This chapter provides a brief historical outline of the Kabbalah. The Kabbalah is part of the ancient Jewish mystical tradition and refers to secret teachings that were orally transmitted from God to angels and then to Adam. The teachings were then passed down through Abraham and eventually formed into written texts, though the Kabbalah began as purely oral teachings. The chapter establishes the Kabbalah as a secret oral tradition predating other Jewish religious texts and traditions.
The document discusses various experiences that may occur near death or after death, based on accounts of people who have been clinically dead and revived. These include: reliving one's life in flashes as memories play out; seeing a bright light that pulls one towards it accompanied by feelings of love and peace; having an out of body experience where one can see their lifeless body from above; seeing deceased relatives greeting each other; feeling very calm and at peace; seeing angels providing care and support; and undergoing a life review process.

This document provides an introduction to an online class about astral projection. It discusses:
1. What astral projection is, defining it as an altered state of consciousness similar to dreaming where one's consciousness can leave the physical body.
2. Different views on astral projections, including occult views which see it as the projection of one's consciousness to the astral plane, and scientific views which have various perspectives.
3. Key concepts in the occult view, including that consciousness transcends the physical body, there are multiple planes of existence, and humans have multiple "bodies" or vehicles to interact with different planes, including an astral body.
The document provides an introduction to the topic of auras from various perspectives. It discusses how auras have been described throughout history in various spiritual traditions and more recently in scientific research. While the concept of auras may be dismissed by some as pseudoscience, empirical research by organizations like the HeartMath Institute have found measurable electromagnetic fields and interactions between people, proving auras cannot be fully dismissed. The document also notes that while many perspectives on auras exist, exploring this complexity can provide a rich journey of continual discovery into this fascinating topic.
The document discusses the occult, which involves studying hidden or secret knowledge. It covers various occult practices like divination, spirit contact, altered states of consciousness, and manipulating energies. Common occult beliefs include monism, pantheism, polytheism, and that there are no absolute truths. Astrology, which dates back thousands of years, is analyzed in terms of its methodology and why some believe it works despite scientific studies finding no correlation. The history and methodology of the black mass ceremony, which parodies the Catholic mass, is also outlined.
This document introduces Kabbalah as a method for developing additional senses beyond the five physical senses to perceive the external world independently from one's ego. It explains that our normal perception is limited to processing external forces through our senses, giving us only a subjective internal picture of reality. Kabbalah allows one to perceive things in the external world before they enter our senses, developing an objective perception beyond our internal sensations. It presents Kabbalah as an ancient scientific method with a systematic methodology and psychology for attaining a higher level of perception to understand reality beyond our normal subjective experience.
Esoteric astrology looks at the soul and causes rather than just effects. It uses the seven rays - streams of energy from cosmic sources that condition all life. These rays, along with astrological influences, help describe the qualities of planets, signs, and people, allowing understanding of their interactions. Determining one's ray structure involves reflection on virtues and vices associated with each ray. Esoteric astrology provides insight into relationships on human, planetary and other levels as the science of all sciences.
The document provides an overview of the 7 major chakras according to Hindu texts and spiritual psychology. It describes the location, color, and key functions of each chakra, from the root chakra at the base of the spine to the crown chakra at the top of the head. It explains how early life experiences can influence the opening or closing of different chakras and discusses psychological and spiritual approaches to healing imbalances.
THE CYCLES OF DIVINE CREATION & THE UNIVERSAL MATHEMATICAL MATRIXWilliam John Meegan
This article is about a system of Astrological Cycles: i.e. Cycles of Divine Creation, I discovered through meditation on the Judeao Christian Scriptures in the first and second chapters of Genesis initiated in January 1977. Over the past thirty-eight years, off and on, I have been working to put a conceptual understanding to these cycles. Finally, this article goes back to the genesis of my discovery up to the present article.
The document discusses the science of spirituality and how it relates to but goes beyond traditional science. It describes how spirituality can be studied scientifically using methods like forming hypotheses about the existence of soul and God, then testing those hypotheses through meditation practices and personal spiritual experiences. The science of spirituality aims to uncover deeper spiritual truths and explain paranormal phenomena in a way that integrates different fields like science, psychology, philosophy and religion. It has found evidence of higher planes of light and sound within that can be experienced through inverting attention in meditation.
