To
Leave the Body
'Tis not wise to strive
to get out of your body until you have
thoroughly gained the
Sight. The same ritual as to gain the Sight may
be used, but have a
comfortable couch. Kneel so that you have your
thigh, belly and chest
well supported, the arms strained forward and
bound one on each side,
so that there is a decided feeling of being
pulled forward. As
the trance is induced, you should feel a striving to
push yourself out of
the top of your head. The scourge should be given
a dragging action,
as if to drive or drag you out. Both wills should be
thoroughly in tune,
keeping a constant and equal strain. When trance
comes, your tutor may
help you by softly calling your name. You will
probably feel yourself
drawn out of your body as if through a narrow
opening, and find yourself
standing beside your tutor, looking at the
body on the couch.
Strive to communicate with your tutor first; if they
have the Sight they
will probably see you. Go not far afield at first,
and 'tis better to
have one who is used to leaving the body with you.
A note:
When, having succeeded in leaving the body,
you desire to
return, in order to
cause the spirit body and the material body to
coincide, THINK
OF YOUR FEET. This will cause the return to
take place.
