15 Reasons Why You Should Learn Astral Projection

15 Reasons Why You Should Learn Astral Projection
By Abhishek Agarwal

People often wonder as to what possible benefits one can get through Astral Projection or Out-of-body-experiences. Let us look at some them:

1. Fly and have fun!
In the Astral world even the sky is NOT the limit. You can fly way beyond the blue skies. Or glide through the air or float like a balloon. Want to have a bird's eye view of our city? No problem! Or maybe jump off mountains and somersault in mid-air! Imagine being able to glide over the ocean like a seagull, or dive inside and swim like a fish!

If you want you can even propel out into the infinite space and explore the planets, heavenly bodies and other distant galaxies. We can visit any city on this planet and other planets as well. We can go and check out friends in another corner of the world!

2. Confirmed belief in life after death
A fully conscious Astral Projection gives us the ability to obtain firsthand knowledge that we can exist outside our bodies. It provides us irrefutable personal evidence that we are immortal.

If it is possible for our consciousness to exist outside our body, then it is also possible that our consciousness survives physical death. This belief removes fear of death completely. It reassures us that there is life after death and you absolutely know that you continue after kicking the bucket!

3. Get glimpses of your past life and know your purpose of existence
As we experience more and more Projections, we start getting glimpses of our past lives. These memories aid in finding our purpose of existence.

The information gained can help us know ourselves better. We can overcome certain traumas and cure certain illnesses. We get a sense of universalism, the feeling of which is ecstatic.

We expand self-awareness, increase our level of maturity, and also accelerate our spiritual evolution.

4. Meeting Guides
Through Astral Projection you can meet your Spiritual Guide who can be a source of inspiration and also help you evolve spiritually.

5. Learning
All sorts of hidden knowledge can be acquired through Astral Projection knowledge that cannot be acquired in every day life. You can learn about ourselves, about our Earth, the Universe, or about anything else. You can meet advanced enlightened beings, even from distant ancient traditions, and learn from them. You can even attend esoteric schools and temples and learn about the mysteries of life and death...

6. Increase Psychic Abilities
Regular Out of body experiences enhances your paranormal and psychic abilities such as clairvoyance, ESP, precognition, telepathy, premonitions, prophecy, the ability to see auras and many other psychic abilities. This is a natural result because we become more in tune with our internal energy systems and also become sensitive to universal energies.

7. Personal development and well-being
Through Astral Projection we become better in all spheres of life.

We have a sense of overall well-being, increase in self-confidence, control of stress, emotional balance, heightening of intellectual capacities, and expansion of self-knowledge. Out-of-body experiences help us to break free from old mental ruts and habits. We get a more enlightened perspective of our current existence and this expansive vision is instrumental in awakening new levels of personal growth and understanding.

The recognition that we are more than just physical beings, gives us firm belief that we are capable of much more than previously imagined. Once we consciously control our non-physical self, we can unlock the unlimited knowledge of our subconscious and harness our ability to explore the universe.

8. A reduction in hostility and increased respect for life
Those who have experienced an OOBE, realize that they continue after death. The also become aware that along with their consciousness, their personal responsibility also continues. Hence many feel that harboring hostility towards other fellow souls can be very self-destructive.

Due to the personal knowledge obtained concerning our spiritual interconnection,Astral Projectors seem to start detesting violence and killing.

9. Experience tranquility
Many Astral Projectors report feeling at peace with themselves and others. They develop an inner tranquility that is hard to describe.

10. An increased desire for answers
Astral Projection often sets people on a personal spiritual quest to solve the mysteries they have held since childhood. Questions like - What are we? What is our purpose? Do we continue? These questions and many more can be answered only through personal experience. Out-of-body exploration helps us to obtain the answers we seek.

11. Meet deceased loved ones
We can meet our loved ones who have left the physical plane. These meetings are very helpful because we can request for their guidance and healing.

