Of Robert Monroe knows what this is.

There are people who can do this at will. I can’t, but haven’t tried very hard. By “do this”, I mean learn how to get your consciousness to leave your body and go “places.” There is a forum at Reddit called astral projection where you can read about their experiences.

In reference to some of the first posts on this thread,, there is also a sub-Reddit called Gateway. The Gateway tapes are mental exercises that Monroe created and tested that shortcut the meditation or focus exercises that are part of being able to astral project. Our CIA used them.

Monroe has three books out. It helps to have read them before reading the experiences of people experimenting with consciousness leaving the body.

Some people cannot fathom how this works and are dependent on science to prove this to them. Science is too slow for me, so I’ve had to look elsewhere for my answers.

Sounds like pure pseudo science to me. The senses are useless without the processing of sensory information Martin68 Jun 2024 #6
I'd say the same thing if it hadn't been tested, verified, and replicated. Warpy Jun 2024 #7
Olfactory signals are meaningless until processed by the brain. The same goes for sensory information from the eyes, Martin68 Jun 2024 #9

Well, we're made of sub-atomic particles and observing sub-atomic particles changes their behavior. Uncle Joe Jun 2024 #15
It's as good as any and will impress pople who can't name a sub atomic particle. Warpy Jun 2024 #16
Instinct resides in the brain. Martin68 Jun 2024 #17
Yes. However from which sense; does the brain receive the "being watched" information Uncle Joe Jun 2024 #18
I assume instinct coordinates information from all the senses in addition to memories from relevant experiences Martin68 Jun 2024 #19
Except that it seems more primordial to me as the heaviest demographic experiencing Uncle Joe Jun 2024 #20
modern science is still in it's infancy. cynical_idealist Jun 2024 #8
In many ways that's true, but it certainly is less of an infancy than it was 100 years ago, not to mention 2,000 years Martin68 Jun 2024 #10
