Interesting Fact!
/ndirect techni0ues are ainly to
thank for our 1-2 success rate over only ,
days of attepts at three-day seinars,
even in groups of 3- people and ore.
Once, ore than half of the group had a
phase e4perience by the second day, and
ost had two or ore e4periences.
Cycles of ndrect techn8ues consst of attempts to
separate mmedately upon a.a+enn&# and f that s
unsuccessful# then 8uc+ly cycln& throu&h techn8ues o)er
the course of a mnute untl one of them .or+s# after .hch t
s possble to separate from the body. 2sually# $ to 9 properly
performed attempts are all that s necessary to obtan results.

STEP 7: GO .A,6 TO S4EEP WITH AN INTENTION
Dfter : to 9" mnutes of ben& a.a+e# &o bac+ to bed
and concentrate your attenton on ho. you .ll perform cycles
of ndrect techn8ues upon each subse8uent a.a+enn& n
order to lea)e your body and mplement your prepared plan
of acton. 7o need to set the alarm cloc+ ths tme. Each
subse8uent a.a+enn& should occur naturally. 0f tEs too
br&ht n the room# you can .ear a specal eye4mas+. 0f tEs
loud 4 use earplu&s.
%ean.hle# focus your attenton on ho. youEre &on& to
try to .a+e up .thout mo)n& your physcal body. Ths snEt
mandatory# but t .ll substantally ncrease the effect)eness
of the ndrect techn8ues.
7o.# sleep for ! to 4 hours# but ta+e ad)anta&e of
natural a.a+enn&s that occur durn& ths perod of tme. They
.ll happen much more often than usual. Dfter each attempt 4

sn&le mornn&. 2p to a 8uarter of those attempts .ll be
successful# e)en for no)ces (=" to ?9; of them .ll be
successful for e1perenced practtoners).
STEP 3: SEPARATE THE INSTANT YO/ AWA6EN
Each tme you .a+e up a&an# try not to mo)e or open
your eyes. 0nstead# mmedately try to separate from your
body. 2p to 9"; of success .th ndrect techn8ues comes
durn& ths smple frst step 4 one that s so smple that people
donEt e)en suspect that t could .or+.
0n order to separate from your body# smply try to stand
up# roll out# or le)tate. Try to do t .th your o.n perce)ed
(.e. subtle) body# but .thout mo)n& your physcal muscles.
Remember that t .ll feel 6ust l+e normal physcal
mo)ement. @hen the moment comes# donEt thn+ too hard

a.a+enn&# stubbornly try to separate from your body any
.ay that you can and no matter .hat. %ost l+ely# youEll
ntut)ely +no. ho. to do t. The most mportant thn& s not
to thn+ too hard and not to lose those frst seconds of
a.a+enn&.
Interesting Fact!
5uring the second lesson at School of
Out-of-Body Travel seinars, participants
are asked to e4plain in their own words how
they were able to separate, but without
using the words 6easily7, 6siply7, or 6as
usual7. They are usually always unable to
coply with this re0uest, as separation
nearly always occurs for the 6easily7,
6siply7 and 6as usual7 when the oent
is right.

e)en sl&ht sensaton of rotaton arses# focus your attenton
on ths techn8ue and rotate e)en more ener&etcally. Ds soon
as the sensaton of rotatn& becomes stable and real# you
should try to separate a&an usn& t as a startn& pont.
S(i))er tec&i0ue
For : to 9 seconds# try to ma&ne as decdedly as

sensaton of s.mmn& arses. 0nstead# ntensfy the
sensatons that arse. Dfter.ards# the real sensaton of
s.mmn& n .ater .ll come to you. ThatEs already the phase
4 and thereEs no need for separaton .hen youEre already n
the phase. Bo.e)er# f such sensatons occur .hle youEre n
bed nstead of a body of .ater# then you .ll need to employ
a separaton techn8ue. 2se the s.mmn& sensatons as a

techn8ue as a start4off pont.
P&ato) (i11li1
Try to .&&le your perce)ed hands or feet for : to 9
seconds. Go not mo)e a muscle under any crcumstances# and
do not ma&ne the mo)ement tself. For e1ample# try to

Once you can mo)e by at least 4 nches# mmedately try to
separate from your body startn& off from the sensatons
arsn& from the techn8ue.

bet.een ! to : techn8ues for : to 9 seconds each. Ths leads
to ndrect techn8ues cycles# .here the practtoner alternates

one techn8ue after another o)er the course of a mnute n
search of the one that .or+s. 0t s )ery mportant to do no
less than 4 cycles of ! to : techn8ues durn& an attempt.
Remember 4 e)en f a techn8ue doesnEt .or+ mmedately#

Interesting Fact!
At a School of Out-of-Body Travel
seinar, a novice was able to leave his
body for the first tie in his life in 8 of 1
attepts upon awakening the very first
orning.
E)en the most unsuccessful attempt should last no
lon&er than a mnute. 0f nothn& happens o)er that perod of

P4AN OF A,TION IN THE PHASE
Before entern& the phase# you should clearly outlne
.hat you are &on& to do there mmedately after separaton.

For your frst phase# be sure to set yourself the &oal of

should specfcally pro&ram yourself to do ths act)ty# as t
.ll substantally facltate your frst steps n con8uern& the
phase. Aou may then complete other tems on your plan of
acton and ne)er return to the mrror a&an.
0f your sensatons n the phase are dull (.e. poor s&ht or
numbed bodly sensatons)# try to touch e)erythn& around
you act)ely and scrutn,e the mnute detals of ob6ects from
up4close. Ths .ll allo. you to ha)e a more realstc
e1perence. The same act)tes should be performed n order
to mantan the phase .hen the frst symptoms of a return to
the body occur (for e1ample# .hen e)erythn& becomes dm).
Returnn& to the body s somethn& you neednEt .orry

seinars, the ain task consists not in
e4plaining the proper procedure, but erely
in getting participants to follow it to-the-
letter. (ven if that goal is only half-way
accoplished, success is inevitable.

- 4ack o" a11re!!io
A desire to get a techni0ue to work no atter
what and really get into it is the ain criterion for
success in eploying the indirect techni0ue procedure.
%eanwhile, deterination should not be superficial, but
intensely focused on the actions to be copleted. !ack
of deterination can also anifest itself in passively
falling asleep during an attept.

cycles of techni0ues, assuing none have worked so
far. @ot following this siple rule will scuttle ore than
half of your opportunities to enter the phase.
- /ece!!ar' ,&a1e o" Tec&i0ue
5espite the clear instructions given, novices will
stubbornly switch techni0ues after B to 3 seconds, even
when a techni0ue has started working in one way or
another. This is a serious error. /f a techni0ue has
started working - however so slightly - you need to
keep with it and try to intensify it in any way possible.
- /ece!!ar' ,otiuatio o" a Tec&i0ue
/f a techni0ue hasn>t begun working in the least
after B to 3 seconds, it should be changed for another.
The point of cycling is to 0uickly alternate between
techni0ues until one of the starts working.
- For1etti1 to Se*arate
<hen any techni0ue starts working upon
awakening - no atter to what degree - the
practitioner is nearly always already in the phase, and
is siply lying on his body while in it. That>s why you
should always try to separate iediately upon there
being stable signs that a techni0ue is working. /f that
doesn>t work out, then you need to return to
intensifying the techni0ue and try to separate again. /f
you don>t use the first seconds of a techni0ue working,
then the phase usually ends 0uite 0uickly and the
necessary state goes away. 5on>t lie in your body while
in the phase#
- E+ce!!i#e Aal'!i!
/f you analyCe what>s going on when cycling
through techni0ues upon awakening, then you are not
concentrated on the techni0ues theselves and are
sidetracking yourself. This will cause you to iss nearly
all chances of obtaining results. The desire to
e4perience the techni0ue working should fully consue
you, leaving no place in the ind for analysis or
conteplation.

- E+ce!!i#el' Alert A(akei1 =o Atte)*t or a
Slu11i!& Oe>
5ue to the perception of an e4cessively alert
awakening (which will be not actually be alert, but only
see to be fro D- to .-2 of the tie$ the
practitioner will either forgo trying anything, or will
ake attepts 0uite unassuredly, which is e0uivalent
to not trying at all. Eou ought to follow the instructions
autoatically, and not pay attention to such
perceptions upon awakening.
- Atte)*ti1 "or 4o1er t&a a $iute
/f no result is obtained after one inute of cycling,
then your odds of success will be uch greater if you
go back to sleep right away and catch the ne4t
awakening in order to ake a new attept, as opposed
to stubbornly trying to continue on with the techni0ues.
- Ico)*lete Se*aratio
<hen attepting to separate, soeties it
doesn>t coe easily or copletely. Sluggishness, stuck
body parts, and being stuck in two bodies at once are
soe things that ay occur. @ever give up under any
circustances and do not stop separating if this
happens. 'ull separation will occur if you counteract
such probles with all your strength.
- Not Reco1i9i1 t&e P&a!e
=ractitioners often enter the phase but then return
back to the body because they feel that what occurred
is not what they had e4pected. 'or e4aple, when
observing iages they are often pulled into the
scenery, or they are spontaneously thrown into another
world when rotating. =ractitioners often think that they
have to e4perience the feeling of separation itself,
which is why they ight return back to their bodies in
order to obtain it. The sae applies to becoing
conscious while dreaing, as the practitioner is already
in the phase and it only reains to deepen and
ipleent his plan of action.

- A(akei1 to $o#e)et =o Atte)*t or a Slu11i!&
Oe>
Awakening without oving is desirable, but not
andatory. There>s no sense in forgoing ost
opportunities by waiting for the right awakening. Eou
ust take advantage of every awakening that you can.
- Wa!ti1 t&e Fir!t Secod!
Try to develop the habit of iediately and
refle4ively proceeding to the techni0ues upon
awakening, without losing a second. The ore tie
that elapses between awakening and the attept itself,
the lower the odds of success. /t>s best to learn to
catch not so uch the very second of awakening, but
rather the transitional oent when 6surfacing7 fro
sleep. Separation is alost always successful during
that transitional oent.
- Selectio o" Sa)e-T'*e Tec&i0ue!
There>s no point in selecting techni0ues for your
practice that are siilar to one another or focused on
the sae sensation (when using techni0ues fro other
parts of this book$.
- /!e o" a Si1le Tec&i0ue
)ycling indirect techni0ues upon awakening is a
universal ethod that can work for anybody provided
they alternate several techni0ues. )opletely different
ethods ay work over different attepts. That>s why
using only a single techni0ue upon awakening instead
of cycling through at least two leads to substantially
lowered odds of entering the phase.
- Fal!e P&'!ical $o#e)et
Soeties separation is so indistinguishable fro
ordinary physical oveent that novices are unable to
believe their own success. They perceive separation as a
physical oveent and then disappointedly lie back
down into their body. /n such cases, one ought to
carefully evaluate the situation and possibly perfor
reality checks.

