The higher astral differs from the lower. What is the astral of its essence, how to enter instructions

Astral - the mysterious world of the otherworldly and subconscious. Find out what the astral world looks like and who lives there - consider the classification of astral entities.

In the article:

Astral entities - classification of living and nonliving creatures

Visitors to the other world are divided into two large groups. Astral entities - classification:

Living

1. Acting adepts and magicians.  Most often they travel as a couple - a teacher and a student. It is difficult for a beginner to move around the Astral: the help of a knowledgeable person is very helpful. Seekers of truth, curious. with the help of mysterious forces that were curbed during a long training.
2. Gifted people.  Persons who from birth are endowed with the strength to travel freely on the astral plane. Often abilities are not recognized, the appearance of people is explained by titanic works from a past incarnation. Whether good or evil, no one but them knows.
3. The inhabitants.  An ordinary person has the opportunity to fall into one of the astral planes. People visit the astral in dreams and do not understand the reality of what is happening. These are ships drifting where the wind blows. They don’t know anything, they don’t discover anything - they go with the flow. Endowed with abilities, but do not use them.
4. Adherents of black magic.  Similar to the first category: abilities are similar, but the point of their application is evil. Their rage, passion and attraction to the dark. Black magicians try to use secrets from Astral to the detriment.

The dead

The name reflects only part of the truth. Most of the creatures that are in the group are living, simply not attached to the physical body:

1. Nirmanakaya.  The name from the Indian culture, meaning those who have reached full enlightenment and nirvana, and then abandoned it for the benefit of mankind. They are rare. Few people achieve such great spiritual strength to achieve nirvana, and even fewer entities abandon it. To the lower planes of the astral plane, where most travelers roam, nirmanakaya rarely descend. They prefer to disguise themselves, creating astral bodies.
2. Pupils who have not yet incarnated. Some reliable sources say that some students can go to the Astral after death and wait until their Teacher finds a body for reincarnation. The process is difficult, requires self-sacrifice. A man with a clear conscience after death will be transferred to heaven, but if he decides to take the path of renunciation, putting his life on the altar of the prosperity of mankind, after death he will fall into the Astral. This will deprive the righteous of centuries of bliss, but will give a lot in return: a life full of work and curiosity. You can meet them, but rarely. When you see, try to ask - their experience is priceless and permeates the centuries.
3. Ordinary people who have stepped over the threshold of death.  Get into the Astral, but for a certain period. People who led a clean life linger for a while, almost never regain consciousness. The average person, overwhelmed by desires, can spend years. Low, prone to dark passions - for centuries.
4. The shadows.  That which a person leaves after himself, when he passes to the mental plane after death. These are the remains of decaying desires and passions. Shadows are part of a low mind that has separated from the master. Shadow creatures are called only nominally, because there is no personality. They look like a man and even have a part of the memory, but the foundation is already in heaven. Shadows simply wander around the Astral, harmless and either completely absorbed in themselves, muttering snippets of phrases under their nose, or try to talk with oncoming travelers. Most often it is incoherent nonsense, consisting of words that a person spoke during his life.
5. Shell.  What remains of the shadow when the forces are almost exhausted. Passive, no personality or consciousness, do not make contact. Just float on the astral plane. All that remains for them is to wait until the last forces run out in order to dissolve in the Astral and disappear forever.
6. Suicides and those who died unexpectedly. If a person dies of old age or illness, he manages to be reconciled: he releases earthly desires and suffers death painlessly, often arriving in complete ignorance. People who have died in the prime of life find themselves in completely different conditions. Life anxieties are strong, desires capture the mind. If a person led a pure life, having wandered a little, he will fall on the mental plane. If the suicide was low, other laws apply. The astral body is dangerous, trying to prolong its existence in accessible ways. Entities prey on travelers, trying to suck out part of their life: absorb fears, desires, a piece of the soul. They live at places of vice. Sometimes dark entities gather there in whole groups and can cause irreparable harm to the careless. Avoid them, try to avoid, do not come close.
7. Vampires, werewolves.  One of the most dangerous entities on the astral plane. These creatures are a reflection of the human world. If a person led a disgusting life, not only not resisting base desires, but also indulging them, allowing the mind to merge with the astral body, once in the other world, it will be bad. The only thing that pleases is that personalities are very rare. Even the most notorious villain in his soul has glimpses of good. To become a dark entity, a person suppresses any manifestation of conscience and altruism, devoting his soul to evil. They are few, as well as reaching nirvana. These are two sides of the same coin, two extremes: either limitless philanthropy, or eternal hatred.

