1.0 Introduction

These are some words which are mainly misunderstood in the western society as to what do they really mean. Nearly everyone reading this article would have read about them some where, sometime!. Not everyone is clear on the meaning's of certain words that are used in the occult studies. I am writing this article using one reference only. An author who was a great person and suffered a lot by the hands of the press and many coward people. People who didn't know any better, yet thought they can bring a great teacher down to their size!. As discussed, I will write about dream interpretation and what a dream really is. Everyone says that they've dreamt about this or that and they would like to know the meaning. What it means, is it good or bad. Some times we wake up saying, "Holy shit....i met my cat!". Yup, it does mean something and we will try and solve it as to what it means. By the end of this article, I think everyone should be confident of interpreting their own dreams without anyone's help or interference. It's not a hard task as you'll see. Actually it's much easier than even breathing!. People should remember that there is no fast solution to any problem. We are not out there to make money. Don't think that you can do what I write here quickly and you'll know everything fast. There is no quick fix in the world of metaphysics. If you are looking for a quick fix, then you should start looking for a good job and work hard!. Everything in the occult takes time and even more patience!. If you lack patience, then stay out of these things because you won't go anywhere and you might drag other people with you.

2.0 Some Common Words and Their Definitions ( A small Dictionary )

2.1 AKASHIC RECORD

This is a difficult matter to explain specially when it deals with multi-dimensional world, since we are only in the third dimension. It's hard to explain some one about the 200th dimension if that person hasn't been there!. But in simple terms, here is what it is. Imagine that you are a cine photographer, who has always existed and will always exist, and you have an unlimited supply of film ( and some one to process it for you!). From the beginning of time you have photographed everything that ever happened anywhere to anyone and everyone. You are still photographing the events of the present day. That represents the AKASHIC RECORDS;

Everything that has ever happened is impressed upon the ether as are light impulses recorded on cine film, or a voice record can be impressed upon recording tape. In addition to this, because of the multi-dimensional world in which it is recorded, there also can be recorded the very strong probabilities which affect everyone on Earth and off the Earth. You can imagine that you are in a city; you are on a street, a car is coming along, it passes you, and it disappears from your sight, you have no knowledge of what is happening to it. But supposing, instead, that you were up in a balloon and you could look down and see the road for miles ahead. You could see the car rushing along, you could see perhaps an obstacle in the road which the car would not be able to avoid. Thus you would see misfortune coming to the driver before he was aware of it. When considering Akashic Record it is worth remembering that if you could travel instantly to a far distant planet and you had a special instrument, the light which was arriving from the Earth ( as light has speed ), might show what was happening to Earth a hundred , a thousand or ten thousand years ago. With your special instrument you would see the earth as it was ten thousand years ago!. The Akashic Record goes beyond that because it shows the strong probability of what is going to happen. The probabilities confronting a nation are very much stronger , are much more certain, than in the case of individuals, and those people who are specially trained can enter the astral state and they can consult the Akashic Record to see what has happened, what is happening in any part of the world, and what are the terrifically the strong probabilities for the future. It is a very much, in fact, like going to some news theater and seeing a film. If you know from the programme what film is on at a certain time you can go and see just that.

2.2 ASTRAL TRAVELLING

When a person lays down to rest the physical mechanism of the body becomes quiescent. The physical functions slow down, but the astral form, or Soul, or Ego, or Atman, does not rest in the body but goes out of the body into the astral plane. One can liken it to this; when one goes to bed one takes off one's day clothes and lays aside the day clothes. In the same way the astral body lays aside the flesh body as we lay aside the clothing of the day. It is worth noting that there are various planes, or stages, of the astral world. One can do astral travelling and travel from one's country of origin to various parts of the physical world; One can go from England to Australia, or anywhere else!. It depends what one has to do when one uses one's astral time. A person who is very evolved and perhaps living his or her last life on Earth, is always busy in the astral, and more evolved a person, the farther he travels in the astral.