THE ESSEN,E OF THE PHASE PHENO$ENON
The term phase state (or smply phase) encompasses a
number of .dely +no.n dssocat)e phenomena# many of
.hch are referred to by )arous terms# such as astral tra)el
or out4of4body e1perence. Ths concept also ncludes the
more pra&matc term lucd dreamn&# but s not lmted to the
sense and form mpled by that e1presson. Bence# the term
phase has been ntroduced to ease the study of phenomena
that e1st beyond habtual K and often naccurate4
assocatons and stereotypes. The term out4of4body
e1perence s accurate to the e1tent that t descrbes the
sensaton felt by a person e1perencn& the phase
phenomenon.
A phase has two priary attributes? +.$ practitioners
possess full, conscious awareness during the e4perience, and
,.$ practitioners recogniCe a genuine separation fro the
physical body.
*multaneously# the de&ree to .hch practtoners
perce)e the phase en)ronment affects the le)el of sensory
e1perences theren# .hch often occur n a h&her form than
(Table of Contents)
175
the sensory e1perences of .a+efulness. Ths concept s
dffcult to ma&ne .thout frsthand e1perence of the phase.
Dnd so# t s not .thout reason that ths practce s
consdered to be a h&her state of self4hypnoss or medtaton#
and s often referred to under dfferent names as the h&hest
possble human ache)ement n )arous rel&ous and mystcal
mo)ements (yo&a# Buddhsm# etc.).
0n essence# the phase s an une1plored state of mnd
.here one s unable to control or feel the physcal body.
0nstead# space percepton s flled .th realstc phantom
e1perences.
Interesting Fact!
Sensations in the phase state can be
so realistic that practitioners who
unintentionally enter it often believe they
are still in the physical body, and that the
e4perience is occurring in the waking state.
These types of unintended e4cursions ost
often occur at night or early in the orning.

There are many reasons to classfy lucd dreamn& (.e.
dream conscousness) to&ether .th out4of4body tra)el. Ths
s not only because e1stn& research and a mass)e number
of peoplesE e1perences easly pro)e t. There are a number of
8uestons that adherents of d)dn& phase phenomena nto

Interesting Fact!
/f one believes that it is necessary to
position one"s bed with the headboard
facing the northwest or soe other
direction in order to have ore effective
out-of-body e4periences, then doing so will
invariably have a positive effect on results.
Gowever, the issue at hand is not the
positioning of the body, but a belief that is
akin to an intention, which in turn is
enorously iportant.
0t has been obser)ed that a re&ular and orderly lfestyle
ncreases the fre8uency of &enune# lastn& phase

having to do with this phenoenon, he>s better off forgetting
about it or at least putting it aside for now. And that blank
slate should be carefully and e4actly inscribed with these
instructions, which have been proven to work by thousands
across the globe.
D number of practces and pastmes ha)e been found to
ha)e a post)e effect on the practce of out4of4body tra)el.
Sports help one learn to focus on &oals# push oneself# and
o)ercome .ea+nesses. The practce of stopping internal
dialog allo.s one to concentrate ntensely and a)od needless

allo. one to learn to concentrate# as .ell as ha)e control o)er

ener&es and enthusasm by ta+n& up an e1cess)e number of
practces at once. That usually leads to o)erall lac+ of results.
There should be no neurotcsm or obsess)eness n

TYPES OF TE,HNIQ/ES
There are three prmary types of techn8ues that ma+e t
possble to enter the phase: direct# indirect and drea
consciousness. These methods are performed .hle lyn&
do.n or reclnn&# eyes closed# and the body n a state of total
rela1aton.
Interesting Fact!
Often, people have an out-of-body
e4perience without prior knowledge or belief
in the phenoenon. /t ;ust happens, and a
large body of evidence has been gathered
to support this fact. (ven ore interesting
is that spontaneous e4periences often occur
after a brief study of aterial about the
topic, like this guidebook...

5irect techni0ues are perfored without any noticeable
lapse in consciousness. <hile practicing direct techni0ues, a
lapse into sleep for less than 3 inutes is not considered a
breach of the techni0ue.
By defnton# drect techn8ues encompass the
performance of specfc actons for a pre4defned nter)al of
tme. *uccessfully appled# drect methods result n a phase
entrance .thout passn& throu&h any ntermedary states.
For ?"; of the populaton# these techn8ues are the most
dffcult because the mnd naturally e1sts n an e1cess)ely
act)e state. 0t has been clearly pro)en .thn the *choolJs
student body that no)ce practtoners do not beneft from
be&nnn& a trann& re&men .th drect techn8ues. Ths s
because drect techn8ues re8ure a thorou&h understandn&
and masterful applcaton of ndrect techn8ues n order to be
effect)e. The ncorrect noton that the phase state s
e1tremely dffcult to enter s due to the fact that people are
more often dra.n to the more dffcult drect techn8ues. 0t s

al.ays better to approach drect techn8ues only after
becomn& e1pert n the use of ndrect techn8ues.

/ndirect techni0ues are techni0ues that are put into
practice upon awakening fro sleep.
The effect)eness of ndrect techn8ues s not dependent
on the len&th of the prere8uste sleep cycle. 0ndrect
techn8ues can be used .hle e1tn& a full n&htJs sleep# after
a daytme catnap# or follo.n& se)eral hours of deep sleep.
The most mportant thn& s that there s a lapse of
conscousness nto sleep before mplementn& the techn8ues.
0ndrect techn8ues are the easest techn8ues to
practce# .hch s .hy many practtoners use them to enter
the phase. *leep naturally pro)des the mnd .th deep
rela1aton# .hch s often dffcult to ac8ure by other
methods. *nce sleep s re8ured to perform ndrect
techn8ues# t s a con)enent# oft4occurrn& means to conduct
e1perments .th the phase. 7o)ce practtoners beneft
&reatly from the use of ndrect techn8ues# and learn
frsthand the possblty of phase entrance.

5rea consciousness is ac0uired by techni0ues that
allow entrance to the phase through what is coonly
referred to as lucid dreaing.
0n ths case# the phase be&ns .hen the a.areness that
a dream s occurrn& happens .thn the dream tself. Dfter

Interesting Fact!
Appro4iately +2 to B2 of the tie
that the phase is practiced, one realiCes
iediately upon awakening that one has
already separated. This eans that one
ay already go soewhere and stand, lie

actual awakening.

usn& the same sensatons of rotatn&# and .hen obser)n&

Dddtonally# tEs mportant not to completely return bac+
to the body f your phase creaton techn8ue n)ol)es the
sensaton of partal separaton from the body. For e1ample 4 f

The ost iportant thing is to iediately realiCe that
logically speaking, if indirect techni0ues have worked or
awakening has ;ust occurred, then the practitioner is already
in the phase. All of his sensations are no longer coing fro
his physical body, although it ay see that they do. All that
reains is to stand up, roll out, and levitate, as if doing so
with the physical body.
7o)ces and the ne1perenced often try to dsco)er

Types of 'hase Entrances (*eparatons) (sted by
*ensaton:
- Ordiar' )o#e)et
Gere, separation usually sees like a copletely
ordinary oveent, as if it were ade with the
physical body. The practitioner siply stands up, rolls
out, or levitates as if he were doing so in reality.
- Se*aratio
Actual direct separation of the subtle body fro
the physical one, as if the practitioner were actually
e4iting soething. 5espite the fact that this sensation
gave its nae to the entire process of entering the
phase (6separation7$, direct separation occurs 0uite
rarely and the ter is inaccurate in ters of sensation.
- Pulli1
A feeling of a ass of guy rubber stretching
fro every part of your subtle body and pulling it back
(Table of Contents)
212
into your physical one. 'orcefully overcoe that feeling
of being pulled in, and it will dissipate.
- Slu11i!&e!!
The subtle body becoes 0uite heavy, as if it
weighed several ties ore. The sluggishness will
dissipate in proportion to the counteracting force
applied.
- A(akei1 to Se*aratio
The practitioner awakens or surfaces fro a lapse
in consciousness in an already separated state, and
does not need to separate or use a phase creation
techni0ue. Siply get up and go forth.
- Stuck .od' Part!
Soe parts of the subtle body can becoe stuck
in a physical stencil during the process of separation.
'or e4aple, this often occurs with the legs, trunk,
head, and pelvis. /n such situations you need to fully
break free with all your ight by changing the direction
of your e4ertion.
- .ei1 i T(o .odie! at Oce
A feeling arises of not really being in the phase
and not really lying in bed, but of truly being in the
phase and also truly lying in bed at the sae tie. Eou
need to try to press on through with the situation,
transferring all of your sensations into your phase
body, which will becoe the only one perceived.
- S*otaeou! Full Se*aratio =W&e Per"or)i1
Tec&i0ue!>
<hen perforing any techni0ue, you ay
spontaneously find yourself having already fully
separated into your roo or into any other place in the
phase. There>s no need to return back into your
physical body in order to 6properly7 separate.
- .ei1 Pulled Out b' So)eoe or So)et&i1
/n this case, separation occurs not fully by one>s
own will, but due to help fro a phase ob;ect. 'or
e4aple, soeone starts pulling at your legs or lifting
(Table of Contents)
213
up your entire body. The iportant thing in this
situation is not to rela4, but to start oving on your
own as soon as possible. Such a situation often occurs
with so-called 6Ialien abductions7, which are actually
spontaneous and unrecogniCed phase e4periences the
a;ority of the tie.
- Suctio
<hen perforing techni0ues like observing
iages or visualiCation, practitioners are often
copletely sucked in to the iagery being observed,
with all the accopanying sensations. This iagery
then becoes a full-fledged phase space of its own.
There>s no need to return back into your physical body
in order to 6properly7 separate.
- Putti1 Your All ito a Tec&i0ue
<hen perforing sensory-otor visualiCation and
several other techni0ues, a convergence between
separation and the techni0ue itself occurs. This leads to
there no longer being a need for separation in the
traditional sense. 'or e4aple, during sensory-otor
visualiCation, the practitioner initially begins by actively
iagining that he is walking about a roo, but that
iagined perception gradually orphs into the real
sensation of actually being in the roo. %eanwhile,
when phanto wiggling it only reains to stand up
fro the body in which wiggling is felt, and so on.
There>s no need to return back to the physical body in
order to separate 6properly7.
- Drea) ,o!ciou!e!!
Becoing fully consciousness while dreaing with
full cogniCance of what is occurring is also a separate
phase entrance ethod, but one that does not involve
direct or indirect techni0ues. There>s no need to return
back to the body in order to separate 6properly7,
although any do so in order to obtain ore vivid
sensations.

