The Keys of Astral Travel

A practice

And so dreams are astral experiences. Our disciples must call them astral experiences and not dreams. Our disciples must say last night I was at such and such a place; last night I was in astral body at such and such a place; I had an experience with so-and-so in such-and-such a temple, etc.

The Mysteries of Life and Death

Go to sleep with your head towards the north. Relax your body, invoke Tahuil and call upon the Adepts of the Order of the Epoptae with the following prayer: “OM, I call, I invoke the Master Tahuil and the Adepts of the Order of the Epoptae, so that they can take me out from my physical body and awake me in the Astral world.”

Astral travels and the Kabbalah are an integral whole. There is a transitional state between vigil and sleep. Every human being involuntarily comes out of the body in that instant. By paying attention, we can voluntarily and consciously come out in that instant of transition that exists between vigil and sleep. The important thing is to watch sleep. Then we can get up from the bed and come out of our house, heading towards the Gnostic Church. Our Lord the Christ officiates in the Gnostic Church. All that disciples have to do is to watch their sleep and get up from the bed during those instants of dozing. The explanation that we give should be translated into facts. Those who have read a great deal erroneously suppose that the matter is mental, they think that they should mentally get up. We repeat that this should be translated into deeds. We must rise as naturally as we do in the mornings.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practice

21. The yogi who wants to project himself in his Astral body must take advantage of that transition state that exists between vigil and sleep. 22. The Yogi shall get up out of his bed in the very instant of falling asleep and go out of his bedroom towards the palace of the Lords of Karma to arrange his negotiations. He can go to any Temple of Mysteries.

23.This former procedure must be executed with actions; it is not a mere mental exercise. 24.The Yogi must get up from his bed in the instants of getting slumber, just as a somnambulist will do it. 25. Triumph is attained with patience and perseverance.

Those submerge within Eternity. They attract and repel according to the laws of universal magnetization. If you want to check it, it is easy: learn how to leave the physical body at will.

We have methods to investigate that which is called the “beyond”. One of those methods is called “astral projection”. It is easy to project oneself at will: one just has to lie down with the head toward the North; become the spy of one’s own dream; relax the physical body, and when one is already in that state of transition that exists between wakefulness and sleep, then, identify with the spiritual, feel oneself as a spirit, and feel oneself as a soul. And gently, in such a state of drowsiness, get up from the bed. What I have said, “get up”, must be translated into action. It is not a matter of thinking of getting up; translate it into action: get up! And if you do get up and then tum around to look at your bed, you will see that your physical body has fallen asleep in it. This is something similar to what the owner of a car would do, who after reaching his destination, steps out of his car and looks at it from the outside.

128. If the disciple does not float, he gets into bed again and repeats the experiment. 129. However, if upon jumping, the disciple floats in the air, then tie should leave the room and fly towards the GNOSTIC CHURCH. 130. This is not a mental exercise.

When the student already finds himself in that state of drowsiness or somnolence that precedes sleep, he should get out of bed and leave the room. How? In what manner? Almost all students suppose that it is an exercise of magnetism or auto-suggestion, etc., but they are lamentably mistaken because here we are not dealing with auto suggestion or hypnotisms. Simply get out of bed for Nature will do the rest. She will know how to separate the astral body from the physical body. The disciple merely needs to stand up and leave his room for Nature will do the rest.

A practice

Already out of his room, the student will take a little hop with the intention of floating in space and if he floats, he will then be able to transport himself to the Gnostic Church in a few seconds. But if he does not float, the disciple should once again get into bed and repeat the experiment. Some succeed immediately, others take months and even years to learn. But the “tenacious” succeeds in the end.

2nd In an almost imperceptible manner, a keynote always resounds within the brain of every living being. That keynote is that of the ray to which each person belongs and seems to come from the cells of the cerebellum. Some hear the sound of small flutes of the Egyptian ray; others will hear the “gong” of the Oriental ray, others the roaring of the sea, of the lunar ray, etc. If the disciple silences all his thoughts in the calm of the night, he will hear his keynote; then he can cause that note to vibrate loudly, with will and when the note is already so loud that it invades and semi-paralyzes the entire physical body, the disciple should get out of bed and betake himself to the Gnostic Church for the Masters of the White Brotherhood will receive him there with incomparable happiness.

That which you always do in an involuntary, unconscious way, learn to do it in a voluntary and conscious way. You have always unfolded; in the moments of becoming drowsy all souls leave the body, in an unfortunately unconscious way. Do the same, but in a voluntary and conscious way. I repeat: when you feel yourself in this state of lassitude characteristic of sleep, when you begin to be drowsy, imagine yourself to be like a subtle, vaporous ghost; think that you are going to depart from your body; comprehend that you are not the body; understand that you are a soul; feel yourself being a soul and get up from your bed gently, delicately, as souls get up. Translate what I am telling you into concrete facts. It is not a question of thinking, but of doing. Upon getting up, next give a little jump within your own bedroom with the firm intention of floating in space; thus, it is clear that if you float it is because you are now outside of the physical body. Then you can leave your bedroom and float in space. You can go away to Paris, to London or to the place where you wish. But if you do not float, it is because you have gotten up from your bed with the physical body, so get back into your bed once again and repeat the experiment.

Beyond Death also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

A practice

6. When one feels oneself floating, should one think to travel to a determined place? I want you to comprehend that it is not a question of thinking, but rather of doing, which is different. For example, I am seeing you seated in that chair, but if you think you are going to get up from that chair and go to the street and you do not act, it is clear that you will remain seated there in the chair. Action is what is needed. Have you understood me?

Beyond Death

A practice

The key to traveling in the astral body is very simple: the disciple should lie in his bed and try to go to sleep calmly. Then the disciple should get up from his bed while he is slumbering, and leave his room. If the disciple jumps slightly intending to stay afloat in the air, he will see with astonishment that he is delightfully floating in the air and that he can travel by astral body to any place on Earth. The disciple can go by astral body to the palace of the Lords of Karma. In this temple he can settle his affairs with the Lords of Karma. When we say affairs, we refer to our outstanding debts to cosmic justice. The Lords of the Law also grant credit, but all credit must be paid back by doing good works for the benefit of humanity. We must learn to go out in the astral body to settle our affairs personally with the Lords of Karma. When a man learns to manage his accounts, he can guide his life better.

The Mysteries of Life and Death

A practice

Then he will leave his bedroom, and will take a little jump with the intention of floating, and thus flying, any one of us can go to wherever our hearts carries us. A mother could visit her distant child, see him, and talk to him. A husband could visit his wife who is far away, see her, and she in turn could do the same. This is not a mental exercise; we are not dealing with something mental here. When we say that the Christian ought to gently get out of bed, he must do it; it is to be understood in this way. However, take care of the sleep that you have attained, because the power to enter the mount is in this sleep. The important thing is to abandon laziness, and get up from your bed at the moment of falling asleep.

Book of the Virgin of Carmel, 1952 also in Laziness

A practice

Without any anxiety I proposed to keep watch, to spy on my own sleep... I wanted to use that state of transition that exists between alertness and lethargy, for my astral exit... When the process of dreaming began, when characteristic dream images started to arise, delicately, feeling like a spirit, I made an effort to eliminate laziness and then rose from the bed... I left my bedroom as if I was a phantom, walking delicately, next leaving the house... Through the streets of the city floated delightfully, filled with an exquisite spiritual voluptuousness.

Therefore, the clue in order to consciously travel in the astral body is to empty the mind. Practice While lying down with his body, the student will beg his internal God to take him out of his physical body. After this imploration the student must empty his mind, because for this practice it is useless to think. So, by comprehending the uselessness of thinking, the student will absolutely clear his mind and not think. Thus, by comprehending the uselessness of thinking, the mind will remain quiet and in silence for this practice. Before anything else, comprehend that in order to consciously travel in the astral body, the process of thinking is an obstacle. When we comprehend the uselessness of thinking during this practice, which will take us to inspirational knowledge, then the mind will naturally remain quiet and in silence. There is the need to distinguish between a mind which is quiet and a mind which has to be forced to be quiet. There is the need to distinguish between a mind which is in silence and a mind which is silenced by force. When the mind is quiet and silenced with violence, a secret struggle exists, and this mind is therefore not quiet, neither is it in silence. Only when we have comprehended the uselessness of thinking during these practices. will the mind remain quiet and in silence by itself.

Afterwards, the student must tranquilly fall asleep. If the student achieves falling asleep without thinking, that is to say with his mind quiet and in silence, he will then consciously awaken out of his physical body, elevating himself into inspirational knowledge.

15. He will then see that he does not need to think because the wisdom of the Intimate is: Yes, Yes, Yes. 16. The disciple will now be aware that the action of the Intimate is: Yes, Yes, Yes. 17. The disciple will now understand that the nature of the Intimate is absolute happiness, absolute existence, and absolute omniscience. 18. In these instances of supreme happiness, past and future join within an eternal now. The great cosmic days and the great cosmic nights are taking place, one after the other, within an eternal instance. 19. In this plenitude of happiness our disciples can study all the wisdom of the fire within the blazing flames of the universe.

3rd If you find yourself dreaming that you are at a certain place and you awaken, then do not move, become sleepy once again, with your imagination set on the aforementioned place, feeling yourself there again as if trying to continue the dream just as it was unfolding, while you cling to that place of the dream with thy Will. Imagination and Will united in vibrant harmony is the key to this clue. 4th At the time of falling asleep, concentrate thy imagination and thy Will intensely, united in vibrant harmony, on a certain place or location. Concentration should be perfect and then begin walking with faith in the “imagined” place. You should not imagine that you are imagining, because the experiment will then fail. One should really feel oneself at the imagined place and totally forget the bedroom.

This experiment should be done during the state of transition between vigil and sleep and once at that place, kneel and ask thy own internal God to take you to the Holy Gnostic Church, which is the great Cathedral of the Soul and the temple in which the Solar Logos, our Lord, the Christ, officiates.

There is a key for travelling in the astral body which is very swift; upon awakening from normal sleep, one closes the eyes without moving, and with the eyes closed one vividly imagines any place (but do not imagine that you are imagining). It must be translated into fact. If you feel completely sure of being in the imagined place, Will and Imagination are thus united and it is logical that this Union being attained, the result will be Triumph. Put the Imagination into play, take a walk in the place that you are imagining with “faith”. If one does this practice and attains the interplay of Will and Imagination (which is feminine), without moving in bed, maintaining sleep and imagining the place, putting into activity the Will, and with decision getting up from the bed, one will then be able to go wherever one wishes. On one occasion I found myself in a wood and whilst going along a track, I was told about a mountain. Because it was a dangerous place, I went to investigate it in Astral. I imagined the mountain, I saw mist, some steps, and a group of adepts. On entering that place they gave me a spoonful of bees honey, the food of the White Lodge, and the Bread of Wisdom. Later I was told that I would be purged with castor oil to cleanse my stomach. The next day I went out of the body whose stomach had been cleansed. I saw the stars, and practised the Rune MAN: the adepts commanded me to descend to the Worlds of the Infernos. I entered the region of profound darkness where I was attacked by terrible beasts. They were my “Ps” - I had to go through doors that I could barely pass, along narrow paths, and from here I went out through a cemetery. All that which is of the ego is death and misfortune; it is Mephistopheles. One must work very hard.

As an exercise, project yourself out of your body and try to feel as if you are in a park, that you are a little bird that jump among the branches of a tree that you have at your sight. On another day, try to feel that you are that tree. On another day, feel that you are the little flower of the meadow that you step upon with your feet. On another occasion, feel that you are a cloud, then, a drop of dew, a stone. Confirm that you are not your body, that you are the Divine Innermost dwelling within your body.

Do not forget the clue: Take advantage of the somnolent state that exists between vigil and sleep, so that with willpower, you may project from within yourself your astral body, your discernment and your memory.

Stand up in a steady position with your sight towards the East. Raise your arms above your head and place the palms of your hands together, then move your extended arms down towards your sides to form a cross with your body (your arms out to either side, the rest of your body standing straight); then after, cross you arms over your chest and lie down dorsal decubitus (on your back). When you feel you are falling asleep, with a sincere prayer ask your God and the Masters to take you to the great pyramid of Giza in Egypt. Immediately after finishing your prayer, vocalize the following syllables: FAAAAAAAA RAAAAAAA OOOOONNNNN Each one of the sounds of these syllables has a slight variation; they correspond to the natural “fa” of the musical scale that resounds in all of nature. The syllable “on,” changing the “n” with the “m,” is vocalized by the Yogis before and after their meditations.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

A practice

Kalusuanga, the primeval God of light, will joyfully admit into his Mysteries the souls who are thirsty for the Mayan Ray. The clue in order to enter into the temple of Kalusuanga, the Mayan Indian Master, is the following: The disciple will sit on a chair before a table. He will place his elbows on the table and will hold his head with his left hand. Meanwhile, he will perform magnetic passes by passing his right hand over his head from the forehead to the neck, with the purpose of magnetizing himself. Thus, with force, he will thrust (with the magnetic passes) his astral body outwards, towards the temple of ‘Buritaca’, which is the headquarters of the ancient wisdom of the Mayan Ray.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

The disciple will unite his willpower and imagination in vibrating harmony and will make the effort to fall asleep. He must feel, while utilizing his willpower and imagination, as if he was with the body of flesh and bones within the temple of ‘Buritaca’.

In practice we have been able to prove that people who are very intellectual, full of bookish culture (the library book worms), do not manage to go out at will in the astral body. On the other hand, peo ple who are very simple, humble peasants, poor servants of families can do so perfectly. This has made us think a great deal about the matter and we have carefully investigated the problem. The fact is that travel in the astral body is not something intellectual. Rather, astral travel is more aligned to the feeling, and to the superior emotion. These qualities are related to the heart and not to the brain. The intellectual polarises himself exaggeratedly in the brain and abandons, in fact, the world of the heart. The result of his lack of equilibrium is the loss of the psychic powers of the Soul. Unfortunately, a faculty cannot be acquired without the loss of another. Whoever wants to develop the intellect does so at the expense of the psychic faculties. This problem is serious because we can in no way approve ignorance and illiteracy. It is logical that an intellectual culture is necessary. Ignorance leads to very serious errors. An illiterate and ignorant occultist, can become a mythomaniac or slanderer, and in the worst cases, an assassin. In the astral world we find the perverse doubles of saintly people. Facing the Angel Anael, is his perverse double, the terrible demon Lilith. Facing Elohim Gibor, is the terrible demon Andramelech. Facing every good citizen is a citizen of evil. The worst of this is that the appearance of the double is exactly the same as the Model of Light. If an Adept teaches White Magic, his double, the black adept, besides having a similar physiognomy, manners, posture etc., teaches black magic. This is very serious and the ignorant occultist can very easily mistake his left hand for his right, in fact becoming a slanderer of good people, and we repeat, even an assassin. If an ignorant occultist finds his wife in the astral world cohabiting with one of his friends, and if he is unfortunately a schizophrenic or neurasthenic, he can assassinate his friend and his wife. His ignorance does not allow him to under stand, what he has seen is a pair of doubles cohabiting, or a fact from a past reincarnation etc., etc. Somebody who is jealous and supposes that his wife is unfaithful with some known or unknown person can then project his thought forms and see them in the astral world. If the subject is a neurasthenic, or an ignorant schizophrenic, but knows how to go out in the astral body, he can take everything that he saw seriously, and then commit murder, confused by his jealousy and visions. Because he is ignorant, he does not understand that he has seen his own mental forms projected unconsciously. All this leads us to the conclusion that intellectual culture is necessary. Now the interesting thing is to know how to reconquer the lost psychic faculties. A man with a brilliant, illuminated intellect and with all his psychic faculties in full activity really is in fact and right fully, a true illuminate. The occultist needs to establish perfect equilibrium between mind and heart. When the mind has become exces sively frozen in the brain, leaving at will in the astral body becomes completely impossible because there is imbalance. It is urgent then, that the intellectual occultists reestablish the equilibrium between mind and heart. Fortunately, there is a technique to reestablish the lost equilibrium. This technique is inner meditation. For those intellectuals who write to us saying that they have not been able to leave in the astral body with the clues that we have taught, we prescribe a good daily dose of inner meditation. It is urgent that they drink the wine of meditation from the cup of per fect concentration.

