snap shut and reel back the projector for immediate reintegrationand the return of full waking consciousness. This early warning system appears to be particularly sensitive during any type ofconscious OOBE, where the projected double is fully aware it is out of its body. Itseems, however, to become slightly less sensitive to 'real' awake people once the physicalbody and mind have fallen into a deep sleep. It will, however, always react violently andinstantly if touched by anything which causes a negative reaction in it's perimeter field.Note: See my book "ASTRAL DYNAMICS" chapter 24 - The Akashic Connection - formore detailed information on the higher aspects of the mind split, the workings ofUniversal Law and of the Akashic Pulse.ULTRA Short OOBE: One of the most important things to do after a successful exit, especially the first fewtimes, is to keep the projection ultra short. Ten seconds out and then get straight backinto the physical body. Please trust me on this. Ten seconds of REAL out of bodyexperience with a fully conscious exit and reentry, are worth a thousand all nighters thatare forgotten! An ultra short oobe is, in most cases, the 'major' contributing factor to asuccessful first time conscious exit projection.Once again, if a projector stays out too long, especially a novice projector, andtheir physical/etheric body falls into a deep sleep, the projected double will not usually beable to reanimate it's physical body and mind when it returns. It can thus become lockedout for the duration of the projection, or until natural waking occurs. Projection requiresthe physical body to fall asleep, and the reverse applies, with reintegration requiring thephysical body to wake up. If the physical body and mind fall into a deep sleep,sometimes even a good shaking will fail to wake them. The slight energy rush caused byreentry can thus also fail to awaken a deeply sleeping, and possibly dreaming, physicalbody and mind.Projected Double Contact: One way of cementing projection memories is to make contact with yourself duringan OOBE. Keeping in mind the nature of the mind split, agree with yourself to try andmake contact from both sides of the projection, from both physical and projected sides.Some degree of real time sight (seeing through closed eyelids in physical body) isrequired for this. Agree for your projected double to be in a particular place, say the footof the bed, and that it will look and think at where your physical head is, or should be.Do this even if the physical or projected double cannot clearly see its counterpart - whichoften happens on both sides. Often only a vague ghostly shape is seen, or a depression inthe bed. The physical body should trust its projected double will be doing this and shouldtry to do the same, by thinking and concentrating and 'feeling' for where it's projecteddouble is 'supposed' to be. Once contact is made, memories will flood both ways and willbecome cemented - making a strong and lasting impression upon the physical brain. After the initial contact, the projected double should move away quickly to avoidnauseating mental/visual feedback problems. This connection and memory downloadingprocess, if
musclegroups are covered. Full body stretch: Stretch your arms and legs, really stretch, as if you were very tired,and take several long, slow, deep breaths. Feet and calves: Lift up your toes and tense both feet and both calves at the same time andthen relax them. Curl up your toes and repeat. Knees and Thighs: Tense both your thighs, knees and calves at the same time - thenrelax them. Press down with your heels and tense thighs, calves and feet, then relaxthem. Hips, buttocks and groin: Push your buttocks backwards, tense and relax. Push hipsforward, tense and relax. Stomach and lower back: Push out your stomach and tense up all stomach muscles,tense and relax. Suck in your stomach and tense lower back and buttocks, tense andrelax. Chest and upper back: Arch shoulders and suck in chest and tense all upper backmuscles, tense and relax. Push shoulders back and push out chest and tense all muscles,tense and relax. Arms: Tense your shoulders, arms and hands, making fists. Pump your arms, bringingfists to shoulders a few times, tense and relax. Neck: Arch neck forward and place chin on chest and tense all muscles, tense and relax.Push head way back and push chin up high, tense throat and jaw muscles, tense and relax. Jaw, face and head: Move head back, open mouth wide and screw up face, tensing allmuscles in your head, tense and relax. Smile widely while screwing up face, tensing allfacial muscles, tense and relax. Frown deeply while screwing up face, tense all facialmuscles, tense and relax. Full body stretch: Give yourself a full body stretch, trying to arch and tense as much ofyour body as you can, tense and relax. Repeat the above process until you feel you have relaxed your body as much aspossible. Each time you do this, pay particular attention to the relaxation part - lettingyour muscles droop and totally relax after tensing them.. This will get progressively easier to do the more often you do it. In time, you will beable to relax your entire body simply by waving your awareness, your mental hands, overit.MBA Massage:The head and neck areas are the most difficult of all body parts to relax, as innertension affects them greatly. Use awareness actions to massage them. 'Feel' your'awareness hands' deeply massaging your neck and head, as if someone were actuallymassaging them. Use your memory to recreate the required awareness actions. Feel your'hands' penetrating deep within the muscles and tendons in your head and neck and 'feel'all the tension leaving your body. Move your awareness throughout your body, searching for any tense areas. If you findany, massage them away until your body is totally relaxed.Progress Update:*** My new book 'Astral Dynamics', published by Hampton Roads of Virginia, USA,<http://www.hrpub.com>, is now available internationally. I will also be offering anumber of autographed copies early in the new year of the next millennium.

