A Brief History of Astral Travel. The astral world - what is it and how to see it? astral travel stories

The method of astral visions is based on a solid theoretical basis, although this theory may seem unscientific to some. Its supporters (mainly theosophists and occultists) argue that outside the material world there is a kind of "astral plane", "ether" or "akasha", which contains subtle projections of all earthly bodies ("etheric" or "astral" bodies). There is no time and space in this world, movement in it requires special skills, but those who master these skills will be able to easily receive any information about everything that happens in the material world - in the present, past or future time.
It is not known how true this theory is. but practices based on it usually give good results. In particular, the already mentioned Edgar Cayce unconditionally believed in the existence of the astral plane and successfully used it in his work. Many famous mystics of India and Tibet did the same, including such notables as Ramakrishna and Sri Aurobindo. All techniques of "ascent to the planes" are of Indian origin, but in our conditions they can hardly be used "in their pure form." The European consciousness is more pragmatic and skeptical, while all Indian manuals are designed for people who are simple-hearted and who unconditionally believe in "astral" theories. Therefore, the leading European mystics adapted these manuals for use in their own cultural environment. One of the most intelligible adaptations belongs to the eminent magician and visionary Aleister Crowley. It makes sense to quote it in its entirety, because from the point of view of practice here "neither subtract nor add."

1. Let the student take one of the prescribed postures (in this case, in addition to specific Crowley asanas, yoga asanas and a simple sitting position on a chair, hands on knees are also acceptable), having washed and dressed appropriately (the requirements here are the same as for the technique gaze, mentioned earlier). Let him workplace will be free from everything superfluous; let him make all the preliminary cleansings, exorcisms and invocations, and finally burn the incense.

2. On the way, he imagines his own figure (in the appropriate magical garb and with the proper magical implements) enveloping his entire body, or standing directly in front of him at a fairly close distance.

3. Now let him transfer his consciousness into this imaginary figure, so that it seems to him that he sees it with his eyes and hears it with his ears. This element of the operation is usually very difficult to perform.

4. Now have him make this imaginary figure rise into the air, high enough above the ground.

5. Here let him stop and look around (sometimes it is difficult to open your eyes).

6. Most likely he will see figures approaching him, or he will realize that he is in some kind of landscape. Have him speak to these figures and press them with perseverance, using appropriate pentagrams and sigils (magical signs).

7. If he wishes, he can move in this space, using the guidance of these figures, or without their guidance.

9. But let him be careful and carefully check how truthful those with whom he speaks, for thousands of the most insidious attacks and the most subtle deceptions await him. In particular, hostile beings often appear in robes of glory; but the corresponding pentagram makes them shrink or crumble.

10. Practice will make the student extremely careful in these matters.

11. Returning to the body is usually quite easy, but sometimes some difficulties may arise here. The key to resolving them is, again, practice, which makes our imagination more fruitful. For example, a student may create in his mind a fiery chariot drawn by white horses and order the charioteer to ride inside. It is dangerous to go too far and stop too long, for fatigue is unacceptable. It can lead to weakness, obsession, loss of memory or other mental abilities.

12. And finally, let the student make his imaginary body, in which he seemed to travel, coincide with the physical body; let him tense his muscles, draw in air and put his index finger to his lips. Then he must, by applying a well-defined act of will, "wake up", and then - seriously and accurately describe everything that happened to him.

It should be added here that this experiment, for all its apparent complexity, is quite easy to perform. And yet, the first "journey" is best done in the presence of a person who is sufficiently knowledgeable in these matters. Two or three experiments are usually enough for the student to become familiar with the exercise and even gain some experience.
Questions about magical tools, spells, signs and rituals are discussed in the extensive literature on magic and the occult (in particular, in the writings of the same Crowley). All of them are purely individual and their application depends on the season, the phases of the moon and the overall purpose of the ritual. Astral travel is not as safe as it might seem at first glance, so a novice clairvoyant (in order to avoid problems) needs to enlist the support of a more experienced comrade who has already conducted similar experiments.

Astral travel is very often preceded by a session of hypnosis or self-hypnosis. The fact is that in a hypnotic dream we “go out into the astral plane” much more easily and at the same time we can inform those present about everything that we see there. There is no need to describe the numerous techniques of hypnosis here: they are quite complex and require long-term special training. In addition, hypnotized mediums are not very reliable assistants in the difficult business of clairvoyance. Often they see what the hypnotist wants to see, so that real visions are replaced by imaginary pictures, which, moreover, appear to them under the influence of hypnosis.
Quite another thing is self-hypnosis. It can and should serve as an aid in astral travel. There are examples of spacewalks, thanks to the use of the ancient Indian method of self-hypnosis: you need to fix your eyes on the tip of your nose and repeat the mantra “Om mani padme hum” until the “exit to the astral plane” takes place. But those who want to make such an experiment should be warned in advance about the possibility of experiencing very uncomfortable sensations described by one of the experimenters: “The feeling of cold and infinity was so clear and terrible that I did not dare to repeat this experience.”
You can also reduce your eyes to the bridge of your nose, but in this case, a normal dream can come much earlier than visions come. Carlos Castaneda recommends rolling the pupils or squinting the eyes; in ancient Indian manuals, it is recommended to look at a shiny ball suspended from a thread. You can also achieve self-hypnosis with the help of ordinary autogenic training: this state is somewhat different from hypnotic sleep, but it is also very favorable for astral travel.

Another painful and most difficult method of clairvoyance is based on a completely scientific fact: Some intense bodily inconveniences upset the higher nervous activity of a person and make him predisposed to visions. It is true that physicians call these visions "hallucinations," but no one can deny the fact that in such hallucinations the future is often revealed. Many cases of clairvoyance were associated with a kind of "mortification of the flesh."
The clairvoyants of the East have special ways of achieving such a state. For example, Sufi dervishes use a long rotation around their axis while calling out the sacred names of Allah. To make their visions brighter and more distinct, they drink very strong coffee or smoke hashish: these drugs alone do not promote clairvoyance, but when combined with physical exercises, they often have the desired effect. Something similar (but not with rotation, but with rocking) can be observed at prayer meetings of Shakers, or Pentecostals. And the German writer Hans-Heinz Evers describes a sectarian experiment with a round dance. Ordinary wine served as a stimulant here, but the effect of the group dance was so strong that all those present saw the opened heavens and angels at the same time.
Indian sages know about the magical power of dance, but prefer to use another means. Prolonged breath holding leads to oxygen starvation of the brain and also allows you to achieve visions. This is greatly facilitated by a long stay in one position (yogic asana) in combination with a mantra, breathing exercises and concentration of the gaze. And teachers of many tantric sects prefer long sex without ejaculation: the “erotic coma clarity” achieved in this case also “opens the heavens” and allows you to see the invisible.
The traditional European remedy is long-term fasting (full or partial, i.e. a "lean" diet without proteins and sweets). Christian saints, famous for their clairvoyance, preferred to fast without cleansing enemas, which contributed to additional brain intoxication. Combined with long prayers and meditations that attune the mind to a religious mood, fasting allows you to experience a genuine sacred ecstasy. The same can be said about self-flagellation, which was very common in the Middle Ages, and about stylistics (standing for a long time under the scorching sun and rain in a motionless pose), and about vigils (continuous wakefulness for several days), and about inquisitorial torture.
All of the above methods are good because they quite easily open the door of clairvoyance even to the most unprepared people. Their disadvantage is that they are often accompanied by fear, ecstasy and other strong feelings. Visions obtained in this way are characterized by excessive emotional fullness: they cause either horror or delight, and the seer cannot in any way concentrate on their predictive meaning. In addition, many procedures of "mortification of the flesh" can bring irreversible harm to the physical and spiritual health of the clairvoyant!

