Astral Projection is a forbidden practice for Roman Catholics because the soul; containing all reason, thought, memories, emotion, attitudes, and beliefs; leaves the physical body during a wake state, and this can cause bizarre belief systems to develop, based on improperly interpreted sensations from the reality elevated from, and parallel to three dimensional reality.
The soul in an agnostic state; that is indifferent toward The Holy Trinity, or Triune God God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit; is left without protection, roaming the atmosphere, and perhaps some distance beyond this in a spiritual ghetto that surrounds the earth: The Third Heaven. The Third Heaven is ruled by spiritual hosts of wickedness in the high places, which will send demons to deceive those who will not keep to the domain of the world.
A human soul, when detached from the physical body, during a waking state, without the protection of The Roman Catholic God, Jesus Christ, is very vulnerable to molestation by demons.
Roman Catholics refer to escorted travel in the spiritual dimension, an anointing. Jesus Christ is The Anointed of God, Who, while in human form was constantly aware of All Truth, regardless of the shortcomings of the human sensory channels. He was, therefore, constantly in a state of Astral Projection, or anointing. The anointed of God will prophesy Truth directly from God, perform miraculous healings, order the atmosphere to obey them, stop rain from falling in a certain area, pass through solid objects, and/or become invisible when threatened.
The first sentence says it's a forbidden practice, but the last few paragraphs say it's only because it's not within the protection of the Jesus... so it CAN be done, just frowned upon to do it under your own steam, which really is the deal with Christian magic-- like faith healing. Calling it anointing instead of APing strikes me as a little pedantic. ;-P
"I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body , I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven."
-- 2 Corinthians 12:2
^_^ Astral Projection is inevitable, everybody does it voluntarily or unvoluntarily, so there is no point to be worrying about it. When I was 13, they told me what I was doing was forbidden and dangerous, but there was nothing I could do to stop it, so I had to embrace it.
