As a christian I know to follow the bible's teachings as a guide to live my life. After all it is the word of GOD... But although the bible has the answers to a lot of questions, I just can't seem to find a definite answer for this one. Thanks in advance for your answers...

In Eastern metaphysical and new age philosophies, astral projection is the practice of the soul leaving the human body and traveling around this world or other planes of existence. Do you believe that this is biblical? Honestly ask yourself and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to you. Personally, anything to do with astral projection or out of body experiences is very suspect. I would be careful dabbling, if you are thinking about it, in mysticism. Stick to the characeristic and attributes of God. What does your spirit tell you?

There is one instance where jesus says to a disciple "i saw you under a tree..." and the disciple followed him after that. But jesus commented that it was so simple to see him.
There are things in the spirit that are gifts of God. there likewise very similar things that Satan does with others to deceive them into different paths of faith.
i think what was described was either some form of remote vewing or quite possibly an astral projection that allowed jesus to see that disciple.
I have seen many many things under the forced sleep deprivation . I know there are drugs that MAKE people psychici. They were at one time sold on the web site of coasttocoastam.com.
of course ArtBell was married to a witch and he often interveiws the witch Paglenni.
but i also know of two persons in the bible that used the words TRANCE, one of them was peter in the book of acts ch.ten who went into a trance and beheld jesus and a table of food prepared before him. There is another man in the old testament who likewise testified that he went into a trance with his eyes wide open.
out of body experiences happens all time and all around us, i think paul or someone ele said that they knew someone who was raised up into the third heaven. What else could that be? but an OBE. Another man said he died "daily". which might mean his spirit was taken away from the body but was SENT back and he woke up ever day, but knowing he shouldve been dead. Giving up the ghost refers to death, but it could also mean that he was in the spirit. as another verse in the scripture testifified of.
But again, there are sorceries that manipulate life and the mind and the spirit. There are many ways to achieve these things and thereby deceive the nations. like it says in Rev 18:23

The Bible is a user's manual. It is not meant to be taken literally. If it were, we would have no use for the inquisitiveness of our minds.

A document of dubious origins referring to practices that do not exist. Nothing of use.

Sin is transgression of the Law, and nothing else.

I surely have experienced it sufficient to declare if it occurs clearly it somewhat isn't any longer risky. as quickly as clearly with the aid of sleep, when I projected it helped me out, i grew to become into waiting to preserve myself and combat off the undesirable spirit that would come and harass me, and after that day he in no way got here back. there grew to become right into a Catholic priest named Thomas Kempis whom revealed a e book Imitation of Christ. He could astral holiday lots from the fifteen hundreds, he could attempt to administration the place he needed to bypass. no person has mastered that, with the aid of fact in many situations your spirit takes excursions on it somewhat is own. He grew to become into out of his physique to long, people who discovered him concept he grew to become into ineffective, so as that they buried him. somebody who knew that he astral travels pronounced what he does. so as that they doug him up, while they buried him his palms have been interior the prayer place, and while they doug him up, he died with one in each and every of his palms in his mouth. His spirit ought to of got here back into his physique as quickly as they buried him, and he likely grew to become into thinking if he grew to become into ineffective, explains why he chew his hand to attempt if he grew to become into alive. once you astral project or holiday your coronary heart fee slows down, so surely you could stay out of your physique for an volume of time. in many situations it somewhat isn't any longer long, yet possibly the risky section is attempting to administration the place you bypass.