There e4ists a belief that the

practically unattainable, and is accessible
only to an elect few through practices that
re0uire secret knowledge. Gowever, the
greatest difficulty when trying to e4perience
out-of-body travel in a short period of tie
lies only in iediately reebering about
the techni0ues upon awakening without
oving. This is all siple and
straightforward. But it is precisely this trifle
that is the largest stubling block when
trying to e4perience such an uncoon
phenoenon.
Ths s not dffcult at all for appro1mately =9; of the

'or soe practitioners having trouble

separating without using any techni0ues is
an unwillingness to 6bang their heads

0t s benefcal to e1amne the reason behnd the use of a

that the body often reacts to techn8ues n )ery pecular
.ays. For one person# a techn8ue may .or+ one day and not

repertore should consst of se)eral techn8ues.
Interesting Fact!
Soeties, the first techni0ue that works for
a practitioner never results in a repeat of phase
entrance again, although other techni0ues that
were not iediately effective at the novice
stages of practice later begin to work regularly
and successfully.
0t s also mportant to understand that the techn8ues

5uring initial attepts at using cycles of indirect
techni0ues, the proble of confusion during a critical oent
ay arise, when a novice practitioner suddenly forgets
e4actly what to do and how to do it. This is noral, and the
solution is to iediately do whatever coes to ind.
&esults can be achieved in this anner. <hen a practitioner
is ore rela4ed about the practice, such probles will no

HINTS FRO$ THE $IND
Vared cycles of ndrect techn8ues s an almost
mandatory precondton for &ettn& the best result. There are
some e1ceptons. *ometmes# throu&h ndrect ndcators# a

re&ardless of .hat had been planned. These are a sort of hnt
from the body and the ablty to use such cues plays an
e1tremely mportant role n the use of ndrect techn8ues
because they enable a practtoner to substantally ncrease

possesses an aggressive desire to enter the phase. %ore
often than not, practitioners lack aggressive desire, instead of
having too uch of it. Thus, each effort re0uires a distinct
want to succeed.
THE .ER$/DA TRIANG4E OF ATTE$PTS
*uccess at entern& the phase depends on t.o factors:
8uantty and 8ualty of attempts. Dccordn&ly# the &reater the
8uantty of h&h48ualty attempts# the &reater the odds of
ha)n& a phase e1perence. Bo.e)er# practcally all
practtoners encounter certan psycholo&cal dffcultes that
depr)e them of :" to =9; of all attempts. That s# phasers
often e1perence only half of .hat they could due to certan
patterns of thou&ht.
Ths manly occurs durn& t.o common stuatons n
.hch practtoners smply lose all desre to e)en try: a)
e1cess)ely alert a.a+enn& b) a.a+enn& to physcal
mo)ement. E)en f a phaser suddenly decdes to &)e t a try
n such stuatons# hs attempts are understandably performed
.a)ern&ly and poorly# .hch s e8u)alent to not tryn& at all.
Bo.e)er# n the absolute ma6orty of such cases# no attempt
s e)en made.
The hlarty of the stuaton conssts n the probable
falseness of the sensatons of both e1cess)ely alert
a.a+enn& and a.a+enn& to physcal mo)ement. For
e1ample# the thou&ht# C0 .o+e up .ay too alertly# nothn&Es
&on& to .or+ no.C s usually mmedately follo.ed by falln&
bac+ asleep. Bo.e)er# a substantal porton of mo)ements

are made .th the physcal body. But e)en f there s an
actual alert a.a+enn& and actual physcal mo)ement# the

follo. ths smple prncple alone may en6oy t.ce as many

Bo.e)er# mndfulness of ths prncple alone s often
nsuffcent to compensate for psycholo&cal certanty that
nothn& .ll .or+ durn& a specfc attempt. 0n order to sol)e
ths problem# one may use one a most effect)e psycholo&cal
trc+ based on self4decepton. 0f t seems to the practtoner
that there s no sense n ma+n& an attempt as nothn& .ll

0t should also be noted that a phaser .ll often lose out
on an attempt throu&h the belef that he has to catch the
r&ht moment of ben& half4a.a+e. %any thn+ that catchn&
that moment s a mandatory prere8uste for the ndrect

Ths s to be employed smultaneously .th all ndrect

0t s also .orth al.ays +eepn& n mnd the a)era&e

Sualty of the phase e1perence s not dependent upon

dfferences here. Frst of all# one may nterrupt oneJs sleep at
practcally anytme of the n&ht or early mornn&. *econd#
after ha)n& .o+en up (94$9 mn.)# one should not fall bac+
asleep# but should mmedately proceed to the techn8ues.
Grect techn8ues are many tmes more effect)e .th
the deferred method than at any other tme. Ths s due to
the fact that .th the deferred method# the mnd does not
ha)e tme to become $""; alert# and t s easy to fall nto the
altered state of conscousness that .ll allo. results.

The prmary practcal dra.bac+ of the free4floatn& state
of mnd s the possblty of falln& completely asleep durn&
lapses nstead of only temporarly dppn& nto sleep.
Techn8ues are defntely necessary to ensure the desred
result. *uch techn8ues more or less fulfll an au1lary
functon# and thus one need not be strct about them.
Interesting Fact!
/t does not atter which direct
techni0ue is usedH as long as it leads to
lapses in consciousness, success is possible.

@hen performn& the )aratons of the techn8ues# a
practtoner can be&n to )acllate bet.een full alertness and
complete asleep# comn& to# and then noddn& off a&an.
To a)od falln& asleep re8ures a stron& desre to return
to .a+efulness. Ths s accomplshed by a stron& resol)e on
the part of the practtoner# e)en f# .hle performn& a drect
techn8ue# drftn& n and out of sleep occurs. The practtoner
must frmly assert that at the moment conscousness tapers
off# a.a+enn& .ll mmedately occur.
On the other hand# f lapses do not occur# and are
replaced by complete alertness# the follo.n& trc+s of the
trade may help: full concentraton on mental actons or#
con)ersely# musn& and daydreamn& n parallel .th the
techn8ue ben& used. 0t should be noted that these are only
effect)e at the ntal sta&es of .or+n& .th drect techn8ues
snce such techn8ues ha)e a stron& sleep4nducn& effect.
0f drect techn8ues do not lead to l&ht sleep or sn&ular
lapses after a lon& perod of re&ular practce# then t must be
assumed that the practtoner s dealn& .th some
apprecable error n techn8ue or n the len&th of
performance.
The number of lapses that occur may be re&ulated by
body poston durn& practce or by chan&n& the )araton
used .hle performn& techn8ues.

Entern& the phase .th a free4floatn& state of mnd
most often occurs as the result of three +ey factors. Frst# one
techn8ue or another may be&n to .or+ .ell durn& a lapse.
*econd# nearness to the phase may une1pectedly manfest
tself throu&h sounds or )braton after a lapse. Gurn& ths#
transtonn& to techn8ues that correspond to the abo)e
symptoms (lstenn& n# strann& the bran) may be appled.
Thrd# .hen e1tn& a lapse# t s sometmes easy to separate
or 8uc+ly fnd a .or+n& techn8ue by payn& attenton to
ntal ndcators.
Interesting Fact!
There is a theory that there is no such
thing as a direct phase entrance ethod,
and that all direct ethods are actually a
subcategory of the indirect ethod. The
only difference would be that direct
techni0ues involve inducing icro-sleep,
which authentically iics falling asleep,
creating a physiological state closer to
natural awakening, when it is easy to enter
the phase.
(apses n conscousness are not bound to occur n $"";
of cases. Bo.e)er# str)n& to ache)e lapses plays a )ery
mportant role snce they are not al.ays perce)able# and a
lapse occurrence s not al.ays ob)ous. They can be )ery
short n duraton or shallo.. Or# they may not occur at all.
7onetheless# properly appled techn8ues to produce lapses
may &)e entrance to the phase. Ths s especally true of the
deferred method for drect phase entrance. 0t s also .orth
notn& that lapses n conscousness can be so shallo. and
bref that a phaser may smply be unable to reco&n,e them.

Interesting Fact!
'or ost practitioners, a key piece of
advice is to let go of a burning desire to
enter the phase no atter what when using
the direct ethod.
ThatEs .hy there should be an element of nner stllness
and ndfference to the end result before be&nnn& an
attempt# let alone durn& t. Aou need to let &o of tryn& to

fnd e1presson n e1cess)e desre or control o)er the

2ntl a practtoner learns to ha)e stllness n hs

to obtan any real practcal e1perence. 0n the best case# only
one attempt n ffty .ll result n the phase# e)en thou&h most
of hs attempts could ha)e met .th success. 0tEs enou&h to
consder that all ad)anced users of the drect techn8ue

Dnaly,n& a typcal e1ample of ho. the drect techn8ue
can .or+ should ma+e the stuaton clearer: say someone
accdentally descrbed the drect techn8ues r&ht a.ay .hen

cra)es results so much that hs body s physolo&cally unable

2sn& drect techn8ues n the e)enn& or n the mddle of
the n&ht ta+e ad)anta&e of the bodyJs natural state of fat&ue
and for practcal purposes ths natural tredness may be
amplfed. For e1ample# drect techn8ues more easly lead to
success f the practtoner s consderably sleep4depr)ed.
%oreo)er# n such a state# nducn& a free4floatn& state of

must select a more act)e techn8ue )araton than usual.
The abo)e not.thstandn&# factors such as fat&ue and

The drect techn8ues# after all# should only be
performed .hen n a normal physolo&cal state# and .th
en6oyment. D practtoner should ta+e pleasure n the )ery
process of usn& the method# and not re&ard t as a tresome

a practtoner should perform hs fa)orte techn8ues .hen
heEs most n the mood for them. The phase should ne)er be

THE ,ON,EPT OF TE,HNIQ/ES INBO4BING .E,O$ING
,ONS,IO/S WHI4E DREA$ING
The techni0ues for phase entrance via becoing
conscious while dreaing are based on reaching
consciousness and self-awareness during a drea, which,
regardless of drea 0uality, can be transitioned into a fully
realiCed phase e4perience. Contrary to popular opnon#
ha)n& an out4of4body e1perence throu&h dreamn& dffers
lttle from other techn8ues. The outcome s stll cate&or,ed
as a dssocat)e e1perence: ben& fully conscous .hle
remo)ed from the percepton of a physcal body.
The realsm of a phase nduced throu&h becomn&
conscous n a dream does not dffer from phases entered
usn& other techn8ues# and# .hen deepened# the phase offers
more ))d and lucd e1perences than those of e)eryday lfe.
0f a practtoner becomes a.are of a dream .hle n t
(usually accompaned by a clear real,aton that t s 36ust a
dream5)# then the phase s e1perenced from that moment
for.ard.
Be&nners often confuse the noton of becomn&
conscous .hle dreamn& .th nduced dreamn&. Dn nduced
dream s the dream of a specfc topc# pro)o+ed on demandH
ths does not presuppose conscousness. %oreo)er# not all
practtoners clearly understand .hat t means to be fully
conscous .hle dreamn&. Conscousness .hle dreamn& s
al.ays present to some e1tent# but t s necessary to be as
(Table of Contents)
267
conscous as one .ould be n a .a+eful state. D.areness s
not possble as lon& as the plot of the dream contnues. @hen
full understandn& occurs that e)erythn& around s 6ust a
dream# a person drops the dream and starts don& only .hat
he .ants to do at that )ery moment. Dnd after a.a+enn&# he
should not thn+ that .hat happened .as absurd or
une1planable.
Gurn& the process of becomn& conscous n a dream# a
practtonerJs actons must be completely subordnated to the
desre to e1perence a 8ualty phase. Ths s .hy# upon
becomn& conscous n a dream# proceedn& to techn8ues
related to deepenn& and mantann& s crucal.
Techn8ues for becomn& conscous n a dream dffer
)ery much n nature from other techn8ues# and there are
&ood reasons .hy these methods are dfferentated from
other practces# l+e so4called astral pro;ection or out-of-body
e4perience (OBE). Bo.e)er# ther characterstcs dffer )ery
lttle n terms of results.
The techn8ue4related peculartes rest n the fact that
specfc actons are not re8ured to produce mmedate#
concrete results. Dll techn8ue4related elements are
performed outsde of .hen conscousness .hle dreamn&
occurs. Ths s because t s mpossble to ta+e some acton f
you are not conscous and do not real,e that you are
dreamn&. Dll efforts are drected at ma+n& that )ery
real,aton someho. occur.
Interesting Fact!
(ven if a practitioner pays no heed to
the techni0ues for becoing conscious
while dreaing, but applies direct or
indirect techni0ues, on average each third
phase will still occur through becoing
conscious in a drea. This has been
statistically proven at seinars of the
School of Out-of-Body Travel.

