Distribution



The knowledge that is in this book is just as free as the air you breathe right now, if you want to

Preface



The book/compilement you now are reading now is a book about astral projection/out of body

experiences. The book is divided into three main sections: basics of AP (astral projection), advanced &

theories and philosophy/spirituality. The two latter sections are the main reasons why this book has been

written. In the first section though, I simplify everything that AP is about so that it can be read by

anyone, I also simplify things because I think that many authors make things look more complicated than

they are. If you want a clearer definition of the sections please skip to their introductions. In this book I

try to speak a common and more practical ”language”, so that everybody can understand. I do this

because I have read many texts as a newbie where I have found it hard to understand just what the

author is trying to conclude. This book is mainly for those who have just found out about AP and are

interested in it, however, veterans will also find the theories and philosophies that I have written

interesting. The reason why the book got written in the first place was beacause of me and my friend´s

many discoveries about AP that we have never read about anywhere else, or are not commonly talked

about. The first section is basically just an introduction to AP.

Most of this book is written on the basis of my personal experience.

(The text in this book highlighted with light-blue are important notes)



Special thanks

I just want to give my thanks to all of the things and people that made me write this little book.

First of all, thanks to Ankou (it´s a pseudonym) for getting me into AP in the first place, for

supporting me in my progress and also for correcting the spelling in this book. Thanks to Peter for giving

me advice about AP. Minttu for being open minded and listening to what AP is. She was also one of the

first things that made me think about writing this compilement in the first place. And last but not least, all

the people at www.astralsociety.com for helping me in my progress.

Well... how did I get into AP? To make a long story short, the dawn of my ”AP career” took place only

about two or three years ago, back then I sort of got into Ouija boards and ghost happenings. One thing

led to another and now I´m mainly an AP dude. I would have lived a completely common life if I never

would have had such peculiar friends as I had back then. But hey, if I could live my life over again, I

would have made the exact same choices as I have done now. You may perhaps think to yourself ”what

kind of dude is this? only two years of experience and already writing a book?”. It may perhaps be seen

as a weakness, but it can also be seen as a strength. You see, I can still remember how I thought when I

first got into AP, when I was a newbie. I still remember how 50% of the info I read here and there on

the net was practically said useless. Much text was hard to understand as a newbie and much text dealt

with such things that I would not have needed to know just yet back then. You know what they say; if

you want to reach the top of a tree, there´s only one place you can start at, and that´s of course at the

bottom. The benefit of still being a bit unexperienced at AP is that I can still speak the same ”language”

as newbies, or so I think.

When I for the first time heard about AP I laughed my ass off. Yet there was also something in

me that made me keep asking ”what if?”... A couple of years went by and then I wrote this

book/compilement. It´s funny when you look back a couple of years from now, alot of things have

happened...

Basics of AP (section 1)





In this section I will go through all the basics of AP, to have an AP for yourself all you really need to do

is to read this first section. I also recommend experienced astral travelers to flip through this section

since there might be something you have missed out in your previous readings.

People often make AP look hard and complicated, there are innumerable techniques to get out

of body that are scattered all over the net, most of them just make the process harder for me... but, may

all find their own way. The first thing you got to learn about this is that text can show doors, but it is you

who has to walk through them. Second thing is to not take everything you read so damn seriously, I

have learned that no matter how much you read, the only thing that can truly teach you is YOUR

personal experience, not anybody else´s. And besides, how do you know that this book is not full of

crap? That´s right, you don´t. So let experience be your main teacher. But then again, you must yet

remain open-minded to others, because there is nothing more sad than a single-minded ”know-it-all”

guy.

Alright, let´s get to the superbasics now.



Definition of the out of body experience (OBE)

This definition comes from parapsychology. It´s kind of a stupid definition in the sense you never know

if it means to be an AP or EP, all you know is that it seems that you have gotten out of your body.



