For one the realm is not this world, so I don't even see how this could happen. For two, the realm is not real, it's a psychological realm. I hadn't seen anything there pointing to it being real. It's extremely vivid and can be confused for being a reality, especially given that a common starting place is a mirror copy of someone's home. But this doesn't make it real, it's not like stranger things upside down where if your friends go there, you all meet and then back on earth you recall the same experience. It's a psychological realm. Munroe would probably beg to differ with you, at least as far as the realm in which he pinched the person's buttocks. That's exactly what he was trying to verify, was his dream-like experience of floating and traveling and being at someone's house an experience of the real world, or of something else? He satisfied himself that it was this world, with that experiment. I think there are others that make the same claim, though I don't know that for sure. I myself have never been tempted to experiment with "lucid dreaming", with trying to separate some aspect of myself from the physical body and travel around.

I am sure Mr Munroe had a firm grasp of projection. Ever since I watched Forrest Gump, whenever I read the word "buttocks" I always hear it in FG's voice. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not really an experiment though, maybe it convinced Monroe, but I wouldn't extrapolate too much from it. In my experience it's an entirely psychological realm, it does look extremely vivid though, as vivid as reality, thus I can understand why the slightest coincidence could make someone believe it's somehow linked to reality. The issue imo is when one starts spending "reality time" to explain this or that which happened in "astral time", and of course if someone really wants to see connections, then connections they will see.

There's certainly a lot of lore out there, and you're right to consider most of it a waste of time (IMHO). I'm not ready to dismiss miracles altogether, though, and even if Olaf Blanke has demonstrated an ability to produce out-of-body sensations in test subjects by mechanical means, I'm not entirely sure that people haven't seen things that couldn't be seen from their physical location. I believe that it's possible for things outside the boundaries of the senses to effect the placement of my attention, and in some cases for activity to manifest from that location. When you find your place where you are, practice occurs, actualizing the fundamental point. When you find your way at this moment, practice occurs, actualizing the fundamental point… Although actualized immediately, the inconceivable may not be apparent.