Meditation comprises of three phases: First: Concentration Second: Meditation Third: Samadhi.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practice

8. SHAMADI: (Ecstasy). If the disciple has been able to fall asleep meditating on his INNER SELF, then he enters the state of Shamadi and he can see and hear ineffable things and converse with the angels in a familiar manner. It is in this way that he awakens conscience from its millenary lethargy. It is in this manner that we can acquire flue divine wisdom, without the need of harming the powers of the Mind with the battle of reasoning, or with vain intellectualisms. Meditation is the daily bread of the sage. 9. With Meditation our Astral body is transformed, our astral experiences are made clear during the hours of sleep and in this way man reconquers his faculties and learns to come out in the Astral body at will. 10. Then he will be able to use, with success, the clues that we gave in the chapter of GIMEL or The Empress.

A practice

6. DHARANA: (Concentration). We should separate the mind from all types of earthly thoughts. “Earthly thoughts should fall dead before the doors of the temple.” One has to concentrate the mind only on within... on our INNER SELF. 7. DYANA: (Meditation). The disciple should meditate on those instants on the INNER SELF. The INNER SELF is the SPIRIT. “Remember that thy bodies are the temple of the living God and that the Most High dwells in us.” The disciple should fall asleep profoundly trying to converse with his INNER SELF.

Sunk in profound meditation, we should provoke drowsiness; this profound drowsiness will take us to the Samadhi state. We will then exit the body without knowing how, or at what time. This is how we enter the internal worlds.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practice

Before beginning our practice of Concentration, we should sit comfortably. We can also do this exercise in bed. We have to withdraw from the mind all types of earthly thoughts; these thoughts should fall dead at the doors of the temple. Before concentrating, we should make our minds blank to not think of anything. Having filled these requirements, we then begin our inner Concentration exercise. We separate our minds from the things of the physical world and we direct it inwards, towards the Inner-Self. Remember that your bodies are the temples of the Living God, that the Most High dwells in you. The Most High within us is the Inner-Self. We have to love the Inner-Self. We have to adore the Inner-Self. We have to pay homage to the Inner-Self. We have to profoundly meditate on the Inner-Self.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practice

Dreams are legitimate inner experiences. If we want to study a plant, we concentrate on it, we meditate on it; we provoke drowsiness and fall asleep. Then, in the vision of dreams we see how the plant becomes a beautiful child, or a beautiful creature. This creature is the Elemental of the plant. We can converse with that plant Elemental. We can inform ourselves about the properties of that plant, about its magical powers, etc. The plant Elemental will answer these questions and in this manner we will receive information. Meditation will awaken our occult powers. Meditation will provoke fundamental changes in the astral body. Then during normal sleep, there will be instants in which we will be conscious, and later we will be able to say, “I am out of the physical body, I am out of the physical body.” In this manner we will acquire “continuous Consciousness” little by little. Finally, the day will arrive when the student will be able to utilize our clues to come out at will in the astral body. He will have got his lost powers. During the hours of sleep, all human beings travel in the astral body. Dreams are the astral experiences. We should learn to remember astral experiences. When we wake up from sleep, we will practice a Retrospective Exercise in order to remember all those things that we did during sleep. During sleep, our disciples transport themselves to the White Lodges. During sleep, our disciples travel to remote places. All our disciples should learn how to interpret dreams. Even the most absurd dreams are absolutely symbolic.

A practice

Internal experiences are interpreted by basing ourselves on the Law of Philosophical Analogies, on the Law of the Analogy of Opposites, on the Law of Correspondences and on Numerology. The one who wants to advance in these studies should untiringly study the Book of Daniel in the Bible. Daniel’s system teaches us how to interpret inner experiences.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practice

During sleep all of us move within the astral body, yet unconsciously; this happens so that the ethereal body can have the opportunity to repair the weakened physical body. However, you must learn how to consciously travel within the astral body at will and as frequently as you wish. We will submit you to the ordeals within the astral plane so that we can get to know your qualities and defects. Nevertheless, if in spite of all the exercises that we have given you, you cannot travel within your astral body at will, then we recommend that you practice internal meditation tenaciously. This is how you will recuperate the natural power of controlling your astral body, a power that you have lost for now.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

A practice

Before falling asleep, lay down on your bed and perform the following for no less than thirty minutes each day for at least seven days: feel that the sacred fire of the Holy Spirit is penetrating your body through the pineal chakra. Thus during its descent, your pituitary, laryngeal, cardiac and solar chakras will be put into motion accordingly; keep descending towards your prostatic (uterine) chakra making it spin from left to right (clockwise), thus making it shine with a beautiful resplendence of a lotus of fire in movement.

If in spite of all the clues which we have taught in order to consciously travel in Astral body you have not achieved it yet, then do not feel discouraged. Study chapters 16 to 21 of my book entitled: The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac. I promise you, beloved reader, that if you submit yourself to the discipline written in those cited chapters, then you will learn how to consciously travel through the Suprasensible Worlds.

What is important is to perform everything correctly and to not dismay in your efforts. Then you will triumph.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

The devotee should concentrate on his heart, imagining there thunder and lightning, fast moving clouds that are lost in the twilight, blown by strong hurricanes. The Gnostic should imagine many eagles flying in that infinite space which is within, very deep within his heart. Imagine the profound forests of nature, filled with sun and life, the song of birds and the sweet and peaceful chirping of the crickets of the forest. The disciple should fall asleep imagining all of this. Imagine now that in the forest there is a throne of gold, upon which is seated the Goddess Kãkini, a very divine woman. The Gnostic should fall asleep meditating on this, imagining all this. He should practise one hour daily, but if he practises two or three or more hours daily, even better. He can practise seated in a comfortable arm chair, lying on the floor, or on his bed, with his arms and legs open both right and left as a five-pointed star. Sleep must be combined with meditation. One must have much patience. These marvellous faculties of the cardia are obtained with infinite patience. It is better that the impatient, who want everything straight away, who do not know how to persevere their whole life should leave, be cause they are of no use. Powers are not obtained by playing around; everything costs. Nothing is given to us as a gift.

Those who want to learn how to leave in the astral body at will, those who want to enter into the science of Jinas, to learn how to place themselves within the fourth dimension with the physical body and travel with their physical body to any place in the world with out needing an aeroplane; those who urgently need to awaken their clairvoyance and clairaudience, should concentrate their mind daily on the cardiac chakra and meditate profoundly on that marvelous centre. To meditate on this centre for one hour daily is marvelous. The mantram of this chakra is the vowel O, which is vocalized elongating the sound thus: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

During the practice given here one should pray to the Christ, asking him to awaken the chakra of the heart.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in The Perfect Matrimony

A practice

Many beings live in the Ultra of Nature, in the fourth dimension, with their Solar Astral Bodies. The oriental sages state that they have cognizance of those beings thanks to their prostatic chakra. These great sages of Hindustan concentrate daily on their prostatic chakra. They imagine that their chakra rotates from left to right like a magnetic wheel, while vocalizing the letter “M” with the lips closed. The letter “M” sounds as if imitating the bellowing of a bull, but without that deepness of voice. This is a profound and vibrating sound. This practice will awaken the prostatic chakra if it is practiced daily through many years.

A practice

The Prostate Chakra grants the power to travel consciously in the Astral Body. Every student should possess that power, if not, it is compulsory to awaken this Chakra. EXERCISE FOR THE PROSTATE CHAKRA The disciple should submerge himself into profound meditation on the Prostate Chakra; imagine that Chakra as a Lotus Flower, or as a magnetic disc which spins from left to right; at the same time, vocalize the letter M, as in the beginning of a bull’s moo but it should be sustained, long and without decadence, with a deep inhalation of air to then provoke that sound while having the lips hermetically sealed, until the last particle of breath is exhaled, as follows: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM With these four series of Mantrams, the student becomes a practical Theurgist.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

A practice

The transmutation of the creative energy corresponds to the number 3. The splenic chakra is the centre of the Etheric Body, the life of the Sun enters our organism here. During the night the splenic chakra gathers the energies left by the Sun during the day. With that energy the splenic chakra transmutes the white corpuscles into red corpuscles. During the day the organic wastes obstruct the nerve channels of the Great Sympathetic nervous system. During sleep the vital energy makes the chakra there rotate, and this in turn uses the energy of the Sun. It passes to the spleen transmuting the white corpuscles into red. The energy passes to the solar plexus and is distributed throughout the whole nervous system. The thyroid gland cooperates, disinfecting the whole organism. It is clear that when the ego (lunar Astral ) returns, the organism will have been repaired, and we feel in better health. When one gets up feeling very tired, it means that the organism is ill. The hepatic chakra serves for astral projection. The Astral Body is con nected with the liver. By awakening the chakra of the liver anyone can enter and leave the Physical Body at will. The splenic, hepatic and solar plexus are developed with the Egyptian mantram FE-UIN-DAGH One chants on the note Mi, thus developing the three chakras and the lungs.

We need to learn how to come out in the astral body in order to converse with the InnerSelf. We need to study at the feet of the Master. Beginners should lull themselves to sleep, invoking Lord Jehovah, and praying to him to take them out in the astral body. Lord Jehovah will take them out of the body. The student should then get up during those instants of snoozing. “Help thyself and I shall help thee.” Jehovah always helps us; let us help ourselves.

The disciples who want to learn to come out at will in the astral body will receive our help if they invoke this humble servant Samael, author of this book. At the time of doing your exercise, pray in this manner, “I believe in God, I believe in Christ, and I believe in Samael. Samael, take me out of my body.” Repeatedly recite this prayer at the time of lulling yourself to sleep. When you already feel a certain lassitude, in other words, weakness and drowsiness, it is because I, Samael, am helping you. Then make a supreme effort of will and get up from your bed. I, Samael Aun Wear, will take you to the Gnostic Church.

We Gnostic students should know the conjurations arid invocations and learn them by heart, in order for us to pronounce them not only before the rituals, but also mentally when falling asleep, because in this manner, we transport ourselves to the most elevated planes of cosmic consciousness during sleep and be able to ask for help from high divine hierarchies. They are also useful to us as formidable weapons to defend ourselves from the attacks of the tenebrous ones, or in the event of danger. We should know how to defend ourselves from the tenebrous ones. The conjurations should be prayed full of faith. CONJURATION OF THE FOUR Caput mortum, imperet tibi dominus per vivum et devotum serpentem! Cherub, imperet tibi Dominus per Adam Jot Cha Vah!

Immediately prior to going to bed, concentrate on the Sacred Order of Tibet and on the Holy Eight, calling the Master Bagavan Aclaiva; he will assist you to travel in the astral body. Some night we will be called to the Lodge of Tibet and in the Temple of Himalaya we will be submitted to seven tests. When one is called, one is pulled by the feet so that one may present oneself in an upright position. One must have valour because he will be submitted to many very hard tests. We will be decapitated and pierced through the heart with a sword; one must have valour; he who has aspiration and constancy will triumph. The Sacred Order of Tibet is very exacting, here we find the true Rectors of humanity.

In Egypt, the Master learned how to travel in the astral body by vocalizing FARAON. It is in this manner that he came out in the astral body. The Master lay down in his bed in exactly the same manner that the Aztecs represented Chac Mool, the god of rain. He rested his head on a pillow and lulled himself to sleep, while vocalizing the mantram FARAON. When vocalizing this mantram, it is divided into three syllables; the first is the FA that resounds in all of nature. The second is the Egyptian RA. The third is the ON which reminds us of the famous mantram OM of the Hindus.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practice

The Master lulled himself to sleep, mentally vocalizing this mantram. It is important to prolong the sound of each of the letters, which form the mantram FARAON.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practice

The name of this Aztec sculpture is FARAON, a name whose syllables are divided as follows: fa-ra-on. When properly vocalized, they are a mantra that makes the astral body (of the one who pronounces them) separate from their physical body and soar within space towards the great pyramid of Giza in Egypt.

KEY TO GO INTO ASTRAL CONSCIOUSLY The key to go into astral is very simple. It is sufficient to go to sleep mentally pronouncing the powerful mantram FARAON. This man tram is divided into three syllables; FA-RA-ON. When the devotee finds he is in that state of transition which exists between vigil and sleep, he will go within : by means of conscious self-reflection and then will gently get up from his bed, completely identified with his light and fluid Spirit, in the astral body every devotee can attend the Pretor. People, who have not yet engendered the Christ Astral, suffer a great deal because they are unable to learn to go into astral, other than with many hardships and much work. Those who have engendered the Christ Astral in past reincarnations, leave the physical body with great ease. KEY TO TAKE THE PHYSICAL BODY INTO A STATE OF JINAS The disciple will concentrate on the Master Oguara. The disciple should fall asleep reciting this prayer: “I believe in Christ, I believe in Oguara, Bãbãji, Mãtãji and the Jinas Masters. Take me out of my bed with the physical body. Take me to the Gnostic Church with my physical body in the state of Jinas.”

A practice

There is an instant when we can abandon our physical body at will. That instant is when we find ourselves falling asleep. In those moments of transition between vigil and sleep, every human being, wrapped in his or her astral body, escapes the physical body. There is a clue, which allows us to consciously escape from the physical body, to work in the Superior Worlds. The Divine Master, Jesus Christ utilized this clue, when he studied in the pyramid of Kephren. The Great Master used to lie on his bed, face up, horizontally, with the soles of his feet placed on the bed, and his knees raised. Next the Master raised his arms above his head until the palms of his hands touched each other; then he ex tended them to the right and left; and finally, crossed them over his chest thus forming the Microcosmic Star. Next, the Master lulled himself to sleep vocalizing the powerful Mantram “FARAON”. That Mantram is vocalized in three syllables, as follows: FAAAAA...RAAAAA...ONNNNN...

