Liber Luna Sanguinus "In Bloodstained Mist, the Lunar Sphere morphed into a vision of That which shall

Just a few notes ago I read writing on Sigi" .agic! by an author who started by saying /E%o"ution is not ny 0ati%e "anguage so p"ease forgi%e $y gra$$atica" errors1. Though this persons Eng"ish was better than a "ot of peop"e who possess the "anguage as their nati%e tongue it was sti"" not e2ui%a"ent to an e#perienced author and had it3s share of errors. The i$portant factor is I "earned fro$ this indi%idua"3s writings and his points were e#pressed successfu""y. This is $y goa" with these writings despite $y s!i""s (or "ac! of* for presenting this $ateria" in a unifor$ $anner. 0ow I sha"" co%er the words or concept of +IS,-.. +isdo$ is not !now"edge it is not power and it is not e#perience but it is a "etha" co$bination of these three traits. 4nyone can read and "earn so$ething there is sti"" "ac! of !now"edge. 5ou cannot !now so$ething without e#periencing it "i!ewise you can3t e#perience so$ething without !nowing about it and say that you !now e%erything about it because of your e#perience.

,rea$ Stages: Science has found ways to ana"yDe dissect and print the b"ue prints of drea$ing. The scientific and $etaphysica" e#tre$ities concerning %iews and be"iefs on drea$ing ha%e their e#tre$es a"" right howe%er the para""e"s that are present are $ost fascinating. Basica""y the s"eeper goes into drea$s once they reach :.E.. (:apid Eye .o%e$ent* s"eep. Se%era" phases of :E. s"eep occur in one night3s s"u$ber the $ost intense being appro#i$ate"y an hour before wa!ing ti$e and this is when you e#perience the drea$s that you $ost co$$on"y reca"". +e wi"" "ater go $ore into :E. s"eep in greater detai" but for now I wi"" be co%ering a su$$ariDed out"ine of other phases of s"eep that are of interest to the drea$er. The first state of s"eep and drea$ing is ca""ed the &5P047-7I; ST4TE which is pertaining to the period of drowsiness between wa!efu"ness and s"eep. This is when you are ha"f way across the %ei" of s"eep in scientific ter$s and ha"fway across the %ei" of the abyss in occu"tic ter$s. It is a %ery interesting state to e#perience and obser%e and I ha%e yet to $eet any person that has not se$iAconscious"y e#perienced this state. &ere is a scenario I thin! the $a'ority of peop"e ha%e e#perienced. 5ou are fa""ing as"eep as soon as you "ea%e your consciousness behind you are 'o"ted awa!e by the sensation of fa""ing find yourse"f "ying e#act"y where you fee" as"eep. This is one of the $any for$s of a &ypnagogic ha""ucination. These ha""ucinations are co$$on in the state of preAs"eep and %ary fro$ the fa""ing sensation to auditory ha""ucinations co$$on"y of the ha%ing your na$e ca""ed out to %isua" ha""ucinations so$eti$es faces so$eti$es geo$etric shapes so$eti$es the start"ing %ision of seeing a figure standing o%er you. 4 si$i"ar type of sensation(s* a"so occurs when you are wa!ing up this is referred to as the &5P0-P-.PI; ST4TE where the s"eeperEdrea$er is 'ust crossing the %ei" into wa!efu"ness. The resu"t of this state are a bit different $ore s"uggish howe%er there are e#ceptions such as one wou"d wa!e up for a drea$ or $ore "i!e"y a night$are and start screa$ing unti" they ha%e the few seconds to rea"ist that is was =a"" 'ust a drea$3. 4nother co$$on e#a$p"e of this &ynopo$pic state wou"d be those who wa!e to an a"ar$ c"oc!. Bsua""y in the $orning hours 'ust before wa!ing you are in the $idd"e of a drea$ it is co$$on to ha%e a drea$ and hear the a"ar$ c"oc! in your drea$ and s"uggish"y awa!en to rea"iDe it has been going off in your bedroo$ for the "ast F $inutes) These two states of inAbetween s"eep and wa!efu"ness are %ery interesting when ta!ing an e#a$ination through a scientific out"oo! as we"" as a $etaphysica" or paranor$a" out"oo!. The "ast stage of drea$ing I wish to discuss in this section is that of LB;I, ,:E4.I07. ;hances are e%eryone has e#perienced a "ucid drea$ but $any if not $ost peop"e do not reca"" these drea$s. LB;I, ,:E4.I07 is when you are drea$ing and you rea"iDe it and gain consciousness. There are "e%e"s of Lucidity one can reach in a drea$ starting fro$ si$p"y !nowing you are drea$ing but sti"" not being ab"e to sha!e that $onster that is chasing you to the e#tent of !nowing you are drea$ing and being ab"e contro" e%erything in your en%iron$ent and being ab"e to do anything you wish. Lucidity is nor$a""y e#perienced after you start a nor$a" drea$. ;o$$on"y so$ething you see in the drea$ or do wi"" trigger in your $ind that you are drea$ing and that is where it a"" beings. .any accounts reported are si$i"ar. &ere is an e#a$p"e of one that one "ucid drea$er reported within scientific e#peri$ents. =I drea$t I was wa"!ing down a street to $y house I noticed that the houses had a"" changed on $y street at that point I rea"iDed I was 'ust drea$ing and decided I wou"d f"y ho$e instead of wa"!ing and fro$ there began f"ying the sensation was so %i%id and "ifeA"i!e I was not e#act"y con%inced I was not drea$ing and began to fear that

