Aboriginal Dreamtime Facts — The Secrets of Astral Projection

Let’s see if we can separate Aboriginal Dreamtime facts from myths. Could this tradition hold the secrets of astral projection and time travel?

Most people know Western theology combines stories from ancient Assyria, Babylon, and Persia. We find them in the writings of Hammurabi, the sixth king of the First Babylonian Dynasty (1810 — 1750 BC). All the stories from these regions are virtually the same.

Modern cosmology has much in common with the stories of the Australian Aborigines. The Luritja people tell about a great fire coming down from the sky. It divested the Earth, changing the climate. It is an accurate description of a meteor collision. There is evidence of such an event in South America that would have affected the world. This event occurred about 12,500 years ago.

Aboriginal Dreamtime Myths

Dreamtime is a unique version of the Shamanic Journey. Each region in Australia has its own process and cosmology. These traditions have been handed down through generations by indigenous communities. Aboriginal culture includes a diverse number of myths and legends about creation. They are stories that have unique details, spiritual symbolism, and cosmology. The Dreamtime myths rival many religions in terms of their level of detail. Many historians believe these legends are even older than those of Western theology.

“I lived for a couple of years when I was 9 years old on beautiful Aboriginal sacred land in a town of a thousand people in northwestern Australia. It’s where the Aborigines are still very connected to their culture, the Dreamtime culture. It was really quite a special experience.” — Isabel Lucas

Most forms of the Shamanic Journey use rhythmic sounds and sometimes psychotropic additives. This process is a common thread worldwide in many indigenous cultures. Yet, we do not know the exact mechanism of this process. Aboriginal Dreamtime facts are limited to the elements we can replicate and observe. We are not sure if it requires a specific mantra like the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. If that is the case, the journey is available only to those who prepare according to tribal tradition. It keeps the integrity of the process safe. But it limits our ability to understand the process.

We know Dreamtime comes from the tradition of shamanism. The Shamanic Journey is a significant part of shamanism. This inward journey is a worldwide phenomenon that opens awareness to a separate state of consciousness. It is humankind’s first spiritual technology, which opens a doorway to a state of awareness. Michael Harner (2) calls the state “The Shamanic State of Consciousness” (SSC). In this state, the brainwaves are in the theta-wave range between 4 to 7Hz.

Here is where Aboriginal Dreamtime facts become murky. When we add our imagination to the mix, we inject elements that make it difficult for others to replicate. It’s not impossible to have a shared shamanic experience. But a shared out-of-body experience is unique to these traditions. How it is done is still a mystery. If you have experience with the Shamanic Journey, this form of astral projection is not that far-fetched.

“The Pintupi believe nothing was or is created by humans; it was all there from the beginning arising from the Dreaming. The conception and birth of an individual also arise from dreaming.

Before conception, a person is said to be sitting as an Aboriginal Dreamtime being. This process is thought of as a transformation from the Dreaming into the actual.  Dreaming links everything together. Thus, a person is linked to a place.

Dreaming provides an identity for the person, an identity that has existed before the person’s birth and will exist after.  Thus Pintupi comes from the Pintupi land, which is they’re Dreaming.” ― Fred Alan Wolf, The Dreaming Universe: A Mind-Expanding Journey into the Realm Where Psyche and Physics Meet

The Shamanic Journey is a process we find in many ingenuous cultures. This proliferation shows the importance of the inward journey. Each culture found its own way of using musical rhythm to develop its own way. Each culture has a unique way of interpreting the symbolism of the mind. The Aboriginal people left glimpses of their understanding in the artwork they left in caves.

Aboriginal Dreamtime Facts

The Aboriginal form (1) differs from other forms of Shamanic Travel in a few significant ways. With this form, practitioners view events in the past or the future. So, this sounds like the experience of projecting awareness and time travel. Most other forms of the Shamanic Journey deal only with the spirit world.

The problem is the process is difficult to replicate. Alberto Villoldo is a modern-day Shaman. He says it is possible to replicate the astral projection experience. However, it requires intensive training in the culture and process. The best way is to live with the tribe and learn from a trusted shaman. The curriculum of preparation is not something they disclose to strangers. You must prove your worthiness to receive the training.

“So what is the Dreaming? I would say the Dreaming is a non-indigenous term used in its broadest sense to describe the stories of our ancestors and how they shaped the land and how they are still part of the land… Across Aboriginal Australia, there are as many terms for Dreaming as there are language groups.” — Hetti Perkins

Another thing that distinguishes it from other forms of the Shamanic Journey is how the process is implemented. The practitioner often stands on one leg rather than sitting or dancing, as in other forms. The traveler stands this way sometimes for several hours.

Like most shamanic journey forms, they also use rhythmic sounds to induce this state. Some traditions use psychotropic drugs.

In this state, the practitioner projects their consciousness through time. This projection of awareness is the essence of time travel or astral projection. Somehow, these pioneers of consciousness have a way of leaping forward or backward in time. They can accurately describe events thousands of miles away on other continents. Bet you can’t do that.

Aboriginal Dreamtime Facts vs. Transcendental Consciousness

Transcendental consciousness (TC) differs from SSC. TC is the 4th state of awareness. This level of consciousness underlies our default states: waking, dreaming, and sleeping. The unique property of this state is pure awareness without thought.

Most people use a mantra to reach this partition of awareness. The most popular form is Japa meditation or Transcendental Meditation (TM), which differs from SSC.

“Aboriginal Dreamtime infuses all matter and energy, connecting every creature, every rock, every star and every ray of light or bit of cosmic dust. The power to dream is the power to take part in creation itself. Dreaming reality is not only an ability but a duty, one all humans must perform with grace so that our grandchildren will inherit a world where they can live in peace and abundance.”  ― Alberto Villoldo, Courageous Dreaming: How Shamans Dream the World into Being