Sensory fasting is extremely popular in Buddhist monasteries in Tibet and the Himalayas. Its essence lies in the fact that a person is placed for a long time (at least for several months) in a dark room without windows (sometimes just in a hole covered with a lid). The strongest stress that soon sets in under such conditions can either destroy the psyche of a voluntary prisoner, or endow him with the gift of clairvoyance. In the language of local mystics, this is called "opening the third eye." Sometimes sensory fasting is accompanied by additional procedures that fix "spiritual vision" forever. An adept treated in this way can become not only a soothsayer or diagnostician, but also acquire the ability to telepathy, levitation and visible projection of his visions.

Sensory overload is the exact opposite of the previous one: prolonged exposure to loud rhythmic sounds, flashing lights, monotonous shouts. This method is known to all primitive people and underlies the so-called "shamanic ecstasy", which allows the shaman to make "spiritual journeys to other worlds."
“At night, in the presence of those who want answers from the demons, the shaman begins to utter his spells and, holding a tambourine, strikes it with force on the ground. Finally, he begins to rage, and they begin to knit him. Then the demon appears in the darkness, and the shaman gives him meat to eat, and he gives answers. This quote is at least 700 years old - it is taken from the memoirs of Guillaume Rubruk, who visited the headquarters of Mangu Khan in the middle of the 13th century. But the shamanic ritual has not changed a bit since then, and on the contrary: it has gained popularity among white people who have not been involved in shamanic culture until now. Besides, in Lately“new shamans” have appeared who are trying to translate the “shamanic way” into the language of modern concepts. One of the foundations of this movement was the work of Michael Harner, a former member of the New Institute for Social Research, who received shamanic initiation from the Amazonian Kunibo tribe and was extremely successful in translating the basic elements of shamanic reality into the language of modern science. During the initiation, he was given those visions that people usually have on the verge of death.
At Harner's seminars, one can often hear the sounds of a large leather tambourine, which is used by shamans as a vehicle for traveling to the mythical world. Seminar participants sit in relaxed poses in the dark (or with their eyes closed) and imagine the world tree stretching high into the heavens and deep into the earth. They enter the door at the foot of the tree and move down the main root. The root turns into a tunnel, at the end of which light is visible. Astride the beating of a tambourine, they ride into this luminous mist and call for a guide (animal, spirit or mythical character) to help them explore the area that is about to spread before them. The journey usually lasts about twenty minutes, although sometimes longer. The tambourine then changes rhythm, calling the travelers back; when they return, they try to remember and write down everything that happened to them in as much detail as possible.
Another way of sensory overload is by staring at flashing lights or rapidly rotating objects. In ancient Greece, a potter's wheel with a piece of clay was used for this purpose; modern researchers use a stroboscope (a special flashing light) or a movie projector with a blank storyboard film. This method is quite dangerous: after all, in a person predisposed to epilepsy, it can cause a fairly strong seizure. However, there is evidence that ancient experts would have considered such an outcome the most successful: after all, visions preceding convulsions are often unusually clear and carry a lot of predictive information.
Indigenous Africans prefer to experience all kinds of sensory overload at the same time; in addition, they also dance until they drop, and in addition, they take various psychostimulating or toxic drugs. Rituals of this kind can be extremely effective. But a person who participates in them too often runs the risk of losing the line between real and imaginary and confusing reality with visions. All this should be known to visitors of today's discos, which largely copy African rituals.

Nature offers man many toxic and narcotic substances that can cause visions. However, not all hallucinogenic drugs promote clairvoyance. For example, pseudohallucinations that occur under the influence of hashish, opium, and large doses of cocaine do not carry any predictive information. Yes, and other substances create many difficulties: first of all, working with them requires the presence of an assistant (since it is very difficult to write down one's visions in this state); in addition, they make self-control difficult and “finish” the picture of visions in their own way, often distorting their meaning; and finally, many of them cause unconditional harm to human health.
Since "prophetic potions" have a reputation in certain circles as the quickest and easiest route to true clairvoyance, here is detailed information about what actually happens to people after taking them. Describing the effects of certain substances, for certain reasons, it was decided to exclude from this article the exact medical names of drugs that have a pronounced narcotic effect, and limit ourselves to only mentioning their basics.

1. The drug, the active substance of which is henbane, belladonna and some other wild plants. Intoxication with this drug causes dilated pupils, dry mouth, sometimes nausea and headache. At a certain concentration in the blood, a person may experience visions. Most often he sees missing friends or enemies, strangers or animals; often familiar terrain appears as a mysterious and fabulous landscape, and familiar people take on a different appearance and behave completely differently than they really are. In most cases, hallucinations under the influence of this drug are of a frightening and threatening nature, and the seer tries to defend himself or run away from illusory beings. Experiments with him cannot be carried out in enclosed spaces, since intoxication can cause an attack of claustrophobia. At least one assistant must be assigned to each person who has taken this drug, since under the influence of this drug many are prone to unmotivated aggression and destructive actions. After sobering up, a person, as a rule, does not remember either his visions or actions.
In medieval sources, it is often mentioned that this drug was part of the "flying ointment" that European witches used to fly to the Sabbat. According to the descriptions, this ointment gives rise to a feeling of flight and clear visions. which are perceived as real events. However, there is no reliable information on the use of "flying ointment" in modern conditions.

