Non-believer testing of Astral Travel?
Actor Asked: Non-believer testing of Astral Travel?
this is an interesting subject. if you are not a church person now, would you consider trying to use psychic powers to see if they work?
how many times are you willing to try the exercises before you get some proof or give up?

Such claims have been objectively tested dozens to hundreds of times.
They always fail.
And since the basic premise behind them is patently absurd, there's really no point in me "testing" them personally — it's as ridiculous as "testing" me being able to wish myself invisible.
Peace.
I'm psychic… God is fake.
Simple test. Have somebody in your house place a playing card, or a note with a random word written on it face-up in a part of the house you don't really visit often, or on top of a shelf taller than you, or something similar.
When you "astrally project" go check it – and then check it after you wake up. If they match, fantastic! You'll get $1,000,000 from James Randi. If not, then… you'll realize that you're an idiot and you were just dreaming.
The latter scenario is more likely. 😉
Before I was a Christian I tried astral projection for a good while. It only possibly worked once. I was really drowsy laying on a couch. I was staring at the ceiling, and all of the sudden I was staring at the ceiling from the perspective of about 3 inches away from it. It was either a successful attempt or I fell asleep and dreamed it. I would be inclined to think I just fell asleep.
Testing the claim is easily done, and hardly costs a dime. If I believed I could duplicate the experience, I would phone a friend and ask him to deal a poker hand face up (without telling me the results, of course). I would do my mumbo-jumbo, and call again to guess his hand.
I could repeat the experiment until my buddy is fed up with indulging my wacky claims. I wouldn't need anything more to convince me that my weird mental state was not the source of psychic powers.
