0 belie(e that e(erybody is %oin% to e1ist in t.o .orlds
soon.
The practice of phase states of the mind is the hottest
and most promisin% pursuit of the modern a%e. 2nli*e in the
past" the notions of 3out4of4body e1perience5 and 3astral
pro6ection5 ha(e already lost their mystical halo" and their
real basis has been studied in minute detail from the most
non4nonsense approach. 7o." this phenomenon is accessible
to e(eryone" re%ardless of their .orld(ie.. 0t is no. *no.n
ho. to easily master it and apply it effecti(ely.
This %uideboo* is the result of ten years of e1tremely
acti(e personal practice and study of the out4of4body

practitioners from them in this boo*.
This %uideboo* .as not created for those .ho prefer

hard facts and techni8ues in combination .ith a completely
pra%matic approach and clear procedures for action. They
ha(e all been successfully (erified by a (ast number of
practitioners that often had no prior e1perience. 0n order to
achie(e the same result" it is only necessary to read throu%h
each section thorou%hly and complete the assi%nments. 0t
%i(es each and e(ery person somethin% that pre(iously could
only be dreamt about 4 a parallel reality and the possibility of
e1istin% in t.o .orlds.
The boo* is beneficial not only for be%inners" but also for
those .ho already *no. .hat it feels li*e to ha(e an out4of4

this %uideboo* is de(oted not only to enterin% the state" but
also e8ually dedicated to controllin% it.
Contrary to popular opinion" there is nothin% difficult
about this phenomenon if one tries to attain it .ith re%ular
and ri%ht effort. On a(era%e" results are reached in less than

@ay bac* .hen" people did not ha(e consciousness. Aet
once it de(eloped" it %radually started occupyin% more and
more of the .a*in% state. Bo.e(er" no.adays consciousness
is out%ro.in% the .a*in% state" and has be%un continuin% its
e1pansion into other states. Consciousness increasin%ly
sprin%s up durin% RE$4phase sleep" %i(in% rise to the most
astoundin% phenomenon of human e1istence 4 feelin% oneself
in an out4of4body e1perience. 0t is probable that men and
.omen of the future .ill ha(e a conscious e1istence in t.o
.orlds. +or no." ho.e(er" this can only be accomplished
usin% the special techni8ues described in this boo*.
Bints at the occurrence of this phenomenon may be
found in the Bible and other ancient te1ts. 0t lies at the
foundation of other phenomena such as near4death
e1periences" alien abductions" sleep paralysis" and so on. The
(Table of Contents)

phenomenon is so e1traordinary that many occult mo(ements
consider e1periencin% it to be an accomplishment of the
hi%hest order. )tatistical research has sho.n that one person
in t.o .ill ha(e an intense encounter .ith it. $ean.hile" the
e1istence of the phenomenon itself has been scientific fact
since the #?=!s.
The phenomenon is .ell4represented in many different
*inds of modern practices" albeit under (arious names
ran%in% from Castral pro6ectionC and Cout4of4body e1perienceC
to Clucid dreamin%C. @e shall use the pra%matic term Cthe
phaseC or Cphase stateC to refer to all the abo(e phenomena"
as there is no difference at all bet.een them in their usual
practice. @e .ill also ta*e as materialist an approach as
possible" castin% aside all theoretical tripe and concernin%
oursel(es only .ith .hat .or*s in practice.
Ds re%ards sensory perception of the phenomenon itself"
this is not a mere (isuali,ation e1ercise. Reality itself is but a
dull daydream in comparison to the phase state- Aou .onEt
feel your physical body on the bed there" and all of your
senses .ill be fully immersed in a ne. .orld of perception.
Aou can touch and behold anythin%" .al* and fly" eat and
drin*" feel pain and pleasure" and much" much more. Dnd all
this .ith e(en more realism and lucidness of perception than
daily life- This is the reason many no(ices e1perience shoc* 4
or e(en mortal fear 4 upon enterin% this state. 0tEs a true
parallel .orld in terms of perception.
The practical side of the phenomenon holds e(en %reater
opportunity. 0n the phase" you can tra(el the Earth" the
2ni(erse" and time itself. Aou can meet any person you .ant:
friends and family" the deceased" and celebrities. Aou can
obtain information from the phase and apply it to.ards
impro(in% your daily life. Aou can influence your physiolo%y
and treat a number of ailments. Aou can reali,e your secret
desires and de(elop your creati(ity. $ean.hile" people .ith
physical impairments can release themsel(es from all fetters
and obtain anythin% lac*in% for them in the physical .orld.

Dnd all this is 6ust the tip of the iceber% of .ays to apply the
phenomenon in daily life-
Aou may thin* that itEs difficult to learn if youE(e read
else.here that you need spend months" if not years" on it.
Fet those old .i(esE tales out of your head 4 .eEre in the #st
century- The instructions laid out in this section .ill help most
people to e1perience this ama,in% state .ithin only to :
days of tryin%. Remember: the techni8ues described in this
boo* are the result of many years of e1perimental research at
the OOBE Research Center. Thousands ha(e participated first4

sensations and .ant to achie(e this as 8uic*ly as possible. To
that end" here .e present a brief description of the easiest
method 4 cycles of indirect techni8ues. This is a uni(ersal and
most effecti(e .ay to obtain a phase e1perience. 0t has been
refined by the OOBE Research CenterEs .or* .ith thousands
of people all o(er the .orld. The secret to indirect techni8ues
is to perform them upon a.a*enin%" .hen the human brain is
physiolo%ically 8uite close to the phase state" or still in it.

Interesting Fact!
.ndirect techni/ues are mainl) to
thank for our 0,1 success rate over onl) +
da)s of attempts at three2da) seminars,
even in groups of 3, people and more.
$nce, more than half of the group had a
phase e4perience b) the second da), and
most had two or more e4periences.
Cycles of indirect techni8ues consist of attempts to
separate immediately upon a.a*enin%" and if that is
unsuccessful" then 8uic*ly cyclin% throu%h techni8ues o(er
the course of a minute until one of them .or*s" after .hich it
is possible to separate from the body. 2sually" # to 9 properly
performed attempts are all that is necessary to obtain results.

successful for e1perienced practitioners).
STEP )" SEPARATE T'E !(STA(T %O& AWA9E(
Each time you .a*e up a%ain" try not to mo(e or open

durin% this simple first step 4 one that is so simple that people
donEt e(en suspect that it could .or*.
0n order to separate from your body" simply try to stand
up" roll out" or le(itate. Try to do it .ith your o.n percei(ed
(i.e. subtle) body" but .ithout mo(in% your physical muscles.
Remember that it .ill feel 6ust li*e normal physical

intuiti(ely *no. ho. to do it. The most important thin% is not
to thin* too hard and not to lose those first seconds of
a.a*enin%.
Interesting Fact!
5uring the second lesson at School of
$ut2of2%od) Travel seminars, participants
are asked to e4plain in their own words how
the) were able to separate, but without
using the words 6easil)7, 6simpl)7, or 6as
usual7. The) are usuall) alwa)s unable to
compl) with this re/uest, as separation
nearl) alwa)s occurs for them 6easil)7,

this happens" you can try to separate a%ain. Choose to : of
the follo.in% fi(e techni8ues so that you can alternate
throu%h them durin% a.a*enin%s:
Rotatio+

e(en sli%ht sensation of rotation arises" focus your attention
on this techni8ue and rotate e(en more ener%etically. Ds soon
as the sensation of rotatin% becomes stable and real" you
should try to separate a%ain usin% it as a startin% point.
S/i00er tech+i4ue

(i(idly as you can. 0f nothin% happens" s.itch to another
techni8ue. There is no need to s.itch techni8ues if the
sensation of s.immin% arises. 0nstead" intensify the
sensations that arise. Dfter.ards" the real sensation of
s.immin% in .ater .ill come to you. ThatEs already the phase
4 and thereEs no need for separation .hen youEre already in
the phase. Bo.e(er" if such sensations occur .hile youEre in
bed instead of a body of .ater" then you .ill need to employ
a separation techni8ue. 2se the s.immin% sensations as a
startin% point.

s.itch to another techni8ue. 0f any of the abo(e sensations
start to arise" then *eep .ith the techni8ue and intensify it
until it becomes totally realistic. Dfter.ards you can try to
separate from the body" usin% the sensations arisin% from the
techni8ue as a start4off point.
Pha+to0 /i55li+5
Try to .i%%le your percei(ed hands or feet for : to 9
seconds. Go not mo(e a muscle under any circumstances" and
do not ima%ine the mo(ement itself. +or e1ample" try to

ri%ht" and so on. 0f nothin% occurs" s.itch to another
techni8ue. 0f a sli%ht or slu%%ish sensation of real mo(ement
suddenly arises" then focus your attention on the techni8ue"
tryin% to increase the ran%e of motion as much as you can.
Once you can mo(e by at least 4 inches" immediately try to
separate from your body startin% off from the sensations
arisin% from the techni8ue.
Dll that you need to do for each attempt is alternate
bet.een to : techni8ues for : to 9 seconds each. This leads
to indirect techni8ues cycles" .here the practitioner alternates
(Table of Contents)

one techni8ue after another o(er the course of a minute in
search of the one that .or*s. 0t is (ery important to do no
less than 4 cycles of to : techni8ues durin% an attempt.
Remember 4 e(en if a techni8ue doesnEt .or* immediately"
that doesnEt mean that it .ill not .or* on the (ery ne1t cycle
of techni8ues" if not 6ust a bit later. ThatEs precisely .hy itEs
necessary to stubbornly alternate techni8ues" performin% no
less than 4 complete cycles" but all .ithin no lon%er than a
minute.
+or e1ample" the entire process may ta*e place as
follo.s: a phaser %oes to bed at ##::!pm and sets his alarm

the success of attempts upon a.a*enin%.
Gream consciousness is also considered to be a phase
e1perience. 0f you suddenly reali,e that youEre dreamin% .hile
asleep" then thatEs already the phase. Aou should therefore
proceed to implement your plan of action and stabili,e the
state. 0f dream consciousness does arise" it .ould be a side
effect of doin% techni8ue cycles upon a.a*enin%s. This side
effect is 8uite common 4 al.ays be ready for it.

se(eral times on the (ery first day-
Interesting Fact!
At a School of $ut2of2%od) Travel
seminar, a novice was able to leave his
bod) for the first time in his life in 8 of 0
attempts upon awakening the ver) first
morning.
E(en the most unsuccessful attempt should last no
lon%er than a minute. 0f nothin% happens o(er that period of

ma*in% it to a mirror and loo*in% at your reflection. Aou
should specifically pro%ram yourself to do this acti(ity" as it
.ill substantially facilitate your first steps in con8uerin% the
phase. Aou may then complete other items on your plan of
action and ne(er return to the mirror a%ain.
0f your sensations in the phase are dull (i.e. poor si%ht or
numbed bodily sensations)" try to touch e(erythin% around
you acti(ely and scrutini,e the minute details of ob6ects from
up4close. This .ill allo. you to ha(e a more realistic
e1perience. The same acti(ities should be performed in order
to maintain the phase .hen the first symptoms of a return to
the body occur (for e1ample" .hen e(erythin% becomes dim).
Returnin% to the body is somethin% you neednEt .orry
about. The state .ill not last more than se(eral minutes in

techni8ues can also be used after any other a.a*enin% 4 in
the middle of the ni%ht for e1ample" or better yet" durin% a
midday nap. @hatEs most important is to establish the clear
intention of tryin% them before fallin% asleep.

Gespite the simplicity of these techni8ues" no(ices

Interesting Fact!
At School of $ut2of2%od) Travel
seminars, the main task consists not in
e4plaining the proper procedure, but merel)
in getting participants to follow it to2the2
letter. &ven if that goal is onl) half2wa)
accomplished, success is inevitable.
Typical mista*es .hen performin% indirect techni8ues
include:
- #ack of a+ atte01t to ,e1arate
#orgetting to simpl) tr) to separate immediatel)
after awakening before c)cling techni/ues, even though
this ma) lead to up to 3,1 of all e4periences.
&4ception? awakening to movement, after which one
ma) immediatel) proceed to the techni/ues.
- #ack of a55re,,io+
A desire to get a techni/ue to work no matter
what and reall) get into it is the main criterion for
success in emplo)ing the indirect techni/ue procedure.
!eanwhile, determination should not be superficial, but
intensel) focused on the actions to be completed. Lack
of determination can also manifest itself in passivel)
falling asleep during an attempt.

c)cles of techni/ues, assuming none have worked so
far. @ot following this simple rule will scuttle more than
half of )our opportunities to enter the phase.
- &++ece,,ary 3ha+5e of Tech+i4ue
5espite the clear instructions given, novices will
stubbornl) switch techni/ues after B to 3 seconds, even
when a techni/ue has started working in one wa) or
another. This is a serious error. .f a techni/ue has
started working 2 however so slightl) 2 )ou need to
keep with it and tr) to intensif) it in an) wa) possible.
- &++ece,,ary 3o+ti+uatio+ of a Tech+i4ue
.f a techni/ue hasn>t begun working in the least
after B to 3 seconds, it should be changed for another.
The point of c)cling is to /uickl) alternate between
techni/ues until one of them starts working.
- For5etti+5 to Se1arate
<hen an) techni/ue starts working upon
awakening 2 no matter to what degree 2 the
practitioner is nearl) alwa)s alread) in the phase, and
is simpl) l)ing on his bod) while in it. That>s wh) )ou
should alwa)s tr) to separate immediatel) upon there
being stable signs that a techni/ue is working. .f that
doesn>t work out, then )ou need to return to
intensif)ing the techni/ue and tr) to separate again. .f
)ou don>t use the first seconds of a techni/ue working,
then the phase usuall) ends /uite /uickl) and the
necessar) state goes awa). 5on>t lie in )our bod) while
in the phase!
- E2ce,,ive A+aly,i,
.f )ou anal)Ce what>s going on when c)cling
through techni/ues upon awakening, then )ou are not
concentrated on the techni/ues themselves and are
sidetracking )ourself. This will cause )ou to miss nearl)
all chances of obtaining results. The desire to
e4perience the techni/ue working should full) consume
)ou, leaving no place in the mind for anal)sis or
contemplation.

- E2ce,,ively Alert A/ake+i+5 (+o Atte01t or a
Slu55i,h O+e)
5ue to the perception of an e4cessivel) alert
awakening (which will be not actuall) be alert, but onl)
seem to be from D, to -,1 of the time the
practitioner will either forgo tr)ing an)thing, or will
make attempts /uite unassuredl), which is e/uivalent
to not tr)ing at all. Eou ought to follow the instructions
automaticall), and not pa) attention to such
perceptions upon awakening.
- Atte01ti+5 for #o+5er tha+ a -i+ute
.f no result is obtained after one minute of c)cling,
then )our odds of success will be much greater if )ou
go back to sleep right awa) and catch the ne4t
awakening in order to make a new attempt, as opposed
to stubbornl) tr)ing to continue on with the techni/ues.
- !+co01lete Se1aratio+
<hen attempting to separate, sometimes it
doesn>t come easil) or completel). Sluggishness, stuck
bod) parts, and being stuck in two bodies at once are
some things that ma) occur. @ever give up under an)
circumstances and do not stop separating if this
happens. #ull separation will occur if )ou counteract
such problems with all )our strength.
- (ot Reco5+i<i+5 the Pha,e
=ractitioners often enter the phase but then return
back to the bod) because the) feel that what occurred
is not what the) had e4pected. #or e4ample, when
observing images the) are often pulled into the
scener), or the) are spontaneousl) thrown into another
world when rotating. =ractitioners often think that the)
have to e4perience the feeling of separation itself,
which is wh) the) might return back to their bodies in
order to obtain it. The same applies to becoming
conscious while dreaming, as the practitioner is alread)
in the phase and it onl) remains to deepen and
implement his plan of action.

- A/ake+i+5 to -ove0e+t (+o Atte01t or a Slu55i,h
O+e)
Awakening without moving is desirable, but not
mandator). There>s no sense in forgoing most
opportunities b) waiting for the right awakening. Eou
must take advantage of ever) awakening that )ou can.
- Wa,ti+5 the Fir,t Seco+d,
Tr) to develop the habit of immediatel) and
refle4ivel) proceeding to the techni/ues upon
awakening, without losing a second. The more time
that elapses between awakening and the attempt itself,
the lower the odds of success. .t>s best to learn to
catch not so much the ver) second of awakening, but
rather the transitional moment when 6surfacing7 from
sleep. Separation is almost alwa)s successful during
that transitional moment.
- Selectio+ of Sa0e-Ty1e Tech+i4ue,
There>s no point in selecting techni/ues for )our
practice that are similar to one another or focused on
the same sensation (when using techni/ues from other
parts of this book.
- &,e of a Si+5le Tech+i4ue
')cling indirect techni/ues upon awakening is a
universal method that can work for an)bod) provided
the) alternate several techni/ues. 'ompletel) different
methods ma) work over different attempts. That>s wh)
using onl) a single techni/ue upon awakening instead
of c)cling through at least two leads to substantiall)
lowered odds of entering the phase.
- Fal,e Phy,ical -ove0e+t
Sometimes separation is so indistinguishable from
ordinar) ph)sical movement that novices are unable to
believe their own success. The) perceive separation as a
ph)sical movement and then disappointedl) lie back
down into their bod). .n such cases, one ought to
carefull) evaluate the situation and possibl) perform
realit) checks.

0 had already seen a T. re1 at least fi(e times before" but
this one .as much lar%er than all of the pre(ious ones. E(en

E+teri+5 the Pha,e State

T'E ESSE(3E OF T'E P'ASE P'E(O-E(O(
The term phase state (or simply phase) encompasses a
number of .idely *no.n dissociati(e phenomena" many of
.hich are referred to by (arious terms" such as astral tra(el
or out4of4body e1perience. This concept also includes the
more pra%matic term lucid dreamin%" but is not limited to the
sense and form implied by that e1pression. Bence" the term
phase has been introduced to ease the study of phenomena
that e1ist beyond habitual K and often inaccurate4
associations and stereotypes. The term out4of4body
e1perience is accurate to the e1tent that it describes the
sensation felt by a person e1periencin% the phase
phenomenon.
A phase has two primar) attributes? *. practitioners
possess full, conscious awareness during the e4perience, and
+. practitioners recogniCe a genuine separation from the
ph)sical bod).
)imultaneously" the de%ree to .hich practitioners
percei(e the phase en(ironment affects the le(el of sensory
e1periences therein" .hich often occur in a hi%her form than
(Table of Contents)
175
the sensory e1periences of .a*efulness. This concept is
difficult to ima%ine .ithout firsthand e1perience of the phase.
Dnd so" it is not .ithout reason that this practice is
considered to be a hi%her state of self4hypnosis or meditation"
and is often referred to under different names as the hi%hest
possible human achie(ement in (arious reli%ious and mystical
mo(ements (yo%a" Buddhism" etc.).
0n essence" the phase is an une1plored state of mind
.here one is unable to control or feel the physical body.
0nstead" space perception is filled .ith realistic phantom
e1periences.
Interesting Fact!
Sensations in the phase state can be
so realistic that practitioners who
unintentionall) enter it often believe the)
are still in the ph)sical bod), and that the
e4perience is occurring in the waking state.
These t)pes of unintended e4cursions most
often occur at night or earl) in the morning.

0t is belie(ed that one person in t.o on this planet .ill
encounter this phenomenon at least once in his life. Bo.e(er"
.hen the (ariability and differin% le(els of depth of the state
are ta*en into consideration" practically e(eryone has
encountered it in one .ay or another. )ince the phase is a
rare sub6ect of study" many .ho inad(ertently enter it do not
reali,e .hat has ta*en place once they return to .a*efulness.
$any do not assi%n any si%nificance to the occurrence of a
phase en(ironment that is not fully formed because shallo.
phases donJt lea(e the same 6oltin% impression as deep
states. Elusi(e as the phase may seem" this is an e1tremely
common phenomenon" accessible to anyone .illin% to
consciously learn and apply the correct methods of achie(in%
and maintainin% it.
Interesting Fact!

School of $ut2of2%od) Travel seminars.
!eanwhile, even as man) trouble
themselves over the issue of how much age
hinders or helps in the practice, these
people demonstrated some of best results
in their groups.
E(en a scientific approach to the phenomenon states
une8ui(ocally that the phase is accessible to all" barrin%
serious brain patholo%ies. This has been unambi%uously
confirmed by e1perimental research. Therefore" thereEs no
sense in reasonin% that the phase is somethin% difficult"
accessible only to a small circle of people" or out of anyoneEs
reach. Gifficulties in masterin% it attest only to techni8ue4
related mista*es" and not to the inaccessibility of the

There is also a theory .hich states that the phase is a

2nfortunately still" there is no clear definition of the
phenomenon in esoteric culture" nor an unambi%uous term for
it. Gependin% on the esoteric practice" the phase state is
alternati(ely lumped in .ith astral pro6ection or out4of4body
tra(el" and sometimes .ith lucid dreamin%. &ostulated is
some essence (the soul or astral body) lea(in% the physical

practice and state of bein%" .hile in others it is e8uated to the
physical .orld" and is but a layer bet.een more ethereal
realms. Iust the same" e1planations of the nature of the

0t is also often considered to be the same state that
people e1perience .hen dyin%. 0n many Eastern practices and
reli%ions" li*e Buddhism for e1ample" .here the main %oal is
to stop the cycle of reincarnation throu%h remainin% conscious
.hile dyin%" it is belie(ed that conscious dyin% can only be
accomplished throu%h ability to enter the phase" .hich .ould
be a form of trainin% for the moment of death and remainin%
conscious durin% it.
There are endless disa%reements re%ardin% ho. lucid
dreamin% (i.e. dream consciousness) actually differs from so4
called Cout4of4body tra(elC and .hether its classification under
the phase is 6ustified. The same contro(ersy e1tends to
another esoteric term 4 astral pro6ection. Gowever, such
doubts onl) trouble novices and those whose ac/uaintance
with the phase is superficial. @ot a single e4perienced

conclude that itEs indeed a parallel .orld" .hile another mi%ht
maintain that itEs all %enerated by the mind.
There are many reasons to classify lucid dreamin% (i.e.
dream consciousness) to%ether .ith out4of4body tra(el. This
is not only because e1istin% research and a massi(e number
of peoplesE e1periences easily pro(e it. There are a number of
8uestions that adherents of di(idin% phase phenomena into
(arious states cannot ans.er. +irst" .hy do lucid dreamers
and out4of4body tra(elers use the (ery same techni8ues to
achie(e their states" but merely call the result by different
namesL )econd" .hy are the fundamental properties of the
out4of4body plane and lucid4dreamin% .orld e1actly the
sameL Third" if the .orld of dreamin% can ta*e on any
e1ternal form .ith any properties" then ho. does one
differentiate real e1it of the soul from the body into the
physical .orld 4 or a parallel astral one 4 from a simulated
dreamscapeL $any can offer theoretical e1planations" but not
one that can be applied or pro(en in practice.
&eople usually encounter e1treme physiolo%ical difficulty
in lea(in% behind the idea of there bein% a myriad of .orlds
that they can fall into. This is usually ti%htly inter.o(en .ith
their life philosophy and .orld(ie." .hich can be pulled at the
seams by such 8uestionin%. Bo.e(er" e(en opponents of
classifyin% phase e1periences to%ether can easily use the

T%PES OF TE3'(!*&ES
There are three primary types of techni8ues that ma*e it
possible to enter the phase: direct" indirect and dream
consciousness. These methods are performed .hile lyin%
do.n or reclinin%" eyes closed" and the body in a state of total
rela1ation.
Interesting Fact!
$ften, people have an out2of2bod)
e4perience without prior knowledge or belief
in the phenomenon. .t ;ust happens, and a
large bod) of evidence has been gathered
to support this fact. &ven more interesting
is that spontaneous e4periences often occur
after a brief stud) of material about the
topic, like this guidebook...