The vocalization of the Letter R has already been explained. The disciple should lie down, horizontally, face up. He will place the palm of the hands extended without rigidity, on the surface on the bed, knees bent upwards, with the sole of the feet resting on the bed. The entire body should be relaxed, limb by limb. With everything in this manner, the disciple will lull himself to sleep and, taking deep breaths, will vocalize the Mantram FARAON.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

A practice

But, before lying down, he should do the sign of the Microcosmic Star. To that effect, the arms are raised upwards until the palms of the hands touch each other above the head. Next, they are extended laterally so that they remain in a horizontal position, forming a Cross with the rest of the body; lastly, the forearms are crossed over the chest, touching this region with the palms, while the fingertips reach the front of the shoulders. Our adorable Savior of the World, Jesus the Christ, used this mysterious Clue not revealed until now by us, when He studied in the Pyramids of Kephren.

FARAON Ida is masculine and Pingala is feminine. Here are the sharps and flats of the Great FA that resounds in nature. FA corresponds to the Solar atoms, RA to the Lunar atoms, ON to the flaming Fire that ascends through the central channel. It is necessary to learn how to sound these sharps and flats with the powerful mantram FARAON, in order to go out in the astral body consciously and positively.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in The Perfect Matrimony

The position in which Jesus lay down to go into astral was like that of Chac Mool, but with the head very low and without pillows, the soles of the feet upon the bed, the legs bent and the knees raised. In this way, the Great Hierophant would fall asleep playing on his marvellous lyre, the spinal column. The whole mantram FARAON is divided into three syllables, thus: FA - RA - ON. The FA is that of the musical scale. The RA is a deep sound; it should be vocalised with a rolling R. ON reminds us of the mantra OM of India, but the only difference is that here, instead of having the consonant M, it has the consonant N; ON. In general, we can give to the mantram FARAON all the intonation which resounds in all creation with the Great FA. We advise you to vocalise mentally. The disciple should fall asleep singing this mantram with the Imagination and Will concentrated on the pyramids of Egypt. It requires practice and much patience.

The key consists in reducing an eggshell to powder. The disciple will apply these powders over the chest and armpits; he will then lie down on his bed, and cover himself properly with his blankets. The student will then lull himself to sleep, pronouncing the mantram “FARAON”, like this: FAAAAAAAAA RAAAAAAAAAA ONNNNNNNNNN This can be pronounced mentally, and when the student feels that he has become numb, he should rise from his bed and head towards the Gnostic Church.

The second syllable “Ra”, corresponds to a very ancient mantram that vibrates all the chakras of the astral body; this mantram is not pronounced with “r” but with “rr” instead, like this: rrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaa.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practiceNight 12

Mentally pronounce these two syllables in an alternated and separate manner. The student should try to listen to the sharp sound of the cricket. That sound emerges from within the cerebral cells. One needs a serene mind, a good quantity of drowsiness and good attention on what one is doing. If the exercise is well done, then as soon as the student enters that transitional state that exists between vigil and sleep, he will feel the sharp sound of the cricket within his cerebrum. The student should then lull himself to sleep a little more, and increase the resonance of that sound by means of the will; he should then rise from his bed heading towards the Temple of Chapultepec, or the Gnostic Church, or wherever he wishes. When we say that he should get up from his bed, this should be translated into deeds. The student should rise from his bed. This is not a mental exercise. Really, it is not a matter of mentally rising; the disciple should rise with actions, with deeds.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practice

Nature will take care of separating the physical and the astral bodies, in order for the astral body to remain free and the physical body remains in the bed. What the student has to do is to get up from his bed, that is all. With this clue, our Gnostic disciples will be able to transport themselves in the astral body to the mystery temples of the White Lodge. It would be very interesting for disciples to have this little animal in their rooms. In this manner, they would concentrate better. If we concentrate on that sound, it will soon resound in our cerebrum. That little animal can be kept in small cages. With this clue we can attend the great temples of the White Lodge.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practiceNight 11

The human being can travel to any place in the world or in the infernos with his Astral Body. The key in order to consciously travel with the Astral Body is the following: Laying down on his bed, face up, the disciple must fall sleep while vocalizing the syllables “LA” “RA”.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

A practiceNight 11

The student will independently vocalize each syllable, that is to say, each syllable with a separate breath, as follows: LLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAA……RRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAA The vocalization of these two sacred syllables must be done mentally.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

A practice

These two syllables have the power of making the sexual energy intensely vibrate. Thus, the disciple must fall asleep while vocalizing with tranquility in his bed. Thus, this is how the sexual energies, the creative energies of the Third Logos begin to vibrate when the student vocalizes these two syllables.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

A practice

These type of energies produce a sweet and subtle sound when they are intensely vibrating. This sound is similar to that of the cricket. The student must learn how to handle this sound, as this is the subtle voice which grants us the power to consciously travel with our Astral Body.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

A practice

The student must arise from his bed in those precise instants in which he hears this mystical sound and direct himself to any place in the world. This is not a matter of performing it mentally. What we are teaching here must be performed in a factual action. The disciple with his astral body, is actually detaching himself from the physical body. He then penetrates into the superior worlds in order to study the great mysteries of life and death. Whosoever wants to learn how to sing these two sacred syllables should listen to Mozart’s Magic Flute.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

A practice

To cause the Subtle Voice, the Sound of Anahat, to resound in the cerebrum use the Sexual power of the two witnesses known in the Orient by the names of Ida and Pingala. The Anahat Sound is produced by the sexual energies in motion. It is already known that all motion produces sound. If one tries to cause the “Solar and Lunar atoms” of the seminal system to vibrate, the Anahat Sound will be produced louder, more intense, and will enable one to consciously leave in the Astral Body. Lull yourself to sleep, therefore, mentally vocalizing as follows: LAAAAAAAAAA... RAAAAAAAAA...

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

A practice

Therefore, the Solar Atoms resound with the Mantram: RA. The lunar atoms vibrate intensely with the Mantram: LA.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

A practice

LAAAAAAAAAA... RAAAAAAAAA... With these Mantrams, the aforementioned solar and lunar atoms will spin intensely like an electric whirlwind. Such motion produces the Anahat Sound with which the student can escape consciously from the Physical Body. The important thing is for him to get up while falling asleep, taking advantage of the mystical SOUND.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

A practice

Arcanum 10: The Wheel of Fortune. This is the Wheel of Samsara. Reincarnation! The incessant transmutation of the sexual force produces the anahata sound. With this sound we can go out in the astral body. When we want to listen to this mystical sound, we first vocalize the mantram “La,” alternating it with the mantram “Ra.” This is done mentally. When the sound is intense we can tranquilly go out in our astral body. And with the Arcanum A.Z.F., we free ourselves from evolution. For the man who has absolutely christified himself, evolution totally ceases to exist.

Magnus Opus also in Lust

A practiceNight 12

When you perform your practices, concentrate on the sharp chirping of the cricket. This chirping must sound from within the smallest cells of your brain. If this practice is done correctly, you will soon be in that transition between vigil and slumber. Increase the slumber and the sound of the crickets’ chirping by using your willpower. Then get up from your bed and with complete confidence leave your bedroom and go towards the temple of Chapultepec, or wherever else you wish to go. You must try not to lose the lucidity of your consciousness.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973 also in Desire and Will

A practice

Do not mentally get up from your bed; instead, actually get yourself up. Nature will take charge of separating your astral body from your physical body. The physical body will remain sleeping in its bed and the astral body will become free to travel wherever you wish.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

A practice

Without putting off the exercise delivered in the former chapter, lie down on your bed, and fall asleep while vocalizing the syllable LA; the intonation of this syllable corresponds to the natural note “fa” of the musical scale. You must prolong this syllable like this: LAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Immediately after, you must vocalize the syllable RA: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Chapter 5 Chac - Mool in the Aztec and Egyptian Cultures In the Museum of Anthropology and History in Mexico City there exists a stone figure of a man who is partially lying down in a dorsal decubitus position. The soles of his feet are resting on his bed; thus his knees are elevated. The backs of his thighs are pressed up against the backs of his calves because his legs are bent. His upper body is arched as if he may get up at his first impulse; his face is towards the left and his sight is fixed on the horizon. At the height of his solar plexus his hands hold a container.

Aztec Christic Magic, 1973

A practice

When the mind is calm, in deep silence, the student can inevitably listen o the SOUND OF THE CRICKET: a subtle, sharp, penetrating sound. Even more than that — if the Soul is absorbed in that mystical sound, the Doors of Mystery open up for the student. Therefore, in those instants, rise from the bed, instinctively, and leave the room to head for the Temples of the White Lodge, or to any place of the Universe.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

A practice

Whoever attempts and decides to hear that mystical SOUND, let him keep his mind in silence, not silenced; we repeat IN SILENCE. Let us distinguish between a mind that is calm, because it has comprehended that it is useless to think; and an artificially calmed mind. Differentiate between a mind that is in spontaneous, natural silence, and one that has been silenced by force, violently.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

A practice

The student can lull himself to sleep vocalizing the letter S. Like a peaceful and sweet hiss: SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. With the vocalization of the letter, he will acquire the capacity of resounding, in his brain, the SUBTLE VOICE, the SOUND OF ANAHAT, at will, which will allow him to leave consciously in the Astral Body.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

A practice

There exists a particular mystical sound that the yogi must learn to hear. The Aztecs knew this mystical sound. Let us remember the hill of Chapultepec. A cricket upon a hill is represented in a Mexican codex. In ancient Rome, during the time of the Caesars, the cricket was sold in golden cages at a very high price. Magicians of ancient Rome bought that little animal in order to use them in practical magic. If we have that little animal close to the head of our bed, and if we meditate on its delicious song, we will hear the still small voice in the instant of going to sleep. This phenomenon is equivalent to the phenomenon of two pianos that are equally tuned. If we play, for example, the note Ti on either piano, the other piano will repeat the same note without the touch of the human hand. This is a very interesting vibratory phenomenon that can be proven by anyone. This exact thing happens with the mysterious sound of the cricket. There exists in the human brain the musical sound that resounds when the little animal sings.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

Feeding this little animal is not a problem. We know that it nourishes itself with vegetables and it also eats clothes found in family homes. People are afraid of it because no one wants to lose their clothes. This little animal can easily be found in the country hills.

The Yellow Book, 1959

A practice

Whosoever hears the still voice can travel instantly in the astral body any time he wants. If the devotee concentrates on the sound of the cricket, or if the yogi meditates on the sound of the cricket and he goes to sleep while listening to that sound, suddenly the same mystic sound, the still small voice, will resound within his brain. Then the doors of the mystery will be opened. In those instants, the Gnostic can rise from his bed naturally and depart from his home in the astral body. This does not have to do with getting up with the mind, what we are saying must translate into actions. The devotee must rise from his bed with complete naturalness. Nature will act in those instants by separating the astral body from the physical body.

If the devotee wants to hear this mystic sound his concentration must be perfect. To begin with, the student will hear many sounds; yet, if he concentrates intensively on the sound of the cricket, eventually he will manage to hear it. Then he will attain victory. We inevitably attain illumination with this mystical sound.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

In the final synthesis this mystical sound is produced from the tranquil heart. The remote origin of this mystical sound must be searched for within the Divine Mother. The devotee must pray a lot, beseeching the Divine Mother to grant him the grace to hear the mystical sound.

Return into your body so that you may keep working on your meditation and concentrate again on the astral body, the black column of your living temple. Try to hear the sharp sound of the cricket (of which we talked about in chapter four). This sharp sound is the essence of the lost word INRI. Thus, without missing a moment of listening to this sharp sound, (that is now emerging from within the cells of your brain) concentrate on the white column, your mental body. Do not stop, keep meditating. Now, concentrate on your body of willpower until you attain cognizance of it; thus, when you have realized that you are not that body either, discard it from your mind saying: “I am not my body of willpower either.” Now take another step ahead in your meditation. Concentrate on your body of consciousness; identify it and realize that you are not this body. That it is only another of your marvelous vehicles of expression, and discard it by saying: “I am not my body of consciousness either.” Then you will ask yourself: “Who am I?” A sweet and affable voice will answer you: “You are me, the Innermost, the reflection of the Inner Christ, you and I are one.” In those moments try to identify yourself with your Inner Christ, feel that you are him and say: “I am he... I am he... I am he...”

And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: 23. “And after the earthquake afire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. 24. “And it was so, when Elijah heard it that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. “And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?” KINGS 29: 11-13 25. The slumbering disciple will meditate profoundly on the black column (the Astral body) and will try to hear the still small voice, while saying: “I am not the Astral body.” 26. The disciple will then meditate profoundly on the white column (the Mental body) and will try to hear the still small voice, the subtle voice, the essence of INRI, the sibilant “S,” the sharp sound of the crickets from the forests; thus, while making the effort of falling asleep profoundly, he will discard the Mental body by saying: “I am not the Mental body.”

Now let the disciple concentrate his mind on his Consciousness, on Buddhi (body of the Consciousness) and discard himself from that marvelous body by saying: “I am not the consciousness either.” 29. Now let the disciple concentrate himself in his Innermost, become profoundly asleep, take a totally infantile attitude and say: “I am the Innermost; I am the Innermost; I am the Innermost.” 30.

This last action must be done as is, with confidence and faith, because it is real and not fictitious. Neither mentalism nor suggestion exist in this practice. You must get up very carefully from your bed, so as not to wake yourself. Then, you must leave your room by walking as naturally as you do when you travel to your work daily. Before leaving your room, you must perform a little jump with the intention of floating. If you float, then direct yourself towards the Gnostic Church, or to the house of the sick person whom you need to heal. Yet, if you do not float when performing the little jump, then, return into your bed and repeat the experiment. During this practice, do not worry about your physical body. Let Nature perform it, and do not doubt, because if you do so the experiment will be lost.

A practiceNight 14

The Gnostic takes advantage of the natural state of transition between vigil and dream in order to leave his physical body. This is done with much naturalness as when one is walking out of his home. The individual simply pronounces the mantra “RUSTI”, and in the moment when he is getting drowsy, he gets out of his bed, not with the mind, nor the imagination, but as if he is really doing it with his body of flesh and bones. Hence, the physical body remains within the bed. The mantra is pronounced many times like this: RRRRRRUUUUUUSSSSSSSSTIIIIIIIIIIII…..

When the disciple is already falling asleep, when he finds himself in that precise state of transition between vigil and sleep, he should rise from his bed without hesitation, laziness, doubts, reasoning, naturally, like a reflex or in an instinctive manner, automatically, and absolutely childlike. Observe the birds: When they are going to fly, they do not reason about it, they do not harbor doubts nor preconceptions, but simply fly away instinctively; we can say: automatically. The disciple should proceed in that manner: imitate the birds. He should rise, therefore, from the bed and leave the room and head for any Corner of the infinite, or wherever he likes. When we say that the student should RISE from the bed, this should be translated into effective and immediate actions, without stopping to think.

