stop energy center activity.YO-YO OOBE Technique:The whole point of any OOBE technique is to exteriorize bodily awarenessoutside of the physical body to trigger the projection reflex quickly, whilst the projectorremains mentally awake. This, apparently simple, awareness action can, however, beextremely difficult for most people to maintain for more than a couple of seconds. If thisis done only briefly, however, over and over and rhythmically, for long enough, it willalso have the effect of triggering the projection reflex.Following is the outline of a new technique I call YOYO. I have used this myselfand it seems to have almost as many good points as the Rope technique, but most peoplefind YOYO much easier. This method is a good alternative if you are having troublewith ROPE. This can also be used as a good preparatory exercise for an OOBE attempt.It helps 'loosen up' the projectable double, even if another technique is to be used for theactual exit.1. Get yourself into a deeply relaxed state, or into the trance state if possible, as younormally would prepare for using an OOBE technique.2. Pick a target on the ceiling above your bed, or on the wall if using a chair. This can bea light fitting or picture (anything) or you can tape a small paper target up above you.3. Stand on a chair (careful not to fall) and get the feel of what it is like to have your faceup close to the target. Feel the changed spatial coordinates. Feel what this new position(up next to the target) feels like from there. Feel where the floor and bed and furnitureand windows and doors are now. Memorize what it 'feels' like to be in this position, upclose to your target. 4. Instead of using ROPE, shift your awareness out of your body and push it right up nextto the target, as if target were right next to your face. Imagine and 'feel' yourself being atthe target, right up close to it. Hold your awareness there for one second only and thenpull your point of awareness back to your body. Feel yourself move right up to the targetand, briefly, feel your spatial coordinates in the room change as your bodily awarenesschanges location. Feel the room move around you, briefly, as you fly up to the target andback to your body. Feel the room change back to normal when you pull your center ofawareness back to your body.5. Bounce your awareness back and forth between the target and your body at roughlyone-second intervals (whatever feels most natural). Try and develop a natural rhythm, inand out, in and out, and over and over.6. When you get used to using this technique, extend your time at the target slightly, justa little bit longer. Always keep this time short enough to be comfortable and achievableso you can do it repeatedly, over and over, with ease. This takes concentration but isquite easy when you get the hang of it.7. Keep this up and it will trigger the projection reflex just like ROPE.8. Vary this technique as you see fit, with other OOBE techniques like ROPE,
Real Time vehicle. The difficulty here is, again, caused by thereal time body attempting to take an 'awake' copy of consciousness out of body. This issomething quite different from natural sleep projection, and therefore can cause somerather extreme energy movement sensations, which are often felt as extremely physicalsensations.The heart may, indeed, increase in speed when the heart chakra becomes fully active'if' the projector becomes frightened. Fear and panic can cause further sensations by wayof an 'actual' rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, vertigo, nausea, cramps and pain, etc.The best way to get over this is to concentrate everything on climbing ROPE and gettingout of body as 'quickly' as possible - while totally ignoring the racing heart sensation andheavy bodily vibrations. The sooner the projector gets out of their body the sooner thesewill stop. The heavy physical sensations can, to a great extent, be reduced by regularmeditation and energy work, which progressively develops the energy body, enabling itto provide and deal with the energies required for conscious exit projection. A smoothand rapid exit from the physical body is, however, the very best way of overcoming this.Please note that 'not' everybody experiences heavy exit sensations, but it is farbetter to be prepared for a worst case scenario than to be caught by surprise and scaredout of a perfectly good projection. Heavy exit sensations, on their own, can also causepsychological scarring and make each future projection attempt even more difficult toachieve. This is 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
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
