If you have friends who can astral-project...you should get them to shoot over and spy on Atwell so you can get the real scoop on what's going on over there. Let me guess "It doesn't work that way."

Well, you know you got to stick to your guns

Cause sometimes you can't choose
It's like heads they win

Win big--Mama's fallen angel
Lose big--livin' out of lies
Wants it all--Mama's fallen angel
Lose it all, rollin' the dice of her life...
Okay Bret Michaels. I guess I'll be CC DeVille.

No, you're thinking of anal-projecting...

I saw them, Cinderella, and Tesla a few years back and my then GF caught Ricky Rocket's drum stick. I should have stolen it after we broke up, to go along with my collection. Damnit!

Hey NoJobRob, I didn’t start the thread, but I know quite a bit about the subject and I don’t have a problem discussing it. I know people who would never even think of engaging people regarding it. And perhaps that’s why a lot of people are not aware of the 10 to 14% of the population who have had or regularly have out of body experiences; which is also known as astral projection.

It’s attitudes like your post above, Theone, that may hold people back from sharing their out of body experiences with others.

The argument is not pointless. And they have scientifically proven that people do have out of body experiences.

You may not know what happens when you die, but ask anyone who has left their body if they have any idea about it.

I think you mean they have pseudo-scientifically quasi-documented people having OBE's...

It's like saying they "scientifically proven" that there are ghosts in a haunted mansion.

My statement was neutral. I took no sides. I in no way stated my personal beliefs in this matter, so get off my back. Jesus...

Don't they have photo software that photographs auras, or the energy which we emit? I would think that they do. And that leads me to believe that the powers that be, have already proven astral projection. Now whether or not they want to share that information with the 86 to 90% of the population of that is totally unaware that they leave their body, is a different story.

out of body experiences are scientifically proven? lmfao... the only thing that there is scientific proof of is that hallucinations are produced by one of two things, drugs and/or mental illness...

No. As I said, there are a wide range of circumstances that can produce such phenomena. For example, these experiences are fairly common in hospitals under the influence of anesthesia, and sleep deprivation can also produce similar effects.

You might be surprised, actually -- they've been documented as real neural events. Of course, there has never been any evidence to suggest that people's minds actually leave their bodies, or any other silly New Age mumbo jumbo; rather, we have simply exposed a peculiarity of the human brain.

an out of body experience sounds like a hallucination to me...

wonder what Jimmi Hendrix meant when he asked 'are you experienced?'

Theone, have you ever felt suddenly paralyzed while preparing to go to sleep? Has that ever happened to you?
