ASSESSMENT OF PRACTITIONERS’ EXPERIENCES (CHAPTER 12)

These assessments of the practitioners’ experiences refer only to the specific descriptions that they submitted and are not meant as an assessment of their practice as a whole. Some of practitioners would easily be able to experience successful phases earning four to five points at other times. This especially concerns Boris Pronyakin, Alexander Dyrenkov, Boris Bender, and Alexei Teslenko. This is also possibly true of the other practitioners, with whom the author is not closely acquainted.

No. 1 Boris Pronyakin – 0.5 points
No. 2 Alexei Bakharev – 0.5 points
No. 3 Dmitry Markov – 0 points
No. 4 Ivan Yakovlev – 1.5 points
No. 5 Natalya Kozhenova – 1 point
No. 6 Alexander Furmenkov – 1 point
No.7 Roman Reutov – 3 points
No. 8 Alexander Dyrenkov – 1.5 points
No. 9 Svyatoslav Baranov – 2 points
No. 10 Oleg Sushchenko – 2.5 points
No. 11 Alexander Lelekov – 1.5 points
No. 12 Boris Bender – 2 points
No. 13 Alexei Teslenko – 3 points

ANSWERS TO THE FINAL TEST (CHAPTER 14)

A SIMPLIFIED DESCRIPTION OF THE EASIEST METHOD FOR ENTERING THE PHASE USING INDIRECT TECHNIQUES

Upon awakening, without moving or opening the eyes, immediately try to separate from one’s body. The separation attempt should be carried out without any imagining, but rather with the desire to make a real movement without straining the muscles (rolling out, levitation, standing up, etc.).

If separation does not occur within three to five seconds, immediately try alternating several of the most effective techniques for three to five seconds each. When one of the techniques works, continue it for a longer period of time:

-Observing images: Try to examine and discern the pictures arising before closed eyes.

-Listening in: Attempt to hear sounds in the head and make these louder by listening in or strengthening the will;

-Rotating: Imagine rotating around the head-to-foot axis;

-Phantom wiggling: Try to move a part of the body without straining the muscles, and try to increase the range of movement;

-Straining the brain: Try straining the brain, which will lead to vibrations that may also be intensified by straining the brain.

As soon as one technique clearly starts to work, continue with it as long as progress is apparent, and then try to separate. If separation fails, return to the technique that was working.

Do not give up alternating through techniques until one minute has elapsed, but do not continue for more than two minutes. Separation from the body may be attempted periodically, especially if interesting sensations occur.

TAKE PART IN RESEARCH

Take part in the research of a technique. The technique of imagined sensations is described in Chapter 2 in the section on Secondary Techniques. This technique is also commonly known as the “cell phone technique”. While this guidebook was being written, experiments with this technique were conducted at the School of Out-of-Body Travel’s seminars. Results were astounding. Due to the fact that this technique is easy to understand and apply in practice, it could be the most straightforward and effective one for achieving the phase state. Almost every second attempt made with this technique has yielded results, provided it is employed as an indirect technique.

Due to this technique’s huge potential for popularizing and spreading knowledge of the phenomenon, anyone who is interested is invited to take part in a global experiment of the technique’s effectiveness. In addition to testing it, a researcher may propose the technique to interested persons or post it on the Internet to increase the number of practitioners. Please submit the results of your experiments with the technique to the e-mail address: obe4u@obe4u.com

Here it is:

THE CELL PHONE TECHNIQUE

The practice of this phase entry technique is to imagine the sensation that something is resting in the hand, desirably upon awakening without any physical movement. It is best to imagine a cell phone is in the hand because the modern person is quite accustomed to this sensation, although any other object will do. It is necessary to actively and attentively focus on the sensations in the palm of the hand. Most likely, the physical sensation of a phone lying in the hand will quickly arise. The sensation will become increasingly palpable. If a sensation does not arise within 10 seconds, the technique not going to work and it is time to switch to another one.

When the sensation of a phone in the hand occurs, focus every bit of attention on it. It should be noted that this will not be an imagined sensation, but a real one. This should be understood from the very beginning, and results should be expected. Once the sensation is stable, start feeling the mobile phone with the fingers. Physical sensations should be experienced. The physical body, of course, must not move or strain. If this does not work, only focus attention on the sensation of the phone lying in the hand and try to feel the phone with the fingers later. If feeling the phone with the fingers is successful, actively roll the phone around the hand, feeling all of its details.

As soon as it is possible to roll the cell phone around in the hand, separation from the body may be attempted. In this case it is usually easiest to separate by rolling out or standing up. Continue to hold the phone and roll it around, which will maintain the emerging phase state. Separation in this case should be more like actually getting up physically or rolling out of bed, rather than actually separating one thing from something else. That is, do this in the same way as physically getting out of bed, starting from the sensation of the phone in the hand.

If separation is unsuccessful, continue to attentively feel the phone in the hand for a little while longer and try to separate again. If separation happens, the next step is to take actions that are typical for a phase experience: deepening, and then accomplishing predetermined tasks while performing “maintaining” techniques. If only a partial separation occurs, then separation by force should be attempted.

Generally, the real sensation of a phone in the hand arises with every second attempt. Furthermore, achieving success only requires experience and some dexterity since feeling the sensation of a phone in the hand signifies that the required state has been reached and subsequent actions may be attempted.

ATTENTION!

When making attempts to enter the phase, the practitioner should have complete confidence that he will be immediately successful in everything.  Even a shroud of doubt will keep the practitioner in his body, this is especially true when it comes to indirect techniques.

Four typical barriers to mastering the phase encountered by 90% of practicioners:

1 – Forgetting to deepen the phase
2 – Forgetting to maintain the phase
3 – Absence of a plan of action when in the phase
4 – Forgetting to try to re-enter the phase after a foul

THE SCHOOL OF OUT-OF-BODY TRAVEL

Michael Raduga’s School of Out-of-Body Travel conducts training seminars in many countries around the world. The coursework allows students to master the phase phenomenon and hone their skills at traveling in the phase. Information on existing branches and seminar schedules are available on the website www.obe4u.com. We also welcome potential partners interested in organizing School of Out-of-Body Travel branches and seminars.

BRIEF GLOSSARY OF TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

Out-of-Body experience (OBE), lucid dreaming (LD), astral – a number of terms united by the phase that refer to the state in which a person, while being fully conscious, realizes consciousness outside the normal range of physical perception.

Indirect techniques – entry into the phase within five minutes of awakening from sleep of any duration – provided there has been minimal physical movement.

Direct techniques – entry into the phase without any prior sleep, after excessive physical movement upon awakening, or having been awake for at least five minutes.

Dream Consciousness – entry into the phase through becoming consciously aware while a dream episode is happening.

Dissociation – separation; in this case, a scientific term describing experiences in the phase.

Sleep paralysis – a stupor; the complete immobilization that often occurs when falling asleep, awakening, and entering or exiting the phase.

Stencil – the real physical body that is no longer perceived while in the phase.

Deepening the phase – methods for making the phase as realistic as possible by stabilizing the surrounding space.

Maintaining the phase – methods for maintaining the phase state by preventing a lapse into sleep, a return to reality, or an imagined return to reality.

REM – rapid eye movement sleep (REM phase); a sleep phase that is characterized by increased brain activity that is accompanied by rapid eye movement and dreaming.

Foul – an inadvertent termination of the phase through a spontaneous return to everyday reality.

Cycles of indirect techniques – the easiest way to enter the phase, employed by rapidly alternating certain techniques upon awakening from sleep until one of them works.
