This is in answer to the original question about 'Reincarnation' and Astral Projection. I would suggest you read the book 'Autobiography of a Yogi' by Swami Paramahansa Yogananda. The book is available at any of the SRF(Self realization Fellowship) centers in most major cities. It is up to you to believe the contents of the book.The human mind is a reservior of many thought forms. The brain is the physical entity which holds them. It is my understanding that even a Genius among us uses only about 10% of what the brain is really capable of!!! When I talk to people who have the experiance of Astral projection and out of body experiances, these are my thoughts: 1. May be they have higher level of perception. 2. May be more channels of information are open them. 3. May be someday I may reach that level rather than saying it does not exist.

I'd like to point out that (3) above implicitly assumes the truth of (1) or (2). This is one of the things that make me uncomfortable. We often let a desire for something attractive (and initially nebulous, so that its implications are not obvious!) transform some of our hypotheses into conclusions.
