ASTRAL PROJECTION: Dangerous and Demonic?

There's a lot of fear surrounding the topic of Astral Projection. Why? Is it really safe? Or is it dangerous and demonic?

What about the reports of people having visions of hell? Or those claiming to see shadowy figures in their bedroom at night? Or people experiencing a phenomenon called "sleep paralysis"?

Well, I'm not gonna ignore those issues at all in this audio. So, here's my take on out-of-body experiences and its connection to creepy paranormal phenomena.

Out of Body Experiences: 7 BENEFITS of Astral Projection

Do you want to have an out-of-body experience? If so, WHY? Are there any BENEFITS of Astral Projection?

Truth is, there are countless stories of people who've had NDEs and OBEs saying that their experiences were extremely profound. In fact, not only were their lives dramatically impacted in a positive way, but these unique experiences also gave them a new reality.

Here are 7 benefits of Astral Projecting!

HOW I Started Having OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCES

Am I more than this body? Is there life after death? Does consciousness survive once the brain shuts down? These are legitimate questions to ask.

Here's my journey into Out of Body Experiences and Astral Travel.

How to CREATE and BEND REALITY

Here's a reading of the "Creating: Bending Reality 101" chapter from the book "The Secret to Awesomeness".

Leaving Christianity Interview (Tony Seigh Show)

My first interview (after "coming out") of why I left Christianity.

 

 

LOSING FRIENDS After Religion (How to Move On)

For those of you who have questioned and challenged certain church traditions and dogma--or maybe even left religion altogether--what happened to your friends?

Are the friends who were there with you since the beginning of your "faith walk" still around?

You see, for many of us, we have lost some (or a lot of) our friends along this spiritual journey. In fact, it has even been quite painful (and lonely) at times.

BUT ...

 

 

Is HELL REAL or an Invention of the Church?

Does hell exist? If so, is it eternal? Temporary? Or is hell simply a fear-based invention of the church used to control people using fear?

Here I discuss some of the most common ideas about this "hot topic."

The REAL REASONS Why I Don't Go to Church Anymore

"So where do you go to church?" If you’re a Christian, you’ve probably been asked this question a million times.

But isn’t it interesting that the place many religious folks call a “spiritual hospital” (church) for the “spiritually sick,” usually ends up being a place where everyone looks healthy? So instead of being a place where we can “be ourselves,” the church usually ends up being a place where we pretend everything is okay.

 

 

My Former Christian Life...Was I Really Saved?

Here's a look into my life as a born-again, spirit-filled Christian whose passion was to know Jesus, and to preach the gospel of the kingdom throughout the world.

How to Overcome Insecurity and Fear (Life Trip Radio) - Joshua Tongol Interview

Feeling insecure about your body? Struggling with self-love? Longing for deeper relationships?

In this interview, I talk about these issues, along with what life is like being born with one hand. I also talk about, what I believe to be, one of the biggest obstacles millennials are facing today.

The host of the Life Trip Radio show is the awesome Joshua Dwight (aka "The Millennial Mentor"). And I dug up this interview from the archives (2015) which was never uploaded to Youtube ... until now.

I hope you enjoy it and get encouraged.

#017 Dean Radin: Are Psychic Phenomena Real? | Telepathy, Precognition, Psychokinesis | (Supernormal)

Are some of the superpowers described in ancient legends, science fiction, and comic books actually real?

Telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition–are these inherent supernormal mental powers?

Is it really possible to perceive another person’s thoughts, influence objects with our minds, and envision future events?

In this episode, I interview Dr. Dean Radin. He is Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. For three decades he has been engaged in frontiers research on the nature of consciousness. He was featured in a New York Times Magazine article; and he has appeared on dozens of television shows ranging from the BBC’s Horizon and PBS’s Closer to Truth to Oprah and Larry King Live. He has given over 350 interviews and talks.

Dean is author or coauthor of over 250 technical and popular articles, three dozen book chapters, and three books including the award-winning The Conscious Universe, Entangled Minds, and the 2014 Silver Nautilus Book Award winner, Supernormal: Science, Yoga, and the Evidence for Extraordinary Psychic Abilities.

#016 Eben Alexander: Is There Life After Death? (Proof of Heaven/The Map of Heaven)

Is there life after death? If so, what is it like?

In this episode, I interview Dr. Eben Alexander. A renowned academic neurosurgeon for over 25 years, he thought he knew how the brain, mind and consciousness worked. But in 2008, all of that changed.

What seemed to come out of nowhere, he went into a coma for a week and had an out-of-body/near-death experience into another realm that transformed his life forever.

Eben is the author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey Into the Afterlife, and his latest book is called The Map of Heaven: How Science, Religion, and Ordinary People Are Proving the Afterlife.

IN THIS EPISODE, EBEN ANSWERS THE FOLLOWING:
 
• What happened on November 10, 2008?
• You're a pretty healthy guy who didn't really get sick. So what happened?
• Back in the day you considered strange NDE stories to be "pure fantasy". Why is that?
• What did you experience in these other realms?
• Was it a physical experience, or more of a dreamlike, ghostly appearance?
• You talked about not having a body during your experience? What did you mean?
• You said that "Language, emotion, logic: these were all gone". How did you communicate?
• "Seeing and hearing were not separate in this place". What did you mean?
• Did you see and meet "God"? If so, what did He/She/It look and sound like?
• You claim to have seen heaven, but is hell real, too?
• Can you describe the Realm of the Earthworm's-Eye View?
• What about reincarnation?
• You talked about a girl and a butterfly. Tell us about that experience.
• What were the powerful and moving words the girl said to you?
• What do you say to the skeptic?
• Doesn't the brain create consciousness?
• Can you share a little bit about your new book The Map of Heaven?