2. Organic solvents. Inhalation of the vapors of these substances with little access to oxygen provides vivid and varied hallucinations that are visible with closed eyes, and are more reminiscent of dreams or films than genuine visions. These oneirodic effects are most often visualizations of the seer's various fantasies; often they are erotic in nature or echo films seen the day before. It is clear that the predictive value of such visions is very doubtful. In addition, vapors of organic solvents are extremely toxic, and with regular use they very quickly destroy the lungs, liver and other organs involved in their absorption and excretion.

3. A hallucinogenic substance contained in the Canarian canary grass, as well as in the bark of some varieties of acacia (mainly Australian and Latin American). When inhaling a finely ground powder of this substance, extremely intense visions of extraordinary landscapes and creatures arise, which last 15-20 minutes, and then disappear without a trace. What you see is easy to reproduce and write down from memory. The substance breaks down extremely quickly in the human body, but there is a way to prolong its action. It is taken by mouth along with substances that block the action of monoamine oxidase, an enzyme that breaks down the hallucinogenic substance. This combination is called ayahuasca and has long been used by the indigenous people of the Amazon basin. Taking it first causes vomiting or diarrhea, then profuse visions begin, which have nothing to do with either the fantasies of the seer or his personal experience. Example: “I was thrown into a space in which everything seemed to make no sense. The visions with closed eyes were absolutely out of this world, free in form, flowing from one scene to another. I walked through huge sliding doors, flew in spaceships, saw unimaginably difficult and crazy roads and highways, sailed through a space that I can never describe properly. There were creatures, gray things with yellow stripes, like small rodents, and some other serpentine things. And especially the eyes. They looked out from every bend in the road, from every snake, from under the door. But that didn't scare me. I was just wondering what they were all doing here and what they were seeing. My field of vision has also changed a lot. In a normal state, I have time to consider only one object at a time, but here my field of vision was the entire hemisphere, and my body (or rather, my whole being) was a point in this strange universe. The dot had no body, it just floated in this virtual space of the brain. I could receive messages from this virtual hemisphere, but I could not even comprehend it a little. It was too fast, complex and intense." This is how one young American describes his hallucinations, who took ayahuasca just for the sake of experiment. He did not think about the meaning of the visions and did not try to make sense of them; however, it should be said here that the indigenous people of the Amazon themselves consider visions to be a kind of “side effect” and especially appreciate the state of extraordinary spiritual clarity that comes after the end of visions. It is in this state that an experienced ayahuasquero acquires the ability to solve any complex problems, read other people's thoughts, look for hidden objects, diagnose diseases and predict the future.
The production, possession and distribution of this narcotic substance is prohibited by the laws of most countries in the world. However, the legislation does not mention plants containing it.

4. An injectable drug commonly used for anesthesia in gynecological and dental operations. It has a kind of “side effect”: after an injection, a person can see his body from the side, and then for the entire duration of anesthesia he enters the world of bizarre hallucinations that are practically unrelated to his earthly experience. Visions are well remembered and can be written down, but their meaning (including predictive) cannot be interpreted. This geometric patterns, fantastic landscapes and cars, unearthly creatures, etc. It is not known whether anyone has tried to use such a drug for clairvoyance or communication with spirits, but such use seems unpromising, since all hallucinations are quite similar and, apparently, represent only one of the many planes of the astral world. To stop hallucinations, doctors usually administer this drug mixed with barbiturates.

5. Ergot alkaloid, a powerful hallucinogen. Since the 1960s, it has been known in Western culture as a mind-expanding drug. Aldous Huxley, one of the pioneers scientific research of this drug, indicates that the mechanism of its action is similar to the mechanism of classical methods of "mortification of the flesh." The drug dramatically reduces the sugar content in the brain; this, according to Huxley, allows you to open a kind of "reducing valve" that filters the reality perceived by the brain and protects our consciousness from "irrational phenomena."
Another prominent researcher of the drug, Timothy Leary, compares the states of "psychedelic experience" with the classic description of the post-mortem wanderings of the soul in the Tibetan Book of the Dead. In his opinion, the parallels here are so obvious that " Book of the Dead may serve as the best textbook for anyone who wishes to experiment with this drug and other psychedelics. However, it should be noted here that the experience of perceiving the drug in any case is individual and depends on many factors. In some cases, the subject does not observe any hallucinations or sees something like dreams; in other cases, the hallucinations are so vivid that reality looks puppet-like and fake by comparison.
However, hallucinations have nothing to do with clairvoyance. As in the case of ayahuasca, an enlightened and clairvoyant state occurs after the end of hallucinations, and not for everyone. Spontaneous clairvoyance attacks may occur up to two weeks after taking this drug. It is considered extremely dangerous for the psyche: it is noted that it often causes the first attack of schizophrenia or severe psychotic reactions. Manufacture, storage and distribution of this drug is prohibited by the laws of most countries in the world.

6. Active element of Mexican peyote cactus. As listed above, it belongs to prohibited drugs. It has long been used by the shamans of Central America to achieve clairvoyant states. In terms of hallucinogenic action, it is weaker than the others described here, but the enlightened state of the spirit arises earlier and lasts longer than with the above-mentioned drugs. Side effects include severe nausea (especially when taking dried peyote), increased blood pressure and dry mouth.

7. Heating gas used in gas stoves. Currently, it is practically not used, but there are cases in history when intoxication with this gas was used to achieve visionary states. This is, in particular, the famous Delphic oracle. It is known that the temple of Apollo was built on a rift from which gas was coming out, and it was intoxication with this gas that forced the Pythians to prophesy. The side effects of gas poisoning are known to everyone - severe headache, lethargy, dullness, nausea. The gas does not have a hallucinogenic effect and does not give rise to enlightened states. After sobering up, a person, as a rule, does not remember either his visions or actions.

8. The active substance of fly agaric and some other fungi. It is known that fly agaric served as a favorite means of intoxication among the northern peoples and was actively used by shamans. This gave rise to many legends about the "incomparable" psychedelic effect of fly agarics; in particular, the famous American mycologist R. Wasson claimed that it was from them that soma was prepared - the sacred drink of Vedic India. In reality, the drug works like number 1. Nausea when taking mushrooms is more pronounced and lasts about half an hour, then the stimulation phase begins, but hallucinations are rare (the most common form is "flies" before the eyes). At high doses, attacks of unrestrained talkativeness, convulsive and absurd movements, causeless laughter, and a desire for energetic (and often meaningless) activity are observed. Visual disturbance persists (depending on the dose) for several days after ingestion. It is possible that in persons predisposed to epilepsy, this drug is capable of causing convulsive seizures (along with the visions that accompany them). However, this hypothesis requires further verification.

