I Used to Come Out of My Body | Astral Projection

My father died when I was a 7 years old. It took my mother by surprise and she did not know how to handle being alone, with a child. Surprisingly, having 15 brothers and sisters herself, she shirked her duties, in the line of girls taking care of her younger brothers and sisters, so when I came along, and then her husband died, she was wholly unprepared.

She thought it was fine to leave me alone, in the house, for hours. I never really had a childhood, and mistakenly I would come off as being an adult in a child's body. You could hold a conversation with me, at the age of 4, and come away with a new perspective on something. I was told not to grow up so fast, by many people. But, I guess, I knew what was coming, and grew up fast.

But the truth is, at age 7, alone, in a huge house, I was afraid. My fears were well founded. One night, when we were out, our house was broken into. Shortly after that, though, we became U.S. diplomats and traveled overseas. But, my mother's nasty habit of leaving me alone continued. Luckily we had maids and butlers, but at night, they were off duty, so I was left alone in the mansion.

Two things I did when I was alone. In the U.S. I would sit by the door, in a chair, and sing, loudly, for hours. 

The second thing, I was told, wasn't so normal. If I went to sleep, or shall I say, lie in my bed, I would come out of my body and walk around the house, and walk outside patrolling the estate. I would do this for hours and hours, walking around, in this ghost form. I could see and hear everything.

I thought nothing of it, astral projection they call it. I had developed the habit of astrally projecting. I didn't know it was a unique ability. I didn't know it was a dangerous ability.

That is, until my very religious aunt heard what I could do. One day, in the U.S., I was sent to be cared for by my aunt and uncle, again, my mother shirking her duties. Since we were virtual strangers to the family, world travelers and such, my aunt put me up in one of her estates, a huge Tudor like home, two stories, 12 bedrooms. And, like my mother, she left me alone in that home, by myself.

I lay down, because there was nothing to do, in that big house, and immediately astrally projected out of my body. I patrolled around the house and outside. Surprisingly, my aunt came to check up on me, I saw, and she was on the phone. I heard her entire conversation and could even hear the person on the other end, probably a gift of astral projection. When she came in, I got up and told her I saw her and told her about the conversation she had.

She became very serious. Clearly, I wasn't lying. Clearly, everything I said was true. Imagine, this strange kid, from your sister, that travels all over the world, is put into your care, and then he says something out of the blue, yet has proof of everything he says, and you didn't see him, but he's able to tell you, not only your conversation, but what the person on the other end of the phone line said too.

She immediately believed, every word I said. She asked me where I learned to do this. I told her about all the times I was left alone. I was told not to turn the stove on, not to sit in the salon, or living room. So I taught myself this astral projection, to protect myself.

She became gravely serious and this it what she said to me:

• - do not astrally project
• - when we astrally project, our spirit leaves our bodies
• - when our spirit leaves our bodies, our bodies are left empty
• - a demon could easily come into our bodies, if it finds it empty
• - then if we try to come back to our bodies and a demon is inside, it won't give up the body and we will not be able to get back into our bodies, and essentially we will be dead.

Two things happened after that:

1. 1. I was never left with my aunt and uncle
2. 2. I never astrally projected after that

I've been curious, if I still have that power, but I've never done it again, for fear it might be true. 

For those of you who know, is that true?

Finally, I have since learned that Astral Projection, isn't just for looking, watching, listening and seeing stuff far away from your body, but, just like the demon, in the story my aunt told me about, you have the same power, as an astral projection. You can try to enter someone else's body. You'd have to fight their spirit, just like the demon, but most people, wouldn't have the spiritual stamina to even put up a fight, versus you, the one who has so much spiritual stamina, as to be able to astrally project.

Also, sort of like a poltergeist, in your astral form, you can affect the physical world, if you practice it enough. You could open doors, not that you need to, but for other people, you could open doors for them. You could throw things. You could start things, like engines, or turn on the A/C or heater. You see where this is going? You could carry that to the extreme and make someone have a really bad day, or worse.

I'm being gentle, but the or worse part, is the key here. If you could wrestle someone else's spirit, out of their body... well, you heard what my aunt said.
