Question

Satanic in anyway, I kind of would like to feel that feeling of seeing yourself, but I don't want to get into **** that will freak me out..haha...I don't know i find stories of them interesting.

Answer 1

No they are not.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.

The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.

Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.

Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.

Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Answer 2

I have them very often, while I sleep. Can't say that I've seen my own body once I've floated away. I fly around a lot, places I remember, places unknown to me. I have tried to awaken during in out of body, that is painful to the physical body. When your spirit, the part that flows around, is aware of the physical body then it is very fast before it just slips right back in. The physical body jumps as though it had just taken it's first breath. I do wonder why, some people do this and some do not. I am Christlike and will have nothing to do with satan. A word to the wise, you never know who is evil, be careful...

O.B.E.s or Astral Projection is of the occult(secret or hidden things). Do not get involved with this mind phenomenon.

Before I became a believer,I was involved in this practice using psycotropic drugs as a catylist. It is not something that God endorses.
