TREATISE ON ASTRAL PROJECTION

Volume I - v1.1

Part 1

Robert Bruce

This is part one of a series of articles that will endeavor to define the astral world and the

projection process.

Please keep in mind, while reading v1.x of this Treatise, that it was my first attempt at

serious writing. That is, I was learning to write while writing them.

I have been studying the astral plane, in my astral form, for most of my life. I have

attempted, by careful observation and critical thinking, to understand it, and hopefully, to

shed a little light on it.

Everybody, without exception, leaves their body in a low powered projection, when they

go to sleep. I call this sleep projection. The astral body hovers a few inches above the

physical like a balloon on a string, mimicking the sleeping position and going no further.

Once the astral body has separated, it is free to create dreams. This is the natural (sleep,

dream) process we are all familiar with. During this, you sink into the collective dream

consciousness of the world. This ‘dream pool’ settles into layers. According to what

type of person you are, spiritual, moral advancement etc, you will tune in to a level you

have affinity with. These levels are commonly called the ‘Planes’ or sub Planes. There

is nothing wrong with this analogy except that it can confuse things when you try to grasp

the whole concept.

If you become aware during sleep projection you can take some control over it as in a

lucid dream, and move amongst the levels. If you do take control though, you cannot

return to the real world and function as an astral form in it. You are in the topsy-turvy

world of the dream pool or astral planes, where everything is possible, but not very

plausible.

When you do a ‘fully conscious’ projection of the astral form you project into the

physical world, not any astral world. This has long been misunderstood. What is usually

thought of as astral projection today is better called ‘Lucid Dreaming’ which is

completely different.

Many authors suggest we all race about the universe in AP every night. This is simply

not true. You will find the world a lonely place in your astral form and will rarely see

anyone else projecting there. If you do see someone, often they are just standing,

confused and befuddled, caught in a ‘between’ state of projecting and creating. This is

what happens when you lose control during a conscious OBE. I call it ‘The Alice and

Wonderland Effect’ It is an effective barrier to the untrained mind.

In the astral form you have an incredibly strong creative ability, normally used to create

dreams. Once free of the fetters of the physical world, you can create an entire world,

and often do. This creative ability is the problem, and the cause, of all the

misunderstandings about AP.

There is a natural barrier in AP just as there is with any other form of psychic ability.

The ‘Alice’ effect, limits projection time in the real world to a few minutes, in most

cases, unless you can control your mind and energy level well. If there was not a barrier -

think about it - millions of people flitting around the world every day and night, no

privacy, no secrets. This would be a very unhappy world to live in.

What happens during a fully conscious AP if you can’t control your mind and energy?

Well, at some point during the AP you will start to lose control over the experience and

well known things will be found in wrong places. Doors, windows, furniture; extra

rooms will appear etc. Your subconscious mind has started creating or you are tuning into

a dream plane. Once this happens it is impossible to know what is real any more. Some

of the dream pool levels, or planes, are a carbon copy of the real world. You may tune

into one of them and think you are projecting in the real world - until you meet a

Cheshire cat.

One final thing, the Eastern concept of the levels; physical, astral, mental, Buddhic,

Atmic etc is very real. They have been confused though and mixed in with the Western

concept of astral projection. They are different levels of consciousness, not planes as

such. When you AP you don’t raise your consciousness, it is the same as when you are

awake. These ‘higher’ levels can only be reached by raising your consciousness; you

can’t just project into them. It is a different kind of ‘projection’. I have been in these

higher levels but it is difficult to explain them, they really have to be experienced. They

are normally reached during deep meditation.

In order to reach these higher levels, some clairvoyant ability is required. This can be

developed, or natural ability.

Volume I - v1.1

Part 2

Robert Bruce

Astral Projection (AP’) is an automatic reflex, built in to your body and mind. To trigger

it, while fully conscious, there are three major requirements.

1. The ability to relax your body 100% and stay awake.

2. You have to be able to shift your consciousness point outside

of your body.

3. You need enough mental and psychic energy to maintain control

over the projection and not slip into the dream state. Together, these will trigger the

automatic projection reflex for a full powered AP’. There are a few minor conditions

but these can be varied to suit your experience and surroundings.

Relaxation : You must ‘master’ a full body relaxation exercise. If you know one already

it can be adapted to suit. Sit in a ‘chair’ and relax. Starting with the feet, tense them and

relax them. Continue this with calves, thighs, hips, stomach, chest, arms, neck and face.

Go over this a few times until you feel completely relaxed. Breathe deeply and slowly

throughout this and try to become ‘aware’ of the breath entering and leaving your body.

