Glossary

  • Akasha: The underlying energetic medium, the ether, that permeates all dimensions.

  • Akashic: From, of, or related to Akasha.

  • Akashic Pulse: The cosmic outpouring of The Source, during an Akashic Pulse Episode. Also see: Akasha, Akashic Pulse Episode, Akashic Records, Astral Wind, Consciousness Seeds, The Source.

  • Akashic Pulse Episode: A regular cosmic interdimensional event, the frequency of which is unknown at this time. It begins with the Astral Wind collecting the projected doubles of all conscious beings in the universe, including those of sleepers, and transporting them to the highest dimensional level for adjustment by the Source, according to Karmic law. This event ends when the Akashic Pulse returns everyone back to their physical bodies, all then containing new or updated consciousness seeds. Also see: Akasha, Akashic Pulse, Akashic Records, Astral Wind, Karma, Karmic Law, The Source, Universal Law.


  • Akashic Records: An infinite, never-ending, interdimensional, energetic echo field, containing perpetual echo's generated by each and every act of consciousness, in energetic form. Levels of The Akashic Records can be accessed and perceived (viewed) in various ways during an OBE, with the most common being the traditional "library" scenario. While The Akashic Records are generally considered to be a structured esoteric repository of all knowledge, they are (according to the author) a natural, life-related, interdimensional phenomenon, an energetic medium that can be "accessed" and "perceived" in an "apparently" structured way. i.e., as containing detailed records of all past events; plus future probabilities generated by these, that can be perceived as "viewable" events. Past and future events can even be experienced "first-hand" during an OBE, with the projector entering a record/vision and becoming an invisible spectator. Also see: Akasha, Akashic Pulse Episode, Akashic Records, Astral Wind, Consciousness Seeds, Karma, Karmic Law, The Source, Universal Law.

  • Angle of Perception: In the context of this book, meaning the way in which a projector perceives the out-of-body environment during an OBE, with this being particularly affected by their energetic makeup at the time. Also see: Energetic Makeup.

  • Astral Body: The energetic vehicle (or projected double) used to travel within the astral planes. Also see: Real-Time Body.

  • Astral Feedback: Telepathic feedback between the physical/etheric body and its projected double. Also see: Complications Of Consciousness, Energetic Conflicts, Mind-Split, Mind-Split Effects.

  • Astral Momentum: The tendency of the projected double to continue moving after the mental/awareness action used to cause its movement it has ceased. Also see: Awareness Momentum.

  • Astral Noise: A harmless but often disturbing phenomenon. This is best described as being an auditory hallucination, where a projector hears loud noises and even voices around them, during the prelude to an OBE exit. Also see: Astral Sight, Astral Wildlife, Dweller On The Threshold, Elementals.

  • Astral-Plane Entrance Structure: A perception-based entrance structure, through which the internal parts of an astral plane can be entered. There are three main types: tube-type, plane-type and the tunnel of light. Which type is perceived by a projector during an OBE, is greatly affected by their energetic makeup at the time of their projection. Also see: Angle Of Perception, Astral-Plane Surface Skin, Energetic Makeup.

  • Astral Planes: The structured part of the astral dimension, which is reputedly divided into seven distinct levels (commonly called astral planes) with each of these containing many sub-levels and parts. Also see: Astral-Plane Entrance Structure, Astral Realms and Kingdoms, Astral Sub-Planes.

  • Astral-Plane Surface Skin: The surface skin of an astral plane. This is an infinite, two dimensional, grid-lined structure. Its surface is divided into neat squares, with each square having a base color and an elaborate centerpiece pattern, repeated endlessly in every other square. Also see: Angle Of Perception, Astral Plane Entrance Structure, Astral Planes, Energetic Makeup.

  • Astral Projection: An OBE, where the projector enters and operates within the astral dimension, or astral planes. Also see: Astral Planes, OBE, Real-Time Projection.