Once on the Astral plane, a dead creature is doomed to an unenviable fate - to experience the experience that brought other people. If the essence got there due to violence, having some sense in magic, the body is capable of rebirth. To a terrible, disgusting rebirth: a person becomes a vampire for the sake of maintaining his own life at the expense of someone else's.

They exist simultaneously both in the astral and in the material plane, being in a trance. To continue the disgusting existence, you need blood - the essence of life. The material body roams the world in search of sacrifice and nourishment of the astral entity.

Werewolves are creatures of a slightly different breed. When a low man dies, other entities can capture his astral body, transforming him into an animal, most often a predator: wolf, fox, lynx. Werewolves will scour the earth in search of human flesh, hellish hunger drives them forward - not only their own, but also those demons that settled in the body. Meeting entities is very difficult.

Astral - description of the other world

The astral is not so terrible as the entities inhabiting it. Their names and types are best studied immediately, because knowledge will help in difficult times. What does the astral world look like?

Let's start again - with astral definitions. This is the other world of the subconscious, where the emotions that a person experiences. Fears, nightmares, imprints of the souls of living, dead, unborn - everything falls into the Astral, which is a reflection of the real world. This is understandable even in a dream: individual objects are visible, distance is felt - there is space there. Events happen for a reason - there is a cause and effect. There is time in the astral.

The answer to the question whether the astral world exists is positive.  That world is described by many esoteric authors who enjoy authority among modern practitioners: Robert Monroe, O. Phillips, Stephen Laberge and others. Their books describe what the astral is - true or fiction.

Entrance to the Astral - what after

Appearance takes many forms, because the astral - collection of human fears, thoughts. Since feelings vary from person to person, the astral plane also. Initially, there is a huge potential for change.

If you get into a surreal nightmare, the dream seems real. Do not neglect the danger: entities can harm the astral body.

The appearance of the astral plane is like everything and nothing at the same time. There is definitely space and laws, but everyone who visits the Astral sees it with his own eyes. Ateach person has an interpretation of the mystical world.

So what is an “astral journey”?

From the outside, it’s a lethargic dream. That is, a situation where a person seems to be alive, but does not show obvious signs of a conscious life. He is sleeping deeply. True, if you disturb him, he will wake up - unlike uncontrolled lethargic sleep. Therefore, an ordinary lethargic dream is also an astral journey of the soul, who went for a walk, but forgot (or does not want) to go back.

That is, with an astral projection, outwardly, a person barely breathes and does not move, his consciousness is absent. And where is it located? It just travels in the astral or real worlds, leaving its physical shell and, apparently, the etheric body - to ensure the vital functions of the body. The soul that has gone for a walk and the remaining body are connected by a very thin silver thread, which, if necessary, passes a signal to return the soul to the physical body. And through it, the soul finds a way to its body. This thread can stretch at any distance.

SLEEP - TRAVEL TO THE ASTRAL

Astral travels

Where do all these subtle bodies travel? It is likely that most often they travel in a world created from matter of the astral plane. This is the most extensive plan in which all the essences of the Subtle World live - angels, saints, demons, souls of dead people in anticipation of another incarnation, thought forms created by people, egregors, elementals, and much more, often very aggressive and far from safe for the mind and psyche person (especially in the lower floors of the astral).

To understand what it is - the astral world, remember your vivid dreams. This is it. In a dream, your soul flew there, participated in some events and at the same time recharged with energy. But in a dream, events happen to you that are independent of you. You are a participant in these events, but nobody knows why they are exactly like that. And you including. The astral world is infinitely diverse, and it changes at every moment in time. There are incredibly rich colors, smells, sounds. In general, it is interesting there.

Journey through the physical world

Sometimes astral travelers manage to look into our physical world. This is the aerobatics of astral travel, although many methods suggest starting an astral journey from our physical world. If this happens, then you can freely fly into the Bahamas or the North Pole in the astral body, look into the bedroom of prominent politicians or pop idols, peek at the plans of the General Staff of any country or take a walk on a submarine lying on alert somewhere in the depths the ocean. In general, much is possible. But this is very difficult, since the astral world is unstable, often changing, and instead of the real world, you can very easily fly into a very similar world, but already made up.

In any case, there are references in the literature that astral travel specialists compiled maps of Mars and the far side of the moon long before the satellites circled and photographed these celestial bodies. This is an example of astral travelers explicitly reading information about our physical world.

