 Some time ago I met this guy in a party. Name : Clif last name unknown,
 Place of contact : Measurex, Cupertino, CA.
 He was telling me his experiences in astral projection. For those who
 don't know: astral projection is the science of projecting oneself
 mentally out of your body to travel several hundreds of miles away
 experiencing the five senses while you do so. Seems amazing !!.
 Some claim planetary travel too!!!!. I do not know how much 
 credibility you give this, but I think some thing of this kind
 has been acheived and probably is being experienced by many people
 today. He had to learn this (he said,) over a period of 5 years
 and he had experimented with plants testing theories of telekinesis.
 It appears he got some positive results with the experiments with
 plants. So , encouraged, he went looking for some guidance. He was
 born on Maritus Island, Indian ocean -- if my geography is correct,
 with French father and British mother and was quite well acquainted
 with the Hindu culture and religion, at that time. With this background
 it was natural that he look for a guide in Hindu religion I suppose.
 Anyway, comming back to the subject, he did all the plant experiments
 in South Africa. So he looked for a guide around and found a 'guru'
 in Zimbwabe it seems. It was with this guru he got to know more about
 astral projection. His first experience, he said, was to find himself
 on the top of the roof and look around and was quite astonished!!.

I do not know how this is related to re-incarnation but this I feel
is a part of Hindu religion. Mystics , religion, charltans --- it
is very difficult to seperate facts from fiction, however, should
you have any intentions of finding more about such things, I feel
that you must be *VERY* persistant and persever in your search.

BTW Clif also said he has given up astral projections and astral travel
because he has had enough of it and now he is *INTO* meditation.

All of the above has been put on the net without his knowledge, so
if you'd like to get in touch with him, please mail me, and I'll
pass along whatever info to you. 

Please note: All or any such spiritualism will help you if and only 
if your intentions of using such tools are for general good i.e.
whatever you try, only if you are selflessly oriented would some 
good come out of it ...this is what he said!.

 Skepticism is welcome, so long as there are no flames either at me
 or at Clif.
