what the HELL

Esoteric garbage for 14-year olds.

Do you honestly believe in shit like this? You must be deluded to a point of insanity.

>>8101894
I'm not going to kill this thread by arguing with trolls

>>8101897
Has skepticism formed in your mind? Must be harder to delude yourself now.

You need help. Even moreso than the rest of /jp/.

If this is true, then why is it not used in law enforcement?
Still, I'm curious what people are actually experiencing when they perform this. Hallucinations, perhaps? I wonder if there are any medical studies.

>>8101903
The mind is powerful and our control over it is far stronger than some people think.
So if you want to hallucinate that there is an "astral plane" you will.

My friend had an astral projection once when he was on shrooms. Said it was both the most terrifying and awesome thing he's ever been through.

>>8101903
it's actually being used
see rob's magick blog
>So like, if astral projection is real, why isn’t it being used by government intelligence agencies / corporate spies / ect.?

>>8101903
I think it's just intentionally self-induced sleep paralysis.

Astral projection doesn't exist.

Some people tried earlier this year.

>Your astral body can be killed. If this happens, your astral body will cease to exist, there will be no connection between your mental and physical bodies, and your physical body will die.
With all the human-eating youkai in Gensokyo I don't think it's the safest place to go.

>>8101915
Oh hell no. Why would you do that to yourself?
That's the most terrifying thing in the world.

Why even bother? Just lucid dream like any normal person.

>>8101927
it's the next level and has more to offer

It also onvolves delving into esoteric nutjob shit.

I've had limited success with OOBE a few times in the past and I think it'd be fun to get into again. Some questions:

- Is there a set place where we should meet? I'm not the best at really traveling around, but I know how to go to places where I've been before.

- How "open" should my psychic shield be? Enough for communication and psychic visibility, of course, but should we let our minds be open to imagery? I'm imagining some of you could project some fucked up stuff into our minds if we're not careful.

- How do I know I won't be followed home by you guys? I've never seen another person in an out of body experience (well, that was awake ... or psychic) so I'm worried that one of you might be able to trace my psychic fingerprint back to my house. I don't know how to protect my home against psychic invasions so this could be a real problem; I enjoy my privacy.

I'd love to hear your opinions. And for you newbies, I'd recommend trying DXM or Ketamine - They really helped me understand what one should feel like.

somebody sounds bitter.

>>8101956
Are you fucking retarded? Nobody can "trace back", it has been disproven by experimentation

>>8101961
>>8101933
>nutjob
>shit
>fucking retarded

Observing this thread as a whole is extremely comical.

>gensokyo/unite with their waifus on the astral plane

LOL

>>8101968
People honestly believing in shit like this makes me rage. Cashgrab charlatanry should not be rewarded by faggots like them.

>>8101961
Sorry. Like I said, I don't know much about it. I just read some guides on it a few years ago and figured that it'd be fun to try. I mean, if you're going to waste five hours a day sleeping, you might as well try to do something fun at the same time, right?

>>8101978
the force is strong with this one