When the theurgist “leaves” the physical body, he travels to the sidereal temples in the following manner: The astral body begins to walk in the form of concentric circles, with the intention of reaching the heart-temple of a specific star. The panorama of things change in a few instants, the theurgist is in the presence of the sidereal temple and the guardians of the columns “J” and “B”. The theurgist will make the strictly required salutes as we have taught in the previous pages, take the seven steps inside the heart-temple of the star and will then kneel at the feet of the Sidereal Genie. If the Genie says: “granted”, the disciple asks for “choir”; the Genie will make a sign and the army of the verb will begin to sing in sacred language to carry out the “work that we have asked for”. The army of the verb creates with the word. In these sublime moments we go into ecstasy. Entire Nature kneels before the Sidereal Gods and their ineffable canto elevates us to the plethora of light.

The vowel “E” makes the thyroid gland vibrate and confers upon man the power of occult hearing. The “G” awakens the chakra of the liver, and when this chakra has reached its full development, a man may then enter and leave the body whenever he wishes.

The vowel “I”, combined with the letter “P”, develops clairvoyance in man, and the power which enables man to project the Astral Body through the Window of Brahma, which is the pineal gland. The letter “T” strikes upon the vowel “O”, which is intimately related with the chakra of the heart, and thus man is able to acquire the power to detach himself from this plexus and leave in the Astral Body. The correct pronunciation of the mantram is: EEEEGGGGIIIIIIPTOOOO. They who have not yet been able to project the Astral Body with the keys we have given, are unable to do so because they do not have that power. So, they must firstly acquire it by vocalising for an hour daily the mantram “EGIPTO”. This mantram develops totally the chakras related with the projection of the Astral Body, and the disciple thus acquires the power of astral projection. The disciple will be able to enter and leave the physical body at will.

Jesus, the Great Hierophant said, “Help yourself and I will help you.” So then, the Gnostic student should take account of these words of the Master. The mantra to go out in the astral body as we have taught in this chapter are marvelous. The invocation to the Master Lakhsmi is magnificent, marvelous, but the Gnostic student must help him self, must concentrate on the navel. He must fall asleep singing the mantra mentally, and when he finds himself dozing, when he feels that lassitude characteristic of sleep he should imagine himself to be a breeze, a gas, something subtle, to feel himself to be completely aerial and gaseous, and in that state, feeling thus, aerial and subtle, to forget the heaviness of the physical body, to think that he can fly anywhere because he no longer has weight of any kind. Forgetting his physical body, feeling like a cloud, aroma, breeze, divine breath, he should leap up from his bed. Do not try to leap mentally; it is urgent that all this is translated into action, into concrete acts. Once outside the physical body, leave your house and direct yourself in the astral body to the Gnostic Church, or to whichever place you want. With the astral body one can travel to other planets. With the astral body one can visit the most distant places of the cosmos, the Mystery Temples etc.

There are elementals that help us with astral travel. Let us remember the elemental of that tree known in different countries as Borrachero, Angels Trumpet, Flower of the Night. This elemental can take the human being out in the astral body. It is enough for the Gnostic student to always have one of these trees in his home. It is necessary to gain the affection of the elemental of the tree. During the night the Gnostic student concentrates on the elemental of the tree. He will vocalise the syllable KAM many times and then fall asleep begging the elemental of the tree to take him from the physical body into the astral body, to whatever remote part of the world, of the infinite cosmos. The vegetable elemental will help all those who in truth know how to ask with faith and Love. This tree is known as Floripondio in Peru; Higanton in Bolivar, Colombia. Many people triumph with these practices immediately because they are hypersensitive but, on the other hand there are people who are not hypersensitive. These people need to practise a great deal to attain victory.

Then, the disciple, while laying on his bed, was going to sleep and I was commanding the elemental to take that disciple out from his physical body. These commands were accompanied with the mantra of this tree, which is “KAM” and must be pronounced by prolonging the sound of the two last letters, like this: KAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM All of our Gnostic disciples of this day and age must employ the powers of this elemental in order to learn how to consciously depart in astral body. For this purpose, just proceed as we have just taught. You must imperiously command the elemental like this: “When I call you, you will always assist me. I need you to take me out in my astral body every time that I command you to do so.”

Anytime the disciple can visit this tree he must do it in order to water it, bless it and to cut its flowers, which he will utilize whenever he wishes to do so. As we have already stated, these flowers must be crushed with a stone, then their juice is extracted and applied over the brain in order to depart in astral body. It is beneficial to warn that the application of this juice is performed at the time when the disciple will lay down on his bed, when he is going to sleep. However, when the flowers are not available, the disciple must invoke his serving elemental in order for the elemental to take him out in his astral body.

These mantras are found to be closely related to the elemental class of birds and it is evident that they will effectively assist the devotee by helping in the work of astral projection. Each bird is the physical body of an elemental and they always assist the neophyte provided that there is proper conduct. If the aspirant is eager for assistance from the elemental class of birds, they must learn to love them. Those who commit the crime of confining creatures of Heaven in abominable cages, will never receive this help. Feed the birds of Heaven, transform yourself into a liberator of these creatures, open the doors of their prisons and you will be helped by them.

This key is that of discernment. During the day we must ask ourselves this question, “Am I in my body or outside of my body?” Then jump up, take a little leap with the intention of floating in space, and if you float it is because you are outside of your body. Then, suspended in space, go where your heart leads you. You must ask yourself this question in the presence of anything that is odd. Suppose that you are walking down the street and you encounter a friend that you haven’t seen for some time, ask yourself this question at that time, “Am I in my body or outside of it?”

Book of the Virgin of Carmel, 1952 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

Take a little jump with the intention of floating, and if you float it is because your body is asleep in your bed, and you are outside of it. Go then to where your heart carries you, to that person who is absent from you, to your distant child, to your beloved one.

A practice

You should ask yourself this question during the day, in the presence of anything that is curious, such as a disturbance, a rare object, encountering a dead person, meeting a distant friend, etc. In short, ask yourself this question in the presence of anything out of the ordinary. One should practice this key of discernment during the day, at every turn, in every moment, in order to ingrain it well into our soul, and the key will activate during sleep.

Book of the Virgin of Carmel, 1952 also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

A practice

Everything that one does during the day one also does during sleep, and if during the day one accustoms oneself to this practice, during the night you will find yourself doing it in the hours of sleep when the soul is outside of the body. And then, upon asking yourself the question, take a little jump such as the one you did during the day, and your consciousness will awaken. You will float in space and visit distant people, and absent child, a mother who hasn’t had any news, etc. During the hours of sleep the soul is outside of the body. The important thing is that the soul realizes that it is functioning outside of the body, so that it can visit any distant place. This is the key of discernment: If, being outside of the body, we invoke with a pure heart the Virgin of Carmel, then, the Divine Mother of the Nazarene will attend our call and we can converse with her. And if, being outside of the body, we invoke the Angel Gabriel, asking him for the Annunciation, then he can tell the husband and wife on which day and at what hour they can make love. And in this way women can conceive their children through the work and grace of the Holy Spirit, that is to say , by command of the Holy Spirit.

If you are really an unconscious individual like this, then you are not of use as an Initiate. Since a disciple of the Masters upon seeing such a strange ting, like an elephant or a crocodile entering into the house, or a dead person, or a mysterious artifact, or simply any curious thing, the first thing they do is ask themselves: Where am I? Am I in the physical world, or in the Astral World?

The Elementary Level Perfect Matrimony, 1950

A practice

Initiation is not a matter of theories, but of realities. “Absolutely practical.” The first thing that is needed is to awaken the Consciousness. It happens that human beings during the normal hours of sleep, when they are not in the physical body, they roam around through the Astral absolutely asleep and they concern themselves with the same things of the day. These sleeping people are not of use as initiates. I know hundreds of theosophists and rosacrucians that do nothing but live asleep and even though they pay dues and read books, and show themselves to be authoritarians before others, at heart, they a re nothing but poor sleeping people. So, the first thing that is needed is to awaken the Consciousness, and in order for that there is a necessity to cultivate discernment. For example, if you, dear reader, in the moments in which you find yourself reading this book, see an elephant or crocodile enter into your house, would that not be strange to you? Are you such an unconscious an individual that it would not even occur to you to investigate this curious nonsense? Would you continue asleep?

Naturally, the neophyte should jump with the intention of floating, and it is logical, that if they float it is because they find themselves in the Astral World, and then full of happiness they awaken in this world and direct themselves then, to the “Hall of Children,” or to the Gnostic Church, where the Masters teach them, and help. Many times a beautiful sunset, or an encounter with a dead person, or simply any small insignificant detail is sufficient in order for the Chela to asks themselves this question: Am I in the physical plane or am I in the Astral plane? This exercise is called discernment, and it is necessary to become accustomed to it, practicing it during the vigil so that it is engraved in the subconscious, and acts during sleep. And is this way the moment arrives in which the human being acquires continuous Consciousness, and then he is now an Initiate of the White Lodge. Do you believe that “Maord Maorc” of the third degree is going to be of much use to you? Are these these black magicians of the third degree believing that their little password “arco” is a great thing?

5th Keeping in mind that the soul wanders in all the familiar places or locations during ordinary sleep and that in a state of drowsiness it is occupied in the same trades and toils of the day, you should become accustomed to asking yourselves during the entire day: Where am I? Am I within the body or out of it? Then you will take a little hop with the intention of floating. It is logical that if you float, it is because you are out of the body, and if you do not float, it is because you are still in flesh and bones and continue your path. But, if you manage to float, ask your Inner-Self to take you to the Holy Gnostic Church.

One should ask this question in the presence of something which attracts his or her attention, such as a crowd of people, a funeral procession, a strange object, etc. Many have awakened their consciousness with this formidable clue, because on asking this question, they floated in the air and realized that they were out of the body and that the body had been left asleep in bed. “It is because the soul wanders when the body sleeps.” But the soul can come out of its unconscious drowsiness with this clue. During the day, you should become accustomed to this exercise so that it be recorded in the subconscious and act, during sleep. 6th Before falling asleep in your bed, you will do the following exercise of auto suggestion: “I am going to sleep. Wherever I appear now is because I am in the astral body. I will recognize myself, I will recognize myself I will recognize myself and will direct myself to the Gnostic Church.” You can do this auto-suggestion for half an hour and then peacefully fall asleep.

Let’s see: If you are going down a street and you meet a friend, or you see objects that attract your attention, take a small jump with the intention of floating; it is logical that if you float it is because you are outside the physical body.

This exercise is practiced at every instant during the vigil state before the presence of anything unusual. What is done in the vigil state is repeated during dreaming. If we do this exercise during sleep, the result will be that we will remain floating in the astral body when we jump. Our consciousness will then awaken and full of happiness we shall say, “I am in the astral body.”

The Greater Mysteries, 1956 also in Awakening

A practice

EXERCISE: During the vigil state, in each instant during the hustle and bustle of daily life, we need to get accustomed to the exercise of “discernment.” When a student sees, for example a beautiful sunset with all its purple colors, the most logical thing that should be done is to ask oneself: Am I in the Astral Body? Am I travelling out of the Physical Body?

Next, try taking a small jump, a hop upwards, with the intention of floating. If he manages to float it is because he is in the Astral Body. It is because he left his Physical Body sleeping in bed, inactive, although with all its vital faculties. Gnostic disciples should admit and remember that during sleep the souls astrally see things exactly the same as those existing in the physical world; because of that, anyone firmly believes he is in the Physical Body. It is just that the Law of Levitation reigns in the Internal Worlds while in the Physical World the Law of Gravity reigns!

Therefore, the small jump solves the problem and if one floats in the Astral, consciousness awakens. Every detail, everything worthy of curiosity, every beautiful view of Nature, should be a reason for the student to ask that question and to execute the hop.

To achieve the former statement we recommend that every time you come across other people, events or unusual things that call your attention, discern and ask yourself: Am I within my physical body or within my astral body? Then perform a little jump in order to see if you can float; if you can float, it is because you are in the astral body; if you do not float, it is because you are in the physical body. Within the internal worlds we act as if we are in the body of bones and flesh, as if we were physically awakened. There is no difference between these two worlds, between the physical and the astral. (Read The Thousand and One Phantoms by Alexandre Dumas).

What we usually perform during the vigil state we also perform during the slumber state. Therefore, if during the day you practice the former key, that is, to perform a little jump in order to be sure in which of your bodies you are wandering in, then during the night when you leave your bed within your astral body you will also jump but you will remain floating within space while your physical body remains asleep in your bed. Thus you will attend beautiful rituals and classes where the Great Masters teach within the Gnostic temples that exist within the Jinn state in various parts of this country and the world. Unarguably, the secret teachings of the Nahuas are common to all people from the most remote antiquity. Amongst the Hungarian legends there is mention of “monolithic people” whose indescribable characters are similar to those that exist on a gigantic bolder lost in a remote valley of Yucatan, Mexico.

The human being who is fascinated does not remember himself. We must self-remember from moment to moment. We need to Self-Remember in the presence of every representation that could fascinate us. Let us pause before every representation and ask ourselves: Where am I? Am I in the physical plane? Am I in the astral plane? Then give a little jump with the intention of floating in the surrounding atmosphere. It is logical that if you float it is because you are outside the physical body. The result will be the awakening of consciousness. The object of asking this question in each moment is so that it becomes engraved in the subconscious, so that it may manifest later during the hours given to sleep, hours when the ego is really outside the physical body. You should know that in astral, things appear just as here in the physical plane. During sleep, and after death, people see everything there in a form so similar to the physical world, that because of this they do not even suspect that they are outside the physical body. No dead person ever believes himself to have died; he is fascinated and profoundly asleep. If, during life, the dead had made a practice of remembering them selves from moment to moment, if they had struggled against the fascination of the things of the world, the result would have been the awakening of consciousness. They would not dream. They would walk in the internal worlds with awakened consciousness. Whoever awakens consciousness can study during the hours of sleep all the marvels of the superior worlds. Whoever awakens the conscious ness lives in the superior worlds as a totally awakened citizen of the Cosmos. Then he lives with the Great Hierophants of the White Lodge.

Then, perform a small jump and if you float it is because you are within your Astral body. Thus, you can fly and direct yourself to any place in the world. If you do not float, it is because you are within your body of flesh and bones.

When one practices this exercise during the day, then it is repeated during one’s dreams and the result is that the consciousness awakens and experiences a lucid dream. One becomes aware that one is out from the physical body in the Astral world.

You have seen perfectly that, many times, one dreams about events that have happened during the day. It can also happen that one is very worried and one dreams about the same worries at night. Well, using precisely this aspect of the mind, it is advisable to practice this exercise intensively. Once one gets used to it, once one gets accustomed to it, it is afterward automatically repeated during the hours of sleep and then the result is the awakening of the Consciousness. Because if one practices this exercise when one is outside the body, obviously, the result is the awakening of the Consciousness, because upon making the small jump, one floats and awakens. But one has to really get used to this exercise in the wakefulness state so it is repeated automatically during sleep.