%any str)e to ache)e conscousness durn& each dream
o)er the course of an entre n&htH ho.e)er# ths s rarely
possble due to physolo&cal barrers. There s a &ood reason
that sleep and dreams are an mportant part of a human lfe.
There s an mportant need to s.tch off not only body# but
also conscousness# so that t may unconscously sft and
process the )ast )olume of nformaton obtaned n e)eryday
lfe.
The tmeframe for ache)n& conscous dreamn& s )ery
dffcult to estmate due to the nature of re8ured actons.
0ntensty and ntenton defntely e1ert hea)y nfluence. D
practtoner may become conscous n a dream .hen frst
lapsn& nto sleep# re&ardless of .hen t occurs. Or# .th
re&ular attempts# ths could happen n t.o .ee+s to a month.
7e)ertheless# these techn8ues promse a much h&her
l+elhood of success than drect methods# and can be
compared .th ndrect techn8ues 4 nferor to the latter only
n terms of the speed at .hch results are ache)ed and the
amount of effort re8ured.
Techn8ues used to attan dream conscousness should
not be combned .th other types of techn8ues. 0t s better to
focus on one thn& at a tme. /nterestingly, when a techni0ue
is practiced on a regular basis, there is nearly a +--2
guarantee that drea consciousness will spontaneously
occur. A practitioner ust know how to react when this
happens.

FOR ENTERING THE PHASE
@on-autonoous ethods of entering the phase are
various types of e4ternal influences that are able to help put
a practitioner into the phase state. Computer pro&rams#

chemcal substances are e1amples of non4autonomous
methods. 0n rare cases# these methods actually help# .hle

been mastered autonomously# then results throu&h the use of

The reason behnd the .ea+ effect)eness of non4
autonomous methods of phase entrance rests n the fact that
the physolo&cal process responsble for the phase e1perence
cannot be e1actly defned. Only &eneraltes are +no.n#

Of all non4autonomous assstance methods# cuen&
technolo&es yeld the best results. The operatn& prncple
behnd cuen& technolo&es s 8ute smple: a de)ce detects
rapd eye mo)ement (RE%) and sends s&nals to a sleepn&

.hle sleepn& .th the &oal of phase entry throu&h dream

The effect)eness of RE%4detectn& de)ces s more
plausble n theory than n practce. The mnd 8uc+ly de)elops
a tolerance for these types of e1ternal stmul and stops
reactn&# and# as a result# such technolo&es are hardly used
more than one or t.o n&hts per .ee+. *econdly# a

WOR6ING IN PAIRS

@or+n& n pars s consdered the second most effect)e

practtoner s to be the act)e one# and the other flls the role
of helper. The act)e practtoner attempts to enter the phase
.hle the helper pro)des )arous types of support to ths end.
For e1ample# the act)e practtoner les do.n n bed

The act)e practtoner should detect the s&nals .thout

TE,HNO4OGIES FOR IND/,ING THE PHASE
The ambton to create a de)ce that facltates 8uc+ and
easy phase entrance has led to the appearance of assorted
technolo&es that clam to fulfll such a role. Ds already stated#
none of these de)ces has been pro)en effect)e.
The most famous of these s the Bem4*ync system#
.hch purports to synchron,e the t.o hemspheres of the
bran. Bem4*ync .as de)eloped by Robert %onroe# an
Dmercan esotercsm e1pert and researcher. The dea behnd
Bem4*ync s that out4of4body sensatons may be nduced by
ache)n& synchron,aton of the branJs t.o hemspheres.
Bo.e)er# ths type of approach yelds a parado1 for the lac+
of scentfc (or pseudo4scentfc) e)dence that hemspherc
synchron,aton nfluences sensory percepton. Dctually# t s
the cerebral corte1 and consttuents that are prmarly
responsble for sensory percepton. Dt the be&nnn& of the
!"th century# t became clear that the +ey roles n sensory
processes are played by )aryn& le)els of nhbton and
act)ty n the cerebral corte1. *ynchron,aton de)ces ha)e
no effect on the operaton of the cerebral corte1.
The dea of usn& sounds of )arous fre8uences to nduce
a specfc le)el of electrcal act)ty n the bran s# so far#
consdered mpossble. Thus# the sounds and noses used to
assst separaton from the body cannot drectly affect the
process# but merely ser)e as cuen& s&nals. *uch a system
.or+s only after ha)n& been used for a lon& tme# f t .or+s
at all. %oreo)er# t m&ht only .or+ once or t.ce. 2sually# t
ne)er .or+s at all. 7e)ertheless# synchron,aton systems are
able to help practtoners reach a free floatn& state of
conscousness snce the systems pre)ent sleep or nduce
.a+efulness# pro)dn& fertle &round for drect phase entry.
The dea of nducn& )arous phase states throu&h sound
has &aned .de attenton. %any other pro&rams and
technolo&es ha)e appeared as a result# ncludn&# for
e1ample# the Bran @a)e Fenerator (B@F)# .hch allo.s the
(Table of Contents)
283
practtoner to ndependently e1perment .th a .de array of
sounds and fre8uences and )arous methods of transmsson.
The effect s the same: cuen& durn& sleep or the
mantenance of a transtonal state. Thus# there s no
notceable dfference bet.een usn& machnes and lstenn& to
smlar sounds or muscal compostons.
0nasmuch as the de)ces descrbed abo)e ha)e not
del)ered notable result# the search for ne. technolo&es
contnues unhndered. The number of deas for e1ertn&
nonn)as)e nfluence o)er the bran and ts consttuent parts
s ncreasn&. For e1ample# there s a theory that phase
e1perences may be nduced by electroma&netcally
stmulatn& the left an&ular &yrus. Bo.e)er# ths# l+e all other
non4autonomous methods# s strctly based on theory. Dt
present# consstent# focused# and unasssted practce s the
smplest and only &uaranteed means to ache)n& phase
entrance.
HYPNOSIS AND S/GGESTION
Bypnoss s a lttle4studed method of entern& the
phase. The dea s that a hypnotst s able to cause a person
to enter the phase throu&h su&&eston or affrmaton. There s
no doubt that hypnoss s an nterestn& concept# especally
for persons .ho easly yeld to po.er of su&&eston. Bo.e)er#
such nd)duals account for only $; of the populaton.
Gue to specfc characterstcs of human percepton# the
chances are nl that hypnoss s a l+ely condut to phase
entrance. *o# t seems unl+ely that hypnotc techn8ues .ll
become .ell4+no.n# or that a top4notch hypnotst .ould#
throu&h su&&eston# easly be able to lead a sub6ect drectly
nto the phase.
Bo.e)er# t s completely feasble that hypnotc

PHYSIO4OGI,A4 SIGNA4S

THE ,ON,EPT OF DEEPENING
5eepening refers to techni0ues that induce realistic
perception and awareness in the phase state.
The phase s not an e1act# f1ed state .here a
practtoner s ether present or not. 0t s a realm of states
character,ed by a transton from the usual percepton of the
physcal body to a complete alenaton from t# .hle
mantann& conscousness and realty of percepton# albet n
a dfferent frame of space. The transton be&ns .th
percepton of the natural# physcal body follo.ed by a
moment of amb&uty .here a clear e1perence of body s
ntermn&led .th a sense of the perce)ed body. Dfter.ard#
the perce)ed body enters the phase space# .hle the physcal
body becomes a memory. Dt ths pont# the perce)ed senses
may be 8ute dullH for e1ample# )son may be blurred or
completely absent. Geepenn& techn8ues sol)e the problem
of dmnshed or absent sensory percepton n the phase.
*ensory e1perences .thn a fully real,ed phase
e1perence are as realstc as those n e)eryday realty. 0n
almost one4half of all cases# practtoners obser)e that realty4
based surroundn&s pale n comparson to the )brant detal

and color of the phase space. To ths end# after entern& the
phase# a practtoner must perform deepenn& techn8ues to
enhance and soldfy the de&ree and 8ualty of phase realty.
Full spatal percepton n the phase only occurs after
deepenn& techn8ues ha)e been appled. There .ould be no
pont to remann& n the phase .thout deepenn&. For
e1ample# .hat s the pont n fndn& a person n phase# f t s
not e)en possble to dscern hs or her eyes thereL
/n a considerable nuber of cases, deepening is not
necessary, since the phase e4perience is copletely realistic,
if not hyper-realistic. /n cases like these, deepening ay be
bypassed.
Geepenn& s also related to the len&th of tme a
practtoner may reman n the phase. 0f an acton s ta+en
.thout a deep# realstc phase# the e1perence .ll al.ays be
se)eral tmes shorter n duraton than a phase .here
deepenn& techn8ues had been appled. The propertes of the
phase space )ery much depend on ts depth. @hen
surroundn&s are blurry and unclear# the stablty of ob6ects s
)ery .ea+.
There s a drect correlaton bet.een the realsm of a
phase and a practtonerJs le)el of a.areness# so t s
e1tremely mportant to ensure a deep phase n order to
promote ma1mum a.areness.
(Table of Contents)
294
Interesting Fact!
The realis of a deep phase space is
often so great that it causes uncontrollable
fear or shock.

