Science can never prove nor disprove anything supernatural, including astral travel.\n\nOut of body (or astral) travel is a form of meditation. The Astral Plane contains nothing but other people visiting the Astral Plane. Ghosts are people who have died, whose souls are stuck within the plane of the living, not the Astral Plane. Satan, for those who believe in him, dwell either in the Christian Hell or as a force of nature rather than a living entity, as in religious Satanism. Goblins are Otherworldly creatures, and exist on a different plane, but not the Astral Plane. I'm not sure what you mean by "monsters," but the same applies to them: not on the Astral Plane. Angels, as I understand, dwell in Heaven or in some other religion-specific paradise or nirvana of sorts.\n\nAs far as beautiful scenery, I'm not exactly sure what the Astral Plane looks like, as I've never been there. However, in other forms of meditation, you create a sanctuary in your mind - a safe place - where you can relax on your own, or invite deities or other beings of other planes to commune with you there.\n\nOut of body experiences are something very different. They’re what many people experience in what would be their death, but are resurrected or revived before they pass over. Usually, the experience varies between individuals who have experienced it.

astral projection - i started reading about it a couple of years ago, and i was open minded but didnt truly believe in it. a couple of months ago i thought to myself that i would like to try again to see if it is real or not. anyway i jabber on, to cut a long story short - i had my first projection a couple of weeks ago. the first time only lasted a few minutes and i had a bit of trouble with my vision. the second time was excellent, it lasted much longer and i was able to 'teleport' \n to wherever i wanted and it was very clear. when i first read that people feel vibrations before they leave their body - i didnt really believe it but whenever i project now i always feel the vibrations first, sometimes i see a shade of gold over everything just after i've left. once youve actually learned to project, youre next mission \nwill be to learn how to make the projections last longer. i must say that i doubted the existence of astral projection until i had experienced it for myself. this is my technique and i really hope that it works for you: \ni make sure that im not hungry, thirsty, in a rush, or need to click my knuckles or anything like that.\ni lay down in a quiet place (my sofa with tv turned down very quiet) and keep my mind blank, i mean completely blank of any sort of critical thinking or rational thinking - if i do have to think something then i just rest my consciousness on my breathing, dont be afraid if you think you might fall asleep - actually welcome the slowed down feeling that it brings. if you find that your mind starts to wander into thinking then just blank your mind again without acknowledging it.\nif you can keep this going long enough then you'll start falling into a trance, although if you think to yourself 'oh im in a trance' then this will wake you up again so just let it happen and try not to acknowledge anything that goes on in your mind.\nat this point i just keep the trance going and dont think anything, my mind knows that my intention is to project so it will happen. then i get these mad vibrations through my body and i know that its happening - but dont think anything - just let the vibrations happen, in a way you have to ignore everything. then at this point my projection starts, and can happen in different ways. sometimes i just find myself out of my body, sometimes i feel myself sort of come out. \nanyway this method works for me and i wish you success, also feel free to change it a bit, do what comes naturally.\ngood luck!

Near-death experiences are persons and events of the past, or maybe future events yet to happen, which a person in a coma or near death experiences.. Many of these people who experience this phenomena says that they can feel themselves leaving their bodies. There are no scientific methods to prove or disprove their  stories. There seems to be a pattern of similarity in the stories of those who have experienced near-death experiences. I think that there might be something to this, and it is beyond our ability to comprehend at the present time. Maybe in the future, we'll know more about this. Only time will tell.

None-And let me add, that people who believe in things such as ghosts, telekinesis, etc, think that the scientific establishment want to somehow dispute this, even though they know its true.  Discovering that telekinesis is true, that bigfoot really exists, that there are provable ghosts, would make a scientist's career and put them in the history books...and scientists are, if anything, more curious than most people-we would LOVE to see that kind of thing...remember, lots of us were raised on science fiction and still harbour hopes of meeting ET, going faster than light speed, finding out the ESP really works...on and on.  Problem is, we also require real proof.  No, there is no proof of telekinesis.  If there were, the US government would be pouring billions of dollars into studying it.

No! That is absolute bunk. Check out the highly entertaining Myth Busters episode on this subject.

Magicians who levitate are just creating an illusion. No one can really levitate without the help of a contraption.\nAlthough, there is something called black magic which is very real and people who use it do more than just levitate. It is an evil thing and I wouldn't under any circumstance ask you to try. Every evil has consequences.

Nope.  There has never been a demonstration of such ability under controlled circumstances.  If anyone thinks they can do it, why don't you contact James Randi and make yourself a quick million dollars.

