TREATISE ON ASTRAL PROJECTIONVolume I - v1.1Part 1
ByRobert Bruce
 
Copyright© 19 April 1994. All rights reserved.
This is part one of a series of articles that will endeavor to define the astral world and theprojection process.Please keep in mind, while reading v1.x of this Treatise, that it was my first attempt atserious 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 haveattempted, by careful observation and critical thinking, to understand it, and hopefully, toshed a little light on it.Everybody, without exception, leaves their body in a low powered projection, when theygo to sleep. I call this sleep projection. The astral body hovers a few inches above thephysical 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 dreamconsciousness of the world. This ‘dream pool’ settles into layers. According to whattype of person you are, spiritual, moral advancement etc, you will tune in to a level youhave affinity with. These levels are commonly called the ‘Planes’ or sub Planes. Thereis nothing wrong with this analogy except that it can confuse things when you try to graspthe whole concept.If you become aware during sleep projection you can take some control over it as in alucid dream, and move amongst the levels. If you do take control though, you cannotreturn to the real world and function as an astral form in it. You are in the topsy-turvyworld of the dream pool or astral planes, where everything is possible, but not veryplausible.When you do a ‘fully conscious’ projection of the astral form you project into thephysical world, not any astral world. This has long been misunderstood. What is usuallythought of as astral projection today is better called ‘Lucid Dreaming’ which iscompletely different.Many authors suggest we all race about the universe in AP every night. This is simplynot true. You will find the world a lonely place in your astral form and will rarely seeanyone 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 andWonderland Effect’ It is an effective barrier to the untrained mind.In the astral form you have an incredibly strong creative ability, normally used to createdreams. 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 themisunderstandings 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 mostcases, 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, noprivacy, 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 andwell known things will be found in wrong places. Doors, windows, furniture; extrarooms will appear etc. Your subconscious mind has started creating or you are tuning intoa dream plane. Once this happens it is impossible to know what is real any more. Someof the dream pool levels, or planes, are a carbon copy of the real world. You may tuneinto one of them and think you are projecting in the real world - until you meet aCheshire 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 Westernconcept of astral projection. They are different levels of consciousness, not planes assuch. When you AP you don’t raise your consciousness, it is the same as when you areawake. These ‘higher’ levels can only be reached by raising your consciousness; youcan’t just project into them. It is a different kind of ‘projection’. I have been in thesehigher levels but it is difficult to explain them, they really have to be experienced. Theyare normally reached during deep meditation.In order to reach these higher levels, some clairvoyant ability is required. This can bedeveloped, or natural ability.---------- Robert Bruce -------------rsb@tower.com.au----------Your comments, experiences and requests for help and advice are most welcome.

TREATISE ON ASTRAL PROJECTION 
Volume I - v1.1
Part 2

.Astral Projection (AP’) is an automatic reflex, built in to your body and mind. To triggerit, 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 theautomatic projection reflex for a full powered AP’. There are a few minor conditionsbut these can be varied to suit your experience and surroundings.
Relaxation
: You must ‘master’ a full body relaxation exercise. If you know one alreadyit can be adapted to suit. Sit in a ‘chair’ and relax. Starting with the feet, tense them andrelax 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 slowlythroughout 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. Tryand ‘feel’ them relaxing and soothing you. Continue this up through the center of yourtorso, paying particular attention to the chakras. The mental hands technique will alsoget you used to shifting your point of consciousness to different parts of your body. Tryand 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 isthe natural path of the psychic/life energy that flows through you. With practice you willactually ‘feel’ this energy tingling and surging through you. It will literally ‘charge’ youup like a battery.
Chakras
: These are situated at: 1. The base of the spine (between the anus and thegenitals) 2. The spleen (slightly below the belly button) 3. The solar plexus (1 hand-spanabove 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.
