And there, my sweet friend, is the rub.
Let's take astral travel just as an example. Sure, one can experience it subjectively and if that's their truth, fine.
But here's the thing: Such an experience runs so counter to the currently-understood laws of the universe, physics, time and and even personality that they completely turn those notions upside down. For instance, can an "astral being" (not sure of the terminology here, so please bear with me) travel faster than light? Can an astral being travel back in time? Does an astral being have mass? Is it affected by magnetic fields? Is it truly "the soul" or something else?
Enquiring minds want to know! That's not based in fear, not by a long shot... it's rabid curiosity! And if it is true, it could blow the fundamentals of, for instance, communication right out of the water. Imagine the possibilities of having one's presence or consciousness in two places at once, or having the ability to gather information at, or faster than, the speed of light! Or travelling to, say, Mars for research purposes without ever having the corporeal body leave Earth!
The possibilities are as endless as one's imagination...
but only if it can be proved.
So don't allow the fear of examining the phenomena derail the tremendous potential benefits.
