Here I would like to cover briefly “Altered States of Consciousness” as this is the goal of all meditation, yoga and martial arts, in fact, all eastern practices. One must enter into an altered state of consciousness in order to experience any of the following. So, I felt a clear understanding of what exactly that entails was advised.
An altered state of consciousness is a brain state wherein one loses the sense of identity with one’s body or with one’s normal sense perceptions. A person may enter an altered state of consciousness through such things as sensory deprivation or overload, neurochemical imbalance, fever, or trauma. One may also achieve an altered state by chanting, meditating, entering a trance state, or ingesting psychedelic drugs. Source:
As you can see, a person loses connection to self/thought. In this state, one becomes totally open to the influence and presence of any entity that comes along. At this point, one enters into spiritual realms and experiences about which they likely do not know anything, and are not prepared to protect or defend oneself.

There are 5 subtle bodies In astral projection the conscious mind leaves the physical body and moves into the astral body to experience. In astral projection, you remain attached to your physical body by a ‘silver umbilical type cord’. Some people are able to see the cord when astral projecting.
The Subtle Body in Theosophy
While the Eastern esoteric traditions emphasize a single subtle body (apart from the Vedantic concept of five koshas), in the West (beginning with Neoplatonism) the emphasis has often been on a series of subtle bodies or vehicles (okhema) of consciousness. This reached its most detailed and systematic account in the writings of C.W. Leadbeater and Annie Besant, who established the Adyar School of Theosophy. They described in detail the seven bodies and established many of the themes that would be canonical in “new age” thought. The sequence of bodies or “vehicles” is as follows (from densest to most subtle):
- Dense physical body
- Etheric body
- Astral or emotional body
- Mental body (concrete mind)
- Causal body (abstract mind)
Astral projection (or astral travel) is an interpretation of an out-of-body experience (OBE) that assumes the existence of an “astral body” separate from the physical body and capable of traveling outside it. Astral projection or travel denotes the astral body leaving the physical body to travel in an astral plane. The idea of astral travel is rooted in common worldwide religious accounts of the afterlife in which the consciousness’ or soul’s journey, or “ascent”, is described in such terms as “an… out-of-body experience, wherein the spiritual traveler leaves the physical body and travels in his/her subtle body (or “dreambody”, or “astral body”) into ‘higher’ realms.” It is frequently reported in association with dreams, and forms of meditation.
Some patients have reported perceptions similar to the descriptions of astral projection, induced through various hallucinogenic and hypnotic (including self-hypnotic) means. There is no scientific evidence that there is any manifestation of a consciousness or soul which is separate from neural activity. There is no scientific evidence that one can consciously leave the body and make observations. Claims of scientific evidence of astral projection are pseudoscientific. Source: Wikipedia

Hinduism and Buddhism both have the tradition of initiation where a disciple accepts an individual as a guru and joins a lineage which in some ways is like a family.
Conscious Transitions Out of the Body:
The most dramatic method of leaving the body is to go directly from a waking state into the inner world. This usually happens during meditation but may happen spontaneously while relaxing, such as while lying in bed.
Waking Up in a Dream (Lucid Dreaming):
By far the most common method of spiritual travel occurs when the traveler “wakes up” in a dream. The sense of waking up brings with it a kind of excitement which is accompanied by a feeling of increased awareness, self-determination, and concentration. It is also usually accompanied by a wonderful sense of freedom and possibility. The traveler feels himself to be free of the limitations of the physical body.
Bilocation or Alternating Awareness of Inner and Outer Environments:
An unusual form of spiritual travel involves the ability to shift back and forth between the outer world of the senses, and a separate inner reality. Doing this at sufficient speed makes the spiritual traveler capable of being in touch with two separate realities, or seemingly in two places at once- thus the term bilocation. To control this ability requires a great deal of skill, and such control usually only occurs in advanced practitioners.spacer

