I think, I'm starting to understand a bit of this astral projection business. I remember taking in two breaths, I was scared to, I was inhaling demons, or something. Something that was necessary for me to be aware of both worlds, that is, the physical and the astral. A catalyst? An inhibitor?
I was absolutely still under the covers, I could hear the people who live in my house go about their routines, and at the same time I was somewhere else. I would check on my body, and knew that I was projecting properly. Although, not with full control.
When you're in that plane, you are both the watched and the watcher. That is, you can see yourself, what is around you, and you can see from your own perspective. You have no set place in the astral plane, you are wherever you imagine you are. Dream of something and you can experience it through every sense.
That is why, I think, that astral projection is first and foremost, an explorative activity. One which goes beyond the five senses and incorporates, a sixth sense, if you will, one which feels by way of the astral body.
In that place all types of learning are available to you. Things that you may never be exposed to in the physical world you can experience in the astral, and if you're disciplined enough, you can retain that experience to use in the physical world.
The mind never sleeps, it is always learning, always active. If we can connect our consciousness to the material explored by our projections, or better yet, direct our astral body to learn things that we designate, imagine the possibilities then.
I will sleep with a pen and paper more often and see what else I can learn. Perhaps I'm crazy, but psychology has taught us that something can be learned in dreams. I simply believe that there's a lot more possibilities than that.
