I’d like to experience AP because I have had an intense fascination with and fear of death most of my life. I have alternated between extreme skeptical materialism to a more open minded curiosity and nascent idealism. So primarily I simply want to know if consciousness can exist outside of the body, if we go on after we die.
Next I want to understand what life can possibly be like as a disembodied consciousness, or an astral bodied consciousness. Does life outside of the body have a purpose or is it purposeless? Can it be mundane or boring? is there some ultimate spiritual goal? is there a comparable social and community life?
I guess you could say I am interested in the anthropology and sociology of the afterlife.
Welcome to the community and thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks again for the input, very interesting perspectives and ideas.
I’m trying lots of techniques without success yet, although I get all sorts of odd sensations. I may settle on the “No Method” method and just set an intention before a daytime nap and see what happens.
I look forward to being able to share my own experience some day, for now I’m just intensely interested and researching the experiences of others.