I wou"d fa"" fro$ $y f"ight. I was %ery e#cited by the sensation and short"y after I wo!e up3 This is a %ery co$$on and a%erage scenario of a "ucid drea$ it is a"so co$$on to awa!en out of the drea$ or si$p"y "ose "ucidity short"y after going "ucid this is $ost "i!e"y fro$ e#cite$ent. +ords a"one cannot e#p"ain the sensation of being "ucid and I ha%e found no fee"ing that $atches it in intensity. C .y studies within drea$ing and "ucid drea$ing were dri%en by a =thirst3 after I e#perienced $y first "ucid drea$ that I was ab"e to re$e$ber after wa!ing. 4fter that taste of abso"ute power freedo$ power and contro" I was deter$ined to $aster this are and ha%e "earned $any techni2ues to $a!e this possib"e $ost of which I wi"" be presenting here. Le%e"s of Lucidity:

4s I brief"y $ention(ed* here (and* there in the pre%ious section. Lucidy within drea$s is e#perienced on different "e%e"s. The "owest being that you si$p"y rea"ise you are drea$ing but re$ain without any power of contro" of your drea$ so$eti$es not e%en the abi"ity to wa!e up at wi"") Then there is when you can contro" what you do in your drea$ whether it is to f"y breathe under water or si$p"y $urder e%eryone you see) This success you ha%e with what you wish to do tends to f"uctuate for e#a$p"e I reca"" a "ucid drea$ I had where I was ab"e to f"y at wish howe%er instead of f"ying through the air gracefu""y I was $o%ing with "itt"e contro" of $y a"titude and not $uch $ore contro" of $y direction. I fe"t "i!e a he"iu$ ba""oon aw the $ercy of the winds. Then there is the u"ti$ate stages of Lucidity where you can contro" e%erything you wish you can shapeAshift into any ani$a" or beast you desire change your surroundings and at$osphere to whate%er you wish the possibi"ities are end"ess. These are 'ust I basic "e%e"s I ha%e described of Lucid ,rea$ing. There are of course count"ess "e%e"s of "ucidity that can be e#perienced in between a"" of these states. Basica""y in a "ucid drea$ there are rough"y three factors that deter$ine the type of "ucid drea$: 1) The :ea"isation: being aware that you are drea$ing.

2) The ;onfir$ation: the art of estab"ishing the truth. 3) The ;ontro": ha%ing power of your actions and drea$.

+ith a"" of the abo%e three aspects co$bined you can e#perience a fu"" b"own Lucid ,rea$ing which I assure you you wi"" find nothing to e2ua" this sensation. The first step :ea"isation is perhaps the hardest since it is the starting point you $ust reach to begin you path to ;onfir$ation and ;ontro". This re2uires deter$ination and persistence the ne#t section wi"" begin with $ethods for gaining this first step and entering the gates of "ucidity. ,o !eep in $ind howe%er Lucidity is a $a'or force in this boo! but it is not the u"ti$ate. -nce "ucidity is obtained and you are on the path of $astering this art you wi"" now be on the path to so$ething far beyond what is nor$a""y considered =drea$ing3. .ethods of Inducing Lucidity: These first two $ethods I wi"" present are ta!en fro$ ,r.