9. Hallucinogenic substances contained in some mushrooms of the genus Psylocybe. The action is almost similar to number 5, but much softer. "Psilocybin" states are easier to manage and control; "lucidity" predominates in intoxication, and hallucinations occur much less frequently. "Magic mushrooms" Psylocybe were used by magicians and clairvoyants in different parts of the Earth. Many have noted their ability to create a "dialogue" with supernatural beings that are either inside our consciousness, or outside the visible world. Often in the course of such a dialogue, important predictions can be obtained, helpful tips and original information on mysticism and the occult. However, these phenomena can be attributed more to the field of spiritualism and necromancy than to clairvoyance. The information received is well remembered and can be recorded both after the intoxication session and directly during the session. The side effects here are the same as in the case of number 5. In addition, frequent use mushrooms (especially when raw) can cause liver dysfunction and non-infectious hepatitis. The collection, storage and distribution of mushrooms containing the active substance is prohibited by the legislation of the Russian Federation. In many other countries, the ban applies only to active substances, but does not apply to the mushrooms themselves.

As can be seen from the above report, intoxication rarely creates favorable conditions for clairvoyance. “The dose of the drug itself does not lead to psychedelic discoveries,” writes Timothy Leary. “The drug works as a “chemical key” - it opens the mind, frees the nervous system from the usual patterns and structures.” To this we can add that often such a discovery leads to a complete loss of interest in the future, so that the need for predictive arts disappears by itself.

From the story of the practice of astral travel, you can draw your own conclusions. Oleg, 25 years old, fell into the astral plane after many attempts. Further, about the astral world, what it is will be told on its behalf.

“I tried for a long time to get out of the body, but all attempts were in vain. Now I understand that this was due to a lack of knowledge.

Getting up early in the morning without an alarm clock, I wandered around the apartment for a while. When I got into bed, all the muscles were as relaxed as possible. After a couple of minutes, I began to see images, various pictures flashed in front of me, but I held on to my mind with all my might and tried not to fall asleep. During one of the images, I decided to stand up. It was difficult to get up, I seemed to roll forward.

I started to feel everything around. I was struck by the reality of feelings. After that I woke up. But now I understood that everything is real, and continued my practices. It is not possible to get out every time, a certain predisposition of the mind is necessary.

Now I sometimes travel to my favorite places, spend this time thinking about certain situations. This helps me to stay more balanced in everyday life and sometimes see how this or that situation will end. I think with practice I will be able to stay there for a longer period. Greater concentration is needed to linger in the astral world"

What is the astral world?

The topic is quite confusing, there are many versions and sources. The astral is an existing place, it is not a dream and not a fantasy of a person. If two individuals enter it at the same time, they will meet each other. In the astral plane, you can move to any point on the planet and in any time period. There you can meet higher and lower beings, dead relatives.

You can go to the future and see what will happen in certain period life. But it is impossible to change something or influence events.

It is not uncommon for a person to lose interest in life after astral travel. It should be understood that the astral plane is just a projection of the entire information field, you cannot live your life there.

Astral travel is the separation of the soul from the body, accompanied by buzzing in the ears, heaviness and other unpleasant sensations. Both when leaving the body and during the journey itself, there will be an unpleasant feeling of fear or anxiety. Often, people who go into the astral do not leave the limits of their room, because of a feeling of anxiety.

astral body

It is not the soul, but the astral body that goes on a journey through the outer worlds. As you know, a person consists not only of the soul and the physical shell. It contains 7 bodies: physical, ethereal, astral, mental, causal, buddhic and atmic. Science has come closest to the astral body at a given moment of time. Perhaps in the near future new opportunities will open up for everyone.

Therefore, do not be afraid not to return or oversleep in the morning. The organism continues its work in full, and after awakening the astral body returns to its place.

If during the journey the body dies, due to illness or someone kills you in reality while you are sleeping, then the astral body will not be able to return back. Therefore, a person in old age or with poor health should not engage in such practices.

Evidence of the astral world

The astral world exists in exactly the same way as the astral body. There are many facts of clinical death, after which people talked about their travels in other worlds.

In the BBC near-death movie, you can see the story of a woman who underwent complex brain surgery. During the operation, she had to be killed, that is, brought into clinical death. But even the death of the brain, the woman, having separated from the body, heard and saw everything that was happening. After telling the doctor about the dialogues that were heard, he confirmed that this was exactly what happened.

Many esotericists in their books confirmed the presence of the astral and have been there themselves, whether it is worth believing them is the decision of everyone.

But the best proof is personal experience, which anyone can get with some effort.

Astral world and mental world

The astral world is a display of images, and the mental world is a reflection of thoughts. They are very easy to confuse. As images differ from thoughts, so these worlds differ from each other.

The mental world is considered a higher level. To get there you have to work hard on yourself. The higher astral is a mental dimension. There is an entrance only to spiritually developed people with high concentration.

It is believed that the higher astral or mental is heaven.

Since the astral world is a kind of projection of our world, it is very similar to our planet. There may be identical cities, countries, there may be small or huge differences. On the lower astral plane, you can change forms by an effort of will, so it is rather difficult to describe this place specifically. One thing is clear for sure - it is very similar to our world.

The lower astral can appear before a person as a figment of his imagination. In the lower astral, you can change the shape of objects, create something new and play with your imagination in every way.

Going into the astral plane, you can move to anywhere in the world with just one thought, all you need is concentration.

You can often hear eyewitness stories about how they saw our planet from the side, while in the astral plane. The destination when entering the astral depends on the level of spiritual development of a person and his desires. He can wake up in his room, in a place from childhood memories, anywhere in the world.

3 ways to see the astral world

The subtle world is interesting to almost everyone, everyone sees dreams and wants to learn a little more about the other world.

There are several exit techniques.

First way

Fall asleep in an uncomfortable position for you. If you sleep on your back, lie on your stomach, or vice versa. The state should be calm, not excited. The mood should be indifferent. If you cling to the idea of ​​getting out, you will never really get out of the body.

Closing your eyes, you need to start peering into the bottomless void. You need to do this until images or pictures appear. After them, vibrations will appear in the body.

At this point, you need to immediately get up. Do not think about how to do it, the main action. If you can’t get up, you can roll from the bed to the floor, it’s easier for many to roll down. This is an important point!

At the same time, people often confuse reality and the astral. Waking up already in the astral plane, they believe that they just got out of bed and lie back down. After that, they already wake up in reality with a sense of a missed moment.

If you miss the vibrations and do nothing, you will fall into sleep paralysis, and this condition is very unpleasant.

Second way

In the evening, lying down in bed, you need to relax and close your eyes. Then, falling asleep, half asleep, you need to raise your hands and see them. In reality, in this case, the muscles will be absolutely relaxed, and the real hand will not move anywhere, the eyes will be closed.