Conscious Projection

So, our soul travels, and the body rests at this time. What is the complexity of this procedure? It is difficult to realize a conscious astral projection when you travel through fictional or real worlds, but remain fully conscious, in control of the situation, and you can stop the journey at any time, take any action or change the route.

This is precisely the difficulty - to maintain criticism, control over the situation and the realization that you are traveling, but you can interrupt all this at any time. In conscious astral travels, your will and control over the situation are with you. This is exactly what we lack in ordinary dreams, where we also actively participate in various events. But why, why in these events and so on - it does not depend on us.

In the conscious astral projection, this is not so. There you are the master of the situation. Well, maybe not quite the boss. But not a thoughtless puppet, as in an ordinary dream.

To learn how to make such trips, you need to learn.

Aids

There are many different means that help you make your astral journey. For example, these are hallucinogenic drugs, including drugs. They literally knock a person’s soul out of the body and throw it into the astral world. Usually not very low in the lower astral. But, nevertheless, everything is very unusual there, so drug addicts love to leave our cruel world in the world of their dreams (that is, in the astral world).

However, drugs usually do not allow a conscious projection to be made, since the person who takes this drug loses will and ability to control events. It completely depends on those entities of the Subtle world to which the drug throws out his soul. Naturally, it is impossible to extract any practical benefit from these trips. You can only have fun. But this is a very expensive and unsafe (in every sense) entertainment. Therefore, we do not advise putting on such experiments.

Is it possible to benefit from this

Indeed, is it possible to get any benefit from astral travel? It seems to us possible. But here a lot will depend on what astral travel technique you use, and where it allows you to get.

If this technique takes you to fantastic worlds (such as dreams), then you can simply enjoy or thrill from such travels. It can be views of wonderful nature, battles, flights into space and other similar pictures. If you wish, you can move anywhere in this fantastic terrain, enter buildings, communicate with their inhabitants or remain invisible to them, and so on.

What practical result can be drawn from this? If you own a pen, you can write a fantastic work. If you know how to draw, then easily paint a picture based on your travels. And so on.

Techniques allowing you to travel in our real world (for example, the technique of the “small method" by E. Peach) can give more applied results. You can consciously move around any point on our planet and even inside it. Perhaps you will see something useful there that you can use in your practical life.

For example, you can mentally fly shopping and find the thing you need there. Of course, then you still have to go there to buy - but you will save a lot of time on searches.

You can fly to your friends or relatives in another city or country and see what they do there. Say hello to them, most likely, will not succeed. But the information on them in itself, perhaps, will give you pleasure.

You can also search for missing people, things, sunken ships, treasures, minerals and so on. You can see where the millionaires are hiding money and then use this information for personal purposes. You can find the location of enemy submarines in the depths of the ocean and transmit this information to the native General Staff. In general, think for yourself how you could benefit from the fact that you freely and invisibly move around the world.

You will probably meet other astral travelers or the souls of dead people. From communicating with them, you may benefit a lot.

An even greater effect can be obtained if you learn to move in our real world not only in the present time, but also to move along the time axis into the past or future.

It is difficult here with the future, since it seems to be multivariate and it is not known whether the option that you will find yourself on your journey is really being realized. But in the past you can freely fly and see how in reality these or other historical events took place. Intervene in them, of course, will not succeed - because you will be ethereal. But to be in the thick of any event is quite possible.

What benefit can be drawn from this? This can be, again, a historical or science fiction novel, a picture, a movie script, and so on. You can find real places of historical burials (of the same Amber Room) or the death of ships, and then use this information to your advantage. From the future, you can bring a design of a flying saucer or perpetual motion machine. Although it is not clear how this can be used in our practical life. Rather, such knowledge will pull you out of the stream of life, because you will devote all your efforts to the implementation of an idea that has not yet matured for our time.

More useful may be information about who will become the next President in a year, what the national currency rate or the stock price of different companies will be. It is not at all difficult to derive real benefit from this information, but it is very difficult to get it.

These are roughly the prospects for conscious astral travel. We hope you enjoyed it all, although it resembles a fantastic work.

This is all unsafe.

But, as you know, everything here is not so simple. There are many dangers associated with astral travel that cannot be ignored.

Unlike working with a frame or the automatic writing method, everything is much more complicated here. Opportunities are wider, but there are more dangers. What can they be? In principle, there are several.

For example, the literature on astral projection sometimes mentions the possibility that the soul of another person (or a sinful spirit) can settle in your body at a time when your own will make an astral journey. And when your soul (that is, your “set” of subtle bodies) returns, it will either have nowhere to populate, or will have to cram with an alien. As a result, an extremely unpleasant obsession situation will arise, about which we will talk more.