This document provides an overview of the eBook "Clairvoyance and Occult Powers" by Swami Panchadasi. It includes information about the author, release date, and language of the eBook. It also lists the table of contents which outlines 16 lessons about various occult and psychic phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, psychometry, astral projection, and psychic influence. The lessons provide explanations of these phenomena and instructions for cultivating these abilities.
ASTROLOGY’S UNIVERSAL PARADIGM: The One Universal Language (Part 2)William John Meegan
Astrology is in every sense a wholly mystical religious paradigm. It is the sine qua non of all religions that ever was, is or ever will be. Its innumerable mysteries cannot be fathomed by the human intellect.
This article is about the investigation into the origins of Astrology. Where did the idea of it come from and how and why did it span the globe in all religions? This article is part two of my studies on Astrology.
1) Spiritual quotient can be understood and measured in two ways - through modern science and spiritual science. Modern science defines it based on tangible phenomena while spiritual science is based on internal phenomena realized through spiritual practices like meditation.
2) In modern science, spiritual intelligence is defined by researchers like Zohar and Marshall and measured using models developed by Wigglesworth and others. Spiritual science defines spiritual levels on a percentage scale correlated to spiritual practices from ancient texts.
3) Spiritual science is a superior way of understanding phenomena according to ancient scriptures which described concepts like the Higgs boson particle and telepathy without modern tools, showing insights gained from inner spiritual practices.
Parapsychology is the scientific study of paranormal phenomena and experiences. The most studied areas are extrasensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis (PK). ESP includes clairvoyance, telepathy, and precognition. Parapsychological research has explored topics like telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, psychokinesis, reincarnation, possession, alien abduction, near-death experiences, and more. Research methods have included experiments, surveys, hypnotic regression, and analyses of case studies in an attempt to understand paranormal experiences and determine whether anomalous effects exist. However, many paranormal claims remain controversial and difficult to study scientifically.
The document discusses the chakra system and how it relates to the physical body and spiritual development. It describes the seven major chakras, locating them along the spine and associating each with an organ, color, and function. The chakras act as energy centers that need to be cleaned and balanced daily. The document provides instructions for beginners to open and close the chakras to feel the energy flow and sensate each area. More advanced techniques involve opening the crown chakra first to fill the body with divine energy. Developing the chakra system can enhance psychic abilities and help humans evolve into beings with 12 strands of DNA and a higher level of consciousness.
The document discusses the chakra system, which describes seven major energy centers (chakras) located along the spinal column. Each chakra corresponds to a different aspect of human experience and is associated with a specific color. The chakras are said to process spiritual and physical energy and support various human functions like communication, emotions, and intuition. While not physical objects, the chakras can be conceptualized as existing in locations on the body and are proposed to relate to different endocrine glands and physiological systems. Kundalini energy is also described as a primal force that can awaken and flow between the chakras through nadi energy channels like the sushumna.
This document provides an introduction to Luciferian magick and the Left Hand Path. It defines magick as the art of causing internal and external change according to one's will. The objectives of Luciferian magick are to activate predatory instinct and achieve self-perfection and dominance through real results. High and low black magick are common practices that invoke rebellious gods. Reasons to practice magick include liberating oneself from restrictive beliefs, examining problematic behaviors, and opening spiritual communication.
There are different symbols when it comes to sacred geometry, and several of them are printed on T-shirts or used in jewellery designs.
One of the most frequent is the conjunction of two three-dimensional opposite triangles, which is called the Merkaba. At this point, you may wonder what does Merkaba mean?
New Study Of Gita Nov 13 Dr Shriniwas Kashalikarchitreajit
Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar analyzes chapters 11-13 of the Bhagavad Gita. He discusses how in chapter 11, Arjuna experiences a vision of Krishna's cosmic form that is overwhelming and destabilizing. Chapter 12 has Arjuna asking which type of devotion is best, and Krishna explains worshipping his form is preferable for most. Chapter 13 describes the body and soul, with Krishna as the knower of both.

This document discusses the healing properties of sound and vibration based on scientific research and ancient practices. It summarizes that [1] many ancient cultures and creation myths describe the universe as being created by sound vibrations, and modern scientific research supports this theory by showing how vibration can cause the shapes and densities we observe. [2] Experiments over the past 200 years by Chladni, Jenny, and Lauterwasser visually demonstrated how different sounds and frequencies form distinct patterns and structures in materials like sand, fluids, and water. [3] These experiments support theories of sound healing and show how positive sounds can create structure while negative sounds can destroy structure.
