More Astral projections – Dr Robert Crookall
"The proper study of mankind is man." His potentialities are still but little realized. Whereas only a few specially constituted and carefully trained and equipped men can ever engage in space-travel, we maintain that every person of average (or above-average) moral and spiritual development engages in "astral travel" or "astral projection", leaving his physical body, usually in deep sleep, and visiting more or less distant parts of the earth, occasionally other regions also. This sounds fantastic to "common-sense" folk, but the perusal of a number of testimonies concerning it, and a little reflection, is often enlightening.
The fact that we have a second "astral" body, in which we can make journeys, is seldom realized because, since that body is not composed of physical matter, it cannot be seen or touched, and, since its journeys are made independently of the physical brain, they are extremely rarely "remembered" in daily life.
