yes. everyone can learn it. fear will slow down your progress though so you will have to learn to trust the experience and that it is completely safe (which it is) before you will become an 'expert'. i suggest you read up on everything about it that you can find, and look into the things that scare you so that you can see that there is no reason to fear them. how long it takes differs from person to person, but generally it requires dedication, practice and patience to achieve it. if you think you have that, go for it.
as for having negative experiences if you are afraid, what will most likely happen is that you will be unable to project because fear lowers your vibration and you will snap back into your body. if however you project into the astral and have an astral projection instead of an obe (the diffrence being that in obes you go to the real time zone or RTZ which is basically reality, whereas the astral is where u dream) you will notice that things are a bit different. in the astral thought = reality, our world is a reflection of this but here things take 'time' to manifest whereas there its instant. therefore, if you think you will encounter evil astral beings, you probably will. its therefore important that you go with love, because like attracts like. i personally dont believe they are there unless you make them be there, so you really have nothing to fear except your own imagination, which you can control, or learn to control. if you are a happy person normally, and get happy when drunk or on drugs, you will likely have pleasant obes. thats my experience anyway