This document provides an introduction and overview of the Necronomicon spellbook. It describes how Simon, an ordained bishop, came into possession of the ancient spellbook after two monks stole it from a university. Simon worked to translate and publish the spells from the Sumerian text. The introduction outlines some of the spells focused on goals like love, wealth, protection and wisdom. It provides context on the mysterious Sumerian civilization that originally developed the magical system contained in the Necronomicon.
This document provides an introduction to sigil magic and Austin Osman Spare's theory of sigils. It discusses Spare's approach to creating personalized sigils based on individual thought and the unconscious mind. The document emphasizes practicing sigil magic through developing one's own sigils rather than using pre-existing symbols from other sources. It outlines several sigil construction techniques including word, pictorial and mantric methods. It also discusses activating sigils and Spare's concept of the "Alphabet of Desire" for structuring magical symbolism.
This document summarizes the debate around the authenticity of "The Rosie Crucian Secrets" manuscript. It acknowledges that the manuscript copies text from other works published after John Dee's time, but argues this does not prove it is a forgery. Over half of the manuscript's content cannot be found elsewhere. Additionally, the date the Rosicrucian order was founded is uncertain, so it cannot be ruled out that Dee was associated with them. The document aims to present an alternative explanation for the similarities to later works, rather than immediately accepting the manuscript is a forgery. It will examine the identity of the 1713 copyist.
This document introduces the science of Raja Yoga, which provides a practical method for reaching spiritual truths through direct experience rather than belief alone. It argues that all religions are based on the direct experiences of enlightened individuals, though modern religions often ask people to believe without experiencing for themselves. Raja Yoga aims to teach a scientific method through which anyone can verify religious and metaphysical truths by observing the mind and developing higher perceptions. By faithfully practicing the prescribed methods, light and higher knowledge will come.
Qigong has a curative effect through self-treatment and treatment from others. Self-treatment involves regulating the mind, body, and respiration to enhance immunity and metabolism. Treatment from others involves receiving external qi emitted by qigong masters, which has inhibitory and immune-enhancing effects. Scientific experiments provide evidence that external qi consists of infrared radiation and bioelectricity that can rearrange energy flow and reduce tissue resistance.
Night Magick refers to magical practices based on the Yin principle of darkness and the night. The document provides background on the origins of Night Magick, contrasting it with religions based on the Yang principle. It states that the human soul is a fragment of the Ancient Dragon, a primordial being that ensouled the Earth and humanity. Night Magick aims to teach the truth about human origins and balance Yin energies, in contrast to Yang-focused religions that have led to environmental destruction and gender inequality. The goal of Night Magick is spiritual growth and perfection through magical disciplines, philosophy, science, and returning to oneness with the Night spirit.

Introduction
The projection of consciousness has been an integral part of kabbalistic teachings, from the Merkavah
(Chariot) Riders and their journeys to the starry Palaces (Hekelot) of the invisible world, to Traveling in
Spirit Visions with the early adepts of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the 19th can early 20th
centuries. While a wide variety of approaches has been formulated to assist the disciples of these diverse
schools, much of their techniques require an extensive amount of preparatory teachings and/or ritual
assistance. For those who have little or no knowledge of traditional 10-12th century Merkavah doctrines,
or no interest in learning the necessary signs, symbols, and invocations for Golden Dawn style
techniques and their ‘spin offs’, yet want a Hermetic approach to their inner world, their is a solution. It
is also simple, direct, and does not require an extensive amount of visualization or creative imaging.
The following experiment was carried out over a three month period, from December 1996 to February
1997. During that time, no additional ritual methods were performed, either for personal development, or
in a group, in order to asses the value of the technique as it stood alone. The majority of the experiments
occurred at night, before going to sleep, and about half the time, in the morning upon waking, while still
in a borderline state.
It is designed for those who would like to have an ‘out of body experience’ but lack either the necessary
visualization skills required of so many of the present techniques, or who have had violent experiences
leaving their body, and would like a more gentle approach to the astral planes.
It can be carried out by either experienced ‘traveler’ or beginner with equal ease, and possibly, similar
results.
