The Parallel Reality

OUTSIDE THE BODY

And An Alternative To The Virtual World

 Lucid dreaming, near-death experiences, direct contacts with representatives of other civilizations, parallel dimensions, Alice’s looking-glass world, belief in saints, out-of-body experience(OBE), astral projection - who would have thought that all these phenomena are of a single nature. Even a superficial examination of these phenomenal situations will reveal common features between them. This Something is so multifaceted and manifests itself so variedly that the author of this book was required to introduce a new term (”phase”) in order to dispose of any possible stereotypes and consider the question with a mind clear of prejudice.

Science has yet been unable to precisely characterize the phenomenon extracorporeal sensation, but it is able to propose that it is a peculiar condition of the human consciousness, of which many examples are given in the book. It is real to such an extent that a person often fails to notice the difference between it and everyday life. In the book ”OUTSIDE THE BODY” the properties and characteristics of the behaviour of the space in this condition and its objects are described for the first time. For example, there it is also possible drink juice and taste it for real, it is possible to bump into a wall and feel pain, it is possible to find or create a simulated double of a real person and begin to talk to him or her, it is possible to see colours which are insusceptible in reality, and it is even possible to have sex and experience a genuine orgasm, and these are only some of the characteristics.

This book presents an exclusively sober view of the nature of the ”out-of-body” phenomenon and deals only with what each individual can ”touch”, not mystical theories, although the book makes brief mention of them. The book is intended for those who want to believe, want to probe something unusual and fantastic, but do not want to believe in any old drivel offered by various occult teachings and practitioners, although followers of such trends will find in it many items of interest.

For the first time, the broad sphere of applying ”out-of-body travels” for pragmatic purposes has been covered. Books on this topic usually limit themselves to the theories and techniques of entering this remarkable state, but nobody could have dreamt that it was possible to apply it for practical purposes in everyday life. And many such purposes can be found based purely on the fact that it is a condition of the brain in which contact with the subconscious is sharpened.

it is entirely possible to meet and communicate with any person for real, including celebrities, be it Elvis Presley or Pamela Anderson;

it is possible to speak once more with a dead relative, hear their voice and see their eyes;

• it is possible to obtain any information you wish;
• it is possible to apply it as an alternative to the most advanced computer games, only this time it is not a flat screen but a fully-sized dimension with ultra-lifelike movement and other sensations;
• it is possible to influence health;
• it is possible to develop super-abilities;
• it is possible to acquire new valuable opportunities for invalids;
• it is possible to apply it in the capacity of simple entertainment;
• it is possible to study languages;

Several tens of such fields are discussed in total.

The book also describes not only tried techniques for entering this state, but ways to enhance, maintain and control it. In total there are over 50 techniques. They are all described by a practitioner and many have been elaborated by the author of the book.

Most importantly, the book has been written not by a theoretician, but an experienced practitioner and researcher of this issue, who analyses every step taken in this world and finds uses in the real world for normal people. The book contains many extracts from the author’s investigative diaries with first-hand descriptions.

Some quotes:

First Phase

It was an ordinary, not remarkable in any way day. I went to bed with a feeling that I lost other 12 precious hours of my life. As usual, I couldn’t fall asleep for quite a long time and started to ponder over all sorts of things. And, of course, I didn�t notice how my eyes closed. I like to play sports and probably that’s why I sleep the sleep of the just, although I do find id difficult to fall asleep, because of all the thoughts and dreams which are inside of my head and for which I can hardly find time during the day.

Everything was like one thousand times before. Then I suddenly woke up. Unfortunately I can’t say exactly for how long I had been asleep, but, probably, for two or three hours. There was nothing unusual in my wakening as it is a scientifically proved fact that during the night we wake up at least every hour and a half, at the end of every sleeping cycle, we just don’t remember it. But there was something unusual about that one. But I couldn’t understand what exactly was wrong. It was the middle of the night and even if I did wake up I should have felt drowsy but I was as sprightly as never. My mind was clear. And there was something else/

Before I could determine anything else, a sudden thought paralyzed me: I was being taken away, I was being abducted by THEM!!! The thought stroke me. What I felt that moment could be compared to the greatest shock, the only difference is that I had all the symptoms at once. My world turned upside down as well as my insides. At that moment I couldn’t explain even to myself why I was so sure that I was being abducted by extraterrestrials, but I had no doubt that my guess was right. I knew it, I simply knew it. And what happened next proved that I wasn’t going mad. �When that thought came to my mind I got a feeling that high-tension current went through my body, which didn’t harm me, but made every cell of my body vibrate. And, the most important was that I could not move. Only my eyelids obeyed me. I’d never been so scared in my life. All the sensations were more than real, so my last doubts disappeared.