5irect techni/ues are performed without an) noticeable
lapse in consciousness. <hile practicing direct techni/ues, a
lapse into sleep for less than 3 minutes is not considered a
breach of the techni/ue.
By definition" direct techni8ues encompass the
performance of specific actions for a pre4defined inter(al of
time. )uccessfully applied" direct methods result in a phase
entrance .ithout passin% throu%h any intermediary states.
+or ?!; of the population" these techni8ues are the most
difficult because the mind naturally e1ists in an e1cessi(ely
acti(e state. 0t has been clearly pro(en .ithin the )choolJs
student body that no(ice practitioners do not benefit from
be%innin% a trainin% re%imen .ith direct techni8ues. This is
because direct techni8ues re8uire a thorou%h understandin%
and masterful application of indirect techni8ues in order to be
effecti(e. The incorrect notion that the phase state is
e1tremely difficult to enter is due to the fact that people are
more often dra.n to the more difficult direct techni8ues. 0t is
(Table of Contents)
190
al.ays better to approach direct techni8ues only after
becomin% e1pert in the use of indirect techni8ues.

.ndirect techni/ues are techni/ues that are put into
practice upon awakening from sleep.
The effecti(eness of indirect techni8ues is not dependent
on the len%th of the prere8uisite sleep cycle. 0ndirect
techni8ues can be used .hile e1itin% a full ni%htJs sleep" after
a daytime catnap" or follo.in% se(eral hours of deep sleep.
The most important thin% is that there is a lapse of
consciousness into sleep before implementin% the techni8ues.
0ndirect techni8ues are the easiest techni8ues to
practice" .hich is .hy many practitioners use them to enter
the phase. )leep naturally pro(ides the mind .ith deep
rela1ation" .hich is often difficult to ac8uire by other
methods. )ince sleep is re8uired to perform indirect
techni8ues" it is a con(enient" oft4occurrin% means to conduct
e1periments .ith the phase. 7o(ice practitioners benefit
%reatly from the use of indirect techni8ues" and learn
firsthand the possibility of phase entrance.

5ream consciousness is ac/uired b) techni/ues that
allow entrance to the phase through what is commonl)
referred to as lucid dreaming.
0n this case" the phase be%ins .hen the a.areness that
a dream is occurrin% happens .ithin the dream itself. Dfter
becomin% conscious .hile dreamin%" se(eral types of actions
can be performed" includin% deepenin% or returnin% to the
body and rollin% out" .hich .ill be described later. @hen
deepenin% techni8ues are applied in the conte1t of a
conscious dream" the sensory perceptions of the phase
surpass those of normal .a*efulness.
Techni8ues that facilitate dream consciousness are
usually cate%ori,ed separately from methods used to perform
out4of4body tra(elH in practice" ho.e(er" it is apparent that
the characteristics of dream consciousness and out4of4body
tra(el are identical" .hich places both phenomena directly in
(Table of Contents)

the phase. These practices are difficult because" unli*e other
techni8ues" they do not in(ol(e specific actions that produce
instantaneous results. D lar%e measure of preparatory steps
must be obser(ed that re8uire time and effort .ithout any
%uarantee of results. Bo.e(er" dream consciousness

E(ery phaser finds their o.n balance bet.een all of the
methods for enterin% the phase based on their abilities to
.or* on them" their indi(idual predispositions" and their (ery
understandin% of ho. to perform them. )ome .or* .ith only
one type of techni8ue. $ost often itEs the indirect method or
dream consciousness. Bo.e(er" .hene(er possible itEs best to
stri(e for balance and di(ersify phase entrances as much as
possible. $oreo(er" practically e(erythin% becomes achie(able
.ith practice" and in this field nothin% is impossible. @ith a

method .ill account for about #9; of all e1periences" the
indirect method 9!; (half of those bein% immediate

had than*s to dream consciousness. Bo.e(er" at times the
boundary bet.een methods is so hard to pin do.n that it
sometimes appears impossible to assi%n a phase entrance to
a specific method.
0n addition to the techni8ues described abo(e" there are
also non4autonomous means and tools: (arious de(ices"
pro%rams" e1ternal influences" and so forth" .hich can be
used to enter the phase. 0t is necessary to mention that these
are only useful to practitioners .ho are able to enter the
phase .ithout supplementary assistance.

&hase entry is a (ery profound" incredible e1perience
that may induce fear" .hich is in(o*ed by a natural instinct

from a description of the techni8ues themsel(es" .hich .ill
actually apply practically 6ust as much to direct techni8ues as
to indirect techni8uesH as they only differ in character and
len%th of application.
There are plenty of techni8ues" so after practicin% all of
the indirect techni8ues presented in this chapter" a
practitioner should be able to choose three or four of the most
strai%htfor.ard" indi(idually effecti(e methods.
)eparation techni8ues .ill be e1amined later. They are
completely different from usual techni8ues" .hich only brin%
one into the phase" but do not necessarily themsel(es lead to
separation from the body. 0t is often also necessary to *no.

these techni8ues.
0t is necessary to understand .hen to employ these
techni8ues" and the importance of .a*in% from sleep .ithout

techni8ue is to attempt the mo(ement of a physical body part

The ne1t step to masterin% indirect techni8ues is
choosin% the ri%ht techni8ues that suit indi(idual
predispositions. There is no point in %oin% for one techni8ue
or another only because they loo* interestin% and because
someone .rote a lot or spo*e a lot about them. The choice
should be based strictly upon .hat suits an indi(idual
practitioner.
Out of all of the enumerated primary indirect techni8ues"
practically only strainin% the brain .or*s easily and 8uic*ly for
?9; of practitioners. Dll other techni8ues .or* immediately
for only about 9; to 9!; of practitioners durin% initial
trainin%. Bo.e(er" after se(eral trainin% sessions" each
techni8ue yields results for =9; of en%a%ed practitioners.

techni8ues should not be discarded .holesale by the
indi(idual" because they afford an opportunity to achie(e
success throu%h ne." pre(iously unresponsi(e e1periences.
To ensure the correct selection of techni8ues" each
should be separately practiced o(er a period of at least three
days. To this end" one should e1periment .ith each of the
primary techni8ues for to #! minutes durin% the day. This
re%imen allo.s a precise determination of the techni8ues that
.ill yield the best results for the practitioner. Gurin% the
process of selectin% personali,ed techni8ues" a practitioner

Interesting Fact!
"elativel) often, a practitioner will tr)
to emplo) separation techni/ues to no

(Table of Contents)
207
understand that he had been l)ing in a
different position than he sensed that he
was in, and in fact, it had onl) been
necessar) for him to stand up. This happens
mostl) among beginners and is indicative of
an incorrect understanding of separation
techni/ues.

Dt times a practitioner need only thin* about separation"
and it happens. This is a rarity" .hich e1plains the e1istence
of a .hole series of au1iliary techni8ues. The most important
separation techni8ues are rollin% out" %ettin% up" climbin%

@hile a.a*enin%" try to climb out of the body .ithout

)eparation techni8ues are united by a sin%ular idea:
nothin% should be ima%ined" mo(ement should be attempted
.ithout the use of physical muscles. The techni8ues produce
the same sensations of mo(ement felt in real life. 0f nothin%
happens immediately after tryin%" then the techni8ue is not
%oin% to .or*" thou%h it may deli(er results at a later time. D
practitioner .ill instantly be able to reco%ni,e if the techni8ue
has .or*ed. Bo.e(er" people are often unprepared for the
realness of the sensations and thin* that they are ma*in% a
physical mo(ement instead of reali,in% that a part or all of the
body has separated. Dfter this unfortunate failure" careful
analysis helps to understand .hat happened and plan for a
successful retry.
0f separation .as incomplete or too* place .ith some
difficulty" this is a si%nal that the techni8ue is bein%
performed correctly" but that stren%th and a%%ressi(e effort
are re8uired from this point to achie(e complete separation.
+or e1ample" if some mo(ement be%an and then stopped
after ha(in% made some pro%ress" then one should %o bac*
and mo(e e(en harder once a%ain in the same direction.
0n order to practice separation techni8ues" lie do.n .ith
the eyes closed and attempt all of them o(er the course of
se(eral minutes. D separation attempt has li*ely been
accomplished if no muscles t.itch or strain and a sensation of
mo(ement occurs. There .ill be a stron%" almost physically
palpable internal effort to perform a mo(ement. 7aturally" no
physical mo(ement actually occurs and the practitioner
remains prone and immobileH ho.e(er" at the ri%ht moment"
these actions .ill lead to an easy entrance into the phase.

Interesting Fact!
Appro4imatel) *1 to B1 of the time
that the phase is practiced, one realiCes
immediatel) upon awakening that one has
alread) separated. This means that one
ma) alread) go somewhere and stand, lie
down, sit down, etc. This is not however
becoming conscious in a dream, but an
actual awakening.
0t is also .orth discussin% ho. to conduct yourself upon
separation if one of the phase creation techni8ues starts
.or*in%. 0n such a situation" itEs important to reali,e that
separation should be done .ith the same body and same
sensations that .ere obtained .hen performin% the
techni8ue. +or e1ample" .hen rotatin%" you need to stand up
usin% the same sensations of rotatin%" and .hen obser(in%
ima%es you need to separate usin% the same body that sees
the ima%es" etc.
Ddditionally" itEs important not to completely return bac*
to the body if your phase creation techni8ue in(ol(es the
sensation of partial separation from the body. +or e1ample 4 if
rotation .or*ed" then before tryin% to separate" there is no
need to fully turn bac* into the body and mer%e .ith it.
)eparation .ould immediately become much more difficult.
0tEs better to do it on the fly after haltin% rotation in a position
perpendicular to your physical body. The same temptation
can arise durin% phantom .i%%lin%" .hen separation should
be%in from the arm that be%an to mo(e 4 i.e. do not mo(e it
bac* into the physical body. The same %oes for all of the
partial separation techni8ues.
0f a no(ice has learned throu%h practice .hat phantom
.i%%lin% is and ho. it feels" then he may proceed to
separation li*e he .ould to phantom .i%%lin%" but this time
mo(in% his entire body. That is" this is an attempt to mo(e
(Table of Contents)
211
.ith the percei(ed (i.e. subtle) bodyH not a muscle is to be
mo(ed in the physical one.
The most important thing is to immediatel) realiCe that
logicall) speaking, if indirect techni/ues have worked or
awakening has ;ust occurred, then the practitioner is alread)
in the phase. All of his sensations are no longer coming from
his ph)sical bod), although it ma) seem that the) do. All that
remains is to stand up, roll out, and levitate, as if doing so
with the ph)sical bod).
7o(ices and the ine1perienced often try to disco(er
some tell4tale si%n of separation" and e1pect to encounter it in
practice. Dctually" there are a .hole (ariety of sensations that
occur durin% this process. Those .ho do not *no. this often
.aste a lar%e number of e1periences .hen they encounter
une1pected situations. ThatEs .hy itEs %ood to al.ays be
prepared for any e(entuality and *no. the primary separation
scenarios obser(ed in ??; of all cases.
Types of &hase Entrances ()eparations) 'isted by
)ensation:
- Ordi+ary 0ove0e+t
Gere, separation usuall) seems like a completel)
ordinar) movement, as if it were made with the
ph)sical bod). The practitioner simpl) stands up, rolls
out, or levitates as if he were doing so in realit).
- Se1aratio+
Actual direct separation of the subtle bod) from
the ph)sical one, as if the practitioner were actuall)
e4iting something. 5espite the fact that this sensation
gave its name to the entire process of entering the
phase (6separation7, direct separation occurs /uite
rarel) and the term is inaccurate in terms of sensation.
- Pulli+5
A feeling of a mass of gumm) rubber stretching
from ever) part of )our subtle bod) and pulling it back
(Table of Contents)
212
into )our ph)sical one. #orcefull) overcome that feeling
of being pulled in, and it will dissipate.
- Slu55i,h+e,,
The subtle bod) becomes /uite heav), as if it
weighed several times more. The sluggishness will
dissipate in proportion to the counteracting force
applied.
- A/ake+i+5 to Se1aratio+
The practitioner awakens or surfaces from a lapse
in consciousness in an alread) separated state, and
does not need to separate or use a phase creation
techni/ue. Simpl) get up and go forth.
- Stuck Body Part,
Some parts of the subtle bod) can become stuck
in a ph)sical stencil during the process of separation.
#or e4ample, this often occurs with the legs, trunk,
head, and pelvis. .n such situations )ou need to full)
break free with all )our might b) changing the direction
of )our e4ertion.
- Bei+5 i+ T/o Bodie, at O+ce
A feeling arises of not reall) being in the phase
and not reall) l)ing in bed, but of trul) being in the
phase and also trul) l)ing in bed at the same time. Eou

T'E BEST T!-E TO PRA3T!3E
The *ey to practice is the 8uantity and 8uality of
attempts made that hone a practitionerJs s*ills. There are
se(eral .indo.s of time best suited for employin% indirect
techni8ues.
To be%in" it should be stated that sleep follo.s a cyclical

mo(ement (7RE$) sleep. 7RE$ sleep includes many internal
sta%es. The more .e sleep" the less the body needs deep
7RE$ sleep" and the more time .e spend in RE$ sleep. &hase
entrance is most li*ely to occur durin% RE$ sleep.
The best .ay to implement indirect techni8ues is by the
deferred method. The aim of the method is to interrupt a
sleep cycle durin% its final sta%e and then disrupt it a%ain
after fallin% bac* to sleep" .hich ma*es sleep li%ht durin% the
rest of the sleep cycle. )leep accompanied by fre8uent
interruptions can be put to producti(e uses.

Dside from natural methods to achie(e conscious

measure of success. These .ill be co(ered in Chapter 9 in the
(Table of Contents)
220
section describin% non4autonomous .ays of enterin% the
phase.
The best moment for conscious awakening is while
e4iting a dream. This is the most effective and productive
time to attempt separation or performing the techni/ues. Dt
this moment" physical a.areness of the body is at a
minimum. D.areness at the (ery end of a dream often occurs
after ni%htmares" painful e1periences in the dream" fallin%
dreams K any dream that causes a sudden a.a*enin%.

.hen consciousness itself has not yet had time to return. This
type of refle1 is hi%hly beneficial to sei,in% the most fruitful of
opportunities to enter the phase.
Gue to (arious psycholo%ical and physiolo%ical factors" it
is not possible for e(ery person to achie(e conscious
a.a*enin% after e(ery sleep cycle. Thus" there is no point in
becomin% upset if conscious a.a*enin% does not occur e(ery
time. E1periencin% only to : a.a*enin%s per day is normalH
this is sufficient enou%h to attempt phase entrance to 9
times per .ee* .hen practiced daily.
0t is not .orth %ettin% carried a.ay .ith an e1cessi(e

noted that doin% #! conscious a.a*enin%s or more (some
students try ! or e(en :!) o(er the course of one ni%ht and
mornin% rarely yields results. This is due to the fact that if
one sets oneself a %oal that is desired so much that its
reali,ation brea*s the natural rhythms of the body" one
depri(es oneself of the intermediate" transitional states that
ma*e the phase effecti(e. D practitioner may also 8uic*ly
become emotionally e1hausted from the lar%e number of
attempts and be unable to push limits in the ri%ht direction.
The upside is that one .ill simply tire out. 0f that starts to

Con(ersely" if one lies do.n e1pectin% somethin% to happen"

#or some practitioners having trouble
reaching the phase, one motivation for
separating without using an) techni/ues is
an unwillingness to 6bang their heads
against techni/ues7 an) further. This forces
them to catch the right moment of

themselves much harder during it. The
result is that the) are practicall) alwa)s

The practitioner should already ha(e chosen a minimum
of three primary or secondary techni8ues that suit a practical
repertoire. Bere is .here the techni8ues are put into action.
@ota %ene! .n order to give a specific e4ample, we will
e4amine the use of three specific techni/ues, which should be

techni8ue of phantom .i%%lin%.
+or : to 9 seconds" the practitioner 8uic*ly searches the
entire body for a part that can be .i%%led. Or" the entire
period of time is spent in an attempt to .i%%le a specific body
part: a fin%er" hand" or le%. 0f the desired effect occurs" then
the practitioner should continue .ith the techni8ue and
achie(e the ma1imum possible ran%e of mo(ement. Gurin%
this process" a number of thin%s can happen" includin%
spontaneous separation" a successful separation attempt" free
mo(ement of the .i%%led part" or the presence of sound or
(ibrations. Dll of these e(ents are of %reat ad(anta%e. 0f
nothin% .i%%les o(er the course of : to 9 seconds" then the

possible" or (ibrations .ill occur. 0f no noise occurs o(er the
course of : to 9 seconds" then the entire cycle should be
repeated.
0t is beneficial to e1amine the reason behind the use of a
set of three indirect techni8ues. This is moti(ated by the fact
that the body often reacts to techni8ues in (ery peculiar
.ays. +or one person" a techni8ue may .or* one day and not
.or* on another day" .hich is .hy if only one techni8ue is
used" e(en a (ery %ood techni8ue that .or*s often" a
practitioner can miss out on a lot of different e1perience
throu%h the lac* of (ariety in practice. Thus" a practical
repertoire should consist of se(eral techni8ues.
Interesting Fact!
Sometimes, the first techni/ue that works for
a practitioner never results in a repeat of phase
entrance again, although other techni/ues that
were not immediatel) effective at the novice
stages of practice later begin to work regularl)
and successfull).
0t is also important to understand that the techni8ues

E(en if only a fe. attempts are made accompanied by

0t is often possible to simultaneously perform t.o or

are: ima%es from sound" sound from rotation" sound from

(ibrations from rotation" (ibrations from phantom .i%%lin%"
and so forth.
5uring initial attempts at using c)cles of indirect
techni/ues, the problem of confusion during a critical moment
ma) arise, when a novice practitioner suddenl) forgets
e4actl) what to do and how to do it. This is normal, and the
solution is to immediatel) do whatever comes to mind.
"esults can be achieved in this manner. <hen a practitioner
is more rela4ed about the practice, such problems will no
longer occur.
'!(TS FRO- T'E -!(
Varied cycles of indirect techni8ues is an almost
mandatory precondition for %ettin% the best result. There are
some e1ceptions. )ometimes" throu%h indirect indicators" a
practitioner may be inclined to be%in .ith certain techni8ues"
re%ardless of .hat had been planned. These are a sort of hint
from the body and the ability to use such cues plays an
e1tremely important role in the use of indirect techni8ues
because they enable a practitioner to substantially increase
the effecti(eness of his practice.

0f the practitioner becomes a.are upon a.a*enin% that

0f a practitioner feels (ibrations throu%hout the body

strainin% the brain or strainin% the body .ithout usin%

practitioner can try to separate. 0f nothin% happens after
se(eral attempts" indirect techni8ue cycles should start.

'i+t (o. ;" (u0b+e,,
0f a practitioner .a*es to numbness in a body part"
phantom .i%%lin% of that part should be attempted. 0f no
result is achie(ed after se(eral attempts" cyclin% should be
tried. Of course" it is better to refrain from techni8ues if the
numbness is (ery intense and causes substantial discomfort.
'i+t (o. =" Paraly,i,
0f the practitioner feels that his body is immobili,ed and
that he is unable to mo(e a muscle upon a.a*enin%" then he
has encountered sleep paralysis (sleep stupor). This
phenomenon is a si%n that one is in the phase" and it only
remains for the practitioner to someho. separate from the
body no matter .hat" as .ell as o(ercome the ni%ht terror
that often arises durin% sleep paralysis.

232
These hints may arise not only immediately upon
a.a*enin%" but also upon an attempt to perform cycles of
techni8ues. 0f the hints are more pronounced than the results
of the techni8ues themsel(es" then it ma*es sense to turn
oneEs attention to them or e1ploit them concurrently .ith
techni8ues.
0t is also necessary to simply understand .hat the hint is
tryin% to tell you: for e1ample" if some unreal sensation
suddenly arises on its o.n upon a.a*enin%" then it is
necessary to simply intensify it and lea(e the body ri%ht then.
0f you follo. this %eneral principle" then you donEt need to
*no. e1actly .hat the hints are or .hat e1actly to do .hen
they occur. E(erythin% should happen intuiti(ely and easily.
The point is that there are a lar%e number of other phase
manifestations in addition to the fi(e hints abo(e that one
should be al.ays ready for. Bo.e(er" it .ould be simply
impossible to describe them all" let alone remember them.
AGGRESS!O( A( PASS!$!T%
Gurin% the practice of indirect techni8ues" includin%
techni8ue cycles" unsuccessful attempts may result in fallin%
asleep or becomin% completely a.a*e. These results indicate
a deficiency or e1cess of a%%ression.
0f a practitioner usually falls asleep .hile attemptin% to
enter the phase" then more a%%ressi(e action is needed .hile
performin% indirect techni8ues. 0f" on the other hand" most
attempts end in a full and alert a.a*enin%" then a%%ression
should be curbed and techni8ues should be conducted more
slo.ly and in a more rela1ed manner. Balance bet.een

leisurel), without desire or real effort, to 6check them off the
list7. "esults are more easil) realiCed if the practitioner
possesses an aggressive desire to enter the phase. !ore
often than not, practitioners lack aggressive desire, instead of
having too much of it. Thus, each effort re/uires a distinct
want to succeed.
T'E BER-&A TR!A(G#E OF ATTE-PTS
)uccess at enterin% the phase depends on t.o factors:
8uantity and 8uality of attempts. Dccordin%ly" the %reater the
8uantity of hi%h48uality attempts" the %reater the odds of
ha(in% a phase e1perience. Bo.e(er" practically all
practitioners encounter certain psycholo%ical difficulties that
depri(e them of :! to =9; of all attempts. That is" phasers
often e1perience only half of .hat they could due to certain
patterns of thou%ht.
This mainly occurs durin% t.o common situations in
.hich practitioners simply lose all desire to e(en try: a)
e1cessi(ely alert a.a*enin% b) a.a*enin% to physical
mo(ement. E(en if a phaser suddenly decides to %i(e it a try
in such situations" his attempts are understandably performed
.a(erin%ly and poorly" .hich is e8ui(alent to not tryin% at all.
Bo.e(er" in the absolute ma6ority of such cases" no attempt
is e(en made.
The hilarity of the situation consists in the probable
falseness of the sensations of both e1cessi(ely alert
a.a*enin% and a.a*enin% to physical mo(ement. +or
e1ample" the thou%ht" C0 .o*e up .ay too alertly" nothin%Es
%oin% to .or* no.C is usually immediately follo.ed by fallin%
bac* asleep. Bo.e(er" a substantial portion of mo(ements
upon a.a*enin% are false" e(en thou%h it may seem that they
are made .ith the physical body. But e(en if there is an
actual alert a.a*enin% and actual physical mo(ement" the
li*elihood of enterin% the phase does not actually decrease as
much as one mi%ht thin*. ThatEs .hy it is not only possible try

to enter the phase in such situations 4 it is a must. Those .ho
follo. this simple principle alone may en6oy t.ice as many
phase e1periences as those .ho do not.
Bo.e(er" mindfulness of this principle alone is often
insufficient to compensate for psycholo%ical certainty that
nothin% .ill .or* durin% a specific attempt. 0n order to sol(e
this problem" one may use one a most effecti(e psycholo%ical
tric* based on self4deception. 0f it seems to the practitioner
that there is no sense in ma*in% an attempt as nothin% .ill
.or* any.ay" he ou%ht thin* e1actly as follo.s: CDlri%ht"

and practice cyclin% indirect techni8ues" .ithout .orryin%
about the outcome.
0t should also be noted that a phaser .ill often lose out
on an attempt throu%h the belief that he has to catch the
ri%ht moment of bein% half4a.a*e. $any thin* that catchin%
that moment is a mandatory prere8uisite for the indirect
method. 0t %enerally is" but that moment of transition usually
doesnEt be%in at the second one a.a*ens 4 rather" it arises
ri%ht .hen performin% cycles of techni8ues- That is" the

