Stumbled upon this article that’s kinda neat. It’s an interview with an astral projection teacher. A great read for anyone who’s new to out of body experiences (OBEs) and astral projecting.
From silver cords to flying dreams, this article covers quite some ground.
If any of you have ever astral projected, had an OBE, or are thinking about doing this, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Drop a comment below and throw in your 2 cents.
Astral Projection: You Can Do It Too
Everyone can have an out-of-body experience, says expert Jerry Gross – in fact, you probably have. In this interview, Gross explains OBEs, what happens and how to begin your adventure>
When noted out-of-body teacher and practitioner Jerry Gross wants to travel long distances, he doesn’t bother with the time and expense of catching a plane. He just uses a different kind of plane, and travels there astrally – unless, of course, he is teaching one of his many classes and workshops on astral projection, also known as OBE or out-of-body experience.
According to Gross, the ability to leave the body has been with him since childhood. Yet, rather than regarding this as a special gift, he believes that this is an inherent ability that can be developed by anyone. In the following article, Gross discusses the out-of-body experience with freelance writer and former workshop participant Sandy Jones.
Jones: What is astral projection? How would you describe it?
Gross: Astral projection is the ability to leave your body. Everyone leaves their body at night, but before they do leave, they have to put the physical mind to sleep. Most people don’t remember this, but when the physical mind is asleep, the subconscious takes over, and this is usually when you do your astral projection. In other words, everybody does it, but they just don’t remember doing it.
Jones: What is your earliest recollection of doing this? What was it like?
Gross: I can remember doing this clear back to when I was about four years old. I never lost the ability to astral project, and kept it throughout my whole life now. Everyone is born with this ability. If you think back, you can probably recall having dreams of being somewhere, but as you got older, you lost the ability. What I’m trying to teach is that you can do this at will.
Jones: In those days, astral projection was almost unheard of. Did you ever tell anyone about it? How did they react?
Gross: It was strange for me because at that age, I thought everybody did it. I used to talk about it, until it kind of got out of hand, and when I started getting into trouble with it, I went to my grandmother, who could do it too. She told me not everyone could do it, so it would be best not to talk about it, and to come to here if I wanted to talk about it. So throughout all my life, most of my experiences with astral projection were kept a secret, except for her.
