I astral projection evil? I don't think it is. It's in the bible. I do it on accident, somehow. But evil surrounds me in the astral fields.

Hi, WesP!

Where is it mentioned in the Bible, please?

Thanks!

I am also curious... I don't remember astral projection anywhere in the Bible.

"I know a man in Christ fourteen years before--whether in the body, I do not know, or out of the body, I do not know, God knows--such a one was caught up to the third Heaven. And I know such a man--whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know; God knows--that he was caught up into Paradise and heard unspeakable words which a man is not permitted to speak." (2 Cor. 12:2-4).

"And he carried me in spirit onto a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, holy Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God,..." (Rev. 21:10).

Ecclesiastes 12:6-7
Remember him-before the silver cord is severed,
Or the golden bowl is broken;
Before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
Or the wheel broken at the well,
And the dust returns to the ground it came from,
And the spirit returns to God who gave it.

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live.. .

Interesting. I never would have called that "astral projection."

I know nothing about astral projection - mostly by choice - and really can't give you a definitive answer. I just thought this was curious.

But, the one thing about these two instances (I don't really "see" it in Ecc. 12), is that I believe God took Paul and John to Heaven (or the "third heaven") to reveal something to them, ultimately for its preservation in the Bible. I googled "third heaven" and found this link: The Firmament, Third Heaven, and Structure of Things Biblical It is interesting reading, at least.

I can't, by any means, claim to know exactly what this is talking about, I'm not a theologian, but I think that when God does something, it's different than someone "astrally projecting."

That's just my opinion! :)

If evil surrounds you while being in the astral plane, why continue to do it?

I don't know that doing it is evil or not. I think that would be a good topic for a discussion.

What is written in the Bible speaks many times about not getting involved with things of the supernatural.

Thanks!

Ephesians 6:10-18 ESV / 4 helpful votes
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,.

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

For a dream comes with much business, and a fool's voice with many words.

My point exactly... I don't try to do it, it just happens. I read a lot of the bible and sometimes have dreams of things that happens but I try to brush it off. I'm not usually afraid of these demons because I feel protected. I guess your spirit is kind of fearless. In astral projection, everything is thought control. But a lot of people explained it as peaceful and pleasant. I have not experienced a good one yet. Then again, I don't try to induce them.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance and saw the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth. In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. And there came a voice to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” But Peter said, “By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”...

It's actually all through the bible. They just didn't have words to explain it. The same thing with extra terrestrials.

Have you spoken with a Pastor concerning what you've experienced and about the way that you feel and think, please?

Thanks!
