Astral Projection - You Can Do It Too
.......says Jerry Gross
The Doorway To A New Dimension The concept of astral projection has been around
for a long time, but until today, it has been hidden from most of humanity. Now,
with the aid of astral projection, new levels of knowledge and power enable us
to discover the answer to Man's eternal question about life in the physical
body. Death takes on a new meaning as we begin to realize that it is only a
transition to another dimension, or place of existence. By learning to astral
project, we can learn many things about ourselves, and unlearn many things that
were previously thought to be true. This leads us to the realization that our
physical bodies are only a part of our entire selves, and there is more to our
existence than meets the eye!
Teaching others to succeed in this is my goal...... In our limited awareness,
the reality we live and breathe on earth, with its beautiful landscapes,
mountains, rivers, streams, animals and insects, can be compared with the petals
on a flower. What we see is not the whole flower, but only a part. This is
because man has lost touch with the use of his own mind. He concludes,
erroneously, that the physical world is the only reality there is. He believes
that his life as an individual has only to do with the flesh body of himself,
and concludes that the physical world is solid and real because his senses tell
him it "feels" solid and real. The mind has abilities that go beyond the five
senses of the physical world. The petal of the flower that we now experience is
the material world or physical plane of existence. It has a specific vibration,
just as all creatures on this level vibrate at the same rate. Because of this,
regardless of where we go on this level, all things take on the appearance of
being solid, material objects. Just as the colors of the rainbow show the
effects of the different vibrations of light, and the melodies on the piano show
the effect of the different notes, so, too, does the entire universe contain
various octaves, or rates of vibration. These universal harmonics comprise the
different levels of existence.
My Interests all of my life have been with the psychic and spiritual fields.
So the earth plane we live on is only one of many dimensions. There are other
spheres that we describe as being above or below us. Actually, they are not
really above or below us, but rather at all times around us, permeating all
things. Astral projection allows us to discover that the people and objects
existing on these other realms can be just as solid and real as any object on
the earth terrain. And if we happened to be in another level, looking back
"down" into this region, we would view an earth that was not solid. Right now,
at every instant, we are living, coexisting with, and walking through people and
objects of another dimension! When a person astral projects, he or she can see
these other frontiers.
When we were born into this physical world, we were provided with a
physical body to carry out our duties. Astral projection allows us to project
"out of the body" and into the next plane of existence, which is the astral
plane. When we do this, we are in another body, which is called the "astral
body." We already possess this astral body, just as all other people, animals,
creatures and everything on earth possess an astral body.
The astral body has some amazing properties. Unlike the physical body, which
is held down by gravity, the astral body can overcome this limitation by the
effort of thought alone. While out of the body, we can not only walk around as
if in the physical, but also soar above the trees, or go out into space. Another
property of the astral body is that it cannot be injured. One of the greatest
fears while on earth is pain or injury. While out of the body, this normal human
reaction can be unlearned, because there is absolutely nothing that will cause
damage to the astral body! In the next dimension, fire, knives, guns, falling
from great heights, electrical shocks, disease, wild animals or being run over
by a steam roller can do no harm. Many people receive lessons about this in
their dreams. Watch for them, because you'll discover that you always survive
don't you?
In this next level of existence, which all of us can visit, there are many
familiar things, such as cars, trains, planes, and highways. Everything that is
on this earth right now comes from the astral plane. Many people get this
backwards. They think the astral dimension was molded from earth. The truth is,
the earth was fashioned from the ideas and discoveries which originated on the
astral.
When we are out of the body, communication is accomplished by thought. Another
word for this is telepathy. In other words, it is not necessary to move our lips
in order to be heard, although we can do this if we wish. Sometimes, when we
hear what we think is just a thought, this could actually be someone
communicating to us from the astral.
This next plane of existence has been sought after, researched, and argued
about by philosophers and religious people from time immemorial. Until now, it
has remained elusive and has evaded discovery to all but the most diligent. The
individual who looks within instead of without, who looks to correct his own
imperfections, and who treats others as he wishes to be treated will have the
door of discovery swing wide open for him.
When we begin to explore this, we must first overcome the obstacle of fear,
which will present itself in many forms. The fear of death, pain, injury, the
unknown, evil, devils, hell and Satan may loom up before us. We must conquer our
own fears head on, and they will rapidly disappear.
We are mental creators, and out of the ether of the next dimension, we can
create that which we wish around us. If we are convinced a devil is out there to
trick or deceive us, and if we have already pictured in our minds what this
devil looks like and what he plans on doing, we should really not be surprised
when our worst fears are confirmed. The devils we create become real and solid
in the next dimension because we created them.
In the astral plane, we can meet those we love, or that which we fear. If we
have no fear, we won't meet fear. It's as simple as that. So we can save
ourselves trouble by putting nonsense like that out of our mind. Remember there
is nothing that can harm us while we are out of our bodies. This teaching of
fear has held people in mental bondage long enough! Its exposure is sure to
cause a fury in those who have become trapped in the habit of their own
thinking. We must release ourselves from the death grip of fear and set
ourselves free. In the astral plane, we can also visit our loved ones who have
passed on before us. We can then ask them face-to-face how they like their new
surroundings. We can see schools and universities, and may even find ourselves
in a classroom, listening to a lecture.
This is also where we can discover the history of the world, and the history
of our lives. The "Hall of Records" contains our present lives as well as our
past. In it, are recorded our accomplishments and our failures. We can meet our
spiritual teachers which the churches have termed our "guardian angels" and we
can ask them for advice and guidance on our problems.
The astral plane is a vast dimension of existence, and contains life in
abundance. It does not operate by the very same laws of the earth plane, and so
many things that are quite impossible on earth, are quite commonplace in the
astral. Mind over matter is common. Colors are more beautiful, and we may
experience endless fascination with new and exciting things that there are to
see and discover.
For many centuries, the teachings of certain churches have been that some
things are mysteries and are not to be questioned. Eve eating from the tree of
knowledge and the subsequent expulsion from the Garden of Eden was sighted as
proof. This erroneous interpretation was made by those who were ignorant, or by
those who wanted to keep the masses of people in subjugation. Man's redemption
in the final analysis will come from his knowledge of himself and his love of
his neighbor, not from his ignorance.
The astral plane contains many things that are not on earth at this time. Some
of them may appear in the future on earth, and some are from the earth's past.
Many different types of animals that have become extinct on earth exist in the
astral. Remember, there is no death.
Astral projection enables us to use the part of our mind that has been dormant
or sleeping. We can wake up this part and put it to work. It is called the
subconscious, and it can be used to give us the knowledge we need to find out
more about ourselves, our purpose on earth, and our relationship with God. Most
people think of their mind as only that portion they recognize as their
conscious mind, or waking mind. It has been said that the mind is ten percent
conscious, and ninety percent subconscious. We can learn to expand this ten
percent.
Everyone goes to the astral plane at night while they are asleep. Think of
this! Astral projection takes place without a person even being aware of it! As
strange and hard to believe as this sounds, it is true. To begin exploring
astral projection, pay attention to your dreams each night. Eventually, you will
come to the realization that you were in the astral plane, but did not realize
it.
When we take the first step, of allowing for the possibility of multiple
dimensions and astral projection as realities, we can then focus on ways to
understand, explore, and actually experience these things. In doing so, we can
open the door to an amazing and expansive existence that was heretofore beyond
our wildest imagination!
