Robert Monroe, in his books, describes how he was able to leave his body behind and travel around as an Is-Be (astral body), never having been detected by death traps. It seems like death traps are activated when you leave your body after death. Here's the trick: Can you leave your body while it is still alive and just find somebody to pick you up in space and escape from Earth?
My near death experience was pure dense blackness. My opinion now after that and after reading books about near death experiences is that it can be mind controlled. Some people have seen a light tunnel and loved ones. Is it true or manipulated? I have to leave question open because I cannot be sure.
Robert Monroe's approach does not have the death trap, as far as I have read his books.
A: Similarly to how Physical-Body is not the «real» Is-Being, even «Astral-Body» is not necessarily «real» Is-Being self, even any «Orb-Form» does not necessarily mean «real» Is-Being form...
B: Escape From Earth During Astral-Travel ? That is not how this Reality Structure is Structured. You are linked until you get unlinked. Numerous reports seem to reference something about a Silver-Cord, although, I do not personally have any Pre-This-Universe-Life Re-Collections of any Silver-Cords.
C: Almost every NDE that is reported is described as some sort of Loving or Delightful-Experience, how-ever, this does not reflect the _Reality_ of the FULL VARIETY of what CAN (and DOES) happen in After-Life Post-Mortem Existence. When I inquired with the Messiah about this, his response was that those who experience bad NDEs would be very reluctant to talk about their experiences, effectively being something like a user-reported version of a File-Drawer-Effect (a term used in Science referring to never reporting any «failure» experiments to yield a false success-rate; this also happens the other way around by those who never report any successful-experiments).
D: Just because you cannot SEE it or just because it is NOT «reported» into PUBLIC consciousness does NOT mean that it is non-existent. After-Life «Traps» DO indeed EXIST, amongst one of them being the FALSE-BELIEF that anybody is «safe» and/or «saved» JUST BECAUSE you end up «out there» in the universe or that you have «escaped from earth» and, amongst one of the most-sinister DECEPTIONS of all, are After-Life/Post-Mortem existences that are indeed and certainly much better than the Earth-Life Condition, causing Is-Beings to MISTAKE those existences for _being_ «heaven», BUT, are actually NOT «heaven» for in reality «suffering» /still exists/ within those realms...
E: Related to D, a variety of CULTS have emerged from the «Channelling Community» whose «followers» seem to «worship and/or revere» their so-called «Ascended Masters» who CLAIM to have «been to heaven (and back)» and MANY if not ALL of their «followers» have this EXTREMELY ARROGANT «belief» that they are «higher-vibrational beings» than everybody else and look down upon others for not sharing the same belief in their «Ascended Masters» CULT-BELIEF system; many of them also CLAIM that «You must be re-incarnated back into an Earth-Life in order be able to suffer to be able to continue paying off Negative Karmic-Debts» which is also a FALSE claim and FALSE belief for REASON being that «suffering» STILL CONTINUES ON even in «realms of spirit» (i.e. : JUST BECAUSE you «detach» from your «physical-body» does NOT mean that life is automatically better, and, even if life does happen to be better, that is not guaranteed to be permanent, for, such a «surcease» will only be a TEMPORARY one, with only an EXTREMELY TINY HANDFUL of «exceptions» such as for the Is-Being of the very Messiah himself; I suspect that there will eventually be follow-ups to the Remote-Viewing Projects on Remote-Viewing the Crucifixion since there would definitely be reason to follow what happened to the Messiah's Is-Being and how/why he managed to just «by-pass» the «Death-Traps»).
F: Yes, MIND-CONTROL _does_ exist, the more prone one is to negative-emotions, the easier they are to control, thus, the EXTREME IMPORTANCE for ALL Is-Beings to learn how to maintain CONTROL over their own MIND so that their «thoughts» cannot be «intruded» nor «subjugated» upon so easily...

Remarks to point B.
1. My point is that death traps seem not to work during an OBE if your body is alive.
2. Extraterrestrials seem to have knowledge of how to pull out an IS-BE from the body. Robert Monroe, in his books, and in the Alien Interview book, too, is shown that a strong IS-BE can push another IS-BE out of the body.
