It depends. Not if you're having reality fluctuations. The astral is very malleable.
For more info look at the 'Alice in Wonderland' effect, or 'Reality Fluctuations', either in the AD Pedia or on the main site.
In your minds (the ones that astro project alot) is this proof for you that there is life after death?
Verification. Proof of the subjective is impossible. It can always be explained away, if you're a skeptic.Quote:

He told me I should do it. A few months later my long-lost aunt died and I got to meet my long-lost cousin, who fit the description perfectly. Since they were estranged from the family she had no other relative to help her do what she needed to, so on top of losing her mother, she had no other support structure. So we went across the country to help her- and it was obvious she needed help. We also reconnected and talked a lot about the things that had happened in the past (which is why I had forgotten about them in the first place). The visit was as good for me as it was for her.
My conclusion? This left no doubt in my mind as to the 'objective' reality of what is subjective.
I'm sure a psychologist or other type of skeptic could take apart this experience and explain it away as repressed memories, and a lot of coincidence, coupled with the ap itself, which could be pathologized.
However, it was real to me and verified my belief.
So... :wink:

In the end, everything is subjective, it all comes down to how easily those observations can be brought back to an objective center.Quote:

What it all comes down to is that, you can never convince a sceptic. I know, because I am one. As a scientist, I will never convince my colegues that quantum mechanics tells right form the get go that it is either a) funamentaly wrong, however accurate it is or b) proof of that our objective, absolute, imperical, process called the scientific method leads us to a subjective understanding of reality.
I could also point to the several simple proofs in mathematics, where even the simplest behavior is unprovable by sheer logic. The quantum mechanical theory and those mathematical proofs all tell us that our methods are at least limited and possibly flawed, however effective they may be.