Upon observing a place, we should never forget the matter of the seven dimensions of nature; it is convenient, therefore, to ask ourselves: “In what dimension am I? Then, it is necessary, in the way of verification, to take the highest possible jump with the intention of floating in the surrounding atmosphere. It is logical that if we float it is because we are outside of the physical body. We should never forget that when the physical body sleeps, the Ego with the Lunar Bodies and the Essence within, unconsciously ambulates like a somnambulist in the Molecular World. The Division of Attention into Subject, Object and Place, leads to the awakening of Consciousness.

Within this Place factor, we should include the dimensional issue, since it could be the case that we are really in the fourth or in the fifth dimension of nature during the moment of observation; let us remember that nature has seven dimensions.

Next, carefully observe all your surroundings. Look well at the sky with inquisitive eyes, and at the details of the inner worlds; at times a dramatic interplay of strange colors, at times some strange animal, the ghost of a deceased loved one, etc. These things will confirm to you that you are outside of the physical body, at that time the consciousness will awaken. In those moments of reflection and self-remembering, it is also very useful to take a small jump with the intention of floating in the surrounding atmosphere. It is logical that if we float it is because we are outside of the physical body. If during the dream state the sleeping person asks himself similar reflective questions, it is logical that he will awaken consciousness. If after death the “Ego” asks itself similar questions in the presence of any image or representation, it would awaken instantly. Unfortunately, it does not occur to the “Ego” to ask such questions, because never in life did it become accustomed to do so. It is necessary to take up this habit and live it intensely. It is only in this way that asking ourselves such questions—while dreaming and after death—can occur to us. The result of such a practice is the awakening of consciousness. All those who awaken consciousness become clairvoyant. All those who awaken consciousness live, during the sleep of the physical body, completely awake in the superior worlds. The Great Masters do not dream.

Master: Upon asking the question to oneself, instead of giving explanations to oneself, one must open himself to what is new and then do the experiment. If one cannot make the small jump inside the place where one is listening to the conference, then ask for permission and do what I did: go out and make the jump outside, maybe on a street, maybe in a courtyard, to clearly see whether he is in astral or not.

But it happens that, many times, the individual, even when he asks himself that question and even when he makes the jump, he does not float, because his mind puts weight unconsciously to that which has no weight. That is, subconsciously or infra-consciously, he is believing that he is in the physical, and then, upon making the jump, he adds the weight –which does not exist– with his mind, and then he has weight – even if he does not have weight, he has weight–. So the individual deceives himself by saying: “I’m in the physical world,” and he fails in the experiment.

No! One must get out from doubt. If upon making the jump, he does not float, then he must climb onto something and throw himself into space. But be careful! Do not climb onto a very high tower and throw yourselves from there and kill yourselves; or from a bridge, or down a staircase, and you become crippled or die, no! What I mean to say is that you climb on a chair, on a sofa, on one of those things, that is, an object that, upon jumping, you are not going to break a foot, right? And you will then see that if you are in astral, you will float. Let us see... Tell me, brother. Disciple: Master, in some explanations a missionary has given us, for example he has told us that when one asks oneself, with respect to the subject, “who am I?” to keep an eye on oneself, one answers one-self: “I am so and so”. It doesn’t seem to me that this has to be like that, but rather “who am I?” would be to observe myself. I would like you to explain that to us.

Master: Well, at that moment, what one has to do is to not forget oneself, that is all, just like that. There is no need to ask oneself who am I or anything like that. At that instant –I repeat– what one has to do is to never forget oneself. Object: to contemplate every object to see what strange and weird thing you can see. Place: why am I here? It is a question one has to ask oneself. If I live somewhere else, what am I doing here? Disciple: Is this constantly, Master? Master: That must be done from instant to instant, from moment to moment. At the beginning, a serious discipline is needed for one’s attention to be divided in three parts. Afterward there is no need to do the discipline, afterward this becomes completely instinctive and works in you almost automatically. For example, I never do this thing to myself with forced or rigorous discipline; in me it is already instinctive. I am here talking, at this moment, before you, and I am already alert, vigilant. I already know where I am and all that, and if we were in astral, I would already know by now that we are in astral without the need to behave in accordance with this rigorous discipline. I made it instinctive, it became a function of my instinctive center. But for it to become a function of the instinctive center, it is necessary first that the instinctive center goes through the sieve of a rigorous discipline. At the beginning it is hard while it becomes instinctive; after it becomes instinctive, it works automatically. Let us see... Disciple: Master, even when we go to sleep, one has to try to enter sleep in those conditions?

Master: Upon going to sleep, it is advisable naturally that one observes his room rigorously and says to himself: “Well, this is my room”; that he looks at his ceiling, if the ceiling is painted with such and such color “the walls of my room are painted with such and such color.” To observe them rigorously, to observe all the objects in the room and then to say to himself: “If I were to appear, after this instant in which I am observing, somewhere else, whether on the street or talking with friends or at work, that is, in that place or in those places where I am all the time, or in any other place where I’m not used to being, it is a sign that I will be in the astral body and then I will remember and I will remember and I will remember, and I will make the small jump with the intention of floating. I will do this, I will do this, I will do this!”. Well, practice this exercise for about half an hour or one hour before falling asleep. If this is combined with the practice of the division of attention in the three parts –subject, object, place– I am absolutely sure that you will achieve the awakening of the Consciousness very quickly.

Then they looked at me surprised. Some of them studied esotericism, occultism, etc. in the physical world. They did not understand me; they looked at each other and one of them said to me. “No! We are in the physical world. Are you crazy? Where are you taking this from, that we are in astral?” I told them: “Yes, we are in astral.” But since no one wanted to believe me, I left that room, and after I left that room, I went to a certain place with the purpose of doing esoteric investigations, etc. And then I returned, certainly, to the physical body. But see how I awakened, by means of the division of attention in three parts: subject, object, place. Now our brother R. is going to ask a question here. Disciple: I want to ask you, Master, if at the same time that one asks oneself the question “what am I doing here?”, in a conference, for example, if I should give the answer to myself, give the explanation to myself.

Only then does he discover that, which before he dreamed of. Only then does he come to know that which is called Love. This awaken ing is similar to that of the man who, being far from the physical body in the astral body, realises that he has awakened conscious ness. People walk asleep in the astral. When someone realises that he is dreaming and then says, “This is a dream, I am dreaming, I am in the astral body, I am outside my physical body”, the dream disappears as if by magic and then the individual is awake in the astral world. A new and marvellous world appears before he who before was dreaming his consciousness has awakened. Now he can know all the marvels of nature. So also is the awakening of Love. Before that awakening we dream about Love. We take those dreams as reality believe we are loving, live in a world of passions, romances, occasionally delicious, disillusionments, vain oaths, carnal desires, jealousies etc., etc., and believe that this is love. We are dreaming and we ignore it.

So while his body is asleep in bed, the disciple in the internal worlds will become an invisible help and a worker under the orders of the Universal White Fraternity. Before, the chakras turned from right to left and now with these exercises, they will turn positively like the hands of the clock. These exercises will totally impede him from dreaming again and while his body sleeps, he will be conscious in the internal worlds. That will be the result of these exercises. The conscience of dreams is a remnant of our animal conscience that we once possessed. Animals live a life of pictorial dreams. There will be many who will have difficulty “leaving” in the astral body at will, but by all means the exercises of this lesson of Gemini, will “inevitably” awaken their conscience and so, while their bodies sleep in their beds, they, too, will work consciously in the internal worlds. The important thing is that on awakening, they remember well their astral experience, which “are no longer dreams” but rather “conscious experiences”. To obtain this it is necessary that on awakening, not to move and do a retrospective exercise to remember well all we did white we were out of the physical body, since while every individual’s body is asleep, he is out of the body; those with asleep conscience, “dreaming” and those with awake conscience, “working” consciously.

The Path of High Theurgy allows us to study the Great Mysteries of Life and Death. However, it is necessary to learn how to consciously travel in the astral body. Those who do not as yet have that faculty need to acquire it. A daily, vigorous training is necessary to obtain this faculty. After returning to the body, we awaken in bed. Many students commit the error of moving in their bed at the precise instant of awakening from their normal sleep. With this movement, the astral body becomes agitated and memories are lost. On awakening from his normal sleep, the student of Occultism should not move! He should remain resting, close his eyes and do a retrospective exercise to minutely remember all those places where he was in the astral body, all those words he heard, said, etc. For this kind of investigation, the Mediums of Spiritualism are useless. It so happens that Mediums do not have enough mental equilibrium. Mediums are victims of Tenebrous Entities. The Mental Body is dislocated in Mediums. By this, we mean that the Mental and Astral Bodies of the Medium are dislocated. With these two vehicles in this condition, Mediums do not possess the mental equilibrium, the exact logic that is needed to investigate the causes and effects of Nature. We already know that the Natural Laws are wisely processed. Every effect has its cause. Every cause is the effect of another Superior Cause. Often times, we have listened to many unbalanced individuals who say that they communicate with Entities from Beyond! Usually, those subjects are Mediums. It is necessary to know that the Investigator of the Superior Worlds should possess a fault less mental equilibrium. The true Investigator is profoundly analytical and vigorously exact. We are mathematical in Investigation and very demanding in expression.

This is one way of placing the Subconscious at the service of the conscious will. Upon returning to the Physical Body, after sleep, on returning to the normal vigil state, the student should not move in his bed, since in this movement of the Physical Body, the Astral body is agitated and the memories are lost. In such a moment the student should practice a retrospective exercise to remember where he was, the places where he traveled, and the things he learned while acting in the Astral Body.

Rest assured that with the Clue here revealed, innumerable, are the disciples who have managed to awaken consciousness in the Internal Worlds. The important thing is to practice it constantly, during the vigil state, so that it may be recorded in the Subconscious and acts automatically during sleep.

Upon waking from normal sleep, every Gnostic student should do a retrospective exercise on the process of sleep, to remember all those places he visited during the hours of sleep. We already know that the ego travels a great deal, going to where we have been, repeating all that we saw and heard. The Masters instruct their disciples when out of the physical body. It is urgent to know how to meditate profoundly and then practice what we learned during the hours of sleep. It is necessary not to move at the time of awakening because with this movement the astral is agitated and the memories are lost. It is urgent to combine the retrospective exercises with the following mantram; RAOM - GAOM. Each word is divided into two syllables. One should accentuate the vowel O. This mantra is for the student what dynamite is for the miner. Just as the miner opens a way through the bowels of the earth with the aid of dynamite, so also, the student opens a way to the memories of the subconscious with the aid of this mantra.

Upon waking up physically in the morning, after your sleep, one must remain still in one’s bed, not move, because with any movement the psyche of the person, of the individual, is agitated, and the memories are lost; to be still in one’s bed, and then practice a retrospective exercise to remember meticulously the places where one walked, the people with whom one spoke, the state in which one was – whether asleep or awake– outside the physical body, etc. The very memories that he will be obtaining, will be indicating to him if he is awakening or if he is not awakening and to what degree he is awakening.

So, therefore I clarify: this exercise of the division of attention in three parts –subject, object, and place– is practiced in wakefulness from second to second, from instant to instant, from moment to moment until it becomes a habit, until it becomes instinct; afterward, this will work in one instinctively. But at the beginning, and for a long time, it is necessary that this be practiced in a rigorous esoteric discipline. It will happen that this exercise, practiced in wakefulness, will be etched so much in the subconscious that it will then work automatically during the hours of sleep.

During the hours of ordinary sleep all human beings act and travel in their astral body; however upon awakening, not all of us remember what we saw, heard or did while acting within that body. Therefore, in the mornings, upon awakening from one’s dreams, one must perform the effort to remember all which one had dreamt. One’s dreams are nothing more than experiences within the astral world. One must carefully take note of all of them in a notebook.

Lie down on your bed and with all the muscles of your body relaxed, slumber while thinking that the fire of the Holy Spirit continues to descend from heaven (as in the former practice) and enters into your head through the pineal gland.

The pituitary gland is situated in the mid-brow. See it fill with fire and spin upon itself. While in that state of consciousness, vocalize the syllable IN, as follows: IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN Feel as if you are floating on an ocean of fire.

Before retiring to your bed at the end of your daily routine, it is advisable to pay attention to the state you are in. Devotees whose circumstances make them lead a sedentary life will gain a lot if, before going to bed, they have a short, but very lively walk outdoors. A walk will relax the muscles. I must clarify, however, that we must never abuse physical exercises; we need to live in harmony. Supper, or the final meal of the day, must be light and free of heavy or stimulating foods. Foods that keep us awake or alter our sleep should be avoided.

The highest way of thinking is not thinking. When the mind is quiet and silent — free of daily routine and mundane anxiety — it is then in a state that is one hundred percent favourable for the Dream Yoga practice. When the Superior Emotional centre is actually working, the thinking process stops, at least for a brief moment. Evidently, the cited centre is activated with Dionysian intoxication. Such rapture is possible when listening with infinite devotion to the delightful symphonies of Wagner, Mozart, Chopin, and others.

We should review our pad or notebook every month in order to verify the gradual progression of our dream memory. Any possibility of forgetting a dream must be eliminated.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

A practice

We cannot continue further with practices unless we have achieved perfect memory. Of particular interest are those dreams which seem to come from past centuries, or that unfold in environments totally unrelated to the vigil existence of the dreamer. One must be in a “watchful perceptive” or “alert anew” state, and pay attention to the study of details which include specific matters, conversations, meetings, temples, or unusual activities which relate to other people.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

A practice

On reaching this stage of Dream Yoga discipline, it is indispensable to approach the Tantric aspect of the matter. Ancient wisdom teaches that Tonantzin, (Devi Kundalini) our Divine Cosmic individual Mother (each of us has our own), can take any form, for She is the origin of all forms. Therefore, the Gnostic should meditate upon Her before falling asleep.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

A practice

The candidate will start — daily — his dreaming process by repeating, with great faith, the following prayer: “Tonantzin, Teteoinan, O! My Mother, come to me, come to me!” According to Tantric science, if the Gnostic persists with this practice, sooner or later an Initiator Element will come forth from the changing and formless expressions of his dreams. As long as this Initiator has not been totally identified, it is indispensable to continue recording dreams on the pad or notebook. The study and profound analysis of every recorded dream becomes indispensable in Tantric Dream esoteric discipline. This didactic progression will lead us to the discovery of the Initiator or Unifier Element of dreams.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

A practice

In other words, the aspirant tries to be conscious of his own dream; that is why he intentionally goes on with it, but carries it to the vigil state, in full lucidity and selfcontrol. Hence, he becomes a spectator and actor of a dream with the advantage — certainly not insignificant — of being able to abandon the scene at will in order to move freely in the Astral World. Then the aspirant, free of the limitations of the flesh, outside the physical body, will have discarded his old familiar environment and penetrated a universe ruled by different laws. The discipline of the dream state of Tantric Buddhists methodically leads us to the awakening of our Consciousness.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974 also in Awakening

A practice

Some people, who are highly psychic, refined or susceptible to impressions, have always possessed in themselves the Initiator Element. These people are characterised by the continuous repetition of the same dream. These psychics re-live periodically various scenes, or see in their dream experiences — constantly a creature or a symbol.... Every time the candidate wakes up from ordinary sleep, and remembers the Initiator Element, (be it a symbol, a sound, a colour, a person, etc.) he keeps his eyes closed, and goes on with the visualisation of that familiar image. He will then try to go back to sleep to continue the same dream.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

A practice

When the Gnostic has kept a record of his dreams, he unquestionably discovers a dream that recurs. This, among other reasons, certainly justifies writing all dreams in his notebook or pad. That dream experience — always recurring — is the Initiator Element that, wisely used, leads us to the awakening of the Consciousness.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

A practice

Every time the mystic lies on his bed, goes to sleep and meditates at will on the Initiator Element, the result is immediate. Usually, the anchorite relives such dreams consciously, and is able to leave the scene at will, to travel in the supra-sensible worlds. Any dream can be used for such purposes when we actually know the technique. Whoever awakens from a dream can continue with it intentionally, if desiring to do so. In this case, he must go back to sleep and re-live that dream experience with imagination. We must not imagine that we are imagining. Fundamentally, we should re-live the dream in its full and crude reality. Repeating the dream intentionally is the first step towards the awakening of the Consciousness. The voluntary separation from the dream, in plain action, is the second step.