Major breakthrough as scientists confirm out of body experiences are REAL
SCIENTISTS have confirmed that out of body experiences are real after placing study participants in a brain scanner and making them think they were on the other side of the room.
Scienctists have confirmed that out of body experiences are real
A breakthrough study in Sweden has shown that out of body experiences are real. Medical experts have debated for some time whether it is real, but a breakthrough study has seemed to confirm the existence of the phenomenon.
Neuroscientists from Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet created an out-of-body illusion when they placed study participants in a brain scanner, and used an illusion to ‘teleport’ the individuals to different locations in a room.
roof of life after death? ‘Spirit’ caught on camera on home CCTV system
EXTRAORDINARY footage of a “ball of energy” captured on a home CCTV system has gone viral online.
YouTube The orb as it was captured in a still from the video.
The strange video, which shows an object that appears to display intelligent movement, has sparked a debate about what it could be.
The clip, that has been viewed thousands of times, was filmed on the front drive of a home in Peru, South America, on August 5.
Some viewers believe the glowing orb could be a spirit of a dead human being or even the initial manifestation of a ghost.
But others have even tried linking the capture to aliens and UFOs.
The 15 individuals involved wore head-mounted displays and viewed themselves and the brain scanner from another part of the room.On the display, the individuals could see the body of a stranger in the foreground and themselves in the background, protruding from the brain scanner.They scientists would then prod the participants with an object at the same time they saw the strangers body being prodded on the display.
GETTYPeople can experience an OBE
Arvid Guterstam, lead author of the present study, said: “In a matter of seconds, the brain merges the sensation of touch and visual input from the new perspective, resulting in the illusion of owning the stranger’s body and being located in that body’s position in the room, outside the participant’s physical body.”The scientists then used pattern recognition techniques to monitor brain activity and found that “the perceived self-location can be decoded from activity patterns in specific areas in the temporal and parietal lobes,” according to a press release.
GETTYThe scientists ‘teleported’ the individuals
Mr Guterstam added: “The sense of being a body located somewhere in space is essential for our interactions with the outside world and constitutes a fundamental aspect of human self-consciousness.“Our results are important because they represent the first characterisation of the brain areas that are involved in shaping the perceptual experience of the bodily self in space.”
An out-of-body experience (OBE or sometimes OOBE) is an experience that typically involves a feeling of floating outside one’s body and, in some cases, the feeling of perceiving one’s physical body as if from a place outside one’s body (autoscopy).
The term out-of-body experience was introduced in 1943 by George N. M. Tyrrell in his book Apparitions, and was adopted by researchers such as Celia Green and Robert Monroe as an alternative to belief-centric labels such as “astral projection“, “soul travel”, or “spirit walking”. OBEs can be induced by brain traumas, sensory deprivation, near-death experiences, dissociative and psychedelic drugs, dehydration, sleep, and electrical stimulation of the brain, among others. It can also be deliberately induced by some. One in ten people have an OBE once, or more commonly, several times in their life, Source: Wikipedia
About Remote Viewing
“Remote viewing is a mental ability whereby a person (a remote viewer) can describe impressions of, sketch, and model a target that is ‘remote’ from them and not available through their normal senses. Remote viewing is an intuitive ability related to being psychic, ESP or PSI.
Remote Viewing is a psychic skill originally developed and utilized as an operational intelligence gathering tool for the United States Military and Intelligence services from 1972 – 1995.” Source
A person trying to achieve an out-of-body experience in order to connect with spirits or the spirit world is practicing the occult. There are two forms of this. The first is called the “phasing” model, in which the person tries to find new spiritual truth by accessing a part of the mind that is “shut off” during everyday life. This practice is connected to Buddhism or postmodernism and the belief that enlightenment is achieved from looking within oneself. The other form, called the “mystical” model, is when the person tries to exit the body entirely, his/her spirit traveling to another plane that is not connected to the physical world at all.
Whatever sort of out-of-body experience we are talking about, the main point to remember is that an out-of-body experience will give us neither truth nor knowledge. If an involuntary out-of-body experience occurs in the life of a Christian, the best approach would be to consider it in the same category as a dream—interesting, perhaps, but not a source of truth. Christians are to find truth only in the words of God, as Jesus prays in John 17:17, “Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.” Source

Astral Projection: What’s Really Happening When U Do This?
‘Astrale seks’ is een veel voorkomende praktijk, geprezen en aangemoedigd binnen de New Age. Zijn OBE’s tekenen van geestelijke vooruitgang? En hoe zit het met ascentie?
Wat is ‘astrale projectie’?Astrale projectie is de praktijk van het moedwillig je geest of ziel loskoppelen van je lichaam, en rondreizen in een parallel spiritueel rijk, dat ‘het astrale rijk’ wordt genoemd. Dit is de naam, die wordt gegeven aan een onzichtbare dimensie recht boven ons.Wanneer een deel van jou je fysieke lichaam verlaat, terwijl je lichaam nog leeft, wordt dit ‘astrale projectie’ genoemd. Buiten het lichaam bestaat een persoon, theoretisch gezien, als een ontlichaamde ziel: het ‘astrale lichaam’, ook wel psychosoma genoemd.
Out of Body Experience (OBE)In die toestand ben je je volledig bewust, bijna als in een normale staat van bewustzijn, ook al is je fysieke lichaam misschien kilometers ver van je verwijderd en slaapt het nog. Deze ervaringen worden ook wel OBE’s (Out of Body Experiences), of uittredingservaringen genoemd, omdat ze de scheiding van ons bewustzijn en lichaam omvatten…