Definition of a lucid dream (LD)

This definition comes from psychology. You will read more about the lucid state in the second section,

but all you need to know now is that a lucid dream is basically when all of a sudden you realize that you

are dreaming in a dream. In other words, you become aware in a dream.



Definition of astral projection (AP)

The definition comes from the occult idea of it, you project the mind into the astral dimension as it is

said. I prefer to use this definition since it is only two letters, and yet it says so much. When people

commonly speak about AP the definition of it is that they leave their body and enter the astral (where

everything is a little weird, more on that below)

So, how does a typical AP occur? Well, after deep relaxation your consciousness shifts and all

of a sudden you can get out of your body. When you leave your room or whatever you may notice that

everything is not as it´s supposed to be, e.g. doors may be where they are not in the physical dimension,

your house may look a bit different, animals sometimes talk, you can fly, move items with the power of

your mind and much much more... This wonderland experience is indeed an experience that truly blows

your mind at first. I have no idea how a total newbie takes this idea as it is only text yet, it´s gotta be

pretty wild huh? It can be debated a lot about just what an astral projection is, it seems of course to be

a hallucination at first, but when people start meeting each other on the astral plane the whole concept

gets more complicated. I will talk more of this in the second section. If you have never AP´d I suggest

you don´t think about the astral too much until you have had an AP for yourself, because you see, text is

in itself nothing, it is experience that you want as stated before (but of course, text works as a key to

experience). When I first started to AP my view of the astral changed totally, that was because text had

given me the wrong view in the first place, but I guess no text can truly describe the feeling of the astral.

It´s of course debated what the difference is between an AP and an LD. In an LD you are

already on the astral or on the otherside or whatever you like to call it, and so you become aware there,

you go from unaware to aware. But in an AP you are going there fully aware at all times. But, being

there is basicly the same. My little theory is that AP is sort of a wake induced lucid dream. A wake

induced lucid dream (WILD) is just what it sounds like, you can make up your own scenarios and so

forth. But in an AP you don´t think of any scenarios, you just relax, and when the time comes you are in

another state of awareness, and the only scenario that your mind can chew on is your room, and that

scenario becomes the LD.

Practically speaking though, it can be said that becoming lucid while dreaming is sort of still a bit

of a blur, when you go to the astral directly from an awake state everything is generally much clearer,

i.e. an AP is like a really lucid LD (the definition of the lucid state can be found in the second section in

Flake´s theory). If I really get into the subject I can say that generally LDs feel like everything is just a

hallucination that is made up by your mind while APs feel more real. One can ponder and argue about

those kinds of things alot, what is real? Is it real? But let´s not get into any theories here in the first

section, OK?



Definition of etheric projection (EP)

This is when you leave the body and still remain in almost the same physical vibrational state as in the

physical plane as it is said. To make it simpler, think of it as you being a ghost wandering around in the

physical, nobody normal (non psychic individual) sees you though. EP occurs mostly accidentallly,

however Robert Bruce (famous OBE author) has an idea of how EP can be done manually, I will talk

about that in the second section.

Well, one might ask how do you know whether you are in the astral or in the etheric plane while

having an OBE? Well, the etheric plane (which you are on when you do an EP) seems much like the

physical while the astral has another feeling to it, a feeling that resembles more the feeling while you

dream. There is a certain feeling in the physical and another different feeling in the astral, I know this

from experience. You can tell from the feeling where you are. When you have succeeded with both AP

and EP you will know the difference. Also, it´s usually hard to move in the etheric, the astral is sort of

like swimming in water while the etheric plane is like swimming in mud. It is also said that it´s possible to

see ghosts in the etheric since you are in a bit higher vibrational state

To make everything easier, try to think of a coin, on one side you have the astral, and on the

other side you have the physical. On the edge is the etheric, because that´s just how it is... well, actually

the etheric is sort of an ”add-on” to the physical. It is the physical, just in a bit higher vibration, that´s

why you can see both ordinary (real) people and ghosts. However, the dimensions are still like a

rainbow in the sense that the colors (dimensions) melt into each other, so there is no really clear line

between the etheric and astral.

I´m not going to say any much more about how an LD/AP/EP feels like (at least not here at the

first section) because that is the most common failure many AP authors do. You see, if I try to explain it

to you, you will probably get the wrong idea, just as I did once. Therefore I conclude that your personal

experience is the only thing that can truly teach you what it feels like... How many times have I said this

now?



How to AP



There are spontaneous APs and APs induced by will. A spontaneous AP can happen to pretty much

anyone, you don´t have to be into the subject or anything, the reason why nobody talks about it is of

course because you are labeled as ”mad” by people who don´t know much about it. And most of the

people know of course nothing about AP. However, the possibility to have an LD without knowing

anything about it is even more common by people, and again, it is not talked about often.

Anyway, by spontaneous AP I mean that it happens ”accidentally”, or ”it just comes by itself”.

90% of the time it happens is in the morning. Spontaneous projections are usually more common than

projections induced by will. Here´s a typical spontaneous AP:



-”I wake up as I am sleeping, my body is asleep while my mind is awake...”, It feels as if though I

am awake and yet not. Everything is black behind my eyelids, a weird buzzing/rushing sound is in

my ears, I then leave my body.



It is as simple as that. But what was that weird buzzing sound?



The buzzing sound

This sound comes usually before you separate from your physical body, the sound itself is hard to

describe, the best way to say it would be as a buzzing/rushing sound, a bit like a waterfall... You will

know the sound when you hear it. The sound is very handy in the sense that it tells you when you can

leave. When you hear it, simply get out. But whatever you do, don´t get afraid or excited when you hear

it. Just let go (that can be a hard thing to do for a newbie, don´t get angry if you fail the first times. If you

do get angry/frustrated (which is a part of APing) it will just make it harder to AP another time).

However, sometimes you may not hear the sound at all before you leave. Another sensation one

can feel just before leaving the body is the energy feelings, you sort feel like as if your body is filled with

coca cola. These sensations may or may not occur while projecting, but at least for me they are there

most of the times. Often most when I project I get both the buzzing sound and energy sensations.

People also talk about having sensations before APing, while meditating. These sensations are

often (smaller) vibrations as they say. I´m not going to say much about them since I´ve never

experienced any of those. It varies from people to people if you feel vibrations or not.



How to get a spontaneous AP

To get a spontaneous AP you must fill your mind up with AP stuff, you can do this by reading, thinking,

discussing etc. about AP or LD info/stuff (you will find plenty of that on the internet). What you are

doing then is that you are putting an ”AP mark” in the subconscious mind that you have. You will then

start thinking about AP as you sleep, and if all goes well you will trick the subconscious mind to induce

an AP (or make you awake while your body is sleeping as I stated before). The AP will most likely take

place in the morning. Morning is by the way the best time to AP no matter what technique you are using,

it also doesn´t matter if it´s spontaneous or manual (induced by will).

The previous method is useful because it is easy and you get to know what it feels like to AP,

plus that you will get alot of motivation to continue with AP (and motivation is important). This is in fact

the method I used to get my first APs. Ironically I had never heard of the method before, I read it on the

net just after I had ”invented” it. If one starts out the hard way and tries to willingly induce a projection,

my bet is that he will only get frustrated because of all the failures. Do yourself a favor and go the easy

way first, and after that you can start thinking about inducing the AP manually. However, if you meditate

like you have to when you willingly induce an AP you will also increase the quantity of your spontaneous

APs.

Most of my projections today are still spontaneous.



How to get an LD

It is of course possible to get an LD without knowing anything about them, it´s not really that

uncommon, but as I said, people don´t normally go around talking about it. Anyway, I got a couple of

methods here that can help you get an LD.

1. This is similar to the spontaneous AP method, you simply read about the LD´s and let it melt into the

subconscious mind. You will find plenty of info on the net to read

2. Wake up really early, earlier than usual. Then you stay up for about 15 minutes and read, watch TV

or whatever (many say that if you read about about LDs in those 15 minutes the chanses are greater to

get one). After that you go back to bed and sleep, chances are then greater that you will get an LD...