It is also indispensable that the disciple learns to “enter” through the doors of those “sidereal” temples in the astral body. The main exercises of Gemini have as objective, to learn the use and maneuver of the astral body. In this sign, we also teach our disciples the secret art of the “Jinn” states, that will allow them to “carry” their physical bodies to the most secluded and remote places of the earth, in a few instants. We will give various clues in a numerical form: 1st The disciple should lie on his bed in a horizontal position. Relax the body so that no muscle applies pressure on the astral body. Become drowsy pronouncing the mantram “Rusti” like this: Ruuuuuuussssstiiiiiii. This mantram is pronounced mentally. In those instants, the student should become a “spy of his own sleep”

5. To converse with the sidereal Gods we should learn to leave our physical body. 6. In Astral body we have learn to transport ourselves to the temple of the sidereal Gods. 7. Being outside the body the magician walks in circles from right to left, placing the imagination and will on the planetary temple he desires to visit. 8. Then the magician will follow a straight line walking in the direction of the temple. 9. To the right of every cosmic temple there is a white column.

10. To the left of every cosmic temple there is a black column. 11. The magician greets the guardian on the right, saying: JACHIN 12. The magician greets the guardian on the left, saying: BOHAZ. 13. In the interior of the temple we can speak with the planetary Gods to get to know our authentic and legitimate horoscopes.

31. The disciple will sit comfortably in a chair and will then concentrate his Mind on his INNER-SELF, saying: 32. “You who art myself, my true BEING. 33. Leave my body, enter the doors of the heart temple of (here one names the planet which one will work with in those instants).” 34. Then the words, JACHIN, BOHAZ are pronounced.

35. Next, the Magician asks the Sidereal Genie with whom one is working, for the desired service: love, journeys, business, etc. 36. The magician will clamor several times asking for: CHORUS, CHORUS, CHORUS; and the angels will work, but according to the Law. 37. The planetary LOGOS will send choruses of angels to work with the magician, to dominate and overcome. 38. This is how one works with the ray of the stars. This is how our disciples can solve their particular problems.

There is a key to transfer oneself to that constellation. The key is to meditate profoundly on a “yellow stone” that exists in the astral. Do this exercise in the moments of transition between vigil and sleep and thou shall then transfer thyself in the astral body to the largest star of the ‘Ursa Major’, where a powerful and gigantic civilization exists. Since the seventeenth century, the earth entered a new era of spiritual awakening. That awakening will shine in all its splendor in the sign of Aquarius, the present era. The cause of that awakening is due to the influence of the great enlightened “Buddha” who in the seventeenth century became the redeemer of the Martian humanity, was crucified in the forces of Mars, to redeem the Martians and help our terrestrial humanity with “BuddhicMartian” forces that radiate from Mars. Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Orifiel are the four Lords that rule the karmic balance of the four winds (North, South, East and West). These are the four angels of the four cardinal points of the earth. Esoteric Astrology should live within the law of perfect equilibrium.

A practice

Ancient men grew spiritually under the influence of the “Ursa Major” and students should meditate intensely on the ‘Ursa Major’ if they want to awaken consciousness. That constellation radiates powerful spiritual forces and man should learn to converse with the sidereal genii of that constellation.

The Chela (disciple) who wants to visit the morning star with his astral body will operate in the following way: With his body well relaxed, he will lay down. He will get a little bit drowsy and will vocalize with his mind the following prayer: Llanos... Llanos... Llanos... Help me, Lla... ma... dor... Lla... ma... dor... Lla... nos... Lla... nos... Lla... nos...

Then, when the disciple finds himself already drowsy (half asleep), he must sit softly on his bed, throw the blanket off of him with which he is covered and get down from his bed. Thus, when he is standing on the floor, he must jump with the intention of floating within the air. If he floats, then he must go out from his house while floating in the atmosphere and while pronouncing the invocation of the Master Llanos, pronouncing it in the same way as when he was doing it on his bed.

The Master Llanos is an inhabitant of the planet Venus. He will hear the call from the invoker (the llamador). He will help him in order to arrive to Venus, the star of the Roses, the morning star.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

The disciple will be welcomed by the Master Llanos when arriving to Venus and if he wants wisdom, then, the Master will illuminate him. The disciple will be overwhelmed because of the ineffable resplendence which springs out from the aura and from the diamond tunic of the Master Llanos. This Master has already united himself with his Glorian. Therefore, he wears a diamond tunic.

The Gnostic knows how to enter into Nirvana by utilizing the powers of his Intimate. When the Gnostic wants to visit Nirvana he does the following: First, he leaves his physical body and departs in his astral body.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

A practice

Second, when he is already out of his physical body, then he prays to his Intimate as follows: “Father of mine, take me to Nirvana.” Then, the Intimate transports the soul of the Gnostic towards the ineffable joys of Nirvana.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

A practice

The disciple will start to learn how to depart from his physical body in his astral vehicle. Later on, when he is Out of his body, he will beg his Intimate to take his inferior vehicles out from him. Then, his Intimate will take his astral, mental, causal, etc., vehicles out from the atomic doors of his spinal column. When we are without those inferior vehicles, we learn to move ourselves in the Buddhic and Atmic vehicles by will.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

This interesting experiment is performed in the following way: 1. The Magician must abandon his physical body and depart within his astral body. 2. Once Out, he must feel himself having a childlike heart. 3. Then, he must command his astral body as follows: “Astral Body, withdraw from me.” 4. He must cast his Astral Body out from himself, through his spinal column.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

5. Subsequently, his Astral Body will fall out of him from his back and will go out. 6. The disciple will remain within his Mental Body. 7. Now, he has to command his Mental Body as follows: “Mental Body, withdraw from me.”

8. The disciple must throw his Mental Body out towards his back. 9. Now, the Magician will feel that something else is moving within his own Being. 10. At this moment, a rare personage comes out from his spinal column. 11. The disciple must question this rare personage: “Who are you?” 12. This subject will answer as follows: “I am your Mental Body. Do you not know me?” 13. The disciple must now invite his own Mind to sit.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

In order to become fused with Atman the following experience is necessary: to project the Astral body, abandoning the Physical body. One then sheds the Astral body by ordering it “leave me”; this requires will. The Astral body leaves via the spinal column, and we are left in the world of the Mind. Later one sheds the Mental body, ordering it: “Mental body, leave me”. This is realised by an act of will, and one is left with the Causal body, which one also orders to leave; this also requires a great effort. The body of Conscious Will functions better, and one commands it to leave and to abandon the 33 vertebra, the Buddhic or Intuitional body thus remaining; which is very obedient. It also is commanded to leave, one thus remaining in the world of Chesed, of Atman, the Ineffable. In the world of Atman one feels a Complete Man. Here, the intellectual animal is not a Man. The Initiate feels filled with an immense plentitude. There, in that world he is a “Real Man” in the most objective sense.

The Pentagram is the symbol of the Universal Word of Life. With certain secret mantra the Pentagram can be made to shine instantly. In the Gopalätapani and Krisna Upanishad we have found the mantram that has the power to instantly form the terrible Flaming Star in the astral plane, before which demons flee in terror. This mantram is made up of five parts, which are: KLIM KRISHNAYA GOVINDAYA GOPIJANA VALLABHAYA SWAHA. By vocalising this mantram, the Flaming Star is instantly formed, before which the tenebrous of the eighteenth arcanum flee in terror. These demons violently attack the Initiate when he is working in the Great Work. The devotees of the Perfect Matrimony have to wage tremendous battles against the tenebrous. Each vertebra of the spinal column represents terrible battles against the black magicians. They struggle to deviate the student from the Path of the Razor’s Edge.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966) also in The Perfect Matrimony

A practice

The powerful mantram mentioned above has three perfectly defined stages. On reciting KLIM, which the occultists of India call the “seed of attraction”, we provoke a flow of Christic energy, which descends instantly from the world of the Solar Logos to protect us, and then a mysterious door opens downwards. Then, by means of the three following parts of the mantram, he who has recited it is infused with Christic energy; and finally, by means of the fifth part, he who has received the Christic energy can radiate it with tremendous force to defend himself from the tenebrous. They then flee in terror. The Word always crystallizes in geometric lines. This is demonstrated by magnetic tapes. When speech is recorded on a tape each letter crystallizes into geometric forms. Afterwards, it is sufficient to make the tape vibrate in the tape recorder for the speech to be repeated God geometries. The word takes on geometric forms. This mantra cited by us has the power to form the Flaming Star instantly in the supersensitive worlds. This star is a vehicle of Christic force. This star represents the Word. Everyone who is working in the Fiery Forge of Vulcan can defend themselves with this powerful mantram. This mantram is vocalized by pronouncing each syllable. With this mantram one can conjure demons that control the possessed. It is urgent to learn how to create the Flaming Star instantly. With this mantram we can create that star to combat the tenebrous.

We can also take advantage of the instant in which we are getting sleepy, or simply, in the instant in which the mind is in a profound repose, as a tranquil lake.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

A practice

When mental force is consciously managed, we can place the physical body into hyperspace. Jinn science is a matter of vibration. Above and below the limits of objective perception, there exist worlds that are located in other dimensions. With the power of thought we can accelerate the oscillatory frequency and normal vibration of the physical body by means of certain keys of Jinn science, which we will give next. This is how we then penetrate with the physical body into hyperspace. When scientists gain absolute control over atomic movement, they will be able to place any object into hyperspace. The devotees of the Jinn religion, prior to the practice of Pranayama, must pray to their Divine Mother, beseeching her to give them the power to place the physical body in the Jinn state.

White magicians and black magicians use the Flying Serpent to travel in the astral body, or with the physical body in a state of Jinas. White magicians, in profound meditation, know how to pray and to supplicate to the Serpent of Bronze to be transported to any place on earth or in the cosmos, and the Flying Serpent transports them. Black magicians pray to the Tempting Serpent of Eden and it takes them to the abyss, or to the salons of witchcraft, or to the witches’ sabbath etc. The Serpent of Bronze rises through the medullar channel. The Tempting Serpent descends from the coccyx toward the Atomic Infernos of Nature. This is the tail of Satan. Devils have their power in the tail.

When we want to take the shape of any animal, it is convenient to get up from our beds in the instant of being sleepy. Then, by walking inside of our own room, whether in a shape of an eagle, whether in a shape of a white dove, whether in a shape of a sheep or lion, etc., we must work with the magical formula as indicated in this chapter. The dream has to be kept as a precious treasure, by being careful of not losing it in the instant of getting up from our bed in order to make the experiment.

The lands of Jinas, the marvels hidden within the “Thousand and One Nights”, the countries of gold where the ineffable Gods of the aurora live, become a tremendous reality when we find the lever of Archimedes. Supported by this mysterious lever we spring to the fourth dimension. The hour has arrived to liberate the mind and to awaken Kundalini. The moment has arrived for the human being to learn to pass to the fourth dimension at will any time he wishes. If someone who has awakened Kundalini were to supplicate to this Kundalini in the moments when falling asleep, asking to be placed in the fourth dimension and transported to the sacred island of the north pole, you could be sure dear reader, that the miracle would inevitably occur. The only thing that the Initiate needs is to know is how to raise himself from the bed whilst conserving sleep. The Snake will help him with everything when he in turn, knows how to help himself. “Help yourself and I will help you.”

Our disciples will then be able to walk upon the waters of the seas in the same manner that Christ did.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practice

Many Masters whose physical bodies are of very ancient ages, and exist in the Jinas state, live there. When Jesus walked upon the waters, he carried his body in the Jinas state. Any disciple can travel in the same manner. The disciple falls asleep lightly and then, filled with faith, he rises from his bed like a somnambulist, preserving drowsiness. He will then take a jump with the intention of submerging himself into the suprasensible worlds. When he jumps, he will float in the atmosphere; this is called the Jinas state. This is how one floats in space and walks upon the waters. Some succeed immediately, while others take months and even years.

17. Thus, in this way, as the disciple walks as a somnambulist, filled with faith, he will jump with the intention of floating in the surrounding environment.

The Mysteries of Fire, 1955

A practice

Thus, the disciple walking filled with faith, as a somnambulist, will jump with the intension of floating within the surrounding environment. If the disciple achieves floating in the air, it is because his physical body has entered the astral plane. Then, he will be able to go to any place of the Earth through the infinite space. Thus, this is how the physical body can fly throughout the astral plane, and remains submitted to the laws of the astral plane, yet without losing its characteristics. What is important is to have faith, patience, and tenacity.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

A practice

We proceed in the following way: In the precise moment when we awake from our natural sleep, without giving time to any analysis, doubt or vacillation, and filled with a very intense faith, we get up from our bed, we leave our room, then we float within the atmosphere. Only our faith is what holds us while performing this. Consequently, any analysis, doubt or vacillation damages the experiment.

The Revolution of Beelzebub, 1950

A practice

Every student of Gnosticism has to learn how to transport himself in a few seconds towards his sick patients in order to visit and cure them. The procedure is in the following way: The disciple must lie down on his left side with his head rested over the palm of the hand of the same side. Then, he has to get sleepy with his mind fixed in the process of the dream. Dream images emerge during the state of transition between vigil and dream. The disciple must reject such images, because if he does not do it, then, he will remain abstracted within them and he will fall asleep. The attention of the disciple must be fixed only and exclusively in the process of the dream. Then, when he feels that the dream has already invaded his brain, he must abandon all of his laziness and get up immediately. The whole secret of this matter rests in leaving our home, going out towards the street. Yet, we have to conserve the dreamy state.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978) also in Laziness

A practice

When already on the street, the disciple has to jump with the intention of suspending himself in the air as if he was a bird. Then, he can transport himself in flesh and bones towards the residence of the sick person. In this way, the disciple will learn how to travel in a few seconds to the most remote places of the earth in order to cure sick patients. He can also take his herbs and remedies with him.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

The White Magicians also know how to place the physical body in the state of Jinas. Jesus walked on the waters of the Sea of Galilee by making intelligent use of hyperspace. The disciples of Buddha, making use of hyperspace, were able to pass through a rock from one side to the other. In India there are yogis who, by using hyperspace can pass through fire without being burned. Peter, utilizing hyper space, escaped from prison and saved himself from the death penalty. The great yogi Patañjali states in his aphorisms that practicing a sannyàsa on the physical body, it becomes as cotton and can float on air. A sannyäsa consists of three parts: concentration, meditation and ecstasy. First, the yogi concentrates on his physical body. Second, he meditates on his physical body, inducing sleep. Third, full of ecstasy, he gets up from his bed with his body in the state of Jinas. Then, he enters hyperspace and, escaping from the law of gravity, he floats in the air. The devotees of Santa Maria (witches and warlocks) do the same thing with the formulas of black magic.