Interesting Fact!
At an e4perimental seminar held
August +*2+B, +,,- in 5nepropetrovsk
(:kraine, A, participants were asked to
perform mandator) c)cles of all the indirect
techni/ues together with the techni/ue of
forced falling asleep. The success rate for
the whole group reached D31 after onl)
two nights, not counting those participants
who made no attempts at all. This was the
most successful seminar into +,**, and the
s)stem first tested out there took on the
name IThe 5nepropetrovsk !ethod7.
Backdro1 for All Tech+i4ue,
This is to be employed simultaneously .ith all indirect
techni8ues" as a bac*drop to them. @hile performin% any
techni8ue" the phaser should try to fall asleep simultaneously"
as if the techni8ue bein% performed (phantom .i%%lin%"
rotation" etc.) .ere necessary not for phase entrance" but for
acceleratin% fallin% asleep. D phaser should simply try to fall
asleep to the techni8ue bein% performed .ithout actually
fallin% asleep. Dny techni8ue .ill usually be%in to .or* at that
moment" and it can be easily brou%ht to the phase. One no
lon%er needs to employ or continue on .ith concurrent forced
fallin% asleep at this point. +or e1ample" if a practitionerEs
hand did not start mo(in% .ithin a fe. seconds of a%%ressi(e
phantom .i%%lin%" he .ill then be%in tryin% to .i%%le his hand
.hile tryin% to fall asleep at the same time. The hand .ill
usually yield to .i%%lin% .ithin se(eral seconds" and the
ran%e of motion .ill be%in to increase. Bac*drop forced fallin%
asleep may be included in the routine both from the start of
attempts" as .ell as only .hen the techni8ues themsel(es are
(Table of Contents)
238
not .or*in%. Such an approach often guarantees the greatest
odds of success for indirect techni/ues.
Interesting Fact!
<hen performed properl), backdrop
use of forced falling asleep makes the
choice of techni/ue performed upon
awakening inconse/uential, as an)
techni/ue will immediatel) start working.
Bri+5i+5 the Tech+i4ue, to 3o01letio+
This is to be used in cases .hen some indirect techni8ue
has be%un .or*in%" albeit 8uite .ea*ly or insufficiently. Bere"
in order to brin% the .or*in% techni8ue up to the ri%ht de%ree
of manifestation" the practitioner should be%in to perform
forced fallin% asleep in parallel to it" 6ust as is done .ith
bac*drop forced fallin% asleep. That is" the phaser should try
to seemin%ly fall asleep to the techni8ue bein% performed. Ds
a result" the partially manifestin% techni8ue .ill start to .or*
much better ri%ht then" and allo. for the phase to be reached
much sooner.
Gespite all the merits of forced fallin% asleep and
opportunities it offers" it 8uite rarely .or*s at )chool of Out4
of4Body Tra(el seminars for be%inners. 0t is often put for.ard
as an element for ad(anced practitioners .ho ha(e reached
the ne1t le(el of sophistication. The problem consists in the
fact that forced fallin% asleep is nearly al.ays difficult for
no(ices to conceptuali,e. 0n addition" information o(erload
leads to an inability to di%est additional information" and ris*s
cro.din% out more elementary tas*s at the start of oneEs
practice.
This is primarily .hy forced fallin% asleep must be
approached carefully. 0deally" the phaser himself should start
to feel it approach on its o.n. This often occurs after one has
already had a first e1perience. ThereEs no sense in includin% it
in the first thin%s to be learned. Rather" it should only be used
(Table of Contents)
239
to fine4tune the effecti(eness of attempts usin% indirect
techni8ues. The e1ception .ould be situations .here forced
fallin% asleep is the last tool that hasnEt yet been tried" and
nothin% else can be made to .or* upon a.a*enin%.
The most important thin% is to ne(er try this techni8ue if
you donEt understand it. D practitioner may lose out on real
e1perience in search of a sil(er bullet. Be .ould .aste time
and ener%y on thin%s obscure to him" and therefore" that
.hich is bound to be ineffecti(e. Con(ersely" if a practitioner
immediately understands forced fallin% asleep and is familiar
.ith it" then he may di(e ri%ht into tryin% it in his practice.
@hat follo.s is a (ery characteristic e1ample of ho. this
techni8ue can be incorrectly understood: 'et us assume that
a phaser tries to perform forced fallin% asleep in some .ay"
but that it doesnEt .or*. Dt the end of the attempt" the
disappointed practitioner decides to fall fast asleep in order to
catch the ne1t a.a*enin%. Dnd itEs 6ust at that moment that
he be%ins to feel an imminent approach of the phase
((ibrations" ima%ery" noise). On this the second try" he has
done e(erythin% the ri%ht .ay 4 naturally and unaffectedly.
@hereas before he had o(er4thou%ht and o(er4complicated
his actions .hen tryin% to do the techni8ue" no. he has been
doin% e(erythin% correctly 4 he simply be%ins fallin% asleep"
as forced fallin% asleep should be done.
.t>s worth pa)ing close attention to the fact that novices
often get results from indirect techni/ues not while c)cling
them, but onl) when the) want to fall asleep /uickl) after a
failed attempt in order to catch one more awakening.
The main problem .hen performin% forced fallin% asleep
is the ris* of easily fallin% asleep for real" no matter ho.
a.a*e oneEs mind seems before usin% this techni8ue. This
should al.ays be remembered" and the len%th of time that
this method is carried out should be carefully (aried. 0n most
cases" only se(eral seconds are necessary in order to %et
results. )ometimes it needs to be done for lon%er" and
sometimes the phaser falls asleep after t.o seconds of
performin% the techni8ue" althou%h it may seem to him that

he had a.o*en too alertly and that nothin% at all .ould .or*
for him.
STRATEG% FOR A3T!O(
)ome mista*enly belie(e that indirect techni8ues .ill
produce 8uic*" easy results" li*e a pill. Gespite the fact that
the techni8ues described in this %uideboo* are the best
means to enterin% the phase" stron% effort still needs to be
e1erted. This is not important for some" as e(erythin% comes
8uite easily to them" but for others this is of %reat
importance.
0ndirect techni8ues .ill definitely .or* if practiced
consistently and as described. 0t has already been noted that
in the ma6ority of cases" ma*in% se(eral concentrated
attempts upon a.a*enin% .ithout mo(ement is sufficient
enou%h to produce results. 0t may ta*e a lot of time and effort
to achie(e phase entrance" so practitioners .ho set %oals and
.or* dili%ently .ill be presented .ith a cro.n of success.
Dttempts are important in lar%e measure not only for the
final result" but also for the process itself. Gurin% practice" the
practitioner independently learns and sol(es issues that may
not ha(e been understood in the %uideboo*. Other times" the
practitioner .ill encounter situations that ha(e ne(er been
described at all. 0tJs impossible to prepare a student for e(ery
possible scenario" so as a practitioner mo(es deeper into
practice" a uni8ue" indi(idual perspecti(e and portfolio of
e1periences de(elops" .hich .ill certainly pro(e useful in the

action, the practitioner should never defocus his attention or

T'E BEST T!-E TO PRA3T!3E
The issue of time is not important .ith indirect
techni8ues since the ma6or prere8uisite is that they are
performed immediately after a.a*enin% occurs. 0n the case of
direct techni8ues" the issue of timin% is much more critical.
7aturally" the best method for findin% the ri%ht time to
perform direct techni8ues is the same as indirect techni8ues K
the deferred method. Bo.e(er" there are some serious
differences here. +irst of all" one may interrupt oneJs sleep at
practically anytime of the ni%ht or early mornin%. )econd"
after ha(in% .o*en up (94#9 min.)" one should not fall bac*
asleep" but should immediately proceed to the techni8ues.
Girect techni8ues are many times more effecti(e .ith
the deferred method than at any other time. This is due to
the fact that .ith the deferred method" the mind does not
ha(e time to become #!!; alert" and it is easy to fall into the
altered state of consciousness that .ill allo. results.
@hen it comes to specific steps" one should a.a*en in
the middle of the ni%ht either on oneEs o.n or .ith the help of
an alarm cloc*. Then" one should %et up and do somethin% for
(Table of Contents)
249
: to #! minutes" and then lie do.n a%ain in bed and perform
the techni8ues. 0f it is probable that the practitioner .ill .a*e
up in too alert a state" and thus not e(en be sleepy" then the
inter(al bet.een a.a*enin% and performin% the direct
techni8ue should be shortened" and fe.er thin%s should be
done durin% that period of time. 0t should be noted that .ith
this setup" a free4floatin% state of mind plays a far lesser role
that .ith other procedures.
The second most effecti(e .indo. of time is before
fallin% asleep at ni%ht" .hen the practitioner %oes to bed.
Gurin% this period of time" the brain needs to shut do.n the
body and mind in order to rene. its stren%th" .hich has been
e1pended o(er the course of the day. This natural process can
be ta*en ad(anta%e of by introducin% certain ad6ustments to
it.
Dttempts at performin% direct techni8ues durin% the day
are less effecti(e. Bo.e(er" if fati%ue has already had a
chance to build up by this time" this can be ta*en ad(anta%e
of because the body .ill try to fall into sleep. This is especially
suited for those .ho are accustomed to nappin% durin% the
day.
Fenerally" other .indo.s of time produce a substantially
.orse result" .hich is .hy one should start .ith performin%
direct techni8ues in the middle of the ni%ht" or before a
ni%htEs sleep. Only after such techni8ues ha(e been mastered
.ill it be possible to e1periment .ith daytime attempts.

There is not an e1act body position that each practitioner
should assume since" once a%ain" indi(idual characteristics

it %enerally pre(ents sleep.
0f a practitioner e1periences difficulty fallin% asleep and
is constantly a.a*e .hile performin% direct techni8ues" then
the most comfortable position for the indi(idual should be
used.
.f sleep comes /uite easil) to a practitioner, a less
natural position should be taken. .f a practitioner e4periences
fewer gaps in consciousness when the techni/ues are
performed and has a harder time falling asleep, a more
comfortable a position should be used. Gependin% on the

$oreo(er" no more than : days per .ee* should be spent on

RE#ABAT!O(
By nature" one should clearly understand that direct
techni8ues are in and of themsel(es rela1ation methods"
inasmuch as no phase can occur .ithout one bein% rela1ed.
Dccordin%ly" one can %o immediately into the phase .ithout
any prior rela1ation.
)ince the most effecti(e .indo. of time for usin% direct
techni8ues occurs before sleep and at ni%ht" and lasts only #!
to ! minutes in any case" additional time should not be
.asted on tryin% to rela1" nor should time for rela1ation be
subtracted from the re8uisite #! to ! minutes.
Correct and 8uality rela1ation is a difficult pursuit and
many %o about it in their o.n .ay" producin% an effect
opposite to that of natural rela1ation. +or e1ample" many

enterin% the phase is impossible.
The body automatically rela1es .hen the mind is
rela1ed. The body" in turn" .ill ne(er rela1 if the mind is
acti(e. Therefore" it is better for be%inners refrain from the
trouble of the nuances of rela1ation and sa(e their ener%ies
for more elementary matters.
0nstead of forcin% a technical rela1ation" a practitioner
should simply lie do.n for se(eral minutes and this .ill

$AR!AT!O(S OF &S!(G !RE3T TE3'(!*&ES
Techni8ues used to %ain direct entrance to the phase are
e1actly the same as those used durin% indirect attempts. The
only difference is in the method of implementation. Bo.e(er"

entries into the phase. +or e1ample" acti(e techni8ues li*e

Girect techni8ues differ from indirect techni8ues in their

The primary practical dra.bac* of the free4floatin% state
of mind is the possibility of fallin% completely asleep durin%
lapses instead of only temporarily dippin% into sleep.
Techni8ues are definitely necessary to ensure the desired
result. )uch techni8ues more or less fulfill an au1iliary
function" and thus one need not be strict about them.
Interesting Fact!
.t does not matter which direct
techni/ue is usedH as long as it leads to
lapses in consciousness, success is possible.

@hen performin% the (ariations of the techni8ues" a
practitioner can be%in to (acillate bet.een full alertness and
complete asleep" comin% to" and then noddin% off a%ain.
To a(oid fallin% asleep re8uires a stron% desire to return
to .a*efulness. This is accomplished by a stron% resol(e on
the part of the practitioner" e(en if" .hile performin% a direct
techni8ue" driftin% in and out of sleep occurs. The practitioner
must firmly assert that at the moment consciousness tapers
off" a.a*enin% .ill immediately occur.
On the other hand" if lapses do not occur" and are
replaced by complete alertness" the follo.in% tric*s of the
trade may help: full concentration on mental actions or"
con(ersely" musin% and daydreamin% in parallel .ith the
techni8ue bein% used. 0t should be noted that these are only
effecti(e at the initial sta%es of .or*in% .ith direct techni8ues
since such techni8ues ha(e a stron% sleep4inducin% effect.
0f direct techni8ues do not lead to li%ht sleep or sin%ular
lapses after a lon% period of re%ular practice" then it must be
assumed that the practitioner is dealin% .ith some
appreciable error in techni8ue or in the len%th of
performance.
The number of lapses that occur may be re%ulated by
body position durin% practice or by chan%in% the (ariation
used .hile performin% techni8ues.

Enterin% the phase .ith a free4floatin% state of mind
most often occurs as the result of three *ey factors. +irst" one
techni8ue or another may be%in to .or* .ell durin% a lapse.

itself throu%h sounds or (ibration after a lapse. Gurin% this"

Interesting Fact!
There is a theor) that there is no such
thing as a direct phase entrance method,
and that all direct methods are actuall) a
subcategor) of the indirect method. The
onl) difference would be that direct
techni/ues involve inducing micro2sleep,
which authenticall) mimics falling asleep,
creating a ph)siological state closer to
natural awakening, when it is eas) to enter
the phase.
'apses in consciousness are not bound to occur in #!!;
of cases. Bo.e(er" stri(in% to achie(e lapses plays a (ery
important role since they are not al.ays percei(able" and a
lapse occurrence is not al.ays ob(ious. They can be (ery
short in duration or shallo.. Or" they may not occur at all.
7onetheless" properly applied techni8ues to produce lapses
may %i(e entrance to the phase. This is especially true of the
deferred method for direct phase entrance. 0t is also .orth
notin% that lapses in consciousness can be so shallo. and
brief that a phaser may simply be unable to reco%ni,e them.

practically e(ery ne. practitioner ma*es this mista*e. Girect
techni8ues are often considered difficult due to this seemin%ly
inconse8uential and barely perceptible mista*e.
Interesting Fact!
#or most practitioners, a ke) piece of
advice is to let go of a burning desire to
enter the phase no matter what when using
the direct method.
ThatEs .hy there should be an element of inner stillness
and indifference to the end result before be%innin% an
attempt" let alone durin% it. Aou need to let %o of tryin% to

2ntil a practitioner learns to ha(e stillness in his
approach to direct phase entrance methods" he cannot hope
to obtain any real practical e1perience. 0n the best case" only
one attempt in fifty .ill result in the phase" e(en thou%h most
of his attempts could ha(e met .ith success. 0tEs enou%h to

The techni/ues for phase entrance via becoming
conscious while dreaming are based on reaching
consciousness and self2awareness during a dream, which,
regardless of dream /ualit), can be transitioned into a full)
realiCed phase e4perience. Contrary to popular opinion"
ha(in% an out4of4body e1perience throu%h dreamin% differs
little from other techni8ues. The outcome is still cate%ori,ed
as a dissociati(e e1perience: bein% fully conscious .hile
remo(ed from the perception of a physical body.
The realism of a phase induced throu%h becomin%
conscious in a dream does not differ from phases entered

more (i(id and lucid e1periences than those of e(eryday life.
0f a practitioner becomes a.are of a dream .hile in it
(usually accompanied by a clear reali,ation that it is 36ust a
dream5)" then the phase is e1perienced from that moment
for.ard.
Be%inners often confuse the notion of becomin%
conscious .hile dreamin% .ith induced dreamin%. Dn induced
dream is the dream of a specific topic" pro(o*ed on demandH
this does not presuppose consciousness. $oreo(er" not all
practitioners clearly understand .hat it means to be fully

Techni8ues for becomin% conscious in a dream differ

e4perience (OBE). Bo.e(er" their characteristics differ (ery
little in terms of results.
The techni8ue4related peculiarities rest in the fact that
specific actions are not re8uired to produce immediate"
concrete results. Dll techni8ue4related elements are
performed outside of .hen consciousness .hile dreamin%
occurs. This is because it is impossible to ta*e some action if

Interesting Fact!
&ven if a practitioner pa)s no heed to
the techni/ues for becoming conscious
while dreaming, but applies direct or

Re0e0beri+5 rea0,
There is a .ell4*no.n and .idespread of fallacy that
supposes that dreams do not occur for some people.
E(eryone dreams" but not e(eryone remembers their dreams.
E(en those .ho acti(ely dream remember only a small
fraction of these ni%htly e1cursions. Bence" one should not
thin* that it is impossible for someone .ho does not
remember dreams to become conscious in one. )uch a person
should simply try to use the techni8ues.
Dt the same time" there is a direct correlation bet.een
the number of dreams remembered and the probability of
becomin% conscious .hile dreamin%. That is .hy de(elopin%
the ability to remember dreams is crucial. 0n essence" the
ability to achie(e dream consciousness rests .ith the
conscious mind" .hich is (ery much interconnected .ith
memory4related processes.

By increasin% the fre8uency of remembered dreams"
short4term dream memory becomes more de(eloped" .hich
enables more realistic dream e1periences follo.ed by a hi%her
probability of dream consciousness.
There are three techni8ues dedicated to increasin% the
number of remembered dreams.
The first is to simply recall the details of dreams upon
a.a*enin%. @ithin the first fe. minutes of .a*in% up" try to
remember as many dreams from the ni%ht before as possible.
This should be done .ith a %reat amount of attention and
dili%ence because this e1ercise stren%thens the memory. 0f
possible" durin% the day" or" better yet" before %oin% to sleep
at ni%ht" recall the pre(ious ni%htJs dreams once a%ain as it is
hi%hly beneficial.
@ritin% dreams do.n in a special dream 6ournal is much
more effecti(e than simple recall. Record dreams in the
mornin% .hile memories are still fresh. The more details
recalled .hen recordin% the dream" the better the ultimate
results. This is a (ery attenti(e approach that demands a
hi%her a.areness than simple recollection. @ritin% dreams in
a 6ournal si%nificantly increases a.areness of actions and
aspirations.
Dnother .ay of rememberin% dreams is to create a map
of the dream .orld. This is called dream carto%raphy and is
similar to *eepin% a 6ournal" thou%h an enhanced le(el of
a.areness is de(eloped by connectin% dream episodes on a
map.
+irst" record one dream" describin% locations and e(ents"
.hich are plotted on the map. This carto%raphic process is
repeated .ith each subse8uent dream" and after se(eral
dreams an episode .ill occur that is someho. related to the
location of a dream that has already been recorded. The t.o

dreams .ill increase" and the dreamer .ill increase the ability
to achie(e consciousness .hile dreamin%.
0t is best to set remembered dreams to memory after
temporary a.a*enin%s (ersus .aitin% until mornin%. To
accomplish this" it helps to ha(e a pen and a piece of paper
nearby so that a practitioner may 8uic*ly 6ot do.n a phase or
se(eral *ey .ords from the plot of the dream before fallin%
bac* asleep. 2sin% this information" the ma6ority of dreams
are 8uic*ly and completely recalled.
The initial result from e1ercisin% these techni8ues is a

Of all non4autonomous assistance methods" cuein%

The ambition to create a de(ice that facilitates 8uic* and
easy phase entrance has led to the appearance of assorted
technolo%ies that claim to fulfill such a role. Ds already stated"
none of these de(ices has been pro(en effecti(e.
The most famous of these is the Bemi4)ync system"
.hich purports to synchroni,e the t.o hemispheres of the
brain. Bemi4)ync .as de(eloped by Robert $onroe" an
Dmerican esotericism e1pert and researcher. The idea behind
Bemi4)ync is that out4of4body sensations may be induced by
achie(in% synchroni,ation of the brainJs t.o hemispheres.
Bo.e(er" this type of approach yields a parado1 for the lac*
of scientific (or pseudo4scientific) e(idence that hemispheric
synchroni,ation influences sensory perception. Dctually" it is
the cerebral corte1 and constituents that are primarily
responsible for sensory perception. Dt the be%innin% of the
!th century" it became clear that the *ey roles in sensory
processes are played by (aryin% le(els of inhibition and
acti(ity in the cerebral corte1. )ynchroni,ation de(ices ha(e
no effect on the operation of the cerebral corte1.
The idea of usin% sounds of (arious fre8uencies to induce
a specific le(el of electrical acti(ity in the brain is" so far"
considered impossible. Thus" the sounds and noises used to
assist separation from the body cannot directly affect the
process" but merely ser(e as cuein% si%nals. )uch a system
.or*s only after ha(in% been used for a lon% time" if it .or*s
at all. $oreo(er" it mi%ht only .or* once or t.ice. 2sually" it
ne(er .or*s at all. 7e(ertheless" synchroni,ation systems are
able to help practitioners reach a free floatin% state of
consciousness since the systems pre(ent sleep or induce
.a*efulness" pro(idin% fertile %round for direct phase entry.
The idea of inducin% (arious phase states throu%h sound
has %ained .ide attention. $any other pro%rams and
technolo%ies ha(e appeared as a result" includin%" for
e1ample" the Brain @a(e Fenerator (B@F)" .hich allo.s the

practitioner to independently e1periment .ith a .ide array of
sounds and fre8uencies and (arious methods of transmission.
The effect is the same: cuein% durin% sleep or the
maintenance of a transitional state. Thus" there is no
noticeable difference bet.een usin% machines and listenin% to
similar sounds or musical compositions.
0nasmuch as the de(ices described abo(e ha(e not
deli(ered notable result" the search for ne. technolo%ies
continues unhindered. The number of ideas for e1ertin%
nonin(asi(e influence o(er the brain and its constituent parts
is increasin%. +or e1ample" there is a theory that phase
e1periences may be induced by electroma%netically
stimulatin% the left an%ular %yrus. Bo.e(er" this" li*e all other

5eepening refers to techni/ues that induce realistic
perception and awareness in the phase state.
The phase is not an e1act" fi1ed state .here a
practitioner is either present or not. 0t is a realm of states
characteri,ed by a transition from the usual perception of the
physical body to a complete alienation from it" .hile
maintainin% consciousness and reality of perception" albeit in
a different frame of space. The transition be%ins .ith
perception of the natural" physical body follo.ed by a
moment of ambi%uity .here a clear e1perience of body is
intermin%led .ith a sense of the percei(ed body. Dfter.ard"
the percei(ed body enters the phase space" .hile the physical
body becomes a memory. Dt this point" the percei(ed senses
may be 8uite dullH for e1ample" (ision may be blurred or
completely absent. Geepenin% techni8ues sol(e the problem
of diminished or absent sensory perception in the phase.
)ensory e1periences .ithin a fully reali,ed phase
e1perience are as realistic as those in e(eryday reality. 0n
almost one4half of all cases" practitioners obser(e that reality4

and color of the phase space. To this end" after enterin% the
phase" a practitioner must perform deepenin% techni8ues to
enhance and solidify the de%ree and 8uality of phase reality.
+ull spatial perception in the phase only occurs after
deepenin% techni8ues ha(e been applied. There .ould be no
point to remainin% in the phase .ithout deepenin%. +or
e1ample" .hat is the point in findin% a person in phase" if it is
not e(en possible to discern his or her eyes thereL
.n a considerable number of cases, deepening is not
necessar), since the phase e4perience is completel) realistic,
if not h)per2realistic. .n cases like these, deepening ma) be
b)passed.
Geepenin% is also related to the len%th of time a
practitioner may remain in the phase. 0f an action is ta*en
.ithout a deep" realistic phase" the e1perience .ill al.ays be
se(eral times shorter in duration than a phase .here
deepenin% techni8ues had been applied. The properties of the
phase space (ery much depend on its depth. @hen
surroundin%s are blurry and unclear" the stability of ob6ects is
(ery .ea*.
There is a direct correlation bet.een the realism of a
phase and a practitionerJs le(el of a.areness" so it is
e1tremely important to ensure a deep phase in order to
promote ma1imum a.areness.

