RE: My Experience With Sleep Paralysis
Cool, I'll check them out. You mentioned you were into astral projection in the post, so I just meant that since they're the same thing, why not just practice lucid dreaming without the presuppositions that a lot of the astral beliefs require. I feel it kind of detracts from the gravity of the state. Just my opinion, though.
No yeah I totally get it. You leave your body every night. Lucid dreaming is just being conscious in your subconscious. When I refer to "astral travel" I just mean being conscious in the astral world and not just in your own subconscious mind.
I feel the other way around. Basically there's no real reason to believe in leaving the body as you can easily, empirically disprove it yourself. In my view, if they follow the same process and one doesn't hold more possibilities than the other, they're most likely an experience in the mind alone. Certain drugs can induce the feeling of leaving the body, which I think points to it being psychological/neurochemical in nature.
But would you agree that whether it be the "astral" or your "mind" that they both equally stem from the same energy and God-consciousness?
I mean, I think they are the same, but that they both are just consciousness interacting with itself in the closed system inside your skull. In my view, and I think there's good evidence to believe this, the brain is a meat computer and not connected to some sort of ether, energy, or god.
