I've done drugs, and yes, they can lead you to a higher state of conciousness. Still, these are the things I see, so I draw them.

What a breath of fresh air! I astrally projected the first time last week, with some of the members of my Unitarian Universalist congregation. We saw dolphins swimming in the ocean, aliens from a civilization far advanced from our own, the Battle of Waterloo (I never want to see bloodshed like that again), a glimpse of humanity far in the future (good news! our descendents will have a bright future, one without war or poverty), things that just blew my mind.

That's the best proof of all! If only the True Christians would at least try to expand their minds, think of what they could accomplish!

I've never read anyone's mind, but some of the pagans in my congregation are remarkably good at discerning people's thoughts. Tell the truth, it gets a little creepy at times, but it's way, way cool.

Well, now, that all depends on how you define Christian.

You're not wasting their time, Palmer. Landover needs to open its eyes to new experiences, and new, non-linear, non-causal ways of knowing. All of creation is linked by a web, and I belive that those who practice telekinesis, astral projection, telepathy, and the rest are merely using untapped resources in their brains to tap into that web.

An enlightened Christian, open to new experiences, can.

What a shock. Mention Catholics, dancers, artists, jewelers (doubly damned as gay and as Jews), hairdressers, or actors, and somebody at Landover will chime in with a comment about homosexuality. Well, True Christians, there are a lot of Catholics, dancers, artists, jewelers, hairdressers, and actors who are homosexual. There are a lot of virtually every group that are homosexual. There are even homosexual members of the Landover Baptist Church (yes, I have been in touch with some of them, and no, my lips are sealed). There are homosexuals everywhere! Some of them can even astrally project! Isn't it wonderful?
...as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Colossians 3:12-14 (emphasis mine)

I've been absent from Landover for awhile because I just wanted to take a break, and upon reading this thread I just wanted to get my two cents in.

You'd be surprised at what gets tossed around on these forums, any developing technology (e.g. nano-tech) and modular tech are shunned on, people fear what they don't understand (appears to be the case, anyway).
Really though, what do you think Landover...ians? would've thought of electricity when it was being developed? (had Landover been founded before that invention) Probably the same viewpoints some of you have now on today's developing tech.
Just so no one gets the wrong ideas, I detest astral projection.

What is it that you hate about this experience? If you suddenly found yourself experiencing it would you detest yourself?
Once I had an experience where I was out-of-body and was able to travel around the world and have an encounter with a friend from another country who is also able to experience astral travel. It was short lived, but invigorating, and later when we wrote to each other we were able to confirm the experience was shared. It was difficult to comprehend, that's why it seems so mystical.
It's really tough to study this phenomena other than from anecdotal accounts, so I expect you to be incredulous, but that doesn't disprove these experiences I and others share.
How do you know that when you're dreaming that you're not sharing your dream state with other co-dreamers?
Things are going to get worse before they get better.

You're truly an imbecile.
I detest the experience of washing my car. That doesn't mean I detest MYSELF while I wash my car!

He didn't state that he hated astral travel, he was implying that people who promote it should be shunned.
You have stated that you hate homosexuals, right? If you found yourself in a homosexual situation, would you hate yourself?

No, I haven't. In fact, I've stated the exact opposite.
It's a shame you're not half as clever as you like to think you are . . . if you were, you might be qualified for use as a doorstop.

I'm ashamed Sister JennyD! How dare you get his hopes by suggesting one day he may be useful enough to be a doorstop? *chuckle* Next thing you know he's going to retort by posting how successful he is at life and his abundant material possessions.

And thank You, Jesus, that You brought this soul back home safe. I noticed you were gone, Sionis, and was worried that you were being held in Thailand, doped up on opium, and rented out to filthy sex tourists from Germany. I'm happy to see this didn't happen.

While that would be quite the experience (albeit horrible) That is indeed not the case. (Doesn't Germany have a lot of couples that "swing"? or is that France... ) In any case, work and college took up most of my previous online time, but now I'm back so... yeah. Enjoy my antics

A few thoughts for Eldritch:
One can usefully separate experiences and perceptions into two categories:
1. Objective, consensual reality. Things that are verifiable by any observer fall into this category. Anyone can test the effects of gravity, for instance, or the melting point of ice. And all honest testers will find that their observations agree quite well.
2. Subjective, internal reality. Concepts like beauty and experiences like dreams are subjective. They're internal. Everyone does not agree about what is beautiful, and as for your dreams, I cannot perceive them at all. The are not verifiable for all observers.
I suggest that your experiences with lucid dreaming and astral projection are subjective. But what many people mean when they say something is "real" is that it exists in objective, consensual reality. This is a loose, general term, but a useful one. In this sense astral projection "is not real."
(One can logically claim that nothing is objectively real, since my only perception of other observers must itself come into my mind, and hence could be purely subjective. I could be dreaming that other people exist, and that their tests of the melting point of ice agree with mine. In that sense everything could be a dream. But we don't act that way, and we don't really believe that way.)
Now, as far as telekinesis, what is being claimed is that the mind is capable of generating real -- that is, objectively observable, scientifically verifiable -- forces similar to the kinetic forces generated by muscles or by electromagnetic coils. I have whopping big problems with this.
First, there have been no convincing scientific verification of any such a thing. James Randi has offered a large prize for anyone who can demonstrate it, and no one has claimed the prize.
Second, there is no physical mechanism in the brain that suggests it can generate such forces. This kind of thing is not all that mysterious. Just about the only physical force that could plausibly produce telekinesis is electromagnetism, and the human brain is simply not set up to produce external electromagnetic fields capable of moving large objects.
There's nothing to suggest that telekinesis has ever worked, and nothing to suggest our minds could produce the kind of force to make it work. It may be fun to imagine, but I think it will forever remain imaginary -- in the realm of the subjective, internal, dreaming reality.
----
The LORD GOD is the sole worker of miracles! NOTHING that is supernatural cometh from any source but His mighty and INSCRUTABLE provenance.
It is HE who stirs the squid, and troubles the sea through which whales ferry their vast unhuman souls. It is HIS miraculous touch which makes the duck to molt, and turns the season to the Day of the Locust.
If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:
Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name. 2 Chronicles 6:29,33
His alone is the power to turn pure thought to thunderbolts, or -- by merely willing it be so -- to cause a mighty pangolin to ravage a breadfruit. Doth not the sloth in its time conceive His wonders, and the hyrax portend His glory? Verily!
Amen! AMEN!

I'm not sure this is telekenesis, but it does involve your ipod and your brain's 'waves'.

The Korean companies new Cyber MC glasses aim to help improve your education, loss weight, quit smoking, and relieve stress. If all else fails you can also play games with the glasses.