The %oal of primary deepenin% is to achie(e complete
separation from the body" allo.in% further actions .ithin the
phase. &rimary deepenin% entails achie(in% t.o principal
ob6ecti(es: complete separation from the physical body and
anchorin% the percei(ed body .ithin the phase space.
@hen separation from the body occurs throu%h the use
of a separation techni8ue" a posture must be assumed that is
completely different from the posture of the real" physical
body. The %reater the de%ree of postural similarity bet.een
the physical and percei(ed bodies" the more shallo. and brief

The more a phase is e1perienced by the sensory
faculties" the deeper and lon%er the phase .ill be. )ensory
amplification in the phase is the most effecti(e deepenin%
techni8ue precisely because it allo.s the acti(ation of primary
internal sensations durin% the transition from reality to the
phase. There are se(eral .ays to perform sensory
amplification.
=alpation is the first deepenin% techni8ue that should be
recalled .hen enterin% the phase.
Vision may be absent at the be%innin% of a phase
e1perience" but the sensation of occupyin% a defined space is
almost al.ays present. 0n the case of a completely absent
sense of si%ht" only tactile4*inesthetic perception is possible.
That is" mo(ement throu%hout a space and touchin% ob6ects
there is the only option .hen (ision is absent. The sense of
touch plays a *ey role in the perception of e(eryday reality.
This is elo8uently demonstrated by &enfieldEs cortical
homunculus featurin% the parts of the body that correspond
(Table of Contents)
297
to cortices of the brain responsible for their operation. 0t
demonstrates ho. our actual self4perception is completely
disproportional to the si,e of parts of the body. Dccordin%ly" if
the sense of touch is acti(ely used in the phase space" it is
only natural that the phase .ill deepen and reach its
ma1imum potential.
&alpation is performed by fleetin%ly touchin% anythin%
that may be found in the immediate surroundin%s. This should
be done by 8uic*ly but carefully percei(in% the feel of
surfaces and shapes. Bands should not remain on a particular
place for more than one second" remainin% constantly in
motion to locate ne. ob6ects. The %oal of palpation is to touch
and also to learn somethin% about encountered ob6ects or
shapes. +or e1ample" if one feels a mu%" one may touch it not
only from the outside" but also from the inside. Once a
practitioner has rolled out of the body" the bed may be
touched" as .ell as the floor" the carpet" nearby .alls" or a
bedside table.
(Table of Contents)
298
Dnother palpation techni8ue is performed by rubbin% the
palms a%ainst each other as if tryin% to .arm them on a cold
day. Blo.in% on the palms also produces sensations that .ill
help deepen the phase. )ince tactile perception of the .orld is
not limited to the palms" the hands should be mo(ed o(er the
entire body .hile in the phase to e1cite and fully acti(ate the
sense of touch.
Ds soon as palpation be%ins" the feelin% that the phase is
deepenin% and becomin% fi1ed soon follo.s. 2sually" it ta*es
fi(e to #! seconds of palpation e1ercises to reach the
ma1imum le(el of deepenin%. Dfter performin% this techni8ue"
the pseudo4physical sensations .ill be indistin%uishable from
those of e(eryday reality. 0f (ision is absent on phase entry" it
8uic*ly emer%es durin% palpation.
=eering is the primary technical (ariation of sensory
amplification. Bo.e(er" it is not al.ays initially accessible
since it re8uires (ision" .hich may be%in as absent in the
phase. Once (ision appears or has been created usin% special
techni8ues (see Chapter >)" peerin% may be%in. The
effecti(eness of this techni8ue ori%inates in the fact that
(ision is the humanJs primary instrument of perception.
Therefore" by e1citin% (ision to its ma1imum potential .ithin
the phase" it is possible to attain a fully immersi(e phase
state that is completely apart from normal reality.
&eerin% should be done at a distance of four to si1 inches
from ob6ects .ithin the phase. D practitioner should %lance
o(er the minute details of ob6ects and surfaces to brin%
definition to the phase space .hile increasin% the 8uality of

area of an ob6ect for more than half a second. Dcti(e

body" .ith 6ust :4#! seconds of peerin% all of this .ill be %one
.ithout a trace. Dfter peerin%" (ision ad6usts as 8uic*ly and
clearly as if a camera lens .as correctly installed in front of
the eyes" capturin% the ima%e in the sharpest of focus.
Simultaneous peering and palpation pro(ide the
ma1imum possible deepenin% effect in the phase. This
method of sensory amplification en%a%es the t.o most
important perceptions" thus the effect is t.ice %reater than
.hen the t.o actions are separately performed. 0f (ision is
present in the phase" simultaneous peerin% and palpation is
an absolute necessity because it facilitates %ood phase depth
in the 8uic*est and simplest manner.
(Table of Contents)
300
The combination of palpation and peerin% must not only
be performed simultaneously" but also upon the same
ob6ects. +or e1ample" a practitioner may loo* at his hands
and simultaneously rub them a%ainst each otherH or .hile
loo*in% at a coffee mu%" all of its parts may be obser(ed and

dynamism of action" rememberin% that feelin%s should be
e1perienced not half4heartedly" and rememberin% that full
concentration on sensory amplification is an e1cellent means
to a deep" 8uality phase.
)ensory amplification comes intuiti(ely .hen you
remember a simple rule: if some sensations are lac*in% or if
one of the fi(e senses is dull and (a%ue" then that sense
needs to be hei%htened as much as possible usin% the phase

=hase maintenance or 6maintaining7 refers to techni/ues
that allow a practitioner to remain in the phase for the
ma4imum amount of time possible. @ithout *no.led%e of
3maintainin%5 techni8ues" the duration of the phase .ill be
se(eral times shorter than it could other.ise be. The shortest
phases last 6ust a fe. seconds. Be%innin% practitioners usually
fear not bein% able to e1it a phaseH this shouldnJt e(er be a
concern because the real challen%e is bein% able to maintain
the phase state" .hich is easily lost unless phase
maintenance techni8ues are used.

(Table of Contents)
307
&hase maintenance consists of three primary principles:
resistin% a return to the .a*eful state (*no.n as a foul)"
resistin% fallin% asleep" and resistin% a false e1it from the
phase.
Resistance to returnin% to the body is self4e1planatory"
.hereas resistance to fallin% asleep is unclear to many. 7ot
e(eryone *no.s that almost half of phase e1periences usually
end in a 8uite tri(ial .ay 4 fallin% asleep. D person usually
loses attenti(eness" his or her a.areness dissipates" and
e(erythin% around %radually loses clarity and turns into .hat
is for all intents and purposes a usual dream.
Resistin% a false e1it from the phase (false a.a*enin%s)
is a lot more surprisin% and dramatic. )ometimes a
practitioner detects an impendin% e1it from the phase and
subse8uent deepenin% techni8ues fail to .or*" resultin% in
.hat seems to be a return to the body and physical reality.
)ure that the phase has ended" a practitioner may stand up
and then fall asleep after percei(in% a fe. steps. 0n such
cases" fallin% asleep most often happens .ithout any
mo(ement" but .hile still lyin% in bed. The problem is that the
difference bet.een the phase and reality can be so subtle that
in terms of internal or e1ternal indicators" the phase
practically canJt be distin%uished from reality. Therefore" one
must *no. the necessary actions to ta*e in the e(ent that the
phase ceases" since the end of a phase could actually be a
tric* and purely ima%ined.
There are specific solutions for the three problems
described in addition to %eneral rules that apply to any phase
e1perience. )tudyin% these rules should be %i(en 6ust as hi%h
a priority as studyin% the specific solutions" since only some
of them" .hen applied separately" may help one to remain in
the phase se(eral times lon%er than usual.
0n some cases" techni8ues for maintainin% are not
applicable. Bo.e(er" *no.led%e of ho. to maintain is useful
for the ma6ority of e1periences. Dlso" there mi%ht be
situations .hen someone need only resist a foul" .hile
someone else may need to resist fallin% asleep. Dll of this is
(Table of Contents)
308
(ery specific to each case and can be determined only in
practice.
@ith perfect *no.led%e of all the techni8ues for
maintainin%" a phase may last t.o to four minutes" .hich
doesnJt sound li*e an e1tended duration" but really is. D
particularity of the phase space is that achie(in% somethin%
and mo(in% around in it ta*es a minimum amount of time"
mere seconds. Thus" so much can be done durin% : minutes
in the phase that one literally needs a list" so as not to .aste
any time.
There are theories that ha(e neither been pro(en nor

Of the follo.in% techni8ues" constant sensory

the most often .hile performin% phase maintenance.
Bo.e(er" unli*e .ith other technical elements of phase
e1ploration" secondary techni8ues of maintainin% often
become the most used and the most appropriate for certain
indi(iduals. Thus" all the techni8ues should be studied" but

The same sensory amplification described in the chapter

should not stop to acti(ely a%itate his or her perception" but
should *eep on doin% this all the .hile" albeit not as acti(ely
as durin% deepenin%.
The idea is that durin% the entire duration of the phase"
all action should be focused on e1periencin% the ma1imum
possible amount of tactile4*inesthetic and (isual perceptions.
This entails constantly touchin% and e1aminin% e(erythin% in
minute detail. +or e1ample" if passin% by a boo*case" touch
and e1amine some of the boo*s in it" includin% their pa%es
and corners. Tactile obser(ation should be performed on

&alpation may be applied separately as a bac*%round
sensation. This is done in order not to o(erload the sense of

Au2iliary Tech+i4ue,
There are a (ariety of other procedures to test for the
occurrence of a foul. Bo.e(er" since any situation" any
8uality" or any function can be simulated in the phase" these
procedures are not al.ays applicable. +or e1ample" some

su%%estion is that the la.s of the physical .orld may be

&roblems .ith phase identification durin% entry often
arise at the initial sta%es of studyin% the phase. D practitioner
simply cannot understand .hether or not he or she is already

or .hile practicin% in other postures.
0f a practitioner is simply lyin% do.n" physically
percei(in% his o.n body" and doin% nothin%" then it is indeed
difficult to determine .hether or not he is present in the
phase. 0t is sufficient to note that there mi%ht be no si%ns of a
phase state. On the contrary" there may be a host of si%ns
and unusual sensations" but they by no means necessarily
indicate the onset of the phase.
The problem of the uncertainty of a phase state is
al.ays sol(ed throu%h actions. 0f the practitioner is lyin%
do.n" then standard separation techni8ues may produce
indication of phase achie(ement 4 in the ma6ority of cases K
since such techni8ues may often be incorrectly performed.
0t is possible to perform techni8ues that are only
achie(able in the phase state. 0f a practitioner stands up and
does not reco%ni,e his surroundin%s" then it can be assumed
that the practitioner is standin% up in the phase. Bo.e(er"
often based on the obser(ation that 3e(erythin% is as in

is in fact 3as in reality5 simply because the practitioner is still

F!G'T!(G FEAR
+ear in the phase is a (ery common occurrence. The
practitioner may e1perience fear at any sta%e" althou%h it is
e1pressed much more clearly durin% initial practice. The
causes of fear are (ery di(erse: a feelin% that returnin% to the
body is impossibleH a fear of deathH .orryin% that somethin%

scary and terrible in the phaseH painful sensationsH o(erly

e1plained or controlled.
+or a no(ice stric*en by insurmountable fear that causes
paralysis" there is only one .ay to %radually o(ercome it.
Each time a no(ice enters the phase" an attempt should be
made to %o a step further than the pre(ious time. +or
e1ample" in spite of feelin% terrified" the practitioner should
try to raise the hands and then mo(e them bac* to the initial
position. The second time" the practitioner should attempt to
sit do.n. The third time" standin% up should be attempted.
The fourth time" .al*in% around in the phase is ad(ised.
Then" after incremental steps to.ard e1periencin% the

Interesting Fact!
#ear itself can be used to enter the
phase and remain there for a long time.

the practitioner.

ob6ects beha(in% a%%ressi(ely to.ards practitioners" as many
are concerned about this issue. Bo.e(er" one fact that says a
lot should be considered immediately: these types of issues
usually concern or are encountered by the esoterically4
minded" or those .ho ha(e read much eclectic literature on
the sub6ect of phase states. )uch issues are rare amon% those
.ith a materialist outloo*.
Bere" phase ob6ects are pro(o*ed to react ad(ersely by
incorrect beha(ior on the part of practitioners. 0tEs enou%h to
note that many authors .ritin% on the phase de(ote up to half
of their boo*s to the sub6ect of protection from such attac*s.
Of course" a ne%ati(e e1perience is sure to follo. a close
readin% of such material. $oreo(er" the ne%ati(e e1perience
.ould occur .ithout ade8uate understandin% of the
occurrence 4 and such understandin% .hich .ould other.ise

The first thin% to *no. in this re%ard is: no thin% and no
person in the phase presents any real threat. The practitioner
himself is able to control e(erythin% that occurs. ThatEs .hy
thereEs no point in fearin% anybody or anythin% in the phase"
no matter ho. threatenin% they may seem or .hat someone
may ha(e said or .ritten about it.
The second thin% to *no. is: the only thin% that can and
does attac* is the practitionerEs o.n fear" be it conscious or
unconscious fear. The properties of the phase space are such
that a no(iceEs inability to control the process .ill lead to his

of the phase space. Thus" attac*s are a rarity. Dnd e(en if

D more comple1 problem is o(ercomin% the

many cases" the speech of an ob6ect is bloc*ed by the internal
stress of the practitioner. )ometimes the problem stems from
an e1pectation that an ob6ect .ill not be able to communicate

The realism of the phase space does not impose limits

BAS!3 PROPERT% OF T'E P'ASE SPA3E
Dll methods for controllin% the phase space stem from a
primary la.: the de%ree of chan%eability of the phase space is
in(ersely proportionate to the depth of the phase and the
stability of its ob6ects. That is" the deeper and more stable the
phase" the more difficult it is to perform somethin% unusual in
it because in a deep" stable phase" the la.s of it be%in to
closely resemble those of the physical .orld.
(Table of Contents)
349
Dll translocation and findin% ob6ects techni8ues are
based on *no.led%e of methods that e1ploit this primary la..
The secret lies in the fact that not only phase depth affects
the controllability of the phase" but so does phase stability"
.hich in turn depends to a lar%e e1tent on the number of
sensations e1perienced in the phase. The techni8ues for
translocation and findin% ob6ects are used .hen these
e1perienced sensations are .ea*ened throu%h certain actions.
0n other .ords" if a practitioner located in the phase
holds a red pencil and e1amines it" tactile and (isual
perceptions are en%a%ed" .hich under sharp a%itation cause
the ob6ect to e1ist in its complete form. Bo.e(er" as soon as
the eyes are shut" the stability of pencil ima%e .ea*ens. 0n
this situation" it .ill be enou%h for the practitioner (after
sufficient trainin%) to concentrate on belie(in% that the pencil
is dar*4blue in order for it to appear dar* blue after openin%
the eyes. This phenomenon occurs because the color of the
pencil is no lon%er determined by perceptual areas of the
brain and" therefore" it is possible to chan%e it.

350
0f a red pencil is placed on a table and the practitionerJs
eyes are shut" and there is concentration on a thou%ht that
the pencil is no lon%er on the table" then after openin% the

0n essence" .hen the pencil is lyin% on the table and the

Interesting Fact!
After having changed place of
residence, the practitioner will ver) often
continue for some time to separate from the
bod) in the same house where he was used

D dra.bac* of this techni8ue is that separation occurs

can only be used once. Other options should be considered

This techni8ue is difficult because it re8uires an unstable
phase space caused by a stron% desire to translocate to
another location. @hereas durin% teleportation by fli%ht .ith

current location" that is not the case here. Therefore" this
techni8ue should be used only by e1perienced practitioners
.ho are confident that they are capable of remainin% in the
phase.
Ds far as implementin% the techni8ue is concerned" the
practitioner simply needs to stop and concentrate on the
thou%ht that he is already present in the desired location and
focus on its ima%e. 0t is important to not stare at or touch
anythin% durin% the thou%ht. )urroundin% space .ill dim" blur

completely disen%a%in% a perception of the space. The
practitioner must %i(e stron% attention to a thou%ht that a
re8uired ob6ect is %oin% to appear in a desired location. There
must be sufficient confidence that the practitionerJs desires
.ill be reali,ed. Dt this moment" the process of
metamorphosis .ill be%in: space .ill distort and dim" and the
re8uired ob6ect .ill be%in to manifest itself. Dfter this"
bri%htness and focus .ill be restored .ith necessary
alterations made present in the phase space.
This techni8ue is relati(ely difficult to perform in
comparison to others" and" therefore" it is better to use it only
after a hi%h le(el of e1perience has been reached" as it is
difficult to remain in the phase durin% any metamorphic
process.
Ds is e(ident in the name of this techni8ue" it can be
used to find ob6ects and also create ne. ob6ects from found
ob6ects.

The primary purpose of this chapter is to precisely separate
reality from fiction. 0ts second purpose is to pro(ide a detailed
description of .hat may be obtained from the practice of
phase e1periences.
E(ery pro(en and accessible practical application of the
phase is based on three 8ualities: a) application founded on
the phaseJs ability to simulate any ob6ect and any space .ith
any properties and functionsH b) application based on the
opportunity to connect .ith the subconscious mind in order to
obtain informationH c) application based on the phaseJs ability
to impact a practitionerJs physiolo%y.

these are still un*no.n. Only the practitioner may determine
the limits of possibility .ithin the phase. Of course" common
sense should be applied 4 other.ise" it .ould be lo%ically and
psycholo%ically difficult to disen%a%e misconceptions. The
goal of this book is to provide a real (though minimal
foundation that is firm and un)ielding, whatever the
circumstance. .f the practitioner follows a strict approach to
practice, it will be much more difficult to become lost during

0t is possible that the phase space is %o(erned by the
subconscious mind. This means that the practitioner is able to
contact the subconscious .hile in the phase state. Gurin%
e(eryday life" the subconscious mind sends information based
on calculations determined by enormous capabilities.
Bo.e(er" humans neither hear nor percei(e these si%nals
because people are accustomed to recei(in% information
lin%uistically. The subconscious mind hardly operates .ithin
the limitations of lan%ua%e. Communication .ith the
subconscious mind on a conscious le(el is only possible .ithin

Dn e1planation of ho. information is obtained in the
phase can hardly be une8ui(ocally pro(en. &erhaps there are
other undisco(ered resources. But that is not so important.
The most important thin% is definitely *no.n: ho. to obtain
information in the phase.
The al%orithm for obtainin% information from the phase
is not comple1. Dfter enterin% the phase" only the techni8ues
for obtainin% information and the methods of (erifyin% it need
to be learned in order to increase the amount of *no.led%e
%leaned from the phase.
Based on the pra%matic e1planation of the nature of the
phase as an unusual state of brain controlled by the
subconscious" it may be assumed that the amount of
information obtained in the phase is limited. 0f the phase
e1ists .ithin the confines of the brain" then the brain can only
operate on data that has been recei(ed by it since birth.
0ndeed" it appears that e(erythin% percei(ed throu%h the
sensory or%ans is remembered and correlated .ith other
data. This is true not only of the perceptions .e are a.are of"
.hich comprise only a small fraction of total sensory input"
but also the enormous (olumes of information re%istered at
the subconscious le(el.
0f any e(ent is actually a conse8uence of other e(ents"
.hich .ere" in turn" also conse8uences of pre(ious
happenin%s" then nothin% occurs by chance. The initial data is
*no.n 4 therefore it is possible to calculate .hat is implied by
it.
Ds a result" if e(erythin% is based solely on the resource
of the subconscious mind" then information may be obtained
about e(erythin% that is related to an indi(idual life: the
practitionerJs e1periences and the e1periences of those .ith
.hom the practitioner e1periences life. Both our o.n future
and past" and the future and past of others can be fi%ured
out. Dll in all" in order to approach *no.in% the .hole of the
information a(ailable in the phase" personal *no.led%e
capacity .ould need to increase by #!! or e(en #"!!! times.
(Table of Contents)
369
The only information that is not a(ailable in the phase is
that about .hich the subconscious mind does not ha(e any
preliminary information. +or e1ample" .here to purchase a
.innin% lottery tic*et that .ill .in millions of dollars cannot
be learned since there is no data that could support the
necessary calculation. The subconscious mind .ill also not be
able to sho. the practitioner .hat a random street in a small
to.n on the other end of the Earth loo*s li*e. D practitioner
should not try %uessin% .hat information the subconscious
mind has to offer and .hat it doesnJt because mista*es are
easily made. +or e1ample" if a practitioner has ne(er been to
&aris and ne(er seen the Eiffel To.er" it mi%ht be assumed
that the practitionerJs subconscious mind *no.s nothin%
about it either. Bo.e(er" o(er the course of his life" his mind
has already recei(ed an enormous 8uantity of information
about it from pictures" photo%raphs" stories" (ideos" boo*s"
and so forth.
There are three basic techni8ues for obtainin%
information in the phase. Each of them has its ad(anta%es
and disad(anta%es that must be studied and learned before
use.
A+i0ate ObNect, Tech+i4ue
To perform this method of obtainin% information" the
practitioner" in a full deep phase" must locate a person by
techni8ues for findin% ob6ects and procure the necessary
information from that person throu%h the use of simple
8uestions. 0f the re8uired information is lin*ed to a certain
person" then that person should be located in the phase. 0f
the information is not related to anyone in particular" then it
is possible to create a uni(ersal information source" .hich
must be associated .ith .isdom and *no.led%e. +or
e1ample" this could be a .ise recluse" a .ell4*no.n
philosopher" or a %uru.
The ad(anta%e of this techni8ue is that it is easy to pose
additional 8uestions and it is also easier to (erify .hate(er
information is obtained. D dra.bac* of this techni8ue is that"
(Table of Contents)
370
for many" it is difficult to communicate .ith li(in% ob6ects in
the phase because of an ob6ectJs unresponsi(eness or a
practitionerJs problems .ith maintainin% the phase .hile
tal*in% .ith ob6ects.
!+a+i0ate ObNect, Tech+i4ue
2se techni8ues for findin% ob6ects in order to locate
information from sources li*e inscriptions" boo*s" or
ne.spapers. @hile tryin% to locate the source of information"
remember to concentrate on a belief that .hat is found .ill
ha(e the desired information. )ource types are not limited to
paper mediaH e(en radios or tele(isions may be .atched or
listened to" and computer search en%ines and file systems
also may produce results.
D hu%e dra.bac* of this techni8ue is that considerable
complications arise if an additional or a follo.4up 8uestion
emer%es" .hich may cause the practitioner to ha(e to stop
and repeat the searchin% process.
The upside to this techni8ue is that if a practitioner has
problems communicatin% .ith animate ob6ects" this techni8ue
can temporarily ser(e as a reasonable alternati(e.
E1i,ode Tech+i4ue
0n order to recei(e information usin% this method"
ima%ine an e(ent or series of e(ents that .ill communicate
the desired information. Then" mo(e to the area .here
predetermined e(ents are e1pected to ta*e place by usin%
translocation techni8ues. Dfter arri(in% at the destination" use
(isual obser(ation to understand .hat is ta*in% place and the
information that the e(ents are communicatin%. The episode
techni8ue is suitable only for cases .here information can be
obtained by obser(ation.

