In some cases, the behavior of the deceased in the astral plane may resemble that of a deranged person, exhibiting the most diverse manifestations of neuroticism, ranging from inability to comprehend the situation to inarticulate speech. The subject may also be fairly aggressive.

It’s worth noting once again that, especially in the early stages of one’s practice, the behavior of the deceased in the astral plane can greatly depend on how they passed away. It also depends on how specifically involved the practitioner was with all of the events involved in the process (funerals, for example). Therefore, if the deceased displayed some symptoms of delirium before passing on, this could very easily be reflected in the astral plane space.

If that happens, it is naturally unlikely that the situation could be resolved in a positive manner by trying to restore the subject’s inadequate behavior to normalcy. The techniques for re-achieving contact should be immediately employed. Afterwards, the strange behavior is unlikely to reoccur.

Case Studies

October 2006

Don’t watch the morning news and eat at the same time. I vomited all today’s breakfast into the toilet after watching the news report that someone I knew, far from a passing acquaintance, had been brutally killed that night. He had he tried to call me a couple of weeks before, but I hadn’t been in the mood to accompany him on another one of his drinking bouts. For my own peace of mind, I decided to somehow try to make amends.

I lay down. With great difficulty, I calmed down and began to focus my attention on phantom wiggling with my arm. No wiggling occurred at first, but once it came, it started quickly increasing in amplitude. A short lapse in consciousness occurred after about 10 minutes, and I was able to easily get up out of bed.

I didn’t need to deepen. After closing my eyes, I immediately focused my attention on the image of my friend. Then, something picked me up and moved me in an unknown direction. After several seconds, I was literally thrown into the kitchen of his apartment. As usual, he sat in a chair at a table cluttered with cognac. He didn’t pay any attention to me. He didn’t look good, with many bruises and cuts on his face and arms. Although there was almost no blood, it was all awful to look at due to the hyper-realism, and I began to feel nauseated again. When I came closer, he turned to me and sobbed… I tried to ask him what had happened, because they didn’t say exactly what had occurred on the news. It turned out that his lifestyle lay at the cause of it all. He started shouting that he wanted to live, and that he would no longer act like that if he could only live again. I apologized for not having picked up the phone. I looked at him for the last time. And, acting against my beliefs, I returned to my body.

By evening, his explanation of what had happened was confirmed. As for his behavior and external appearance, they were understandably triggered by my still raw emotions. I think that if I meet him in several months, he’ll look and act differently.

At nearly every seminar I get to enjoy a different student telling the same funny story. A bewildered student attends the second or third session and relates his experience: the usual story is that he abruptly wakes up in the morning, in a fully conscious state, and starts to try to separate from his body. And nothing happens. He then tries to employ the techniques. Still nothing happens. In a bout of frustration, he then thinks to heck with everything, gives up, and decides to go back to sleep. Then, he gradually starts to realize that his body is lying in a different position than when he woke up. For example, he woke up lying on his back and performed the techniques in that position. But a minute later, it turns out that he’s lying on his stomach! All the while he has sure as day not moved at all physically.

What does all this mean? Friend, if you’re going to doubt whether or not any of this will work for you, then even when you are in the astral plane, you may simply be unable to get out of bed, which is what needs to be done in such a situation. Any doubt will keep you in your body, and peg you to it.

And just the opposite, in most cases, especially when it comes to indirect techniques, it is sufficient to simply be confident and completely certain that you’re going to get with it and just do it! I’m not trying to psych you up, and I’m not exaggerating. That’s exactly how it is. Sometimes it is enough simply to want it, to believe in it, and to act.

Over the course of several months, I conducted a study at each seminar on the effect of confidence on effectiveness. It turned out that 90% of those who get results do everything confidently, knowing that they will be successful in either the current attempt or a following one. It also turned out that 90% of those who were still unable to achieve anything were making their attempts without confidence, without belief in themselves or in their ability to enter the astral plane. Draw your own conclusions, my friend.