  • Astral Realms and Kingdoms: Distinct internal parts of the astral planes, with each having a set environment and theme. Varying greatly in size, from that of a small country village to an entire world or larger, these are sometimes inhabited by astral beings of varying intelligence.

  • Astral Sight: The visual sensory ability of the projected double during an OBE. Also used to describe an ability of the physical body to see into the astral dimension; which is a type of clairvoyance. This ability is often experienced by projectors during the prelude to an OBE, or during projection attempts where no actual exit is achieved. Also see: Astral Noise.

  • Astral Sub-Planes: Internal levels and parts contained within a single astral plane.

  • Astral Wildlife: Any energetic being or inhabitant of the lower astral planes, having a low order of intelligence. These beings are harmless to projectors, although many types have a mischievous, animalistic or negative disposition. Their power is limited to inducing fear in projectors, through various types of illusion, trickery and deception. Although best thought of as a rarity, these beings are occasionally found in the real time zone - mainly during the night, as they seem to avoid daylight.

  • Astral Wind: A phenomenon occasionally experienced by frequent projectors, where a strong wind-like force blows the projector up through the dimensional spectrum to The Great Center. Also see: Akashic Pulse, Akashic Pulse Episode, The Source.

  • Awareness Hands: Focal points of bodily awareness, used to manipulate and stimulate the etheric body and its energy centers. Also used for trance and OBE exit techniques. Also see: Mobile Bodily Awareness, Tactile Imaging.

  • Awareness Momentum: The nature of a bodily awareness action to continue on its own accord for some time after the deliberate awareness action that caused it has been ceased. Also see: Astral Momentum, Awareness Hands.

  • Awareness Resistance Factor: The resistance that is felt when Awareness Hands are moved too rapidly through the substance of the energy body. Also see: Awareness Hands, Bounce Action.

  • Bioenergetic: A construction based on "Energetic" relating in particular to energetic (energy) functions and manifestations of the human energy body that affect, are affected by, or are related to the biological functions of the physical body: I.E., raising energy causes energy movement that is felt as a physical sensation, resulting from "Bioenergetic" stimulation of nerve endings within the physical body. Also, Bioenergetic conflicts, Bioenergetic stimulation, Bioenergetic development, et cetera. Also see: Energetic, Energetically, Pure-Energetic, Energy-Movement Sensations.

  • Body Awareness: The sense of physical body awareness, the tactile sense of touch and feel, and the awareness of space occupied by the physical body. Also see: Awareness Hands, Mobile Body Awareness, Tactile Imaging.

  • Bounce Action: Where a point of body awareness is moved rapidly through the physical/etheric body to cause widespread stimulation in the etheric body. Also see: Awareness Resistance Factor.

  • Breath Awareness: Similar to an old Zen technique, where the breathing action is focused upon. Breath Awareness is used to empty the mind and hold it clear for extended periods of time, for meditation, trance work and astral projection.

  • Brow Center: A primary energy center (or major Chakra) situated in the brow, between the eyes. Also called The Third Eye. Also see: Chakras, Primary Energy Centers.

  • Buffer Zone: An in-between area, or zone, dividing two distinct dimensional levels.

  • Chakras: Eastern term, also called Psychic Center, Energy Center, or Primary Energy Center.

  • Cobwebs: An irritating, tickling, sometimes slightly-stinging, energy-movement sensation, that feels like cobwebs or tiny insects are touching the surface of the skin. Often felt during the trance state, this is most commonly felt in the facial area, although it can occur anywhere on the physical body. This is caused by energy movement through and over the skin of the physical body, which can over-stimulate nerves in the skin, causing mild irritation. Also see: Energy-Movement Sensations, Vibrations.

  • Complications Of Consciousness: Complications and conflicts caused by a nonphysical spirit incarnating in a biological being. Also see: Astral Feedback, Energetic Conflicts, Mind-Split, Mind-Split Effects.

  • Consciousness Seeds: Influential droplets of energy, or seeds, deposited into the physical/etheric body after an Akashic Pulse Episode. These set the relative strengths and weaknesses of the complex attractions and repulsions, that govern the actions of Universal Law, as set by Karmic Law. Also see: Akashic Pulse, Akashic Pulse Episode, Akashic Records, Astral Wind.

