Yes. The prophet, Mohammed, reported an out-of-body experience in which he ascended through "seven heavens," which is a reference to a spectrum of seven frequencies or dimensional states of consciousness. One could say, "But this is different from what Kepple or Wingfield spoke of in terms of a spectrum from waking consciousness to deep somnambulism and beyond." But is it really? The light spectrum, the electromagnetic spectrum, the chakra spectrum, the waking-to-superconsciousness spectrum, etc. are all interconnected and closely symbolically linked.
Again, no one person originates an idea of himself/herself. This is impossible. If written and/or oral "proof" of originality is something that one seeks, and the person is open to conscious astral projection, then one may use astral projection for deep investigation into such areas. Linear time is illusory. Time is illusory. Those who deeply understand what "astral projection" really is...they know this to be true. They know that separation is an illusion, that there are ultimately no separate minds, and therefore in this sense no one person or entity is "the originator" of a concept or invention. The physical brain is a receiver of thoughts, it is not the originator of thought, for the brain is not the mind.
Furthermore, there really is no beginning nor end in consciousness, and even the idea of a spectrum is ultimately illusory. As a concept, it certainly has its place, yet ironically astral projection ultimately proves that all "time" and all "states" of consciousness are simultaneous, and that Divine Love is what really matters.
Again, there have been many that perceived a spectrum of consciousness in regards to astral projection. The chakras are relevant here. One cannot separate the functioning of the chakras from the activity of astral projection. The seven basic chakras themselves represent a spectrum of consciousness that directly interacts with "phasing" or "astral projection."
Your written discovery is very fruitful, as it helps to expand the understanding in this forum that these kinds of insights such as a "phasing spectrum" are much older than one may assume. If "hardcore physical proof" is what one seeks, then in such an attitude such a person will NEVER find deep satisfaction through discovering the highest truth that is within oneself as the "kingdom within." But when one begins to realize that everything is energy, and that energy itself is but consciousness, the idea of originality is understood in a much broader manner, as it is ultimately understood to be impersonal and Divine.
