Astral travel or astral projection is when a part of your soul leaves the body to travel through the astral plane. The astral plane is compromised of a series of electromagnetic ley lines that interconnect throughout the universe to create a magnetic field of travel. Because our bodies use electricity to run the body, it is easy for our souls to use these electromagnetic ley lines to travel on.
Electromagnetic fields are everywhere, including cell phones, microwave ovens, computers, power lines, and electrical wiring, making the places a person can astral travel almost limitless. This means a person can astral travel through cell phone text messages or internet usage or even phone calls. Human spirits can use any device that runs on electricity to travel into any type of building or vehicle, etc.
While God created the ability for a human soul to leave the body as a form of protection, Satan has twisted it in order to use it to further his Antichrist agenda. He starts at a young age using trauma to teach people how to leave the body to avoid harm, and then while they are out of the body, he funnels in other human spirits, demonic spirits, and other high ranking entities from the Kingdom of Darkness.
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you
Deuteronomy 31:6
I knew very little about astral travel until I became a Christian, even though I had been astral traveling all of my life. I was taught from a very young age to leave my body as a defense mechanism to protect myself, but I had no idea what I was doing. It is very possible to astral project out of your body and not even know you are doing it, but because it is not openly talked about it, Satan continues to use astral travel to his advantage.
From the time I was an infant, I was sexually abused by my family as a form of indoctrination into the occult. Sexual abuse is damaging for any person, but for an innocent and helpless infant, it is especially damaging. When the abuse would begin, my poor soul would have no idea what to do with all of the feelings that would come over me. The human body is designed for sexual pleasure, but an infant is not yet wired in this way. So with encouragement from my family members, I would leave my body and therefore leave behind the pain and confusion that the body was experiencing.
In order to fully understand how a person can astral project out of the body without being aware, we must first understand how dissociative alters are created through trauma. When trauma occurs to the body or psyche, it can cause enough damage so that the mind actually creates a rift in the conscious self, creating an alternate personality that holds all of the pain and memory of that trauma. You do not have to be a child to have trauma affect you in this way, it is just that the devil uses this technique on children because they are the most susceptible.
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
God created dissociation to help the human mind continue to function through terrible circumstances, such as living in an abusive home or relationship, living through war, traumatic accidents, death of loved ones, and so on. Trauma is an event which negatively impacts the human psyche and continues to impact the person long after the event has occurred. It is through the trauma that dissociation occurs but alters are only created when the trauma is so extreme there is no other way for the psyche to deal with the negative effects of the trauma.
The dissociative alter then can function separately from the conscious mind, becoming a part of the subconscious or superconscious mind, while still affecting the thoughts and feelings of the conscious mind. So if your dissociative alter feels angry, rejected, sacred, etc., you too will feel those feelings, you just will not understand why. You might find an outside source to use as the reason for these feelings, and therefore rationalize them as being normal.
For me, astral travel has been something I have relied on heavily in my life. My body has been run by a complex inner system set up through Satanic ritual abuse and mind control programming where my dissociative alters have had more control over my life than my conscious self has, even once I was saved. These dissociative alters have been trained through abuse to leave the body any time there seems to be a good reason.
And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Romans 5:5
At first, I was trained through abuse to leave the body in order to protect myself from experiencing the abuse, then I was also trained to leave the body in order to help or protect other people as well. My abusers would use threats of harm to others I cared about and my dissociative alters would feel compelled to leave the body in order to try to save them. Obviously, a person’s soul astral traveling cannot actually stop a physical act from happening, but as a child who is experiencing this, you don’t understand these facts and you are desperate to stop all threats of harm.
The training to teach me to leave the body began in infancy and continued throughout my childhood until it became an automatic response to any type of trauma or situation where I felt scared, out of control, angry, helpless, etc. I did not have to consciously make the decision to leave the body, because my dissociative alters had an independent choice from my conscious mind. And because you cannot see a human spirit astral traveling I never saw any signs that would indicate I was leaving the body.