  • Deja-Vu: A type of precognitive experience, a feeling of inner knowing, of having seen, done or experienced something before an actual event. This phenomenon is (according to the author) a common side-effect of Akashic Pulse Episodes. Also see: Akashic Pulse Episode.

  • Dream: Dreaming is an internal mental process of the physical body, that normally occurs after it has fallen asleep. While the author classifies dreaming as an internal mental process, dreams take place in another set of dimensions, dream dimensions, which are no less real than any other dimension, i.e., The Astral Dimension. Lucid Dreams also take place in dream dimensions.

  • Duality: The sensation of realizing you are existing in two separate bodies, the physical body and its projected double, during an OBE. Duality is caused by the mind-split effect, and is usually only realized when perceptions are received from both bodies simultaneously. For example, you project and begin operating at a remote location from your physical body, but you are still aware of some sensory input, usually sounds and tactile senses, coming from your physical body. The center of consciousness will also often flicker back and forth, between the physical and its projected double during an OBE. Also see: Mind-Split, Mind-Split Effects, Remote Eye.

  • Dweller On The Threshold: A harmless but disturbing (often frightening) manifestation, where a projector is confronted by a dark, threatening being, immediately after they exit their physical body during an OBE. Also see: Astral Noise, Astral Wildlife, Elementals.

  • Elementals: Harmless beings with little power and very low intelligence. Often having a monkey-like appearance and mischievous nature, these beings seem to delight in frightening and tormenting novice projectors, through trickery and illusion, especially during their first few conscious exit projections. Also see: Astral Noise, Astral Wildlife, Dweller On The Threshold.

  • Energetic: Extensively used throughout this book. With no viable option the dictionary meaning of this word is "bent" to cover energy (Energetic) manifestation of the human energy body, and of its various subtle bodies, including its projected double: i.e., Energetic value, Energetic activity, Energetic aspect, Energetic function, et cetera. Also see: Energetically, Bioenergetic, Pure-Energetic, Etheric Body.

  • Energetically: An extension of "Energetic", relating to any type of energetic (energy) manifestation, sensation, affect or effect: i.e., Energetically speaking, Energetically sound, Energetically based, Energetically sensed, Energetically experienced, et cetera. Also see: Energetic, Bioenergetic, Pure-Energetic.

  • Energetic Angle of Perception: See: Angle of perception.

  • Energetic Conflicts: In the context of this book, meaning any energetic, empathic or telepathic conflicts between the physical/etheric body, and its projected double. Also meaning the energetic conflicts caused by the presence of awake consciousness, during a fully conscious OBE exit. Energetic conflicts are responsible for heavy exit sensations, e.g., rapid heartbeat, heavy vibrations, throbbing, pressure and adrenalin-like body rushes, often experienced by novice projectors during early OBEs. Also see: Astral Feedback, Complications Of Consciousness, Exit Sensations.

  • Energetic Makeup: The energetic quality, value and relative strength of a projected double. This is strongly affected by the active configuration of the primary energy centers (or major chakras) during an OBE. This sets the capabilities of a projected double. It also limits its level of operations to dimensional levels in tune with its energetic value at that time. Also see: Angle Of Perception.

  • Energy Body: See Etheric body.

  • Energy-Movement Sensations: As energy is generated, transformed, accumulated, and moved about the physical/etheric body, nerves within the physical body often become over-stimulated. This causes a variety of tingling, buzzing, throbbing, pulsing and fluttering sensations, often felt as sweeping through the physical body in waves, or as whole body adrenalin-like rushes. Also see: Bioenergetic, Cobwebs, Vibrations.