When a fuzzy image appears, you need to rub your hands together with all your might. When the image is clear, you will have to immediately roll out of the physical body.

Third way

Rotation around its own axis. Falling asleep, you need to imagine how your body makes an infinite number of revolutions in one direction or another. The faster the better. The more turns there are, the easier it will be to get rid of the shell. You can alternate all three methods while falling asleep with a cycle of 15 seconds to achieve the best effect.

sleep paralysis

Paralysis occurs during exit from the body in the event that a person could not jump out of the shell in time and got stuck in it.

The body will be paralyzed, there will be fear due to the feeling of being out of control of the body. Otherworldly sounds and perhaps even images will appear. Sometimes there is a feeling of suffocation and terrible fear. At such a moment, you can’t panic, it will only aggravate the situation, you should relax and just wait until the body wakes up.

Sleep paralysis is quite common. There are many legends among different peoples about demons or witches who sit on their chests in the middle of the night and scare people, trying to strangle them. In fact, this is due to the fact that a person woke up during sleep. When we sleep, we experience a condition called muscle atony, which prevents bodily movements and paralyzes the body while we sleep. When we wake up during sleep, we get this kind of sleep paralysis. This state lasts from a few seconds to a couple of minutes.

Is the astral world dangerous?

When the astral body travels through other dimensions, no entity can harm it. Provided that a person has a strong psyche and is not afraid when he sees this or that entity.

Guests from the lower strata also exist in the real world. Invisibly to us, they are attracted to places of accumulation of envy, lust, anger. Gradually, they begin to influence people, making them slaves of earthly pleasures and vices. It should be understood that the subtle world is always present in a person's everyday life. Just because we don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

At the lowest level of the astral plane there are entities of the same level of development as a person. It is impossible in that world to destroy anything or try to harm entities, the consequences can even go into everyday life.

Contact with the astral world

Once on the lowest level, you can meet various entities from myths and legends. From vampires to werewolves. There are also bad souls here who could have sinned greatly during their lifetime. Travelers just like you. Also there you can meet various magicians who travel the worlds in order to study abilities.

The astral has its own laws, but each person sees it a little differently. This is due to the peculiarity of the perception of the world. In our daily life, we also see the world differently.

Feelings and contacts are absolutely real, the fact that the world is invisible does not mean that it does not exist.

If the astral body reaches the highest level, it can be said that it has gone to heaven. But the way up is open only to the brightest and wisest souls, a small number of people have been there.

Astral world of cats and dogs

Everyone heard stories about animals that came to the owner through thousands of kilometers. Or even after death they visited him. This is not all fiction. Animals often travel through the astral worlds and feel much more confident there than people.

After death, animals also enter the astral plane and continue to live there. No wonder the cat is considered a guide to the other world.

Animals can become your companions on your journey through the subtle world. To do this, it is enough to call the astral body of the animal to yourself during the journey. As a rule, this happens easily and without a hitch.

Safety precautions for work and travel in the astral world

A person’s strong faith will act as protection in the subtle world, and his moral principles. Gradually, when a person gets stronger, his strength will increase, and the essences will not have such an influence on his soul.

To avoid consequences, follow the safety precautions:

  1. Do not go into the astral for a long time, until the practices become something familiar.
  2. Do not attack entities, do not destroy the place of residence and do not imagine yourself great. You are just a guest there.
  3. Going into the astral is worth it for people with strong mental health.
  4. You can't be scared. Fear is the only way spirits can harm.
  5. Each entity can be directly asked who it is. Because looks can be deceiving. She has no right to lie, but she can evade or simply hide.

Conclusion

Many people fail to stay in the astral or just get there. You should not be upset in such a situation, they are not allowed into the astral plane mentally weak people, as well as unprepared. In order to get there, you need to have a strong psyche and moral readiness. The consequences of being there can easily affect everyday life. This is a serious and responsible journey where two worlds collide.

Also, only those who really want it get there, who can break through the wall and force themselves, will not be afraid and will be able to survive all the experiences.

Therefore, if the thirst for travel burns in your heart, then you will succeed, the only question is practice and the regularity of its commission.

Tensegrity, meditation, reading mantras and saying affirmations, yoga - what do you choose for yourself? I have always chosen astral travel. Through them, I came to understand the process of meditation and the need to develop spiritually.

There was an experience of calling the spirit of my father, who died in 2006. That fateful séance in 2008 instantly revealed my paranormal abilities.

Once on a blog, I told a story about a séance. You can read:

I am a Cancer and the ability to astral travel is in my blood.

If the zodiac sign is Cancer, then you know what it means to be a very sensitive and subtle nature. Mysticism is in our blood. Some of us were familiar with sleepwalking as children. We Cancers are very impressionable and capable of the occult.

Astral travels have been obtained since childhood, but I did not know at that time that this phenomenon had such a name. Books in the house with the title "How to get into the Astral?" we did not have.

It was strange for me to wake up several times, go to the bathroom and again, and again relive some moments. I saw them. It was not clear to me, but the adults said Deja Vu. My grandmother was pulling me to church when I said that at night I “dream” I talked with deceased relatives.

Now it's funny to remember how the priest said: “It's all from the Devil. Just let him pray."

There are legends among the people that there are normal priests. Really spiritual people. They know and understand a lot. But I haven't met any. Write in the comments, have you met?

One mother understood me a little. In her youth, she was at field trainings on the disclosure of superpowers. I learned to read the minds of other people and get out of the body. She said that she became scared when she separated halfway and saw herself on top of her body.

Children's astral travel

Remember how in childhood we fly in dreams?

We are told: "If you fly in a dream, then you are growing."

There is little logic here. And when we are already adults and grown up, but we fly in a dream - what does this mean? Are we still growing? Funny, is not it.

In childhood, we first encounter our astral body. Let's start learning it little by little. The subtle body grows with you: resentments, joys, vivid impressions and daily emotions.

You get to know emotions and reveal your feelings. At the same time, the astral body develops and shapes you.

I was shaped good books, music lessons and people around. I've always been picky. She let a few into her world and not all.

Once I fell asleep, saw how I separated from the body and went for a walk on the street. I woke up my friend Kolka and we flew out into the street - into our yard. And then I hear my mother’s voice: “Julia, dotsya, get up. Wake up." I did not understand how to wake up if I was already awake. I was 6 years old.

When I woke up, I took a deep breath. There was a slight vibration in my chest. The condition is as if I was being rolled on a swing.

I still remember my first astral journeys. They are very bright.

Do you remember yours? Write below.

Friendly dead in Astral

There were many. They didn't scare me. Deceased relatives whom I did not know during my lifetime. Neighbours. A classmate who died in an accident. Some actors. Writers who died in the 19th and early 20th century.