12. An increased zest for life
There is a certain excitement inherent in Out-Of-Body exploration because by exploring the non-physical realms, we become the ultimate explorers. Life itself becomes an adventure, an exciting journey of discovery. Every Projection is an opportunity to experience a new adventure. This inner excitement also stems from the fact that we are blazing a path much ahead of our time.

13. Increased knowledge, wisdom and intelligence
Only experience creates wisdom. Out-of-body experiences provide knowledge and wisdom far beyond the limits of our physical perceptions. This knowledge is first hand and is not imposed by other teachings and beliefs.

Many people also report that their out-of-body experiences have enhanced their awareness and intelligence.

14. Increased Spirituality
Many Astral Projectors report meaningful insights into their spiritual nature. Instead of viewing themselves as Physical beings possessing a soul, many start to recognize themselves as soul temporarily possessing a Physical body. There is a feeling of connection to something far greater than them.

15. Healing
With the knowledge and control acquired through Out-of-Body experiences, we learn to utilize our own energies in favor of other beings. We can heal others, and ourselves mentally and physically.

Those were just a few of the advantages of Astral Projection. There are many more. You can find everything about Astral Projection in my free eBook on the topic. Best wishes!

It Takes Two to Tangle Relationship and Projections

It Takes Two to Tangle; Relationship and Projections
By William L. Smith Ph. D.

Relationships are often much more complex than we think they are or wish them to be. Relationships, especially intimate relations, bring out our unmet needs, anxieties, and unresolved conflicts with individuals from our past; parents, caretakers, friends, and former relationships.

The relationship with our partners are influenced by our own personal histories. In which case, we sometime we react with our partners as if they were someone else, ant too often this causes conflict in the relationship. In highly-charged relationships we expect love, nurturance, and validation for being who we are. A primary relationship, we usually assume, should provide a safe environment in which we are cherish by our partners for expressing our own unique qualities. Why is this simple expectation so difficult to achieve?

The reason may be that how we perceive our partners are colored how we learned to interact with other people in the past. This learning process often begin in early childhood, as early as infancy. In fact, our earliest attachment to a caretaker, a mother, a father, or another adult can influence how we deal with other people for our entire lifetime.

If our earliest experiences, for example, taught us to have a healthy trust the world we are more likely to take a trusting attitude toward other people throughout our lives. On the other hand, however, if a child was never shown love and trust during early stages of life, it would be a challenge as an adult to learn how to experience love; this may include loving ones self.

Traveling the path of individual development we are exposed to both good and bad experiences, love and trust feels comfortable to us and produce a positive self-image...and a positive way of defining ourselves as we grow into adulthood. The bad experiences cause feelings of conflicts and frustrations. These negative experiences become an element of self-definition that the individual is developing. However, these negative feelings are incompatible with the more positive feelings. Therefore, according to psycho-dynamic theory, the individual projects these negative feelings into someone else. For example, accuse your partner of being controlling when in fact you are the one who have the need to feel in control.

Projections

According to psychoanalysis, projection is the unconscious mechanism where one's own faults are seen in other persons' rather than in one's own personality. In other systems of psychology, projection is the act of objectifying what is actually a subjective or internal experience. What is important to keep in mind is that we project our own negative feelings into another person. This is especially true in intimate relationship. If, for instance, one partner have an issue with jealousy that individual will project the feelings of jealousy into the other partner. In other words, if we feel unable to correct the problem in ourselves, so we focus on the problem in the other person. The solution to this is to become aware of the process of projection and understand how it affects you personally.

Often couples experiencing conflict in their relationship, projections could be the root-cause of the problem. For example, if we are living with our own conflicts and are unable to make any advance in understanding them, we may be psychologically-motivated to look for the problem in the other person. In fact, on an unconscious level, we may actually seek out partners who have the qualities that we find problematic within ourselves. If we are unable or unwilling to assert ourselves we will get angry and frustrated with other people for taking advantage of us...yet, we may select partners who do just that, people who dominate and abuse us. However, our partners may not see themselves as domineering nor abusive, but because we need to work out our own problems with these issues, we will search for these qualities in the other person.

