How to perform an Astral Projection: Sixth Sense

By -
After hearing about Astral Projection from our guest speaker in class during our 6th sense class presentation, I was curious to see if it was possible for anyone to perform this kind of out of body experience. I consulted a few online resources and came up with a consensus of some steps on how to attempt to perform an Astral projection.

1. When Start in the early morning hours when you're still drowsy. Some say that it's easier to reach the necessary state of relaxation and heightened awareness around dawn.

2. Atmosphere Try it in a part of your home where you're completely comfortable, to achieve complete relaxation.
◦   It's easier to perform astral projection alone than it is with someone else in the room.
Draw the shades or curtains and try to eliminate any interruption that could disrupt the state of relaxation.

3. Achieving relaxation. Position yourself on your back in your chosen room. Close your eyes and try to clear your mind of distracting thoughts. Concentrate on your body and how it feels. The goal is to achieve a state of complete mind and body relaxation.
◦   Flex your muscles and then loosen them. Start with your toes and work your way up your body, gradually making your way to your head. Make sure every muscle is completely relaxed when you are through.
◦   Breathe deeply and exhale completely. Don't hold tension in your chest and shoulders, just relax.
Focus your mind on your breathing.

This hypnotic state is normally known as the hypnagogic state. Let your body and mind approach sleep, but don't completely lose consciousness. Being at the edge of wakefulness and sleep, a hypnotic state, is necessary for astral projection to occur. Reach this state using the following method:
 Keeping your eyes closed, let your mind wander to a part of your body, such as your hand, foot or a single toe. Focus on the body part until you can visualize it perfectly, even with your eyes closed. Continue focusing until all other thoughts fall away. Use your mind to flex your body part, but do not physically move it. Visualize your toes curling and uncurling, or your fingers clenching and unclenching, until it seems as though they are physically moving. Broaden your focus to the rest of your body. Move your legs, your arms, and your head using only your mind. Keep your focus steady until you're able to move your whole body in your mind alone.


4. Vibration. Many report feeling vibrations, which come in waves at different frequencies, as the soul prepares to leave the body. Succumb to the vibrations as your soul prepares to leave your body.

5. Use your mind to move your soul from your body. Imagine in your mind the room in which you are lying. Move your body in your mind to stand up. Look around yourself. Get up off the bed and walk across the room, then turn around and look at your body on the bed. Your out of body experience is successful if you feel as though you are gazing upon your body from across the room, and that your conscious self is now separate from your body.

6. Return to body. Your soul always remains connected to your body with an invisible force, sometimes referred to as a "silver cord." Let the force guide your soul back to your body. Reenter your body. Move your fingers and toes - physically, not just in your mind - and let yourself regain full consciousness.

7. Confirmation. Once you have mastered the act of projecting your soul from your body in the same room, you will want to confirm that you were indeed in two separate planes.
Next time you practice the astral projection, don't turn around to look at your body. Instead, leave the room and walk into another room in the house.Examine an object in the other room, something that you had never noticed before in the physical sense. Make a mental note of its color, shape and size, paying attention to as many details as possible. Return to your body. Physically go into the room you previously projected yourself into and return to your body.

I haven't tried this yet, but after hearing what Marian (the guest speaker)  ad to say about it in class I certainly look forward to maybe trying it once I get home and can find a relaxing place.

The most primitive sense

Smell the Flowers by Kirsten Star Smell, to me, is the most primitive sense. When most mammals are born, they immediately can recognize their mother’s smell and form an attachment to that smell. Mammals like puppies are almost entirely limited to only the sense of smell until they develop more of their other senses. The sense of smell also becomes the most primitive when considering humans and the phenomenon of perfume. For years, humans hunted certain animals for the purpose of obtaining the musk produced in the anal gland. This musk in small doses can act as an aphrodisiac when put into a perfume even though it has incredibly primitive origins. Though most of Western culture has an aversion to smells considered gross or undesirable, the wealthiest of women are still willing to pay heavy prices to spray a smell once obtained from the anal glands of other animals. The sense of smell is not something that humans can control and adjust but rather it is only changed by evolution over

Cannibalism and Symbolism

By -
Symbolism plays an important role in religious ceremonies because people cannot have the divine being where they want him all the time. So they start creating ways to be in touch with God. Such as in Christianity, eating bread is symbolized to be eating God-made flesh. There are similar rituals in Judaism where they eat the food of God. A big difference between taste and the other senses is that the object that is being sensed is internalized, whereas all the other senses use an external sensation. Taste cannot extend anywhere like the other senses can. This allows the humans to have no barrier between the divine (symbolized as food) and themselves. This is the closest they can get to God, but internalizing Him.  This thought of getting the closest they can to someone by ingesting and gaining power from it led my mind to wander to the thought of serial killers that also happen to be cannibals. I know that it might be a stretch, but there are some similarities. I als

Wrap-Up Post

Alright, let’s tie this up in a nice little bow. I genuinely did not know what to expect coming into this class. The extent of my knowledge of the senses comes from elementary school when we had to make it a little song to get the information through our tiny heads. Beyond that, everything seemed pretty cut and dry. We have five senses. We need to use all of them to survive. It’s as simple as that. I did not know how there was enough to talk about the senses to fill an entire college course, especially one specifically regarding the relationship between the senses and religion. But the fact that we were barely able to fit all the content in before the semester ended proves just how wrong I was. Let’s talk about why that is and what some of the things I learned were. First off, even the most basic assumption about the senses, that there are five of them, was questioned immediately. The sixth sense may not have been as clearly defined as the other senses, but there was certainly a lot to