If you have ever had an experience where you felt you were looking down on yourself or observing your experience from a distance, that is a form of astral travel. It is actually quite a common occurrence that people have had during near-death experiences, with head trauma, traumatic experiences, drug use and even during sleep. Many people have these types of out of body experiences and don’t realize that a part of their soul is leaving their body.
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7
It wasn’t until I was in intensive therapy for almost a year that I realized I was actually still astral traveling. I was just beginning to understand astral travel and as a Christian, I didn’t want to think that I could still be astral projecting out of the body. It felt like there was something wrong with me if it were true because I had been working so hard to heal my dissociative alters. I wanted desperately to just be better.
The problem with “being better” is we do not have the same standards for being better as God does. In my mind I would be 100% healed of all of my dissociative alters; which means no more going to rituals, no more astral travel, no more emotional breakdowns or depression. Just “normal”. However, when I asked Jesus what He thought better would look like for me a couple of months ago, He said: “not astral traveling”.
So while I am looking for a complete body, mind and soul healing, Jesus is telling me not astral traveling anymore is what He is looking for. It seems like such a small thing in the big picture of everything I see is wrong, but the truth is astral traveling has been wreaking havoc on my life.
Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
It has taken me a while to be able to write this post because I wanted to get to a place where I felt that I was in a place where I was not constantly astral traveling. I feel that now I can say that astral travel is not my go-to solution anymore when problems arise. I am quite certain I do still have alters that choose to leave the body or possible live outside of the body, but I am also certain that astral travel happens less and less now.
It might sound strange for some that I would seem to talk about astral travel so casually. It has been a great source of distress and even terror for me during the process of healing, but I have worked diligently to help every alter I have found traveling outside of the body. You have to understand that because these dissociative alters, for the most part, were created during my childhood, they are very young and emotionally immature.
These alters were also created purposefully during traumatic events in order to be controlled, so the understanding of the bigger picture of my life or the world at large is very limited for them. These alters often don’t understand they have the option to say no to human spirits that come to take them from the body or call them out to rituals. They also don’t understand that they are no longer under threat from the people who originally created them.
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.
Hebrews 10:39
Once my alters realize that they can choose to be free from the occult and not be hurt for anymore then they almost always say ‘yes’ to Jesus. Finding out I was astral traveling could have made me believe I was a terrible human being, not saved by the grace of God, but destined to hell. Instead, I allowed Jesus to use it to shape me into a place of submission and humility. I could never be where I am without an extra helping of humility.
There is no shame in finding out you are astral traveling, or doing Satanic rituals, or doing witchcraft because the bottom line is: it’s not your fault. There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. He came to save you from sin and hell, not condemn you to it. Satan is the one who wants you to keep these acts in the dark so you cannot be free from them. If you refuse to acknowledge you could be dissociative or participating in these secret works of darkness, then he can keep using you.
You were not born to be a prisoner, you were born to be free. Freedom doesn’t come by leaving all pain or humanity behind you, it comes from excepting Christs love for you, even in the darkest places of sin. Stop allowing the shame you feel define your identity and start believing that God alone can define who you are.
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28
You are a son/daughter of the Most High God. You are dearly beloved, very special, called out for a purpose before time began to do good works prepared by God the Father. None of your actions or sins can ever change that truth, because if it could then we would not have the Bible because the entire thing was written by sinners who lived only by the grace of God.
I do look forward to a time when I feel whole again, and free from the occult. Until then, I am learning to rest in Jesus, one day at a time. I am finding out that the strength I once thought I had by relying on the occults secret knowledge was actually just slavery. Learning to trust in Jesus and let Him be the final authority over me is true strength, and I am now proud to boast in my weaknesses.
We are on this journey together and you are not alone. I know sometimes you feel as though no one understands you, but I assure you, Jesus does, and you are never alone. He does not have to come searching for you when you call, because he lives right inside of you. You are His home, and it’s time to make Him yours. I love you all. Keep fighting the good fight.
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,
1 Peter 3:18