I ha%e read different theories on this which a"" ha%e good points but they wi"" not be discussed here since it is not re"e%ant to this section.

1 The TornadoA when your drea$ starts to fade the first thing you start to "ose is your
sense of %ision. +hen you see this beginning to occur i$agine yourse"f to be a tornado or whir"poo" and %isua"ise yourse"f spinning around. Oery co$$on"y you wi"" co$e into a co$p"ete"y different setting than what you were drea$ing howe%er your "ucidity wi"" re$ain and you do ha%e the possibi"ities of changing en%iron$ent or Twisting into yet another setting. C I noticed a co$$on e#perience I wou"d ha%e with this $ethod wou"d be that I wou"d ha%e $y eyes c"osed (drea$ eyes* and ha%e a fear of opening the$ and that it wou"d cause $e to awa!en. I thin! the reason behind this is that the state of "ucid drea$ing is so "ife "i!e to rea"ity I wou"d i$agine $y drea$eyes to be $y physica" eyes. +hen I wou"d get $yse"f to open $y eyes I wou"d either go bac! into the drea$ or $ore co$$on"y be in $y s"eeping cha$bers whi"e sti"" drea$ing. -ther resu"ts ha%e occurred in fa"se awa!ening. 2 Sense of Touch C 4nother usefu" $ethod when your "ucid drea$ begins to fade is to e#p"ore you sense of touch. Touch so$ething with your hands whether it is your face the ground anything with te#ture and focus on what you fee". This see$s to sitract the $ind in a way and !eep you occupied in your drea$ "ong enough to !eep it fro$ fading to wa!efu"ness. I C The ,eath Bed C This $ethod $ay be sued if you ha%e "ost "ucidity or if you ha%e wo!en up fro$ your drea$ ("ucid or not* C it is 2uite si$p"e. -nce you wa!e up re$ain $otion"ess !eep your eyes c"osed and "itera""y =p"ay dead3. 5ou wi"" find that you wi"" %ery 2uic!"y return into the "and of drea$ing co$$on"y to the sa$e drea$ you e#ited fro$. Bsing these $ethods a"ong with dedication and persistence you shou"d ha%e no reason not to be ab"e to induce within the art of Lucid ,rea$ing. Hro$ here you can begin your path to $astering this art. I wou"d reco$$end "oo!ing into organiDations such as the Lucidity Institute the .onroe Institute and other organiDations de%oted to the research of Lucid ,rea$ing if you fee" the need to study this in $ore depth. I doubt you wi"" find $uch $ore infor$ation that wi"" be usefu" to induce Lucidity that you ha%e not found here. 5ou wi"" be ab"e to find different accounts of peop"e3s "ucid drea$s studies and resu"ts and $ore interesting infor$ation. 4nother thing that $ay be of interest to "oo! into are "ucid drea$ induction $achines. I a$ ware of three or four co$panies which design these though I ha%e not used the$ they sound "i!e they wou"d be he"pfu". They are basica""y a set of gogg"es you wear whi"e you s"eep they are ab"e to detect when you are in :E. s"eep and send so$e sort of signa" to induce "ucidity. I !now these are rather cost"y. If you are $ere"y interested in ha%ing a "ucid drea$ then perhaps this is so$ething to "oo! into but if you wish to gain contro" o%er your own $ind there are no $echaniDed shortcuts. II LIBE: HLI7&T This second chapter is about 4stra" Pro'ection. 4stra" Pro'ection and Lucid ,rea$ing ha%e $any para""e"s. &owe%er one is considered .etaphysic and the other Scientific. The ideas of an astra" body is nothing new in society this idea has been !nown to e#ist since (+o*.an has been in e#istence. +hether you want to consider your astra" body your spirit