I want you to understand my attitude to the events I’m narrating. From early childhood I was maniacally captivated by UFO, and dreamed about being let into a saucer or meet ET’s. Any person who shares my interests inevitably dreams about it. So it was my dream, but when it abandoned the fantasy world and turned into an immediate possibility, I found out that I wasn’t actually ready. It is one thing to talk about it at 10 o’clock in the morning while being in a company of other people, when you understand that there’s nothing to be frightened about. �But when you’re alone in the dark, completely scared and paralyzed you see the things from a very different perspective.

In my mind I kept asking those creatures to postpone my journey, saying that I wasn’t in the mood, and that everything would be fine next time. At the same time I damned myself for my weakness, I understood that such things do not happen every other day. I was lying on one side facing a wall, so I could not see the rest of the room, but I didn’t hope to see anybody because I decided that they were doing it from their ship, but for all that I was sure that they did hear my thoughts. But it seemed that my mood didn’t bother them as something lifted me up from my bed.

My heart could not beat faster. I pleaded them to stop. And they did it. As cautiously as they lifted me up, they put me down. I couldn’t be happier. I felt that I was born again. A sigh with relief escaped my lungs. But it was too early for Champaign.

Not giving me a chance to enjoy my lucky escape, they lifted me up again and carried me to the window. I still could not move, no matter how hard I tried. All I managed to do was to seize one side of the blanket when I was already in the air. But it seemed that the blanked weighted more than a ton, so I had to let it go. That moment I understood how hopeless my situation was. I had no chance to break free. Then something roused my interest and I almost forgot how frightened I was.

I was moving feet first towards the window but I could see that it was closed. So, I became curious how they were going to drag me outside. Everything was so real that I did hope that they wouldn’t use me for glass breaking. And I knew that they wouldn’t do it. Being the representatives of a kind standing on an advanced stage of development they would find the way to spare me from unpleasant experiences and to save the windows. When I was near the window I closed my eyes in order to intensify the new sensations and not to break the window (I don’t know why I decided it would help). �But I felt almost nothing, only some imperceptible plane went through my body from head to toes.

I opened my eyes. I was outside, on the level of the third floor just opposite my window. Cloudless sky was studded with stars. I’d never looked at the stars from that position and it was unforgettable. By that time I managed to beat my fear, what was the point? I decided to make the most of it. I was even glad that they didn’t listen to me and dragged me out of bed because I would never dare to do it myself.

My fear subsided and I managed to relax and even complained about the weather, as it was rather cold and I was wearing Adam’s costume. I just managed to reconcile myself with the destiny and started to look at the bright side, as the next moment I was already in my room and in my bed. My first thought was ”thanks God, it was just a dream”. But then I realized that such thought was a matter of habit, because I personally didn’t believe that it was just a nightmare.

I had no doubts that it was not a dream because dreams can not be so real. I also was sure that I was abducted by ETs. My sudden wakening in my room could be explained by the fact that everything that happened after my leaving the flat was simply wiped out from my memory.

Of course, I was very much excited. I had been abducted by ETs! I’d been inside the saucer! And it’s not a big deal that I don’t remember the details. I believed that it was the universal scale event and that from now on every new day of my life would be a day of a new life. I wasn’t interested why me. I guess I thought that my fascination with UFO explained everything. I could not be more naïve.

But the fact that I’d been inside the saucer and then was brought back didn’t mean I was not scared any more. It was not long before dawn when I finally managed to fall asleep, so much I was afraid to close my eyes. I’m still very much surprised by my own ”courage”.

