Invisible world - how to gain access to it safely

12/11/2011

I have told you so often to be wary of those books on occult science that pretend to open the way to the invisible world but will only lead you dangerously astray. If you ever want to be able to leave your body and astral travel, so as to discover the splendours of the spiritual world, here is an exercise that is completely safe. For example, on those mornings when a grey, misty sky makes you feel drowsy, instead of trying to concentrate and meditate – which is pointless, as the conditions aren’t right, and you won’t succeed – try to stop thinking. Allow your soul to expand into space, and imagine it is rejoining the universal Soul and fusing with it: it will bring back with it images of the regions it has been contemplating. But be under no illusion: the quality of what you see depends on you, on the nature and quality of your desires, your feelings and your thoughts. So, if you want to truly connect with the realities of the spiritual world, begin by purifying your inner world.
