The Myth of Astral Projection

About this book

Wissam Osama Al-Ash traces astral projection from ancient traditions to contemporary accounts of paralysis, hallucination, and loss of control. Combining historical inquiry, psychological interpretation, reported experiences, and a firm Islamic theological perspective, he asks where imagination ends and danger begins. The book challenges romanticised ideas of leaving the body and urges readers to examine the evidence before treating the practice as harmless exploration.