'feels' like to be in this position, upclose to your target. 4. Instead of using ROPE, shift your awareness out of your body and push it right up nextto the target, as if target were right next to your face. Imagine and 'feel' yourself being atthe target, right up close to it. Hold your awareness there for one second only and thenpull your point of awareness back to your body. Feel yourself move right up to the targetand, briefly, feel your spatial coordinates in the room change as your bodily awarenesschanges location. Feel the room move around you, briefly, as you fly up to the target andback to your body. Feel the room change back to normal when you pull your center ofawareness back to your body.5. Bounce your awareness back and forth between the target and your body at roughlyone-second intervals (whatever feels most natural). Try and develop a natural rhythm, inand out, in and out, and over and over.6. When you get used to using this technique, extend your time at the target slightly, justa little bit longer. Always keep this time short enough to be comfortable and achievableso you can do it repeatedly, over and over, with ease. This takes concentration but isquite easy when you get the hang of it.7. Keep this up and it will trigger the projection reflex just like ROPE.8. Vary this technique as you see fit, with other OOBE techniques like ROPE, or rollingout of your body, or feeling yourself floating out of body, point shift, etc. You may, forexample, trigger the projectable state, feeling vibrations, etc, using YOYO and find iteasier to finish off the exit using ROPE, or by rolling out of your body, or with anotherfavorite method.Racing Heartbeat, Disorientation & Pressure:In my opinion, disorientation and head pressure, during or after an OBE or OBEattempt, stem from forced bio-energetic development, caused by an OBE attempt. Anyproblems resulting from this will settle down over a couple of days. I do not advisefurther attempts until you feel completely normal again - as things must have time toadjust and develop in response to what has happened - as a muscle must be given time toheal and develop after being overworked and strained.While a logical observation, and partly true, the assumption that the heart chakrais not getting enough energy, and that this is causing it to race during an OBE attempt, isnot entirely correct. This matter is far more complex than it appears. When you cease a projection causing bodily awareness action, ie, Rope, andobserve the throbbing in your heart chakra slowing, you have actually eased the pressurethat was forcing your energy body to generate your projectable double. This eases theload on the heart chakra, thus slowing its activity.The heart chakra is forced to provide a lot of energy, to generate the projectabledouble, during an awake induced OBE attempt. Excessive heart center activity, and allother heavy exit sensations, are 'caused' by the presence of 'awake' consciousness, whichcause a plethora of bio-energetic conflicts to arise. To support this: think how easily youproject out of body when your

xx Preface relaxation sessions for my efforts. A powerful dream I had one summer in college led me to explore lucid dream-induced OBEs, but I was discouraged by this method's hit-and-miss results and how often dream elements imposed themselves on the experience. Since then I have explored dozens of books and recordings promising an out-of-body experience, yet I'd only advanced a few steps toward a true understanding of larger realities. After all this, I achieved noticeable results the first time I tried the techniques in Robert Bruce's book about out-of-body experiences, Astral Dynamics. The aspect I loved most about the program was that, from the beginning, I received daily validation that there is something to astral travel. I learned very quickly that one does not need to have a full-blown out-ofbody experience to develop a profound understanding that we are spiritual beings inhabiting physical bodies. When I finished Astral Dynamics I immediately organized a comprehensive, progressive program that I could more easily learn and implement. I e-mailed what I'd done to Robert Bruce and, with suggestions from him and his friends, I created an electronic version of the program, which was an amalgamation of a day planner, journal, and Astral Dynamics reference manual. Robert posted the program on his website, which allowed me to receive even more feedback. Before long, Robert and I recognized that a guidebook was evolving, something that might help many other people experience the out-of-body state. This book is the result. This book is the guide I wish I had had when my interest in out-of-body exploration started all those years ago. The amazing journey that awaits you is something you must experience to understand. I promise, if you follow the blueprint laid out in these pages, you will know a great deal more about yourself than when you startedbut like any great journey, it all begins with that first step. BRIAN MERCER without the memory of an OBE after the fact, it might as well not have happened. Everything that helps students retain their precious OBE memories must be recognized and used. An unavoidable side effect of this program is that it can cause the development of psychic abilities. This is understandable, as learning to induce an OBE requires training that can be applied to any other metaphysical pursuit. Our program contains extensive energy body stimulation work and, combined with deep relaxation, mind taming, and induced altered states of consciousness, dormant psychic abilities will begin to manifest. I wish you the very best luck as you begin our ninety-day training program. Astral projection might seem a giant leap for you now, but taken one step at a time it is not nearly as daunting as it appears. I suppose this is a bit like eating an elephant. If one looks at a whole elephant, the task of eating it all seems preposterous. But once the elephant has been reduced to frozen TV-dinner-sized portions, such a task would seem far more achievable. One might be eating elephant for a very long time, but success will always be in