Geepenn& should only be performed follo.n& complete
separaton from the body. 0f ntated before separaton# the
phase may end prematurely. 0f complete separaton does not
occur# prmary deepenn& should be used. Ds re&ards the
deepenn& techn8ues themsel)es# there s one man one and
there are se)eral subsdary ones. The man techn8ue# .hch
does not present any dffcultes# s suffcent for ha)n& a
successful practce.
Interesting Fact!
/gnorance of deepening techni0ues has
led to a great nuber of baseless theories
and superstitions. Soe practices treat
differing phase depths as various states and

even worlds. /n reality, there are siple
actions that ensure a singular phase

ob6ect)es: complete separaton from the physcal body and

@hen separaton from the body occurs throu&h the use
of a separaton techn8ue# a posture must be assumed that s
completely dfferent from the posture of the real# physcal

DEEPENING THRO/GH SENSORY A$P4IFI,ATION
The more a phase s e1perenced by the sensory
facultes# the deeper and lon&er the phase .ll be. *ensory
amplfcaton n the phase s the most effect)e deepenn&
techn8ue precsely because t allo.s the act)aton of prmary
nternal sensatons durn& the transton from realty to the
phase. There are se)eral .ays to perform sensory
amplfcaton.
=alpation s the frst deepenn& techn8ue that should be
recalled .hen entern& the phase.
Vson may be absent at the be&nnn& of a phase
e1perence# but the sensaton of occupyn& a defned space s
almost al.ays present. 0n the case of a completely absent
sense of s&ht# only tactle4+nesthetc percepton s possble.
That s# mo)ement throu&hout a space and touchn& ob6ects
there s the only opton .hen )son s absent. The sense of
touch plays a +ey role n the percepton of e)eryday realty.
Ths s elo8uently demonstrated by 'enfeldEs cortcal
homunculus featurn& the parts of the body that correspond

297
to cortces of the bran responsble for ther operaton. 0t
demonstrates ho. our actual self4percepton s completely
dsproportonal to the s,e of parts of the body. Dccordn&ly# f
the sense of touch s act)ely used n the phase space# t s
only natural that the phase .ll deepen and reach ts
ma1mum potental.
'alpaton s performed by fleetn&ly touchn& anythn&
that may be found n the mmedate surroundn&s. Ths should
be done by 8uc+ly but carefully perce)n& the feel of
surfaces and shapes. Bands should not reman on a partcular
place for more than one second# remann& constantly n
moton to locate ne. ob6ects. The &oal of palpaton s to touch
and also to learn somethn& about encountered ob6ects or
shapes. For e1ample# f one feels a mu&# one may touch t not
only from the outsde# but also from the nsde. Once a
practtoner has rolled out of the body# the bed may be
touched# as .ell as the floor# the carpet# nearby .alls# or a
bedsde table.
(Table of Contents)
298
Dnother palpaton techn8ue s performed by rubbn& the
palms a&anst each other as f tryn& to .arm them on a cold
day. Blo.n& on the palms also produces sensatons that .ll
help deepen the phase. *nce tactle percepton of the .orld s
not lmted to the palms# the hands should be mo)ed o)er the
entre body .hle n the phase to e1cte and fully act)ate the
sense of touch.
Ds soon as palpaton be&ns# the feeln& that the phase s
deepenn& and becomn& f1ed soon follo.s. 2sually# t ta+es
f)e to $" seconds of palpaton e1ercses to reach the
ma1mum le)el of deepenn&. Dfter performn& ths techn8ue#
the pseudo4physcal sensatons .ll be ndstn&ushable from
those of e)eryday realty. 0f )son s absent on phase entry# t

=eering s the prmary techncal )araton of sensory
amplfcaton. Bo.e)er# t s not al.ays ntally accessble
snce t re8ures )son# .hch may be&n as absent n the
phase. Once )son appears or has been created usn& specal
techn8ues (see Chapter >)# peern& may be&n. The
effect)eness of ths techn8ue or&nates n the fact that
)son s the humanJs prmary nstrument of percepton.
Therefore# by e1ctn& )son to ts ma1mum potental .thn
the phase# t s possble to attan a fully mmers)e phase
state that s completely apart from normal realty.
'eern& should be done at a dstance of four to s1 nches

Siultaneous peering and palpation pro)de the
ma1mum possble deepenn& effect n the phase. Ths
method of sensory amplfcaton en&a&es the t.o most
mportant perceptons# thus the effect s t.ce &reater than
.hen the t.o actons are separately performed. 0f )son s
present n the phase# smultaneous peern& and palpaton s
an absolute necessty because t facltates &ood phase depth

The combnaton of palpaton and peern& must not only
be performed smultaneously# but also upon the same
ob6ects. For e1ample# a practtoner may loo+ at hs hands

*ensory amplfcaton comes ntut)ely .hen you
remember a smple rule: f some sensatons are lac+n& or f
one of the f)e senses s dull and )a&ue# then that sense
needs to be he&htened as much as possble usn& the phase

a4iu aount of tie possible. @thout +no.led&e of
3mantann&5 techn8ues# the duraton of the phase .ll be
se)eral tmes shorter than t could other.se be. The shortest

'hase mantenance conssts of three prmary prncples:
resstn& a return to the .a+eful state (+no.n as a foul)#
resstn& falln& asleep# and resstn& a false e1t from the
phase.
Resstance to returnn& to the body s self4e1planatory#
.hereas resstance to falln& asleep s unclear to many. 7ot
e)eryone +no.s that almost half of phase e1perences usually
end n a 8ute tr)al .ay 4 falln& asleep. D person usually
loses attent)eness# hs or her a.areness dsspates# and
e)erythn& around &radually loses clarty and turns nto .hat
s for all ntents and purposes a usual dream.
Resstn& a false e1t from the phase (false a.a+enn&s)
s a lot more surprsn& and dramatc. *ometmes a
practtoner detects an mpendn& e1t from the phase and
subse8uent deepenn& techn8ues fal to .or+# resultn& n
.hat seems to be a return to the body and physcal realty.
*ure that the phase has ended# a practtoner may stand up
and then fall asleep after perce)n& a fe. steps. 0n such
cases# falln& asleep most often happens .thout any
mo)ement# but .hle stll lyn& n bed. The problem s that the
dfference bet.een the phase and realty can be so subtle that
n terms of nternal or e1ternal ndcators# the phase
practcally canJt be dstn&ushed from realty. Therefore# one
must +no. the necessary actons to ta+e n the e)ent that the
phase ceases# snce the end of a phase could actually be a

There are specfc solutons for the three problems

n the phase that one lterally needs a lst# so as not to .aste
any tme.
There are theores that ha)e nether been pro)en nor
dspro)en clamn& that tme n the phase contracts and
e1pands relat)e to real tme. Thus# one mnute of real tme

more l+e 9 to $" mnutes n the phase. Ths s determned by
the partculartes of nd)dual psycholo&y# state of mnd# and
the type of e)ents that occur n the phase.
0n order to understand ho. lon& a phase really lasted#
one does not need to try usn& a stop.atch n the real .orld.

By the way, knowing how to e4it paralysis is iportant
not only for practitioners of the phase, since such paralysis
occurs even without the phase for appro4iately one-third of
the huan population at least once in a lifetie. /t usually
happens before or after sleep.
FIGHTING FEAR
Fear n the phase s a )ery common occurrence. The
practtoner may e1perence fear at any sta&e# althou&h t s
e1pressed much more clearly durn& ntal practce. The
causes of fear are )ery d)erse: a feeln& that returnn& to the
body s mpossbleH a fear of deathH .orryn& that somethn&
bad s &on& to happen to the bodyH encountern& somethn&
scary and terrble n the phaseH panful sensatonsH o)erly
sharp# hyper4realstc sensatons.
Interesting Fact!
'ear is often specific in the phase and
depends on the practitioner>s current life
situation. 'or e4aple, young others
often begin to fear entering the phase ;ust
as they>re entering it out of a sense that
they would risk leaving their children
behind. /t often worry that they siply
ight not return or undergo an unsafe
situation.
(Table of Contents)
328
One fear domnates all others: the nstnct of self4
preser)aton# .hch# .thout any apparent reason# can nduce
a feeln& of absolute horror K a feeln& that cannot be
e1planed or controlled.
For a no)ce strc+en by nsurmountable fear that causes
paralyss# there s only one .ay to &radually o)ercome t.
Each tme a no)ce enters the phase# an attempt should be
made to &o a step further than the pre)ous tme. For
e1ample# n spte of feeln& terrfed# the practtoner should
try to rase the hands and then mo)e them bac+ to the ntal
poston. The second tme# the practtoner should attempt to
st do.n. The thrd tme# standn& up should be attempted.
The fourth tme# .al+n& around n the phase s ad)sed.
Then# after ncremental steps to.ard e1perencn& the
harmlessness of the phase state# product)e# calm acton may
ensue.
Interesting Fact!
'ear itself can be used to enter the
phase and reain there for a long tie.
Once the phase is entered, fear should be
allayed if it begins to cause probles for
the practitioner.

For a practtoner .ho faces perodcal fears# real,n&
that there s no real dan&er encoura&es pro&ress n practce.
2r&es to rapdly return to the body are then made baseless.
*ooner or later# calmer thou&ht domnates e)ents n the
phase# and fear happens less often.

,REATION OF BISION

,ONTA,T WITH 4IBING O.AE,TS
T.o problems may surface .hle con)ersn& .th
anmate ob6ects n the phase: slence or a return to the body.
0n )e. of the fact that many phase applcatons are based on
contact .th people for one purpose or another# t s
necessary to understand ho. to correctly mana&e contact
.th l)n& ob6ects.
0n order to a)od a foul (e6ecton from the phase nto

obser)ed. For e1ample# act)ely obser)e the facal features or
clothn& of a person you .ant to communcate .th. @hle

hands to&ether or mantan stron& )bratons by strann& the

332
D more comple1 problem s o)ercomn& the
communcat)e unrespons)eness of ob6ects n the phase. 0n
many cases# the speech of an ob6ect s bloc+ed by the nternal
stress of the practtoner. *ometmes the problem stems from
an e1pectaton that an ob6ect .ll not be able to communcate
n the phase.
0t s mportant to treat the ob6ects n a calm manner.
There s no use tryn& to shout or beat the ob6ect to force
communcaton. On the contrary# t s much more effect)e to
treat the ob6ect &ently# .thout applyn& pressure. Go not

S/PER-A.I4ITIES
The realsm of the phase space does not mpose lmts
on the ablty to perform actons that cannot be performed n
the physcal .orld. 0t s mportant to remember that only a
practtonerJs apprehenson places lmts on .hat may be done
n the phase.
For e1ample# f a practtoner needs to &et to a locaton 4
e)en )ery far a.ay 4 t may be reached by teleportaton. 0f an
ob6ect needs to be mo)ed from one sde of the room to the
other# t may be mo)ed by tele+ness. One of the ma6or
benefts of the phase e1perence s unencumbered freedom of
acton.
To master unusual abltes# only a fe. phases need to
be spent on concentrated de)elopment of the methods.

$ORA4 STANDARDS IN THE PHASE
From the )ery be&nnn&# t should be understood that
the moral compass of the phase space has nothn& n
common .th the socetal norms and la.s of the physcal
.orld. The phase space seemn&ly mtates the physcal .orld
.th all ts propertes and functons only because .e are
accustomed to them and are not e1pectn& anythn& else.
%oral prncples and rules apply only to the place .here they
.ere de)eloped. 0t does not ma+e sense to profess them
.hle n the phase.
The practtoner should not refran from certan actons n
the phase because some .ould be unacceptable# mproper# or
bad n the real .orld. These are merely beha)oral patterns
that are hardly suted to the .orld of the phase# .here
e)erythn& operates on the bass of entrely dfferent la.s.
The only moral rules that m&ht e1st n the phase are
those that the practtoner establshes. 0f desred# complete#
unhndered freedom may be e1perenced.