2.3 CITY OF NINE GATES

Many occult of metaphysical books refer to city of nine gates. It is a device to thwart those who try to scan through occult literature without having a genuine interest, without having a genuine knowledge of the subject. It is a device to blind the superficial, the unevolved, the curious. The City of Nine Gates is ofcourse the physical body which has nine openings, two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, etc. The other openings need not be detailed, as you all should know them!. Through each of the nine gates, can come enemies which will stultify one's progress. For example, a very good man can be tempted by 'the enemy' entering through his eyes; he may see some sight which stimulates his wrong desires, desires which he thought he has overcome.

2.4 DREAMS

Explanations are given later on. Keep on reading!.

2.5 ELEMENTALS

Most people are horribly confused about the Elementals. Actually Elementals are a type of thought form which have sort of half life of their own, a form of life brought into being by humans. So that one may easily understand it, let us say that we have a magnet and the magnet represents the human. Then let us say that we bring the magnet near a piece of iron. Immediately the iron becomes magnetized to some lesser degree, and so it represents the elemental. Elementals are formed from etheric substance which was the origin of all complex forms. All the random thoughts of people 'magnetise' etheric substance which gives rise to Elementals -- Elementary beings. IT SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR THAT MANY PEOPLE GO TO SEANCES AND BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE CONVERSED WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE DEAR DEPARTED AUNT MATILDA, HAVE REALLY BEEN THE VICTIM OF A HOAX BY SOME ELEMENTALS. ELEMENTALS ARE IRRESISTIBLY DRAWN TO SEANCES BECAUSE IT GIVES THEM A CHANCE TO PLAY A JOKE ON HUMANS. ELEMENTALS ARE AS MISCHIEVOUS AS MONKEYS, AND POSSIBLY EVEN MORE BRAINLESS THAN MONKEYS. ONE OF THE GREAT DANGERS OF GOING TO SEANCES IS THAT ONE MAY BE COMPLETELY DELUDED BY THESE THOUGHT FORMS. In addition to Elementals, of course, there are Nature Spirits but they are most benevolent. One is indeed blessed if one can converse or see nature spirit or guardian angel as they are commonly known!. People who know them as guardian angels, they will appear as such because they won't shock anyone. People who know their true nature, they appear in their own natural form which is even more pleasant.

2.6 FEAR

ONE OF THE GREATEST DANGERS IN ANY FORM OF OCCULT STUDY IS OF BEING AFRAID. IN THE EAST, TEACHERS TELL THE PUPIL, 'fear not for there is naught to fear but fear'. FEAR CORRODES OUR ABILITIES FOR CLEAR PERCEPTION. IF WE ARE NOT AFRAID, NOTHING WHATEVER CAN HURT US OR DISTURB US. THERE FOR -- FEAR NOT. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT WHEN ONE IS DOING ASTRAL TRAVELLING THERE IS NO NEED FOR FEAR. ELEMENTALS OR ASTRAL ENTITIES CANNOT HURT ONE, BUT IF WE ARE AFRAID, WELL, OUR FEAR UPSETS US-- UPSETS OUR DIGESTION, FOR INSTANCE. AGAIN, LET IT BE STATED THAT NO ONE CAN BE HARMED IN THE ASTRAL EXCEPT BY ONESELF, THAT IS BY GETTING FRIGHTENED AND RUSHING BACK WITH SUCH A THUNK THAT ONE BECOMES DISASSOCIATED FROM THE BODY. IF YOU COME BACK INTO THE BODY WITH A SHOCKING JERK AND GET A HEADACHE AFTER IT, THE REMEDY IS SIMPLE. --REST AGAIN AND GO TO SLEEP SO THAT YOUR ASTRAL BODY CAN LEAVE AND RESETTLE IN THE CORRECT LOCATION IN THE PHYSICAL BODY.