They told me that the time would come when I would write about them. I didn't know how right they were because I wanted to be a lawyer.

The dead during my astral travels asked for help. Someone did not have time to do something, and someone got stuck between levels on the Other Side.

I gradually started to get bored with it. Less and less often I began to go out of the body.

But in 2008, after the New Year, the ability to astral projection resumed. The séance worked as a trigger. Every night several times I went to the Astral.

P.S. Continued next time. She wrote a lot. It's time to stop. Wait for a new post. It will have a sequel.

Were you interested? Ask questions. I will answer them.

Everything is as usual ... Seven in the morning, I wake up without an alarm clock, I take a contrast shower, I brew Ivan-tea in a liter clay teapot, pour half of which into a thermos to take with me to work, because today is a difficult day: a meeting on establishing relations with competitors for the purpose of mutually beneficial cooperation, so brains will be needed. In the astral, everything seems to be “ointment” - the roads are cleared, the enemies are defeated, which means that, according to the forecasts of experienced esotericists, among whom I boldly considered myself, no pitfalls are expected in the next month. Next, a morning run in the park, around the house, enjoying the fresh autumn air and the first fallen leaves, which signify the imminent approach of truly winter frosts. “And how much remains to be done before you retire and completely indulge in creativity ...!” - thoughts about my destiny have been haunting me more and more obsessively lately, not retreating a single step, but the destiny itself, apparently, is in no hurry to appear on the horizon. After training, I sit down at my desk and make a few notes in a notebook, pouring out a handful of collected thoughts into it, which visit me along with the morning chill and calm meditative music that accompanies me in my headphones. Having thrown off sports clothes, I undertake to try on a new tie in front of the mirror, red with dark oblique disproportionate stripes in the middle, because the head and brain of a large corporation should always look solid and expensive. However, now for some reason, this tie seems unworthy of my ten thousand dollar custom-made suit from a famous couturier, so I decide to leave it at home. After standing a little longer at the mirror and practicing the art of oratory, I go to work.

On that day, nothing foreshadowed trouble, on the contrary, high spirits, good spirits, polite drivers on the roads, the absence of grazing traffic cops, and an evergreen traffic light. At the entrance to the corporation, I am met by smiling guards, the elevator does not have to wait, and you instantly ascend to the eighteenth floor without “two minutes” of your own skyscraper, bought from Alfa-Bank on bail for three million dollars. It is worth noting that the bank, in turn, took the business office for the resulting debts from another large enterprise, but now completely bankrupt, for a long time being our direct competitors in the field of metal processing. Now, as some envious people believe, we are working on someone's bones, or at least we have made a nest for ourselves on someone else's misfortune, although many employees of the company that has sunk into oblivion, without thinking for a long time, ran under our wing without losing anything, and continue to this day to bring home a salary, feed a family ... be fruitful and multiply (!). This once again proves that it is more profitable to work with us than to fight, which is what today's seminar prepared by me for top managers and their subordinates is dedicated to. For we do not want war - we oppose violence ... I know that journalists have a different opinion, they cannot be persuaded ... they voluntarily mystify and sensationalize events, explaining certain phenomena in their own way. I remember once the foreign press wrote about us, obviously under someone's dictation: “while we are trying to dry the sea from tears, rivers of blood are pouring from the drainpipe of our building ...”.

In the meantime, the elevator doors open, and our corporate psychologist Svyatoslav Vladimirovich greets me. His tasks include communication with our employees in order to identify weak links among them, because everyone, one way or another, takes part in the well-being of the common cause, which means that responsibility falls on everyone. The profession is not an easy one, especially when the affairs of the company suddenly do not go according to the planned scenario - then you will not envy Svyatoslav Vladimirovich, the poor fellow, because he has to act as Sherlock Holmes in search of a needle lost in a haystack, namely, to find that the very unit transmitting the virus. Oh, what only pops up as a result of his investigations, because all the underwear is turned inside out: starting from bad mood in the workplace, arising from troubles in the family, ending with undeveloped children's complexes, left and forgotten in the distant past. I have to admit, corporate psychology is a bit beyond my competence, so at the end of the working day I invite Svyatoslav to report to my office. Now he meets me in the corridor with a standard question: “How are you?”, which is usually called “password”, otherwise he will not leave you behind - “No problems”, after which Svyatoslav escorts me to the conference room, where a bunch of people have gathered . The topic related to our competitors really aroused general interest among top managers: many of them, due to the same unceasing confrontation, remain shaking hands in business circles, not included in the offices of officials, when they need someone's support or signature . Therefore, my report concerned not only simple recommendations on how to restore relations with one or another competitor, establish ties and build bridges again, but also how to whiten the reputation of our entire company, using what techniques and PR technologies. I prepared for the speech very seriously and for a long time, taking several days off especially for this, because it was necessary to calculate the losses from collisions with competitors and find a number of advantages from cooperation, in short, I tried not to lose sight of a single figure. That is why the event lasted a full hour and a half non-stop and almost the same amount of time was devoted to questions.

As a result, everything ended with loud applause and words of gratitude addressed to me, which means that the seminar was a success, but from that very moment I felt some catch when, after the end, people began to approach me with congratulations. “Well done, great performance…!” - Vyacheslav Anatolyevich, a successful top manager, patted me on the shoulder and shook my hand. Another hurried after him - “Congratulations, you will be promoted very soon ...!”. I thought he was joking until I heard the “good news” from his secretary: “I will give the boss a tape of your seminar ... I'm sure he will appreciate the performance and give you a position in public relations ... it's not a lifetime to live as a business coach ..., although each of our top managers started their careers with this…! I think there is some kind of regularity in that…?!”. Her smile seemed rather suspicious to me. Svyatoslav Vladimirovich immediately arrived in time to throw his joke: “Do not encourage the guy, otherwise you will have to go to the pharmacy to buy pills for star fever ...!” - after which he added - "Well, I'm joking, joking ... otherwise you have already turned pale all over ... How many times have I told you that you need to sleep at night, and not do something incomprehensible ...". I removed his hand from my shoulder and, with apprehension, made my way to my own glass office.

