The following methods have in no way been proven to work in practice. One may experiment with them at one’s own personal discretion. Moreover, if a practitioner intends to help people in these ways, he should never under any circumstances promise to solve all of their problems, because they should not forgo more traditional methods of treatment. A student ought be sensible and realistic in evaluating his capabilities, especially if he is only just starting out with his practice, and most of his views are based on borrowed theories, rather than on personal experience.

Also, all of these techniques require the ability to find objects. To better understand the essence of techniques for treating other people, it is best to learn them by practicing on oneself. This chapter will only briefly describe adapting some techniques for work with others.

Almost everyone asks the question, "Who are these subjects that we are to find in lucid dreaming and heal?" This question arises for one simple reason: there are no clear common definitions regarding the nature of the phenomenon itself that would allow one to speak confidently on its particulars. Many people (up to 25% of the world population) still do not know that the Earth revolves around the sun, rather than vice versa. So it’s quite a transition from there to the phenomenon at hand…

Upon discovering who or what these lucid dreaming subjects and objects were, the explanation for the nature of the phenomenon itself would at last be at hand. For the materialist, people in lucid dreaming, no matter what their external realism or believability of behavior, would be merely simulated clones that have no relation to people or objects in the real world. For the esoteric, the person or object in lucid dreaming would be the soul of a real person. So it’s the same as usual: each person sees the world in accordance with his assumptions and knowledge. But caution is always advised in such matters, as people all too easily succumb to the power of pitfalls of various kinds, some of which they cannot escape for the rest of their lives.

Taking medicines. Adapting this technique to treating another person means that that person must first be found in lucid dreaming (using the technique of finding). It is then necessary to administer appropriate medication depending on the nature of the health problems. Possibilities include not only pharmacy drugs, but also any possible folk remedies. For example, if the other person has prolonged headaches, then he should be given powerful painkillers to swallow, as well as other drugs that strike at the headache’s cause (if known).

Direct Influence. With direct impact on another person, after first finding him in lucid dreaming, it is necessary to work directly and fixedly on the problematic organs, or on his general condition. To this end, one may use official prescriptions or folk remedies, various kinds of massages, as well as anything else that comes to mind. For example, a patient has bad sunburn. In addition to all the other options for treatment, one might run one’s hand over his damaged skin, thus restoring it (this comes easily), give him injections to accelerate the healing, or use ointments, and so on.

Programming. After having found someone in lucid dreaming, one simply looks him in the eye and impresses upon him that he does not have a particular problem, that it will pass quickly, that he is healthy, vigorous, happy, etc. Perhaps a practitioner’s friend is chronically fatigued. In that case, after finding him in a lucid dream, the practitioner needs to convince him that he is full of energy, active, has boundless energy, strong motivation, is more goal-determined than ever, and so on. All this must be said right to his face with a firm voice. There will hopefully be an immediately change to his countenance, thus confirming the instant effect. One may also obtain verbal confirmation from him that the programming is working.

Psychological Impact. In adapting this healing technique to work with another person, one need first find that subject, and then immerse him in the necessary feelings and experiences. For example, a person is afraid of dogs. So, the practitioner finds him using the techniques for finding objects, and then places him in a situation where there are many dogs and they all are friendly to him, nuzzling up to one another, and playing. Conversely, the practitioner could place him in a situation where there are dogs behaving very aggressively, threatening to bite. However, the aim here is to ensure that the person being helped doesn’t get nervous, but instead coolly beats off the dogs without experiencing fear. It might not be that easy, but the practitioner should try to change the attitude of the other person to the problem.

It is also worth noting again that this technique can be applied in the most pragmatic way possible – asking the person with health problems to take up the practice of lucid dreaming himself. Simply having lucid dreaming itself in one’s life has an indelibly positive effect, not to mention the possibilities for self-healing that come with it. Practicing lucid dreaming is one of the most interesting experiences one will ever encounter.

If the goal is to affect the course of a disease, do not place all your hopes on lucid dreaming. The services of medical doctors must be the first recourse. The more serious the illness, the more strongly this rule applies.

Lithuania

My break from lucid dreaming was still on, so I decided not to try indirect techniques. I found myself awake after about 6 hours of sleep but without using an alarm, although I ignored this and went to sleep again. Then, I had a conscious awakening and it already felt like I was in lucid dreaming. Indeed, a very strange feeling. I thought, “Well, I should try using a separation technique”. And I did. It worked and I separated.