2.7 Ghost

That eerie thing which swishes around in the night with a few creaks and groans, and which causes the hair on our heads to stand straight up, is HARMLESS !. A ghost is just an etheric force which wanders about according to the habits of it s previous owner, until eventually that etheric force, that etheric double, is dissipated. A strong healthy person who is suddenly killed by perhaps extreme violence , has a very strong etheric. If a person is being attacked, then he or she focuses the etheric into a strong entity. If, then, the silver cord is suddenly severed in that process which we call death, the astral body goes off, the physical body decays, and the poor etheric becomes a homeless, mindless, wandering waif. Through out the whole life of the body, the etheric has been modelled on that body, it is a habit pattern of the body. So if the body was in the habit of going to a certain place, or thinking of certain people, then the etheric will do likewise until perhaps during the centuries the power becomes dissipated, and eventually vanishes. The etheric body is the one which attends seances and gives so called messages from beyond the grave. It is quite a tragedy really because people on Earth should realize that when we leave this world we have other things to do, and cannot always, and do not want always, to get in touch with people left behind. The etheric, or ghost, is a thing of no moment and should be disregarded.

Supposing you were in some city and very busy with some special task requiring concentration, would you like it if some person kept on phoning you from some other city, kept phoning you and asking you all sorts of stupid questions ?. You would soon get tired of the whole thing. In the same way, the real entities, whom, if you like, you can call souls, do not like being disturbed, they have so much else to do.

2.7 OVERSELF

There is a lot of confusion about ego, soul , overself, all the rest of it. Well, let us remember that we here are a puppet. The overself is the soul, the super-ego, the super being, the overseer, the one who manages us from some distant plane of existence. The Overself is the real I . Many people have claimed that they have originated the word Overself, but actually it comes form a very old Tibetan word which indicates loosely, The man in charge above . So when you think of yourself down here, you should think of yourself as a puppet dangling on the end of a string, the string which is the Silver Cord, trying to carry out the wishes of the Man in Charge Above. If you are very erudite you may like to have the Sanskrit name; in Sanskrit the Overself is termed the Adhyatma, and in Sanskrit is the whole nucleus, the whole power,the whole fount of existence; it is the point from which all feeling, all senses, everything about us, originates, and to which everything about us returns.

2.8 PLANES OF EXISTENCE ( puppets )

Many people are not able to understand what they are and why they are. They wonder why such an all powerful person as the Overself shall be constrained to deal with just one poor puny little human. Well, it is not so simple as that!.

The overself is like a puppet master. Just as the manipulator of puppets can manage the strings of several puppets at once, so can the Overself manage the Silver Cords of quite a number of different people. A person can be in England and have another person in Africa, Australia, or even on another planet; they can all be under the control of the same Overself. We might say that these are like inhabitants of parallel worlds, because according to some beliefs everything that has ever happened, and is ever going to happen, has a common denominator. The past, present and the future are one. It is like being on the ground in a street, you cannot see round the corner, and so that which is coming round in the corner is in the future to you. But if you go up in a helicopter you can see that which is approaching the corner, so you can see the future clearly.

Throughout history there have been cases where men or women have suddenly been possessed , and have done things for they were normally quite unfitted. Consider the case of Joan or Arc : Here there was a young girl who spent a lot of time alone, it was stated that she heard voices, and those voices exhorted her to lead her country. She did so, she became as a man, wearing armor, leading men into battle. Do you know what really happened ?.

Here it is. The string of the puppets became entangled with a person perhaps in another country, perhaps on another planet, who has to do certain things. Joan rationalized and made the voices say the things which applied to her own conditions. One cannot help wondering what happened to the young man who was going to lead his country ?. I'll leave that for you all to wonder!!!!!.

2.9 SILVER CORD

Just as the new born child is connected to it s mother by the umbilical cord, so are we connected to our overself by the Silver Cord. Just as the puppet is connected to the puppet master by a bit of string, are we connected to our puppet master, by the Silver Cord. The Silver Cord has it s name because being composed of rapidly rotating particles of all the colours in existence, it appears to be silver. The myriad colours reflect to the clairvoyant as a pure bluish white silver.

This cord is infinitely extensible, and it has no limitation. When a person is doing astral travelling, the inner body separates from the outer sheath of flesh and floats away and the end of the Silver Cord in much the same way that you can let a kite up at the end of a cord. When the physical body demands the astral body, latter is reeled in just the same way as a kite is reeled in. Everything that we do on Earth is transmitted to the Overself by the way of the Silver Cord. Anything the overself want s to tell us is transmitted downwards to the sub-conscious where the information is stored until we want it, transmitted downwards by the way of the Silver Cord. An umbilical cord is very complex indeed but when compared to the Silver Cord, it s just a small piece of string and nothing more.