Gow to verif) the informationN The techni8ues for
recei(in% information in the phase are not comple1 and pro(e
successful after 6ust a fe. attempts. Bo.e(er" as .as already
mentioned earlier" the properties of phase spaces that do not
(Table of Contents)
371
fall under the cate%ory of (i(id perception are not particularly
stable 4 not only in terms of appearance" but also in terms of
their properties. Correctness of information also depends on
the ob6ects themsel(es. The problem rests in that the
practitioner may not be able to properly control the ob6ect in
8uestion and may recei(e false information.
Interesting Fact!
The phase space is not ever)da)
realit)H therefore, it should not be treated
with the normal belief that ever)
observation should be regarded as fact.
E(en .hen a practitioner has learned to find animate
and inanimate ob6ects .ith an absence of doubt" there is still
no %uarantee that the recei(ed information is al.ays
accurate. D fe. techni8ue4related tric*s are able to test an
ob6ectJs ability to spea* the truth.
+or e1ample" an ob6ect can tal* about somethin% .ith
absolute confidence" but that does not mean that .hat it
communicates is all true. 0f doubt is e1perienced .hile findin%
the ob6ect" then doubt may ha(e an effect on .hat the ob6ect
says. This is .hy doubt must be a(oided at all costs 4
althou%h be%inners are bound to initially ha(e problems .ith
this.
To determine .hether an ob6ect is able to %i(e accurate
information" a control /uestion should be as*ed. 0t essentially
consists of as*in% some (ery simple 8uestions and obser(in%
the ob6ectEs reaction. +or e1ample: CBo. much is t.o times
t.oLC" C@hatEs my nameLC" CBo. old am 0LC" and C@here do 0
li(eLC" and so on. 0f the ob6ect is unable to ans.er e(en such
simple 8uestions correctly" then there is no sense in tryin% to
obtain further information from it. The practitioner must ha(e
made committed some errors .hen creatin% the ob6ect. D
proper ob6ect .ill remain silent or say that it does not *no.
the ans.er to the control 8uestion.
(Table of Contents)
372
Dfter any information is obtained" it must be confirmed.
This is done by means of a clarif)ing /uestion. The
practitioner needs to as* the ob6ect .here the information
came from to find out the details that offer proof of the
informationJs authenticity in the real .orld. The ob6ect may
also be as*ed the same 8uestions more than once" pro(ided
they are re.orded. The ans.ers to re.orded 8uestions must
be identical.
Remember" the more important the nature of the
information and the more serious action it implies" the more
effort needs to be in(ested in (erifyin% it in the real .orld
since a certain percenta%e of the information is bound to be
incorrect despite correct performance of information4related
techni8ues.
Dpproachin% the obtainment of information .ith as
simple 8uestions as possible is also e1tremely important. The
simpler the information that needs to be found out" the
better. Ds soon as a phaser becomes able to do this in his
practice" he can mo(e on to more difficult and more important
tas*s. ThereEs no sense in be%innin% such e1periments .ith
somethin% incredibly difficult. 0f a practitioner is unable to
count ho. many pairs of shoes there are in his foyer" then
heEll hardly be able to find out ho. to become a millionaire.
0n addition to e(erythin% else" itEs important to consider
ho. specific the needed information is. &ractitioners 8uite
often see* ans.ers to totally (a%ue or abstract 8uestions
.hile in the phase" .hich leads to a lac* of success. The more
specific the 8uestion" the %reater the odds of obtainin% an
ans.er to it. +or e1ample" it hardly ma*es sense to e1pect a
specific and clear ans.er to a (a%ue and all4encompassin%
8uestion li*e" C.hat a.aits me in the futureLC 0tEs many times
better to as* a 8uestion re%ardin% ho. to achie(e some

The ability to obtain undistorted information from the
phase is considered to be a masterful s*ill of nearly the
hi%hest order. )o .here do problems occurL Ds has already
been noted" obtainin% information is not anythin% difficult
from a technical point of (ie. 4 it suffices to %et into the
phase and find somethin% out from ob6ects or the phase
space. &roblems occur on a completely different plane" one
that is much more difficult for people to control 4 the plane of
thou%ht" mood" and belief 4 both the superficial and deep4
founded (ariety.
One of the most e1citin% and interestin% tas*s of
on%oin% modern research is the study of ho. the phase
space" its properties" and functions depend on the internal
mental bac*%round of the practitioner. This tas* is made
particularly clear by the follo.in% e1ample. This e1ample .ill
assume that the phase space is controlled by the
subconscious mind. 0t .ill also assume that a practitioner has
%otten into the phase usin% an indirect techni8ue and has
rolled out of his body .hile in his bedroom. 0t turns out that
the subconscious .as able to %enerate the entire room alon%
.ith millions of minute details .ith e1act precision in a matter
of seconds" perhaps in a mere fraction of a second.
2nima%inable is the amount of computation that had to occur
in order to so 8uic*ly %enerate e(erythin%" up to e(ery thread
in the curtains and e(ery dot of in* on the .allpaper" .ithout
(iolatin% any la.s of physics. 0tEs difficult to e(en fathom.
7e1t" the practitioner decides to perform a .ell4*no.n test
.ith a calculator. To this end" he needs to find that
computational tool and punch in the numbers to be crunched.
Be .ill then (erify the calculatorEs ans.er in the real .orld.
Dnd so" he uses the techni8ue of findin% and finds a
calculator. Be finds the real thin%" and not 6ust a mere
representation of it. This ob6ect" despite its si,e" is 8uite
complicated 4 yet the phase creates it .ith sin%ular accuracy
and precision. Dll of its lines" buttons" and cur(es are
%enerated 4 all much more accurately than could e(er be
dra.n. $oreo(er" this calculator can e(en be ta*en apart" and
(Table of Contents)
374
its internal components may be e1amined. E(erythin% here is
%enerated in only an instant.
But then the trouble starts. The practitioner multiplies
by and %ets some odd result" e.%.: D&:49B" 9LeE=4!4=...
etc. That is" the result is anythin% but the correct product.
D parado1ical situation no. arises: the subconscious
mind %enerates a space around the practitioner" accurate to
an impossible de%ree and up to the minutest detail. Bo.e(er"
this (ery same subconscious mind is unable to multiply simple
numbers to%ether" a simple math problem that the
practitioner himself can sol(e .ithin a second. GoesnEt this
situation seem stran%eL Dctually" not at all. The phase space
and its computin% resources are not at issue here. +or the
phase" this calculation is not difficult at all. This is really a
mere trifle for the resource that the practitioner has at his
disposal" e(en if he himself has difficulties .ith multiplication
tables.
The cru1 of the problem lies in the mind of the
practitioner .hen he is performin% this %i(en test. Be may
simply lac* confidence (and this doubt .ill be reflected in the
result). 0n addition" there may be a mass of other thou%hts
and feelin%s %oin% throu%h his head" .hich may brin% all of
his efforts to nau%ht. +or some reason" it sometimes seems
that a similar phenomenon pertains not only to the phase" but
also to the e(eryday physical .orld...
D 8uite similar situation arises .ith the techni8ue of
translocation in the phase .ith eyes closed. 0t is enou%h to
thin* of somethin% e1traneous" enou%h to ha(e some doubt in
the outcome of the fli%ht" and that fli%ht .ill then ta*e much
lon%er" or e(en e6ect one into a different place" or simply
return one bac* to the physical body. The (ery same
mechanisms and systems are at play .hen obtainin%
information. @hile .ith teleportation itEs enou%h to
translocate se(eral times in order to understand the essence
the ans.er sou%ht" or to feel it" more protracted problems
may de(elop .ith obtainin% information.

One of the pro(en properties of the phase state is that
its stability and steadiness are directly proportional to those
of the person e1periencin% the sensations it offers. +or this
reason" the e1ternal characteristics of ob6ects tend to be (ery
stable and unchan%in%. +or e1ample" one cannot put oneEs
arm throu%h a .all .hen in a deep phase. But at the same
time" the properties and in(isible functions of those same
ob6ects can be (ery unstable and sensiti(e to any mental
disturbance. That is .hy it is difficult to instantly e(aporate
.ater or turn it into blue bric* .hile in the phase" but .ater
can easily be turned into (od*a 4 a transubstantiation
accompanied by chan%e not only in taste and smell" but e(en
in properties .hich affect the mind of a person .ho drin*s it.
Dfter all" .ater and (od*a ha(e the same out.ard
appearance" but only differ in terms of properties. Dnd 6ust as
.ell" an ob6ect created in the phase for the purpose of
obtainin% information is e1tremely dependent on the internal
state of the practitioner. D polluted mind muffles 6ust .hat
the practitioner .ants to learn" and bloc*s .hat phase ob6ects
could easily con(ey to him.
+or that (ery reason" a practitioner desirin% to obtain
information in the phase should remember one important
thin%: one must be not only e1ternally" but also internally as
indifferent as possible to the information one obtains. 0n
parallel .ith this" it is necessary to ha(e full and complete
confidence that e(erythin% .ill .or*. Other.ise" the ob6ect
.ill (acillate bet.een .hat one .ants to hear and .hat one is
afraid to hear" instead of a simple transmission of information
occurrin%. This problem is o(ercome in lar%e measure throu%h
practice" but there are some tric*s that facilitate this tas*.
The simplest of these is as follo.s: the practitioner as*s the
ob6ect his 8uestion neither point4blan* nor ri%ht a.ay" but
une1pectedly durin% con(ersation on a side topic. This
approach simply allo.s the practitioner to rela1 and remain
indifferent to .hat is happenin%" if at least for a short .hile.

)urely" any creati(e person readin% this te1tboo* has
had ideas occur more than once re%ardin% the broad
possibilities of usin% this phenomenon for artistic and cultural
purposes. Dnd indeed" it is difficult to ima%ine any limitations
in this field. 0n addition to there bein% no boundaries from a
technical standpoint" there are also no limits re%ardin% the
type of creati(e output. The artist" the musician" the sculptor"
and the desi%ner .ill all be able to apply the practice of the
phase to their purposes. The e1periences offered by the
practice of the phase are sufficient in and of themsel(es. They
indeed allo. one to %ain access to the %ushin% fountain of
inspiration that is the human ima%ination.
'reating works of art? 2sin% the methods of ob6ect findin%
or translocation" an artistic practitioner can purposefully
see* an ob6ect in the phase that may be composed in real
life. 0f necessary" it is possible to easily return to study an
ob6ect in the phase. +or e1ample" a painter may find a
stunnin% landscape and put it to can(as in the real .orld
.hile periodically returnin% to the same landscape in the
phase.
9iewing future completed works of art? 0f an artist is in the
process of reali,in% an idea" then a preliminarily loo* at
the end result of a desi%n may be seen in the phase. D
painter can e1amine a paintin% in ad(anceH a sculptor may
see a completed sculpture" and an architect .ill be able to
.ander throu%h a house that is still in the early sta%es of
desi%n. Dny creati(e .or* can be simulated in the phase.
A source of inspiration and fantas)? The phase practice
imparts ideas and desires that positi(ely affect creati(e
endea(ors. +urthermore" the reali,ation of desires and
tra(els throu%h unusual spaces e(o*e %reat emotions"
.hich pro(ide e1cellent inspiration.

377
The idea of employin% the phase to model creati(e
output is ob(ious" as absolutely e(erythin% may be created in
this state. The artist may create a landscape that he is only
6ust preparin% to paint" or has already partially s*etched out.
This %i(es him an opportunity to assess the result in ad(ance"
and introduce any chan%es as necessary. Or he may re(ie.
all of the landscapes that he intends to paint" and then choose
the most promisin% one to start .or* on. Or" he can
simultaneously e1amine all the landscapes that he has e(er
seen" as the phase space easily reproduces them for him in
fine detail.
This possibility offered by the phase is 8uite useful for
the musician" as it allo.s him to create musical scores of any
comple1ity" includin% those ma*in% use of an orchestra or
chorus" .hose members can led be easily and freely" .ithout
.orryin% about ho. difficult it is to do this or that" and
.ithout ha(in% to a(oid o(er4strainin% those musicians .ho
must comply to his e(ery demand. Dlso" he does not ha(e to
.orry about .hether the orchestra" for e1ample" .ill able to
immediately play the notes 6ust as he .ants" because the
output .ill al.ays comply .ith his .ishes. 7aturally" to this
end the student must first master ho. to control the phase"
but is that really an obstacleL
D sculptor or an architect can easily create anythin% in
the phase and re(ie. it in e(ery detail" and thus ha(e an
ad(ance opportunity to unco(er any .ea* aspects of his
desi%n. ThereEs no point in describin% ho. artists of e(ery
medium can ma*e use of the properties of the phase" because
such people can fi%ure out those uses for themsel(es.
2ndoubtedly" an artist .or*in% in any medium can find
somethin% there for himself.
0t must also be emphasi,ed that .or*s of art created in
the phase state .onEt disappear any.here. That is" there is
no need to .orry about recastin% .or*s of art already created
in pre(ious phase e1periences. They are preser(ed there
fore(er" and can al.ays be found there a%ain. 0n other .ords"
any and all information can be stored .ith perfect fidelity.

The only thin% a creati(e person may ha(e to .orry
about is ho." in the real .orld" to reproduce those .onderful
masterpieces that he creates so easily in the phase. The fact
is that the phase space is much more po.erful than our
.a*in% conscious a.areness 4 that is" our capabilities are
much reduced durin% .a*in% life. Bo.e(er" there .ill al.ays
be a chance to %o bac* into the phase and .or* out the
details. 0n essence" e(erythin% is limited only by our primiti(e
memory" .hich is often unable to recall such lar%e amounts of
information durin% .a*in% life.
SPORTS
0n many spheres of human acti(ity" s*ill at comple1
physical mo(ements is 8uite important 4 sometimes
e(erythin% can depend on it. $ean.hile" motor s*ills are the
most important factor in the ma6ority of sports" from martial
arts of any *ind to fencin%" %ymnastics" .ei%htliftin%" fi%ure
s*atin%" and so on. 0n many .ays" playin% these sports
depends on learnin% to perform certain mo(es automatically.
Dnd so" %ymnasts perform somersaults or some other feat
do,ens of times o(er the course of a trainin% session" and
bo1ers de(ote half of their .or*outs for months on end to
practicin% one and the same punch.
+or such people" there is one additional type of
mo(ement trainin% that may be performed in the phase. The
potential for such trainin% in the phase may not initially be
ob(ious" but mo(ement in the phase sets off the same brain
acti(ity as it does in .a*efulness" only ner(e impulses are not
sent to the muscles. Dccordin%ly" any mo(ement that has
been .ell practiced in the phase .ill remain almost e8ually
.ell practiced in the real .orld. This phenomenon allo.s the
trainin% routine to be supplemented" or e(en substituted
.hen in6ured or unable to train for any reason.

Of course" one .ill ne(er become an Olympic champion
by trainin% e1clusi(ely in the phase" but doin% so is still
e1tremely effecti(e.
0t turns out that practitioners of East Dsian martial arts
are especially dra.n to the phase. Thus" many *arate
enthusiasts either perfect techni8ues .hile in the phase" or
simulate %oin% up a%ainst stron%er ri(als. E(en more
interestin%ly" some find .orld4reno.ned masters for personal
instruction. Especially popular phase trainers are )te(en
)ea%al" Iac*ie Chan and" of course" Bruce 'ee.
)port in the phase can be combined .ith the techni8ue
for obtainin% information" .hich is described in this boo*. The
student can use that (ery techni8ue to find out e1actly ho. to
train" and .hich technolo%ies and opportunities can be ta*en
ad(anta%e of in order to impro(e and become more successful
at a %i(en sport. This assumes" of course" that the student
plays sports" somethin% al.ays recommended.
T'E P'ASE - A( A#TER(AT!$E TO (AR3OT!3S
@hen in search of ne. sensations and addin% color to
life" a practitioner can fully counter any inclination to ta*e
narcotic substances. The phase is essentially an independent
and safe .ay to ha(e far more po.erful e1periences than
could be had usin% any narcotic. The same may also partially
apply to alcohol" as interest in it mi%ht be dislod%ed by self4
de(elopment throu%h the phase.
The opportunity to use narcotics .hile in the phase and
ha(e the same sensations and e1periences mi%ht also ser(e
as a .ay %et out of a dru% habit in real life.
E(en more pressin% is the need for the phase to ma*e
inroads into mystical schools .hose practices are often much
based on (arious herbal or chemical substances. &eople often
do not scorn controlled substances in the pursuit of Cpersonal
de(elopmentC" CspiritsC" or C%ettin% in touch .ith their hi%her

380
sel(esC. Bo.e(er" this is nearly al.ays due to the simple
reason that such people are simply una.are of the e1istence
of other methods for e1periencin% a profoundly altered state
of consciousness. Tal* .ith any mystic burned4out by the use
of (arious po.ders" tablets" %rasses" cacti" or mushrooms"
and theyEll freely admit that they .ould ne(er ha(e
underta*en such e1perimentation if they had *no.n that
there are simple and easily4accessible phase entrance
techni8ues.
&eople ha(e %ro.n accustomed to the belief that ancient
shamans and $a%i *ne. somethin% special and that their
techni8ues .ere 8uite ad(anced. Bo.e(er" in nearly e(ery
culture they manifested their abilities nearly e1clusi(ely
than*s to the use of (arious stimulants. They .ere essentially
al.ays ta*in% the easy route of de%radation" interpretin%
narcotic4fueled hallucinations instead of the pursuin% the *ind
of personal de(elopment that modern people stri(e for.
2nfortunately" lac* of .idespread *no.led%e re%ardin%
indirect techni8ues for enterin% phase states has led to a
situation .here a mar*et has formed in the @est for chemical
substances for the practicin% the phase. E(en thou%h success
is %uaranteed ?!; of the time .hen correctly performin%
indirect techni8ues" people are indoctrinated to belie(e that
e1periences are not a matter of techni8ue or method" but
rather of the presence or absence of some substance or
another in the body. Ds a result" purely psycholo%ical
dependence on the use of such substances de(elops" and
pro%ress usin% techni8ues to enter the phase is stunted.
There canEt be any tal* of a real practice at an ad(anced le(el
.hen any au1iliary substances are bein% used. The most
important characteristic of the phase is the fact that it can be
achie(ed independently.
&(PRO$E( EFFE3TS

&eople often approach the practice of (arious phase
states .ith deep4rooted misconceptions about .hat can

section refers to these misconceptions. 0t has not been
pro(en that any of these thin%s is impossibleH ho.e(er"
actions should be based on pro(en and (erified methods in
order to a(oid ma*in% mista*es and .astin% time.
=h)sical e4it? 0f the first e1perience .ith the phase
phenomenon happens by accident" it is almost impossible not
to interpret it as a real separation of the soul from the body K
a physical e1it. This is ho. the initial phase e1perience really
feels. @ith e1perience it becomes easily noticeable that
certain thin%s in reality do not match thin%s in the phase" li*e
the placement of ob6ects or furniture in the house .here a
phase is first encountered.
7o actual physical e1it from the body has e(er been
pro(en throu%h scientific e1perimentation and obser(ation.
+or e1ample" in the phase" it is not possible to fly around to
locations in physical .orld" althou%h it may seem soH the
locations that are e1perienced are produced .ithin the mind.
7or is it possible to pinch someone in the phase and then to
find a bruise on the person .hile in reality.
$ther worlds? The phase space is similar to the physical
.orld" and a practitioner may be inclined to thin* that the
soul has left the body. )ometimes the phase ta*es on an
absolutely unnatural form. Ds a result" the practitioner may
decide that a parallel .orld has been entered: the .orld
beyond" the astral plane" mental space" or the ether.
Dlthou%h tra(el in the phase can lead to many places" this
does not mean that the phase allo.s tra(el throu%h or use of
actual" alternate .orlds. The practitioner should be
reasonable.
5evelopment of super2abilities? 0t is partially correct to
consider the practice of the phase as an e1trasensory ability
since it is an actual de(elopment of e1tremely unusual s*ills
that ha(e al.ays been considered mystical. Times ha(e

chan%ed" and the phase should hardly be shuttled off to the
esoteric" obscure corners of *no.led%e.
There e1ists an unpro(en theory that the practice of the
phase can impart unusual abilities. @hile literature is full of
references to this effect" these abilities ha(e not yet been
pro(en by anyone. The same applies to intentionally
de(elopin% unusual abilities in the phase. Aes" these may be
trained .hile in the phase" but this does not mean that
trainin% in the phase .ill yield the same results in the real
.orld. &ractice should not be for the sa*e of achie(in% super4
abilities since there are many pro(en applications that do
translate to reality in (aluable .ays. Be realistic.

There are three main elements that" .ith the help of the
phase" may influence the physiolo%y in (ery beneficial .ays.
+irst" it is possible to contact the subconscious mind to learn
ho. to influence physiolo%y. )econd" the brain reacts more
stron%ly to sensations than to real e(ents. +or e1ample" if
runnin% .hile in the phase" the physical processes of the body
.ould be consistent .ith the processes occurrin% in the body
of a person runnin% in reality: respiration accelerates" blood
pressure increases" the heartbeat 8uic*ens" and e(en blood

e1periences profound chan%es of consciousness in the phase"

7ot all influences on physiolo%y are #!!; effecti(e.
Bo.e(er" e(en .ithout a %uaranteed rate of success" the
effort to influence physiolo%y is .orthy of attention because

0f the %oal is to affect the course of a disease" do not
place all your hopes on the phase. The ser(ices of medical
doctors must be the first recourse. The more serious the
illness" the more stron%ly this rule applies.
Obtai+i+5 !+for0atio+
0nformation on health problems may be obtained usin%
the same techni8ues used for obtainin% information. 0t is also
possible to learn methods to remedy health problems" if such
methods e1ist. Both of these possibilities apply to third
parties bein% helped by efforts in the phase. 0nformation
%atherin% is the only pro(en .ay to influence the physiolo%y
of other people by usin% the phase. +or e1ample" it is possible
to find a .ell4*no.n healer in the phase and as* about
personal health problems or the problems of a friend or family
member. D clarified ans.er may be used in the assistance of
traditional medical treatment.

findin% ob6ects and as* the doctor to ta*e e1amine or treat a
*no.n illness or other health problem. +or e1ample" in case of

Dny actions are possible" includin% an operation. Dfter lea(in%

Taki+5 -edici+e,
The placebo effect is much stron%er in the phase than in
reality since all actions occur in a hi%hly modified state of
consciousness and are percei(ed directly. Ob6ect locatin%
techni8ues may be used to find medications used to treat
e1istin% problems. 0t is also possible to create self4made
substances to produce the desirable effect. +or e1ample" in

a pain*iller .hile in the phase and its effect .ill be partially

and tensin% the correspondin% tendons and muscles.