In this book, you’ll read about a large number of experiences, not only those of my own, but also those of other practitioners. This should bolster your confidence so that you’ll go on and do it.

By using the technologies for finding objects in the astral plane, one will be able to meet with any person, whether still living or not. In practice, this practical application of the astral plane is mainly used to meet with deceased relatives, and not, for example, famous historical figures – the reasons why would be a topic for another discussion.

Naturally, nothing brings greater sorrow than death. Both one’s own death in the future and that of loved ones in the present. This is natural, since no one has managed to escape biological death as of yet. People are used to the idea of losing loved ones forever, and any idea of continuing to communicate with them is often dismissed as silly, paradoxical, and fantastic. Some believe in the resurrection of the dead or that souls are sometimes able to visit from beyond the grave. Nevertheless, due to the absence of any specific techniques that would make this accessible to everyone, there is nothing but skepticism among the masses on this issue. But is it all so hopeless? Is everyone’s belief that the loss occurs forever correct? And, if there is a specific method for achieving contact with a deceased person, then how to relate it to everything else in this life?

No-one is yet able to say exactly what kind of phenomenon the astral plane is, or what it’s true nature is. But one thing is known: it can be applied to many spheres of human existence, including to meeting with the deceased. This is possible, tested, and there are step-by-step technical instructions for doing so. Irrespective of whether you’re a materialist or pragmatist, it can be said without exaggeration that humanity loses a lot by not paying attention to the very real opportunity offered by the astral plane.

However, this is the only truly real opportunity to consciously and directly contact a deceased person, whether personally familiar or not – something that is often strongly yearned for, but has long seemed impossible. And everyone can experience this for himself. A student who applies the skills learned in this book will soon be able to once again meet with those whom he had never hoped to see again for the rest of his days. Is there anything comparable to this?

Moreover, a person met in the astral plane will be just as real in terms of sensory perception as he would be if encountered in the day-to-day world. Such people can be touched. One may converse with them, and hear the timbre of their voice. Family members can be hugged. Even their habitual perfume will be recognized… This is not imagination, nor some faint picture – this can be even more vivid than the world in front of you right now. Of course, the metaphysical nature of people encountered there is a discussion for another day. For some, it’s the actual souls of the departed. Some may not believe in the soul as such. People in the physical world look at the same things and see them differently. Should that situation be any simpler in the astral plane? Of course not. It is mainly for that reason that there’s no point at all in getting held up on this. The important thing is that this can be done. And even more importantly, there is no other way to do it. The algorithm (procedure) is simple: entering the astral plane, deepening, finding objects. And then just be brave enough…

Not to worry, my friend! Stress and shock are not inevitable features of an astral projection state experience. Thus, your first entry into a deep astral travel does not necessary have to be accompanied by all of the discomfort that it brought me.

That first occurrence, which unequivocally showed me that life is not as dull and gray as it had already been starting to seem for me, would have been just a brief respite from day-to-day humdrum had it never recurred. While after the first experience I could not sleep for a long time, and indeed feared going to bed for a long time, afterwards everything occurred again in a much milder form. This ease was due to the absence of those putative aliens. I simply awoke in that very same stupor. I already knew that I could simply get up and levitate in some phantom body, but I was still afraid to do so.

I gradually started trying each time to get up and go just a little further into the process than the time before. Such a strategy increasingly lessened the feeling of fear, which had ceased to predominate. I was subsequently struck by the fact that I was doing everything myself, even if not in a very controlled way. If at first little green men were supposedly yanking me out of my body, then now there wasn’t even a trace of them. It turned out that this was some kind of skill that could be developed.

Of course, being interested in extra-sensory perception (ESP), I couldn’t escape the thought that this ability to control the experience could have a direct implication for physic powers. Moreover, this phenomenon is one most interesting subjects in that field. And most importantly – this was reality, and not merely a stubborn attempt to believe in something barely tangible and ambiguous. Unsurprisingly, I started to immerse myself in all of the available literature in an attempt to find useful information. After all, everything can be found in books and they contain nothing but the truth – right, friend?

