I have a concern. I absolutely love meditation. Being in the Now and being able to distinguish myself from my mind and ego and continuing to do so through mindfulness when my senses are out and about in the world. I am also really drawn to my chakras. I tend to them quite often and do ordinary chakra meditation all the time. My concern is, is the Self (not my ego, but my true self) a part of the etheric body or are they opposites? I would like to explore astral travel but this seems to be motivated by attachment and isn’t quite being in the Now. Or is it? I am quite confused. – I do not believe that I will find enlightenment through astral projection, I am merely curious and would like to explore a bit.
Thank you so much for reading this.
Astral projection is quite normal, we do it all the time when we fall asleep, it’s actually what happens when you dream, your soul astral projects into the astral plane where you basically go on a tour through your own subconscious through time portals. Astral projection is very very enlightening it teaches you that you are a multidimensional being not bound by your physical body.
You have to get over the fact of getting ‘rid’ of the ego because you cannot fully get rid of your ego it is still very much a part of you but it comes with a matter of accepting it and transcending your ego into soul. we have to accept our darkness to transform it into the light.
think of your ego like you would your regular conscious mind(short term memory past future masculine logical rational energy left brain side)
think of your soul as your subcosncious mind(infinite, ethereal spriitual world feminine energy feeling, perceiving right brain side)
you need both sides to balance it is not a game of versus or a game of sides, we are both ego and soul. It is merely a matter of balance
I have a page on astral travel if you wish to explore further questions/experiences/lucid dreaming/OBEs etc.
~Namaste~