This is nothin% more than normal autosu%%estion or
auto4trainin% in the phase" .hich is more potent in the phase
than reality. D practitioner should repeat a desired %oal
silently or aloud and" if possible" should ima%ine e1periencin%
the desired result. +or e1ample" if the aim is to alle(iate
depression" a practitioner should attempt to recreate a happy
mood in the phase" e1periencin% it to the fullest e1tent
possible. )imultaneously" silent repetition of a %oal .ith
complete understandin% and e1pectation that e(erythin% .ill
be alri%ht and that e(erythin% is .onderful .ill undoubtedly
produce the desired effect.
&,eful E21erie+ce,
E(erythin% .ith useful properties in reality should be
e1perienced as useful in the phase since the body .ill react in

the bruise to start healin% faster and become less painful. The
practitioner enters the phase and employs the techni8ue for
obtainin% information throu%h animate ob6ects" and to that
end summons a sur%eon. Be briefly describes the problem
and as*s for ad(ice. The sur%eon recommends that the
practitioner first %o for a short run in the phase in order to %et

rid of the pain or simply stop feelin% it" and then" before
returnin% to reality" smear some coolin%4a%ent onto the
bruise and in6ect a lar%e dose of no(ocaine into it. The phase
sur%eon mi%ht also ad(ise him to apply a compress usin%
in%redients that he had ne(er e(en thou%ht of" or ta*e a
specific medicine. The result is that all of the abo(e is
implemented both in the phase and in reality" achie(in% a
result commensurate .ith the 8uality of those actions.
&ffectiveness. Effecti(eness (in this conte1t: the
accuracy of *no.led%e obtained throu%h the phase) is hi%hly
dependent on oneEs le(el of mastery 4 that is" on the ability of
the practitioner himself to obtain information from the phase.
+or a no(ice" no more than ! to 4! percent of ad(ice
obtained may be accurate" but .ith e1perience that number
may reach =! or e(en #!! percent. Considerin% this" it is (ital
to use the techni8ues for (erifyin% obtained information.
5ifficulties. The main difficulty .ith this type of healin%
usin% the phase lies in the fact that the practitioner must
posses an additional s*ill: the ability to obtain correct
information from the phase and" by corollary" the ability to
(erify that information. 0tEs usually necessary to simply enter
the phase" deepen it" and then perform the actions one
planned to do" all the .hile maintainin% the phase. But in this
case" e(erythin% is much more difficult.
The (ery accuracy of *no.led%e obtained is hi%hly
dependent on ho. impartial the practitioner is to the
information he is recei(in%" and ho. confident he is that he
.ill be able to obtain accurate information. Be should not
ma*e the source of information feel pressured to say .hat he
.ants to hear. By doin% so" the practitioner .ould cho*e off
the flo. of accurate information. 0tEs hard for the a(era%e
person to Cturn4offC habits li*e this .ithout serious trainin%"
as e(eryone is accustomed to contemplatin% somethin% in the
bac* of oneEs mind" or ha(in% some desired outcome for a
con(ersation.
Accessibilit). Of course" obtainin% information in the
phase for the purpose of healin% is one of the most difficult
(Table of Contents)
388
processes of all" and so the no(ice is better off shyin% a.ay
from it if he doesnEt ha(e a pressin% need to %o throu%h .ith
the process. 2nli*e many other methods for healin% throu%h
the phase" it is necessary here to master the separate and
difficult techni8ue of obtainin% information.
Taki+5 0edici+e,
Actions. $ost people are a.are of the so4called placebo
effect that occurs .hen su%ar4pills administered instead of
real pharmaceuticals .or* 6ust as .ell as dru%s about one
8uarter of the time. 0n the phase" this feat can be pulled off
much more impressi(ely and .ith much %reater effecti(eness"
as not only may any pill (or other dosa%e form) be %enerated"
but its effects can also be felt immediately. The physical body
simply has no other choice .hen it is %i(en a pill .ith ascribed
properties. Dll of this forces the physical body to react to the
e(ents ta*in% place in the phase and recreate the effect in
e(ery possible .ay in the practitionerEs real4life or%anism.
This is a %reat method.
The physical body is totally fooled" and forced to .or* in
a one .ay or another" sol(e a specific problem" or complete a
certain tas*. The *ey to understandin% ho. this occurs lies in
the follo.in% fact: the physical body reacts to all e1periences
in the phase state as if they .ere actually occurrin% in reality"
and attempts to physically adapt to phase e(ents by tryin% to
create the needed and hitherto insufficient effect.
This is made clear by the follo.in% simple lab
e1periment: .hen obser(in% a practitioner .ho is runnin%
.hile in the phase" chan%es in breathin% patterns are
recorded" as is increased heart4rate" ele(ated blood4pressure"
and e(en blood rushin% to the le%s. Dnd these are only
e1ternal indicators. Dlon% .ith them come the same internal
endocrine secretions that .ould occur if the practitioner .ere
actually runnin% a race. These internal processes can be
understood throu%h the follo.in% e1ample: ta*in% a shot of
(od*a in the phase. One not only smells and tastes the
(od*a" but also instantly feels the correspondin% effect of
(Table of Contents)
389
ha(in% a shot" .hich may partially lin%er on after ha(in%
returned to the .a*in% state. But the (od*a may ha(e no
influence if the practitioner focuses on it ha(in% the same
properties as .ater. That is" the (od*a itself can thus lose its
natural properties. Dnd so" .hen ta*in% medicine in the
phase" one ou%ht try ri%ht then and there to feel its effect"
and as intensely as possible.
+or a lon% time" there .as no e1planation as to ho.
ta*in% medicine in the phase in the form of placebos could be
effecti(e and .or*. This is especially considerin% that the
practitioner *no.s that he is ta*in% a placebo" no matter ho.
(i(id the sensations and reactions that accompany it. The
ans.er came in late !#! .hen yet another test on placebos
.as performed at Bar(ard $edical )chool on patients
sufferin% from irritable bo.el syndrome. The e1periment .as
uni8ue in that the patients *ne. that they .ere ta*in% a
placebo 4 that is" a su%ar pill. 7e(ertheless" the %roup ta*in%
the pseudo4medicine e1perienced nearly t.ice the symptom
reduction as the control %roup not %i(en anythin%. Dnd in a
!!> Gu*e 2ni(ersity e1periment on placebos" people .ere
%i(en fa*e pain relie(ers of supposedly different price ran%es.
0t turned out that the Ce1pensi(eC pain4*illers .or*ed on >9;
of test sub6ects" .hile the CcheapC ones .ere effecti(e only
for <# percent. 0t is interestin% to note not only the
difference in effecti(eness bet.een the same su%ar pills" but
also that they .ere so effecti(e to be%in .ith. This
e1periment demonstrates that itEs actually better to ta*e .ell4
*no.n" .ell4ad(ertised" and e1pensi(e dru%s in the phase in
order to obtain ma1imum effect.
The procedure for self4healin% in the phase throu%h
ta*in% medicine is as follo.s: the practitioner must find (usin%
the techni8ues for findin% ob6ects) specific medicines or
create them" and then ta*e them in the usual .ay" acti(ely
tryin% ri%ht then and there to immediately feel the
correspondin% effect. 0f it is not possible to feel the primary
effect of a medicine" then the most stron%ly associated side
effects ou%ht be felt. The medicine or healin% substance itself
(Table of Contents)
390
may ta*e any form: tablets" pills" drin*able infusions"
balsams" potions" etc. @hen a person ta*es these substances
in the phase" the body .ill be%in to reproduce their effect and
associated sensations. 0n addition" a correspondin% reaction
.ill occur at the le(el of internal bodily functions 4 the same
effect that the medicinal substance .as to ha(e brou%ht
about. This is all 8uite simple.
Of substantial si%nificance is the ability to create oneEs
o.n remedies .ith the desired set of healin% properties. +or
e1ample" one can create and ta*e a pill that has been
pro%rammed .ith the findin% ob6ects techni8ue to
simultaneously treat t.o or more diseases" e(en if no such
dru% e1ists in the physical .orld. $ean.hile" it is .orth notin%
the re%ularity .ith .hich in(ented substances are less
effecti(e than e1istin% or .ell4*no.n ones 4 this phenomenon
is due to practitioners ha(in% psycholo%ical bloc*s.
Of course" in most cases it is not enou%h to ta*e a sin%le
dose of a medicine .hile in the phase. Therefore" itEs a %ood
idea to %o on a *ind of treatment re%ime" ta*in% doses at
re%ular inter(als" 6ust as if .ith a real pharmaceutical
prescription. 0n some complicated situations" it is necessary to
ta*e medicine re%ularly in the phase o(er oneEs .hole life 4
6ust as in the physical .orld.
0t is .orth mentionin% one important item on the sub6ect
of dosa%e: it is in fact possible to still obtain a desired effect
.ithout ta*in% any medicine in the phase. Bo.e(er" it is
difficult for a practitioner to ma*e his or%anism .or* in the
desired .ay .ithout a supportin% anchor. The medicines
themsel(es are .hat %reatly facilitate the acti(ation of the
desired self4healin% pro%ram by actin% as anchors. Ds it turns
out" the dosa%e amount does not ha(e any importance at all.
Bo.e(er" itEs better to follo. established norms at the
be%innin% of oneEs practice" as this acti(ates subconscious
pro%rammin% correlatin% 8uantity .ith 8uality. 7onetheless"
an o(erdose may ha(e ad(erse effects. Once a practitioner
learns to independently reproduce the effect of medicines on
(Table of Contents)
391
his body" it .ill be possible to use preparations in minute
amounts.
@hen choosin% amon% (arious medicines" the 8uestion
may arise as to .hether or not the side effects that many of
them ha(e .ill also occur in the phase. 0t can be confidently
stated that the incidence of side effects is reduced here by 9!
to #!! percent" because as far as the subconscious mind is
concerned" any medicine should heal first and foremost.
$ean.hile" the body may not be pro%rammed to produce side
effects. Fi(en this situation" it is better not to use medicines
.hose side effects are .ell *no.n" as in that case side effects
may not only arise" but also be dominant .hen certain
techni8ue4related mista*es are made. That is" the medicine
may do more to cause harm than to heal in the phase.
Therapeutic indications. Therapeutic indications for
ta*in% any medicine in the phase *no. practically no limits.
Ds .ith obtainin% information" the phase can be employed
to.ards accomplishin% any ob6ecti(e or tac*lin% any illness.
&4ample. )uppose a practitioner catches a bad cold"
resultin% in the symptoms of headache" runny nose" cou%h"
and fe(er. Be enters a deep sta%e" and" usin% the techni8ue
for findin% ob6ects" finds on the ni%htstand a bo1 of .ell4
ad(ertised cold relief medicine" the *ind that is dissol(ed into
a %lass of .ater. Be then %oes into the *itchen and drops a
tablet into a %lass of .ater" .hich starts fi,,in% and
dissol(in%. Ds soon as the tablet dissol(es" he drin*s do.n the
entire %lass" tryin% at the same time to immediately feel its
effect: .armth courses throu%h his body" a certain feelin% of
.ell4bein% arises" his temperature %oes do.n" post4nasal drip
eases" and so on. Dfter returnin% to the physical .orld" the
practitioner either immediately feels better" or the relief
comes %radually from that point on. The procedure is then
carried out se(eral times o(er the course of the ne1t se(eral
days. The practitioner may then separately implement a
pre(entati(e course of treatment" ma*in% future colds milder
and much less fre8uent.
(Table of Contents)
392
Of course" the techni8ue for findin% ob6ects can be
employed to.ards a (ariety of ends. +or e1ample" you may
find a %lass .ith a cold4relief tablet already dissol(ed into it"
and thus sa(e time.
&ffectiveness. +or the no(ice" the effecti(eness of ta*in%
medicine in the phase as a means for healin% ran%es from
appro1imately 9! to =! percent. That is to say" in the
ma6ority of cases there is a clear and stable effect.
Considerin% that pills" for e1ample" are rarely this effecti(e in
real life" it turns out that in many cases this is the best of all
a(ailable .ays to heal oneself. +or e1perienced practitioners"
effecti(eness reaches ?! to #!! percent. 0t is necessary at
times to ad6ust the re%ularity .ith .hich medicines are ta*en
.hile in the phase" as dosa%e increments are often crucial to
optimi,in% the effect.
5ifficulties. There are no substantial difficulties .ith
ta*in% medicine in the phase. Re8uired here are the basic
s*ills of findin% ob6ects and the ability to reproduce medicineEs
effect .hen ta*in% it 4 this is accomplished by simply
deepenin% oneEs desire for this to happen. 0f this is not
achie(ed on the first try" then it .ill .or* by the second or
third attempt.
Accessibilit). $edicines are the basic means of
influencin% the or%anism .hile in the phase state. Ds this
techni8ue is both accessible and easy to master" e(en for
no(ices" one should add it to oneEs repertoire ri%ht a.ay and
try to achie(e results from the (ery first attempts. This is
especially true" in (ie. of the techni8ueEs hi%h le(el of
effecti(eness.
irect i+flue+ce
Actions. Girect influence on the or%anism .hile in the
phase is attributed to the effect of the body reactin% at all
le(els to the impact of phase e1periences" as .as described in
the section re%ardin% the techni8ue of ta*in% medicines. That
is" .hen somethin% is done to the or%anism .hile in the
phase" the effect is immediately felt there" and" at the same
(Table of Contents)
393
time" there is a real effect on the body in the physical .orld"
6ust as if e(erythin% .ere happenin% in real life. The main
difference .ith techni8ues for direct influence is that the
problem is approached not throu%h an intermediary
(medicine)" but is instead tac*led directly. This is essentially a
more thorou%h method" but also a more difficult one.
0n practice" it .or*s li*e this: a person %oes into the
phase state and be%ins to directly influence the sic* or%an or
or%anism usin% all means at his disposal 4 both those that
e1ist in the physical .orld and those that do not. $oreo(er"
he can influence the body simply at the le(el of perception"
.ithout e1ternal contact. The (ery perception of direct
influence is the *ey factor here. @ithout it" thereEs no real
point to applyin% the techni8ue 4 nota bene.
There are many options for directly influencin% the
or%anism as a .hole or influencin% its indi(idual parts:
heatin%" coolin%" releasin% ener%y" numbin%" massa%in%"
administerin% in6ections" smearin% ointments" radiation
treatment 4 in %eneral" e(erythin% that is possible or
impossible in real life. This process re8uires both ta*in% the
initiati(e and a creati(e approach.
One may influence either the entire or%anism as a
.hole" or any separate part of it .hile in the phase. +or
e1ample" one can easily .arm up the entire body" heat up
only the brain" or e(en massa%e it" as incredible as that may
sound. Thou%h this may stri*e some as unbelie(ably stran%e"
one may actually put oneEs hand throu%h the body .hile in
the phase" feel any or%an" and influence or affect it as
necessary. Goin% this feels so realistic that people are often
lon% unable to brin% themsel(es to attempt it" if only out of
the fri%ht that stri*es them .hen they feel their o.n hand
passin% throu%h their o.n body and touchin% their internal
or%ans. +or e1ample" if a person .ants to ha(e an affect on
the li(er" he .ill be able not only to hold it .ith his left hand"
but also to directly feel the li(er itself" as .ell as the
sensation of holdin% it. This may be particularly fri%htenin%
.hen actin% on the heart or the brain. The phase is the only
(Table of Contents)
394
place .here one may do all this. Dnd this is truly more than
6ust an incredible e1perience that lea(es an emotional
impression lastin% oneEs entire life. )i%nificantly" one can
affect not only a disease" but also its symptoms. By
alle(iatin% and eliminatin% symptoms" one .ill li*e.ise
influence their source. This is especially important .hen the
source of the symptoms themsel(es is not .ell understood.
Of course" as .ith most other techni8ues for influencin%
the body .hile in the phase" a sin%le direct treatment is often
not enou%h. Ds a rule" the procedure should be performed
se(eral times by enterin% the phase for se(eral days in a ro."
or e(en implementin% a treatment re%ime. Either .ay" all this
depends on a practitionerEs le(el of s*ill in employin% the
techni8ue. 0t %oes .ithout sayin% that an e1perienced
practitioner need perform far fe.er procedures than a no(ice.
Therapeutic indications. Girectly influencin% the
or%anism is easiest .hen it comes to a problem .hose
locali,ation is *no.n. 0t is (ery difficult to directly influence an
imperceptible illness of an un*no.n nature that e1hibits fe.
symptoms.
&4ample. The e1ample of an in6ured le% .ill no. be
ta*en up a%ain. The practitioner enters a deep phase and
immediately be%ins manipulatin% the le% in e(ery .ay
possible. +irst" he concentrates on his le% not hurtin% and
bein% already healed" and tries to circulate internally4
%enerated therapeutic heat and (ibrations about it. The
healin% effect must be felt immediately. 0f there is time left"
the practitioner uses the techni8ue for findin% ob6ects to
summon a syrin%e loaded .ith pain*illers and fast4actin%
bruise4treatin% medication. Be in6ects the entire does into his
le%" tryin% to immediately feel the effect of the preparation.
This comes easily: the practitioner feels numbness and
pleasant sensations emanatin% from the shot. 0f possible" he
finally rubs in a specially created ointment onto his le%"
further acceleratin% the healin% process. @hen the
practitioner returns from the phase" he is li*ely to
immediately feel that his le% hurts a lot less" and that it .ill
(Table of Contents)
395
soon be%in to reco(er. 7e(ertheless itEs best to perform the
same procedure se(eral times.
Dnother e1ample: *idney stones. The practitioner enters
into a deep phase" and for se(eral minutes tries to CblastC the
*idneys .ith .arm (ibrations that dissol(e the stones. To do
this" he first tries to simply feel his *idneys" and then in(o*es
the necessary processes in them by force of a stron% desire to
do so. Dfter.ards" he slips his hands into his abdomen" holds
one *idney in each hand" and starts massa%in% them in such
a .ay as to dissol(e the stones in them. Then" he carefully
slips his fin%ers into his *idneys" and uses them to rub the
stones into a harmless po.der. +or ma1imum effect" the
practitioner should carry out this procedure re%ularly and
consistently on this problem" as it is not one that is 8uic*ly
resol(ed.
&ffectiveness. 0n most cases" the techni8ue of direct
influence is a (ery effecti(e means of treatment. This is
especially true .hen the problem is palpable and ob(ious.
Effecti(eness can reach <! to >! percent e(en for a no(ice" to
say nothin% of .hat more e1perienced practitioners can
achie(e.
5ifficulties. Girectly influencin% the or%anism .hile in the
phase in(ol(es no substantial difficulties. 0t is only necessary
to feel the effect of such influence" .hich is easy to do .hen
desire is stron% enou%h" e(en .ithout prior trainin%. There
remains the minor problem of fear arisin% .hen hands are
inserted into the body" a phobia that tends to be difficult to
o(ercome. Bo.e(er" the fear often becomes surmountable
.hen oneEs %oal is serious enou%h. )ometimes curiosity alone
is not enou%h to brin% oneself to ha,ard the (enture.
Accessibilit). Girectly influencin% an illness or health
problem is sufficiently easy in the phase" in addition to bein%
8uite effecti(e. Therefore" e(en be%inners are encoura%ed to
use this techni8ue from their (ery first attempts and ne(er
for%et about it" e(en after ha(in% mastered other techni8ues
for healin% themsel(es .hile in phase states. This techni8ue is
one of the fundamentals.

Pro5ra00i+5
Actions. The effecti(eness auto4trainin%" self4
pro%rammin% and self4hypnosis ha(e been lon% established.
They ha(e been pro(en to brin% results e(en .hen performed
.hile a.a*e. The deeper the trance state that they are
implemented in" the more effecti(e they are. +rom this
perspecti(e" the idea cannot but occur of also usin% similar
techni8ues to heal throu%h the phase" as the phase state is
the deepest hypnotic trance state that can be achie(ed
consciously and independently. $oreo(er" the usual trance
state in .hich self4hypnosis is performed does not e(en be%in
to compare .ith the phase in terms of substance or
effecti(eness. Therefore" self4pro%rammin% is many times
more effecti(e in the phase than in any other state. This is"
for all effecti(e purposes" a ne. era of de(elopment for these
*inds of technolo%ies.
&ro%rammin% in phase consists of creatin% self4fulfillin%
subconscious resolutions. )ince a person in the phase is in the
deepest of all possible altered states of consciousness" this is
the most effecti(e place for such pro%rammin%. Fi(en the fact
that much human illness is psychosomatic in nature" and yet
still causes real sufferin%" pro%rammin% techni8ues employed
in the phase can destroy such CdiseasesC at the root.
0n practice" one %ets into the phase and introduces a
resolution directly at the subconscious le(el to remedy a
specific health problem. There are se(eral (ariations of this
action in the phase. +irst" one simply can firmly state oneEs
resolution aloud re%ardin% remedyin% a problem or re%ardin%
oneEs .ell4bein%. )econd" pro%rammin% can also be effected
.ordlessly" at the le(el of speechless understandin% and
intention. This second (ariation is much more difficult than
(erbal su%%estion" so it is better for the no(ice to shy a.ay
from it.
The duration of one attempt should not ta*e up an entire
phase" as .hat matters here is not the len%th of an attempt"
but itEs 8uality. @hatEs important is that the pro%rammin%
(Table of Contents)
397
occurs in the subcorte1 at the deepest and most meanin%ful
le(el" e(en if it lasts for only #! to #9 seconds. GonEt assume
that se(eral .ords pronounced half4heartedly .ill do all of the
.or* on their o.n" as if this .ere the same thin% as castin% a
spell. These .ords need to be e1perienced and felt at all
le(els of perception and consciousness a.areness.
@hen pro%rammin% your subconscious" it is (ery
important to note that (erbal formulas should not contain
ne%ations. +or e1ample" one should not say" C0 do not ha(e
insomnia.C 0nstead" it is much better to affirm" C0 sleep deeply
and soundly" 0 fall asleep 8uic*ly.C Ds .ith other techni8ues
for self4healin% in the phase" actin% on a problem 6ust once is
often not enou%h .hen pro%rammin%. 0t is better to introduce
resolutions se(eral times on different days. )ometimes itEs
ad(isable to implement an entire treatment re%ime.
Therapeutic indications. &ro%rammin% for self4healin% in
the phase can be applied to almost any disease or ailment"
but it .or*s best of all for problems of personal psycholo%y or
%eneral .ell4bein%. +or e1ample" one may use it to impro(e
o(erall .or*in% capacity" alle(iate fati%ue and an1iety"
increase stamina" impro(e o(erall health" bolster the immune
system" and much more.
&4ample. D practitioner has an illness that is at a serious
sta%e and accompanied by fati%ue as .ell as irritated mood"
but has no possibility of ta*in% sic*4lea(e to %et better" as he
needs %o to .or* e(ery day. Dnd so" he enters a deep phase
and be%ins to say aloud the follo.in% .ords: COnce 0 e1it the
phase" .ithin a day 0 .ill feel buoyant" healthy" and acti(e. 0
.ill be in a %ood mood and ha(e ideal o(erall .ell4bein%. 0 am
healthy. 0 am acti(e. 0 am happy. 0 ha(e boundless ener%y"
and 0 am full of (itality.C $ean.hile" he does not merely utter
these .ords" but also tries to feel them" to e1perience them.
Of course" itEs better for him to initiate further procedures to
treat the disease itself before e1itin% the phase. 0n any case"
repeatin% such an affirmation almost immediately after
returnin% to reality may also brin% solid results.