This method also works for spontaneous APs.

3. Do ”reality checks”. With that I mean that you ask yourself (while awake) every fifteen minutes or

half an hour if you are dreaming. If you do this enough times while you are awake you will sometime

hopefully ask yourself the same question while you are dreaming, and so you will become aware in the

dream... One thing though, you might sometime ask yourself in a dream ”am I dreaming?” and then think

”I don´t know... probably not...” and then just keep on dreaming normally. If this occurs then you are

dreaming! You see, you always know when you are awake here in the physical, but you are not always

sure if you are dreaming in a dream. So in other words, if you are doubting if you are in a dream then

you are in one! Keep that in mind.

But sometimes in very extreme situations in life (like being in a car accident or something) you

just might ask the same question ”am I dreaming” while being awake, So it would be kind of stupid just

taking everything too granted and acting like it would be an LD at that situation... So, I would say as a

bottom line that whenever you doubt if you are dreaming you should look back and think of the things

that happened just before the present situation, by doing so you bring logic to the situation and realize if

you are dreaming or not.

There is also the possibility of getting out of body while having an LD, it´s an easy way to AP

and I recommend it for everybody. The procedure isn´t hard, just will yourself to leave your body while

having an LD and so you shall.





How to willingly induce an AP

Get this clear, to get out of your body is an easy task, just as easy as breathing, seriously. The thing that

is hard though, is to get into the state or mood that is required to get out of body. But sometimes you

can find yourself waking up in this mood. The mood is hard to describe but I´ll try to explain. It feels as

if you are the most passive and yet concentrated person in the world, you also feel as if you don´t exist

anymore, and yet you at the same time you feel as if though you exist a thousand times stronger at that

moment than you have ever felt to exist in the physical dimension. It may sound weird but so it feels.

Anyway, if I find myself awakened to this silenced mood in the morning it can take me about five

seconds to get out of body. Now you see how powerful this little ”mood” is. Some might call it trance,

but I don´t care, it is what it is.

However it´s not everyday this happens. Mostly you have to achieve this mood for yourself,

Which is done through meditation. (This mood is not to be confused with the ”awake sleep” thing that

occurs in a spontaneous AP beacause it is not exactly the same)

Now, you will probably find a lot of techniques on how to AP on the internet, my opinion is that

90% of them are too damn complicated. It is no use to make a simple thing such as AP complicated,

but remember, just because it is not a complicated procedure it doesn´t mean that it isn´t hard to do.

The hardest thing is to think simple, is it not?

After regular meditation you will learn to achieve the passive mood, after being deep down in

the mood, the buzzing sound will most likely come and you can leave! It is also actually possible to

accidently slip out of body while in meditation, which can be shocking.



Meditation

This is also something people often tend to make it more complicated than it is. Anyway, here´s how I

prefer to do it.

I lay on my back or sit or whatever. It is easier if I am in a silent place. I just am there thinking

about nothing, yet I am aware all the time and so I loose grip of this world as I like to say. You see,

when you attempt an AP you can´t be thinking about your physical life such as school or friends or

whatever. To AP you must truly master the art of ”letting go”. (AP is not about forcing something, it´s

about letting go)

By ”letting go” i seriously mean it. You got to forget what seeing is, forget what hearing is and

forget all other senses. By doing that you forget what the physical is. Well, actually you just put it aside

for a time. You don´t forget the physical, you just let go of the idea of the physical (which is in your

mind) for a while. And all that will exist when you meditate is the ”nothing” of the moment, embrace that

and you will succeed.

I can be bothered by mainly two things while meditating. One is the outside world (like

somebody talking in the house or some doors slamming...). However when one gets better at ”letting

go” one can ignore those outside stimulis. The second thing that is disturbing is the mind. By the mind I

mean that sometimes (...often) I think of stupid things like what am I gonna do tomorrow and what

about this and what about that....