Mental hands : Imagine you have a pair of ‘mental hands’. Stroke yourself with these

‘hands’ in an upward motion from your feet and up your legs, over and over again. Try

and ‘feel’ them relaxing and soothing you. Continue this up through the center of your

torso, paying particular attention to the chakras. The mental hands technique will also

get you used to shifting your point of consciousness to different parts of your body. Try

and put as much of yourself as you can into these mental hands.

Energy raising : As you pull upwards through your legs with your mental hands,

imagine you are gripping the energy that flows there and pull it up through you. This is

the natural path of the psychic/life energy that flows through you. With practice you will

actually ‘feel’ this energy tingling and surging through you. It will literally ‘charge’ you

up like a battery.

Chakras : These are situated at: 1. The base of the spine (between the anus and the

genitals) 2. The spleen (slightly below the belly button) 3. The solar plexus (1 hand-span

above the belly button) 4. The heart (center of the chest) 5. The throat. 6. Forehead. 7.

Crown (full top of your head). They are best imagined as roughly the size of your hand.

Chakra stimulation : Chakras are centers for the transformation of energy. Each chakra

transforms the raw life energy of the planet into a different type. As you pull this energy

up through you with your mental hands, stop at each chakra and imagine your mental

hands opening it. Pull the energy up through it to the next one and so on. Repeat this a

few times, you may not feel anything at first but with practice you will feel a fluttering or

pulsing under your skin.

Stop Check : Keep checking your muscles for any tensioning throughout these exercises

and re-relax as needed. A common problem is the automatic tensing of muscles as you

pull energy up through you. Remember, this is all mental; the body must stay dormant

and relaxed throughout this.

Point shift : To shift your point of consciousness, imagine you are a foot or two out in

front of yourself. NOT a figure in front of you but YOU are in front of your physical

body. Keep in mind you physical body being behind you. This is tricky but you will get

used to it quickly. Don’t tense or strain any muscles during this, your body will try to

obey you ‘physically’, don’t let it.

Mental state : Your surface mind will be fully occupied by these exercises so no mental

exercise is needed up to this point. When you feel Breath awareness: ‘Feel’ your breath

coming in and ‘feel’ it going out. With the inhale, ‘pull’ energy up from the base chakra

to your heart chakra with your mental hands. Note: If you feel any vibration start in your

body at this point, and don’t want to project yet, move your head slightly, and gently

sway your body into normal alertness.

These exercises should be carried out daily. Some of them can be done anywhere and

anytime you have a few minutes to spare. You will, in time, condition your body to

respond quickly and easily. With practice you will be able to attain a state of ‘total

relaxation’ in just a few minutes. This training will reduce the amount of effort needed,

and the fatigue produced, when you attempt a fully conscious AP.

TREATISE ON ASTRAL PROJECTION

Volume I - v1.1

Part 3

Robert Bruce

This article will deal with actually leaving the body (AP’). If you have read the previous

two parts - and I strongly recommend you do - you will have some understanding of the

AP’ process. I will go into more detail on related subjects, i.e.: duality, multiple bodies,

paralysis, the psychic wind, long distance AP’, fear, astral sex, ethics, entering other

bodies, astral entities, limitations to AP’, thought forms, healing, problems, and other

topics in subsequent articles.

Note: The projection method I use and describe here is slightly different to what is

called AP’ today. It is how to do a ‘fully conscious’ projection of the astral body into the

real world - not the astral world. This is equivalent to a safe (near death experience).

Conditions:

Stated here are the IDEAL conditions for AP’. Some of them can be varied according to

your circumstances and needs.

You need a quiet room where you will be undisturbed. If background noise is a

problem, tune a TV or radio - off station - to provide white noise, which will blanket it. I

advise against music. Make sure the temperature is comfortable as you will tend to lose

body heat during AP’.

The light must be soft and fairly dim, not dark. The burning of incense, while not

necessary, helps condition your body to relax. If you use incense, use one type

exclusively for AP’, and use that type for no other purpose.

You need a comfortable chair with arm and neck support. This can be a lounge chair or

of the recliner type. AP is much more successful when done from a SITTING position.

The chair must be slightly reclined to stop the head rocking forward. A phone book

under the front of it will do. A pillow is needed for the feet, and sometimes a small

pillow or towel behind the neck. The type of neck pillow used on aircraft are good. Play

around with this until you are 100% comfortable. Note: wear loose clothing.

If you must use a bed, say you are unable to sit due to illness, injury or circumstance,

prop yourself up in bed with pillows, as you would when you eat. As I have said, any of

this can be dispensed with according to your needs and circumstances. I am giving you

here the optimum conditions for AP’.

Tiredness:

To AP’ you don’t want to be too tired. The state needed is that found after you have

exercised, showered, had your evening meal and relaxed for an hour or so. A feeling of