Theoretical Background
The theoretical background behind this experiment is strictly kabbalistic, and is applicable to either the
traditional Tree of Life (Golden Dawn), the revised Tree of Life as applied to the Portae Lucis
material[i], or the Palaces as outlined in the Sepher Zohar. In short, any systematic outline of the interior
body-world of humanity can be applied, as long as it has concise, easy to visualize symbols for the
various planes of consciousness.
The working assumption is that we as conscious beings originate in the Ain Soph Aur, or Limitless Mind
of God. We incarnate through various stages of increasing density and matter, into the present world, in
order to gain the experiences that will allow us to go from ‘potential beings’ into Self Actualized, or Self
Created Beings. In our journey of development we take on characteristics and ‘bodies’ of various
vibrations, and on our ‘return’ we shed these bodies in exchange for increasingly subtle bodies and
worlds of Light. These Worlds are categorized in the Gnostic, Kabbalistic, Hermetic, and Alchemical
texts under different names and numbers, but share the same essential qualities and functions overall.
That is, they go from the most dense world of material Earth, to the most subtle of Infinity, or the point

of our origin, the Mind of the Creator.
Within our physical body we have various organs of psychic perception, called psycho-spiritual centers
in modern Western esoteric nomenclature, and chakras in Sanskrit. These centers correspond to several
levels of our physiology, that is on one level, our nervous system and plexus, as well as our endocrine
system of hormone secreting glands. Other correspondences exist as well, but for our purposes these are
the ones used most commonly and efficiently.
Astral projection is often suggested through the solar plexus, but for many this can be an unnerving and
unsettling experience. Other suggestions are purely visual, such as rising out of your body like a mist, or
as having a second ‘body of light’ present next to your physical one. It is said that advanced practitioners
can project their consciousness at the time of their death through the upper centers, thus ‘dying
consciously’. The centers suggested here are the top and front of the head, or the “Crown” and “Third
Eye” centers, associated with the pineal and pituitary glands. Some even use the back of the head, the
medulla oblongata, or brain stem.
In the Indian texts, each chakra is associated with a particular power (siddha), which is awakened in the
aspirant, and as such, allows the student to then project their consciousness through the different psychic
centers in increasing complexity and subtlety, until finally, the Crown is reached.
In kabbalistic practices however, the centers are rarely used as such, but instead intense visualization of
the etherial Worlds is used, until they are progressively realized, or rituals combined with more
generalized energizing of the psychic body are used, alone or in conjunction with these visualized
worlds. The modern variation of this often involves the use of Tarot cards, and is called Pathworking, or
the use of Hebrew letters. Eastern Orthodox monks have used intense visualization on the solar plexus, as
a small sun, as a method of achieving exteriorization, and some schools use the heart as a center of
displacement, however, the previously mentioned methods are the most commonly used to date.
Alchemists use tinctures, or medicines to assist in the projection of consciousness. Although, these
should not be confused with hallucinogenic, or psycho-active drugs. The effects of alchemical medicines
generally occur when their user is relaxed, sleeping, or in meditation. They in effect, assist the projection
of consciousness, that is the expansion of awareness, rather than induce or cause it directly. It is possible
to take an alchemical medicine and drive a car unimpeded.
In Eastern techniques, the number of psychic centers attributed to the body vary in number depending on
the school in question. In general, it is said that we have at least seven major and five minor psychic
centers. Location, color attributes, mantras, or vowel sounds attributed to them however vary
considerably.[ii]
According to Sri Aurobindo, the throat center is associated with the externalization of mental forces, and
the link between the higher and lower mental spheres. Like in some color scales of kabbalah, grey is
associated with this center.[iii] In Serpent of Fire: A Modern View of Kundalini, Darrel Irving points out
that the Vissudha chakra is presided over by the dual deities of Shakini and Shiva. Each is five faced,
representing the five Elements, and three eyes, showing physical and psychic perception, or knowledge.
Shakini is seen as Light itself, and Shiva, like the Hermetic ideal, is androgynous, half white and half
gold. The center is associated with the purification of intelligence, the psychic substratum or ether
(akasha), and hearing. The color given is smoky-purple. As with Sri Aurobindo’s color, purple is also
sometimes given as associated with the throat center in modern kabbalistic works.[iv]

3. A Kabbalistic Guide to Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection
Along with the remaining upper two psychic centers, these three constitute the only centers whereby
direct psychic perception is possible.[v]
In the West, the Throat center is less well defined, although it shares in all of the above named
characteristics. In Kabbalah of the Golden Dawn, Pat Zalewski states that the throat center is associated
with the thyroid gland and controls respiration. As with yoga, each of the preceding centers is associated
with an Elements, starting with Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. While not stated, it might be presumed that
the Throat center is then the first center to be associated with Spirit, or Quintessence, as in yoga.