The Perfect Matrimony, 1950 (ed. 1966)

A practice

In these Jinn exercises, the first thing that the disciple needs, is to have a lot of faith. For the one whose mind is filled with doubts, it is better for him not to enter these studies, because he could become insane. The second thing that he needs is to have more tenacity and patience than holy Job. The lack of tenacity in these exercises causes one to inevitably fail. Those who begin to practice and soon stop because of exhaustion, are not good for these studies; you should leave.

JINN STATES If placing your body of flesh and bones within the Fourth Dimension is a very arduous task for you, if in spite of having done the effort you have not achieved it yet, then, bathe yourself daily with aromatic herbs, and before falling asleep call the ‘Seven Potencies’ so that they may assist in preparing your physical body.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

Then, after your body is prepared, work again with the secrets which we have taught you in order to travel with your physical body through the fourth dimension. One needs to have faith in the Seven Potencies. The Seven Potencies are not the Seven Spirits before the Throne. They are seven Masters who can prepare your body. Ask and it shall be given to you, knock and it shall be opened to you.

If we invoke the God Harpocrates, he will attend our call. With the Mantram HARPOCRATIST, we can invoke that angel. With the help of that angel, we can place our physical body in the Jinas State. With the help of that angel, we can transport ourselves to any part of the world in a few instants.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practice

The egg has special powers, which allow us to place the physical body in the Jinas State. The disciple will warm up an egg in water, in other words, he will boil it lightly. Then he will puncture a hole on its more acutely conic extreme. Taking advantage of an instrument, he will then extract its yolk and albumen. The eggshell possesses the powers of the God Harpocrates. The forces of Harpocrates are a variant of the Christic forces. The disciple will place this shell beside his head in bed. The disciple should then imagine himself inside that shell. The disciple will invoke HARPOCRATIST and will ask him to transport him in the physical body wherever he wishes. The disciple should rise, preserving sleep like a somnambulist; he should pick up the eggshell and come out of the room saying, “Harpocrates, help me for I am going with my body.” In this manner, the disciples of our Gnostic Movement will be able to enter the internal worlds with their physical bodies. In this manner, they will be able to go to the Holy Gnostic Church in the flesh. In this manner, they will be able to receive the Communion of Bread and Wine and attend the “Pretor”.

Our Gnostic Summum Supremum Sanctuarium of the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta in Colombia is entering the Jinas State. Wherever there is a temple, mountain, or anything enchanted (in the Jinas State), the forces of Har-po-crat-ist are in intense activity there. Gnostic students should in no way become tired. Some succeed immediately, others take months and even years to achieve success in the Jinas States. Tenacity and patience are the foundation of all progress. With these exercises of Har-po-crat-ist, disciples accumulate that marvelous force of Har-po-crat-ist in their bodies. Later they will be able to use these marvelous energies to place their bodies in the Jinas State. With these forces, marvels are accomplished.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practiceNight 29

The disciple can utilize the energies of the God Harpocrates in order to learn to travel with the physical body in the Jinas state. EXERCISE Take an egg of a hen and make a small hole on its more pointed end. Using a pointed instrument, extract the yolk and the albumen; before that, the egg should be warmed up in water. The eggshell contains the forces of the God Harpocrates, which are a variant of the Christic energies. The student will place the cortex or shell on his pillow or near the bed. He will then lull himself to sleep while invoking the God Harpocrates. Just a little bit of sleep and very much faith is what is needed. He should fall asleep while praying with much faith the prayer of the God Harpocrates in this manner: “I believe in God, I believe in Christ, and I believe in Har-po-crat-ist, take me with my physical body to the Gnostic Church.” He will pray this prayer many consecutive times, and then, lulled to sleep like a somnambulist, he will rise from the bed, will take the egg and will then walk, while saying: “Har-po-crat-ist help me because I am coming with my body.” Before exiting the house, he will jump as far as he can and he will mark the exact spot where he falls when he jumps. On the following night, he repeats the experiment at the same place, trying to exceed the previous marked spot. Drowsiness should be preserved like a treasure; the power lies in drowsiness and very intense faith. One will mark the new advances daily. One has to persevere in this manner for days, months or years until succeeding. The progressive increase of the distance jumped is an evident sign of a great progress. This demonstrates that one is entering the Jinas state, little by little. Later, the disciple will get to jump three, four or more meters. Tenacity is very important; it is only in this manner that one triumphs. Finally, the disciple manages to really sustain himself in space, beyond the normal limit; his body is therefore in the Jinas state. People will not be able to see him; he will have become invisible. In that state, the body has become submerged within the internal worlds. It then remains subject to the laws of the suprasensible worlds, Levitation, Elasticity, Plasticity, Porosity, etc., without losing its physiological characteristics. This is a modification of somnambulism; a voluntary and conscious somnambulism. The energies of sleep and of faith are terrible. In this manner, we can receive the teachings directly in the internal temples.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practice

The third thing is to have method and order in the exercises.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

A practice

In India, by practicing a “samyasi” over their physical bodies, the yogis enter the Jinas state. The “samyasi” consists of simultaneous, instantaneous concentration, meditation and ecstasy. We enter the Jinas state with the exercise of Harpocrates. When the yogi practices his samyasi, he flies, walks upon the water, traverses fire without getting burned, and enters the rocks and caverns of the earth. The one who reaches these heights of meditation is already a Samyasin of the mind. In the West, we use Western yoga of which the exercise of Harpocrates is part of. The conditions to accomplish it are: Faith, Tenacity and Silence. The one who goes around telling others about his victories, loses his powers and becomes a scoundrel. That type of imbecile chatterboxes should be expelled from the Gnostic Movement. In flesh and blood (Jinas), we can visit Tibet and converse with the Masters and with Jesus Christ. Mrs. Neel, in her book, “Magic and Mystery in Tibet,” tells us about Tibetan Lamas who travel great distances in a somnambulistic state without becoming tired. Let us imitate these ascetics; we are totally practical; we do not like to waste time in intellectual vagueness. This is how we Gnostics speak, bravely.

The Greater Mysteries, 1956

5. Release all your thoughts from your mind, clear your mind. It is necessary for you to place your mind in quietude and tranquility. 6. You must provoke sleep. Let yourself fall asleep without thoughts.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

A practice

7. While conserving your sleep like a precious treasure, rise from your bed and leave your bedroom.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

A practice

If the practice has been performed well, then your body will enter the “JINN” state, meaning, that it will submerge within the supra-sensible worlds.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

A practice

Some devouts who were practicing meditation in order to place the physical body in ‘JINN’ state, were feeling the sensation of being enlarged or inflated like a balloon. If those devouts would have risen from their beds in those moments when they were feeling that sensation, then they would have had the joy of entering into the “JINN” state. When Jesus was walking upon the waters of the Sea of Galilee, he was having his body in the state of “JINN.”

The Aquarian Message, 1960

A practice

The devouts must be patient with these practices of “JINN”. To persevere days, months and years is necessary, until educing, developing and totally strengthening the eight great mystical powers.

The Aquarian Message, 1960

A practice

The Guru Litelantes told me that one can place the physical body in a Jinn State with the egg. A small orifice must be made on the endmost pointed part of the egg. Then, the yolk and the white part of the egg have to be taken out through that orifice.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

The egg must be slightly warmed up in boiling water before making the orifice. The disciple must paint the egg a blue color. That empty shell must be placed next to our bed. The disciple will fall asleep while imagining to be inside within the egg.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978) also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

A practice

The Master Huiracocha says that in those instants one must invoke the God Harpocrates, by pronouncing the following mantra: HAR-PO-CRAT-IST.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

Then, the God Harpocrates will carry the disciple within the egg. The disciple will feel a great itchiness or rash on his body.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

The disciple will feel himself uncomfortable, because he will have that uncomfortable position with which the pigeon, while inside of an egg, is represented. However, the disciple must not complain, because the God Harpocrates will transport him to any far away place. The God will open the egg and will leave him there.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

In the beginning, the student will only transport himself in his astral body. Later on the student will transport himself with his body in Jinn State. This is a matter of much practice and tenacity.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

The disciple is accumulating these HAR-PO-CRAT-IST energies when he performs the practices of HAR-PO-CRAT-IST. Then, later on, these energies will truly allow him to perform marvels and prodigies.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

Now grind the empty eggshell into dust. The yogis use this powder for Jinn science.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

The yolk and the egg white must be extracted from the hole in the egg.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

Every night, before performing Jinn practices, the devotee must sprinkle the powder on his chest and under his arms, or armpits. The student must then cover up and begin his Jinn practices. The student must have a large quantity of this powder for the Jinn practices.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

We achieve the power to place the physical body in the Jinn state with Pranayama. It is very important to practice Pranayama before using these keys. It is interesting to know that the two witnesses, Ida and Pingala, in their final synthesis, are rooted in the right and left testicles of the male and in the ovaries of the female. Through this pair of nervous canals, the solar and lunar atoms of the seminal system rise until they reach the chalice (the brain). The nostrils and the sexual organs are connected through the two witnesses. This invites us to reflect. Pranayama, among other things, is truly a system of sexual transmutation for single people.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in Lust, The Yellow Book

A practice

Every Gnostic must begin his Jinn practices after having prepared himself intensely with Pranayama. The great Masters of yoga float in the air while practicing Pranayama. Only a body that escapes from the law of gravity can float in the air. Only a body that enters into hyperspace can escape from that law.

The Yellow Book, 1959

A practice

They must practice a lot of Pranayama in order to conquer the Jinn powers. The student must carefully select the key that most appeals to him in order to practice Jinn science.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

The student that is studying and practicing Jinn science must inevitably stop committing three sins: anger, greed, and lust. Only by doing so it is possible to avoid the attack of the tenebrous ones. If the student does not control these defects, then he will not gain true, positive progress in the complete sense of the word.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

Men who dedicate themselves to Jinn science must wear only loose fitting yellow shorts for their practices. That is all. The nude body is better for Jinn practices, because the chakras spin freely without the clothing getting in the way.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

Women who are practicing Jinn science must use a very long and wide tunic for their practices, a tunic that is as wide as possible. The tunic must be very beautiful, akin to the robes of the Samaritans. Women who dedicate themselves to Jinn science must not cut their hair. For women, the hair is a symbol of purity and chastity. In ancient times, a woman who committed adultery had her hair cut. That was her punishment.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

Women practicing Jinn science do not use the same clothing as men (i.e., loose fitting shorts), for their practices because it is immoral for them to do so. The divine hierarchies demand modesty, purity, and chastity.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

These yellow tunics that are used for the Jinn are not to be used to attend Gnostic rituals. These tunics are just for Jinn science The yellow tunic for Jinn science must be worn directly on the skin of the body. No other type of clothing must be worn under this wide tunic.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

We must always use a special room in order to work with Jinn science. However, if you do not have a special room at your disposal, then the bedroom or bedchamber itself can become a true sanctuary. With chastity, everything runs favorably.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

The bedroom must be incensed daily with the five perfumes. These perfumes are the following: frankincense, myrrh, aloe, sulfur and camphor. It is necessary to paint the sign of the pentagram, the five-pointed star, at the entrance of the bedroom. The two lower points must be pointed towards the outside of the room and the upper point must point towards the inside of the room. The star can be drawn with charcoal. We can also have a framed pentagram placed above the head of the bed. In this case the superior point is pointed upwards and the inferior points are pointing downwards.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

The devotee must bathe himself daily to assure cleanliness. The room must always be neat, tidy and clean. Jinn religion is very sacred. Here in this Yellow Book, we have taught the sacred Jinn science to all human beings, except for those who are imbeciles. Imbeciles do not believe, neither do they want to believe or to accept, because they are imbeciles.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

The workroom must always contain freshly cut flowers. Flowers, perfumes, symbolic images, and beautiful music contribute in creating an environment filled with wisdom and love.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

The devotee must choose the Jinn key that most appeals to him and must practice daily with this key with great intensity, until he achieves victory.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

The devotee must lie down on his left side, resting his head on the palm of his left hand. The devotee must become drowsy, keeping watch over of his own sleep, becoming a vigilant of his own sleep. When the devotee begins to see the images of his dreams, he must get up very slowly from the bed but holding on to sleep as if it were a precious treasure. Before the devotee leaves his house, he must take a small jump with the intention of floating in the surrounding atmosphere.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

If the devotee, after executing the small jump, floats in the atmosphere, it is because his physical body has entered into the Jinn state. If the devotee does not float, then it is because he is not in the Jinn state. When the devotee is in the Jinn state, he can leave his house with full confidence and without any fear at all. In the Jinn state the devotees can travel to the most remote places of the earth in a few minutes.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

If the devotee fails in the experiment, if he does not achieve the Jinn state on the first try, then he must not lose heart. He can get into his bed and repeat the exercise as many times as there are hours and minutes in a night.