3.0 Dreams : What are They ?.

This is one the most misunderstood subjects of all. As I have read in the articles in the news groups about people talking about different types of dreams. R.E.M sleep, this or that!.

Because of a Western Mans conditioning, Western Man can rarely believe in astral travelling and such things, thus it is that when the astral body rejoins the physical body complete with a lot of most interesting memories, the physical body rejects the story and alters it to fit the facts which are acceptable to Western Training. Thus a person who has met another in the astral world and discussed various courses of action, will say in the morning, "Oh, I dreamed of So and So last night. He was in a bad temper. Wonder what it means ? ". I am pretty sure many of you have had this and many other things too!. Like being completely naked in front of a whole group of people in the shopping centre!. Or floating above on some cold water!. There are many many things!. Some dreams are of course caused by eating too much or too richly before going to bed, but that is a mere disturbance of the body functions and cannot be taken seriously. In this case, the lower mind and the emotional mind get together and set aside the reasoning part of the mind.

3.1 What Can You Do ?.

You can write some thing like this : I will remember all my dreams as they are when I wake up. Repeat this three times before going to bed. You can make you own mantra and repeat it yourself if you don t like this one. And then before sleeping every night, say it three times to yourself. Do this every night before falling asleep and you'll find out that you will remember the true experiences of the astral world rather than a rationalization of what really went on. This would enhance your abilities to remember the experiences and later on, you may go on to actually doing astral travelling fully conscious!. If you'd like to stop here , you can do so. For people who are interested genuinely to investigate this subject of astral travelling, they can employ the above technique in conjunction with other stuff. You all then can read on and get the most out of this document. Let me remind you again that there is no fast and easy solution and neither we can pay anyone to do this for us. If you want a fast solution, try those 1900 numbers and get your bank balance down. if not, read on.

3.2 Is Astral Travelling for You ?.

For people who want to go and spy on others in the astral, thinking that you can get away with it, then I suggest that you have the least priority to do astral travel. This is one reason why you shouldn't do it!. One cannot go out and spy on people, or invade other peoples privacy. If you want to go to so and so s place and look at this daughter undressing, then there is another thing coming for you -- The Police!. If you are trying to harm people in the Astral, that s another reason not to do it. One must have pure motives to do astral travelling. If one doesn't have pure motives, then you are bound to run into those Elementals and most probably get possessed by them. If they do that, then your body will surely have quite a beating. Imagine one lunatic using your body and jumping off a cliff. That lunatic will derive pleasure but your body will be the one that suffers!. You can go to a library, read books and look around the Earth. Of course you can always go into the Astral Planes but we'll come to that later. One can visit a friend anywhere in the world or visit any one else. That is, if you preplan it, you' ll be able to meet that person in the Astral. You can do your business deals in the Astral and discuss matters there. That is allowed. We'll you won t be able to lie or deceive in the astral so trying to scam other people off their money would really SHOW UP!. Oh, if you are just married, wait for a while before you start doing it. Newly weds are normally busy with some other matters of life. ( smile ).

Now if you have decided that you don t have any bad motives, then you can read on. Because in order to do Astral Travelling, one must have his or her goals defined so that it will be easier in the beginning as a starting point. Because your sub-conscious will be already aware that you will be doing Astral Travelling and that your motives are these. We are severely handicapped because an average person is only 1/10 conscious and 9/10 sub-conscious. So we have to make sure that our other 9/10 is aware of what we want to do and it can help with it. Because it has a direct connection with our Overself.