This is the case when you perceive the polyphony of the crowd, its exclamations, cries and ridicule with hostility. They swirled like a whirlwind in my head, preventing me from collecting my thoughts and coming to my senses - at such moments, along with a sip fresh air need peace and solitude. But is it really possible to retire when you know that some other person has occupied your office ... as if you came to an apartment, and there: “Hello, sorry, but you haven’t lived here for a long time ... look for another place to sleep ... ”... and a sweet, no less stupid, smile in parting and a stern, burning look in the back. Where to go…? In service social support…? To hell…! Yes… the only thing left to go to hell is…! And then, suddenly, a thought dawned on me, right in front of the door of the “glass”, on which is stamped in gold letters: CEO Yulian Fedorovich Bogolyubov. The thought of the following order - “what if all this is the tricks of the devil or the Universe ... it doesn’t matter ... but what if I’m still sleeping ... that is, I haven’t left the astral journey ...?”. To admit, I was so dumbfounded, so angry at everything and everything ... it would hardly have been at least the only person in the world who could cool me down. Moreover, I was ready to enter into a direct battle, even with the devil or the devil himself, even with the Universe or God, and prove to everyone that I would put things in order in my reality and put people and objects in their places. I open the door and a healthy gray-haired man sits on my chair, whom I know firsthand - he is the boss of the monopolists and the main competitors, under the humiliating percentage of which we have been for a long time. He was talking to someone on the intercom and motioned for me to come in and sit down. While he was talking, I carefully examined my own office: since my last arrival, almost nothing has changed in it, except for the general director. After he hung up the phone… it immediately escaped my lips…: “And how long have you been squeezing this place…?” I realized in time - it is necessary to change the manner of communication and translate it into a peaceful direction in order to better explore everything, because the general director is open and sincere with me, which it was possible to use.

- I wanted to ask how you got such a chic office ...?

“Ah, I’m sorry, I didn’t understand right away ... - he defuses the situation - They bought it from Alfa-Bank on bail for three million dollars ... Sorry again ... - Bogolyubov again asked for forgiveness and pressed the button for a direct line with his secretary - Natashenka , please bring Grigory and me a cup of coffee...! - he affectionately addressed, after which he continued - The fact is that Alfa-Bank, in turn, took this business center from another large enterprise ... they were the main competitors for a very long time and constantly claimed more, thereby, periodically put spokes in the wheel, beating off our tenders and auctions. I had to take them seriously...! In our business, you know Grigory, the strongest wins...! - as if boasting, the boss added - You yourself understand, we stand for world peace, and it is more profitable to cooperate with us than to fight ...! - he spoke with my phrases - I heard about your report on this topic ... I have already been informed - excellent work ...! We have to admit, no one cares as much about whitewashing a corporation's reputation as you do... And I'm not exaggerating at all...! I’m preparing one good place for you, because you don’t always have to do business training. Svyatoslav Vladimirovich told me a secret here that in your free time, you are also fond of the topic of astral travel ...? - at that very second, Natashenka entered the office with two cups of coffee, which is why we exchanged glances, and the barefoot deftly turned the topic into a new direction, not wanting to involve third parties in it. - Coffee from African Morocco ... believe me, you will not find the best in our stores ...! - he did not stop boasting - You will find many fakes, but real Moroccan only in North Africa ... I like to go there with my wife ...! he concluded as the secretary left our office. - Well, so ... - Bogolyubov again tried to get together in order to return to the previous subtleties. “I don’t personally know any astral traveler, but I’ve heard a lot about them ... after all, they usually don’t openly position themselves, and therefore, I think you won’t be offended by Svyatoslav Vladimirovich for his frankness ...” he paused to take a sip of coffee , the pleasant smell of which gradually permeated the entire room.

- What have you heard about them, Yulian Fedorovich ... - Entering the image of his subordinate, I politely asked, daring to taste a coffee drink.

- I heard about the superpowers that they acquire there ... about the ability to control reality, control financial flows, heal and heal other people ... in general, I understand that the topic is quite intimate ... - he cleared his throat - But can your abilities somehow help our corporation …? Bogolyubov asked cautiously. - For example, in the fight against competitors ...! - apparently, his main idea was exhausted, so now he hastened to give it a taste. - You really don’t think that it’s free ... I know how much such work costs ... we are ready to discuss all the nuances with you Grigory Pavlovich. And if necessary, we will open a new vacancy for you with a decent salary ... top managers are not even close ...! I will make you my right hand, Grigory Pavlovich. I need people like you not only in business, but also in politics…! Elections to the State Duma are coming soon, and there the presidential elections are just around the corner...! Agree…!

And then, suddenly, it dawned on me: the person sitting in front of me, engaged in narcissism for the whole hour, is exact copy myself… there is a reflection of my image and way of life, with a set of meaningless goals and plans for the future that have nothing to do with the true purpose. Like that Moroccan coffee drink, taste and quality is not superior to any other with a beautiful jar on store shelves. How will this person's life end and what will he leave behind, except for overthrown competitors, won battles and accumulated wealth ...? And in general, what difference does it make who will sit here tomorrow, in a glass room, me or him, or someone else ... what's the difference ... while chaos reigns in the city, while people die of hunger and disease, until the suffering are healed by soul, until finally, those in need of help do not find it ... because astral travelers at this time decide personal problems or solve the problems of their boss, embodying in reality his ambitions, rooted in the complexes instilled in someone in early childhood. A huge stream of sunlight burst in through the large windows, which made me very surprised, because my office was located in the northern part, where the sun never looks. I silently got up and went to meet him ... looking from the eighteenth floor of a high-rise, I saw a picture completely unfamiliar to me until now, as if it were not Petersburg, but some other metropolis ... I don’t know ... whether Hong Kong, Los Angeles or even New York. “What difference does it make ...” I repeated, “What difference does it make where I am ... in Tokyo, Chicago or Rome ... but what difference does it make in what kind of reality ... because as long as we are far from being destined in favor of our needs, we will to be in your own captivity of obsessive desires, and therefore, in a closed box ... ”.

- Are you okay…? Yulian Fedorovich's voice was heard behind him.

- Yes ... - I answered calmly, examining my hands against the background of the rays of the sun - More than good ... You can’t even imagine how much you did for me, being here ...! Without you in this box, I would never have been able to get out of its imprisonment ... from a damn snuff box ...!

“So you agree…?” - Without understanding the essence of my words, he was about to celebrate the victory of Bogolyubov.

In response, I just laughed out loud, after which I felt very tired. Approaching the huge beige leather sofa on which I liked to relax after my lunch break, I collapsed on it and fell into a deep sleep. I woke up already in my own office in the middle of the day ... yes, yes, in my ... no doubts, because at first I decided to pay attention to the inscription: above the glass door it was embossed in gold letters - General Director Grigory Pavlovich Sibiryakov. How I ended up here, at the workplace, is still a mystery, because I fell asleep in the bedroom of my house. Rain was pounding outside the window. A real autumn has descended on St. Petersburg, which means that soon we should expect the first, truly winter, frosts.

