002 — Gnosis: The Astral Projection
In the vast tapestry of esoteric knowledge, there exists a natural phenomenon that occurs with all of us, though often without our full awareness. This phenomenon is astral projection, also known as astral travel or out-of-body experience (OBE). While the terms may vary, the underlying principle remains the same: the conscious separation of the physical body while entering the astral plane, a dimension that transcends the limitations of space and time.
As we descend into sleep, without realizing it, our consciousness separates from the physical body, and we begin to act on a different plane of existence. Unfortunately, for the vast majority of humanity, this separation occurs unconsciously, leaving us unaware of the vast experiences and wisdom available in the astral plane. Our consciousness, dulled by illusion, prevents us from realizing the true potential of this state.
However, there is a way to achieve conscious astral projection, a path that has been handed down by the Gnostic Masters and which is revealed through the sacred teachings of Master Yeshua Ha’Meshiach. This is not merely an isolated mystical phenomenon, but a powerful tool for self-discovery, for unveiling the deepest mysteries of the Self and the Universe.
The Nature of Astral Projection
The essence of astral projection lies in the fact that every human being possesses, in addition to the physical body, a series of subtle bodies that operate on different dimensions. These bodies — the physical, vital, astral, and mental — form the basis of our multidimensional existence. While the physical body rests and is revitalized during sleep, the astral body separates, traveling in the astral plane.
In this state, we can experience reality in a completely different way, where time does not exert the same dominance as it does in the physical plane. In the astral plane, we can freely explore the mysteries of life and death, the secrets of the universe, and even enter temples of wisdom to receive teachings directly from the Masters.
Master Yeshua Ha’Meshiach, in His sublime teachings, repeatedly emphasized the importance of “awakening.” This awakening is not limited to our physical, daily life, but also extends to awakening in the astral plane, enabling us to consciously operate beyond the limitations of the physical body.
Awakening Consciousness in the Astral
The true goal of studying astral projection is not merely to satisfy spiritual curiosity, but to empower us to act consciously in the astral plane. Upon awakening our consciousness, we become masters of our experiences, able to access higher knowledge that otherwise remains hidden in the illusion of unconscious dreams.
However, achieving conscious astral projection is not something that occurs automatically for most people. The majority of us enter the astral plane unconsciously, repeating daily patterns, without the awareness that we are in a different dimension. These mechanical dreams are reflections of our daily emotions and thoughts, projected into the astral world.
The key to conscious astral projection lies in awakening our consciousness in the physical plane. The more awake we are in our daily lives — aware of our thoughts, emotions, and actions — the more easily we can control and direct our experiences in the astral plane.
Techniques for Astral Projection
There are various techniques that can help us master astral projection. The most powerful method, however, is the awakening of consciousness. Those who fully awaken their consciousness do not need specific techniques to perform astral projections, as the process becomes natural. For those still on the path to awakening, there are practices that can facilitate this transition:
1. The practice of heart concentration: One of the most effective ways to achieve conscious astral projection is to focus deeply on the heart before sleeping. After fully relaxing the body, one should fall asleep focused on the heartbeat, with the firm intention of leaving the body in the astral. By focusing our attention on the heart, without mental distractions, we allow the astral body to consciously separate from the physical body.
2. Living a balanced and harmonious life: Negative emotions, excesses, and daily stress can hinder success in astral projection. We must cultivate a life of balance, harmony, and serenity so that our energies flow freely, allowing the practice to succeed.
3. Prayer and supplication to the Divine Father-Mother: Before attempting astral projection, it is essential to offer a sincere supplication to our Divine Father-Mother. Praying with a pure heart, asking for protection and guidance, aligns us with divine forces and ensures our safety during the practice.
4. The jump technique: Upon feeling the signs of leaving the body, such as tingling or the sound of buzzing, we should try to move slowly and attempt to sit up in bed, followed by a small jump with the intention of floating. If we float, we are in the astral plane. If not, we should restart the practice.
The Importance of Astral Projection in Spiritual Pursuit
For seekers of truth and wisdom, astral projection is an indispensable practice. Through it, we can investigate for ourselves the hidden secrets of the universe, meet Masters, and receive direct teachings without intermediaries. It is in the astral plane that many of the greatest spiritual revelations occur, and it is through this practice that we gain a deeper understanding of our own spiritual path.
Moreover, conscious astral projection offers us the opportunity to investigate the truth behind many illusions that surround us in the physical plane. We can discover who we truly are, confront our own egos and defects, and work directly on the spiritual transformation necessary to attain liberation.
The Journey of Awakening
Astral projection is just one aspect of the great inner work we are called to undertake. It is a powerful means of expanding our consciousness and drawing closer to Divine Truth. However, we must remember that, for this practice to have true value, it must be aligned with the awakening of our consciousness in the physical plane.
Master Yeshua Ha’Meshiach taught us that the path to the Kingdom of Heaven is within us. The practice of conscious astral projection is one of many ways we can access this inner kingdom, where wisdom, light, and truth reside eternally.
Therefore, let each seeker commit to diligently working toward the awakening of their consciousness. Let the techniques of astral projection be practiced with reverence and patience, and let the knowledge revealed in the astral plane be used for spiritual growth and the elevation of all humanity.
May the Great and Powerful Presence I AM illuminate our path, guide us on our journey, and lead us to the full realization of our divine nature. May we always walk in harmony with the truth, and may the astral plane reveal the sacred mysteries that await us beyond the veils of illusion. So be it, in the name of Yeshua Ha’Meshiach!