4.0 Method(s)

Astral travelling is the simplest of things, so simple that is surprising that people cannot do it without trying. But we must remember that walking is simple. Suppose you have a sponge, an ordinary big bath sponge will do, and then you call it the body. Suppose you fill the holes of in the sponge with a gas which clings together. That is, it doesn't disperse like most gases do, it hangs together like a cloud. Well, this gas you can call the astral. It is now in the sponge, so you have one entity inside another. The sponge representing the body, and the gas filling the otherwise empty spaces in the sponge and representing the astral body. If you shake the sponge you may dislodge the cloud of gas. Under controlled conditions the astral body jumps free.

The best way to prepare about astral travelling is to think about it. Think about it very seriously from all aspects, because as you think today so you are tomorrow, and what you think about today, you can do it tomorrow. Ask your self why do you want to do astral travel. Ask yourself honestly.

What really is your reason ?. Is it merely idle curiosity ?. Is it so that you can spy on others, or do you want to fly through the night and peer into bed rooms ?. Because if that is your objective you would be better off without astral travel. You must be sure that your motives are right before you do astral travel, or even before you try to do astral travel.

Then having assured yourself that you motives will stand the strictest inspection, prepare the next step. When you go to bed alone, make sure you are not tired. Make sure that you are fresh enough, that you can stay awake. Everyone can do astral travel, but the majority of untrained people fall asleep in the process which is very annoying indeed!. So go to bed before you are tired and rest in any way comfortable. For girls or women, don t worry about the woman like posture. You can be rest assured, if you are alone, any posture that is very comforting and relaxing will do. Think that you are moving out of your body. Let yourself become completely relaxed. Have you a tension in your big toe ?. Does your ear itch ?. Have you an ache in the small of your back ?. Any of these will indicate that you are not truly relaxed. You must be truly relaxed, just as a sleeping cat is relaxed. And having been quite sure that you are relaxed, , imagine that something is coming out of your body. Imagine that you are the gas seeping out of your body. You might experience a little tingling sensation, you might hear some short, sharp crackles, or you may get pins and needles in the back of you neck. Fine!.

That means you are coming out. Now be very very sure that you can keep still. It is utterly necessary that you do not panic, it is absolutely vital that you do not feel fear because panic and fear will slap you back in the body and give you quite a fright. It will also effectively prevent you from consciously astral travelling for about three months. Astral travel is normal. It is utterly , utterly safe. No one can take over your body, no one can harm you, all that can happen is this; if you are frightened unpleasant entities will smell or see the colour of fright and will with the greatest of glee try to frighten you more. They cannot hurt you, they cannot hurt you at all., but it does give them great pleasure if they can frighten you so much that you are chased back into your physical body. There is no secret in astral travelling. It just needs confidence. It just needs the firm knowledge that you are going to do astral travel while you are fully awake. And the best way to start about it is to imagine that you are travelling, imagine that you are out of the body. This word, imagination is badly misused. Perhaps it s better to say picture . So picture yourself leaving your flesh body, picture yourself gradually inching out of your flesh body and floating inches above the recumbent flesh body. Actually picture yourself doing it, actually form the strong thoughts that you are doing it, and sooner or later you will do it. You will find, with the greatest amazement, that you are floating there, looking down upon padded, whitest green, flesh body. Probably it will have its mouth open, probably it will be snoring away because you are out it doesn't matter at all if your flesh body goes to sleep. Because if you get out of your body while still awake, you will remember the whole experience.

This is what you have to imagine!.

You are resting completely relaxed on your bed in any position which suits you provided you are comfortable and relaxed. Then you think of yourself, slowly edging out from the flesh covering, from the flesh body, slowly edging out and rising and floating a few inches or a few feet above the flesh body. Do not panic even if you do get a few sways and tilts because YOU CANNOT BE HURT. You cannot be hurt at all, and as you are floating you cannot fall. When you have got to that stage, rest awhile. Just keep still, you don t need to feel panic nor triumph, just rest peaceably for a few moments. And then , if you think you can stand the shock, and depending on what sort of a body you ve got, gaze down on the thing you have left. It looks all lopsided, it looks lumpy and heavy, it looks an untidy mess. Well aren't you glad to get away from it for the time being ?.