But don’t be such strict judges. At that time UFOphobia was my every day’s companion (I can be wrong about the term, because I’ve never heard about such phobias, but I think it is the right one). That phobia had been bothering me since I was five, and it disappeared only when I started to practice aing. Before that I couldn’t sleep, if I was alone in the room, so scared I was that they would come. The fear wouldn’t let me be even during day time if I was alone in the flat. It’s a real mental disorder and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one suffering, but for some reasons nobody ever talked about it. But may be it was just a childhood fear which not only did not disappear in the future, but intensified instead, influenced by new interests and rich imagination.

Any way, my out-of-body experiences took roots from my phobia. It was the irrational fear which caused vibrations intensive enough to help me to get into phase. As I’ll tell you later when you get into phase for the first time, you experience exactly what you expect to. So, it’s not surprising that I saw UFO. Probably I would have never found out that it was possible to part with the body if I hadn’t had flown to the saucer. As I later found out the price I had to pay for that important discovery was years of unpleasant illness which I had had earlier. But I have no regrets.

Time went by but I kept thinking about the events of that night. I savoured every detail and felt really pleased. I knew that what had happened to me was something people just read and dreamed about. But now it became one of the most important events in my life. Although at that time I thought it was something different – I thought I was abducted by extraterrestrials.

I had always been more than interested in UFO; can you imagine how obsessed I became? Special magazines, X files. Everything gave me the sense of belonging, and the sense of self-importance. I felt that I was the chosen one who had a very special kind of knowledge. Once in a UFO magazine I read about the experience of a man which was very similar to my own, the only difference was that he remembered ETs. But at that time I didn’t understand what really happened to him, and something tells me that man still thinks he met ETs.

That my experience gave me no rest, that’s why I soon found out several discrepancies. First of all I was lying under a blanket, but when it was happening I felt that I was lying above the blanket. The only possible explanation is that they were abducting my soul and not my body, but then how did I manage to grab the blanket? The discrepancies which I wasn’t able to explain I tried to burry in the backyard of my consciousness, otherwise I would have reached an impasse. Secondly, I didn’t have an answer why there was no spaceship outside and why there was no lapse of memory between my real wakening in the bed and last moments outside, besides the one which I invented myself in order to explain my quick returning to the body. I couldn’t find any reasonable explanation and blamed it on supernatural powers of the third kind. Actually it could become a universal explanation and it was all I had. I guess that somewhere deep inside I knew that it wasn’t abduction but it wasn’t a dream either. I didn’t even dare to think that it could be something else.

I’m not an extraordinary person endowed with some supernatural ability. And I think there’re many other people who experienced the same thing and then were as I deluded. It had been going on for a way too long and gave life to several mad ideas and moods, because everybody in that state sees what they are obsessed with: God, the dead, clinical death, etc.

If I hadn’t been so lucky I could have become one of those seventy year old men who tell their grand children about their encounter with the third kind when they were twenty. A lot happened in my life which made me seek answers to all the questions, and something helped me to touch the ground of all the events which took place.

After some time I started to forget my flying experience. Workaday routine got the crown.

As I’ve already mentioned, I engage in sports and because of that my body needs a lot of rest, so I have to use every possibility. So, it’s not surprising that I often slept during the day. On that fateful day I decided to have a nap. It was very typical of me and frankly speaking I still don’t understand why that particular day became so special.

I was sure that it would be an ordinary sleep which would give my body the needed rest, so I made myself comfortable on the sofa. According to some laws which are beyond our understanding the most unusual happens when we don’t expect it. It was the time.

I don’t remember how I fell asleep, and it’s not very important. But I do remember how I woke up and I guess I will remember it all my life.

I woke up and very soon understood that something was wrong. I tried to change my position but didn’t succeed. I couldn’t move even a finger! Catastrophe! I gave it another try, but everything was useless. At the same time I felt as if something turned my body into stone and made it vibrate with the finest amplitude. My ears were filled with thundering rumble. I tried to break the shackles but it only intensified both vibrations and rumble. What should a person think in such situation? It certainly wasn’t about ETs that time. I thought I was dying. And somehow this thought didn’t fill me with joy and happiness. I would have rather slept. The fear to die ran high. In vain I tried to bring my soul back i.e. to get control over my body, but my soul either hadn’t left it in the first place or I simply couldn’t make my head work in the right way, which is not surprising considering my condition.

