Being a scientist myself, I think it would be very difficult if not impossible to prove conclusively that OBE's exist and then write a peer reviewed article on the results. Scientists like hard facts/evidence. The first step would be coming up with a scientific experiment to test OBEs. Maybe have someone in one room astrally project and then figure out things in another room? But then that may just prove that the person is a psychic, not necessarily astral travelling. We need some device that could record astral bodies to prove OBE's.

That is the main problem. Sometimes the scientific method needs more tools to be able to prove something. For example: people knew germs existed (because people got sick), but they never saw the germs until a magnifying glass was invented.

Lots of people think astral bodies sound crazy; but that's simply because astral bodies are unknown to most people. It's just like how people didn't know the earth was round, so the people who called it round were called crazy, when in fact they were right.

The fact is astral projection exists; it happens repeatedly to people. Surely myself and Robert Bruce did not hallucinate the exact same things he explained in Astral Dynamics. Hallucinations vary from person to person. It's just annoying knowing something is real and most people don't even know it or ignorantly say it isn't real.