With that thought, you should take a look at the world outside. So will yourself to rise, will yourself to float up through the ceiling and through the roof. No!. You won t feel anything, you don t get a thump or a bump or scrape or a jar!. Just will yourself to float up, and picture yourself so floating. When you get through the roof stop when you are about twenty or fifty feet above and look about you. You can stop by thinking that you are stopped. And you can rise by thinking that you are rising. Look about you, look at your surroundings from a viewpoint that you have never seen before so far as you can remember, get used to being out of the body. Try floating around the block. It s easy!. You just have to tell yourself where you are going, and you just have to tell yourself how fast you are going, that is, do you want to go along slowly as if blown by the breeze, or do you want to go there instantly ?.

If you have strange tickling in the back of your neck or having the feeling that you have no power to move, or looking through a red tunnel with a glimmer or fell out of the body, then these are perfectly ordinary normal symptoms. These occur when you consciously get out of your body for the first time. These are good signs. Signs that you are able to astral travel consciously. Only fear can cause you any real difficulty. Everything else can be overcome. When you get some tickling sensation it means that your astral body is actually freeing itself from the physical body, and for some particular reason the progress is causing a tickle which is, after all, some slight form of irritation. It just means that you have not been doing astral travel very often, because with practice the separation of the two bodies becomes easier and easier.

The biggest thing to fear is fear itself, because all things are perfectly ordinary. There is nothing at all unusual in them. But if you are going to give way to panic, well, you can come straight back into the body with a real clunk , and if you come back in misalignment, then you'll have a sick headache for the rest of the day, until you go to sleep again and relocate your astral in the physical. It sometimes happens that one gets slightly out of the body and then a swaying motion is experienced. That s all right, too. It just means you have not learned how to handle the astral body properly. You can think of it as a person learning to steer a motor car. You get in the wretched thing and give the wheel a turn , a turn too far!. So you turn the other way, as you find you are turning too far that way. So you progress in a sort of S curve until you learn to manage the steering properly. It is precisely the same with the astral. You start emerging from the body and then, when are a few inches out, you sort of loose your nerve, you do not know how to get it out a foot, two feet, etc. And so you stay there swaying. The only thing to do is to visualize yourself as OUT.

This no doubt is a repetition to you. Deliberately it is a repetition because you need to get this firmly established that astral travel is quite normal and quite easy, and not at all dangerous. The only thing to fear is of being afraid. And you need only fear being, afraid it puts back your progress. It s like locking on the brakes hard. Once you are in a state of fear you are not in control of yourself and your body chemistry gets jangled. SO DO NOT BE AFRAID, BECAUSE THERE IS NO CAUSE WHATSOEVER TO FEAR ANYTHING IN THE ASTRAL. If still there is something else bugging you, lets see!.

First of all, do you sleep alone ?. That is in your own room ?. Because if you share a bed with someone else then you may find it a bit difficult. There is always the fear that another person turning over will disturb one s astral flight. So , while initiating astral travel, you should be always alone, quite alone in your room. One cannot, for example, easily practice astral travel when one lives in barracks with lot of other men or a lot of other women. Nor can you easily start astral travel if you have just been married!. You have to be alone, you have to keep your mind on astral travel and then you can do it.

Impatience will cause a lot of problem. Once again, there is no 30 day stuff that can be used to propel one into the astral or some astral kit which you can have that will instantly get you out and you can do what you like!. It doesn't work that way in the occult. You have to have patience and always be relaxed. Take your time and progress at your own pace. If it s not impatience then the next great fault preventing one from getting into the astral state is over -tiredness. People flap about all day, rushing about like a hen with it s head chopped off., dashing to the cinema or to the supermarkets and cavorting around the country. Then, when they are nearly dropping with tiredness, they get in bed and think they will do astral travel. Well, they do, but they are so tired that they go to sleep and forget all the travelling, or rather forget all the experiences of that travel. Make no mistake about it, you do astral travel when you are asleep, the trick is to stay awake and do it, and it is just a knack which one has to acquire as one gets the knack of breathing.

The third main course of failure to do astral travel consciously, is CONSTIPATION!.