or a $ass of energy consisting of etheric currents is co$p"ete"y up to you. howe%er there fo""owing writings wi"" be treating and referring to your 4stra" Body as your in$ost se"f the force of entity which ani$ates your physica" body and where your $ind resides. The $ethods for astra" pro'ection are $any. I wi"" be co%ering a few of the$ that are a"" in %arying $anners but that I ha%e found to be the $ost successfu". 4 "arge %ariety of boo!s are pub"ished on this sub'ect $any of which I fee" are a waste of paper. This chapter is not to pro%e the rea"ity of astra" pro'ection or to say whether it is a state of dra$ing or an act of actua""y "ea%ing your body. That is so$ething you can distinugish for yourse"f. Just re$e$ber to $a!e a decision for this unti" you ha%e e#perienced the pheneo$enon wou"d not on"y be preA'udge$ent but spea!ing b"ind"y in ignorance without wisdo$ of the sub'ect. Li!e Lucid ,rea$ing 4stra" Pro'ection co$es with $uch wor! and patience e#cept for the handfu" of fortunate indi%idua"s that ha%e this happen with "itt"e or no effort at a"". 4ssu$ing you are not one of these =gifted3 indi%idua"s I sha"" proceed with the scriptures of Liber H"ight. ;hances are you ha%e e#perienced brief $o$ents of 4stra" Pro'ection without e%en rea"ising this. Hor e#a$p"e ha%e you e%er been $o%ing in a direction at a fast speed and 'o"ted to a sudden stop>> The sensation of your consciousness "ea%ing your physica" body s"ight"y occurs with this sensation. Though a $uch better e#a$p"e is when you are fa""ing as"eep to and 'o"ted awa!e with the sensation of fa""ing. The truth is you are fa""ing. E%ery ti$e you go into s"eep your astra" wanders. It is easiest to be ab"e to recognise and be conscious"y aware of this as your astra" body is between "ea%ing or entering your physica" body. So being that you achie%e astra" pro'ection e%ery night the hard part is staying conscious whi"e this occurs) This by no $eans is an easy tas!. I wi"" present se%era" techni2ues though which wi"" $a!e 2uite a worthy $ap for your 'ourney out of your body. -ne good techni2ue I ha%e recent"y disco%ered is to start getting better ac2uainted with the se"f of the 4byss the se"f of +a!ing and S"eep. To do this when you are "aying down re"a#ing ready to fa"" as"eep rest your e"bow ne#t to you on the bed and e#tend your hand and forear$ into the air. 4s soon as you begin to drift into s"eep your handEar$ wi"" fa"" and this wi"" wa!e you bac! up. This e#ercise is successfu" for !eeping your conscious a"ert. 4nother $ethod that has $ore or "ess the sa$e resu"ts is to fa"" as"eep on your bac! with a pi""ow resting on your chest. 4s soon as you fa"" as"eep you wi"" be awa!ened and with this $ethod you tend to awa!en 'ust as your astra" body begins to separate fro$ the physica". -bser%e and $a!e note of the sensation and occurances that ta!e p"ace they wi"" %ary but the $ore you "earn and e#perience the $ore sense it wi"" a"" begin to $a!e. The 4stra" 7ate: This is a $ethod I ha%e found through persona" e#perience. I a$ sure I a$ not the on"y one that uses this $ethod but I ha%e read about it nowhere and since it is (for $e* the easiest way to achie%e conscious astra" pro'ection I wi"" present this $ethod first before going through the $ore co$$on steps of re"a#ation $editation etc. C The on"y preAre2uisite for this $ethod is being ab"e to be successfu" with "ucid drea$ing. -nce you are "ucid your $ind tends to wor! and be dri%en in strange $atters so it $ay ta!e se%era" atte$pts to achie%e this or it cou"d occur within your first "ucid drea$ that occurs as it did with $e. It is co$$on once you go "ucid to carry out strange instincts one wou"d not nor$a""y choose

for first choice in wa!ing "ife considering that you can do %irtua""y anything once "ucid. In genera" the urges of se#ua" nature and f"ying see$ predo$inant within "ucid drea$s. This is understandab"e but when you actua""y thin! that you cou"d be doing anything you possib"y cou"d i$agine or wish it strats to see$ that $aybe f"ying and fornication wou"d not necessari"y be your first choice when wa!ing. I a$ assu$ing this urges that are un"eashed when you are once again using a part of your $ind that society has uried "ong ago. &owe%er ne#t ti$e you are "ucid "ea%e your body. It is 2uite easy being that you don3t ha%e to go through the tedious steps of getting into a trance.

