Many many years ago before I was a Christian I trained under a Zen Buddhist 5th degree Shorin Ryu karate master who had a Samurai academy in the ghetto I lived in at the time in SoCal and he would do occultic things like have us lay down and try to initiate astro travel for the purpose of honing an occultic skill to check up on enemies. He would also have us face a wall with someone on the other side holding a weapon and try to get us to perceive what weapon would be the best to choose when they came through the door. Needless to say I had some nightmares and other negative experiences as a result of this sort of training.
As a Christian, everything that was not of God I fully repented from and have not trained since. I thank God for His grace and His love and His holy rightousness.
It is a sad and frightening fact that people are fascinated with the secret or "occult" things that God has condemned (Deut. 18:9-12).
The psychic phenomenon of astral projection occurs when an individual in a state of consciousness claims to leave the physical body and travel long distances, observing other people, recording their actions, and returning to the body to confirm it. Letters, phone calls, and e-mails are all methods of confirmation-detailed proof provided to those "visited."
When the mind and heart are opened to these types of occult experiences, a person becomes exposed to malignant spiritual beings waiting to take advantage of any vulnerability. The Bible calls these fallen angels demons. Astral projection may seem harmless on the surface, but its potential impact can be devastating.
People involved in psychic phenomena often quote the Bible to legitimize their experiences. For example, a passage commonly cited in defense of levitation is the ascension ofJesus in Luke 24:51-53. The meaning of ascend is "to go up"; therefore, some argue that Jesus must have levitated into heaven. Christ Was the supreme medium who defied the laws of gravity. Mediums involved with levitation defend it by saying they are simply doing what Jesus did, perfectly in line with the psychic phenomena in the Bible.
But they have been deceived by the devil. Jesus never floated back down to earth as they do. All people who levitate return to the earth 100 percent of the time because they are using occultic powers which are finite. Consider the power of God that moved Philip from one place to another was so that the gospel of Jesus Christ might be preached to bring people to Christ and so God might be glorified. Objects apported in psychic phenomena imitate the power of God, but the purpose is to lead people away from God and deeper into the occult where the devil is trying to bind them for destruction.
If anyone thinks playing with such things will not result in negative consequences to their lives ranging from serious oppression (nightmares, insomnia, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts) to outright demonic possession over time is deceiving themselves even as they are being deceived.
If you have been involved in any occultic activities, repent immediately and remove all such things from you and your home. Ask Jesus to forgive you and wash you clean. If you are not yet a Christian, it's time to become one.
Pray to God. Acknowledge that you are a sinner in need of a savior and that no good deeds that you do can gain you access into Heaven. Believe that Jesus is the son of God and He alone has the power to forgive your sins. Ask Jesus to forgive your sins and to indwell you with His Holy Spirit. You could pray a prayer just like this: Lord, Thank You for dying on the cross and taking my punishment for my sins. I know that I could never be fit for Heaven without You. So I invite You to come into my life and be my Lord and my Savior. Afterwards, follow the New Testament instruction of seeking water baptism and don't wait: immediately find a community of authentic Christian believers to fellowship with.

The early Christians preached the gospel and demonstrated the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit-gifts given according to the will of God (Heb. 2:4). It was not just the Word that went forth; it was the power that went forth, and that is as true today as it was in the first century. God not only saves people, but God also manifests Himself in power. He heals minds, bodies, lives, marriages, and memories. He saves to the uttermost. It is our history-our heritage-and we should lay claim to it.
A Christian person who is filled with the Holy Spirit need never fear the occult. The demons know when a person walks with God; the demons recognize the presence of the Sprit of God and tremble with fear. NOT the other way around. Put on the whole armor of God and stand against the methods of the devil (Eph. 6). God does not send you into combat in your underwear; He sends you in equipped for combat.
God says that if your Christian life is all together, you are armed and ready, but if your Christian life is weak, you are vulnerable to attack, deception, oppression (though an authentic Christian cannot be possessed in my experience as they are truly God's). So enjoy your Christian life and avoid anything having to do with the occult. Study God's Word, pray to God, be filled with the Spirit, fellowship and worship with other Christians, and preach the Word. The Lord knows those who are His. He is a stronghold in the day of trouble. Praise the Lord!

Hi AgeofKnowledge,
How very pleased I am to hear you speak from the heart. Here, this is where I find you. These are the areas of your strength. Do you see your calling in here in this field of exposing falsehood. In my limited experience, evil spirits want to enter our bodies. They must be a very comfortable place to be and also these spirits are after our souls.
Again,from my experiences they can not enter unless you invite them in. Fooling around with spiritual activities INCLUDING READING THE BOOKS brings them to your door.If you do then I don't know how a person would clear them. Jesus has used me once for this but even as it was happening I did not understand. Later came the knowledge of what Jesus had done through me. As you pleaded with people I can only agree. Keep right away, very far away from all this kind of activity. There are a million paths to destruction but only one way to God and that is through His Son. I lived in Thailand for 5 years and all those people there believe in spirits and I asked a classroom of teenagers and some could tell me stories of encounters. I friend of mine in Thailand, an English school teacher had a son and this baby was possessed and through the child controlled the family. Baptism cleared this child of possession.

DON'T!! Astral projection is an occult practice. They enter the spiritual realm and 'go' without God's commissioning. It is an evil and wicked thing, especially when one that projects gos to another person and invades their privacy, their sleep, their peace. The occult uses it for the purpose of controlling people that they project to...to keep them weak, fearful and intimidated. Here is an article foryou to read: What is Astral Projection?
Astral projection, spirit travel is FAR different from being 'transported' by God for His purposes.
So you have to decide...whom do you serve? The Creator, God, MOST powerful? Or your fleshly desires to 'have fun' and ignorantly be playing into satan's hand, hence...Satan.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beware of what you are thinking. If you are thining to do this means you are already searching into roads a Christian doesn't belong. In other words you most likely have already opened the doorway from hell its self.
What you are speaking of is what witches and satanist do.
From thousands of years ago satan took (copied) what the Lord used for His people. Our spirits. Our spirits are taken out of our bodies and do warfare for the Lord.
The witches and the satanist use their evil spirits and go to people and hurt them. They memic the actions of demons.
Beware of what you are thinking, in Jesus!