like how you might wince by instinctive reflex action while brushing aonce sensitive tooth, even long after it has been repaired and no pain will be felt.Fear of The Unknown Out Of Body Environment: Fear of the out of body environment itself is not easy to get over. This is simplycaused by fear of the unknown and most people get some degree of this the first fewtimes they get out. This type of fear seems related to the natural fear of the dark, whichall children have to grow out of. This type of fear goes away gradually, as you becomeaccustomed to projection sensations and the out of body environment through progressivepersonal experience. A new projector must be brave and control and ignore this fear, ifonly for a short time. Even if they still feel strong feelings of fear, they can and must ignore these and go on with their OOBE attempt. Once they get out of body, they'll haveovercome the first great barrier to OOBE and fear levels will be greatly reduced the nexttime they get out. Becoming progressively more and more familiar with the out of bodyenvironment, through multiple projections, is of the best ways of overcoming this type offear. Getting out, if only briefly and for the very first time, is the most important goal forany new projector. This will make the out of body environment much more real and itwill make it even more achievable next time. Even if a projector only manages theconscious exit a couple of times, the memory and 'reality' of OOBE will be foreverinstilled into them by those experiences. The knowledge that they can exist apart fromtheir physical body and remain intact, alive and functioning will remain with themforever. This, on it's own, can also greatly help to reduce the fear of personal death, andeven the pain of grief felt when a loved one is lost. OOBE provides very attainable firsthand experience of what it will be like to die. What is death if not the final projection outof body? If OOBE has been experienced, therefore, they are not going to some strangeplace or having some totally unknown experience, i.e., death. They are only repeating(albeit with slightly more finality) something they have already experienced before.Projecting during daylight hours is the very best way to quickly overcome fear ofthe out of body environment. There is 'nothing' scary about flying around out of body ona bright sunny day. It's an enormously enjoyable experience, to say the very least. Haveyou every wondered what it would be like to fly like Superman? And, if you worry aboutmeeting something scary: I have never seen or heard of any type of negative ortroublesome entity, not even the simple mischievous types, operating out in the open infull sunlight. While it is possible to come across some things inside a building, thechances of meeting something scary are extremely remote if, after the exit, the projectorimmediately heads outside into the open and into the full sunlight. The action of doingthis quickly, immediately after the exit, may also throw a projector straight into the astralplanes,
again greatly reducing the likelihood of meeting anything scary.Religion Instilled Worry/Fear:Many people worry they are breaking God's laws, or infringing upon something inthe Bible, by having OBE's. There are NO direct Biblical references which directly stateprojection is wrong, evil or even advising against it. In fact, there are many referenceswithin the bible that mention OBE, i.e., if memory serves me, St Paul speaks on this,when telling of one man's mystical experience: "whether in or out of his body I cannottell"."If it's not written in the Holy Bible then it 'must' be evil" is another commonflame against OBE. However, the majority of the technological accomplishments of themodern world are also 'not' in the Bible. This does not make them evil in any way."OBE is witchcraft, as witches are known to have OBE's, and they therefore mustbe evil" is another popular flame against OBE. Well, this is like saying that air travel isevil, simply because Hitler was known to fly in aircraft, or that the night is evil, simply because witches are generally more active at night, or that explosives are evil, simplybecause some people make bombs out of them to hurt people with.My way of seeing this is: God created the heavens and the universe andeverything within them. His creation is perfect and nothing has been overlooked, downto the smallest atom. God also created the integrated physical and energetic subtle bodieswithin man, and unseen inside His design lays the potential for the natural multidimensionalmind split effect, which occurs to 'everyone' whenever they sleep. Theability to have conscious out of body experiences is a 'natural' ability and, even thoughmany people find it difficult to accomplish, everyone has the potential for this ability. Ithink, if God did not want people to have OOBE's, He would have designed us a littledifferently, and made projection impossible? To think otherwise is to claim that Godmade a mistake, which is to say God, is fallible, which is definitely irreligious andprobably goes against all known religious and Biblical laws. My life experience leads meto sincerely believe that