(Incidentally, psyche is Greek for 'soul', so the two are indeed synonymous.) These are all aspects of the Psyche, though difficult to describe, because in greater... Self Help William Ember Thu, 27 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=238000&ca=Self+Help This is another tricky and in-depth subject which needs at least a summary exploration. Traditional occultists have noted the process of the gradual dissolving and letting go of the grosser bodies sequentially after death, to return to an identity essence apart from form, from where they begin the p...

Oxygen. I first started to think about this when I noticed through repeat observation (of both myself and others) that during waking there is often a deep intake of breath. The more suddenly the waking,...

However, for several reasons it is detrimental and definitely not recommended. Firstly, drugs artificially stimulate and force open receptive centres in a way which can be damaging to the unpre... Self Help William Ember Thu, 27 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=238008&ca=Self+Help Anyone trying to teach a projection or dreaming technique must naturally do so based on their own particular understanding. With the huge number of differing movements of thought, religions and philosophies in the world, it is easy to see how there can be so many differing teachings concerning the s... Self Help William Ember Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=230447&ca=Self+Help The question of whether it is 'really' the someone that you meet or not while projecting or dreaming is an intriguing one, and has been quite a point of contention between different fields of research. When you are Projecting, if you meet someone and they are consciously interacting with you, it is...

Like attracts like in a much more direct way there, so "do unto others as you would have done unto you" takes on a whole new meaning. Sadomasochism aside, th...

When you have a Lucid Dream, you have simply 'missed' the initial projection. They are just two different ways of entering the Astral Realm. In either case you are still conscious in the Astral, however, as there ar... Self Help William Ember Mon, 11 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=224085&ca=Self+Help People sometimes wonder why anyone would want to learn Astral Projection or Lucid Dreaming. Many have an idea or two they want to explore, but few people consider the extent of the rich possibilities. The benefits of Astral Experiences and the purposes which they can fulfill are very varied and nume... Self Help William Ember Mon, 11 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=224097&ca=Self+Help Very basically put, the Astral Plane is the dream dimension, but at the same time it is not just that. It would be more accurate to say the dream dimension is part of the Astral. From another perspective, the Astral is like a huge mind net, catching and holding all thoughts, memories, fantasies, and...