Probably, this option is not excluded, especially if you conduct astral projection without following the safety rules and have no contact with your Guardian Angel, which will have to save your body from such uninvited settlers.

Another danger is related to the fact that during astral travels you can fly into the lower astral plane, where many entities far from friendly to us live. And some of them may attack you and damage your psyche. As a result, you may lose your mind.

In general, along with the study of astral travel techniques, it is necessary to study the safety techniques of these travels. And then everything will be in order - like the thousands of people in our world who own the techniques of conscious astral projection. Often these people wage so-called “astral wars” among themselves, attacking and repelling the attacks of other astral travelers.

If you get involved in this, then your life from this, as you understand, will become much more fun. Since, in addition to the problems of our real world, you will begin to solve problems that come to you from the astral world. But whether your life will become smarter from this is a big question.

All these pleasures (often of a dubious nature) are devoid of information reading methods.

What is the astral dimension?

The astral dimension is the closest dimension to the physical. It permeates and embraces the world like a huge network that captures and delays all thoughts that are born into the world. Its contents are created by the collective consciousness of the whole world. This dimension contains the thoughts, memories, fantasies and dreams of every living creature on Earth. Inside it, according to the law of mutual attraction (or “like attracts like”), this entire ocean of thought material is divided into certain groups or layers. These sets of thoughts are also called astral planes, sub-planes, astral worlds or realities. This dimension consists of astral matter, which can be easily represented as a “substance of thought”. This substance is incredibly sensitive to the effects of thought and can take any shape and form. The resulting formations are sometimes so clear and perfect that they cannot be distinguished from reality. The best way to explain what it is - a thought substance - is to draw a parallel between astral matter and unmanifest film. When a film is exposed to light focused by the lens of a movie camera, a clear picture of the real world is instantly captured on it thanks to the chemical reaction of the film to light. When a thought focused by the lenses of consciousness is projected onto astral matter, a clear image of reality is instantly formed from the latter due to its reaction to thought. The intricacy of the resulting education and the duration of its existence to a large extent depend on the energy of consciousness that creates it.

ASTRAL MEASUREMENT

Unfortunately, only relatively few of the vast army of modern students of psychology, as well as the recently admitted members of the Temple of Humanity, have become acquainted with one of the main teachings of the Religion of Wisdom, namely the doctrine of the Seven Principles, or seven sections, Matter, Force and Consciousness. Therefore, most students experience serious difficulties in interpreting certain terms or in trying to link together the various references and details that are constantly used by their teachers. All this causes great embarrassment and sometimes brings significant harm. And most of the harm is obtained in the case when the unknowing person undertakes to interpret the nature and functions of the lower "I" - linga- sharira,   as it is usually called in the teachings of the far East, or "Ka" - a double, shadow, according to the terminology of the ancient Egyptians.

This part of the human being, which is built and matures with the mind and physical body of a person, after the soul leaves the body, remains for a certain period of time, although it is invisible to most people. Just as a lifeless body disintegrates due to the action of elementary forces, the lower astral is disintegrated by the same forces a little later - when the soul goes into a higher order of life - unless it is animated by the thought and will of the incarnating ego  or not attached by a strong desire to the earth.

It is this lower “I” - “Ka” of the soul attached to the earth that meets the call of the average spiritualist and is often observed on graves or when separated from the body at the time of death.

It also acts in sensory dreams, since its substance is created by the lower, or sensory, pole of human nature. Since it is a perfect repetition of the physical body, it is often mistaken for a deceased person herself.

Sometimes before death, this “Ka” acquires such powerful control over the body that it completely displaces the true essence of man - his soul. And then in this person there is an incredible change for the worse. Such a change can occur due to damage to the physical body or brain, paralyzing some spiritual or brain center, which prevented the natural control of the soul enclosed in the body, leaving it at the mercy of the elemental forces of this lower "I".

The appearance of this creature in most cases is such that it fills any heart with horror or disgust. You will get some idea of \u200b\u200bhis appearance and inclinations if you realize that every selfish, sensual, evil thought cherished and sent by you, as well as the nature and power of the forces liberated from all such acts committed by you in life, are concentrated and materialized in that lower self. And if you also realize that this “I” is endowed with the conceit of the layman, his ability to compromise, to betray, then it will become clear to you that such an entity naturally seeks to mislead a weak person about its true character and claims, and even of her appearance, for which she tries to obscure the mind of the observer.

