I'd like to know, is this some sorta religious thing?
Or is it a scientific thing?
I don't want to do something that is from another religion.

Hey truthquest,
I just read your post, a suggestion. Be careful about astral projection. We call it astral travelling in alot of cases. As I stated previously, alot of people new to energy dont have a very good base. In other words their energy is top heavy and they have no grounding. So they will experience out of body experiences and become detached from the body. This is not good, the body quickly starts to deteriorate and will die. The soul becomes lost and can quickly enter the hell state, nobody wants that. If you find yourself leaving your body during the meditation exercises, STOP. Meditation is joining the mind body and soul, its HUGE, it has nothing to do with becoming disjointed and seperated. Its just advice, you can take it or leave it, but any meditation or energy work is hardly fun and games. Just be careful is all I'm saying. Listen to yourself, mind body soul and heart. Be aware. Have a good one.

Oh, where to start? The soul is what exists outside of time/space, as in oversoul. The spirit is what exists here (please don't think I'm making a spacial reference) Buddhism is a belief system.
"All I'm trying to say is that leaving your body is not even necessary. Give me one good reason why you need to leave your body. I'm quite serious. Do you want to see other places? Other realities? Why? You live in this reality. Focus on this reality."
Did I ever indicate that I didn't focus on the experience and learning opportunities of physical reality, or in any way emphasize OBE as an alternative? No, I didn't. It can augment spiritual growth, but the reason we are in the physical is for the valuable experience it provides. I have no idea why you would jump to an assumption/conclusion like that. A primary lesson for spiritual growth in the physical is dropping the illusions, understanding who and what we are and the nature of this realm. Physical things, places, etc., are units within time-space, used as tools in the learning experience. We don't own or possess any thing or person, even our physical body is 'borrowed'.
"If you want to exist in other realities, let go of this reality and go search for something more suitable to your taste."
Is this the equivalent of stating "the physical--love it or leave it"? Is your experience really that two dimensional? Exploring out of body is no different from scuba diving--yes they both require caution, but the most that can happen during an OBE is the energy body gets injured (it cannot be 'killed"). It heals very rapidly as well, and just as in any other environment you conduct yourself with respect and consideration of others. It is a valuable experience for those interested. I don't direct others to do this, nor would I frighten them off. There is the law of allowance--if I am asked for help, I offer it, if not I don't.
"But the way I see it, is if you're already here, you may as well do the work that is needed of you in this lifetime."
Hmm, why would you assume that I don't know this, or that I am not doing so already? Again, I have no idea where you came up with these.
"These individuals also exist within catholic references. Highest order of angels, etc etc."
Derived from beliefs. Ok, I know 'or believe' that an 'angel' is us in a more advanced form after many incarnations. They don't interfere with negative events or entities without very specific reasons. They understand that to advance spiritually, we (they) must incarnate into lives of both light and dark polarity.
"Their soul purpose is to cleanse the emotional attachments and to raise the energy. They usually approach as an entitiy engulfed in flames."
We have to be vigil at all times as to what we involve ourselves with. I know this may seem like complete nonsense to you, but leaving your body does cause damage. ItSo many souls cannot handle leaving their bodies, dont tempt them. It may seem like you are doing them well, but you're not."
The remainder of your post has to do with your personal beliefs and admonitions not to teach this. While I have my beliefs, I do my best to base them on personal experience. People go out of body every time they sleep, and the process of conscious out of body exits goes hand in hand with development of the energy body (which also improves physical health). The information in the form of techniques is not a classified secret, it is readily available to anyone interested in looking for it. I do not control other's choices, nor do I have a desire to, nor do I contribute fear. It's not that difficult---really!
