nah, either he was trippin on shrooms or he was just living a fantasy

watevs i doubt its ever gunna actually happen...or at least not till a LOOONG time

it's a certain type of meditation not future technology :sy:

It's actually possible to "rip" out of your body via a process known as wake induced lucid dreaming.

They didn't cover the lockout dates or extra baggage handling fees.

I had a 24 hour out of body experience once, but that was from taking 4 hits of acid at once. Was pretty fun til the trip wore off.

we have access to less than 50% of the human brain and we dont fully understand what our brains are capable of. i say astral projection exists

 

[NarutoVsGoku]

i believe people can do it.. some have claimed they can fly to the sky, see the stars, go to other deminsions etc...

Thats actually considered a myth that is very common. Different parts of our brain control different functions, and the myth of it only being partially used has absolutely no evidence, yet keeps going around and people just believe it for no reason.

Refutation

Neurologist Barry Gordon describes the myth as laughably false, adding, "we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all the time".[1] Neuroscientist Barry Beyerstein sets out seven kinds of evidence refuting the ten percent myth:[8]


Studies of brain damage: If 90% of the brain is normally unused, then damage to these areas should not impair performance. Instead, there is almost no area of the brain that can be damaged without loss of abilities. Even slight damage to small areas of the brain can have profound effects.

Evolution: The brain is enormously costly to the rest of the body, in terms of oxygen and nutrient consumption. It can require up to twenty percent of the body's energy—more than any other organ—despite making up only 2% of the human body by weight.[9][10] If 90% of it were unnecessary, there would be a large survival advantage to humans with smaller, more efficient brains. If this were true, the process of natural selection would have eliminated the inefficient brains. By the same token, it is also highly unlikely that a brain with so much redundant matter would have evolved in the first place.

Brain imaging: Technologies such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allow the activity of the living brain to be monitored. They reveal that even during sleep, all parts of the brain show some level of activity. Only in the case of serious damage does a brain have "silent" areas.

Localization of function: Rather than acting as a single mass, the brain has distinct regions for different kinds of information processing. Decades of research have gone into mapping functions onto areas of the brain, and no function-less areas have been found.

Microstructural analysis: In the single-unit recording technique, researchers insert a tiny electrode into the brain to monitor the activity of a single cell. If 90% of cells were unused, then this technique would have revealed that.

Neural disease: Brain cells that are not used have a tendency to degenerate. Hence if 90% of the brain were inactive, autopsy of adult brains would reveal large-scale degeneration.

Another evolutionary argument is that, given the historical risk of death in childbirth associated with the large brain size (and therefore skull size) of humans[11], there would be a strong selection pressure against such a large brain size if only 10% was actually in use.

In the October 27, 2010 episode of MythBusters, the hosts used magnetoencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging to scan the brain of someone attempting a complicated mental task. Finding that well over 10% was active at once, they declared the myth "busted".

won't knock it until i have done it.

If it really worked, Bin Laden would have been found within a week.

There ya go. Argument reduced to it's absurdity. I'd rep you but have to spread around

Yes, this is probably a form of hypnosis or something where they just put you in hypnosis, then describe beautiful scenery to you, or maybe an even less complicated scam. Perhaps some legal hallucinogen or something. If you could really project yourself to anywhere, There would be little need for intelligence gathering, police manhunts, things like that. It just plain and simple wont actually work, and if it did, its something that either everyone would know about, or it would be a very heavily guarded government secret. Reminds me of the movie men who stare at goats.

From what I heard from a friend that is into all that stuff, you can´t actually project yourself into a real , but only astral worlds which are like other dimensions. He says that we supposedly astraly project every time we sleep but we are unconscious and can´t remember the experience. He also said that there were people in his AP-class who couldn´t accomplish the projection and were thrown out because of it. AP-Teacher explained that these people were hopeless from the begining because they were so numb and closed up that not even the hurricane could move them. That´s why it all sounds like a subjective bullshit to me ​
