The practice of phase states of the mind is the hottest and most
promising pursuit of the modern age. Unlike in the past, the notions
of “out-of-body experience” and “astral projection” have already lost
their mystical halo, and their real basis has been studied in minute
detail from the most non-nonsense approach. Now, this phenomenon
is accessible to everyone, regardless of their worldview. It is now
known how to easily master it and apply it effectively. This textbook
gives each and every person something that previously could only be
dreamt about - a parallel reality and the possibility of existing in two
worlds. This book is for pragmatic people who are not used to taking
anything on faith or reading about empty theories. The book only
deals with what works in practice, and nothing else.

Foreword
This guidebook is the result of ten years of extremely active
personal practice and study of the out-of-body phenomenon(the
phase), coupled with having successfully taught it to thousands of
people. I know all of the obstacles and problems that are usually run
into when getting to know this phenomenon, and have tried to protect
future practitioners from them in this book.
This guidebook was not created for those who prefer light, empty
reading. It is for those who would like to learn something. It contains
no speculations or stories, only dry, hard facts and techniques in
combination with a completely pragmatic approach and clear
procedures for action. They have all been successfully verified by a
vast number of practitioners that often had no prior experience. In
order to achieve the same result, it is only necessary to read through
each section thoroughly and complete the assignments.
The book is beneficial not only for beginners, but also for those who
already know what it feels like to have an out-of-body encounter and
have a certain amount of experience, as this guidebook is devoted not
only to entering the state, but also equally dedicated to controlling it.
Contrary to popular opinion, there is nothing difficult about this
phenomenon if one tries to attain it with regular and right effort. On
average, results are reached in less than a week if attempts are made
every day. More often than not, the techniques work in literally a
couple of attempts.

Part 1
Entering the Phase State
Chapter 1 – General Background
THE ESSENCE OF THE PHASE PHENOMENON
The term phase state (or simply phase) encompasses a number of
widely known dissociative phenomena, many of which are referred to
by various terms, such as astral or out-of-body experience. This
concept also includes the more pragmatic term lucid dreaming, but
does not always exist in the sense and form implied by that
expression. Hence, the term phase has been introduced to ease the
study of phenomena that exist beyond habitual – and often unfair -
associations and stereotypes. The term out-of-body experience is
accurate to the extent that it describes the sensation felt by a person
experiencing the phase phenomenon.
A phase has two primary attributes: 1.) practitioners possess full,
conscious awareness during the experience, and 2.) practitioners
recognize a genuine separation from the physical body.
Simultaneously, the degree to which practitioners perceive the
phase environment affects the level of sensory experiences therein,
which often occur in a higher form than the sensory experiences of
wakefulness. This concept is difficult to imagine without firsthand
experience of the phase. And so, it is not without reason that this
practice is considered to be a higher state of self-hypnosis or
meditation, and is often referred to under different names as the
highest possible human achievement in various religious and
mystical movements (yoga, Buddhism, etc.).

In essence, the phase is an unexplored state of mind where one is
unable to control and feel his physical body. Instead, his space
perception is filled with realistic phantom experiences.
Interesting Fact!
Sensations in the phase state can be so realistic
that practitioners who unintentionally enter phase
often believe they are still in the physical body, that
the experience is occurring in the waking state.
These types of unintended excursions most often
occur at night or early in the morning.
It is believed that up to one quarter of the human population has
encountered this phenomenon. However, if variations and different
degrees of intensity of the state are taken into consideration, it may
be safely assumed that everyone has encountered the phase. Since the
phase is a rare subject of study, many who inadvertently enter it do
not realize what has taken place once they return to wakefulness.
Many do not assign any significance to the occurrence of a phase
environment that is not fully formed because shallow phases don’t
leave the same jolting impression as deep states. Elusive as the phase
may seem, this is an extremely common phenomenon, accessible to
9
anyone willing to consciously learn and apply the correct methods of
achieving and maintaining the phase.
WHY ENTER THE PHASE?
Such a question can only arise from not fully understanding the
properties of the phenomenon and its nature. When one suddenly
understands at a certain moment that he is just as real as he normally
is, and is standing somewhere that is not in the physical world with
his same hands and body, and can touch everything around him and
discern fine details, such much emotion stirs up inside him that no
questions arise at all. This is the most amazing experience that a
person can attain!
The initial phase encounter is always jolting and sometimes
frightening. Depending on the individual, fear experienced during
initial encounters with the phase occurs in about one-third of all
cases. Even veteran practitioners encounter fear, which speaks to the
profound nature of the phase state.
With time, as rapture ebbs and emotions wane, thoughts turn from
the fact of the phenomenon itself towards how to somehow use it.
And here, a fantastically diverse field of practical application opens
up before the practitioner. These applications – which this book
communicates – are not to be associated with the many unproven and
dubious methods often described in sundry esoteric literature. The
information presented herein is verifiable, practical, and attainable.
Whatever the nature of the phase - a state of mind, or perhaps an
external experience - this is the sole opportunity to: visit any part of
the world or universe; see people who are out-of-reach in real life,
including relatives, the deceased, celebrities, and various creatures;
communicate with the enormous resources of the subconscious mind
and obtain information from it; realize desires that are unattainable in
real life; model artistic productions; influence physiology, and more.
These are not dull experiences. They are eminently personal and real.
