Astral Projection for Beginners: Spiritual Growth and Personal Development, #2

Introduction

When we look at ourselves in the mirror, we see an imperfect human being. A past riddled with so-called mistakes. We cannot seem to control an ever-changing future, and the existential dread of mortality creeping closer, resting its hand on our shoulder.

And that is all before we even drink our first cup of coffee in the morning.

When thinking of astral projection, many people immediately think of how it has been presented in popular films and television shows, which is not always accurate. Sometimes they do get it right and portray it as accurately as possible. However, the meaning behind it is left out, painting a bleak and colorless image of what astral travel and projection really is.

This book will discuss what astral projection really is, not merely skimming over the details, leaving you with more questions than what you had before starting this book.

Well, that is not entirely true, I suppose. Yes, after reading this book, your questions regarding astral travel will be answered sufficiently, leaving you with more knowledge than what you came here with. But, knowledge craves knowledge, and when someone learns something new, they want to apply that knowledge to everyday life. Think back to when you first started to absorb the infinite wisdom that is the subject of mathematics. You could not wait to gain more of it. That is until you began to realize that mathematics is not quite that simple. You most likely became discouraged, while some became more intrigued.

This is most likely due to the teacher, or even simply because you are not as interested as that one smart kid who seemed to be a math whiz. However, one of the main reasons we act this way is simply because we are inherently very narrow-minded when approaching a new subject, curious maybe. Still, we are terrified of something contradicting that which we believe to be the truth or absolute. This is not your fault. We are raised to think of a specific set of rules and regulations popularly known as that’s life.

We have been raised with preconceived ideas of what life is supposed to be, ideas passed down from parent to child, from media to consumer, from religion to follower. Taking a step back from normal life can sometimes provide you with the perspective needed for dealing with everyday problems you might be facing or answering questions you could not find the answer to from the daily walk of normal life.

This is why I will ask you now to have an open mind, not just when reading this book, but when dealing with any new subject matter, you might be presented with in the future. I am not asking you to completely disregard all you have been taught through life and blindly believe in what you read, ending up disastrous in many scenarios. I am asking you to simply suspend your beliefs and/or teachings temporarily. When a new subject matter is presented to you, be it through debate or learning materials, it will help you gain a new perspective more easily.
