How To Astral Project
Relevant to the Mystic
An ancient practice that believers say should be treated with the utmost respect, astral projection is similar to yoga and meditation. With several varieties and different forms of projection, this phenomenon has been around for centuries.

I don't think this can really be done. I think people are mixing up deep consciousness or intense dreams with astral projection. For me astral projection will be more like what a near death experience might be like.
What you say is quite True Gothic, I have no experience of it, but I have had states of consciousness where my spirit has left my body. That was very dream-like and an experience I can't willfully reproduce. I suppose truly lucid dreams can take you beyond the veil.
How do you know your spirit left your body and not merely dreamed it or envisioned it. Dreams are very strong tools for the mind that can create something that seems real but isn't. I'm not trying to discredit your experience but I do not want to find how you can know the difference because if it felt like it doesn't mean it was it.
In truth, you cant. It all depends on your perception of the event. If it is real in your mind's eye, if your experience is real then the way you see it is true to you. Nobody can discredit anything you experience, they are not you, they cant know for certain. Whatever your perception of life, of love or hate, or light or shadow, whatever it is and however your consciousness lets you experience it - that is yours and yours alone.
Thank you for that honest take on your experience and you are quite right I can't discredit what you say you saw or how you felt you saw it and at the same time you cannot prove it. Its almost like if the tree falls in the forest does it make a sound question. It really all depends on how you see it but astral travel or any claimed outer body experience can't be put down to an exact science. I just can't see my conscious somewhere else because then I am giving it matter and its more of an energy.
You are discussing a matter that is very complicated very well. Our consciousness is larger than our bodies, matter is just a conduit for a spiritual experience. Where we are going and why we are making this journey are eternal questions that man has always endeavored to answer. Don't live in the past, have hope for the future and savour the Now.
Thank you but I don't understand what you meant by,
