Here's the link to the discussion (the relevant parts are my comment threads with AlphaCrown): https://www.reddit.com/r/AstralProjection/comments/8bdmvv/astral_projection_lessons_newbies/
But it's a lot to read so I'll summarize the main thing I'm worried about here.
Basically, he's saying that when I die, I could go to the astral plane, but it's much more preferable to go to the "fifth dimension" or higher (not sure if there's another more common name for whatever he's referring to), which is something that it's impossible to see during life except in rare cases that can't be created intentionally. Supposedly the astral plane is actually not that pleasant of a place to go when I die, because I'll be "trapped" there, and it'll take what feels like an eternity to get somewhere better. And if I'm active in things like astral projection and paranormal abilities (which, obviously, I would really love to get into) then I'm almost guaranteed to be trapped there. If I am to take what he says seriously, this adds yet another dimension of uncertainty to the whole thing, another unknown to get in my way.
Another thing he's saying is that my entire ego-based personality, and all my memories, etc. will be permanently gone when I die. Even if there's an afterlife, I won't be able to be what I think of as myself there, no matter what I do--apparently, even if I do remain living in some way after my body dies, the "me" I'm used to thinking of myself as being won't be able to enjoy it. But when I die, I want to be able to stay myself, approaching the afterlife just how I'd approach it now. If there is an afterlife, I (as in the "I" I know) don't want to be left out of it, even if a different, perhaps more fundamental aspect of "I" does get to enjoy it to. I want to enjoy it too. Is that really not possible?
Should I be worried or does that guy not know what he's talking about? Feel free to look through the thread as well if you want.
If it has a subconsciouss, it was never consciouss. "Remove Doubt. That is Strength."
Progress is energy substance.
It's all fun and games until you lose an eye; then it's all fun and games in the dark.