In short, this is the devil embodied in human nature. Such a devil lives in every person and, depending on the inner spiritual qualities, can be weak or strong. And this devil, like that who tempted Jesus, always “lifts the soul to a high mountain” and offers her all “kingdoms of the earth”. This means that he always plays on the ambition and greed of human nature and tries to make a deal with the soul that dwells inside, offering those things that, in essence, he is powerless to give, in exchange for the favor and devotion of the soul, for he can exist only with her consent.

If the reality of the existence of the power of this other, lower “I” will be fully realized by the soul, this antithesis of the lower “I”, then the danger of suffering from his intrigues and tricks will be much less.

All true neophytes know that it opposes the forces and principles that the human soul is clothed with. But if we can accept and realize the invariable and immutable truth of the words “I am omnipotent,” we will realize that we are able to overcome evil and make powerless this demon, this worst enemy who has assumed a human form in order to mislead.

Good is omnipotent. Evil, or darkness, can always be scattered by good - Light. But you cannot defeat evil by denying the existence of this very material essence, as some would like, because with this denial you only give it strength and power, adding another lie to the one that originally served to create it. And sometime in the future, this entity, destroying the boundaries raised by such a negation, will destroy the harmony in your aura and you will have to reckon with it.

You should by all means affirm the power of good, while identifying with this good your higher “I”. Constantly keeping in mind the thought of such an identification, you thereby completely ignore your lower self, and this is the only thing it is afraid of. With your refusal to supply him with the substance that he needs to live, that is, the substance of your own evil thoughts and words, his strength runs out, it becomes less and less dense, and after death and even before it quickly collapses. This happens with the Masters and with the advanced chelas who have destroyed their lower "I",defeating him with good and thus changing his nature.

It is said that the Great Teacher has no shadow - it is extremely rare to see a shadow in such a society.

Do not feed, do not feed this lower “I” with your fear of its impact or the obedient recognition of its power over you.

Try to realize the truth of the words: “I am one with God and all Good; evil has no power over me ”- and, having recognized evil powerless, you will be freed from its power. It is the recognition of this lower "I", dressed in stolen equipment - the form of deceased friends - that makes spiritualistic sessions so dangerous, because almost all reliable materializations are made by the lower "I" of the medium, which clothe itself in the image in the brain of the interrogator through the magnetism of the latter.

The conscious life of the lower self passes on the lower astral plane, which is why it has access to astral records. Sometimes such an entity can to some extent tell the truth and predict something correctly, especially if it can give itself more significance. But, as a rule, he cannot be trusted at all, for his nature is highly variable. And the true purpose of its existence is to preserve or concentrate the transient evil in human nature within some form, or sphere, where it can be more easily and quickly destroyed or, rather, changed by embodied ego  for good, when he is again given the opportunity to pay the karmic debts accumulated in past lives - debts created as a result of evil thoughts and deeds.

Every normal person is more or less aware of the existence of this lower self. During serious trials, it was his voice that was heard in the inner ear, often making you believe in divine intervention. But this voice, once recognized, can be silenced.

Only an Initiate of a high degree can bring the souls of two individuals into conscious contact if they are on different planes. But since this is often very harmful for a soul freed from the bonds of matter, it is done only in exceptional cases for an important reason.

- That's the find! He whispered, slapping Yegorov on the shoulder.
  “They caught the Martian trait by the tail!”
  - So let's quickly baptize, baptize him, the enemy son! - exclaimed Yegorov.
  (E. Parnov, M. Emtsev, “The Last Door”)

The astral plane is the area of \u200b\u200bvisualization onto which mental, vital, energy elements can be projected, arising either spontaneously or during the practice of meditation. Each person looks into the Astral involuntarily during dreams, the uncontrolled penetration of the astral plane into the physical is manifested in the form of hallucinations. There is also a physical exit to the Astral.

Once in the Astral, a person can relate to what is happening as events, although in reality they are only visual transcriptions of states (less often - concepts), those mental images that thus manifest themselves on the physical plane, including in the form of hallucinations, states, voices.

Astral forms and entities cannot touch a person until he has lost the sense of physical reality and has not become involved in the performance imposed on him. The astral defense is precisely based on a clear awareness of this characteristic feature of the Subtle World.

We live in the midst of energies that are perceived by us as a consequence of their effects. On this mental side of the World, invisible to the untrained eye, some actions can occur that affect the fate of the Physical World. It’s rare, but there are times when these forces break through the veil and flood the minds of sensitives, healers, magicians (and other “trained” people), as well as all those who got in the way.