It’s enough to say that I was quite quickly able to discard all of the literature that I could get my hands on. The reason was that with each week, I was becoming more and more familiar with the new experience in practice, and was easily able to verify whether the statements made and facts cited in books were accurate. It turned out that very little in those books was based on reality, and that they were mostly filled with long passed-down hearsay. There was no sense in starting off from those "works". I had to find my own way.

The understanding that only I myself could find answers to each of my questions served as an impetus for self-development, an impetus that many are lacking, especially those who try to make absolute authorities out of some authors. Understanding this, I always advise people to approach this topic as skeptically as I did.

I began to literally storm this incredible state all on my own. I lived and breathed it, and nothing else, from the age of 16 to 20. I was already out on my own, and nobody could get in my way. I naturally become somewhat antisocial, but conducted so many experiments each day that their results made such sacrifice on my end worth it. Moreover, this was simply the most interesting thing in the world for me.

That hands-on charge brought many valuable results. First, I gradually caught on to how to enter this strange stage deliberately, and not just spontaneously. Second, I came to the realization that no aliens had abducted me. So, dear friend, there is no reason to worry for my well-being. Third, I began to understand the properties of the space that I had arrived in.

It is of no small importance that I developed a theoretical framework during this time: working out the techniques for maintaining this state, the necessity of deepening it, interacting with the astral plane space, translocation and finding objects in it, and much more. To that end, I was able to classify all of the technicalities that had so far been lacking for anyone wishing to have a structured practice.

The practical side of things deserved special attention. It was that very aspect that convinced me to throw out all of the books I had found. For example, the books described how it was possible to fly up to somebody while in this state and injure him in a way that would leave a bruise in real-life. God knows how many desperate attempts I made to try to verify this. Sure, on the other side you can find someone you know and sucker-punch him, but he won’t remember this when he’s awake, and no bruises or even red marks will appear on his skin. You know, friend, I am the author of over a dozen books, all of them pretty thick, and I can tell you that only my conscious, and nothing else, attests to the veracity of their contents. Even if someone writes something with a clear conscious, he can still be mistaken, and you might read his work as if it were the God-given truth. That’s why I keep telling you not to pay attention to theories. The only way to know the world is to experience it.

After some time, I built several fundamental advantages into my techniques. One of them is that through hands-on experience, I was able to "grind out" a long list of practical uses for this phenomenon. They can be used by any person entering the astral plane for the first time, regardless of his worldview.

Looking back now, I’m not surprised that I wrote my first book on this topic at the age of 20. Though it may have been a bit folksy, a lot of people liked it, and no-one guessed at the age of its author. But most importantly, the techniques described in it did indeed help people to obtain a new body, one beyond the confines of the physical world. Then followed more books on various practical aspects of the astral plane. The 10th book, "A Practical Guidebook", is the best so far – being on the drier, academic side, it resembles more of a physics textbook than a personal development course. Its one shortcoming is that it is difficult to read if you are not already up to speed, a gap filled in by the book that you are holding in your hands. It’s a symbiosis of interesting explanatory text and material from that textbook.

Now, the teachings of Ultimate Yoga. The time has come to learn what it is in practice. The time has come to put an end to idle talk, and to proceed to open the doors to a parallel world.

Once again, dear friend, I would like to note that all of the information in this book concerning techniques is not merely some rough description of hypothetical exercises, but constitutes specific instructions that must be fulfilled to the letter. This especially applies to this part of the book. Do not reproach the techniques or question the author’s competence if you have been doing everything haphazardly or unpedantically. You will be hardly likely to achieve anything in that way. If it is written here that something needs to be done, it means just that – there’s no way around it. If it is written that you shouldn’t do something, then don’t do it – such an admonition is not meant as a literary device, but is for your own good, no matter how it may come off.

Moreover, everything is described in a way meant to be taken at face value. There is no need to read between the lines. Please keep in mind that the author didn’t just make all of this up two months ago. He perfected it over ten years on thousands of people, and knows exactly what you need and don’t need to do.