God is wise and that HE never ever makes mistakes.Calling For Help: It is possible to call for help from another projector when attempting to project, or tocall someone to meet you when you get out of body. Once you hit the trance state, or feelheavy and are close to falling asleep, mentally call out the person's name several times, asloudly (mentally) as you can. If they are out of body they will definitely hear you, nomatter where they are or how far away them might be, and will be drawn to come visityou. If this person is experienced, they may be able to help you out of your body.Another projector, although they may be able to help in other ways, will not,however, be able to actually 'pull' another projector out of their body. Any attempt to doso will be perceived by the projector as a psychic/energy body attack (very unpleasantcold shivers, etc) which will tend to break their delicately balanced 'projectable' state. Aprojector can best help another projector by waiting for the
natural projection (sleepprojection) to take place and then making them aware they are projecting, helping themto remember it. Good advice at this time would be for them to dive back into theirphysical body shouting, "I did it!" to help them cement their oobe memories.Often, when a natural projection occurs, the real time body will drift slowly out ofit's physical body and hover just above it, mimicking it's sleeping position. The real timeprojector in this state is asleep, just as it's physical body and mind are. A helpfulprojector can best help them attain an OOBE by gently waking the sleeping projector'sreal time body and urging them to reenter their physical body before it falls too deeplyasleep. If this has already happened, a joint projection can then proceed. In this case, Isuggest the novice projector periodically returns to their physical body and keeps a closeeye on the time. They can then make sure they are hovering nearby and ready to diveback into their physical body shouting, "I did it!" the moment the alarm clock starts to go off, when they feel the first tugs from the physical body as it begins reeling them in forreintegration.Spirits:Personally, I do not advise projectors call out to 'unknown' spirits or 'unknown'guides to help them project, unless they know 'exactly' who or what they are calling, andcan verify their credentials as to exactly who and what they are. Calling blindly for anyhelp from anywhere carries a high risk of attracting the unwanted attention of undesirableastral wildlife and mischievous spirit entities. Most types of intelligent astral wildlife andspirit entities appear to require some kind of 'permission' before they can interfere with aliving person's life. Calling blindly for help can provide an entity with all the 'permission'it needs, albeit obtusely. And, once permission is given in cases like this, it cannot sosimply or easily be revoked. It is, I believe, a very unsafe practice indeed, to deliberatelysolicit the help of unknown spirit entities, as any type of open invite or request for helpmay invite a negative entity to trouble you instead. Calling upon Angels, however, doesnot carry the same cautions, as does blindly calling upon unknown spirits.Prayers to God (in whatever form or name you believe in) asking for Hisprotection and help, however, are 'highly' recommended and do not carry this same risk.I thoroughly recommend a prayer for protection be 'sincerely' said before any projection,even just a few words, regardless of belief or religion - or even the lack of it. Prayers aremost effective when said from a deeply relaxed 'quiet' mental state; ie, from in the trancestate.If a spirit of some kind does manifest during an OBE, and the projector is not sureif they are genuine or not, a simple test is to ask it to go away and leave you alone, and toreturn at another time, when called upon. Any good spirit will obey this request, and willreturn another time when called upon. If a spirit does not leave, or argues against thisrequest, saying it knows better than you what's good for you, etc, then its a pretty safe
betthis spirit is not who they say they are.There are certain skills necessary to be learned by any projector wishing to OOBEat will. There are 'no' safe shortcuts to projection. The difficulties associated withconscious exit OOBE are best thought of as natural barriers, barriers which are there for a'reason' and which are therefore unwise to avoid. If there is a friendly spirit or guideassociated or interested in the progress of a projector, and they are interested in helping,they will know 'exactly' what the projector is doing and 'when' they are doing it. If theyare willing and able to help with them learning projection, they will do so, without anyrequest from the projector.The difficulties of conscious exit OOBE are 'natural' barriers and it is unwise toavoid the lessons these hold and the skills that can be gained in overcoming them. Theseskills: deep physical relaxation, clearing the mind, concentration, trance, bodilyawareness actions, energy raising and the ability to overcome fear, are necessaryrequirements for successful and safe out of body operations. In