If you are constipated you are usually so gloomy that the poor wretched astral form is imprisoned in a congested lump of clay. Constipation is the curse of civilization, and perhaps as it is so important for our astral travel studies that one be not constipated. So make sure you are not the victim of constipation and if possible, clean your stomach with anima so that you are all clean inside and there is nothing dragging your astral down!.

5.0 The Joys of Astral Travels and Some things you can do!.

Everyone knows that many people say , This problem -- I can t deal with it now, I'll sleep on it. I shall have the answer in the morning. Well, that's fair enough, because people with problems take the problem into the astral world an if they cannot solve it themselves, then there is always some one available who can. And then if they can t do conscious astral travel, they still come back with some memory of how the problem can be solved. Many highly successful businessmen use astral travel consciously or unconsciously. This is how it works; a man who is very successful at interviewing decides that he has a very tough person to see on the morrow. So when he is in bed he goes through his routine and talks to himself, and says that he proposes to say to his prospect when he meets him tomorrow. He anticipates the objections and arguments of the prospect and he refutes them as he lies there in bed. The he falls asleep.

His astral has got the idea and when the physical body is asleep the astral gets out and goes in search of the body, or the astral, of the prospect, and tells the prospect what is going to be said on the morrow and also tells the prospect what action the latter should take. One the morrow at the interview the two greet each other like old friends, they are sure they have met before. They find they are getting along famously, and the successful interviewer puts over his points to the prospect and really does get the action desired. It is simple, highly successful, and entirely legitimate. So if you want success in business or love -- well go in for astral travel. You get you word in first. You get the action you desire firmly implanted into the prospects mind.

And once you are out of the body, you can always return to your body. When you are coming back from your astral you see your flesh body lying there on the bed, usually in a contorted attitude. Eyes, shut, mouth open, limbs in wild abandon perhaps, and you have to get into that body. Visualize yourself lowering and lowering, and lowering. Oh!. So gently. Then when you are just barely out of contact, put your own limbs in precisely the same attitude as that of the physical body. And then let yourself be absorbed into the body like moisture being absorbed by blotting paper. You are in the body ( it s a cold and clammy thing indeed ) but you are in and there has been no shock, no jerk, no unpleasantness. But supposing you are clumsy and you got in with a awful jerk. Then you'll find that you ve got an awful headache, you'll find you feel sick. There is only one thing to do -- no medicine, no drugs, will help you at all. There is only one possible cure and it is this; You mist lie still with your feet together and your hands together, and you must let yourself go to sleep even though it be for a few moments only -- go to sleep so the astral body can ease out of the physical body and then sink down and relocate exactly. When it is relocated exactly you have a sense of well being and no headache.

6.0 Acknowledgement

I acknowledge a particular author whose books I have used to write this article for the use by every day people who don t have the money to buy books or are confused with the whole matter of dreams which is really astral travelling. This author, now passed on to another plane of existence, was a great man, a great Guru and one of the wonderful people who had a genuine concern for the spiritual advancement of mankind. He never did anything for self gain nor to harm anyone. I have learnt my lessons from this person and I hope others will also benefit from this article. I am not mentioning the author here nor I am mentioning my real name because of fear of persecution by people who know no better.

6.2 Reasons for Writing this Document

The reason I have written this document was the fact that I saw that so many people were talking about dreams and having all the wrong ideas about it. As to what they really are. Terms like Lucid , etc etc. There is no need for all these big terms which mean nothing. People who invented these terms are surely making a lot of money by telling everyone , that can be done easy, as that which can be done by only reading their particular books. I have seen on the Internet books from many people. Books like Astral Travelling in 30 days . There is no fast way of doing this. One has to have patience always in these matters.

Dreams, as I have explained, is another name for astral travelling for people who have been taught like that. From time of birth, the Western people are told that dreams are just a figment of their imagination!. That s they are not true. But as I have seen, many people are realizing that there is more to this dream . People always wanted to find out what their dreams really meant. I hope I have shown them a little stair case to a world of the spiritual. A world where we always go when asleep, even if we cannot remember anything when awake!.

This document is trying to change that, and wants everyone to experience the wonderful.
