Not sure what this is all about but I was referring to projecting outside the physical body (OBE, out of body experience) either consciously or unconsciously. One can meditate on the knowledge of dream or dreamless sleep. Yes but nothing to do with AP/OBE. Basically meditating non-stop in layman's terms.

It's another popular siddhi but it won't happen to everyone no matter how hard one tries to develop this ability. Outlined here: http://www.yogasutras.com/On_Clownin_Siddhis.html If it happens, cool, fun stuff but tbh better not focusing on it as it's highly distracting (like all siddhis) and there are practitioners that make money out of it and promote themselves as the ultimate teachers. This only reinforces the EGO. If it doesn't happen, even better as you won't be distracted by it.

And you know what the best (it would be shocking to some) part is: We are all living all lives simultaneously. Akin to quantum entanglement: "Phenomenon wherein the quantum state of each particle in a group cannot be described independently of the state of the others." This explains why we develop and maintain reincarnation relationships that span across many lifetimes. Eventually you'll drop them off: your journey is over. This stuff is beyond religion. The deeper you go the less religious one becomes to the point of becoming more and more aware of TOTALITY. Taoism fills that category really well even though it doesn't discuss this topic since it is more concerned about the dynamics of Y&Y.

No one has the perfect answer to this complex topic. Btw, you answered yourself in the second paragraph. The ultimate YOU projects each mini-copies of you which will vary accordingly. View them as leaves on the tree connected by the branches. We all store tiny fragments of all our lifetimes. You can access them via deep meditation, but it's a siddhi so not everyone may have developed that ability. Rather then being a small drop we are the ENTIRE OCEAN.

Sure I know about it. It falls under one the following categories: 1. Cult 2. BS 3. Both

FYI:

It's a moving substance. Love it in the curries I cook weekly. Well, turmeric is a very common ingredient in Indian cuisine. Herb properties here: https://www.americandragon.com/Individualherbsupdate/JiangHuang.html