Here however, we run into a problem regarding the attributes associated with this area. In alchemy, the
throat is ruled by Mercury, the god of Air, as well as magic, voice, and initiation. In the systems
generally used (i.e. Golden Dawn), no planetary attribute is given to the throat. Instead, it is the
sepherothic realm of Daath that presides over this region.
Daath is Hebrew for ‘knowledge’ and maybe that is the best attribute for things associated with the mind,
speech, and magic. However, for many kabbalists, Daath is a region better left alone, and feared more
than the so-called Qlippoth, or Demonic realms. How did Daath come to be seen with such awe? Mostly
from the second-hand reports of book learned occultists repeating what they read. Although, if we keep
in mind that Daath is Knowledge, then some interesting correlations can be drawn.
Isreal Regardie states:
“This central point between two symbolic pillars of the opposites, the place of balanced power from
which the working of the opposites may correctly be viewed, is the implication of DAAS {Daath}, which
is the name of this shadowy Sephirah. Rightly it is shadowy, and the word is used advisedly for in the
majority of us who have not cultivated the difficult art of avoiding the opposites, the development of this
new principle has proceeded with the utmost slowness. It is a new factor of adaptation or equilibrium,
especially between the two broad divisions of consciousness - the ego on one hand with its desire for
adjustment to modern life with its refined and non-natural conditions, and on the other hand with the
superficial level of the instinctual life, concerned with primitive things, of self-assertion and the
unbridled gratification of its every whim and caprice.”[vi]
and further on:
“DAAS (sic), the shadowy Sephirah, which develops in the course of evolution as we learn the
domination of our mental and emotional propensities, is situated at the nape of the neck. Its position is at
a point on the spine just below the occiput, about one or two inches above the larynx, and its diameter
may be imagined to be about four inches in extent. It is conceived to be a symbolic link, self-induced,
and self-devised, between the higher Genius on the one hand, and on the other, the ego, the
consciousness self referred to that group of characteristics clustered around TIPHARAS (sic).”[vii]
Regardie also refers to Daath as “The Link” between the Higher Self and the ego, or waking brain.
Gareth Knight states that Daath is where ‘pure force takes on form”[viii] and that it is “the highest unity
in the world of forms”[ix], and “Daath is the highest point of awareness of the human soul regarded as a
soul…”[x].
“The Daath powers in balanced function, of course, give the type of person with a mission or sense of

destiny who will have sufficient detachment to cut his way through any obstruction to his aims, at no
matter what cost, and who has absolutely no concern for what danger the future may have in store such is
his faith in his powers and acceptance of his destiny.” [xi]
Unfortunately, most of what is said regarding Daath, like the other spheres, is of a cosmological nature,
and difficult to apply to our individual consciousness. The abstract ideas associated with it, coupled with
vague warnings and trepidation are not directives on how to approach this sphere within our psyche (and
very real psycho-spiritual, semi-physical center!) in a positive and growth oriented manner.
Possibly what Knight is saying, on a personal level, is that the psycho-physical sphere associated with
Daath allows for the highest awareness in human consciousness when it is progressively opened. When
this occurs, many of the fears, obstructions, and psychological malfunctions that have previously plagued
us, fall away under the intense awareness of our true power and presence as Beings becoming
consciously Divine.
In summary, maybe the fears are real, in that once we cross the Bridge of Knowledge, there is no turning
back. Once we go from the theoretical to the experiential, we cannot return to ignorance. When
innocence is lost, it is gone for good. Thus, we can cross the ‘bridge’ several times: from the material
world to the psychic; from the psychic to the more abstract mental realms; and from the mental to the
highly spiritual, from which none is said to have returned. Most of what is reported about Daath may be
in relation to this last and highest reality.
The function of this technique, is to assist those who desire it, to cross their personal psychic bridge from
the visible into the invisible with consciousness and memory.