I was standing in my room, but my body was not in bed, so I started doubting if I was really in lucid dreaming, even though separation had felt very real. I immediately pinched my nose and I could breathe in through it. I rubbed my hands and touched everything around me. Once I felt that my lucid dreaming had good quality, I started acting as planned. In the end, it was very nice lucid dreaming experience , but I had forgotten to do maintaining and woke up after about 10 minutes.

Porto Alegre, Brasil

I was awoken by my cat and ended up accidentally employing the deferred method since I had slept some hours before this OBE. Then I did forced falling asleep, then cycled rotation, observing images, listening in, phantom wiggling etc. I can’t remember which one led to vibrations. I amplified the vibrations once I felt them (they were an unknown sensation to me until then), but I couldn’t remember what I was supposed to do then: to wait for sleep paralysis or try to separate. Then I decided to do just anything and tried to separate by floating upwards, as if me and my body had the same magnetic charge and would repel each other, because I’ve ruined some attempts before by trying to roll out and moving my actual body.

It worked, to a point. I felt as if I was floating about one foot high. Meanwhile, my plan was to separate, turn around, see my body and think, "Wow, man!" Then I would start rubbing my hands, palpating, peering and do a list of things while maintaining. But instead, I floated without seeing anything, I just felt the "thrust" pushing me up, which took about half a second or less and without sight. I simply "was" in a place that I hadn’t consciously chosen, and I kind of forgot that I could make decisions at that point and started watching things passively. Earlier I had remembered all the techniques that I should employ, but at the moment it slipped my mind.

I went to a place where somehow I knew only musicians went to in order to find other musicians and play along with them. It had a great positive "vibe" to it, I then heard voices of people talking around. There was a female voice, and this girl walked from right to left behind me but somehow I "saw" her All Star shoes. She was commenting about what a cool and friendly place it was. There was a guy with a black trench coat and a shaved head playing something between a piston and a trombone – it was deep dark blue, and he played it with one hand and a guitar with the other, producing awesome music. The piston’s keys were actually chromed Fender-type "elephant ear" bass tuners. He didn’t put his mouth on the thing at any moment and played it pointing it towards his foot the whole time. The guitar was suspended out in front of him by a strap on his left side with its neck pointing upwards. It sometimes sounded like a piano. There were no amplifiers, pedals or cables at all.

When I felt he was about to finish his music, I wanted to applaud him and tell him that it was awesome, but he disappeared to I don’t know where. This was strange because it was as if the music was still sounding, and I wouldn’t dare open my mouth while he was still playing. It was beautiful. 

Then, a man about 60 years old who was dressed somewhat like a sailor (at least that was what I thought) approached another guy who was playing some unknown instrument, resting the thing on his left shoulder like a violin. I think it was not an actual instrument, but rather something like a sewing machine or something oneiric in nature like that. The sailor stopped by the side of the sewing machine man and from inside of a worn out black, cheap looking plastic bag for which most people wouldn’t give a penny, neither would I, pulled a barbed edged transparent acrylic plate which looked as if it was just sawn off of a jigsaw, as if it was a randomly cut plate which had fallen off while the actual piece, whatever it could be, was being made. The plate was about 1 foot by 1 foot 4 inches and was not exactly rectangular. I’d never suppose that thing would play music.

Actually, when he played perfectly accompanying the sewing machine guy, I asked myself, "what will he be playing with…" I lurched forward and opened my mouth in complete surprise: It was a Flexing Instrument. I had never thought of this obvious concept before, and probably wouldn’t have without that experience. Everybody knows the bass, "pook" or "wok" sound that an X-Ray plate or some large plate like that – even made of different materials – makes when flexed, and most people know the high pitched, "kweek" sound of tiny steel lids about 2 inches in diameter that come in small cans of several types – the noise they make when folded in and out. Well, when the sailor held the plate with the tips of his fingers near the edges of the plate, the folding area was wider, and so the sound was bassier. When he held it with his fingertips close to the center, the folding area was smaller and so the sound was higher pitched. He could get his hands closer or farther as fast as choosing notes on any other instrument, and could play along with every note of the sewing machine man. It was impressive. I don’t remember how this lucid dreaming ended (M.R.: no maintaining).

The highest universal technique

A practitioner well acquainted with lucid dreaming will try to not use techniques to create the necessary state. He will attempt to obtain it immediately. This is similar to intense intention to experience lucid dreaming coupled with focused recollection of the sensations associated with it. This technique is only suitable for lucid dreamingrs who have formidable experience.