  • Etheric Body: The subtle body most closely associated with and enmeshed within the physical body. Also often called the energy body, etheric sheath, vitality sheath, vitality body, or perispirit. The etheric body can also be said to be the essential glue-like substance, that binds an incarnating spirit to the flesh of their physical body. Parts of the etheric body can be seen with clairvoyance (or auric sight) as extending an inch or so out from the physical body, as a band of pale-blue or off-white mist. Also see: Energetic, Etheric Matter.

  • Etheric Matter: The nonphysical energetic substance of the energy body (or etheric body). This can be caused to exist in a variety of different forms, and is best thought of as being something similar to ectoplasm, but is generally invisible to the naked eye. This can be seen with clairvoyance or auric sight, and will also often inexplicably appear on photographs, as pale, indistinct, cloudlike shapes and figures. Also see: Etheric Body, Thought Forms.

  • Etheric/Real-Time Double: The base-level energetic vehicle (or subtle body) generated during a Near Death Experience (NDE), after the physical body has become temporarily deceased. Also the state of existence experienced immediately after physical body death; which is usually within the real time zone. Also see: Etheric Body, NDE, Real-Time Body, Real-Time Zone.

  • Exit: In the context of this book, often meaning "The Exit" of the projectable double, as it leaves the confines of its physical body during an OBE or astral projection.

  • Exit Sensations: The often heavy energy-movement sensations, experienced during the exit phase of an OBE, e.g., rapid heartbeat, vibrations and pressure. Heavy exit sensations are often experienced by novice projectors during early projections. These always gradually ease, as experience and development are gained by a projector. Also see: Cobwebs, Energetic Conflicts, Energy-Movement Sensations, Vibrations.

  • Flicker Technique: A technique designed by the author, to help overcome OBE memory-loss problems. An OBE reentry technique, where consciousness is allowed to flicker between the sleep/awake state at a predetermined time. A brief window is thereby artificially created, by the flickering state, through which OBE memories can be downloaded into accessible levels of memory. Also See: Memory Download, Shadow Memory.

  • The Great Center: Top level of dimensional spectrum. Also see: The Source.

  • Inner-Body Projection: The internal transfer of waking consciousness into the Etheric Body, as the trance state is entered. This also occurs while falling asleep. Also see: Trance State.

  • Internal Dialogue: Surface mind chatter caused by random thoughts, also called monkey mind. Also See: Surface Mind.

  • Karma: In the author's opinion, Karma is what is referred to as Sin in the Holy Bible. Karma is the accumulated influential force generated by all past acts of consciousness, positive and negative, of good and bad deeds. Through Karma, a spirit is enabled to obtain the real life experiences it requires to progress spiritually (through living experience), via multiple incarnations into the physical dimension. Karma allows a spirit to maintain a healthy spiritual balance, life after life, and helps avoid the possibility of soul corruption. Karma is not a process of reward and punishment. Karma provides spiritual harmony through a process of enforced spiritual balance. Also see: Karmic Law, Universal Law.

  • Karmic Law: For every act of consciousness performed by an individual, an equal and opposite reaction is generated, which is eventually inflicted upon them in turn by Karmic Law. This is aptly expressed by the popular sayings: "What goes around comes around" or "as you sow so shall ye reap". Also see: Karma, Universal Law.

  • Koala: A Koala is a small, herbivorous, tree dwelling, bear-like, pouched mammal, found on the island continent of sunny Australia; commonly called a Koala Bear.

  • Kundalini: Kundalini is the traditional Eastern name for what is called: "the master circuit" within this book. Kundalini is the strongest of all human bioenergetic circuits - the ultimate bioenergetic expression of being. When this is fully activated (when Kundalini rises), a powerful, internal, snakelike energy movement is felt, often accompanied by a painful burning sensation. This "snakelike" force is felt as uncoiling three-and-a-half turns inside the physical body, in an upward and clockwise direction: hence the Eastern term often used to describe this profound energetic phenomenon: "The Serpent of Fire".

  • Lucid Dream: When a dreamer becomes aware, or wakes up inside a dream, they are said to be "lucid dreaming".