Dll methods for controlln& the phase space stem from a
prmary la.: the de&ree of chan&eablty of the phase space s
n)ersely proportonate to the depth of the phase and the
stablty of ts ob6ects. That s# the deeper and more stable the
phase# the more dffcult t s to perform somethn& unusual n
t because n a deep# stable phase# the la.s of t be&n to

Dll translocaton and fndn& ob6ects techn8ues are
based on +no.led&e of methods that e1plot ths prmary la..
The secret les n the fact that not only phase depth affects
the controllablty of the phase# but so does phase stablty#
.hch n turn depends to a lar&e e1tent on the number of
sensatons e1perenced n the phase. The techn8ues for

TE,HNIQ/ES FOR TRANS4O,ATION
Tra!locatio duri1 Se*aratio
The easest .ay to translocate s to do so .hle
separatn& from the body. Employn& ths techn8ue s
e1tremely smple and con)enent. 0t may be combned .th
almost any separaton techn8ue and s performed by focusn&
on the ma&e and feel of a desred locaton durn& the ntal
(Table of Contents)
351
sta&es of e1tn& the body. 0t s e)en better to ma&ne that
phase entry .ll occur and separaton .ll complete n a
chosen locaton.
Interesting Fact!
After having changed place of
residence, the practitioner will very often
continue for soe tie to separate fro the
body in the sae house where he was used
to doing this previously.
D dra.bac+ of ths techn8ue s that separaton occurs
only n the be&nnn& of the phase e1perence and# therefore#
can only be used once. Other optons should be consdered
after the frst translocaton.
Tra!locatio t&rou1& a Door
0n order to use ths techn8ue# approach any door .th
the stron& belef that t leads to the re8ured locaton. Dfter
openn& the door# the practtoner .ll see and be able to step
nto the destnaton. 0f the door .as or&nally open# t must
be completely shut before applyn& the techn8ue.
D dra.bac+ to ths techn8ue s that ts practce al.ays
re8ures a door. 0f there s no door# users of ths translocaton
techn8ue should create one usn& an ob6ect fndn&
techn8ue.
Tra!locatio t&rou1& Tele*ortatio
To apply ths techn8ue# shut the eyes (f )son s
present)# and then concentrate attenton on a thou&ht4form
or ma&e of a locaton else.here n the phase. Dt ths
moment# there .ll be a sensaton of s.ft fl&ht and .thn !
to $" seconds# the destnaton .ll be reached.
The success of ths techn8ue depends on a stron&
concentraton upon a sn&le &oal: the desred locaton. The
techn8ue must be performed )ery clearly# confdently#
a&&ress)ely# and .thout dstractons. Dny unrelated

thou&hts ha)e a profoundly ne&at)e nfluence on ts
performance. They unnecessarly prolon& the fl&ht# cause a
foul# or result n arr)n& at an undesred locaton.
Tra!locatio t&rou1& Tele*ortatio (it& t&e E'e!
O*e
Ths techn8ue s dffcult because t re8ures an unstable
phase space caused by a stron& desre to translocate to
another locaton. @hereas durn& teleportaton by fl&ht .th
eyes shut the practtoner dsentan&les hmself from the
current locaton# that s not the case here. Therefore# ths
techn8ue should be used only by e1perenced practtoners
.ho are confdent that they are capable of remann& n the
phase.
Ds far as mplementn& the techn8ue s concerned# the
practtoner smply needs to stop and concentrate on the
thou&ht that he s already present n the desred locaton and
focus on ts ma&e. 0t s mportant to not stare at or touch
anythn& durn& the thou&ht. *urroundn& space .ll dm# blur
and then dsappear durn& ths tme# and then the ntended
locaton .ll &radually start to appear. The rate of space
metamorphoss depends on the de&ree of desre to reach the
re8ured locaton.
0f concentraton s .ea+ or phase depth s poor# then
after space destabl,es# t m&ht not be restored 4 and a
return to the .a+eful state .ll occur.
Tra!locatio (it& ,lo!ed E'e!
Ths s one of the easest techn8ues. To use ths
techn8ue# the practtoner smply needs to shut the eyes and
ha)e an ntense desre that# .hen the eyes are ne1t opened#
the re8ured locaton .ll be reached. 0n order to consderably
ncrease the effect)eness of ths techn8ue# t .ould be useful
to ma&ne# at the moment you close your eyes# that you
ha)e already reached the desred locaton. 0n order to stay n
the phase# tEs better to perform ths techn8ue .hle mo)n&#

Tra!locatio b' ,ocetratio o a Re)ote
ObNect
To perform ths techn8ue# the practtoner should peer
from a dstance at a mnor detal of the desred locaton. The
&reater an ntenton to see an ob6ectJs detal# the 8uc+er the
arr)al at the ob6ectJs locaton.
D dra.bac+ to ths techn8ue s that ths type of
translocaton s possble only for places that are already
)sble# albet from a &reat dstance.
Tra!locatio b' Pa!!i1 t&rou1& a Wall
Ths techn8ue s performed by .al+n& or flyn& throu&h
a .all .th the eyes shut and a frm con)cton that the
re8ured locaton s behnd the .all. The barrer does not
necessarly ha)e to be a .all. 0t can be any non4transparent
ob6ect throu&h .hch a practtoner may .al+ or fly: a screen#
a .ardrobe# and so on.
The man dra.bac+ of ths techn8ue s the necessty of
approprate s+lls for penetratn& throu&h sold ob6ects of the
phase. Dnother necessary condton for applyn& ths
techn8ue s the presence of barrers to pass throu&h.

sold ob6ects s# naturally# also re8ured.
D practtoner may d)e throu&h the floor or the &round#
and also nto any flat hor,ontal surface: a table# a char# a

Tra!locatio t&rou1& Rotatio
To apply ths techn8ue# a practtoner n the phase .ll
start rotatn& on an a1s .hle smultaneously concentratn&
on a belef that a desred locaton .ll be reached once
rotaton s stopped. The eyes must be shut durn& the
rotaton# or )son must not be focused on anythn& n

Dn e1planaton of ho. nformaton s obtaned n the
phase can hardly be une8u)ocally pro)en. 'erhaps there are
other undsco)ered resources. But that s not so mportant.
The most mportant thn& s defntely +no.n: ho. to obtan
nformaton n the phase.
The al&orthm for obtann& nformaton from the phase
s not comple1. Dfter entern& the phase# only the techn8ues
for obtann& nformaton and the methods of )erfyn& t need
to be learned n order to ncrease the amount of +no.led&e
&leaned from the phase.
Based on the pra&matc e1planaton of the nature of the
phase as an unusual state of bran controlled by the
subconscous# t may be assumed that the amount of
nformaton obtaned n the phase s lmted. 0f the phase
e1sts .thn the confnes of the bran# then the bran can only
operate on data that has been rece)ed by t snce brth.
0ndeed# t appears that e)erythn& perce)ed throu&h the
sensory or&ans s remembered and correlated .th other
data. Ths s true not only of the perceptons .e are a.are of#
.hch comprse only a small fracton of total sensory nput#
but also the enormous )olumes of nformaton re&stered at
the subconscous le)el.
0f any e)ent s actually a conse8uence of other e)ents#
.hch .ere# n turn# also conse8uences of pre)ous
happenn&s# then nothn& occurs by chance. The ntal data s
+no.n 4 therefore t s possble to calculate .hat s mpled by
t.
Ds a result# f e)erythn& s based solely on the resource
of the subconscous mnd# then nformaton may be obtaned
about e)erythn& that s related to an nd)dual lfe: the
practtonerJs e1perences and the e1perences of those .th
.hom the practtoner e1perences lfe. Both our o.n future
and past# and the future and past of others can be f&ured
out. Dll n all# n order to approach +no.n& the .hole of the
nformaton a)alable n the phase# personal +no.led&e
capacty .ould need to ncrease by $"" or e)en $#""" tmes.
(Table of Contents)
369
The only nformaton that s not a)alable n the phase s
that about .hch the subconscous mnd does not ha)e any
prelmnary nformaton. For e1ample# .here to purchase a
.nnn& lottery tc+et that .ll .n mllons of dollars cannot
be learned snce there s no data that could support the
necessary calculaton. The subconscous mnd .ll also not be
able to sho. the practtoner .hat a random street n a small
to.n on the other end of the Earth loo+s l+e. D practtoner
should not try &uessn& .hat nformaton the subconscous
mnd has to offer and .hat t doesnJt because msta+es are
easly made. For e1ample# f a practtoner has ne)er been to
'ars and ne)er seen the Effel To.er# t m&ht be assumed
that the practtonerJs subconscous mnd +no.s nothn&
about t ether. Bo.e)er# o)er the course of hs lfe# hs mnd
has already rece)ed an enormous 8uantty of nformaton
about t from pctures# photo&raphs# stores# )deos# boo+s#
and so forth.
There are three basc techn8ues for obtann&
nformaton n the phase. Each of them has ts ad)anta&es
and dsad)anta&es that must be studed and learned before
use.
Ai)ate ObNect! Tec&i0ue
To perform ths method of obtann& nformaton# the
practtoner# n a full deep phase# must locate a person by
techn8ues for fndn& ob6ects and procure the necessary
nformaton from that person throu&h the use of smple
8uestons. 0f the re8ured nformaton s ln+ed to a certan
person# then that person should be located n the phase. 0f
the nformaton s not related to anyone n partcular# then t
s possble to create a un)ersal nformaton source# .hch
must be assocated .th .sdom and +no.led&e. For
e1ample# ths could be a .se recluse# a .ell4+no.n
phlosopher# or a &uru.
The ad)anta&e of ths techn8ue s that t s easy to pose
addtonal 8uestons and t s also easer to )erfy .hate)er
nformaton s obtaned. D dra.bac+ of ths techn8ue s that#

2se techn8ues for fndn& ob6ects n order to locate
nformaton from sources l+e nscrptons# boo+s# or

The upsde to ths techn8ue s that f a practtoner has
problems communcatn& .th anmate ob6ects# ths techn8ue
can temporarly ser)e as a reasonable alternat)e.
E*i!ode Tec&i0ue

ma&ne an e)ent or seres of e)ents that .ll communcate

nformaton that the e)ents are communcatn&. The epsode
techn8ue s sutable only for cases .here nformaton can be
obtaned by obser)aton.

