physical experiences.
Astral projection implies an awakening to new states of
consciousness. It has far-reaching long-term consequences, such as
a much deeper understanding of reality, a more objective
perception in daily life, and a new sense of existence itself, which
has also famously led many to transcend their fear of death.
The term 'astral projection' is simply another way to describe an
out of body experience. The main difference is that the term 'out of
body experience' is more commonly used amongst conventional
discussions, including being recognised within medical
communities, especially when relating it to near-death experiences.
The term 'astral projection' is more widely used within spiritual
communities to describe the spiritual practice of consciously and
intentionally coming out of the body. In this book, we are
essentially studying how to have conscious out of body
experiences; so, the two terms are the same thing.
Astral projection also has the word 'Astral' in it, which denotes
what has been spiritually recognised for centuries as the plane that
exists parallel, or beyond, the physical plane. These planes are nonphysical, complex and multidimensional in nature, just as
consciousness is. There are some encouraging scientific
breakthroughs, especially amongst quantum physics, which seem
to be on the verge of discovering these planes or dimensions of
reality, which have also been recognised for centuries by several
spiritual communities and 'enlightened masters' in different
cultures and time periods. For example, modern quantum
physicists have suggested that there exists eleven dimensions.
Similarly, in esoteric teachings, which explore the ‘Kabbalah’, you
will find eleven dimensions of nature. However, we won't be
exploring the countless connections between modern scientific
breakthroughs of the non-physical and esoteric teachings; there is
much information on that already; you will find it if you wish to
seek it. If you have picked up this book, then I assume you already