The question of whether or not extraterrestrial civilizations exist is outside of the scope of this article, but I would like to note that the majority of UFO abduction reports involve the same incorrect interpretation of the spontaneous out-of-body state as is the case with the Bible. Each era has gods of its own. I do believe that there are other civilizations out there, but doubt that they are as involved in home visitations as one would infer from reading thousands of “abduction reports”.

As with God’s appearances in the Bible, I have always been made uneasy by alien abduction stories, because both nearly always occur when the subject is falling asleep or awakening.

(Christina C, ufocsebook.com)

…I woke up because I heard him crying, it was dark, just a little light shining through the drawn window shades. I went to his crib and reached down to pick him up, but he was not there! I yelled to his father but he never moved. I went to the other side of the room to turn on the light, but it would not come on! I went back to the crib, a bright light flashed on and was beaming through the window, and there he was, still crying, very upset, I picked him up and hugged him close… Directly above the house was a very large triangle shaped object…

(Whitley Strieber, ufocasebook.com)

…After a couple of hours, he was awakened by an unusual sound. He felt that the security of his cabin had been breached. He was soon shocked to see a creature in his bedroom…

If you are still harboring hope that I was in error with the conclusions reached in the chapter above, then what I’m about to say may totally unnerve you. At age 15 I was also “abducted”. However, two years later, after having gained significant out-of-body and lucid dreaming experience, I came to the realization that it had all been a spontaneous exit from the body. Had the experience not repeated itself and had I not started experimental research on the phenomenon with diabolical persistence, then to this very day I would still be 100% convinced that I had been abducted by aliens. After all, it felt totally real – and how can one not but believe one’s senses? I had always had quite vivid and lucid dreams, but this was nothing like a dream by any measure.

The awakening, falling asleep, fear, and paralysis that I encountered during the “abduction” are typical features of alien abduction stories that you will read over and over again across many sources. For example:

(Anonim, ufocasebook.com)

…One night I awoke about 3:00 A.M., terrified. I sensed two beings in my bedroom at the foot of the bed. I did not try to look at them because I was afraid of what I would see. I saw the glow of the clock and Jeff, (my husband) sleeping next to me. I tried to turn (I was on my stomach) to wake him up but I was paralyzed. I then tried to scream but no sound would come out…

(Anonim, ufocasebook.com)

…During the last part of June (1987) as she was lying down on her bed, she felt somewhat uneasy, as if someone was watching her. The time was 10:00 PM. She then heard a voice say, "We have come for you… You will not be hurt." She then realized that her entire body was paralyzed, and that she could only move her eyes…

(Anonim, ufocasebook.com)

…I was sitting outside one night reading. All of the sudden it felt as though…as though something was smothering me. I started to panic because I couldn’t breathe. I tried to scream but nothing came out…

(Peter Khoury, ufocasebook.com)

…While lying on his bed, he felt something grab his ankles. He suddenly felt numb and paralyzed, but remained conscious. Then he noticed three or four small hooded figures alongside the bed…

Meanwhile, the characteristic features of the above accounts are also typical for out-of-body travel and lucid dreaming! Isn’t that strange? Isn’t it a little odd that my practitioners also encounter beings during experiences that exhibit the same characteristic traits? The difference is simply that my practitioners don’t sensationalize what happened, as they already understand that an out-of-body traveler might experience anything during his or her first adventures. The following are only a sampling of legion examples to be found on our internet forum:

(Lilia)

…I had only just fallen asleep when something changed. I heard the sound of what seemed to be someone jumping from the chair in the bathroom, but there were no cats in the house. And then I heard steps. I had never experienced such mortal fear before in my life, nor would I ever thereafter. I was sleeping in the living room, and could see my home’s front door. The door started to open, but I couldn’t see who it was. Only once they started coming towards me from the left was I able to catch sight of them by looking to the side. They were about 6 feet tall and translucent, I could see the wall through them. They had radiant almond-shaped eyes that were of a beautiful turquoise color. I wanted to get up or call for help, but I couldn’t even move a finger…

(Skyer)

…I was sleeping on the floor. I woke up. Like on any other morning, I was lying in bed half-awake and looking up at the ceiling, planning out my day. I suddenly heard someone walking in the hallway. I had spent the night in the office… The armored door was locked from inside… The windows were reinforced with steel webbing. I was paralyzed with fear… The door started to open slowly, and a being about 6 feet tall came into the room. He had yellow-greenish skin and a large, slender head…

(Roman 26)

…I had just shot up awake at night after sleeping on the couch. Still not quite understanding what had happened, suddenly an ominous and frightening dwarf-like being appeared in the corner away from me. Everything was so real that I froze out of fright and got goosebumps everywhere.