rotation. Hro$ this point I usua""y ha%e the options of f"oating trough what sees "i!e a type pf %oid or going to a preconcei%ed destination. I ha%e arri%ed in preconcei%ed destinations genera""y in two different ways. 1* I wi"" ascend towards the star and the speed and spinning get so intense that the stars are seen as "i%es (such as the $o%ie Star +ars during a spaceAwarp* and a"" the sudden I "ose a"" senses for a brief second and begin gaining consciousness in the destination p"anned.

T&E 4ST:4L SE0SES: -ne thing you can e#pect when first %enturing the astra" is a need to de%e"op your senses. 5our sense of %ision is what you wi"" perhaps notice first is "ac!ing.

T&E 6I07,-. -H S&4,-+S The fo""owing is a description of a p"ace I ha%e seen and e#perienced within (or perhaps beyond* the astra" rea"$s. I !now not of others who ha%e e#perienced this rea"$ but I !now of others who see$ to reside their. I be"ie%e these others are pure of astra" and without a physica" confine$ent.

I wi"" first e#p"ain why I ha%e chosen to na$e this p"ace the 6ingdo$ of Shadows. 4 few years bac! when first getting hea%i"y into the study and practice of astra" pro'ection. I had an e#perience that was un"i!e any others. It started with the description I ha%e "i%ed of fee"ing of disorientation@ 4fter se"fAe#a$ination as to whether I was drea$ing or possib"y going insane. I e%entua""y ca$e to the conc"usion that I was in a high and focused state of consciousness and this was not a drea$ as you wou"d thin!. 4fter accepting I was e#periencing so$ething rea" and e%ident $y senses s"ow"y ca$e to $e. Hirst the perception of touches and sound

then the perception of s$e"" and taste and "ast the perception of sight. I fe"t a strong urge to rise a$ongst the stars once I thought about this I found $y essence f"oating upwards and being carried on towards the s!y. The $oon see$ed to be particu"ar"y ca""ing out to $e as I "aDed out into the count"ess and see$ing"y end"ess spheres. I fe"t what I wou"d describe as a gra%itationa" pu"" sensation and was approaching the $oon at a %ery intense speed which grew in intensity the c"osed I reached. I cou"d see e%erything crysta" c"ear it see$ed. I cou"d start $a!ing out the craters of the $oon e%en after I reached a certain point I cou"d see co"or within the $oon. 4 deep scar"et red g"ow@ ;ri$son to be precise@ This I found shoc!ing due to the fact that I ha%e had se%era" drea$s of seeing the $oon in the co"or of b"ood in the past. I once again chec!ed and $ade sure that I was not drea$ing. I was getting so near to the $oon that it was a"" I cou"d see I saw no space around the horiDons. I then went into a sp"it second b"ac!out and the b"ac! then for$ed a deep red sort of c"oud. I found $yse"f surrounded in a p"ace of utter si"ence sa%e for an eerie roar. The sound was the first thing that caught $y attention and before I cou"d c"ose"y obser%e the strange "andscape I found that I was focusing on this roar. The sound was deep inside $y head@ I a$ not one to c"ai$ I ha%e recei%ed te"epathic $essages but fro$ what I ha%e studied and fro$ $y assu$ptions I wou"d fee" it is safe to say I cou"d hear this %io"ent roar though te"epathic $eans. 4fter pondering on the roar for 2uite so$e ti$e I cou"d $a!e out that it was the sound of the sea wa%es crushing %io"ent"y on the shores and a chaotic fury of watery currents. I then started "oo!ing around. I was in a type of forest it was night ti$e fro$ what I cou"d te"" but the at$osphere had a shade of grey that $ade things $uch $ore %isib"e. I "oc!ed up through tress and cou"d see strange shapes $o%ing a"" around $e. The shapes see$ed to be gi%ing off energy and I was interpreting the$ as astra" spirits. They appeared "i!e the si"houette of shadows a$ongst a deep grey bac!ground. &ard to $a!e out in e#act for$ but c"ear"y %isib"e. I tried to focus on a sing"e one and when I wou"d I wou"d hear a whispering %oice in $y head though I was easi"y distracted fro$ shape to shape spirit to spirit and wou"d shift focus to a"ternating shadows. 4t ti$es I cou"d hear the sound of what see$ed "i!e a hundred independent %oices whispering at a e%en where nothing was c"ear"y understood and I cou"d not e%en decipher whether or not it was in Eng"ish or not. The nature of these spirits wandering about $ade $e a bit on edge. They see$ed a"$ost "ost but he way the were $o%ing around through the sa$e patterns $ade $e thin! otherwise. I decided to wander onwards in this strange rea"$. I saw what "oo!ed "i!e a c"earing out past the forest and I headed that way. I reached the edge of the woods to find a gigantic c"iff on "oo!ing a $ighty sea. The sea was crushing against the c"iffs furious"y. I was struc! with an e#tre$e"y strange fee"ing which I cannot begin to describe as I gaDed into the seas watery depths@ The best description I cou"d gi%e is that I saw so$ething $o%ing in the sea with radiant power beyond anything I cou"d begin to i$agine. The on"y thing I cou"d $a!e c"ear of the shapes are what see$ed and fe"t to be eyes red in stare and piercing in contact. The eyes see$ed to be %ery deep within the waters but the g"ow grew stronger as I sat entranced by the stare. The see$ed to be ascending towards the seas surface and with a ghast"y burst fro$ the sea what "oo!ed "i!e a tornado of water ca$e forth at an indescribab"e height. I fe"t the wind fro$ the force hit $e before the approaching waters and was then fi""ed with the sensation of f"oating through this "and. I was drifting a$ongst these shadows I was pre%ious"y obser%ing. The winds see$ed to carry $e in%o"untari"y. I cou"d fee" a strange current of energy through the wind "i!e it was a"i%e. I passi%e"y drifted thoughout this !ingdo$ e#periencing an ons"aught of e$otions. I see$ed to be fee"ing ecstasy pain en'oy$ent and depression e%ery e$otion i$aginab"e a"ong with

their opposites a"" si$u"taneous"y. It was "i!e a potent"y pure for$ of gnosis. I then see$ed to fade a way fro$ the setting and then was 'o"ted bac! into $y physica" she"" as if I had fa""en fro$ a great height onto $y bac!. C I sti"" at that point was 2uite sure that it was not a drea$ or a hynopo$pic ha""ucination do to the at$osphere not under constant change and do to the c"arity of $y perception. 4fter this e#perience I ha%e found the gate to this !ingdo$ on"y J other ti$es but try $any ti$es to return. 0ow I sha"" present the "yrica" references fro$ the song 6ingdo$ of Shadows and the $eanings at "east so$e of the$. I rise to 5esod (sphere of the $oon* for fro$ the b"ood I found "ife I ascend in to the g"orious $oon"ight. This is the beginning of the e#perience I fe"t a drawing to the $oon the $oon was the co"or of b"ood and I saw a "ife within this b"ood. I ascended towards its "ight and found this for$ of "ife. Into the woods of bewitch$ent the whispering winds carry sou"s of the dead. This is when I first found $yse"f a$idst the nocturna" forest. I found these shadows f"oating about $e and first thought they were perhaps spirits in the dead a$ongst a sort of "i$bo and "ost. The whispers ca$e about $y ears "i!e wind. -nto the west shores of water I reach thy !ingdo$s edge to e$brace the co"d winds of the nocturne as I gaDe out into the abyss. The eye of Tia$at un"eashed its freeDing stare. This is when I reached the c"iffs of the furious sea the sea I ha%e interpreted as the 4psu or abyss and the presence within it Tia$at the dragon of pri$ordia" chaos. The red eyes I see sy$bo"ic as the eye of Tia$at her stare and breath brought $e to a pure gnosis %oid of nothing but containing e%erything@ chaos. Thy !ingdo$ is beauty thy !ingdo$ is pain in the chaotic b"iss of shadows. This is the referring si$p"y to the state I e#perienced of the co$bination of e$otions a"" at once. It was as if I was in agony but p"easure@ I$possib"e to e#p"ain with words howe%er it was a fee"ing of eternity. 4 fee"ing I fe"t I cou"d dwe"" within end"ess"y.
