Skeptic-bait #1: "Astral Projection"

[Cato]

My thought after reading some of the OP:

Jesus Tits

He has an open challenge for a million bucks (not sure how much that is in real money) to anyone who can demonstrate paranormal abilities under scrutiny. Out of the relatively few that try, they all fail.

My experience with being a real witch speaks thus - ain't got nothing to prove - although I summoned a Gwynnies right out of this here wall -

- which is straight witchcraft.

Jesus Tits

please. It's quite offending and hurtful when you say stuff like that. He is my truly best friend and has helped me through this life of mine and it would be nice if you don't say that all the time please?

Just a small request.

I've had these kinds of experiences, and they are very real-feeling. In fact, I describe them as feeling MORE real than waking life.

However, what is real as an experience and what is useful in describing and interacting with the world around us are different things. I've never seen nor heard any credible evidence of someone using Astral projection to find information that they could not otherwise have had access to.

That doesn't mean it's impossible-- only that I have too little confidence in anecdotal evidence and personal reports to draw a positive belief about it.

Could you elaborate more about those experiences?

Yeah, well, your "best friend" also says we deserve to burn in hell for eternity for not believing in him. It's kind of hard to show respect to something like that.

Ok sure if you want to. I was just asking, not demanding. Sorry if it felt like a forceful request.

If astral projection is real, it would have a lot of practical uses it would be put to by now, by scientists, governments, and everyday people alike. Want to know how your teenager is doing on their first night home alone? What fascinating things are on the bottom of the ocean? What does that foreign government have up their sleeve?

When we start getting new and useful information using astral projection, let me know and I'll think about taking in seriously.

[Longhorn]

Define 'soul'.


And, ffs, astral means 'of or relating to stars'. Nothing further away from out of body experiences, which are just ape brain shenanigans, and occurring, to our knowledge, on this planet only.

Astral projection is when you have an outer body experience by projecting the photograph of a wheelchair from your ass.

Simple Test For Remote Viewers:

1. My wife has a small scar on her right shoulder. The scar closely resembles a common object. Name it.

2. There is a CD here on my desk (yes, some of us still use CDs. Shut up). Read me the title of Track 4.

3. Hanging on the wall of my workshop, there is a framed lithograph of a well-known historical figure. Who? (hint: it isn't Jesus)

4. We have two cats. Describe - in detail - the larger one.

5. What word is carved on the neck of my theorbo?

Getting 1 out of 5 qualifies you as a remote viewer, and wins you 11 gazillion pounds of platinum jewelry and the kingship of Altair IV.

Best of luck.

Why is it that all the people I've known who believe in Astral projection also believe in Astrology?