Fragment from the book "Diary of an Astral Traveler"

The material presents frames from the film "Inception" from the English director Christopher Nolan

And your grandmother, did she tell anything about the times of her youth? I asked, hoping to find out about the events of the nineteenth century.
- Yes, a lot of things said, but it's not interesting to you. Baby all this more.
Was there a great war?
- No, we didn’t have anything special before the Vakhlaks. It was different. And death came, illnesses happened, children also died, but it never happened so that everyone went crazy. The mind turned into madness, and the undead began to catch people and put them in shelters.
- Like this? For what?
- Well, before the invasion, almost everyone could hear voices in their minds, and these voices showed how to act correctly in this or that case. But not everyone heard the voices. There were those who did not hear them, and from that they hated those who heard them fiercely. Then the Vaklaks recruited as their assistants those who do not hear, and they are happy to try, they announced to those who heard that they were all fools, and they began to be treated. Hospitals appeared in every town. They then brought all those who heard. And those who did not want to go to the hospital pretended to be deaf. Like this!


- How does all this resemble the fight against dissent ... When, for "wrong" thoughts, they put some others in prisons and psychiatric hospitals, and often even began to kill.
- Well, I ate izuma, but heard me. Come on, tell those who hear that they are just normal. It's psychos that just don't hear voices.

I don't remember what else happened, but there was definitely something. Because after the end of the conversation with Daria, I returned to my carcass after some time. It is impossible to determine it, whoever is in the know knows that outside of his own body time does not exist at all.

So, I am fulfilling the request of my new friend Daria, and I hasten to reassure those who hear extraneous voices in their heads. You are not schizophrenic! You are normal. Disabled people are just those who can't hear anything. No voices in my head, no interlocutors in everyday life.

Q. - What else catches your eye that differs either from our experience or from what was previously the idea of ​​Kievan Rus?
A. - Kievan Rus is usually described already in periods of decline, but it appeared when different principalities merged, and before there was no such centralization of power. There were free cities, people settled around them. The prince did not usurp power. They were simply some military organizations that were supposed to protect against attacks. And when degradation, degeneration began, people's abilities were lost and a rigid organization was already needed in order to reflect. There were still people who saw, but they did not live in these cities, it was not comfortable. Well, then Christianity destroyed them, those in charge. Some more remained, but they are encrypted like that, not in Ukraine, they are deep there, in Russia. And they carry this knowledge, it's just that people are not ready for it yet.

Q. - But the number of these "subhumans"?
A. - There are few of them.
Q. - But they take advantage of the fact that they know who is who, but people do not know?
Oh yeah. They can create their own hierarchies and bet on right places their people, that's how they lead.
Q. - And how do they differ from people? What do they eat, how long do they live?
A.- They eat the same way, it’s just that I don’t know much about them. Locals look at them as if they were some kind of eccentrics, like aliens. They trade in timber.


Q. - Do they sell timber?
A.- No, some kind of technology, I can’t understand what exactly it is. Those on which these wagons work

Q. - Wagons?
Oh yeah.
Q. - It turns out that carts only work on these things, or are there still those with horses?
A. - No, of course, with horses the majority. They do not reveal all the secrets of how technology works.

Q. - And what is the largest building that you see?
A. - Five floors, wooden tower.

Q. - That is, everything is made of wood?
A. - Only very small buildings are built of brick. It is believed that it is worse for energy. Small buildings, such as barns. It is more durable, rots less, but it is less comfortable for people to live in it. Therefore, they try to make wood, it is more comfortable for them

Q. - Can we move forward a thousand years? We are interested in the period of Tartaria, do you know about Tartaria?
Oh yeah
Q. - The period when the knowledgeable ones were destroyed, can you see why they left? who destroyed them and for what reasons?
O.-Princes, together with a foreign army. There was a certain army that was in the service of the princes, it was made up of mercenaries, many foreigners, because their people were their own ... and plus they recruited all sorts of scumbags. It was like a prince's army. And they, by the power of the prince, destroyed those who did not submit. Those who knew were destroyed. Those who saw subtle bodies and could still tell that these are invaders in general, these are “non-humans”

Q.- It is still about 500 AD. uh?
A.- No, it's later. The leaders were destroyed for a long time. For centuries. They needed to be calculated. There are fewer and fewer of them. They all left the territory of Ukraine, and in Russia, there, in the depths, they still remained in uninhabited places. They just allowed themselves to be killed. It was better for them to die than to fit in, to submit to this hierarchy. It was important to keep the purity of his soul.

As you can see, in ancient times, people preferred to leave the earthly plane, rather than forcibly lower their vibrations.

Q. - Was there some specific ritual that was used to kill or do they just kill?
A. - They just concentrated and allowed it to be done. And also their children were killed and women, they did not resist.
Q. - No, I mean, for example, the Inquisition had a whole ritual of closing the ajna. Something, such as a corkscrew, was stuck into it, specifically to close it for many incarnations to come.

O.- I don't see it. It was easier for them to either allow themselves to be killed, and if they were tried to be captured, they resisted being killed. Perhaps only a few were captured. They needed to be killed, they themselves could not kill themselves, this was considered the worst option

Let's make a lyrical digression and remember the Atlanteans in a similar scenario, because everything is fractal and similar:

Why did the Atlanteans decide not to destroy the small planet? (It's about that the Atlanteans knew about the coming cataclysm in the form of a fall of a cosmic body, could prevent the destruction, but decided not to, thereby sacrificing most of their contemporaries )

After all, they ardently believed that most of them would die under the loud ringing of crazy planets. The fact is that in a trance time of change, people had increased extrasensory abilities. And they were directly connected with their soul - the super-essence. Atlas remembered all his strained, tired, life on Earth, he knew the purpose and meaning of each birth and death. He also remembered his happy lives in the subtle worlds after the violent deaths in the valley of weeping and suffering. A pure and free life outside the physical body seemed to Atlantis a paradise, where the exhausted soul, having risen from the coffin of the body, finally felt at home.

But he could never go voluntarily to this paradise, since suicide has always been considered the worst sin. A person who did not learn lessons at the school of the Earth, who did not pass the exams for the current physical life, went against his super-essence, which sent him here with his specific task. For suicide, the Atlantean was punished with repeated suffering on the astral, mental and physical planes. All the super-entities of the Atlanteans tried to grow quickly and get into higher worlds beyond the mind, time and forms. For accelerated gaining experience on Earth, they embodied their fragments in eight or twelve bodies of people of various destinies and specialties at once and led them like puppets. Simultaneously with these physical puppets, each soul had 13 more puppets in the subtle worlds. These puppets live beautifully and work hard in the subtle worlds, go to visit each other to patiently help lagging behind fragments of their essence to complete their tasks.

And another excerpt from the session of the new hypnologist:
