– Are out-of-body travel and lucid dreaming the same thing?

According to out-of-body experience-state theory, yes.

– Is it possible that I won’t come back from out-of-body experience?

That’s only a superstition. Physiologically speaking, this state is not dangerous.

– Could somebody take over my body while I am out of it?

That’s a mystical superstition. It’s not physically possible, although you might have an out-of-body travel episode about it – especially if you believe in it.

– Is out-of-body experience all in your head?

You need to decide for yourself what the nature of the phenomenon is. Our task is to give you practical experience to base your decision on. Many practitioners believe that this is an exit of some essence from the body. Others believe that it’s all in the mind. Meanwhile, they all use one and the same techniques.

– Can everybody do this?

Yes, everybody can do this. For some it’s easier and for some it’s more difficult, but in the end it all depends on how well the techniques are performed.

– What if I’m not successful at it over the course of the seminar?

That sometimes happens, but in any case you’ll learn how to do it and see how the majority of the group does it. Only mistakes you make when performing the techniques can cause such misfires. It’s often the case that people who are unsuccessful during a seminar succeed immediately after it.

– Aren’t such practices symptomatic of schizophrenia or other mental illnesses?

The existence of phase states (at least in the context of lucid dreaming) has been a proven scientific fact since the 1970s. Most people encounter it at least once in their lives – so it cannot be a symptom of mental illness.

– Could I die in out-of-body experience?

The odds of dying in out-of-body experience are the same as that of dying while having an ordinary dream.

– Can two practitioners meet in out-of-body experience?

It’s easy from a technical point of view. However, the true nature of such an encounter is another issue. For example, the small details or even key moments of both of their experiences are hardly likely to coincide when the practitioners discuss them afterwards in real life. Moreover, even if they do coincide, there’s no guarantee that what happened wasn’t just an exact simulation in the individual phase space of each practitioner.

– Can I find out the number of the winning lottery ticket in out-of-body experience?

No. In out-of-body experience you can learn how to solve one issue or another, or even exactly how to earn a million dollars – but you won’t learn how to win it, since lottery-ticket numbers are the result of chance. No one has ever proven that this can be done using out-of-body experience.

– Can I practice superpowers in out-of-body experience and then use them in real life?

Although any superpower can be practiced in out-of-body experience, doing so is hardly likely to have any effect on your abilities in the physical world. At least no one has proven that this is possible. However, you can practice ordinary abilities in out-of-body experience.

– Can I go backwards or forwards in time in out-of-body experience?

You can learn information from the past or for the future, but that does not mean that you will actually travel in time.

– Can astral beings attack me in out-of-body experience?

That’s a mystical superstition. Only materialized fears can attack you, and that’s if you expect them to. For that matter, anyone can attack you – but this doesn’t mean anything.

– I was told that your system involves entering only a lower-level astral plane or a lucid dream. Is that true? How can I get to a higher-level astral plane?

These are mystical superstitions. Of course, it all depends on your views, and everyone determines his worldview for himself, but it suffices to say that there are no principal differences in practicing "higher" and "lower" levels of astral travel (for those who use such terminology). Both lucid dreaming and out-of-body travel use the very same methods. The term out-of-body experience was coined for the purpose of uniting all such phenomena that can be achieved using the same techniques.

– Are there any age limits for practicing out-of-body experience?

A person who finds the topic interesting and is able to understand what to do can phase no matter what his age. Both children and the elderly can do it.

I fell asleep with the desire to catch the moment of awakening. I woke up in the middle of the night, and remembered that I could start off by simply getting up. Getting up was quite easy, and even unusually so. I didn’t have vision, but I began to palpate everything around. Meanwhile, fear arose inside me. I became very afraid (unwarranted emotion; possible loss of activeness). I was thrown out of out-of-body experience. I woke up feeling quite uneasy (lack of secondary separation from the body).

A unique feature of one-on-one lessons is that there is no need to teach theories that it is unnecessary for the student to know when he is first starting out with the practice. For example, until a student is able to get results using the indirect method, he doesn’t need to know anything besides how to get motivated, how to apply out-of-body experience, and how to employ the indirect method itself. Deepening and maintaining should be added in as soon as he is able to enter out-of-body experience either using the indirect method, by becoming conscious while dreaming, or spontaneously. As soon as he is good at the indirect method, you may introduce the direct method. You can gradually create a professional practitioner out of anyone in this way.

– How can I go somewhere I’ve never been before and have no idea what it looks like?

If it’s your goal to go somewhere, that means that you already have enough of an idea about it. That should be enough.

– I fly too long during teleportation and sometimes do not fly to the right place. Where’s my problem?

Lack of concentration on your destination and having extraneous thoughts.

– I always land in the wrong place or not quite the right place when translocating. How can I wind up where I need to?

This is also due to a lack of concentration on your destination and having extraneous thoughts.

– When I try to find a particular person, somebody else appears. How can I find the person I’m looking for?

This problem is nearly always a result of insufficient concentration, subconscious fear of that person, anxiety, or a repressed reluctance to see him. It can also be a result of assigning too much importance to the meeting.

– Can I use translocation techniques to travel to the future and find out what will happen to me?

This is obtaining information. The quality of the information you obtain depends on your knowledge and your ability to employ the right techniques, including but not limited to the translocation techniques.

– Can I create a place in out-of-body experience where I can always go – a kind of home base?

Yes. Not only is it possible, it’s also easy.

Only one relatively serious problem might arise here: the issue of morality in out-of-body experience. As a rule, people bring not only their desires and habits from the physical world (where they were formed) into out-of-body experience, but also their attitude towards various issues. The role of the instructor is to make it clear that out-of-body experience is an independent space where there is no need to follow the laws of the physical world. The problem is not only that people do blindly follow those laws of the physical world while in out-of-body experience, but also that some concepts are so deeply impressed in people’s minds that even mere discussion of removing boundaries in out-of-body experience evokes incomprehension and anger. out-of-body experience brings people true freedom, which is why it seems plain wrong when a person who is at last free suddenly begins to limit himself and cast judgment as to what’s right and what’s wrong, as well as judge for himself what is permitted and what is forbidden. The instructor should devote maximum effort to breaking his students’ psychological shackles. This is beneficial not only for the practice itself, but also for a sense of well-being in the everyday world.
