within our own being to perceive parallel worlds and astrally travel to them.

Consciously shifting the assemblage point is what Don Juan calls “unfolding the wings of perception.” In yoga, there is an 8th chakra called the Bindu Chakra (Amrita), “the nectar of immortality” also known as the moon center, which is located at the upper back of the head between the crown and third eye chakra.

This is often seen as an assemblage point for astral travel in yoga.

We don’t actually leave our body when we astral travel because our spirit is infinite. So by shifting our perspective all we are doing is moving the assemblage point from point A (SELF) to point b (any time and space of your intention).

The word astral derives from the Greek word Astron translating to star. Perhaps, it was through astral projection the first astronomers explored outer space?

The human mind, if left to its own devices, is always wandering aimlessly through mazes of its own design, traveling between past and future, trying to put all of the puzzle pieces together. Astral projection is a tool that can be used to reclaim our divinity and multidimensionality, so we can actually be present with the HERE and NOW.

It seems simple yet being present, truly present, is much more complex when it is so easy to be distracted from it, that is, unconsciously. How conscious of the unconscious are you?

That is the real question here. We all have blindspots and astral traveling like lucid dreaming is a way that we can see our own blindspots, so we can heal and become whole.

So all this being said, I have to leave you with a little precaution:

Beware of tourism in the astrals.

Just like on this plane, there’s some unfriendly characters you could encounter if you’re unaware of what your doing and why you’re doing it. Intention is everything, and attracts every experience in the astrals to you.

So ethics is extraordinarily essential to consider while traveling through them. The misuse of power is also something to be conscious of, spying on a lover, or ex-lover, or anyone for that matter, is highly discouraged. Remember just like Newton’s law of physics “every action has an equal and opposite reaction”, this too applies to the astrals.
