Insidious executes astral projection extremely well. We hear Elise calming the one-time gifted astral traveler. Josh focuses on the center of his forehead, the point which the astral body leaves the physical body. The astral projection scene is cool to watch on the silver screen. It's hard to believe Insidious only cost $1.5 million to produce. Movie studios are probably fighting to get Leigh Whannel and James Wan to make a future movie.
The two friends are making noise in Hollywood. They made the Saw franchise into a torture porn show. Moviegoers watch sinful people choose to accept torture in order to survive. Insidious has an underlining meaning that people must abandon conventional thinking to adopt cognitive perception.
Astral projection is possible with a simple mind. You don't need to be a gifted astral traveler to move about the subplanes. The astral world is awaiting your astral body. Your dreams and fantasies are within your reach. Astral projection is your guide to realizing dreams and goals.
It is rather interesting to see Josh open his eyes to say that this is pointless. He turns around to find his physical body in a meditative state of being. The astral body scene is one of the best depictions of astral projection in movies. We see two worlds - the physical and the astral world.
Insidious is successful because of astral projection. Astral projection in horror movies is rarely done. The Shocker depicts astral projection through energy. Psychic Killer is a mid 70's movie about astral projection. Horror movies consolidated with sub-genres such as possession, serial killer, and spiritual premises will make noise in the box office.
I really enjoyed the astral projection discussions, especially the ending with Elise hypnotizing Josh to enter The Further, also known as the astral world or astral plane. We see unsettled spirits wondering around The Astral Hell of the subplanes. Insidious is a great astral horror movie that makes The Apparition look like a low-budget student film. Astral projection is executed perfectly on screen to increase awareness of this astral art.
Good work Leigh Whannel and James Wan for bringing astral projection back to Hollywood. The Egyptians already adopted astral projection into their culture. Old ancient paintings portray Egyptians leaving their body through the OBE. If Insidious 2 is optioned with astral projection reemerging as the premise, we can expect the horror movie to make a fortune. Thanks!
I watched this movie without realizing its a horror movie. Terrified me a bit, however once I got over that I watched it again and it was amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhen you read about astral projection everyone makes it sound so difficult to do. After watching this movie, like you said in your post, astral projection is so simple :)
Have you done astral projection? and if so what techniques do u use?
Thank you by the way for your posts they're amazing :)
Hi Eve,
ReplyDeleteInsidious is a good horror movie with astral projection as a sub-genre of science fiction. The possession theme is effective to show how opening a door to the subplanes can allow the dead to enter the physical world.
Astral projection is tough to do if you don't utilize good techniques. Another website discusses how eye floaters can enable lucid dreaming. While in the lucid dreaming state, you can activate astral projection.
I astral project through sleep paralysis. I'm no master at astral projection. However, I believe you can probably do it on command with clearing your mind and guiding your astral body to leave your body. The Astral Travel book on the left panel is a good guide to do astral projection.
Thanks for your kind words. I also run AstralWriter.com and DreamResearch.org