(Stress)

There was a sharp bang, and then the feeling of falling down… I was panicking, afraid for my life, and also had the feeling that they were going to take my soul. Attempts to get up, open my eyes, or move yielded no results. I could feel that my whole body was paralyzed, which just magnified the fear…

The above is just a small sampling of the first-hand accounts posted on our forum, but no one would say that our website was devoted to UFOs. People are simply developing new abilities. I would suggest that the difference between “abductions” and the practice of exiting the body consists only in the interpretation of events. Of course, you may say that the phenomena are not mutually exclusive, and that extraterrestrials might be using this ability of ours to facilitate “abductions”. However, if you left your body of your own free will, and then proceeded to look for the aliens yourself and have a conversation with them, would that be “abduction”? Meanwhile, there’s nothing stopping you from doing whatever you want with the aliens… Once I understood that I really hadn’t been abducted, I went out of my way to encounter extraterrestrials in a bid to overcome my fear of them. And what does it say if a solid majority of my practitioners have deliberately encountered aliens at least once?

In at least a third of all reported UFO and alien encounters, you’ll find telltale evidence of a spontaneous out-of-body experience. In at least another third of such reports, even though an out-of-body experience is clearly the underlying phenomenon, details are either missing or omitted (often on purpose, in order to cover up discrepancies). Here is the most simple example of how it can happen:

(Kelly Cahill, ufocasebook.com)

…After midnight the Cahills were on their journey home when they first noticed the lights of a rounded craft with windows around it. Within what seemed only a second or two, Kelly was now very relaxed, suddenly calmed by the disappearance of the intense, glowing light that had turned night into day for a brief few moments. The first words out of Kelly’s mouth [to her husband] were, "What happened, did I blackout?" Her husband said nothing, as he had no answer to give his wife. He cautiously drove his family home.

I think that by now it has already become obvious that Kelly had simply dozed off back at the very beginning of the story, lulled into sleep by the night drive, and that everything happened outside of the physical world, and only to her alone. However, the sensations were so realistic that she had a different interpretation: her husband had simply had his memory erased. And the result is shocking: one of the most widely circulated accounts substantiating the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations.

But why do these “abductions” happen? The mechanism is quite simple: sometimes the conscious mind awakens before the body, or the body falls asleep before the conscious mind. At that moment, people find themselves outside of the physical world, even though nothing may have changed in terms of sensory perception. It is spontaneous out-of-body experiences. If one’s suspicions are aroused by what’s going on, then internal fears and expectations immediately come to the surface and materialize in the most realistic way. If angels and gods previously visited the living, then in an era when talk of extraterrestrials fills the TV airwaves, there is nothing else to expect.

We have already discussed what a spontaneous exit from the body leads to when one expects God or guests from Mars. But now, as evidence of what happens when one’s mind is occupied by things other than aliens or angels, let’s introduce an account given by a child who also spontaneously fell into such a state:

(Azwraith)

…It happened late at night in wintertime when I was 8 years old. I woke up and was surprised at how light it was outside for the middle of the night. I walked to the bathroom… I got some water and went to the window, and then I almost dropped the glass once I saw something the size of a dwarf noisily running across the windowsill. It was about the same height as the window. The creature had a humanoid form, it was wearing small black boots, striped bright green stockings, a bright red jacket, and a hooded cap of the same color… I was so scared that I figured I should run and hide, but out of sheer curiosity I decided to move closer to the window and ascertain whether or not I had just been seeing things. Going to the window, I saw how a strange object flew out from one corner of the house. I immediately recognized it from its outline and shape: this was Santa’s sleigh!

Thousands of people have attended my seminars, and a great deal of them had initially become interested in out-of-body travel after having experienced sleep paralysis, spontaneous exit from the body, or even “alien abduction”. The ET abduction interpretation of the spontaneous out-of-body experience is just as widespread as the experience itself. According to surveys in the United States alone, 10% of Americans claim to have been abducted by aliens at least once.

Conclusion: in most cases, this phenomenon is not proof of the existence of curious extraterrestrials, but does prove that we are more than simply the physical body in which we are usually trapped. Meanwhile, this is all easily proved in practice. Anyone can make contact with extraterrestrials using out-of-body travel techniques