  • Lucid Dream Projection: A technique whereby a W.I.L.D. or Wake-Induced Lucid Dream, can be achieved as an alternative to a full OBE exit.

  • Memory Download: In the context of this book, meaning the downloading of OBE memories into conscious and recallable memory storage levels, of the physical/etheric body/mind. Failed memory downloading occurs when OBE memories are downloaded into subconscious and unconscious levels of memory. This is the primary cause of the vast majority of failed OBEs. Without the memory of it, an OBE did not take place; not according to the conscious mind and its recallable memories, after a failed memory download, or failed OBE. Also see: Shadow Memory.

  • Metaphorical Imagery: Within the context of this book, this term particularly applies to live action visions and OBE vision experiences, viewed or experienced first-hand during an OBE. These contain layered metaphorical symbols and symbolic actions, full of hidden meaning, often disguised as apparently real life scenes, during visions and out-of-body vision experiences.

  • Mind-Split: The splitting of consciousness into two identical parts, that occurs during any type of OBE. The mind-split occurs at the beginning of any OBE, prior to the exit of the projected double out of its physical counterpart. There are two bodies during an OBE (one physical and one subtle or energetic - projected double). Two minds (one physical and one energetic) therefore exist. Each of these function independently for the duration of an OBE, until reentry occurs where they reintegrate, becoming one mind again. Also see: Mind-Split Effects.

  • Mind-Split Effects: In particular, the effects the mind-split has upon OBE memory recall. The commonly felt sensations of dual existence, that of existing in more than one place at the same time, during an OBE. Also meaning the telepathic, energetic and empathic interactions and conflicts, that occur between the physical body/mind and its projected body/mind. Also see: Astral Feedback, Complications Of Consciousness, Energetic Conflicts, Memory Download, Mind-Split.

  • Mobile Body Awareness (MBA): The ability to move and focus body awareness at different locations, on or within the physical body. Also see: Awareness Hands, Body Awareness, Tactile Imaging.

  • Near-Death Experience (NDE): Where a person temporarily dies and experiences a powerful OBE, until they are resuscitated. Also see: Etheric/Real-Time Double.


  • Out-of-Body Experience (OBE): Where consciousness is perceived as existing and operating outside of its physical body. Also called OOBE, projection, or astral projection.

  • Physical/Etheric body: Combined physical and etheric bodies. In particular, where these are experiencing the trance state, where the etheric body has become active and expanded slightly. Also applies to the physical/etheric body during an OBE, after the projected double has already parted. See also: Etheric Body, Inner-Body projection, Mind-Split, Trance State.

  • Primary Energy Centers: The major bioenergetic organs, or energetic transformers, of the energy body. Also see: Chakras.

  • Projectable Double: Internally generated real time double, prior to its projection out of its physical/etheric body; where it then becomes the projected double.

  • Projected Double: The energetic vehicle (or subtle body) housing a functioning, energetic copy of a projector's mind and memories, outside of their physical body during any type of OBE.

  • Projection Mechanism: The energetic mechanism that generates and then ejects the projectable double, outside the bounds of its physical body, during the OBE or projection exit. Also see: Exit, Projection Reflex.

  • Projection Reflex: When the projection mechanism gets to a certain stage, the energetic point of no return is reached. The ejection of the projectable double outside the bounds of its physical body, then becomes a reflex action. An OBE cannot be aborted once the projection reflex has been triggered. Also see: Projected Double, Projection Mechanism.

  • Pure-Energetic: A construction based on "Energetic" relating in particular to high-level energetic (energy) functions and manifestations, of the human energy body, that do not specifically apply to its physical body. For example, the higher energetic (energy) functions of the energy body and its primary energy centers (major chakras) cause psychic abilities. A psychic ability is thus a Pure-Energetic function, or Pure Energy manifestation, of the human energy body. However, Pure-Energetic manifestations will often cause Bioenergetic sensations, felt as physical sensations, i.e., the typical throbbing and buzzing emanating from active primary energy centers (major chakras). Pure-Energetic can also refer to energetic functions and manifestations of subtle bodies above the human energy body, i.e., the astral body. Also see: Bioenergetic, Energetic, Energetically, Etheric Body, Primary Energy Centers.

