Astral Projection Workbook

Introduction

‘Astral Projection’ is one of those terms which, though widely used in esoteric

circles, actually means different things to different people. To some it suggests stepping out of your physical body to make your way in the world like a ghost, passing through walls and doors while you are (generally) invisible to those still locked into solid flesh. To others, it is the projection of consciousness into another world altogether, the fabled Astral Plane, where the normal laws of physics no longer apply and all sorts of interesting weirdness may be experienced.

Although carrying the same label and far too often confused in occultiterature, these two experiences are quite distinct. I have managed both the — latter far more often than the former — and they seem to me actually to involve different mechanisms. Certainly the techniques used to stimulate them are quite different.

In this workbook, I wifi deal with both forms of astral projection. But to avoid

the old confusion, I propose to call the former (where you wander the familiar

world like a ghost) etheric projection or projection of the phantom. The latter experience (where you enter a totally different world) I wifi call Astral Plane projection.

You should be aware that skill in one form of projection is no guarantee of

expertise in the other. There are etheric projectors to whom the Astral Plane is as mysterious and alien as the far side of the moon. And there are Astral Plane projectors utterly unable to separate the phantom in the physical world. One benefit of this is that you need only practise the type of projection that interests you there is no pressure on you to do both.

The first section of the Astral Projection Workbook deals with the projection of the phantom. It wifi introduce you to the concept of subtle bodies, show you how these bodies separate on death (and partly separate during sleep) then teach you how they may be consciously separated by almost anyone without going to the trouble of dying first.

The second section deals with Astral Plane projection. It discusses the Astral

Plane itself, its nature and location, then shows how you may enter it by means of various techniques, including the specially constructed astral doorways which were the subject of the very first book I ever published.