Mercury, Hermes and the Psychopomp
Knight suggests using the caduceus, a symbol of the god Mercury, and the psychopomp Hermes, as a
symbol for approaching Daath. This relationship of the Throat Center to Mercury must not be
overlooked, for it is this very relationship that we are seeking to establish within ourselves. To be able to
enter into the psychic realms with the aid and assistance of our Higher Genius, as well as our human
intellect, and to make use of the information upon return to waking consciousness. We want, in effect, to
do as Hermes does, “Walk Between Two Worlds” and unite them within our psyche.
The symbols for Mercury is the stylized caduceus in the form of the combined symbols of Luna (Moon),
Sol (Sun), and Terra (Earth). Combined they state the function of this part of our psychic anatomy. The
upturned lunar symbol represents our brain, nervous system, and psychic functioning, resting upon the
Solar symbol beneath. The Sun, is our spiritual powers, life force, and intuition. It sits astride the symbol
for matter, or the equal armed cross. The Cross of the Four Elements is the symbol of material existence,
and is at once our physical bodies as well as the material world we live in.
In the symbol for Mercury, we see that the terrestrial energies, or matter, are dominated, by the Solar
forces of the Sun, and Soul. However, these spiritual forces are in turn dominated by the intellect and
physical brain of man. That is, the brain directs them, or represses them, depending on the spiritual health
of the aspirant.
It also illustrates a unique point. That is, the relationship between the heart, sun, brain, and spiritual
awakening.

5. A Kabbalistic Guide to Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection
As messenger of the gods, Mercury assists in the transfer of knowledge, and not in the creation or
interpretation of that knowledge, these functions being left to the brain and psychic heart. The heart is the
seat of intuition, the Voice of the Soul, and the Interior Master, only through its awakening can we
become conscious and free beings. However, the energy of the awakened heart, with all of its love, must
be transferred to the physical brain for insight and understanding. In doing so, it requires the assistance of
the Throat center. Once in the brain, the energy must also be able to return to the heart, or send
information there for spiritual consideration, via the Mercurial Center.
Herein lies some confusion for some folks. It is said that the heart is the center of intuition, yet it is in the
pituitary body of the physical brain that intuition is realized in mundane consciousness. Is it not possible
to simply awaken the pituitary body without the needed functions of the psychic heart?
The answer is yes. To understand this somewhat confusing relationship between the heart, pituitary
gland, and our spiritual awakening, we need to realize that according to esoteric tradition both of these
organs are Solar in nature, and as such effected by the material and spiritual Sun. Just as the pituitary
gland reacts to light physical light, it also reacts to the awakening of the spiritual light caused by an
awakened Heart - a Heart filled with love.
The brain in general is Lunar, but certain aspects of it respond to other planetary influences in their
specific functions.
This need to awaken both the heart and brain, is what is required for travels through the psychic realms.
An awakened heart with no brain is subject to an extreme lack of practicality; and a brain with no heart
can function psychically, but only in a cold and detached manner. The ‘thinking heart’ and ‘feeling brain’
are what Mercury help us to establish. In doing so, the polarity is overcome through union and the
material and remaining psychic forces of our body are brought into play in a harmonious manner.
The use of blues, and purples is said to show the relationship between Daath, and the ideas of a Higher
Mind (Blue/Chesed) and Yesod (Purple). Thus, the Daath , or sphere of Knowledge that we are
contacting through our meditations is our personal one, and not that of the transpersonal or Cosmic Daath
on the Tree of Life, of which so many dangers have been written and attributed.
It is also the synthesis of the Supernal Upper Trinity in a form we can approach and understand more
easily[xii]
Also, if Yesod, or the gateway and principle sphere of the astral realm is a reflection of Daath “on a
lower arch” as our British fraters and sorors are so fond of saying, then meditations on the “Daath”
sphere in ourselves should not only sublimate the sexual creative powers of Yesod, but also allow us to
enter into astral consciousness more fully and completely.
Some Additional Thoughts From the East
In Chinese and Mongolian Chi Kung, meditation on the throat center is used precisely for these purposes:
(1) sublimation of the sexual force[xiii], and (2) assisting in the conscious projection of consciousness
and the induction of lucid dreaming. It is the connecting center between the heart and the brain.
“Taoists who practice Dream Yoga focus on the throat point when going to sleep so as to consciously
cross the bridge between the waking state and the dream state. Being able to dream lucidly helps one
gain greater control of one’s Chi (internal energy) and also enables one to consciously bridge the gap

between life and death.”[xiv]
Conscious dreaming is used to awaken the “Seventy -Two Magical Abilities”, in order to prepare them
for eventual transfer to the waking, material world. This is an interesting number, as it matches the
number of permutations of the “Great Name” of God, or Schemhamphoresch. Theoretically, each of
these Names, Signs, Seals, and correspondences[xv] could be awakened using the technique outlined in
this article.