  • Real-Time Body: The subtle body (or energetic vehicle) that houses a projector's reflection of consciousness, mind and memory during an OBE, and holds it close to the physical dimension in the Real-Time Zone. Also see: Real-Time Projection, Real-Time Zone.

  • Real-Time Projection: An OBE, where a projector exists in a direct reflection of reality, where they have the perception of being an invisible person in the real world, observing real life events as they happen. Also see: Real-Time Body, Real-Time Zone.

  • Real-Time Sight: Similar to Astral Sight, but where the projector sees into the real time zone around them. Also related to clairvoyance, this ability is often experienced during the prelude to an OBE, or during a projection attempt where no exit is achieved. This is often mistaken for normal optical sight, but where the projector is seeing through their closed eyelids and bed covers. Also see: Astral Sight.

  • Real-Time Zone: The closest nonphysical dimensional area to the physical universe. A buffer zone separating the physical universe from the astral dimension proper. The real time zone is neither in the astral dimension, nor in the physical dimension. It is a nonphysical dimensional environment that contains a direct reflection of reality, as reality happens, i.e., in a real time frame. Also see: Real-Time Body, Real-Time Projection.

  • Reality Fluctuations: Fluctuations in the out-of-body environment, changing what is perceived as being real or normal at that time, into something that is known to be false or inaccurate.

  • Reentry: When the projected double returns to and reenters its physical counterpart at the end of any type of OBE. Also see: Reintegration.

  • Reintegration: The automatic energetic process, whereby the projected double is reintegrated with its physical/etheric body. Also see: Reentry.

  • Remote Eye: A mind-split effect. This phenomenon is a type of OBE, but where the projector remains partially awake and ambulatory. A weak version of the mind split occurs, and type of a low-powered OBE happens. The OBE side of this type of experience is perceived by the partially awake physical body of the projector, as a vivid mind's-eye vision of an OBE in progress, from the projected double's perspective, but where no actual OBE exit has been noticed. Also see: Duality, Complications Of Consciousness, Duality, Mind-Split, Mind-Split Effects.

  • Rope: A OBE projection exit technique, using Awareness Hands to climb an imaginary Rope. Also see: Awareness Hands, Tactile Imaging?.??.

  • Secondary Energy Centers: Minor energy centers (minor Chakras) that support the primary energy centers. Also see: Chakras, Primary Energy Centers.

  • Shadow Memory: Any dream or OBE experience memory, gained by any subtle or dream or projected body while it is separated, or while it perceives itself to be separated, from its physical body. Also see: Memory Download.

  • Silver Cord: The energetic, telepathic, empathic linkage that connects the physical body to its projected double. This is often seen as a sparkling Silver Cord, extending away from the projected double during an OBE. This is usually only seen when it is deliberately looked for. The site of attachment on the projected double varies, according to its energetic makeup at the time of projection. Also see: Energetic Makeup.

  • Sleep Projection: Natural sleep projection occurs whenever a person sleeps. The projected double is projected outside the physical body during sleep, often floating just above it and mimicking the sleeping position of its physical body. Alternatively, a sleep projector may travel the astral planes for some time before falling asleep. Also see: Akashic Pulse Episode, Astral Wind.

  • The Source: The Supreme Being. The central creative consciousness of the physical universe. The Source is the original spark of consciousness that creates and maintains the universe, and all that lies and lives within it. Also see: The Great Center.

  • Storage Centers: In the context of this book, these are called the sub-navel, sub-heart and sub-brow energy storage centers. These are the major energy storage areas of the energy body, with each storing a different type of energy.

  • Strobe Effect: When a primary energy centre accumulates a critical charge of energy, it strobes powerfully. When the brow centre (or brow chakra) strobes, it causes a brilliant flash of silver-white light to be seen in the mind's eye, and a feeling of very-light concussion to be felt, in the whole facial area.

