People claim to do that? They must be in some weird social circles.

Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

They do - and most of the time it's just lucid dreaming combined with reading factual things about places so you can imagine them.
You can't just call imagining "astral projection"
You can if you believe in yourself and your bullshit hard enough!
Or if you want to grift people!
Yes I can. Provably.
yeah it's actually a fun experience. and you can induce it with techniques similar to that of lucid dreaming.
just don't pretend your soul is really going out of your body to secret bases and shit. it's just lucid dreaming with extra steps.
The CIA in fact claimed to do it too
The US government believed in Astral Projection for a while there.
What if they still do and that's why there's astral force fields protecting all the military bases
That's honestly what I believe. Not joking. The CIA I believe it was did a study on this with The Monroe Institute. And the study has become declassified. https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788R001700270006-0.pdf
The Monroe tapes are easy to find online I listened to some of it, was quite relaxing. Wasn't able to leave my body but tbh I didn't really apply myself to it. Had much more luck with RV but I remain skeptical about that too but it was surprising.
The reason the CIA invested in this topic was that they believed that the Russians where interested in it. This is during the Cold War and Nina Kulgina was kicking around doing her thing.
If you believe that your enemy can AP into your sensitive areas that is an issue and you need to be able to counter it. I haven't heard of the force field before but I remember hearing tales of people who tried to access government facilities via AP being intercepted by people. Supposedly these other people are agents of the US gov who would remain in AP for long times to guard these places.
I also remember hearing a story of people trying to access old historical sites like ancient temples and they also ran into beings that stopped them like guardians. Theory on that was it was the spirits of monk's who had taken a vow to protect these sites.
I don't put much stock in any of it but I do find it entertaining and interesting.
just in case...
And built in to security measures. Only the newest bases don't have them.
Men Who Stare At Goats
Do you meet a lot of people who claim to be able to astrally project? I don't recall ever hearing someone claim that they can outside of a fictional setting.
The only thing I know about astral projection is that it's a lot like remote login.
I imagine you'd have to spend more time on Tumblr. I've also never met anyone who claims to be an otherkin, but it's just the circles we surround ourselves with.
I can astral project.
Now I can finally check it off my bucket list!
You're welcome.
Cool, Cool, Cool...
Now about those goats, though... what's the deal with them?
I dunno. I just bought this thing on amazon that projects stars on my ceiling.
I used to know a girl who claimed to Astral project through time. She had a messiah complex and it caused her a lot of stress. I hope she got help.
A person who was also level 2 Reikki (?) healer claimed to both astral project and being able to "summon" memories of earlier reincarnations. She seemed totally normal unless you asked about spritiuality or something adjacent. She did believe homeopathy was humbug but that chiropractors could cure depression. We was friends for long time until we drifted apart due to moving towns
I've met a few.
I'd rather hear about astral projection than this "leave the matrix" crap that's going around. There are a lot of delusional folks out there.
Astral projection is basically imagination which is known as true in creating things in various philosophies. Imagine what would it be in a forbidden place and done, it exists, on some level.
We know the place exists, just saying that you can't send your fucking consciousness there
I think the government would come kick my ass would also be a validation
