Greetings, I am a gnostic too, and as you know, gnostic are just teachings, it is not a religion, and so I consider myself a a christian too. I also practice astral travel, and I think I have developed a better consciousness. For those who are not familiar with gnostic teachings: Gnosis means knowledge. Knowledge would be to look up through history, and find out that for example, there are gospels that were not accepted by the catholic church due to the decision of one pope who believed 4 was the perfect number and thus he accepted only 4 gospels. There has been corruption in the church, just look at the spanish inquisition for example. There are people who want power within the church that is an institution formed by men, and men make mistakes. But if you use knowledge, logic, and reliable sources, such as reading straight from the bible and the new testaments, you find truth. Have you ever wondered why catholic priests are not allowed to have sex or get married?. That prohibition is not in the bibble nor in the new testament, that is only the church's interpretation from the fact that Jesus wasn't married and the apostles were asked to leave everything behind and follow Jesus. By logic they could not spread the word of Jesus in those times, while taking care of a family at the same time. But there is no prohibition mentioned in the books, and in these times it would be perfectly reasonable for a priest to be married. The body does matter, some people say the gonstics believe the body is a prison for the soul, this is true and at the same it is not, gnostics don't belive there's something wrong with the human body. Through the gnostic teachings I have been able to discover christianity and the purpose of Jesus in a deeper meaning. I suggest you read Edgar Cayce on the topic of creation. And Plato's world of ideas. As a christian you always wonder how the world was created and why are we here, through gnosticism I have found the answer: We were once, one with God, and we lived in the spiritual realm, it was the manifestation of our interest in the material, that the material world was created. Thoughts become reality. In christianity you have the phrase "the verb became flesh". So our thoughts created the material world, and our interest in it was so strong that we incarnated in it, we lost the sense of unity we had with God, we come all from the same source, thus we are brothers, and God is the manifestation of eternal consciousness and knowledge, justice, etc. God is everything and at the same time God is a superior consciousness. At some point we got lost in the material world, the body became a shell for our soul, at the begining we had a deep connection and voluntary separation from the body, but is as if we developed amnesia and lost the capability to leave the body by our own command. Although you can still have that capability trough astral travel. But that's another topic. There's nothing wrong with the body and living in the material world, but there's a higher dimension we can get into, the heaven per se. And we can only reach it through eliminating our sins for real. The basic difference from christianity, is that gnostics believe in Karma, Dharma and rencarnation, hell, and heaven. When a catholic see a poor kid, he thinks "he got bad luck, and I'm lucky that I was born in a rich house". Do you think God would allow that?, do you think its mere luck?, it is not, it is called Karma, and it is the result of the poor kid's sins in previous lives, it is the same soul, in a different life, with no memory of the previous life because otherwise he would not be able to live the present. And so a person who has elminated all of its sins, can have entry to heaven. Hell is for people who keep sining in every life and accumulate huge Karma.
I tried astral projection for years, and finally gave up on it when I realized it was never going to work. I read all the books and worked really hard on all the procedures for it, and never once succeeded. I did have an interseting experience once, though. I was up near the ceiling, looking down on my bed, which was empty. That only lasted for a second, though, then I was back on the bed. Maybe I levitated?

Don't do it while astral erect.

I've heard that if you develop a skill for lucid dreaming, you can tell yourself (in your dream) to astral project.
True story
Astral projection == using your imagination.
The bulb in my astral projector keeps burning out. I guess I should stop buying them from Wal-Mart.
ya that happens to me too Lol
it doesn't work because it isn't real. and i'm saying that because no one that claims to be able to do it has done it.
ok but it wont happen so dont bother trying...repent first then die then wake up to fly with GOD!!!