In other words, psychologically, the partners are bound to each other by a mutural agreement, a largely unconscious acceptance of each other. Sharing the same images and unconscious fantasies creates as much an emotional basis for mutual attraction and passionate attachment as it does for conflict within the couple. Therefore, the mutual unconscious agreement lying at the core of the couple's relationship may become an infrastructure for mutual resistance. These common unconscious biases are easily discernible through all quarrels and arguments. The latent conjunction or agreement between partners often becomes obvious only after a long therapeutic process.

In the absence of therapeutic interventions, the healthier option is when projections are causing relationship conflicts is to increase your awareness of your own internal conflicts and how you project these conflicts into your partner. When we have awareness of the problem we can understand the many ways it influences our behavior, awareness give us some control over the problem. As a result, we can than try out new ways to deal with people.

Finally, it is important to understand that projections are not at the root of every problem that couples experience. In the real world, sometimes the other person does indeed have a real problem that can lead to an abusive situation. In such case, it is not advisable to try to understand it as a projection, but to see it for what it truly is and to take appropriate actions to change the situation.

Home Theater LCD Projectors

Home Theater LCD Projectors
By Jason Gluckman

The most important aspects of a home LCD projector are its feasibility and efficiency, combined with its usefulness. Compared to the CRT projectors, an LCD chip is amazingly small. An LCD projector is also a viable option in terms of power consumption, which is quite low.

LCD home theater projectors are ideal for business presentations, since they operate successfully in rooms where light is inadequate. An LCD projector is also the most viable and admirable choice for home theater use. One of the key features that make LCD projectors popular is that they are reasonably priced compared to CRT types.

However, the home theater LCD projector is not free from limitations. An LCD projector can frequently display \the screen door effect\. As the screen consists of separate pixels, the pixels can be evident on a big screen, thereby giving the illusion of seeing the image through a \screen door\.

An LCD chip consists of a section of different pixels, and in the event of one pixel burning out it presents an irritating black or white blotch on the projected image. Separate pixels cannot be restored, and if a single pixel burns out or the number is greater, the complete chip has to be changed.

One of the crucial factors that should be given adequate emphasis is the fact that the LCD light source in an LCD projector must be substituted from time to time according to the use of the projector. The ideal time to effect the necessary change should be after every 1,000 to 2,000 hours of use. However, the cost can be quite high, going up to a few hundred dollars. Changing the bulb also has its own advantages, since a fresh lamp refreshes the brightness and contrast, and the user can fit bulbs without much difficulty.

How DLP Projectors Work?

How DLP Projectors Work?
By Paul Cris

DLP (Digital Light Processing) projectors can be attached with computers, DVD players, VCR players, HDTVs and video games. It comes in various models and with enhanced features. DLP Projectors are also called as Multimedia projectors.

In mid 1990s Texas Instruments developed Digital Light Processing. DLP technology is based on DMD or Digital Micromirror Device. It is a switch, which controls the intensity, and placement of projected light via 4,80,000 mirrors. In a DLP-based display there are unlimited colors. You can control the saturation and clarity to make bright video as clear as you want. The DMD is coordinated with a graphic signal, a light source and a projection lens.

The micromirrors of DLP are fixed on a panel of small pivots, which enable them to slant either way. If it slants towards (on) light source it creates bright pixels on the screen and when it slants the other way (off) it creates darker pixels. When the bit-stream image code enters the semiconductor, the semi conductor directs the switch to on or off. If the switch remains on more times than off, it reflects a light gray pixel. Otherwise it reflects darker gray pixel.

In DLP systems white light is passed through a color wheel and it runs to the surface of the DMD panel. The color wheel converts the white light into red, green and blue. From these three colors a DMD chip can create 16.7 million colors. So a 3-DMD chip DLP system can create a mammoth 35 trillion colors. Then our eyes understand these colors and see an image.
