Some peo­ple who’ve read about me have been ask­ing about Astral pro­jec­tion and OBE — out of Body expe­ri­ences. So, I’m going to talk about these briefly over the next few days.

I’ll start by shar­ing with you sev­eral def­i­n­i­tions of ASTRAL PROJECTION that you can find if you search on Google.

In the mean­time, I’d like to find out if any­one has had any expe­ri­ences with astral pro­jec­tion at any time and/or is will­ing to com­ment on these def­i­n­i­tions to help out those who are look­ing to learn more…?
