When I was younger I used to believe a lot in "pseudo sciences" (lol its what I like to call them).

I had one such experience though, it was pretty rocking.

Later I read a book on how to do induce an Astral projection and it said "drink a glass of wine". At that point, Astral projection lost all credibility with me.

One experience I had was that I was lying half awake one morning having read a book on astral travel the night before, so I decided to give it a go. I projected myself to what I thought was a house I had once lived in and walked through the front door and up the stairs. When I got to the top of the stairs I realized that it was actually a different house (it had one door there instead of two) and in fact resembled a house further up the street from the one I had lived in. The door was slightly ajar so I walked through and into a living room where three young men were eating breakfast at a small table. First one of them and then the other two began looking in my direction. I was surprised and asked "Can you see me" a couple of times and got a muffled affirmative response the second time.

Remembering that wiggling your big toe could be used as a trigger to return to your body, I said "I'm going to show you a trick; are you watching?" I got no response so I said loudly "Are you watching?" to which one of them shouted "Yes!". I then wiggled my big toe and was instantly wide awake.

I suppose this was almost certainly just a lucid dream but it seemed so real and it started when I was almost awake. Interesting experience anyway.

Cornfed, great story!

I had an interesting occurence happen recently after my grandfather passed away. I had a dream where I went to a house which seemed very familiar (but one I didn't know in this world). I walked through the front door and could feel my grandfather's presense, then had a strong sensation rush through my body and I was awake again.

hermes, is "Astral Dynamics" by Robert Bruce worth getting to learn more about AP?

or do you have any other recommendations?

If it is possible, why wouldn't we want to explore or expand the idea??

Everything on this planet is in a constant state of evolution. Why wouldn't the human mind/energy being evolve as well? Why should we fear what we don't understand or avoid or even deny it's possibility.

Conservative religious belief systems tend to get in the way of exploring unknown territory...it's too bad really.

As for making something legit to the public...It is unfortunate that when researching new concepts (or anything for that matter) that the people involved are interested in personal aspirations first (ie: being published or recognized in some significant manner). Furthermore, their work must be scrutinized by their peers/superiors, ALSO interested in advancing their own status or reputation. Most new concepts are doomed from the start as they may conflict with someone else's further up the ladder of "success" and therefore be squashed!

Wonderful things can happen when you can turn off your ego, step out of the mental static and explore your mind....why would that ever seem wrong?

One time in Central America, a resemblance to the face of Jesus appeared on a fence.
People came from miles around to see this holy vision.
Abandoned crutches and wheelchairs gradually accumulated.
Then a worker washed off the whitewash and found that it wasn't Jesus, it was Willy Nelson.
Then the miracles stopped taking place.

When I was living in Knoxville, Tennessee, they built a church with a stained glass window in which a cross mysteriously appeared at nighttime.
That resulted in a few faith healings, too.
Then there was a power failure which temporarily put out the street lights outside.
When the street lights came back on, the cross on the stained glass window reappeared.
Then the miracles stopped taking place.
