<p>At present i am in an argument with a person who states that there is nothing evil about astral travel.</p>
<p>he asks...</p>
<p><em>if one repents and does astral travel and a demon does not latch hold of the body, is it STILL a inherent sin to astral travel then? If yes, why?</em><br/><br/>Lets assume that his repentance puts his name back into the Book of Life after initially being born a sinner.<br/><br/>he wants to know how and why astral travel is a sin and how it will make him back-slide.<br/><br/>i suppose communing with the dead (Rephaim, demons) might be adequate and astral traveling is asking for trouble with demonic possession. But he won't listen to me.<br/><br/>As astral travel is not mentioned in the Book of Enoch, then would it be wise to assume that YHWH classed astral travel under the general category of sorcery ?</p>
<p><br/>During the days of Enoch, sorcery was majik and undefined by science at that moment in time, is astral travel sorcery and neutral as astral travel wasn't even understood during those days ?</p>
<p>Everything was generalized as alchemy, sorcery and astrology.<br/><br/>If demons commune with one another is it plausible that there is a demon by his side waiting for him to astral travel seeing that he and i have been thread posting for 2 weeks now ?<br/><br/>he thinks he is safe with the armor of YHWH on Him.<br/><br/>he said he prayed for a direct audible answer and got nothing.<br/><br/>i have tried quotes from Timothy, the Book of Enoch and Revelation 21:8. he won't listen.<br/><br/>Do you have any advice like anything more detailed than <em>'imagine living in a down-town district and leaving your front door open. Going to bed with your lights on and falling asleep. Either something evil will enter your house or nothing will enter. Eventually a nephil spirit will enter the house through the open front door. ?</em><br/><br/>Specific detail, like what the demon does will be useful. Will it enter the mind as a new '<em>altar</em>'. Will it instantly go on a killing spree like in the James Holmes Batman killings ?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Here was his response so far to my general points like '<em>be wary of the worthless mystery</em>'.</p>
<p>'<em>if you don’t know if astral travel is an inherent sin, after one repents and no demon attaches, then why do you think it still MAY be a sin if you don’t KNOW this</em>?' <br/><br/><em>Also, you said you trust an immortal seraph about it. Ok, maybe this immortal seraph can withstand the wisdom God gave me and planted in my brain, and God’s wisdom has been around a lot longer than this seraph. I am going to ask the same question to this seraph through you, if one repents and does astral travel and a demon does not latch hold of the body, is it STILL a inherent sin to astral travel then? If yes, why? What’s his answer</em>?<br/><br/>i accept that there are no seraphs here, but does anyone have any ideas as to how to get this sinner to see the light and seek forgiveness before his spirit ends up in sheol ?</p>

Hsa 6:6<br/><br/>But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Mat 9:13<br/><br/>But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. Mat 12:7<br/> <br/>In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. Jer 31:29<br/><br/>But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. Jer 21:30<br/><br/>What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge? <br/><br/>As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.<br/><br/>Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. <br/><br/>But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,...Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.

