Ah Sageous! Your words are like a large bucket of icy water being dumped on my head! 
No need for apologies, you have made some very valid statements and I appreciate your candor! I choose to see you as the Yang to my Yin, or perhaps as the Yin to my Yang - whatever seems most applicable.
I will argue a few points with you, not with any intent to harm or offend. Just a genteel sort of arguing on the points I disagree with.
Do you know where you will find books by Robert Monroe (a successful businessman/CEO), Albert Taylor (a former NASA engineer), Bruce Moen (an engineer) and Dianne Morissey (a Christian who was electrocuted and who died then came back)? In the non-fiction section. Implying of course that they are not fiction. Of course there is no way to prove what these people have written are not lies, but considering who these people are (and in Monroe's case were), their different walks of life, different family situations, different time periods of writing, and access to different or no materials by other authors, when you consider they all share similar experiences then, in the words of Doyle, "How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?"
Now to cover the alphabet:
I remain open to all possibilities. My intention, my goal, is to shape my belief system around THE TRUTH. Not my perceived truth, not the perceived truth from others. Nothing I find in any book or religious tome. Nothing anyone here, in a church, an ashram, or a Buddhist temple may tell me. Only what I know to be THE TRUTH. By this I mean are there really astral planes, as I now believe, or is it just Heaven and Hell, as I used to believe? Is there anything outside of physical reality, as I believe? All my beliefs are fluid right now, as fluid as I am. I am water. I flow. I am trying to flow in my Life's Purpose, knowing who I am and realizing my dreams (one of my daily statements.)
I could detail a list of reflections I have when I think about this but the point is I am willing to be proven wrong and change what I currently believe. Once I find THE TRUTH I may even be able to free myself from the chains of all religion. So please do not worry that I will go wily-nilly believing in everything people say. I constantly weigh people's statements. I constantly seek THE TRUTH. I keep only that which seems right to me at the time, the things based on my research and experiences which seems to be correct. But I will release those same beliefs quickly in the instant they are disproven. I have given myself a hard, almost impossible quest here. But this is the path I have chosen.
a. Simple powers of observation. I have made it quite clear, in my postings and in the sections I frequent exactly what I am trying to accomplish. It doesn't take a psychic to figure out that, "Hey! This guy wouldn't mind it if I tried to get him out of his body!"
b. For sheer fun of course, or scientific discovery. If someone is having fun, experimenting, or doing both, trying to get another person out of their body would be a challenge, not a bother. I'm certainly going to do it to a few people here, when I have the ability to do so. You're second on my list 
c. Well let's see, how could I handle this? I know! Go to Facebook. Look up Yogi, Sufi, Swami, Monks, etc. Obviously to be on Facebook these people, the ones who are truly behind their accounts of course, either own a computer or have access to one. Robert Moss, a writer, has a computer. Robert Monroe started Hemi-Sync, which is online. ShadowWalker is a forum user here who is also active at YouTube (I get the sense he certainly has the power to do this.) Browse YouTube. You'll probably find a few people there who will offer to take you out of your body. Of course I don't have the power yet, but I will, and I have a computer. As I said in b you will know when I am able to get out of my body, because I'm taking you with me (after I help Etheric83.)
Here's a link I found looking up Albert Taylor:
Albert Taylor
Bruce Moen:
Afterlife Knowledge: The truth about life after death
William Buhlman:
Astral Projection and Out of Body Experiences ( OBE or OoBE )
All of these author's have the power to take others out of body and have taught others how to get out of body. About the only people with this sort of power who would not own or have access to a computer would probably live in monasteries high in the mountains, far from cities and towns.
I can't say of course that they would browse this forum, but I do not think it was a random forum browser anyway. As I said I felt/sensed it was someone here.
Why would I have to be gifted or a threat for someone to pay attention to me? You know the best gift you could give to any teacher? Willingness to experience, to learn. You know what's the bets thing you could bring with you? An open mind. Some teachers in this area may also want to look at auras to determine the quality of person who wants to be their student. I may or may not fail that test, but I am open-minded as well as ready and willing to learn.
My mind is wide open. There is room for the entire whole of creation in there. As I said before this was a first-time unique experience for me. I did not initiate it, incubate it, or do anything to cause it to happen. You should be aware of this. Other than my statements I make three times every morning, among them, "I want to Astral Project" I have done nothing to instigate this and gone to sleep with no expectations whatsoever. It is very possible that my feel/sense is wrong. But for now I am leaving that possibility open, but going with my feelings. To my mind they are the best indicators of truth.
Thanks for waking me up Sageous! I will certainly weigh and consider your words. If there is any truth in them I will find it, accept it, and hold onto it.

P.S. Oh and animals, including rabbits, can talk. Not in waking/physical reality of course, but only in projected and dream states of consciousness. How many people here have talking animal guides/protectors? My guide, a fox I think is named Ayhunna, does not speak to me in words. But I somehow know what he is telling me. How many people here have talked to the large, rabid dog chasing them in their dreams to find out what it represents? How many have talked to inanimate objects and received a response? One account I read in one of my books told of a guy who projected and noticed his cat watching him. The cat said, "Hello!" surprising the guy and causing him to return to his physical body.
So not only to rabbits talk, but so do trees, flowers, houses, and the earth itself. All of creation speaks, but we only hear it in our dreams or in a projected state.
Sageous you seriously need to relax then release the idea that what society calls normal waking reality, a reality dominated by everyone's physical senses, is the only "true" reality. It is very likely there is so much more to reality than what we can perceive through our physical senses. I believe dreams give us a taste, a tiny glimpse, into that truth.