&ffectiveness. The effecti(eness of pro%rammin% for self4
healin% throu%h the phase is not (ery hi%h" as most people
are unable to feel the self4pro%rammed resolutions fully and
deeply. Effecti(eness for be%inners is some.here .ithin the
bounds of :! and 9! percent. Effecti(eness increases .ith
practice. 0nterestin%ly" a sin%le session is (ery often enou%h
for e1perienced practitioners 4 unli*e the case .ith other
methods for self4healin% throu%h the phase.
5ifficulties. The main difficulty arisin% .hen usin%
pro%rammin% techni8ues occurs .ith bein% able to sincerely
feel the resolution bein% made. This can be an
insurmountable obstacle for many due to their psycholo%ical
ma*eup or difficulties in understandin% .hat is %oin% on. 0t is
also necessary to ma*e separate note of the fact that the
process of pro%rammin% may e6ect a practitioner from the
phase" as it tends to be rela1in%. Thus" it is important not to
for%et to employ some of the techni8ues for maintainin% the
phase .hile pro%rammin%. +or e1ample" one mi%ht constantly
rub the hands to%ether" scrutini,e somethin% up4close" or
*eep (ibrations %oin% the .hole time.
Accessibilit). Considerin% li*elihood of effecti(eness and
technical difficulties" self4healin% in the phase throu%h
pro%rammin% is often not (ery accessible for be%inners.
Therefore" unless there is some specific %oal that can only be
sol(ed only in this .ay" it is better to use other techni8ues.
P,ycholo5ical i01act
Actions. @hene(er it is necessary to sol(e problems
related to psycholo%ical or psychosomatic illnesses" usin% the
phase for psycholo%ical impact is the most effecti(e" clear"
and pro(en .ay to influence the or%anism. 0tEs not for nothin%
that science has documented its effecti(eness in studies on
lucid dreamin%.
The operational principles of this techni8ue are simple:

0t .ould ser(e .ell to start by notin% that practicin% the
phase" e(en outside the conte1t of self4healin%" in and of
itself has a po.erful" positi(e" and fa(orable effect that .ill
manifest itself in any indi(idual pursuin% it. The point is that
once someone has e1perienced the phase and reali,ed the
true e1panse and endlessness of the .orldEs hori,ons" he or
she be%ins to relate to real life in a different .ay. Be becomes
more open" has fe.er issues .ith himself and the .orld" and
more sociable. $oreo(er" practical mastery of the phase
builds inner centeredness 4 thou%h itEs real .or*. &racticin%
the phase cannot but ha(e a beneficial effect on the
indi(idual" as it is a real form of self4actuali,ation in and of
itself. 0t is both authentic and lastin% self4actuali,ation 4
unli*e other practices that (er%e on delusion and con6ecture.
Therapeutic indications. The follo.in% types of problems
may be acted upon .ith the help of psycholo%ical impact in
the phase: mental illnesses and other problems (includin%
phobias" fears" comple1es" indecision" depression" social
an1iety" and much more). This techni8ue for self4healin% in
the phase is ill suited for conditions that are not of a
psycholo%ical nature. The e1ceptions to that rule are illnesses
caused by factors of a psychosomatic nature (accordin% to
some reports" up to 9!; of all diseases fall into this cate%ory"
but such distinctions are difficult to cate%ori,e on a case4by4
case basis).
&4ample. D person is afraid to tra(el by airplane
(aerophobia). To sol(e this problem" the person should enter
a deep phase" and" by employin% the techni8ue of
translocation" find himself in an airplane %oin% throu%h rou%h
turbulence. Gespite the fact that all this is not really
happenin% in the physical .orld" the fear e1perienced .ill be
>! to #! percent that of a similar real4life situation" as the
realism of the phase state is e1tremely ele(ated. There is
practically no difference bet.een sensations e1perienced in

the phase and those of real life. Bo.e(er" there is no actual
threat to life and limb in the phase 4 the practitioner
understands this subconsciously" and tries to stay in the
airplane as lon% as possible" %ettin% used to its s.ayin%"
sha*in%" and sudden dips. Only a couple of such ri(etin%
simulations are usually enou%h to at least ta*e any phobia out
of the forefront of oneEs mind and stop it from causin% further
distress" if not indeed banish it.
The ne1t e1ample to be considered is a scenario .here a
person had a (ery stressful e1perience .hile still a child: the
death of a fa(orite puppy. 0n such cases" an a%e4old method
.or*s 8uite .ell 4 communicatin% .ith the %eist of the
departed (this also .or*s .ith human bein%s). This is 8uite a
sure method" especially considerin% that there is nothin%
difficult about it from a technical point of (ie.. One need only
enter a deep phase and apply the techni8ue for findin%
ob6ects. The e1act same puppy remembered from childhood
.ill appear. 0t .ill also lic* oneEs face" play" bar*" and loo* at
its o.ner .ith loyal eyes" .a%%in% its little tail all the .hile.
The practitioner .ill be able to once a%ain pic* it up" pet it"
touch its fur" and feel its .ei%ht and .armth. The puppy .ill
be 6ust the same as if encountered in real life. E(en .hen it
playfully nips at the hand" the o.ner .ill feel it. The first such
meetin% .ill naturally cause some sadness and tears" but
from then on" once one reali,es that one can continue to
meet .ith this pet in phase" sadness .ill 8uic*ly recede to the
bac*%round (as .ill all psychosomatic complications caused
by the death of the belo(ed animal). The practitioner .ill
be%in to feel that the puppy is really ali(e. Dfter all"
perception arises from sensory input" and not deducti(e
reasonin%.
&ffectiveness. The instruments for psycholo%ical impact
in the phase are 8uite effecti(e. Ds psycholo%y is bein%
discussed" it is difficult to compare the effecti(eness of this
techni8ue .ith other methods of treatment. 7onetheless"

the (ery first applications. ThatEs somethin% that really stands
out.
5ifficulties. Ds it is the psyche and the mind that are
bein% impacted by these techni8ues for self4healin%" a certain
amount of internal effort is necessary to achie(e results. +or
e1ample" if a person is tryin% to o(ercome claustrophobia"
then real fear .ill arise .hen he finds himself in enclosed
spaces .hile in the phase. Be .ill still ha(e to confront his
phobia on his o.n. The phase here only pro(ides a
sprin%board for .or*in% on oneself. 0t should ne(er be
assumed that the incredible effecti(eness of this method
comes out of thin air" .ithout effort on the part of the
practitioner.
Accessibilit). )elf4healin% in the phase usin% the
techni8ue of psycholo%ical impact is readily accessible to
be%inners" startin% from their first phase entrances. This is
because it does not re8uire any special s*ills e1cept the ability
to translocate" and so this course can be ta*en ri%ht from the
outset.
'eali+5 Other,
0n addition to self4healin%" the phase state of the mind
also pro(ides some possibilities for ha(in% an influence on the
health of others.
0tEs not ne.s that most people are firstly interested not
in self4healin%" but in helpin% others. This is understandable"
as perhaps they ha(e lo(ed ones .ho are for .hate(er reason
unable to use the phase" or are e1tremely ne%ati(ely
pre6udiced a%ainst such thin%s. &erhaps the reader of this
boo* is a professional .ho treats diseases in non4traditional
.ays" or is a no(ice healer himself.
0t is .ell to first emphasi,e that only one of the .ide
(ariety of theoretical .ays to ha(e an influence on another
person in the phase is pro(en and absolutely practicable" and
it is techni8ues for obtainin% information. @hile the effects of
all the other techni8ues on the practitioner himself are
beyond doubt and ha(e been pro(en e1perimentally" their
(Table of Contents)
402
influence on other people remains theoretical 4 as of yet" no
one has been able to pro(e remote influence on another
person in a controlled e1periment. +or e1ample" if you find a
friend in the phase and %i(e him some medicine" the effect of
that medicine on him .ill remain theoretical.
0t is important to reali,e that tryin% to employ anythin%
but the techni8ue for obtainin% information ris*s time and
ener%y bein% spent in (ain. )ome certainly .ill claim to ha(e
pro(en that it is possible to ha(e a direct affect on another
person throu%h the phase. Bo.e(er" only .hat each and
e(ery person can accomplish 4 literally from the first time 4
.ill be discussed here. @hate(er the case may be" it can be
definiti(ely stated here that either influencin% another person
remotely is impossible" as fe. ha(e reported results" or it
simply remains unclear ho. to do it. Either .ay" in embar*in%
upon such hitherto unpro(en e1periments" one does so at
oneEs o.n ris* and peril. 0f remote influence throu%h the
phase ne(ertheless sho.s itself to be .or*in%" then it is
already the practitioner himself .ho .ill ha(e to *no. .hat
needs to be added so that the impact on the other person
brin%s stable results.
OneEs theoretical (ie. on the nature of the phase
phenomenon .ill play an enormous role in oneEs choice of a
course of action. The materialist .ill not ha(e any .ay of
helpin% another person besides obtainin% information. The
occultist is hardly li*ely to encounter barriers to his practice.
This is a choice for each person to ma*e. 0t should be
understood that e(en if other techni8ues allo. some influence
on others" the results are clearly far from stable 4 as many
.ill doubt the results due to a lac* of empirical e(idence" and
not out of their o.n (ie.s or theories. That (ery lac* of
empirical e(idence forbears a definiti(e statement here.
)cientific e1periments ha(e deli(ered no confirmation to date.
Of course" if one .ishes to help another person" there is
another pro(en .ay to do so besides obtainin% information:
con(incin% him to practice the phase and employ the
appropriate techni8ues for self4healin% himself. +rom a
(Table of Contents)
403
pra%matic point of (ie. on the phenomenon" this is a much
surer .ay than tryin% to influence another person from the
phase.
The techni8ue of obtainin% information .ill be of help for
the practitioner .ho has decided to heal another person. This
techni8ue is described in detail in this boo*" alon% .ith ho. to
use it. The only difference is that information must be sou%ht
on a particular person" and not on oneself. The practitioner
may learn not only ho. to pro(ide treatment in real4life" but
also ho. to obtain a comprehensi(e dia%nosis.
0t .or*s li*e this: usin% the techni8ue for obtainin%
information" one finds a specialist .ho .ill help deal .ith the
problem that oneEs ac8uaintance is e1periencin%. One then
spea*s .ith this doctor about ho. to help him" about .hat
can be done in reality" and so on... The phase doctorEs
prescriptions andPor ad(ice are then relayed to the person for
.hom they .ere obtained. Dlternati(ely" the entire phase
e1perience is related to the person in need.
+rom a materialist point of (ie." it is necessary to note
the fact that far from e(eryone can be helped usin% the
phase. @ithout %oin% into detailed e1planations" it .ill simply
be stated that the more one *no.s about a person" the more
one .ill be able to find out about him in the phase. E(en if
one has only seen the personEs picture" it is possible that one
.ill nonetheless find out somethin% about him" and be able to
help him in some .ay. But if one *no.s this person
personally" then the amount of information obtained about
him throu%h the phase .ill increase drastically. D practitioner
should at least tal* for a short .hile .ith a person before
attemptin% to obtain information in the phase about his
health" or treatment methods best suited to his condition.
Theoretical /ay, to heal other,
The follo.in% methods ha(e in no .ay been pro(en to
.or* in practice. One may e1periment .ith them at oneEs o.n
personal discretion. $oreo(er" if a practitioner intends to help
people in these .ays" he should ne(er under any

circumstances promise to sol(e all of their problems" because
they should not for%o more traditional methods of treatment.
D student ou%ht be sensible and realistic in e(aluatin% his
capabilities" especially if he is only 6ust startin% out .ith his
practice" and most of his (ie.s are based on borro.ed
theories" rather than on personal e1perience.
Dlso" all of these techni8ues re8uire the ability to find
ob6ects. To better understand the essence of techni8ues for
treatin% other people" it is best to learn them by practicin% on
oneself. This chapter .ill only briefly describe adaptin% some
techni8ues for .or* .ith others.
Dlmost e(eryone as*s the 8uestion" C@ho are these
sub6ects that .e are to find in the phase and healLC This
8uestion arises for one simple reason: there are no clear
common definitions re%ardin% the nature of the phenomenon
itself that .ould allo. one to spea* confidently on its
particulars. $any people (up to 9; of the .orld population)
still do not *no. that the Earth re(ol(es around the sun"
rather than (ice (ersa. )o itEs 8uite a transition from there to
the phenomenon at hand...
2pon disco(erin% .ho or .hat these phase sub6ects and
ob6ects .ere" the e1planation for the nature of the
phenomenon itself .ould at last be at hand. +or the
materialist" people in the phase" no matter .hat their
e1ternal realism or belie(ability of beha(ior" .ould be merely
simulated clones that ha(e no relation to people or ob6ects in
the real .orld. +or the esoteric" the person or ob6ect in the
phase .ould be the soul of a real person. )o itEs the same as
usual: each person sees the .orld in accordance .ith his
assumptions and *no.led%e. But caution is al.ays ad(ised in
such matters" as people all too easily succumb to the po.er
of pitfalls of (arious *inds" some of .hich they cannot escape
for the rest of their li(es.
Taking medicines. Ddaptin% this techni8ue to treatin%
another person means that that person must first be found in
the phase (usin% the techni8ue of findin%). 0t is then
necessary to administer appropriate medication dependin% on
(Table of Contents)
405
the nature of the health problems. &ossibilities include not
only pharmacy dru%s" but also any possible fol* remedies. +or
e1ample" if the other person has prolon%ed headaches" then
he should be %i(en po.erful pain*illers to s.allo." as .ell as
other dru%s that stri*e at the headacheEs cause (if *no.n).
5irect .nfluence. @ith direct impact on another person"
after first findin% him in the phase" it is necessary to .or*
directly and fi1edly on the problematic or%ans" or on his
%eneral condition. To this end" one may use official
prescriptions or fol* remedies" (arious *inds of massa%es" as
.ell as anythin% else that comes to mind. +or e1ample" a
patient has bad sunburn. 0n addition to all the other options
for treatment" one mi%ht run oneEs hand o(er his dama%ed
s*in" thus restorin% it (this comes easily)" %i(e him in6ections
to accelerate the healin%" or use ointments" and so on.
=rogramming. Dfter ha(in% found someone in the phase"
one simply loo*s him in the eye and impresses upon him that
he does not ha(e a particular problem" that it .ill pass
8uic*ly" that he is healthy" (i%orous" happy" etc. &erhaps a
practitionerEs friend is chronically fati%ued. 0n that case" after
findin% him in a phase" the practitioner needs to con(ince him
that he is full of ener%y" acti(e" has boundless ener%y" stron%
moti(ation" is more %oal4determined than e(er" and so on. Dll
this must be said ri%ht to his face .ith a firm (oice. There .ill
hopefully be an immediately chan%e to his countenance" thus
confirmin% the instant effect. One may also obtain (erbal
confirmation from him that the pro%rammin% is .or*in%.
=s)chological .mpact. 0n adaptin% this healin% techni8ue
to .or* .ith another person" one need first find that sub6ect"
and then immerse him in the necessary feelin%s and
e1periences. +or e1ample" a person is afraid of do%s. )o" the
practitioner finds him usin% the techni8ues for findin% ob6ects"
and then places him in a situation .here there are many do%s
and they all are friendly to him" nu,,lin% up to one another"
and playin%. Con(ersely" the practitioner could place him in a
situation .here there are do%s beha(in% (ery a%%ressi(ely"

The only sure .ay to %et practice .ithout unnecessarily

the nature and possibilities of the phase phenomenon.
The ma6ority of a(ailable information re%ardin%
dissociati(e phenomena is inaccurate. This becomes ob(ious
durin% initial entries into the phase. This is .hy practice
should be%in from the perspecti(e of a clean slate" usin% a
lo%ical bearin% in thin*in%: ever)thing not confirmed b)
personal e4perience should be taken with a grain of salt. This
means only personal e1perience should be ta*en seriously"
not the e1perience of ac8uaintances" authors" teachers" blo%s"
or forums.
To err is humanH thus" it is also human to pass on
errors. Ds a result" many parado1ical old .i(esJ tales

to approach the phenomenon in a do.n4to4earth manner"
from a scientific perspecti(e" discountin% any purported

depend (ery much on the person e1periencin% it.
+or e1ample" if a practitioner belie(es upon enterin% the
phase that his body .ill be lyin% nearby on the bed" then it
.ill al.ays be there. 0f a practitioner belie(es that the
percei(ed body should al.ays be tethered to the physical
body" then the practitioner .ill al.ays see and e(en feel a

phase by accident and thin*s that the time of death has
arri(ed may see an%els and a tunnel .ith a li%ht at the end. 0f
someone is e1tremely reli%ious" there may be a perception
that somethin% holy" e(en Fod" has appeared. 0f entry to the

)ince techni8ues used to enter the phase are associated
.ith a specific type of mental operation" it is necessary to
create comfortable conditions so that e1ternal distracters are
*ept to a minimum. D room should neither be too cold or too

Interesting Fact!
.n bright rooms, wearing a sleeping
mask over the e)es can double the success
rate of attempts, and also help one to enter
a much deeper and longer phase.
0nterferin% noises are often also ma6or distracters and
isolation from such noises is necessary to successful practice.
0t is often sufficient to turn off the phone and close doors and

Bein% %enerally ac8uainted .ith the indirect techni8ues
as .ell as the elementary rules of deepenin% and maintainin%
the phase may be considered the threshold le(el of practice.
Getailed *no.led%e of the technical aspects of the practice
may be considered the basic le(el. To be discussed no. is the
hi%her le(el of practice" .hich differs substantially from lo.er
le(els on e(ery front.
.f a practitioner is still unable to intentionall) enter the
phase at least several times a week, then he should not read
this section. .t ma) cause his mind additional confusion and
distract him with things that are not )et necessar) and
difficult to understand. .f he decides to read on an)wa), he
does so at his own risk and full) responsible for the

@hen masterin% the practice of the phase" the process is
se8uential: one starts .ith simple bac*%round *no.led%e and
techni8ues" and then .or*s oneEs .ay up to increasin%ly
difficult thin%s. Bo.e(er" once a certain le(el is reached" the
process %oes bac* the other .ay: oneEs entire approach
simplifies as one discerns the underlyin% principles. One
cannot start off from those principles" as they can only be
discerned throu%h indi(idual practice upon ha(in% mastered
the basics. This comes naturally for many practitioners. The
aim of this section is only to hi%hli%ht thin%s that .ill be
reali,ed consciously or subconsciously by a person constantly
practicin% the phase.

*no.led%e" no need to .orry 4 e(erythin% .ith become
simpler .ith e1perience" and the discipline of practicin% itself
.ill brin% much more en6oyment. &erhaps only the discipline
in its hi%her form should be considered the real practice of the
phase" as only then does it harmoni,e .ith real life and brin%
no discomfort.
D hi%h le(el practitioner can achie(e the follo.in%:
.ndirect techni/ues work no less than -,1 of the time.
'onsciousness while dreaming can be obtained 0,1 of
the time that one desires it.
5irect techni/ues work no less than 8,1 of the time.
5eepening takes a minimal amount of time and is
performed while accomplishing a plan of action.
!aintaining is less energ)2consuming and its effects
more prolonged.
The phase can be applied in one wa) or another as
soon as one desires to do so.
&ven a moderate2level practitioner can enter the phase
man) times a da) (B28 times, not counting secondar)
entrances. At a high level of practice, this should be
normal.
0f a phaser has not reached such a le(el in e(ery aspect"
then he is still ma*in% some fundamental mista*es and
therefore has somethin% to .or* to.ards. 0f he has reached a
hi%h le(el" then he is already li(in% in t.o .orlds" and before
him lies an unlimited 2ni(erse" .here no. only he alone can

corrections to his e1perience.

T'E ABSO#&TE PR!(3!P#E
&ure desire is one of the core principles of a hi%h le(el of
practice. The practitioner already *no.s .hat e1actly he
needs from one techni8ue or another. Be stri(es to directly
achie(e his aim throu%h a combination of specific" focused
desire and recall of the state. 0n other .ords" the phaser no.
stri(es to.ards a desire to accomplish or e1perience
somethin%" and not to.ards %oin% throu%h rituals in pursuit of
some (a%ue %oal.
0n order to achie(e somethin%" the practitioner no.
simply .ills it. 0t is obtained .ithout any other actions. There
is no lon%er any point to most of the techni8ues" .hich only
become necessary in special cases .hen they are the only
.ay to achie(e a result in difficult situations.
!(!RE3T TE3'(!*&ES
@hen at a hi%h le(el of practice" a phaser is not
surprised by the phase itself (as is the case at other le(els).
The only surprise comes from unsuccessful attempts .hen he
is unable to enter it. This is especially true re%ardin% indirect
techni8ues. Three *ey factors lead to such a success rate.
0f techni8ues performed upon a.a*enin% do not .or*
due to an a%%ressi(e approach" this is al.ays remedied by
correct use of forced fallin% asleep in parallel to the
techni8ues. They al.ays start to .or*" and so choice of
techni8ue is not important here. Dnd if a techni8ue has
started .or*in% upon a.a*enin%" then thatEs a clear si%n of a
deep phase. That is" .or*in% techni8ues are mar*ers of the
phase. $any e1perienced practitioners immediately be%in to
use forced fallin% asleep in parallel .ith performin% the
indirect techni8ues" .hich is .hy they are either immediately
able to e1it the body" or the first techni8ue that they use
.or*s.
(Table of Contents)
456
Dn e1perienced phaser does not perform indirect
techni8ues in order to obtain the ri%ht state. Be mo(es
directly to.ards that state" and mi%ht perform some
techni8ue in order to control his conscious mind. The tas* is
to obtain the ri%ht state 4 a certain physiolo%ical process 4
upon a.a*enin%. Dnd if that stateEs already there" and if that
state is already 8uite familiar" then it only remains to %o for
it- ThatEs the .hole secret. 0tEs almost impossible to describe
ho. it feels in .ords" yet many do it intuiti(ely in practice.
0tEs usually more a combination of recollection of the state"
forced fallin% asleep" and an intense desire to enter the phase
no matter .hat. The most important thin% is to aim ri%ht for
the phase.
2nderstandin% a lo%ical fact dramatically increases the
effecti(eness of indirect techni8ues: practically e(ery time a
practitioner is .a*in% up" he is already in the phase" be it a
deep or shallo. form of it. &hysiolo%ically spea*in%" a person
.ho has 6ust .o*en up is in the phase by definition. Once a
practitioner understands this" he .ill act in a much more self4
assured and focused manner durin% attempts" and results .ill
follo.. 0tEs no secret that a substantial portion of unsuccessful
attempts 4 if not ?!; of them 4 are unsuccessful due not to
any action" but because lac* of confidence finds e1pression in
the results. This is due to the phaseEs tendency to model
e1pectations. Aou e1pect nothin% to happen" and so e(en if
you are in the phase 4 nothin% .ill happen. Belie(e that you
.ill do it ri%ht here and no. because you are already in the
phase 4 and en6oy the result- @e are actually already in the
phase upon e(ery a.a*enin%. One can e(en ta*e the
follo.in% approach to this understandin%: .hen .a*in% up"
our tas* is not to enter the phase" but to deepen it. This is
easily obser(ed .ith the techni8ue of sensory4motor
(isuali,ation" .hich essentially consists in performin%
deepenin% .ithout any separation or prior employment of
techni8ues. ThereEs a reason .hy this techni8ue .or*s .ell
for e1perienced practitioners" and no(ices ha(e a hard time
%ettin% it.
(Table of Contents)
457
!RE3T TE3'(!*&ES
The main conclusion that an e1perienced practitioner .ill
come to is that direct techni8ues are actually easy" and not
much more difficult than any other ones. The problems only
lies in understandin% certain subtleties. Ds soon as they
become clear" results are easy to obtain.
Gespite it bein% constantly emphasi,ed that the free4
floatin% state of mind is of decisi(e importance" nearly all
no(ices stubbornly loo* throu%h all the (arious techni8ues in
search of a sil(er bullet. Bo.e(er" an ad(anced practitioner
.ill hardly e(er use techni8ues. Be .ill immediately %o for the
free4floatin% state of mind .ith practically no effort or strain.
ThatEs .hy the same phrase al.ays comes from the mouths
of e1perienced practitioners: CThatEs ri%ht" 0 donEt do anythin%
at all. 0 simply lie do.n and .ait for the phase.C Dnd it 6ust
comes 9!4=!; of the time. This comes in sharp contrast to
some no(ices .ho simply .aste much time and ener%y
ban%in% their heads a%ainst the .all tryin% to lea(e their
bodies" and as a result only #4; of their attempts result in
success" .hich is at best purely incidental.
'etEs ta*e up an e1ample of direct phase entrance by the
ad(anced practitioner. The phaser determines the interestin%
thin%s he .ill do in the phase" lies do.n at bedtime in an
uncomfortable position for sleepin%" and simply tries to fall
asleep .hile holdin% on to the thou%ht that itEd be s.ell to
enter the phase. ThatEs all- Three to ten minutes later" and
heEs already cau%ht a lapse of consciousness into the phase.
$ean.hile" if he felt that he .ould fall asleep 8uic*ly" heEd
use cycles of techni8ues to *eep his conscious mind focused.
0f" on the other hand" his mind .ere e1cessi(ely acti(e" then
he .ould monotonously perform some techni8ue .hile lyin%
in as comfortable a position as possible for sleep. But in most
cases" the 8uintessence of direct techni8ues consists in
attemptin% to fall asleep in an uncomfortable position" all the