Fortunately, this rarely happens. And paradoxical as it may seem, but it is our illiteracy, unbelief, and that inability to perceive all aspects of the Subtle World that is the main defense created by evolution. However, under certain conditions, we can "fly" into this area or open the curtain:

- meeting with a sensitive, healer, suggestologist;
   - falling into the zone of action of latent forces (, "triangles", zones, etc.);
   - the practice of some psychotechnics;
   - the case of exposing oneself as a victim of the previous three conditions.

There is only one way out of this - not to respond, not to be interested, to leave and not become at the moral level of the attacker, since more humane methods are more effective and safer when used.

The overwhelming majority of participants in the astral “theater of magic” comprise the most diverse vital projections, and therefore a person who dares to visit the Astral must perfectly master re-identification with his vital shell on the physical plane. If you, while staying in Astral, are well consolidated at least on a mental level (for example, by using such an elementary form - grounding and non-interference, then you are safe. Uninvited contemplation is the astral strategy of visualization masters in Tibet and the Far East. Europeans called in no case do you forget that going out into the Astral, you fall into the world of imagination, and imaginary hostile forces coming from outside must be fought with the same imagination. Here you can clearly see the "heroic" Europe . Cue approach, do not accept the "lazy" east contemplation Caucasian unable to watch passively for some action - it needs to participate, perform feats, to restore justice.

Consequently, the style of behavior is also different - to shoot at astral balls, wave a rune sword, detonate an astral bomb of 150 megatons ... But, as mentioned above, the struggle is at the subconscious level, and the enemy, gradually adapting, begins to confidently win. In this case, it is necessary either to hastily change the object of the attack - “chur, I don’t play”, or to call the patrol of the Galactic Security Service for help in a heart-rending voice - maybe he will be in time in time.

  There are all kinds of gods,
  but I'm not so vain to imagine
  that any of the gods is interested in my opinion about him.
  (D. B. Cabell, The Tale of Manuel)

There are two types of penetration of the Astral plane into the physical;

1. The Thinning of the Veil, dividing the worlds;
   2. “The breaking of the veil”, accompanied by the exit of astral beings into the sphere of perception of the physical world.

The first type causes a person to feel someone's invisible presence. In most cases, this sensation can be accompanied by pointless fear, which can turn into a panic, accompanied by unusual behavior. This fear is a natural reaction of a living organism to an unpredictable situation, that is, a situation in which there is no objective opportunity to predict the course of events and apply existing stereotypes of responses; perception and behavior are removed from the automatic mode of operation and transferred to "manual control". You are ready for anything. The body turns into a fist, ready to instantly respond to any blow or threat. This condition manifests itself as pointless fear, as anxiety, expectation of the bad. Nervous exhaustion, neurosis, psychosis, breakdown, hysteria - these are the most hourly occurring symptoms of thinning or rupture of the veil, less often - a psychological attack.
  The death of the victim is an extremely rare outcome.

But! Before looking for the machinations of occult enemies (the devil, demons, tax collectors, larvs, etc.), you should consult with a neurologist or psychiatrist. Only after the exclusion of common diseases can we talk about the patient's obsession with something otherworldly, etc. An example is the reverend father of the novel “Expelling the Devil”.

Because the factors contributing to the thinning of the veil may also be alcoholic psychosis, delirium (“delirium tremens”). There was a case when vulgar appendicitis was taken for spoilage, and for a poltergeist - an elderly relative who constantly hides various little things in the most unexpected places: wax - a refrigerator, toothpaste - in a boot, and forks - a battery.

An ideal experiment simulating a state of anxiety and fear - walking alone through a dense forest on a moonless night; well, if the forest is dense, and the weather is windy. Fundamentally, this situation is safe - there are no tigers or alligators in our latitudes, and the criminal public is sitting at home in such weather. Nevertheless, such a walk will help you feel a state of pointless fear. Fear cannot be defeated, because this is a natural behavior of the body, but fear can be accumulated and used to increase one's own strength: one from fear loses its ability to even move, and the other - with a squirrel flies up a smooth column up.

The key to localizing fear lies on the mental level. It is impossible to neutralize it either by suppression or by persuasion; here it is necessary to achieve agreement using the simple wording “be what will be”. Thus, the intellect ceases to “calculate probable and improbable situations” and agrees to participate in what is happening. This liberating form of consent is accompanied by an automatic stop of the mental flow by a sharp clarification of the perception of what is happening. By the way, if you decide to use fear, then it must be a “manipulative” action, and its transformation requires work not only of consciousness, but also of the subconscious, often at the level of “super effort”.

