This is why I suggested that there are answers to these questions in the Bible. It is possible that when Moses fasted for 40 days and saw the Lord that this was through astral projection. Most people know that starvation is a form of trauma in MK ultra for a similar reason. Dehydration is said to cause hallucinations. There is no way to know for sure whether something is a hallucination or not though. It might be more of a spiritual experience.
Like the scenario of seeing an oasis in a desert. Does seeing an oasis in a desert cause a person to feel alleviated of the sensation of dehydration in order to survive? So is it really a hallucination or is it a spiritual response to the survival of the body that found a way to disconnect from the sensation of thirst or astrally project on a certain level? It will be different for everyone.
So the experience will be different for everyone and there is a lot of junk information about this kind of stuff out there. Most people don't actually astral project without someone else trying to control the outcome and inducing the situation. When someone does this, there is the potential to gain some control over it, but it's not really worth it considering how you got there.
So I agree with what
@colson was saying about the vanity of astral projection. Almost like the effort to accomplish this creates a sort of caste system on the one hand. A person should want to be separate from most of what is taught about this subject on the internet and I wasn't kidding when I said that fasting was a good way to get farther if you actually want to accomplish this independently. It is probably the safest way to be completely independent and not controlled by anyone in the process.
I think most people have very basic questions about this sort of thing that can be very simply answered. Is astral projection real, yes. What can you do when you astrally project, not much because you are subject to a whole new set of laws. It is like the ocean that is controlled by tides and there is no way to change this. That is how this world is. It is controlled by some of the laws we are familiar with. A basic one to recognize is that energy is neither created or destroyed in this world. This will still mean something if you astral project, but many other things won't, which is why it will be so hard for most people to astrally project without some form of inducement.
Picture if you will the sense of touch being gone. That is a difficult sensory experience to go without in reality and it is gone in the astral world. Touch is replaced in a way that is strange. So picture typing on the keyboard and close your eyes. Your fingers are communicating if you will. The sense is externally centered in your hands. In reality, there are a million messages being sent to you brain and back, but typing does not seem to noticeably require your thoughts.
So touch in the astral world is different because as I bet you can imagine, you will not be able to press a key on a keyboard. So what will you do without this ability? There are things you can do, but who will show these things. This is where you can end up getting into trouble because being in this place is like trying to learn to walk on water by yourself. It is not an easy or quick understanding that will take place and it is where many people will finally give up because of this, with sometimes very minimal damage.
Also KM, I just want you to know when I say you, I am saying this in a general way and not actually saying you like you are wanting to do this.
