Astral travel is an activity in which a person's spirit leaves the physical body. I would like to point out that the spirit has the same shape as the person's physical body.
The person does not die in the process, the physical body is asleep, lying on the bed, and all physiological functions of the body are preserved.
There is no risk that the spirit could not return to the body, because the spirit and the body are connected by a kind of silver cord.
Surprisingly, the author of the Book of Ecclesiastes (Bible) certainly knew about astral travel. He speaks of death, of the breaking of the silver cord, when the spiritual body will no longer return to the physical body.
The Book of Ecclesiastes – Chapter 12
5 …because man is already on his way to the house of his eternity, and mourners are already in the streets. (It will happen) when the silver cord is broken
6 and the golden bowl is broken, and the pitcher is broken at the spring, and the wheel at the well is broken.
7 And the dust returns to the earth, as it was before; and the spirit returns to God, who gave it.
A person often experiences astral travel during near-death experiences, when their life is in danger, or in the hospital.
Another thing can happen: it is very unpleasant if a person falls into a coma. If a person is in a long-term coma, their spirit is most often not in the body. In such a case, their spirit decides not to return to the body; the person feels better in the spiritual world. Then it is a dilemma for doctors whether to disconnect the person from the machines or not.
But let's get back to astral travel (AT). Anyone can travel astrally. People are mainly attracted to it to get to know the spiritual world. It is also possible to get to know the physical world, e.g. an astral traveler living in Slovakia can see what is happening in Australia. AT is not limited by distance.
A person who has a more active spiritual body spontaneously astral travels from childhood, but the average person does not have this ability. A prerequisite for AC is to first master meditation very well (the goal of meditation is to have an active spiritual body, to have an energetically cleansed spiritual body from blocks). If you master meditation well, then you can find rich instructions for AC on the Internet, which you can follow.
Astral travel is an amazing thing when one can walk through different worlds and dimensions. On the other hand, you must also be aware of the treacherous aspects of astral travel. Let's recall the amazing Hindu philosophy: " everything is an illusion, only God-the Absolute is reality, truth, knowledge "
This means that just as in this visible world of ours we are in great ignorance and deception without realizing it, so it is in the astral world. There is an incredible amount of illusion there. The task, duty, and mission of astral travel is as follows:
– with all the strength of your will, try to get to know God-the Absolute as much as possible and be in the strongest possible contact with Him (it is not the case that from one day to the next you will be in the closest contact with the Absolute, on the contrary, it is something really challenging and difficult)
– to know the truth, to gain knowledge
– constantly strive to distinguish illusion from reality, subjective from objective, and falsehood from truth
(It is not easy to keep all these things in mind and it will take a lot of effort)
Reminder: One person in Slovakia offers astral travel courses. I strongly advise against attending such courses, which are not cheap. Firstly, there are many websites and internet forums about AC where you can learn everything, and secondly, without sufficiently cleansed chakras, you are not capable of AC in any case. Be careful not to waste money unnecessarily, especially if you don't have much.
Comment 2: People in hospitals do not need a Catholic priest to brainwash the sick, but they need a shamanically educated person who will explain the existence of the astral world to people and help those who are not far from death to orient themselves in the astral world. Souls need this very much, it will help them a lot. Such activity of shamans in hospitals would be extremely necessary. This is the best preparation for death. People need to know that the astral world exists.