In the event of a “curtain breaking”, entities from the Astral penetrate the perception of the Physical World. In this case, awareness of what is happening is necessary. Sometimes these are voices, which are hostile, imposing information, persuading it to accept, otherwise - threatening all sorts of troubles. They can impersonate anyone, depending on the situation on the physical plane of the Earth. Once upon a time: Beelzebub, Asmodeus, later - the spirit of Napoleon, even closer to our times -. In fact, they are rarely informative, and even then, they are more likely to dissuade from the performance of certain acts. But as soon as a voice tries to impose its will on you, know that this is an indicator of hostility. In principle, both those and other voices can bring to a psycho-neurological clinic. The strength of the votes lies in the fact that the attack turns out to be unexpected, and the main conquest of the "bridgehead" is done right away, no time is given for critical reflection. It’s hard not to give in, especially when such a thing is new. By the way, this is similar with the reaction of others.

For example: if you are being insulted (and you are obediently insulting), rather, you don’t feel any manipulations with your own psyche, you only feel negative emotions, you see that the offender is a bad person and does evil (is rude, doesn’t speak out). It almost never occurs to us that we have already started dancing to his tune, experiencing the conditions imposed on us, and behaving inappropriately - cursing hooligan grandmothers on young people in vehicles while criticizing the President and the government. (When we hate enemies, we give them power over ourselves. By settling scores, we harm, first of all, ourselves. "If you want revenge, swarm two graves: the enemy and yourself" and "Sit quietly on the doorstep of your house, and they’ll pass you by the corpse of your enemy "- these are, perhaps, two basic principles of communication with enemies. More precisely, with the same people as we are, but others, strangers. In this case we are not talking about pathology (maniacs, sadists, etc.) .

Complaints of the “victim” of the so-called mental attack look similar: they tell you the essence of the conflict, sputtering. But try to ask him more about everything. Most often, it turns out that in addition to foggy and dark hints, allegories and clarifications: “Do you understand me ?!”, nothing follows, but the specific question: “So what did he do ?!” - they will answer you: “He’s very good He gave a meaningful wink and smiled ambiguously.

You can communicate with entities, but not on the physical but on the mental level, that is, without the participation of a voice. You can get answers to questions of interest, find out something, although the accuracy of the information is most often unknown, but everyone likes to joke.

Sincerely and deeply asking, he can go to the so-called astral Teacher, that is, the “personified projection of the intuitive sphere hypergological mental screen” and receive valuable information from the Astral. Unlike any voices, the Teacher (Ally, Friend) answers only what he is asked about. Sometimes, instead of answering, he gives advice to accomplish something (usually these are cases connected with some kind of “over-effort” and giving the opportunity to self-reveal, to change consciousness). If the required action does not contain a threat to the body, and you are convinced that this is not a joker (experienced people say that there are plenty of them), then as a result of this action you unexpectedly get an answer that, it seems to you, is unexpected " falls out of nowhere.

In fact, to ask a question, you need to know most of the answer. For example, you ask: “Who is stronger, a whale or three bishops?”, “What is the strongest move in chess?”, “What is more significant and better - a passed pawn or an unhappy minuscule?”. As you can see, there is a comparison of the incomparable. All the components in the questions are on different planes, even if the question is about the game, but with different rules.

One more example in the end (in order to “finish it off!”) - the savage sits and asks the Teacher: “Why can't a star be knocked down with a stone?”, And besides, it’s waiting for an understandable answer. Indeed, for an adequate answer, it is necessary to explain the sphericity of the Earth, the theory of universal gravitation, the heliocentric theory, introduce the concept of cosmic velocities, metrology, and compromising ... What will he understand? Nothing. It’s easier to say: “Taboo!” - “It is impossible!”. This will be the most understandable, and subsequently this simple ban will be overgrown with legends and traditions, and the decryption will be the bread of exotericism and occultism. Years of commercials in 2-3 thousand.

Calling on common sense, the author recalls a once popular proverb -   “For one beaten they give two unbeaten.” That is, a person who has experienced at least once fear, fear, horror already knows what it is, knows how to handle it and can use it to good use if it wants.

The astral plane differs from all other planes also in the sense that there is a lower astral and a higher astral. The lower part of the astral plane is very similar to the area of \u200b\u200bthe etheric in which they are in contact, and the higher part of the astral plane is similar to the mental plane in the area of \u200b\u200btheir contact. No other plan has such a clear distinction between higher and lower levels. Ethereal is ethereal, mental is mental, but the astral contains in a mixed form the elements of each of these planes, which, in fact, makes it so amazing. The astral plane must be entered very carefully, using the absolutely correct technique, otherwise the troubles can be serious.

