I don't know myself. I always thought it was the same thing. But doesn't it strike you as really odd if you're OUT of your body and your body is still functioning? Whatever you want to call it, OOB or otherwise, it's still strange to still be able to function in both realms. You must not be fully one place or the other and therefore weak in both forms at the given time. I'm guessing.

OOB is feeling of your spirit going out of body.
Astral Projection is your spirit leaving the body and going into planetary outer space or something, or maybe going through different dimensions.
your spirit is always connected to your body as the body is still living, and no, you don't die from it.
and in a way, when you die, your spirit enters same state as astral projection.
so consider that when you die your body is non functional, so spirit can't get back in but it enters another body.

Building upon what others have said, AP is fairly voluntary, while OOB is involuntary, and usually occurs when a person has the chance of dying.

OOB is basically meditating and you feeling your spirit leaving your body.
One can meditate on a place they've been or want to go and feel themself there, or imagine it. Thats what it Out of Body Experience.
Astral Projection is the actual thing, it requires more concentration, and focus, and quietness. In Astral Projection or Astral Travel your spirit is actually out of you. and if you travel to far your spirt can end up staying out, thats why you must be experienced meditator to do this.

OOB = Accidental or unrealized astral projection. It's natural, happens mainly when you are sleeping.

Astral Projection = Forced OOB. When you figure out a way to rock or launch or float your spirit from your body and purposly go about in the astral world.

You can not die from astral projection. It just doesn't happen. Soul = connected to you. It doesn't go anywhere until your physical body dies.

An Out of Body Experience is more or less where you literately are out of you're body but you don't travel to any of the astral planes. You just are there. An Astral Projection is where you cross over to another plane and travel around.

As for the whole "you'll die if you get moved", I think that's pure crap. All that will happen is you crash back into your body and you wake up. That's it.

Others have said that an OBE is accidentical. But I don't think so. Because I've accidentally astral projected and gone somewhere else. OBE can be willed as astral can be, but because you don't/didn't go anywhere it would be better to call it an OBE. If you want I have a dream encyclodipeda (sp?), and I can get you a somewhat official definition for the two.

Yea, pretty much.
Out of Body is also something that seems to occur with conciousness, and still being on the physical plane.. Or seeing what is happening here.

Astral projection can happen similarly, but usually takes place when you tune into the more subtle planes of existence, and can travel to different realms.

I was once asked if it was a risk to astral project. I said, well. Are you risking anything when you goto sleep? They said no. I said, okay then theres your answer. But then I told them. We are all risking death just being alive. People do die in their sleep, and in that case its no ones fault. Just their time to be let go.