As in India and Western techniques, the throat is associated with air, spirit energy, and consciousness in
Taoist practices.
The Technique
The Philosophers of Nature[xvi] suggest three methods of projecting consciousness: mental, astral, and
ethereal projection.
The first technique suggests using the Throat center for projection, and states that the dis-alignment of
the physical and psychic bodies will occur at the level of the neck. It is this basic idea that the following
experiment is based upon.
In order to present the subconscious with an orderly supply of symbols in a coherent and meaningful
manner, the use of either the Hindu Tattwas, Alchemical Element, of Kerubic Signs can be initially used.
Afterwards, the planetary sings of the seven principle planets are used in their place. This progressive use
of the same symbols allows the subconscious to understand that these symbols are meaningful and are
the official means of transferring consciousness form one level to another.
If done repeatedly, the symbols will not be needed after a period of time, and if done with good heart and
mind, one may potentially realize their ‘interior level’ during one of the dream states provoked.
While full-scale astral projection may not immediately occur, the degree of lucid dreaming, dream
memory, and even a limited increase in one’s ‘magical voice’ will be experienced. It is up to each
aspirant to make the most of these ‘out-of-body’ dream states, and increase their level of intensity so as
to realize full and controlled projection of consciousness.
Unlike other methods of projection, through regular practice, the method outlined here will in most cases
work gently and progressively, i.e. increased dreaming, then lucid dreaming, and finally astral projection,
thus allowing for an aclimation of consciousness to these new states of being.
Step One - Obtain a set of symbols for the Four Elements and Spirit, and the Seven Planetary Signs.
Start with Earth, then progress to Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit as the days proceed. The basic procedure
will not change, only the symbols used to attain projection. Therefor, it is best to use symbols that you
can easily visualize, either in gold, phosphorescent white, or their complimentary colors.
Step Two - When going to sleep, or even just relaxing a few minutes, turn you attention to the area of
your ‘Adam’s Apple’ and imagine a brilliant blue-black (or indigo/ultra-violet) sphere there, about the
size of a tennis ball. Make it brilliant an translucent, as though it were illuminated from the inside, with
its center point around the thyroid gland. It should be large enough to also touch the back of the nape of
the neck, and if done very large (as Regardie suggests)[xvii], it may even have its farthest edges at the
bridge of the nose and brushing the thymus gland, or heart. What is important here, is that the image is

7. A Kabbalistic Guide to Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection
three-dimensional, and not just as a flat plate in front of you. Thus, the sphere, or ball, will encompass
your neck, and parts of your head. Your imagination is internally directed. It is all right to imagine the
organs mentioned if it aids in visualization, otherwise, stay with the bright, translucent color and imagine
that this is all there is, lose yourself in it. Place yourself in its center, look around at an infinity of
singular color of slightly different shades and hues.
Step Three - After achieving familiarity with the first step, and can enter into the indigo sphere at will,
and be comfortable there, imagine your chosen symbol for Earth present with you. See it brilliant and
before you, with the qualities of Earth present, that is heaviness, and density, and simply stay with the
symbol for a while, or until you fall asleep. Do this for one five to seven days, then move on to the
remaining symbols. After you have completed all of the Elements, including Spirit, then proceed on to
the Planetary symbols.
Step Four - With the planetary symbols you have several choices on how to approach. First, you can
simply move through them, starting with Luna, and progressing up the Tree of Life. Second, you can
start with Saturn and progress down. Third, you can simply alternate through them according to the
ruling planet of the day. Since it is desirable to spend several cycles with each symbol, the Third method
offers the easiest and least tedious way of working through them with out worrying about breaking off in
the middle somewhere and having to start that symbol over again.
Note your experiences in your daily notebook and see what if any connections exist from week to week
between the symbols of each planet.
It is desirable to spend at least five to seven cycles with each planetary symbol, or between six and seven
weeks working with them as you fall asleep. This, added to the previous four or five weeks working with
the Elements, makes a total of ten to twelve weeks of nightly work. Upon rising in the morning, a minute
or two can also be spent visualizing the symbol of that day as well, as long as you don’t fall back to
sleep!