The forms, such as they are by themselves, are very mobile on the astral plane in the sense that they are fluid and very easily and quickly change their appearance and form. Since the astral plane is the place of the play of fundamental forces, there is a lot of color on it, which in itself is the Force. All astral forms consist of many colored dots, of which there are so many that this area is called the stellar plane or the astral, from the word "aster" meaning "star". Forms that are closer to the "bottom" of the lower astral are largely of the nature of the etheric plane and, thus, are more stable, although they carry this star-like effect, which is a sign of the astral plane.

On the higher astral plane, “forms” practically have no form and color reigns supreme, as the astral merges with the mental plane. The mental plane is a plane of forces and is completely devoid of form or forms. The whole area of \u200b\u200bthe mental plane consists of color, and these colors are the vibrations themselves.

There is a kind of magic in which a person can enter this mental plane in a form created from lower matter. This "form", as such, is brought "from below" to the "top". Or, to make it clearer, the form is organized from matter of a much lower plane and then this form is "taken up" to the mental plane. When this is done correctly, a person can do a lot. (And again, this refers to work of a higher order, although it is appropriate to explain to people what is and what can be done. When you are ready, contact me on this issue).

Of course, you have an astral body, but there is no material way to feel it, as you can do with the etheric body. You cannot see the astral body until you are sufficiently developed to begin and successfully complete one of the types of enhanced training that is discussed in the last chapter of this book.

The astral body and the astral plane are very “deceptive” when working with them, and some experience is required as to what and how to do. You should never enter this plan without having certain experience in any work with projections of a lower order. The method that I am going to give you to start this work is very good for getting such necessary experience. You also have mental and causal bodies. Not much can be said about them, much less in this little book.

YOU ARE THEM - mental and causal bodies are not used for projection, and since this book is about projection, these bodies will no longer be mentioned.

Here, I believe, it will be useful for you if I stop and briefly summarize what I have talked about so far. If you do not understand everything to the end, then I again ask you to take my word for these questions until you examine them yourself and experience them.

We now know that a person has, in addition to the physical, several more bodies. We know that each of these bodies corresponds to a certain plan, and it is on these corresponding plans that the consciousness of the corresponding bodies is projected: starting from the physical plane, as from the foundation, because it is now the center of our consciousness.

We learned that the etheric and mental planes are very different both from each other and from other planes, but the astral plane is a plan of gradual changes from the lower to the higher. We have found that the lower astral plane resembles the etheric plane to which it adjoins with its lower region, and the higher astral plane resembles the mental plane with which its higher region adjoins. We now know that the astral plane is the “largest” of all planes and that there are more differences than similarities on it. (In fact, on the astral plane and on no other plane than the physical, there are no such things as a larger, smaller, top, bottom, side, or anything like that. However, when describing this work, we are forced to use a common language. Therefore, as I said, if you meet a word marked with “-”, then look for a deeper meaning for it, for which there are no suitable words in a common language.)

We saw that due to its interesting complexity, the astral plan attracted the greatest attention of those who wanted to engage in the Art of Projection. We learned that projections can be done with both the etheric and the astral body. We have learned that while we live and move in all our bodies, the center of our consciousness is currently in the physical body. We found that instead of what seems to us to be a real "projection", we simply transfer our personal consciousness to another body and continue to live and move in it in the same way as we do now in the physical body. Since most practitioners end up with projections onto the astral plane, and since the etheric projection requires special work for limited purposes and actually takes place in the borderline between the ether and the astral plane, we, knowing this, by projections we mean only Astral Projections and no other than those cases when this will be specially negotiated. I still felt that it was necessary to mention the etheric, lower and higher astral planes, since all other teachers completely omit this question (probably they do not know about it), and the student should always know what he is doing. Very often projections are different, and the student by the nature of the surrounding "landscape" can find out on what plane he is.

In my past work on teaching Astral Projection, some questions have come up again and again. I recall that when I started myself, the same questions bothered me. Therefore, I decided to bring all these questions together and immediately answer them. According to the frequency of occurrence, these are the following questions:

1. Why don't other teachers give precise instructions on working with the Art of Astral Projection, how do you do it?

2. Maybe studying the Art of Projection is not good?

3. Is it difficult to learn this art?

4. Are there several ways to project?

5. What results can I expect by studying this art?

6. What can one expect “to see” “there”?

These are all natural, important questions, and they need to be answered before you get to work. Therefore, I will answer them in order.