  • Surface Mind: The most commonly used part of the human mind, that can be said to hold the short-term working memory. Used for light thinking and internal mental speech, it spontaneously generates a constant stream of random thoughts and impressions. This part of the mind is responsible for the ceaseless internal mental dialogue found within an untrained or unfocused mind. Also see: Internal Dialogue.

  • Tactile Imaging (T.I.): The active use of focused body awareness, to manipulate and stimulate the energy body, to raise energy into it and stimulate its energy centers. T.I. is also used for projection techniques. Also see: Awareness Hands, Mobile Body Awareness.

  • Tertiary Energy Centers: Tiny, pore-like energy centers found all over the body, like the pores of the skin. These are heavily concentrated in several areas, e.g., palms of hands, soles of feet, mouth and genitals. These exchange energy with the environment, and energetically support the functions of the larger secondary and primary energy centers. Also see: Chakras, Primary Energy Centers, Secondary Energy Centers, Storage Centers.

  • Third Eye: See, Brow Center.

  • Thought Forms: Energetic objects, thought creations, created by a sustained thought or act of consciousness, and then existing for a limited time in the out-of-body environment. Thought forms are best considered as being composed of structured Etheric Matter. Thought forms can take any shape: human, animal or inanimate object. Reputedly, they can be programmed to react to stimuli, to perform independent actions, and even to take on a limited kind of pseudoconsciousness of their own. The length of time a thought form can exist, depends largely upon the strength and duration of the thought used to create and maintain it. Also see: Etheric Matter.

  • Torso Energy Rush: The adrenalin-like energetic body rush, felt by the physical body as rushing upwards through its legs and torso, as its projected double begins to exit or reenter it. Also see: Energy-Movement Sensations, Exit, Projection Mechanism, Projection Reflex.

  • Trance State: The altered state of being entered when the physical body falls asleep, while the mind stays wide awake. The trance state has many levels and uses, with each level being related to a level of sleep. Altered states of consciousness are attained, by staying awake and varying the level and focus of the trance state.

     

    Also see: Inner-Body Projection.

    • Light Trance: Similar to the Alpha trance state.

    • Full Trance: Similar to the Theta trance state.

    • Deep Trance: Similar to the Delta trance state.

  • Trigger Word or Phrase: A descriptive word or short phrase used during the reentry phase of an OBE, to help strengthen OBE memory recall. Also see: Memory Download, Reentry, Reintegration, Shadow Memory.

  • Universal Law: The incredibly complex set of attractions and repulsions and conditional influences, that emanates from every conscious being. Like may attract like and opposites may often attract, but only as set by karmic law. Also see: Akashic Pulse Episode, Consciousness Seeds, Deja vu, Karma, Karmic Law.

  • Vibrations: In the context of this book, meaning strong, usually whole-body, energy-movement sensation, that are felt as vibrations in the physical body. This is associated with the internal generation of the projectable double, at the start of an OBE. Also see: Energetic Conflicts, Energy-Movement Sensations, Exit, Projection Mechanism.

  • Virtual Reality Projection (VRP): V.R.P. is a technique whereby a custom made astral realm can be created and then entered.

  • Wake Induced Lucid Dream. (W.I.L.D.): A term coined by S. LaBerge (see bibliography). A deliberately induced lucid dream, from a deeply relaxed but awake state, where there has been no discernible break in consciousness. A W.I.L.D. dreamer enters a dreamscape directly from the full waking state. Although technically a lucid dream, this is possibly the most powerful type of OBE possible. Also see: Dream, Lucid Dream, Lucid Dream Projection.

  • Waking Paralysis: Also called sleep paralysis. Disassociation between the physical body and its mind, often causing total physical paralysis to occur. In the author's opinion, this is a powerful mind-split effect caused by OBE. The mind literally wakes up inside its disassociated, paralyzed physical body while a powerful OBE is still in full progress. Also see: Complications Of Consciousness, Mind-Split, Mind-Split Effects.
