Anyone see this interview on Sportscenter? Darren Daulton, the former Phillies catcher, claims that he can travel through time and do something called "astral travel". He says that he's 100% certain the world will end in December 2012 because he's seen how it will happen.

What do you think? Is he the baseball version of Ricky Williams? Or is it somewhat telling the truth, as I've heard a lot of people say that December 2012 is when the world will end.

I think it's something about Mayan or Azteck calenders....or some Indian group I think. Hell, I don't really know....but he isn't just making that up...he's getting it from some type of (religion?) that he is following now...so I don't think he's COMPLETELY insane...just halfway insane.

he's probably just having a hard time rationalizing that 15-14 loss to the Jays in the 1993 World Series.

Its true...read, learn, live!!!

darren daulton is 100% insane. Time travelling while he sleeps? Wish I had dreams like that

Yeah, I was really hungover when I watched that yesterday, and I was pretty sure that I'd finally gone insane and started hallucinating. I'm glad somebody else saw that.

I mean, holy shit! Whatever drug regimen he's been adhering to... gimme summa 'dat, yo.

yeah that's what I heard. I don't believe it at all though

I've read up on astral projection and I was surprised to find that I don't think it's 100% crap. I tried some of the methods suggested to do it and came up mostly empty save for one or two weird experiences. I'm guessing that it's just a variation on lucid dreaming.

That said, Darren Daulton is probably more than a little crazy.

I heard about the Daulton thing on the Dan Patrick Show almost a month ago. I thought it was old news.

watch out for Y2K... make sure you take all your money out of all establishments and stuff it under your mattress... oh shit_that already happend... carry on...

i've had a bit of experience with lucid dreaming, and to say it resembles time travel in any way seems a bit nutso.
as for seeing into the future... well i don't think that "seems" a "bit" nutso at all if you catch my drift

MD we've discussed lucid dreaming before I believe. Back in like August I think. If I'm thinking of the wrong person I apologize.

I lucid dream almost every night. It is the most amazing thing in the history of the world lol. That said, I dont confuse it at all with time travel, but that could be his excuse.

I said nothing about time travel. Daulton's whacked...I'm not saying otherwise.



Yeah, that was me. Lucid dreaming is the best thing ever. Being able to do it ever night is quite the gift. I remember my dreams ever night, but I onlt go lucid once every two weeks or so unless I force it.

Daulton's referring to astral projection, which is basically an out of body experience. I'm not claiming to know the mechanism, but I think that rather than a literal leaving the body, it's training the mind to release certain chemicals which trigger the experience. Google it...it's interesting to read up on. I'd especially recommend trying to a lucid dreamer. I've tried to astral project, and had little success, though I did experience the violent tremors that one resource said immediately preceeds being rocketed out of your body. I never made it further.

I thought it was complete crap when I first heard about it. Now I think there's something valid about the experiences, but reject all the supernatural crap that goes along with it.

Edit: Go here if you're interested at all. It's amusing if nothing else.

We'll see. I'm not exactly sure if I'm ready for all that
