Hi Kennaskennas said:I wrote my final year 12 essay on Astral Projection. he he.
Also known as dream travelling, or soul travelling, surprise surprise. And at the time I tried it, I thought it worked!!
Ultimately, it's about controlling your dreams and having the conscious, subconscious ability to direct your dreams as you are in them. I got to the point where I could dream about just about anything I wanted but didn't get to the control bit.
Many people have dramas with the concept because once your spirit or soul is travelling about the astral plane your body can be possessed!! Or, the line holding your soul to your body can be cut. This was one early explanation for cot death believe it or not, because a babies line was not strong enough to hold the soul.
Obviously, I have my doubts about this ability, these days.

Aren't there more productive topics for our imaginative energies? How about a thread on world peace or something.
Bobby said:Kennas,
I do enjoy your posts, as your examining the real realm of life.
To reap knowledge be open to it ! ( well done )
Sad that the inconsequenceals will just follow others dogma.
I think of it as a constipation of thought.
Bob.

It,s Lao Tzu translated using modern language (including a few swear words) without losing it's philosophical import.

Your post is a classic case of proselytization (i do believe I spelt it right this time) by ridicule and belittling.
How does one truly know whether ones own thinking is constipated or not? All of us believe the others is so. It is common for Atheists and evolutionists to believe themselves intellegent and scientific, and therefore all others as infantile dullards and "inconsequentials". This is invariably accompanied by self-congratulation of the "intellectual" elite... or pseudo versions thereof.
I do believe that by there own petards, they are hoisted.
Is not the blind acceptance of scientific "dogma" constipation of thought? Believe you me, scientific endeavour, particularly in the the field of evolutionary biology, is absolutely riddled with assumptions taken on little more than blind faith, and presented as fact... subsequently only to have facts embarressingly disproven.
More than likely, my post will be interpreted as supporting one viewpoint over the other. But this is not the case. Just pointing out that the "open minded" usually aren't so open minded.
Some of the most celebrated scientists of our time are also the most arrogantly narrow in their view. Possibly the most well known evolutionary biologist alive today (who shall remain nameless as his name is most likely considered holy) is the chief transgressor IMO.
Cheers

He used the words "I think", merely opinion of kennas' thoughts. Not Proselytization! Of course that is my opinion on it and I don`t mean to proselytize
