Astral Projection and Risk / Danger

[Silk]

I am trying to research any risk and/or danger to astral projection according to The Law of One or any other?
Any comments or advice are welcome.

The Carla case must be set apart in stark contrast to others for a couple reasons, mostly having to do with the entity's service as a vocal instrument to those of Ra, and the natural "opposition" this would attract.

To the "casual" entity, the risk/danger would be minimal and marginal at best(*). The more "serious" entity, if imbalanced and actively seeking/participating in this type of experience, will attract certain opportune influences which might be less-than-totally-positive (especially if this entity is of a "wandering" background).

It is to be understood every entity exists in an OBE state already (the 3D veil makes this non-obvious). This is why physical tiredness demands a period of bodily rest. Upon sleep, every entity is "dissociated" (to greater or lesser extent) from their physical shell. The typical OBE is, in and of itself, a "bubble dream" occurring within the entity's sphere of influence. Though "dislodged", the entity is, for all intents and purposes, with its body. In this OBE state, the entity is relatively "safe".

It should also be noted an OBE need not involve extravagant Earthly "excursions" (which is what is stereotypically associated with a "projection"—walking out the house with a imaginary carbon-copy of your physical self, visiting neighboring locales, familiar places, etc—which is closer to being a "ghost", albeit in this case lucidly so).

This is why it is perhaps best to pursue the "lucid dream" type of OBE rather than the "Earthly projection" type. Though initially fascinating (to wake up realizing that body on the bed isn't "you" and that you can "pass thru walls" and all that jazz), the latter isn't particularly useful aside from helping one "wake up" to the nature of the physical dream, become less attached to the body/ego/identity, and cast out all fear of death(*).

Although positive services may be rendered in this "Earthly" type of OBE (as when entities "warn" relatives of impending events or come as bedside "apparitions" pre-/post-death), the "lucid dream" type is, potentially, far more powerful, less constrained, and overall "brighter" and more vibrationally "vertical," spiritually-speaking (as opposed to the relative "murky" and "flatline" nature the "Earthly" type of OBE typically involves).

NDE's are also worth exploring, if only for inspirational purposes (the "lucid dream" OBE has, in its more advanced degree, this very same potential to attain contact/communion with the "oversoul").

(*)You might benefit from perusing Sylvan Muldoon's and Robert Crookall's works, whereupon several hundreds of (mostly non-spiritually inclined) 3D entities recount very-matter-of-factly their (almost unanimously positive) experiences (some had a "gift" for it, most were "accidental" awakenings into the OBE state via a multitude of triggers such as illnesses, falls, or anesthesia).
Average those out and you have your risk/dangers

These are fine starting points:

• Crookall - The Study And Practice Of Astral Projection (1960)
  
• Crookall - Case-Book of Astral Projection, 545-746 (1980)
  
• Muldoon - Projection of the Astral Body (1929)
  
• Muldoon - The Phenomena of Astral Projection (1951)
  

There's a couple other perennial authors as well as more modern ones. The above are simply more "broad" or "all-encompassing" since they are casebooks rather than personal stories (like, say Oliver Fox's). But if they are too "vintage" for your taste, try William Buhlman's Adventures Beyond the Body (1996). Also sample some OBE/NDE radio podcasts for a more extensive array of experiences.

Although not to be discouraged, it should be noted OBEs have also a great potential for becoming a distraction and stumbling block upon the spiritual path :exclamation:
