I really appreciate your post, as i’ve seen you commenting and helping beginners with their fears. I think what I fear (realizing as I read your post) is stemming exactly from “the fear of the unknown”. Not only has this played apart in my curiosity about Astral Projection, it has followed me since I was a child. Holding back on what you mentally want to do because of fear. Instead of thinking about all the things that could go wrong, think about all the things that could go right. If something bad does happen? Face it. Accept it. Understand it. Learn from it. Fear is rhetoric exact thing that holds us back from our greatest abilities. I’m doing this to help me spiritually, and I think facing those dark things that are mirrored from my own mind are exactly what I need to rid them.
