Background
Here we have the method, although as I have explained it does not account for all that is happening
A description of the experience
Practical Astral projection - Yram
It is essential to realise the serious nature of the undertaking. In olden times the neophyte was prepared for this mystery by years of arduous training and, even then, all were not successful. Now, try to imagine the brutal transition, the radical change, which you will experience on the day when you find yourself separated in two parts yet in full possession of all your faculties. I must, as in duty bound, warn you that the difference between the reality and the illusions which are taught us by present day civilisation, brings about an extremely violent reaction. It is for this reason that the first of our principles is to be in good health, without any illness or other organic trouble.........................
............................Patience is now the quality which must come into its own………. remember that a higher Love-Principle, chosen as an Ideal, forwards the work to an incredible degree, and with a minimum of effort. Psychism being the order of the day, everyone knows its methods. The essential points for study are:
-
The power to concentrate one’s thoughts on a single object without being distracted by outside stimuli;
-
The practice of rhythmic breathing
-
Nervous and muscular relaxation
-
And finally the ability to suspend thought completely
This last exercise called "withdrawal" by some, and "going into the silence" by others, sums up the waiting period necessary before any phenomenon dealing with the fourth dimension can be expected