I've had some limited out of body experiences. (Well, they certainly felt like it.)\n\nThey happened periodically when I was in college, and took night classes. I'd be up very late into the night studying, and I'd sleep in the morning. Something about the time between 6:00 am and 11:00 am lends itself to this phenomena. (It helps if you leave the blinds open, particularly if you sleep in a room with a window on the east side of the house, so the sunlight can enter.)\n\nI also found that they periodically happened when I would fall asleep with a radio or something on the other end of the room. Talk radio works very well. I would be drawn to the voices from my sleep, and that prompted a few out of body experiences.\n\nA third trick that sometimes works - sleep throughout the night, and then in the very early morning [4:30-5:00], get up for about a half-hour or so. You want to be active at this time, but not too active. Then, go back to bed. This seems to trigger the phenomena, for some reason.

Astral time travel maybe.Why do people always think you have to physically go somewhere?Most of it will become memories of past tense anyway right? Less is more.You could spend 8 hrs plugged into the Matrix and come out with  years worth of experiences and memories. Look into remote viewing.

Only if you believe the disinformation campaign where stuff like this was orginially published.  Fact is that this cannot be done.  Just won't happen.  University study after University study has shown that you can't control people with hypnosis.  Makes for good TV and fanatasies but not reality.

Suprisingly, yes! And, even more suprisingly is, they've already done it! They have teleported the properties, the atom, across a several meter space. This is a step towards teleportation, but really, it's not a very big step because even though we might be able to teleport atoms, we can't arrange them, so it isn't feasible to teleport a human unless they don't mind becoming random atomic sludge on the ground.

It is real in the sense that many people have had experiences that fit the description of what one would imagine astral projection to be like.  On the other hand, coming from a person who has had this sort of experience, I have no way of knowing whether it was a hallucination/dream or whether I actually experienced awareness outside of my body.\n\nA more important question would perhaps be, is your everyday experience real?  What do we mean when we say "real"?

At least at current technology level this is impossible (to my knowledge). I'm a physicist from Finland, and I was a bit amazed when I read this question; I had never heard that scientists in Finland have claimed to have made an anti-gravity drive. So I took a quick look what Internet has to say about it (after I couldn't find an article from J Phys D, where this should have been published according to some Internet sources). This sure smells like a hoax; the paper was withdrawn, and every Finnish scientist mentioned in conjunction with this case has denied their participation; in fact nobody seems to know what this is all about. Only guy who has said anything is this one Russian guy (Dr Eugene Podkletnov), and in the end he was the one requesting the withdrawal of the paper. A whole description of the aftermath of this Sunday Telegraph article (where this was discussed) can be found from http://www.enterprisemission.com/antigrav.html (the end part, first is the article itself).\n\nSo, there's a lot of BS going on in this anti-gravity / inertialess drive field. There may be something in maybe 1% of those "studies", but I wouldn't take too seriously anything I read from the web about these things... When something happens, the scientific community will start buzzing. At least I will notice it (I have to follow journals and media about these things because of my work); there's some movement every time a new hoax appears, but that movement stops at the point where other labs try to repeat the experiment. If something new comes up, it will be heard in every media, not only in Internet.\n\nHowever, to answer your actual question, "Is it possible to create an anti-gravity drive that could be used for space propulsion?", I would say that one day it could be possible. There's research going on, and even though some people think it would contradict Einsteins general theory of relativity, I still think it could be possible.\n\nAbout alien spaceships... eh... well, I would doubt their existence. An extraterrestrial intelligence would surely show up first to all hillbillies and mutilate their cows for research? Or play around and show spectacular light shows flying around just for fun? Of course that's not impossible, but I would see it highly unlikely...\n\nDuring my quick look, I found one nice, interesting old article of wired.com: http://www.wired.com/wired/6.03/antigravity_pr.html . I think I'll read that one through...

There was an nytimes article that talked about why one might feeling like there was a being behind them, but it could be explained by currents to parts of the brain.\n\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/03/health/psychology/03shad.htmlex=1317528000&en=eeb8e23490396c32&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss\nor go to nytimes and type in out of body experience

Yes you are correct about the unknown Indian bit!! I haven't heard about either him or the experiment, and I haven't found any one else that has, but I think my 'teleportation' gear is playing up a bit, I'll get it re-tuned and try again later!! I thought teleportation was a means of transferring physical matter almost instantly? Not brain waves!!\nAre you sure your brain waves haven't been transfered??

You don't. You need a scam.\n\nThere is the force of gravity.\nYou need an equal and opposite force to counter it.\n\nSeeing people protend to levitate is fun to imagine\njust like Superman flying through the air, being invincible, living forever and shooting beams of light out of his eyes. But, it is just a fun fantasy.

I depends what you mean by real?  Yes, they really are tricks.  They trick your mind to think you are seeing something different than it really is.\n\nWhen you see something "disappear" it doesn't really disappear into thin air.  You are tricked to believe you saw it disappear, but really it was simply concealed by some "magic" trick.  They all use different ways to conceal the REAL action.\n\nWhen someone is suspended in mid air, there is a hidden, concealed way to do it.  All magic tricks work by natural, but hidden means.  The better the magican, the better hidden it is.