.hile ha(in% the thou%ht of the phase in the bac* of oneEs
mind. Or at least thatEs ho. itEs supposed to be" and thatEs
6ust ho. it often .or*s 4 for the simple reason that those are
the best conditions for ha(in% the ri%ht *ind of prere8uisite
lapses in consciousness" on the rebound from .hich the phase
arises. 0f ten or fifteen minutes %o by .ithout result" then the
phaser simply %oes to bed or stops .ith the attempt" as a
direct phase entrance attempt should be done .ith
en6oyment. 0f the phaser is not en6oyin% himself" then thatEs a
si%n that heEs ma*in% mista*es.
$ean.hile" the most important impro(ement a phaser
can ma*e is in his attitude to.ards the end %oal of an
attempt. ThereEs a reason .hy he holds on to the thou%ht"
CitEd be s.ell to enter the phaseC. That should be in the bac*
of his mind" but not at the center of his attention. The
practitioner should be indifferent as to .hether or not
anythin% happens. Be should let %o of control" desire" and the
feelin% that itEs important 4 and then e(erythin% .ill .or*. 0f
he lies do.n to perform a direct techni8ue .ith intense desire
to enter the phase ri%ht then and there and no matter .hat"
then nothin% .ill happen. There .onEt be any phase .ithout a
cool" indifferent attitude. 0f there is an1iety or e1pectation"
nothin% .ill happen. Dn ad(anced practitioner .ould not e(en
attempt direct techni8ues if he felt e1cessi(e an1iety or desire
re%ardin% phase entrance. Be only ma*es attempts .hen heEs
cool and collected" as .ell as more or less indifferent to the
result. Geep do.n" of course" heEs not indifferent. Bis desire is
deeply held 4 it is not of the superficial type that
physiolo%ically interferes .ith obtainin% results. Ds soon as
the practitioner understands the si%nificance of this principal"
the effecti(eness of his phase entrance attempts .ill suddenly
impro(e.
The only e1ception mi%ht be usin% the direct method to
enter the phase in con6unction .ith the deferred method. 0n
this case" the techni8ues can ta*e on substantially more
importance" and deeply4held intention less importance. This
depends on ho. lon% one has been a.a*e after sleepin%.

the more so. The use of non4autonomous methods is al.ays
the lot of those .ho search for an e1traneous solution to their

The deepenin% techni8ues used by an ad(anced
practitioner essentially differ little from those used at the
basic le(el. Bo.e(er" there are t.o fundamental differences
in the .ay these techni8ues are performed. +irst" an
e1perienced phaser .ill prefer to perform deepenin% at the
same time he be%ins to implement his plan of action. That is
to say" he doesnEt do as a no(ice does: separate" deepen" and
then implement the plan of action. 0nstead" he separates and
immediately implements his plan of action" in parallel to
intensifyin% the realness of his sensations. This has beneficial
effect on the 8uality of the deepenin%" and it simply sa(es
time for other thin%s in the phase.
)econd" ad(anced practitioners and no(ices differ in
their intent to deepen and ho. it they reali,e it. 0f" .hen
performin% a deepenin% techni8ue" a no(ice .ill often e1pect
results from the simple fact of mechanically performin% some
action" then an ad(anced phaser .ill perform deepenin%
techni8ues .ith the focused aim and desire of obtainin% a
hyperrealistic phase" as if bein% pulled to.ards it by the
techni8ues themsel(es" all .hile recallin% the sensations of

&erhaps the only thin% that an ad(anced practitioner
mi%ht still ha(e to stru%%le .ith is maintainin% the phase.
(Table of Contents)
461
Bo.e(er" itEs only a stru%%le in a relati(e sense" and more of
a stru%%le for perfection. Dn essential .ay that an
e1perienced phaser differs from a no(ice is that the len%th of
time that he stays in the phase is fully sufficient for his needs.
7o matter ho. lon% he stays in the phase" this duration is
multiplied by his many phase entrances o(er the course of
e(en a sin%le day. Ds a result" he al.ays accomplishes all of
the tas*s he has set for himself" and often 8uite 8uic*ly. Dnd
if a practitioner accomplishes all his ob6ecti(es" .hy should he
be dissatisfied .ith the duration of a phaseL
The first si%n of an ad(anced practitioner is that he
al.ays has a plan of action for the phase. Dn interestin% and
useful one. Be al.ays *no.s .hat he .ill do in the phase and
ho. he .ill apply it. Be al.ays .ants to enter the phase" as
he al.ays has many thin%s to do in it" e(en if they sometimes
ha(e nothin% to do .ith the physical .orld. $oreo(er" many
ad(anced practitioners underta*e their o.n studies of the
phase" .hich ser(es to further stimulate their o.n practice
and personal de(elopment.
The main problem no(ices ha(e in maintainin% the phase
parado1ically consists in fear of a foul" i.e. an in(oluntary
return to the body. This usually causes them to perform the
maintainin% techni8ues incorrectly" and they nearly al.ays
lac* the intention of maintainin%" not to mention confidence in
their o.n abilities. But this is a decisi(e factor .hen it comes
to maintainin% the phase.
A novice performs maintaining techni/ues in order to not
be returned back to the bod) or not fall asleep, while an
e4perienced practitioner performs maintaining techni/ues in
order to maintain his presence in the phase.
Ds a result" the former is often soundly thro.n out of the
phase" .hile the latter has e1periences that are many times
lon%er and more rela1ed. E(en thin*in% of oneEs o.n body
.hile in the phase is frau%ht .ith the dan%er of returnin% to
it" to say nothin% of techni8ues .hich are focused on the
conscious ability to reenter the body.
(Table of Contents)
462
@hile in the phase and .hen performin% any maintainin%
techni8ue" a practitioner should be e1tremely confident that
he .ill be in the phase for 6ust as lon% as he needs to be.
)uch confidence alone is sufficient to substantially prolon% the
a(era%e phase.
Bo.e(er" .hen maintainin% the phase" ad(anced
practitioners ha(e to face the real issue of *eepin% their
minds out of their bodies 4 and this means false fouls. The
absolute ma6ority of returns to the body from the phase are
false. Gependin% on oneEs personal characteristics and le(el of
practice" from 9! to ?!; of all returns to the body can be
false. ThatEs precisely .hy the mandatory rule is: upon
returnin% to the body" one must try to separate from it a%ain.
E(en .hen follo.in% this rule" the e1perience nonetheless
often ends in a false a.a*enin% that is only reco%ni,ed some
time after the fact.
The problem is partially resol(ed by understandin% that a
return to the body from the phase means nothin% at all. 0f it
happens" itEs but a trifle for oneEs practice not .orthy of the
sli%htest attention. 0f you .ere 6ust in the phase" then it canEt
end so easily or 8uic*ly. An e4perienced practitioner should
alwa)s (alwa)s! tr) to re2enter the phase and do it with as
much self2assurance as possible. And if one is at last unable
to leave the bod) again, then one must perform at least two
realit) checks (h)perconcentration, breathing out through a
pinched nose, looking for inconsistencies, etc., as there is a
high likelihood that one is still nevertheless in the phase.
Reality chec*s alone can prolon% a phase e1perience by up to
! percent. 0n summary" at hi%her le(els of practice" a phaser
must try to re4e1it his body. 0f he is unable to" then he must
perform reality chec*s.
There are se(eral reasons .hy practically all
practitioners ha(e such problems .ith false returns to the
body. One of the main ones is a certain lac* of confidence in
oneEs o.n po.ers .hen maintainin% the phase" .hich is
remedied by intensifyin% oneEs intention and concentration.
Bo.e(er" there is also a certain problem that is practically
(Table of Contents)
463
resistant to controllable solution and is brou%ht about by the
astoundin% characteristics of human consciousness durin%
altered states: false memory.
)ometimes" a cluster of false memories 4 yet 8uite
detailed and emotionally4char%ed ones 4 .ill suddenly appear
in a phaserEs memory durin% a phase e1perience. This
indicates that he has lon% been in the phase" and thus 8uite a
psycholo%ically acceptin% state. Ds a result" a phaser may not
put up much resistance to a foul" or e(en control the foul
himself. Ds soon as he returns to the body" heEll reali,e that
the phase .as actually much shorter than it seemed to his
mind. )ometimes only a detailed analysis can unco(er this
uncommon problem and brin% the practitioner to understand
that he .as not in the phase for the seemin% 9 minutes" but
merely #! seconds. The prescription for this stran%e tric* of
the human mind is ne(ertheless the same: mandatory re4
e1its from the body no matter .hat it seems or .hat one

fact that the limitations of the physical .orld no lon%er al.ays
apply.
APP#!3AT!O(
Gespite the fact that itEs not difficult for an ad(anced
phaser to apply the phase to.ards any .ell4*no.n practical
application" heEs unli*ely to do this often. There are se(eral
reasons for this. +irst" .hen your tally of phase e1periences
numbers in the thousands" and you do it many times per day"
your needs simply cannot *eep up .ith your e1perience.
)imply put" the phaser has already accomplished e(erythin%
that he needed to" and returns to practical application only
rarely. )econd" ad(anced practitioners rarely see the phase
as a means to sol(e some tas* or problem. +or them itEs
simply a life to li(e. Dfter all" .e donEt li(e here in the physical
.orld for the sa*e of achie(in% somethin% in the phase .orld.
@e li(e for this .orld. 0tEs the same .ith the phase. 0tEs %ood"
miraculous" and ma%ical only because it e1ists" and .e can
inhabit it. ThatEs .hy ad(anced practitioners see* nothin% in
the phase. They are content .ith the (ery fact of li(in% in t.o
.orlds.
Obtainin% information from the phase is its most difficult
application. Dll of the other applications present little
difficulty" e(en for moderately ad(anced practitioners.
Bo.e(er" masterin% the s*ill of obtainin% credible information
is a 6ob thatEs ne(er finished.
Techni8ues ha(e been simplified as much as possible
here. Dfter all" techni8ues for obtainin% information are
needed to create intermediaries bet.een the practitioner and
his subconscious mind (or fields of information" as some
belie(e them to be). These intermediaries are necessary in
order to better understand and clearly Csee and hearC the
information. But in the end" all these are intermediaries and

rituals for no(ices .ho donEt understand .hatEs %oin% on
internally. Bo.e(er" they do understand .hatEs %oin% on
e1ternally" and so thereEs no other .ay to e1plain it to them.
0n most cases" an e1perienced phaser .ill use the most clear4
cut .ay of obtainin% information: %ettin% it directly. The
practitionerEs 8uestion is raised as a thou%ht4form" and the
ans.er to it instantly appears in his memory" as if it .ere
somethin% already *no.n. This is similar to the lon%4
reco%ni,ed phenomenon of false memory" but in this case the
memory doesnEt ha(e to be false 4 it can contain truly useful
information. Other.ise" the tas* of findin% somethin% out can
be set before entrance into the phase" and the ans.er to it
can be found in oneEs mind immediately upon separation.
0nfluencin% physiolo%y occurs in the same .ay. The
desired effect is achie(ed not by ta*in% pills or other
measures in the phase" but throu%h directly inducin% it.
$ean.hile" due to the special .ays in .hich the subconscious
mind .or*s" itEs still sometimes recommended to use
additional CcrutchesC in the form of pills or the li*e in order to
increase the effecti(eness of the physical bodyEs reaction.

D hi%h le(el phaser li(es in proper balance bet.een the
practice and real life. This is reflected in a successful and
content physical life that neither interferes .ith the practice
nor detracts from it" but instead enriches it .ith emotion. The
phase enriches physical life" and physical life enriches the
phase. &roblems in day4to4day life ha(e a catastrophic effect
on oneEs practice. Thus" e(en .hen in pursuit of a better
phase practice" one should ne(er for%et the real .orld" .here
consciousness first arose. 0n the same (ein" the phase itself
can be used .ith .ide application for oneEs career or
business.

e1ample" durin% the .or*in% day one must try not to thin* of
the phase" but instead concentrate on more (ital matters.
@hen the time comes to enter into oneEs practice" it is
necessary to turn oneEs attention to only it" and put aside any
pressin% problems. D practitioner .ill feel most comfortable
.hen he clearly separates his t.o li(es" and thus a(oid the
%aps in practice that ine(itably occur unless this philosophy is
follo.ed.
Bo.e(er" this is not to %i(e the impression that
ad(anced phasers must enter the phase e(ery day .ithout
e1ception. They too ta*e brea*s" .hether by choice or due to
e1ternal circumstances. TheyEre sometimes simply not up to it
for physical reasons. On a %ood .ee* theyEll de(ote maybe :4
9 days to it" and be able to enter the phase from : to < times
or more on each of those days. ThatEs about fi(e hundred full4
fled%ed phase e1periences per year" enou%h to ta*e lon%
strides to.ards masterin% the phenomenon.

maintain that they (isit a parallel .orld inhabited by many
Fods. Aet others say that the same Fod that e(eryone tal*s

somethin% a little different is %oin% on.
Conclusion: at least a portion of the accounts of the 'ord

...Thats when it hit me that . was d)ing. . ran to the
living room and saw m)self l)ing on the bed. And .
;umped back into m)selfR
Bo.e(er" you mi%ht ar%ue that .ith all of the abo(e 0
ha(e 6ust pro(ed that there is life after death. Dctually" the
correct deduction is that .e can ha(e near4death e1periences
.ithout the threat of dyin%. $ean.hile" there is one more
*ic*er here. Gurin% my first years of practicin% out4of4body
tra(el" 0 .as sure that my soul .as actually lea(in% my body
and that 0 .as therefore immortal. But after underta*in%
endless e1periments" it turned out that my 3soul5 .as not
tra(ellin% throu%h the physical .orld at all" but throu%hout
somethin% else entirely. 0tJs possible that this is all 6ust a
mental pro6ection" albeit a more realistic one than the
physical .orld. $any belie(e that itJs a parallel .orld. But
thatJs not important here. @hatJs important is that this is a

(ery complicated 8uestion and that many ans.ers are
possible.
Conclusion: itJs possible that near4death e1periences are
important not as proof of life after death" but as e(idence that
.e all ha(e a %reat many more abilities in the physical .orld
than .e are a.are of" e(en if .e only reali,e this in critical
situations. This is reinforced by the fact that any person can
e1perience such a 3near death5 by follo.in% special
techni8ue4based procedures" and .ithout any threat to life or
limb.

Ba(in% had thousands of my o.n out4of4body
e1periences and ha(in% analy,ed those of thousands of
others" 0 can definiti(ely state that the abo(e .ould be a
classic e1ample of a first4time e1it from the body typical for
no(ices.
0tJs (ery li*ely that such phenomena are (ery closely
interrelated. 0tJs possible that they are of one nature. Dnd
thatJs not considerin% hundreds of mystical and occult schools
in .hich the same practice" under the most di(erse names"
stands apart from all the others as the pinnacle of
de(elopment.
D fe. .ords on the mass scale of the phenomenon"
.hich is not .ithout importance. One person in four has
e1perienced lea(in% their body upon fallin% asleep or .a*in%
up. One in three has e1perienced sleep paralysis at least
once. One in t.o has reported ha(in% become conscious .hile
dreamin%. Dnd e(eryone has encountered this hundreds of
times in a superficial or unreco%ni,ed form. +or e1ample" up
to a third of all actions and sensations upon a.a*enin% are
not real. Dnd ho. many times ha(e you .o*en up" done
somethin%" and then %one bac* to sleep" not e(en suspectin%
that none of this occurred in the physical .orldL
By all accounts this is clearly a mass phenomenon" an
ability inherent in each person. 0 can (ouch for this as 0 am
able to teach anyone to ha(e an out4of4body e1perience.
A (EW STAGE !( T'E E$O#&T!O( OF 3O(S3!O&S(ESS
This ability of ours has al.ays accompanied us"
influencin% us all the .hile. But it .asnJt until no. that .e
ha(e loo*ed in the ri%ht direction and finally seen this
elephant in the room" a hitherto secret phenomenon
confoundin% the minds of millions. 0snJt it time .e reco%ni,ed
its due and lo%ical role as the common denominator of a lon%
list of phenomena that had until no. al.ays seemed

503
unrelatedL @ouldnJt the .orld become simpler" and .ouldnJt
.e then understand oursel(es much betterL
Ds it turned out" certain commonalities of se(eral
completely different" but hitherto uncompared" phenomena
became clear and strai%htfor.ard to me" than*s to both my
acti(ities and personal e1perience in the field. 0 couldnEt but
conclude that there .as some common denominator at .or*.
$an has e1traordinary ability to adapt and is constantly
e(ol(in%. Dlthou%h itJs hard to ima%ine no." 6ust se(eral
thousand years a%o our consciousness and self4a.areness
loo*ed totally different. They simply did not e1ist in their no.
familiar form. @hat is %oin% on today can be alternati(ely
interpreted as either natural e(olution or social (cultural)
e(olution.
0tJs entirely possible that conscious a.areness" once
ha(in% de(eloped and then ha(in% proceeded to consume our
entire .a*in% life" is actually e(ol(in% into those states of
consciousness .here it .ould seem to ha(e been impossible:
those occurrin% .hile our body is asleep. To put it bluntly"
consciousness ran out of room in our .a*in% mind and
continues its e1pansion into the brain. There is only one piece
of e(idence of this process: half of all people report
e1periencin% #!!; conscious a.areness flarin% up into their
dreams.
$ean.hile" another ta*e on the ori%in of the out4of4body
phenomenon loo*s to fundamental transformations in science
and culture. E(en three or four hundred years a%o" the
a(era%e le(el of intelli%ence .as hardly one4half of .hat it is
today. Than*s to modern education systems" enormous floods
of information" and li%htnin%4fast communication" our
conscious minds ha(e had to use their resources to their full
capacities. &erhaps those capacities are not enou%h. Our
craniums are o(erfull" and perhaps thatJs .hy consciousness
is o(erflo.in% to .here it seemin%ly .asnJt meant to be or
couldnJt ha(e been. @ith the o(erloads introduced by modern
society" it simply has no.here left to %o. ThatJs .hy

dreamin% occurs increasin%ly often. 0t also happened in the
past" but rarely. But no. itJs ta*in% on an incessant nature.
By all accounts" .e are no. at the brea*throu%h sta%e of
a ne. era: the entrenchment of a ne. state of mind and
consciousness" .hich has become the ne1t lo%ical outcome of
human e(olution.
Children" .ith their predisposition for out4of4body
e1periences" deser(e special attention. $ost adults simply
for%et that ha(in% out4of4body e1periences .as the norm for
them durin% early childhood. 0J(e met many people o(er the
course of my practice .ho remember ho. often it happened
for them at an early a%e. 0J(e had the opportunity to spea*
.ith children .ho maintain that they .ere able to do it on
command before they could e(en spea*" but that later it
started happenin% increasin%ly rarely .ith a%e and that they
%radually for%ot about it. This spea*s either for the natural
e(olution of consciousness" or" con(ersely" for re%ressionO
Either .ay" .e may turn our attention to this ne. state
of consciousness that .e ha(e. Dnd it has possibly 6ust be%un
to de(elop. 0f earlier .e only had three primary and
completely different states 4 .a*efulness" RE$ sleep" and
non4RE$ sleep 4 then no. .e ha(e somethin% in4bet.een
.a*efulness and RE$ that includes features of both. The first
steps in scientifically pro(in% the e1istence of this state .ere
ta*en by )tephen 'aBer%e at )tanford 2ni(ersity in the
be%innin% of the #?>!s. D successful e1periment .as
conducted re%ardin% consciousness .hile dreamin%.
$ean.hile" today it is clear that the e1perimentJs result has
implications for a far %reater number of phenomena. 0t has
become fully apparent that consciousness .hile dreamin% is
practically the same thin% as out4of4body tra(el" but that it
occurs as a result of different method. Dnd .e ha(e already
identified spontaneous e1it from the body in a .hole sle. of
phenomena.
Bo.e(er" .hen you see the .ord 3dreamin%5 in the
conte1t of all of the abo(e" donJt thin* that e1periencin% the
phenomenon itself feels li*e bein% in a dream. @e ha(e
(Table of Contents)

identified a .hole number of cases in .hich super4realistic
sensations made people thin* that they .ere dyin%" seein%
Fod" or encounterin% aliens. The term 3hyper4realism5 is
often brou%ht in to describe the e1perience: in most e1its
from the body" e(ery sensation is so hei%htened that the
physical .orld seems li*e a faint dream in comparison.
0 ha(e no interest at all in discussin% .here .e actually
%o .hen .e lea(e our bodies. $y tas* is only to inform people
of the opportunity to do so and to teach them ho. to ta*e
ad(anta%e of it. $ean.hile" practitioners can decide for
themsel(es .hat is actually %oin% on. )ome belie(e that they
are tra(ellin% in spirit form throu%h the physical .orld. Others
hold that their soul tra(els about parallel .orlds. )till others
consider it all to be only a mental state.
T'E F&T&RE
0t is entirely possible that .e .ill all be li(in% in t.o
.orlds .ithin a certain period of time. 0n fact" practitioners of
out4of4body tra(el and lucid dreamin% already do. But here
.eJre not discussin% the practice" but rather an ordinary
ability that .ill be completely normal for us.
+or e1ample" .hen someone %oes to bed in the e(enin%
or in the afternoon" he .ill easily be able to lea(e his body
immediately and then do a .hole number of interestin%
thin%s. Dnd before mornin% a.a*enin%" he .ill sometimes be
able to consciously spend time outside of his physical body"
and then return to it. &ractically spea*in%" .e .ould ha(e to
: e1tra hours in our li(es each day. Considerin% the
hypertrophied perception of time outside of the body" those
t.o hours .ould be more li*e a double life. @e should call it
nothin% other than li(in% in t.o .orlds at once. Dnd this .ill
be a completely ordinary phenomenon.
Bo. lon% .ill this process ta*e and .hen .ill it become
natural for all of humanityL &erhaps a fe. decades. $aybe a
century or another millennium. That means that in any case
.e .ill ha(e to .ait for the passin% of a number of

%enerations for this ability to become inborn and normal for
e(eryone. Bo.e(er" than*s to techni8ue4based procedures it
is already accessible to all. 0t only re8uires a certain amount
of effort. Dll of the instructions are a(ailable on my .ebsite at
....obe4u.com.
@e .ill use this s*ill for the most di(erse purposes"
.hich are already a reality for out4of4body tra(el
practitioners: tra(ellin% in time and spaceH meetin% any
person" li(in% or deceasedH obtainin% informationH self4
healin%H artistic applications" entertainment" and much more.
0n essence" a ne. .orld is openin% up in front of us" the one
.hich .e read about in fairy tales. 0t is limitless and ideal"
there all thin%s are possible and accessible. Dnd this is all .ith
full conscious a.areness and .ith bodily perceptions more
(i(id than in the physical .orld. &erhaps this is hea(en itselfL
)ome belie(e that .e enter some parallel .orld .hen
e1itin% the body" one .here e(erythin% is controlled by
informational fields and other such thin%s. D pra%matic
position .ould lean more in fa(or of callin% it a ne.ly
de(elopin% mental state and for all e(ents in it bein%
controlled by our o.n e1ceedin%ly po.erful subconscious"
.hich .ields fantastic computational resources. 7o
supercomputer has a fraction of the computational po.er of
our o.n subconscious mind. )eein% it in action .ill electrify
you. This is such a profound state that the ancients seemed to
ha(e ascribed its occurrence to Fod. This .as nearly directly
alluded to in *ey Bible (erses that specify the ideal time for
