Astral Projection and the Third Eye

If you've read about it, why not give us a general overview so those who don't know what you're talking about gain some sort of background knowledge?
Don't be ridiculous, Monty Mod.
I think he's talking about people getting into such a deep state of meditation that they have an out of body experience. Or he's talking about people shooting laser beams out of their heads. I can't tell which.
But I haven't even gotten the basics of meditation down, so I don't have much thoughts on it.

Has anyone here ever fell asleep trying to meditate? I know it happened to me at least once.

I study and read about the paranormal.
Astral Projection is basically an esoteric interpretation of an out-of-body experience achieved either awake or by lucid dreaming or deep meditation.
I find it an awesome experience.

And all that "astral projection" achieves what exactly? Does it help your body in some kind of way?

I'm an otherkin - although a very inactive one in the community and I know many of them talk about astral projection where they're back in their "true form" in some "plane." Me? I'm quite skeptical of what seem to be drug-induced claims, and something about the whole ordeal just plainly sends shivers down my spine.
IDK, those sorts of things, it just feels wrong to engage in that if it were true. It gives me the same vibe as the Ouija board, and yeah, many otherkin claim to have had... disturbing things follow them back after they did do all this astral projection.
I'm still a skeptic though, but I can't explain why it just disturbs me so much either; I don't even believe in good or evil.

It disturbs you because everything I've read shows that it can be significantly dangerous. I've attempted it many times, and the most I've achieved is just feeling "at one" with everything around me. That only occurs because I stay in one state for a long enough time that my body actually becomes naturally accustomed to the unchanging sensory input. In layman's terms, it's like wearing a glove for a long long long long time; eventually it feels like your own hand.
My desire to perform this is purely one of exploration & enlightenment. I don't believe doing this will help me become a better person or that it will unlock my "true self." If, however, I can do this, I'll be able to get into most places without fear of retaliation or violating any law. I'd have to keep any maliciousness out, though, as that would make me a weapon against myself. I wouldn't be surprised if our military actually uses astral projecters to look into dangerous places.
Anyway, I haven't attempted this in a long time because I've already tried too often without success. Should I find someone who does have experience with this, I'll definitely look for guidance, but this is on hold for now.