The Yellow Book, 1959

A practice

This nut has marvelous Jinn powers. The devotee must become drowsy while holding this nut in his hand. The devotee must place himself in the same position as given in the previous key, but while holding this marvelous nut in his right hand. It is urgent to remember that this nut has a marvelous elemental genie that can help the devotee to place his body into the Jinn state.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

There exists a nut, commonly known as the deer’s eye.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

During this practice, the devotee must become drowsy while pronouncing the mantra Invia. Then, the elemental genie will come to the call and will help him to place his body in the Jinn State.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in Elemental Magic, The Yellow Book

A practice

The devotee must get up from his bed, holding on to the sleepy state as if it was pure gold. Before he leaves his house, the devotee must take a small jump with the intention of floating in the surrounding atmosphere. If the devotee floats, then he can leave his house in the Jinn State. If he does not float, then he must repeat the exercise for as many hours, months, or years that it takes until achieving victory.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

There is a Master whose name is Oguara. This Jinn Master truly helps all those who call him in the name of the Christ. The devotee must lie down in the same position previously mentioned, but calling the Jinn Master Oguara in the name of the Christ, saying, “In the name of the Christ, by the majesty of the Christ, by the power of the Christ, I call you Oguara, Oguara, Oguara. Place my body in the Jinn State.” Repeat this invocation many, many times until entering into sleep; then the student must get up, holding on to sleep as if it was pure gold. The devotee must then take a small jump with the intention of floating in space. If he floats, it is because he is then in the Jinn state. If he does not float, then he must get back into bed and repeat the experiment.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

The devotee must sit in front of a table, with his arms crossed on the table. The devotee will become drowsy with his head resting on his crossed arms. The devotee must invoke the Jinn Masters so that they may help him in these practices. He can call upon Babaji (the Yogi Christ of India), or his sister Mataji. He can invoke Harpocrates, or Saint Peter, etc. Then when the student begins to dream, he must get up from the chair automatically, instinctively and without any kind of reasoning, conserving sleep as if it were solid gold. The student must then take a long jump, as far as possible, with the intention of floating in the surrounding atmosphere. The devotee must mark on the floor with a pencil the exact place where he landed.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

The student must repeat this exercise daily, untiringly and patiently. He must always mark the point on the floor with a pencil, to measure the length of each jump. This system is marvelous because the Jinn student can keep appreciating his degree of progress in the Jinn. For example, today the devotee’s jump measured 1 meter, tomorrow his jump may be 1 centimeter more than the previous day, and the following day one centimeter more, and so on. Thus, the student is measuring his progress in Jinn science with precision. Finally, he will discover one day, with wonder, that he has performed an extremely long jump, a strange jump that no athlete could perform; these are signs which indicate with clarity his progress in Jinn science. Following this incredible jump, the devotee can remain floating in hyperspace. Thus, he has achieved victory. This key is formidable.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

Before leaving the house, the student must take a jump and then if he floats in the surrounding atmosphere, it is because his body has entered into the Jinn state. Then the student can direct himself wherever he wishes with his physical body in the Jinn State. If he does not float, then the student must repeat the experiment. With patience we can go very far in these studies.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

In the precise instant in which the student awakens from his normal sleep, he must jump from his bed instantaneously without any conscious or subconscious analysis, without the process of conceptual election, in an instinctive way, ecstatic for wisdom and full of faith like the steel of the sword that is well-tempered and ready for battle.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

In ancient Mexico, the temple of the tigers was very sacred. The elemental force of the tiger permits us to place the body in the Jinn state. The student can lie down on a tiger skin. The devotee can become drowsy while invoking the Devas who reign over the tigers. Beg them to help us with the force of the tiger.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in Elemental Magic, The Yellow Book

A practice

Then, full of faith, they said: “We belong to ourselves!”

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

The Occidental yogi, lying down on the tiger skin while partially naked, must do the esoteric practice of the tiger knights. This is how he will enter into the Jinn state.

A practice

161. The mantram “miña pica frasco”, serves to travel in the jinn state, from one place on earth to another. 162. The disciple gets up from his bed, like a somnambulist, pronouncing the mantram: miña pica frasco.

A practice

An Angel will assist us. Imitating Peter, we will rise from the bed and will walk like a somnambulist. Our Physical Body will enter the Garden of Delights, in the “Jinn” Paradises.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

A practice

Then, they pronounced this Mantram: INVIA This Mantram is a true invocation: under its influence, the Elemental of said Almond answers irresistibly. This vegetable elemental then has the power of placing the body in the “JINN” state.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959 also in Elemental Magic

A practice

When the Hierophant feels that his body begins to inflate or swell, from the feet up, then he comprehended that his body had acquired the “JINN” state. He would rise from his bed, filled with faith and definitely submerge himself in the “Garden of Delights,” and transport himself to different places on Earth. Whoever wants to practice the former, let him during such a process fall asleep, meditating on the Elemental of the almond, the “Deer’s Eye.”

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959 also in Elemental Magic

A practice

We inform the esoteric student that there is a Great Master of “JINN,” whose name is OGUARA, who invariably attends the call of those who invoke him and who helps submerge the Physical Body within the Fourth Dimension.

Logos, Mantram, Theurgy, 1959

A practice

This mantra becomes a true invocation. Under this mantra's influence, the elemental of that nut assists with resisting. This elemental has the power of placing the physical body in a Jinn state—meaning, to submerge it in the fourth vertical.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977 also in Elemental Magic

A practice

When wanting to visit the garden of delights, the great Egyptian hierophants submerged into profound meditation while holding in their right hand a nut known by the name of "Deer's eye."

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

A practice

Thereafter, the loaf of bread has to be eaten. The mantric words must be written on cross with a pencil or ink. When we investigated within the superior worlds in order to find out the scientific and esoteric value of this clue, we found the following: Once, while gathered with a group of brothers and sisters, we fell asleep by means of the effect of the vocalization of that mantra, thus we "abandoned" the physical body and entered into the Astral Plane. There, we inquired about this clue and were astonished by the outcome of our investigation. We saw a sea where a terrific god of the ocean shook the immeasurable depths of the sea in such a way that ethereal waves were formed, which, while spinning in a concentric manner, were menacingly precipitated towards the place we were gathered. This terrific god had provoked an electrical whirlwind, an ethereal hurricane, an inconceivable force, in order to precipitate it towards where we had left the physical body.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

A practice

So, when we pronounce the mantra SENOSAN GORORA GOBERDON, that ineffable God will come to our call, and will submerge our physical body into the fourth dimension.

The Mayan Mysteries, 1977

A practice

The devotee will sit down in front of a table. He will then cross his arms and place them on the table, voluntarily falling asleep with his head resting on his arms. The student must relax the mind. One shall relax and empty the mind of all thought until it remains clear and spacious. Next, imagine the drowsiness that precedes sleeping, identify with this and fall asleep. When the seated student feels that he has fallen asleep, he will get up from his seat maintaining this sleep. Thus, like a somnambulist, the student will take a long jump with the intention of submerging himself with his physical body within hyperspace. Right away you will mark with a pencil the exact place where you finished the jump. On the following day you will repeat the experiment marking with a pencil the place where you landed.

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah also in Imagination, Inspiration, Intuition

A practice

If the student continues practicing, he will note that his jump gets longer and longer. The day will come in which he takes a jump that is beyond what is normal. This will make gladden the student very much, because it will indicate to him that his body is already penetrating into hyperspace. Constancy, patience, will and tenacity—at last these shall grant the student success. One day the student will be able to definitively remain in hyperspace. He has penetrated with his body into the internal worlds, he finds himself in the Jinn State. He shall then be able to transport himself to any place on Earth in a few seconds. He will be an investigator of the superior worlds.

A practiceNight 30

When starting Jinn practices, the Jinn Genii must be invoked. The devotee will invoke Oguara many times as follows: “I Believe In God, I believe in Oguara and in all the Genii of Jinn Science. Take me with my body to all of the Temples of Jinn Science… Oguara! Oguara! Oguara! Take me.”

(This invocation is repeated thousands of times before dozing off to sleep).

Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

A practice

The devotee will pray this prayer thousands of times. The devotee should fall asleep praying this prayer. When the devotee feels more asleep than awake, when he feels his body as if weak and full of lassitude, when he feels as though drunk with sleep, when he al ready begins to dream, he gets up from his bed “conserving sleep as the miser conserves his treasure”. All the power lies in sleep. In those moments, tremendous forces are working which elevate the vibration of the physical body, accelerating the movement of the atoms to surprising velocities. Then the physical body enters the state of Jinas. It penetrates hyperspace. If the student makes a leap with the intention of floating, then he will notice with surprise that he can fly. In that state he is invisible to the physical world; in that state he can attend the Pretor.

Any sincere Gnostic arhart can beseech the magical assistance of the great apostle Philip. With profound love for Philip, when you are drowsy, meditate upon him. Clear your mind of any other thoughts, and when you feel the joy of his presence in your soul, you will utter the following ritual phrase: “To heaven, Philip!” Leave your bedroom with a firm and confident step, and in that instant, break into the unknown dimension.

The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac, 1974

Philip assists the invoker and takes him out in his astral body. These invokers usually receive multiple benefits.

Pistis Sophia Unveiled, 1983

A practice

Repeat this phrase thousands of times. If we wish to take the physical body, we pray to Philip for this service. If you wish to take only the astral body, you pray to Philip for this service. We must speak to Philip, we must beg Philip.

We, the Gnostics can enter with flesh and bones into the other world any time we want to do so. Therefore, whosoever wants to enter into the other world in order to know and visit it with the body of flesh and bones, very well dressed with hat and fashionable shoes, as when someone enters a garden party, then, I give the clue: 1.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

The Magician will ask permission to the Father in order to travel with his physical body in a Jinn State through the astral space of the universe. He or she will beseech the help and assistance of Philip. Once the three days have passed, then the Magician can get up from the bed. The bed must then be cleaned and arranged with clean sheets, pillows, blankets, and clean bedspreads. The room, sleeping compartment, or bedroom, must be perfumed, swept, washed very well.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

The Magician will also pray the “Pater Noster”, which is “The Lord’s Prayer”, profoundly meditating on the meaning of each word from this most holy Prayer, which was taught by the Adorable One.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

Not a single piece of clothing should be hung on the ceiling or on the walls, because that damages the experiment. Upon the day in which the Magician gets up, he must continue nourishing himself with water within which is mixed honey (bee honey) and some drops of lemon juice. In the night, after a dinner based on fruits and water that is prepared in the already indicated way, the male or female Magician will very secretly direct themselves towards their bedroom. Then, seven candles must be lit. The seven candles must be placed on a seven armed candelabra or on seven candlesticks, or on two candelabras of three arms each, plus one candlestick for a single candle. Subsequently, a very clean mantle must be placed over a table inside the bedroom. The table must be round and of three legs.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

It is clear that three Ladies will arrive if the invoker is a male, yet if it is a female Magician, a woman who calls and prays, then three elegant Jinn Gentlemen from the world of mystery will arrive. Unquestionably, these three persons will utilize the Tarot and will cast their lot in order to define positions and to know who is the one who corresponds to assist us and to take us to wherever we wish.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

These persons will drink and eat, they will converse amongst themselves. Then, the best will come. After all of this, the magic person who has to help us will approach us. We must beg to this person to carry us with our physical body to any other place of the earth. If they tell us or command us to get up, it is necessary to obey. When the body is felt with that state of lassitude as when one goes to sleep, then, in that state is where one senses the invoked Genii.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

We must get up from the bed in that state. The Genii will assist us. The Jinn person who will be in charge of us will take us to the place which we will indicate. The physical body delectably floats while inside of the magic regions of the earth. Thus, this is how we can transport ourselves to any place of the earth.

Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, 1955 (ed. 1978)

A practice

The previous Latin prayer must be learned by memory with the goal of correctly working with this secret, which serves in order to travel through the superior dimensions of Nature. Faith is the foundation of this magical work. Without faith one fails with this experiment. If the invoker is afraid, then he must not perform this work. Thus, the Gnostic Medics can travel with their physical body within the fourth vertical in order to assist their patients.

Outside his physical body, the Gnostic anchorite can consciously, if he wills it, invoke an isolated part of his own Being, which is defined in practical esotericism as the Guardian Angel. Unquestionably, the Ineffable will heed his call. Transparent serenity, limitless calm, or ecstatic happiness, like that which is experienced by the soul when breaking the bonds of matter and the world, is what we feel in such delightful moments. You can then, dear reader, deduce the outcome: magical services a la Lonhegrin, can always be received.

You can also invoke your physical body from afar: you will kneel on the earth and pray to your Inner-Self like this: “Father, bring my body”. Then, thy Inner-Self wilt bring thee thy physical body. The atoms of your physical body will tell you: “I am your physical body, don’t you know me?” You will be astonished when you see thine own physical body in sleeping clothes, face to face, the same as you left it in bed! Then command thy physical body thus: “Jump over my head and penetrate through my pineal gland”. The Physical body will obey you and you will be with your physical body in any remote place of the earth. If someone was to enter your room in those instants, he or she would not find you. He or she would only find your empty bed.

It is indispensable to take your physical body to the Gnostic Church every Friday and Sunday, at dawn to receive the Gnostic Holy Unction in flesh and bone.

Those who know how to get out in the astral body, can invoke the body from far. This is done with the help of the Inner-Self. One prays in this manner, “You who are my own self, you who are my Real being, I implore you, bring me my body.” The Inner-Self will then bring the body in the Jinas State to the disciple. No matter how far the disciple’s astral body is, there will his body arrive. Our body will come humbly to us, and it will come dressed in underwear or sleeping clothes; it will come dressed in the same clothes with which we left it in bed. Emotional are those moments in which we meet, face to face, with our physical body. In these moments we are in the astral body; we should then order the body in this manner, “Body, jump on my head, penetrate me, through the pineal gland.” The physical body will then obey and will penetrate through the pineal gland. This gland is located in the upper region of the cerebrum. This is how our body will come to our call.

A practice

We will then be able to function with the physical body in remote places. In the Jinas State we will be able to visit the mystery temples to learn the doctrine at the feet of the Master. If you want special help, then when you are out of the physical body, invoke me in this manner, “I believe in God, I believe in Christ and I believe in Samael. Samael, bring me my body; Samael, bring me my body; Samael, bring me my body.” Repeat this prayer many times and I, Samael, your humble servant, will come to your call to take your body in the Jinas State. This is how I will serve you, beloved disciples, with the condition of right conduct. We, the Masters, are willing to help human beings enter once again the internal worlds. “Ask, and it shall be given you.” “Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”

A practice

There is a mysterious chakra in the umbilical region that the magician uses for his states of Jinas. Every magician who finds himself far from his physical body, if he uses the power of this chakra, can beg his Internal God thus: “My Lord, my God; I beg you to bring me my body.” The Internal God can bring the physical body to the magician in a state of jinas; that is to say, immersed within the astral plane. In these moments the mysterious chakra of the science of Jinas revolves.

A practice

Those who know how to travel in their astral body can invoke their physical body from afar. The first thing that the Gnostic who is going to work with this key must do is to go out in the astral body. When he finds himself far from his body he may call upon any of the Jinn Masters and beg to them to bring him his physical body. He can invoke the Masters Harpocrates, Babaji, Mataji, Saint Peter, Oguara, etc. He must beg by the Christ, asking for the Christ, beseeching by the power of the Christ. The Genii of the Jinn state will then take the physical body from the bed and will bring it to the devotee who is asking for it.

Before the body arrives, first come many bubbles that will appear before the devotee. The final bubble is the color red. Behind that bubble comes the body in the Jinn state. When the body is approaching, the student then feels as though his shoulders are getting very heavy. The emotion that we feel when the physical body is in front of us is tremendous. The greatest surprise comes when we discover that the physical body also has consciousness and will respond to the questions we ask it.

A practice

The soul must command the body to leave through the sidereal head of the astral body and penetrate into the devotee through the same door. The result is marvelous: the physical body obeys and enters into the devotee (in the astral plane); it is not the devotee who must enter into the physical body. In the astral plane things are very different.

The Yellow Book, 1959 also in The Yellow Book

A practice

The body must enter the soul through the crown chakra, or lotus of one thousand petals, which is located in the upper part of the head of the sidereal body.
