just for fun.....

what kind of astral weapons are your favorite?

Not that i'm an expert on this kind of thing, i mean i do the lucid dream bit now and again, but...

If you're talkin about weapons as in - sharp things or things that shoot - to be used within an astral projection state of mind, doesn't that just totally destroy the entire idea or concept of relaxed, focussed freedom if you're going to bring violence and hurting people into the equasion?

What if the sharp things or things that shoot put you in a relaxed, focussed freedom state?

For example i used to live in the ghetto, (well as close as you can get in OR) and i slept with a .45 undear my pillow, that relaxed me.

haha, i never thought of it in that kind of way. Pardon me for that.

I was thinkin of them as like, when you're in an astral state, you using them.

I know i was just trying to think out side the box alittle.

Well, i just hope E_V was thinkin the way you were.

A weapon used in astral projection is just a focus point. Just like stones, gems, and the like are used for 'spell casting'..

Does it have to be a weapon? Or is that just a name?

I mean, something designed for use in a violent capacity doesn't sound like the best thing for a focal point when trying to become relaxed and rested. I know it may work for some people to make them feel safe but...

astral weapons....like when you're popping into realms you don't belong, and those that do belong there let you know it?

i've never been fond of going into their world, it's so much more fun pulling them into ours.

Well, would it be that different from what the Japanese Samurai and European Knights using their sword as a focal point for meditation and prayer? My adopted brother meditates to/with his Barrett before going on an OP in Iraq, would that count? Its not really astral projection but as I understand it not that different.

I suppose it depends what kind of energies you are trying to focus.

Thinking about it and looking into it I guess I can understand If you're preparing for an op or going into war or something, with the samurai and knights i can understand that - reaching a state where the sword or bakkai or whatever is an extension of your own body, your reach/strike/arm etc.

I guess i can understand it in some situ. Just nothing i've really explored before - hence i'm a novice to the ideas.