<p>when we dream, our spirits leave our bodies and operate on the spiritual plane. forcing this condition beyond what naturally occurs can be highly dangerous. there was a time, before i accepted Yahushua, when i frequently astral projected as well.. it may seem like fun and games, but one in that state is highly vulnerable. </p>
<p>for anyone reading this who may be considering initiating astral projection, please consider.. in the Bible, the Holy Spirit always led His people through the dimensional barrier to the spirit realm.. never did we see one of His people projecting themselves through.. and, if you're still considering doing it, the next best advice to 'don't do it' is: Pray for an answer as to whether or not it is wrong.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here is some good information from <a href="http://stopsleepparalysis.org/" target="_blank">stopsleepparalysis.org</a>on the common causes of the type of sleep paralysis discussed in this article..</p>
<h1 title="demonic demon ghost alien grey reptilian">10 Causes of Sleep Paralysis</h1>
<p><strong>1.) The most common causes of sleep paralysis we have dealt with is people that have in some way been involved with various levels, even very light level occult practices. Things such as:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Ouiji boards,</li>
<li>tarot cards,</li>
<li>most types of meditation,</li>
<li>spirit channeling,</li>
<li>even obsessive research about the occult and/or UFO’s can be an open doorway for some people.</li>
</ul>
<p>Generally, the deeper the person goes into the occult the more doors they open, and the more authority the demons gain over them, which can lead to severe physical attacks and even abductions in some cases.</p>
<p>t is important to realize that the demons gain more authority over you the deeper you go, the more you “embrace” the experience. That is, they have a keen interest in a person becoming more active in the occult.</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>2.) Another cause is some form of a generational “doorway” that has been opened for the person,</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>usually by a parent or grandparent.</li>
<li>Most often when a grandfather had been involved in high level Masonic rituals.</li>
<li>This can also happen if parents or grandparents were involved in the occult on some level.</li>
<li>This is usually the issue with people who have had sleep paralysis since they were very young.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>3.) Another, rarer possibility is that there is a highly demonized object in the room.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>This can be crystals,</li>
<li>books,</li>
<li>or statues.</li>
<li>Really just about anything can be demonized,</li>
<li>even if the person attaching the demonic presence thinks they are only attaching “energy” or something else.</li>
</ul>
<p>As I said it is more rare, but still is possible. <a style="white-space: nowrap;" class="BLBST_a" rel="NKJV.Deut.7.25-26" href="http://www.blb.org/search/preSearch.cfm?Criteria=Deut.+7.25-26&t=NKJV" target="">Deut. 7:25-26</a>, <a style="white-space: nowrap;" class="BLBST_a" rel="NKJV.Joshua.7.1" href="http://www.blb.org/search/preSearch.cfm?Criteria=Joshua+7.1&t=NKJV" target="">Joshua 7:1</a>, <a style="white-space: nowrap;" class="BLBST_a" rel="NKJV.1Corinthians.10.20-21" href="http://www.blb.org/search/preSearch.cfm?Criteria=1Corinthians+10.20-21&t=NKJV" target="">1 Corinthians 10:20-21</a>, <a style="white-space: nowrap;" class="BLBST_a" rel="NKJV.Deuteronomy.32.17" href="http://www.blb.org/search/preSearch.cfm?Criteria=Deuteronomy+32.17&t=NKJV" target="">Deuteronomy 32:17</a>, <a style="white-space: nowrap;" class="BLBST_a" rel="NKJV.Leviticus.17.7" href="http://www.blb.org/search/preSearch.cfm?Criteria=Leviticus+17.7&t=NKJV" target="">Leviticus 17:7</a></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>4.) Severe anger can also be a cause.</strong></p>
<p><a style="white-space: nowrap;" class="BLBST_a" rel="NKJV.Ephesians.4.26" href="http://www.blb.org/search/preSearch.cfm?Criteria=Ephesians+4.26&t=NKJV" target="">Ephesians 4:26</a>says: In your anger do not sin, Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>5.) If a significant other or spouse has some level of demonic possession, sexual intercourse can transfer sleep paralysis from one person to another.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>6.) People have reported that watching horror movies to an extreme extent can lead to SP</strong>.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>7.) There have been reports that sexual immorality has lead to sleep paralysis</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>8.) There are very rare cases where, usually Satanists, either in a group or by themselves, have reported using astral travel to enter into the room of certain people at night (usually for sexual purposes.) This can cause similar symptoms of sleep paralysis but usually this should be obvious that it is a human, and not just an evil spirit pretending to be a human.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>9.) Drugs of many types can cause sleep paralysis. Especially the harder types.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>10.) It seems that certain people have different “thresholds” as to when they get, or how severe sleep paralysis is for them when they get it.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>For example, almost everyone that participates in severe occult practices experience it,</li>
<li>but there are some people who only need to read about occult practices or UFO’s or some other thing before it begins with them.</li>
<li>The same is true with certain types of immorality it seems that it is more about the persons heart rather than the severity of the offense.</li>
</ul>