a nutshell, if you cannotmake it out of your body under your own steam, you should not be projecting at that time. This does not, however, mean you should not keep trying, as once the necessaryskills are learned, and you have fulfilled the requirements for OBE operations, you willhave passed the first natural barrier and will be ready to take your first steps out of yourbody.Physical Body's Eyes:While this may appear obvious to many people, I have had a lot of queries overthis matter. The physical body's eyes must remain closed at all times during a projectionattempt. (You wouldn't believe how many times I've been asked about this:) Real Timeand/or Astral sight will enable by itself during or just prior to a conscious projection exit.If a projection is too dark or the projector feels they are blind, I suggest they use the outof body energy raising techniques, as given earlier. It is also possible to create light byvisualization, by visualizing a torch or lamp, etc. Many people find they simply have toask for their sight when out of body and they get it straight away. Another way toovercome darkness is to visualize a well-lit destination and use the instant travel methodto project there.REM (Rapid Eye Movement) Rapid Eye Movement, commonly called the 'REM' state, often happens during anoobe attempt - often, but not always. This is a natural event triggered by the trance statewhen the physical body is very tired - when the physical body falls into a deeper sleepthan is actually required, but with the mind still being held awake. The REM conditionsignposts the ideal time to have a lucid dream, as this indicates the dream mind isbecoming active. If fear or other difficulties make OOBE difficult I suggest the projectorfocus on having a lucid dream at this time, as this will give some type of related out ofbody experience which will help prepare them for a full blown conscious exit OOBE lateron. At this time a 'conscious' lucid dream becomes a viable alternative to a consciousOOBE, especially if REM activity is
disturbing and breaking the concentration of theprojector. Keep in mind here that a lucid dream can be converted into a Real Time orastral projection if the projector focuses on and 'feels' for their body. They will then eitherproject back to their body, or near to it, and a full OOBE can continue, or is then mucheasier to attain.LD Note: A good way to attain a lucid dream, if lying down when the REM statehits, is for the projector to stop the OOBE attempt, staying relaxed and turning on theirside (not their back) and to imagine a department store setting while allowing themselvesto sink gently into sleep. If all goes well, they'll slip directly into a lucid dream with noapparent break in consciousness. Closing Energy Centers?*Author's Note* This section contradicts, corrects and replaces an earlier section in theoriginal Treatise - on closing primary energy centers after using them. The reason forthis contradiction is simply that my continuing research has led to an increasedunderstanding of the energy body and how it works - with experience teaching meotherwise in this case:)After any type of energy work it is, traditionally, believed to be important to closeall energy centers that have been stimulated or opened. While this idea appears to havesome merit on the surface, I have come to the conclusion it is a completely illogicalpractice. No localized awareness action or visualized action can cause an energy center(chakra) to deactivate or close. This applies to any type of energy center, secondary orprimary. Experience tells me that no matter how an awareness action is performed at thesite of an energy center it will 'always' cause stimulation. It is a mistake to think that anyawareness or visualized action can succeed at closing or deactivating an energy center.This is a little like fanning a spark (inactive energy center) into a flame with anstimulation action (making the spark an 'active' energy center) and then trying to makethat same flame go out by blowing up on it from a different direction. However it isdone, it will continue to fan the flame.Consider this: Most popular chakra opening methods involve visualizing a smalldoor or pair of curtains opening over the site of a chakra. Once this is done that chakra isdeemed to have been 'opened'. This method is then simply reversed to 'close' that chakraat the end of the session. Once these doors have been visualized as closing, the chakrasare deemed to have been 'closed'.Primary chakras are complex non-physical 'vortexes' of energy, each with a greatmany functions, about the size of the palm of your hand. If you look at just how avisualized 'little door' opening technique like this would affect a powerful energystructure like this, it becomes fairly obvious that a reversed action of 'closing' a simplelittle door would have little or no effect. It would also not affect it in the desired way. Ifyou understand how bodily awareness and Tactile Imaging works, as per the Treatise, itbecomes clear this reasoning is somewhat faulty. Both opening and closing methodsinvolve a visualized or bodily awareness action at the site of a major chakra. Bothopening