3. Can we beat the death traps?
Robert Monroe was very fluent at out of body travel. He didn’t come across any death traps. He was very vocal about this place (earth) being a place to learn. But, he said people came here and it was like a drug and they kept coming back over and over again and they would get stuck and forget where they came from. He never described any amnesia. He would describe people wanting to go back ( they wanted more sex, alcohol, food, money, etc.). He made it very clear that there was no law or rule that you can’t leave but people get stuck because of their own addictions. Obviously, this is different than farsights belief. Robert Monroe also did work with extraterrestrials. Several of his early explorers did as well. Rosalind McKnight write a book about it. Tom Campbell was one as well. One thing I always found unusual was Monroe was being interviewed by art bell and they were talking about this subject and Monroe tells him the “Alligator people are alot of fun”. The video is on YouTube. Finally, the most important part of his books has to do with the human condition and the idea of loosh. Loosh is an energy humans give off when having different emotions, and basically these beings feed off the loosh.
A lot of truth does exist in this, particularly revolving around addiction-phenomena, how-ever, similarly to how the physical-eyes cannot normally see the spirit-realm, even within the spirit-realm, many spirits are actually UNAWARES that there ARE forces/beings who are invisible /even to them/, that exist in even darker and/or more hidden realms-of-existence, and, just because one is viewing an «alternate-reality» (than the physical) via an «Astral-Body» does NOT mean that they will be able to see/detect _everything_ that /actually exists/.
If he doesn't report seeing any «Spirit-Possession» (or Neural-Linking in Remote-Viewing Terms according to Far-Sight Protocol) phenomena then that _should_ tell you /something/; Spirit-Possession, also known as Subjugation of the Mind in the term that is used by the Messiah as synonymous to what was historically called Spirit-Possession, and, Neural-Linking also being synonymous in meaning as a termed used by Far-Sight, are actual, real phenomena; what «Possessing Spirits» are unaware of is the fact that, similarly to how they are invisible to a Mortal-Human whose mind/body is being controlled, they, too, are also being similarly controlled by even darker beings from darker realms whom they themselves are unable to see/sense/detect.
Regarding the «loosh» you mention, that phenomenon is not so much of a feeding off of the emotional-energy, but, simply being attracted to the emotional-energy, very strong emotions often being the result of potentially millions of spirits sort of «gathering» and/or congregating in order to «share/feel» the emotion(s) of the human/mortal, the /effect/ of this being _amplified_ emotional-/feelings/ for the mortal in question who is affected; and those are Is-Beings whom are neither detected nor recognised nor sensed even by Earth's current _best_ Remote-Viewers, even though, rest-assured, they do exist as I am describing, for as difficult as this will be for anybody whose psychic-range is only limited to this particular physical-universe; similarly to how cats/dogs have higher-ranges of sound/light-detection frequency with their eyes/ears (than humans), the «Vantage-Point» from here (from within this particular material-universe whilst conscious at the physical-level), /especially/ for those who do not believe or cannot fathom that there is any such thing as any existence beyond this particular physical-universe, remains limited, especially compared to the perceptive-range (psychic-vision) of the very Messiah himself.
That description of «getting stuck» also sounds a lot like he was witnessing «earth-bound-spirits» phenomena rather than people going back to earth to get «re-incarnated» to try to satisfy their addictions; they are unable to satisfy their addictions without «sharing/possessing» a physical-body by the way since their «senses» whilst in that «earth-bound-spirit» state prevents them from being able to actually satiate their desires since they do not have any actual physical-body; and there is indeed an «amnesia-time-loop» system that also exists for earth-bound-spirits (not just Amnesia Death-Traps way up at Satellite-Orbit, but, a phenomenon where there are Is-Beings in the After-Life state who are literally stuck in a «Time-Loop» but, unlike Ground-Hog Day, they have absolutely no re-collection of the fact that they are re-living the same experiences in a sort of Holo-Deck-Like Manner which they can literally be stuck in for literal Earth-Life /centuries/).
It's true that Robert Monroe never mentioned death traps, which got me thinking. However, we know there is a "loving energy" after death that tries to capture us. Is it possible that death traps are triggered by some kind of mechanism after the death of the body to catch whatever is coming out of it? Can we cheat death by leaving the body just before its physical descent?