Gow to verify the inforationN The techn8ues for
rece)n& nformaton n the phase are not comple1 and pro)e
successful after 6ust a fe. attempts. Bo.e)er# as .as already
mentoned earler# the propertes of phase spaces that do not
(Table of Contents)
371
fall under the cate&ory of ))d percepton are not partcularly
stable 4 not only n terms of appearance# but also n terms of
ther propertes. Correctness of nformaton also depends on
the ob6ects themsel)es. The problem rests n that the
practtoner may not be able to properly control the ob6ect n
8ueston and may rece)e false nformaton.
Interesting Fact!
The phase space is not everyday
realityH therefore, it should not be treated
with the noral belief that every
observation should be regarded as fact.
E)en .hen a practtoner has learned to fnd anmate
and nanmate ob6ects .th an absence of doubt# there s stll
no &uarantee that the rece)ed nformaton s al.ays
accurate. D fe. techn8ue4related trc+s are able to test an
ob6ectJs ablty to spea+ the truth.
For e1ample# an ob6ect can tal+ about somethn& .th
absolute confdence# but that does not mean that .hat t
communcates s all true. 0f doubt s e1perenced .hle fndn&
the ob6ect# then doubt may ha)e an effect on .hat the ob6ect
says. Ths s .hy doubt must be a)oded at all costs 4
althou&h be&nners are bound to ntally ha)e problems .th
ths.
To determne .hether an ob6ect s able to &)e accurate
nformaton# a control 0uestion should be as+ed. 0t essentally
conssts of as+n& some )ery smple 8uestons and obser)n&
the ob6ectEs reacton. For e1ample: CBo. much s t.o tmes
t.oLC# C@hatEs my nameLC# CBo. old am 0LC# and C@here do 0
l)eLC# and so on. 0f the ob6ect s unable to ans.er e)en such
smple 8uestons correctly# then there s no sense n tryn& to
obtan further nformaton from t. The practtoner must ha)e
made commtted some errors .hen creatn& the ob6ect. D
proper ob6ect .ll reman slent or say that t does not +no.
the ans.er to the control 8ueston.
(Table of Contents)
372
Dfter any nformaton s obtaned# t must be confrmed.
Ths s done by means of a clarifying 0uestion. The
practtoner needs to as+ the ob6ect .here the nformaton
came from to fnd out the detals that offer proof of the
nformatonJs authentcty n the real .orld. The ob6ect may
also be as+ed the same 8uestons more than once# pro)ded
they are re.orded. The ans.ers to re.orded 8uestons must
be dentcal.
Remember# the more mportant the nature of the
nformaton and the more serous acton t mples# the more
effort needs to be n)ested n )erfyn& t n the real .orld
snce a certan percenta&e of the nformaton s bound to be
ncorrect despte correct performance of nformaton4related
techn8ues.
Dpproachn& the obtanment of nformaton .th as
smple 8uestons as possble s also e1tremely mportant. The
smpler the nformaton that needs to be found out# the
better. Ds soon as a phaser becomes able to do ths n hs

The ablty to obtan undstorted nformaton from the
phase s consdered to be a masterful s+ll of nearly the
h&hest order. *o .here do problems occurL Ds has already
been noted# obtann& nformaton s not anythn& dffcult
from a techncal pont of )e. 4 t suffces to &et nto the
phase and fnd somethn& out from ob6ects or the phase
space. 'roblems occur on a completely dfferent plane# one
that s much more dffcult for people to control 4 the plane of
thou&ht# mood# and belef 4 both the superfcal and deep4
founded )arety.
One of the most e1ctn& and nterestn& tas+s of
on&on& modern research s the study of ho. the phase
space# ts propertes# and functons depend on the nternal
mental bac+&round of the practtoner. Ths tas+ s made
partcularly clear by the follo.n& e1ample. Ths e1ample .ll
assume that the phase space s controlled by the
subconscous mnd. 0t .ll also assume that a practtoner has
&otten nto the phase usn& an ndrect techn8ue and has
rolled out of hs body .hle n hs bedroom. 0t turns out that
the subconscous .as able to &enerate the entre room alon&
.th mllons of mnute detals .th e1act precson n a matter
of seconds# perhaps n a mere fracton of a second.
2nma&nable s the amount of computaton that had to occur
n order to so 8uc+ly &enerate e)erythn&# up to e)ery thread
n the curtans and e)ery dot of n+ on the .allpaper# .thout
)olatn& any la.s of physcs. 0tEs dffcult to e)en fathom.
7e1t# the practtoner decdes to perform a .ell4+no.n test
.th a calculator. To ths end# he needs to fnd that
computatonal tool and punch n the numbers to be crunched.
Be .ll then )erfy the calculatorEs ans.er n the real .orld.
Dnd so# he uses the techn8ue of fndn& and fnds a
calculator. Be fnds the real thn&# and not 6ust a mere
representaton of t. Ths ob6ect# despte ts s,e# s 8ute
complcated 4 yet the phase creates t .th sn&ular accuracy
and precson. Dll of ts lnes# buttons# and cur)es are
&enerated 4 all much more accurately than could e)er be
dra.n. %oreo)er# ths calculator can e)en be ta+en apart# and
(Table of Contents)
374
ts nternal components may be e1amned. E)erythn& here s
&enerated n only an nstant.
But then the trouble starts. The practtoner multples !
by ! and &ets some odd result# e.&.: D':49B# 9LeE=4"4=...
etc. That s# the result s anythn& but the correct product.
D parado1cal stuaton no. arses: the subconscous
mnd &enerates a space around the practtoner# accurate to
an mpossble de&ree and up to the mnutest detal. Bo.e)er#
ths )ery same subconscous mnd s unable to multply smple
numbers to&ether# a smple math problem that the
practtoner hmself can sol)e .thn a second. GoesnEt ths
stuaton seem stran&eL Dctually# not at all. The phase space
and ts computn& resources are not at ssue here. For the
phase# ths calculaton s not dffcult at all. Ths s really a
mere trfle for the resource that the practtoner has at hs
dsposal# e)en f he hmself has dffcultes .th multplcaton
tables.
The cru1 of the problem les n the mnd of the
practtoner .hen he s performn& ths &)en test. Be may
smply lac+ confdence (and ths doubt .ll be reflected n the
result). 0n addton# there may be a mass of other thou&hts
and feeln&s &on& throu&h hs head# .hch may brn& all of
hs efforts to nau&ht. For some reason# t sometmes seems
that a smlar phenomenon pertans not only to the phase# but
also to the e)eryday physcal .orld...

One of the pro)en propertes of the phase state s that
ts stablty and steadness are drectly proportonal to those
of the person e1perencn& the sensatons t offers. For ths
reason# the e1ternal characterstcs of ob6ects tend to be )ery
stable and unchan&n&. For e1ample# one cannot put oneEs
arm throu&h a .all .hen n a deep phase. But at the same
tme# the propertes and n)sble functons of those same
ob6ects can be )ery unstable and senst)e to any mental
dsturbance. That s .hy t s dffcult to nstantly e)aporate
.ater or turn t nto blue brc+ .hle n the phase# but .ater
can easly be turned nto )od+a 4 a transubstantaton
accompaned by chan&e not only n taste and smell# but e)en
n propertes .hch affect the mnd of a person .ho drn+s t.
Dfter all# .ater and )od+a ha)e the same out.ard
appearance# but only dffer n terms of propertes. Dnd 6ust as
.ell# an ob6ect created n the phase for the purpose of
obtann& nformaton s e1tremely dependent on the nternal
state of the practtoner. D polluted mnd muffles 6ust .hat
the practtoner .ants to learn# and bloc+s .hat phase ob6ects
could easly con)ey to hm.
For that )ery reason# a practtoner desrn& to obtan
nformaton n the phase should remember one mportant
thn&: one must be not only e1ternally# but also nternally as
ndfferent as possble to the nformaton one obtans. 0n
parallel .th ths# t s necessary to ha)e full and complete
confdence that e)erythn& .ll .or+. Other.se# the ob6ect
.ll )acllate bet.een .hat one .ants to hear and .hat one s
afrad to hear# nstead of a smple transmsson of nformaton
occurrn&. Ths problem s o)ercome n lar&e measure throu&h
practce# but there are some trc+s that facltate ths tas+.
The smplest of these s as follo.s: the practtoner as+s the
ob6ect hs 8ueston nether pont4blan+ nor r&ht a.ay# but
une1pectedly durn& con)ersaton on a sde topc. Ths
approach smply allo.s the practtoner to rela1 and reman

The nformaton obtaned may pertan not only to actons to

Ths s a &reat method.
The physcal body s totally fooled# and forced to .or+ n

the follo.n& fact: the physcal body reacts to all e1perences
n the phase state as f they .ere actually occurrn& n realty#
and attempts to physcally adapt to phase e)ents by tryn& to
create the needed and htherto nsuffcent effect.
Ths s made clear by the follo.n& smple lab

The techn8ue of obtann& nformaton .ll be of help for

techn8ue s descrbed n detal n ths boo+# alon& .th ho. to

on a partcular person# and not on oneself. The practtoner
may learn not only ho. to pro)de treatment n real4lfe# but

prescrptons andPor ad)ce are then relayed to the person for

From a materalst pont of )e.# t s necessary to note
the fact that far from e)eryone can be helped usn& the

The only sure .ay to &et practce .thout unnecessarly

the nature and possbltes of the phase phenomenon.
The ma6orty of a)alable nformaton re&ardn&

durn& ntal entres nto the phase. Ths s .hy practce
should be&n from the perspect)e of a clean slate# usn& a

personal e4perience should be taken with a grain of salt. Ths
means only personal e1perence should be ta+en serously#
not the e1perence of ac8uantances# authors# teachers# blo&s#
or forums.

The only .ay to buld a &ood foundaton for phase practce s
to approach the phenomenon n a do.n4to4earth manner#
from a scentfc perspect)e# dscountn& any purported

2ntl all 8uestons are ans.ered throu&h a search for

APPROA,H TO 4ITERAT/RE
(terature of e)ery sort has al.ays been the man
)ehcle for dssemnatn& nformaton about the phase state.
The phase phenomenon s referred to by other terms: astral
pro6ecton# out4of4body tra)el# or lucd dreamn&. 0n addton
to dssemnatn& nformaton# many boo+s are often )ehcles
for dssemnatn& fallaces.
Ths s easy to reco&n,e .hen researchn& se)eral such
boo+s and comparn& descrbed e)ents and theores. The
nformaton s more often than not contradctory and based on
opnons that ha)e ne)er been )erfed by anyone# ncludn&
the authors. The result s a mass of speculaton that has no
bearn& on realty# nearly al.ays accompaned by a false
certanty about the sub6ect matter. Bo.e)er# unl+e the real
.orld# the phase s not a place .here one can bele)e oneJs
eyes or feeln&s. The phaseEs appearance and 8ualtes
depend )ery much on the person e1perencn& t.
For e1ample# f a practtoner bele)es upon entern& the
phase that hs body .ll be lyn& nearby on the bed# then t
.ll al.ays be there. 0f a practtoner bele)es that the
perce)ed body should al.ays be tethered to the physcal
body# then the practtoner .ll al.ays see and e)en feel a
tether n the phase. Ths s a smple case of e1pectatons
becomn& realty. *mlarly# someone .ho has entered the
phase by accdent and thn+s that the tme of death has
arr)ed may see an&els and a tunnel .th a l&ht at the end. 0f
someone s e1tremely rel&ous# there may be a percepton
that somethn& holy# e)en Fod# has appeared. 0f entry to the
phase s construed as a result of ben& abducted by alens#
then that s e1actly .hat .ll happen.
Ths .ould all be 8ute funny f t .ere not encountered
all of the tme. 0f one has no doubts &on& n# then the only
thn& left to do s to bele)e. To bele)e# to tell others about t#
and .rte boo+s about t...
(Table of Contents)
416
There are authors .ho mpart no llusons# but t s often
dffcult for a no)ce to separate the truth from lluson or
open fabrcaton# .hch s .hy a s+eptcal approach to the
contents of any boo+ s .arranted. The only truth con)eyed n
any boo+ s that .hch has been )erfed by personal
e1perence. The rest should smply be noted and possbly
ta+en nto consderaton.
0n concluson# boo+s should be studed to dsco)er
techn8ue4related nformaton that allo.s a practtoner to
enter the phase and control the e1perence. Ths s the only
pont of ntersecton amon& all belefs and theores.
PRA,TI,E ENBIRON$ENT
*nce techn8ues used to enter the phase are assocated
.th a specfc type of mental operaton# t s necessary to
create comfortable condtons so that e1ternal dstracters are
+ept to a mnmum. D room should nether be too cold or too
hot# nor too br&ht. 'erformn& techn8ues at a comfortable
temperature n a dar+ened room or .hle .earn& a sleepn&

