Astral Projection is it True or Myth?

20 Astral Projection Myths —> Busted!

There are a lot of misconceptions about Astral Projection
floating around online and offline. Let us go through some of
the common ones, and throw some light on them.

Myth 1 : Astral Projection is very rare.
Truth : Astral Projection is a very common phenomenon indeed.
5% to 10% of the world’s population has experienced a conscious
Out of body experience at least once. This means around 6
million in the U.K or as much as 30 million in the United
States.

Myth 2 : Astral Projection is always spontaneous. You cannot
learn it.
Truth : Yes, you can learn to Astral Project at will. There are
countless techniques that teach you how to have an OOBE. Since
every individual is different, no particular technique is best
for everybody. You have to find out which method is best for
you. Just like anything in life, you have to practice and get
good at it.

Myth 3 : Not everyone can learn to Astral Project. It is only
for a selected few.
Truth :Yes, anyone can Astral Project. But it requires some
practice, consistency and open-mindedness. Just like you learn
to walk, ride a bicycle or swim, Astral Projection is a skill
you need to learn.

Myth 4 : Only adults can Astral Project because they are more
matured.
Truth : Not at all. Age is never a factor for Astral Projection.
It’s a fact that children Astral Project more than adults. The
reason is that children are innocent and they believe everything
is possible. So they achieve Astral Projection more easily.

But we adults do not believe everything easily. The sooner we
can be open-minded and start believing, the easier it would be
to Project. But age, in itself, is never a roadblock for
Projection. The only hindrance is your level of belief.

Myth 5 : Astral Projection is not safe.
Truth : Astral Projection is a natural experience reported in
every culture and society of the world. It is safe for most
people. But anyone who has acute psychological problems should
avoid it.

Myth 6 : It takes several years to achieve a conscious Astral
Projection.
Truth : Since every individual is different, no one can
guarantee how long it can take. Some achieve it in the first try
and others do not achieve it even in two years! But if tried
consistently, about 30 days is a fair enough time to experience
at least one projection.

Myth 7 : It is possible that you may not be able to get back
into the physical body.
Truth : You see, every night when we sleep, our Astral body is
out of our physical body. We are just not conscious about it.
During Astral Projection, we are aware of the fact that we’re in
another dimension. Since after every night’s sleep we can easily
get back into the body, we can do the same after Astral
Projection too

The surprising fact is that it is difficult to stay out of the
body. Getting back into your body is instant and automatic. Your
Astral Body is connected to your physical body by a Silver Cord,
which ensures that you can always get back in

Myth 8 : You can get possessed during Astral Projection.
Truth : This is a very common question in most people’s minds.
No. There is no danger of you being possessed by other entities.
Your Astral Body is attached to your physical body by a Silver
Cord. No one else can sever it and enter your body.

Myth 9 : Astral Projection changes a person’s religious
beliefs.
Truth : Published in 1992, there was an in-depth study of 350
participants done by Dr.Melvin Morse. According to that study,
Out-of-body experiences did not seem to alter one’s religious
beliefs. In fact, most people reported that their religious
beliefs have been confirmed and strengthened by their
out-of-body experiences.

Myth 10 : You cannot go very far when out of the body?
Truth : There is no limit defined as to how far you can go away
from the physical body. But it is important to note that there
are certain areas that you do not readily have access to unless
you have spiritually graduated to those areas. There are several
planes apart from the Astral Plane. You cannot visit a higher
vibratory plane in a lower vibratory body.

Myth 11 : There is no cord that connects the Astral and the
Physical bodies.
Truth : There is definitely a Silver Cord that connects the two
bodies. You may or may not be able to see it, but it is always
there. Even the Bible talks about it.

Through the Silver Cord, transference of energy takes place and
it gives life to the physical. As long as the person is alive,
this cord is intact. It can be likened to the umbilical cord
attaching a child to the mother.

Myth 12 : Other Astral entities sever the Silver Cord.
Truth : No. The Silver Cord cannot be severed by anyone. This
only happens when the hour of death has arrived to a person and
that comes by law.

Myth 13. The Astral Plane is full of dangerous negative entities
Truth : Yes, there are negative entities in the Astral Plane but
they are not dangerous.
They can do no harm to you in any way.

Remember, in the Astral, your thoughts have power. If you
don’t like something, you can always change them into
something you want. By not being afraid, you can make these
entities vanish or turn them into something more pleasant.

If any of these entities do scare you, at the most you will
slump back in your physical.

Many of these negative entities are self-created. They are
nothing but manifestations of our own fears that appear as
thought-forms. In order to avoid bumping into any of these
entities, you should attempt Projection in a good mood. The rule
in the Astral Plane is: Like attracts like. If you are in a
negative or bad mood, you will attract negative thought-forms.
But if you Project with positive and loving thoughts, you will
most likely attract positive and loving entities.

Myth 14 : When a person wakes up after Projection, he feels
really tired.
Truth : During Astral Projection, the physical body sleeps
normally, so when you wake up, you feel very refreshed.

Myth 15 : We cannot touch objects in the Astral.
Truth : Yes, you can touch and feel Astral objects on the
Astral, just as you can touch physical ones in the Physical
Plane. But in the Astral, under normal circumstances, you cannot
touch Physical objects. If you attempt, your hand will pass right
through it. That’s why you have heard that your Astral body can
pass through walls!

Myth 16 : It is necessary to be good at visualization.
Truth : Visualization is not a necessary ingredient for
Projection. But if the Projector can increase his ability to
visualize it will help him progress faster.

Myth 17 : Drugs be used to help induce Projection
Truth : Some kinds of Drugs do induce projection. But I do not
recommend any kinds of drugs because they harm your Astral
vehicle.

The key to a productive out-of-body experience is complete
control and control is the first thing lost when you use any
kind of mind-altering substance. Drugs curtail your spiritual
growth. They take you to the lower Astral Plane full of
confusion and disorientation. It is dull, gloomy, and full of
negative energy. The lower Astral is very unlike the vibrant,
progressive, positive Astral we are seeking to achieve.

Why contaminate the biological vehicle when effective results
can be achieved naturally? Don’t put your body at risk. If there
is real desire to experience Astral Projection then that desire,
along with consistent practice will get you there.

Myth 18 : It is impossible to meet with other human beings
during Projection
Truth : That’s not true. It is possible to meet other human
beings. But if you want to talk them meaningfully, they should
be conscious. If we find them and they are dreaming they will
look drunk! They may not recognize us but later when they awake,
they may remember seeing us in a dream.

Myth 19 : When we are Astral Projecting, by taking the name of a
friend, say “John”, by mistake we can visit some other person
by the same name “John”.
Truth : In the Astral, your thoughts are the key to where you
want to go. Your higher self knows whom you want to visit and
take you to the correct person. Here, the name of the person
doesn’t matter at all. Since you are thinking of that person,
you will reach there.

Myth 20 : Astral projection doesn’t prove life after death.
Truth : People, who have experienced proper conscious OOBE even
once, start to strongly believe in life after death. Finding
themselves outside their physical bodies and still functioning,
still able to see, hear, touch, even smell and taste, still able
to do everything and more, how can anyone deny that life goes on?