Interesting Fact!
/n bright roos, wearing a sleeping
ask over the eyes can double the success
rate of attepts, and also help one to enter
a uch deeper and longer phase.

h&her le)el of practce# .hch dffers substantally from lo.er

/f a practitioner is still unable to intentionally enter the
phase at least several ties a week, then he should not read
this section. /t ay cause his ind additional confusion and
distract hi with things that are not yet necessary and
difficult to understand. /f he decides to read on anyway, he
does so at his own risk and fully responsible for the

smplfes as one dscerns the underlyn& prncples. One
cannot start off from those prncples# as they can only be
dscerned throu&h nd)dual practce upon ha)n& mastered
the bascs. Ths comes naturally for many practtoners. The
am of ths secton s only to h&hl&ht thn&s that .ll be

The phase can be applied in one way or another as

@hen at a h&h le)el of practce# a phaser s not
surprsed by the phase tself (as s the case at other le)els).
The only surprse comes from unsuccessful attempts .hen he
s unable to enter t. Ths s especally true re&ardn& ndrect
techn8ues. Three +ey factors lead to such a success rate.
0f techn8ues performed upon a.a+enn& do not .or+
due to an a&&ress)e approach# ths s al.ays remeded by
correct use of forced falln& asleep n parallel to the
techn8ues. They al.ays start to .or+# and so choce of
techn8ue s not mportant here. Dnd f a techn8ue has

Dn e1perenced phaser does not perform ndrect

DEEPENING
The deepenn& techn8ues used by an ad)anced
practtoner essentally dffer lttle from those used at the
basc le)el. Bo.e)er# there are t.o fundamental dfferences
n the .ay these techn8ues are performed. Frst# an
e1perenced phaser .ll prefer to perform deepenn& at the

then mplement the plan of acton. 0nstead# he separates and
mmedately mplements hs plan of acton# n parallel to

Bo.e)er# tEs only a stru&&le n a relat)e sense# and more of
a stru&&le for perfecton. Dn essental .ay that an
e1perenced phaser dffers from a no)ce s that the len&th of
tme that he stays n the phase s fully suffcent for hs needs.
7o matter ho. lon& he stays n the phase# ths duraton s
multpled by hs many phase entrances o)er the course of
e)en a sn&le day. Ds a result# he al.ays accomplshes all of
the tas+s he has set for hmself# and often 8ute 8uc+ly. Dnd
f a practtoner accomplshes all hs ob6ect)es# .hy should he
be dssatsfed .th the duraton of a phaseL
The frst s&n of an ad)anced practtoner s that he
al.ays has a plan of acton for the phase. Dn nterestn& and
useful one. Be al.ays +no.s .hat he .ll do n the phase and
ho. he .ll apply t. Be al.ays .ants to enter the phase# as
he al.ays has many thn&s to do n t# e)en f they sometmes

ad)anced practtoners underta+e ther o.n studes of the

and personal de)elopment.
The man problem no)ces ha)e n mantann& the phase
parado1cally conssts n fear of a foul# .e. an n)oluntary
return to the body. Ths usually causes them to perform the
mantann& techn8ues ncorrectly# and they nearly al.ays
lac+ the ntenton of mantann&# not to menton confdence n
ther o.n abltes. But ths s a decs)e factor .hen t comes
to mantann& the phase.
A novice perfors aintaining techni0ues in order to not
be returned back to the body or not fall asleep, while an
e4perienced practitioner perfors aintaining techni0ues in
order to aintain his presence in the phase.
Ds a result# the former s often soundly thro.n out of the
phase# .hle the latter has e1perences that are many tmes
lon&er and more rela1ed. E)en thn+n& of oneEs o.n body

@hle n the phase and .hen performn& any mantann&
techn8ue# a practtoner should be e1tremely confdent that
he .ll be n the phase for 6ust as lon& as he needs to be.
*uch confdence alone s suffcent to substantally prolon& the
a)era&e phase.
Bo.e)er# .hen mantann& the phase# ad)anced
practtoners ha)e to face the real ssue of +eepn& ther
mnds out of ther bodes 4 and ths means false fouls. The
absolute ma6orty of returns to the body from the phase are
false. Gependn& on oneEs personal characterstcs and le)el of
practce# from 9" to ?"; of all returns to the body can be
false. ThatEs precsely .hy the mandatory rule s: upon
returnn& to the body# one must try to separate from t a&an.
E)en .hen follo.n& ths rule# the e1perence nonetheless
often ends n a false a.a+enn& that s only reco&n,ed some
tme after the fact.
The problem s partally resol)ed by understandn& that a
return to the body from the phase means nothn& at all. 0f t
happens# tEs but a trfle for oneEs practce not .orthy of the
sl&htest attenton. 0f you .ere 6ust n the phase# then t canEt
end so easly or 8uc+ly. An e4perienced practitioner should
always (always#$ try to re-enter the phase and do it with as
uch self-assurance as possible. And if one is at last unable
to leave the body again, then one ust perfor at least two
reality checks (hyperconcentration, breathing out through a
pinched nose, looking for inconsistencies, etc.$, as there is a
high likelihood that one is still nevertheless in the phase.
Realty chec+s alone can prolon& a phase e1perence by up to
!" percent. 0n summary# at h&her le)els of practce# a phaser
must try to re4e1t hs body. 0f he s unable to# then he must
perform realty chec+s.
There are se)eral reasons .hy practcally all

APP4I,ATION
Gespte the fact that tEs not dffcult for an ad)anced
phaser to apply the phase to.ards any .ell4+no.n practcal
applcaton# heEs unl+ely to do ths often. There are se)eral
reasons for ths. Frst# .hen your tally of phase e1perences
numbers n the thousands# and you do t many tmes per day#
your needs smply cannot +eep up .th your e1perence.
*mply put# the phaser has already accomplshed e)erythn&
that he needed to# and returns to practcal applcaton only
rarely. *econd# ad)anced practtoners rarely see the phase
as a means to sol)e some tas+ or problem. For them tEs
smply a lfe to l)e. Dfter all# .e donEt l)e here n the physcal
.orld for the sa+e of ache)n& somethn& n the phase .orld.
@e l)e for ths .orld. 0tEs the same .th the phase. 0tEs &ood#
mraculous# and ma&cal only because t e1sts# and .e can
nhabt t. ThatEs .hy ad)anced practtoners see+ nothn& n
the phase. They are content .th the )ery fact of l)n& n t.o
.orlds.
Obtann& nformaton from the phase s ts most dffcult
applcaton. Dll of the other applcatons present lttle
dffculty# e)en for moderately ad)anced practtoners.
Bo.e)er# mastern& the s+ll of obtann& credble nformaton
s a 6ob thatEs ne)er fnshed.
Techn8ues ha)e been smplfed as much as possble
here. Dfter all# techn8ues for obtann& nformaton are
needed to create ntermedares bet.een the practtoner and
hs subconscous mnd (or felds of nformaton# as some
bele)e them to be). These ntermedares are necessary n
order to better understand and clearly Csee and hearC the
nformaton. But n the end# all these are ntermedares and
(Table of Contents)
465
rtuals for no)ces .ho donEt understand .hatEs &on& on
nternally. Bo.e)er# they do understand .hatEs &on& on
e1ternally# and so thereEs no other .ay to e1plan t to them.
0n most cases# an e1perenced phaser .ll use the most clear4
cut .ay of obtann& nformaton: &ettn& t drectly. The
practtonerEs 8ueston s rased as a thou&ht4form# and the
ans.er to t nstantly appears n hs memory# as f t .ere
somethn& already +no.n. Ths s smlar to the lon&4
reco&n,ed phenomenon of false memory# but n ths case the
memory doesnEt ha)e to be false 4 t can contan truly useful
nformaton. Other.se# the tas+ of fndn& somethn& out can
be set before entrance nto the phase# and the ans.er to t
can be found n oneEs mnd mmedately upon separaton.
0nfluencn& physolo&y occurs n the same .ay. The
desred effect s ache)ed not by ta+n& plls or other
measures n the phase# but throu&h drectly nducn& t.
%ean.hle# due to the specal .ays n .hch the subconscous
mnd .or+s# tEs stll sometmes recommended to use
addtonal CcrutchesC n the form of plls or the l+e n order to
ncrease the effect)eness of the physcal bodyEs reacton.
THE P4A,E OF THE PRA,TI,E IN 4IFE
D h&h le)el phaser l)es n proper balance bet.een the
practce and real lfe. Ths s reflected n a successful and
content physcal lfe that nether nterferes .th the practce
nor detracts from t# but nstead enrches t .th emoton. The
phase enrches physcal lfe# and physcal lfe enrches the
phase. 'roblems n day4to4day lfe ha)e a catastrophc effect
on oneEs practce. Thus# e)en .hen n pursut of a better
phase practce# one should ne)er for&et the real .orld# .here
conscousness frst arose. 0n the same )en# the phase tself
can be used .th .de applcaton for oneEs career or
busness.
Dn e1perenced practtoner al.ays +no.s .hen tEs tme
for real lfe and .hen tEs tme for the phase. E)erythn& &oes
(Table of Contents)
466
best .hen the t.o are +ept separate# and not ntert.ned. For
e1ample# durn& the .or+n& day one must try not to thn+ of
the phase# but nstead concentrate on more )tal matters.
@hen the tme comes to enter nto oneEs practce# t s
necessary to turn oneEs attenton to only t# and put asde any
pressn& problems. D practtoner .ll feel most comfortable
.hen he clearly separates hs t.o l)es# and thus a)od the
&aps n practce that ne)tably occur unless ths phlosophy s
follo.ed.
Bo.e)er# ths s not to &)e the mpresson that
ad)anced phasers must enter the phase e)ery day .thout
e1cepton. They too ta+e brea+s# .hether by choce or due to
e1ternal crcumstances. TheyEre sometmes smply not up to t
for physcal reasons. On a &ood .ee+ theyEll de)ote maybe :4
9 days to t# and be able to enter the phase from : to < tmes
or more on each of those days. ThatEs about f)e hundred full4
fled&ed phase e1perences per year# enou&h to ta+e lon&
strdes to.ards mastern& the phenomenon.
A.I4ITY TO TEA,H
Once a phaser has ache)ed a h&her le)el of practce#
heEs no. a ne. type of person# and perhaps 4 n terms of the
e)oluton of human conscousness 4 a man or .oman of the
future. Be s the +eeper of rare +no.led&e re&ardn&
techn8ues that s au&mented by hs personal practce. Be
must real,e and understand that hs s a 8ute rare and
precous s+ll# one that most can only dream of. Ths
+no.led&e should not be appled merely to.ards personal
betterment and l)n& fully n t.o .orlds at once. The .orld s
.onderful only .hen nternal and e1ternal harmony are n
syner&y.
D practtoner should therefore al.ays pay more
attenton to those around hm and ther ta+e on the
phenomenon. The more people there are around the
practtoner .ho understand and practce the phase# the more
(Table of Contents)
467
comfortable he hmself .ll feel. Of course# +no.led&e of such
hdden human abltes should only be passed on under the