It wasn’t the time to conduct experiments, I just wanted to survive. Besides, I was troubled by some vague memories from long gone past, which were not connected to my ”abduction”. I had a feeling that it wasn’t happening for the first time; all the sensations were a way too familiar. Most likely at least once I had already gone through all of this, and may be not long time ago. It is the common knowledge that we often don’t remember the events which take place at night between our dreams. But such thoughts were somewhere in the backyard of my consciousness.

Five minutes went by and nothing changed. I was scared and, although there was no pain, I wouldn’t call the sensations pleasant. All of a sudden with great effort I managed to move one finger and almost immediately my body found its way out of that stupor, the condition I wouldn’t wish for anybody, even the bitterest enemy. I jumped out of bed and breathed with relief. Just seconds ago I was lying on the sofa and was more helpless than a newborn, I even felt sorry for myself, although, believe me, it doesn’t happen very often. I was on the seventh cloud, as in the beginning I did believe that it was a miracle saved me from inevitable death.

Soon I understood that it wasn’t an impending death. Then I put out of my head the abduction theory, because the only difference between the two cases was the absence of flying experience in the second one. Everything else was almost identical. So, if it was neither an impending death, nor abduction, then what? Suddenly a new thought came to my mind. I had already heard about it somewhere. Somebody called this phenomenon ”astral flight”.

I needed several days to come to such conclusion. This incident had already started to recede into the background, but then again I decided to take a nap during daytime. After the last incident I got a habit to recall all the nerve-racking events which took place last time before I fell asleep. So, I made myself comfortable, closed my eyes and then woke up-in a stupor. �Once again I had to go through all of that before I managed to break free. Now it became more of a rule than of a fortuity.

Only later I managed to explain to myself the reason for that stupor from scientific point of view, although I still don’t understand why it influenced my ability to part with the body, because according to scientists it is not one of the characteristics of catalepsy, but probably nobody paid any attention to it.

The first description of catalepsy appeared in 1636, and it was made by a German scientist Daniel Schwenter: Even the wildest chicken can be made completely motionless. Just put it on the table, press the beak to the surface and then draw a straight line, starting from the beak, and then take your hands away. Completely scared the chicken will stay where you’ve left it, not taking its eyes off the line. At that time many people believed that a chicken thought the line to be a rope, so it considered itself to be hanged and that’s why it didn’t move (I’m not joking). Much later Doctor conducted a very interesting and important experiment. Having left one lamb with its mother and another one alone he put out the light and switched on the low current which went by the means of the wires attached to the legs of both lambs. What did he get? The lamb which was with its mother jumped up, twitched and ran to its mother, where it quickly calmed down and returned to what it had been doing before. The second one froze with fear. For nearly an hour it was lying stricken with catalepsy. These two experiences clearly show that such condition can be tricked by sudden fear or shock.

Such condition is very typical for people as well. There’re even several expressions such as I’ve stopped half freeze in my tracks, I could move neither my toe, nor my finger, I was dumbfounded, etc. Pavlov called this condition ”conservative inhibition”, as people often fall into that state in some stressful situations (during a fire or an earthquake). Some scientists consider catalepsy to be the initial and basic form of life. For many animals it is a normal way of living and they spend a considerable part of their life in that condition. For example, diminutive cat-fish spends 30% of its life in that condition, grass frog – 60%, rabbits and guinea pigs - 5%.

Going back to my ”abduction”, I think I first woke up and imagined something terrifying, and then I remembered about UFO. At night our consciousness is almost as vulnerable to all feelings as it is when we sleep, that’s why it easily gave in to emotions, and my relaxed body did the other part of the work. Most likely it was the combination of catalepsy and my sleepy state of mind which let me part with the body. Speaking about the second incident, I can say that there was no initial fear, it came later. I simply woke up already being in catalepsy, which sometimes happens, but it takes place at night and in the morning we forget about it.

It is interesting to note that catalepsy was my companion only in the beginning. It never again took hold of my body spontaneously, but I learned to achieve this condition on purpose by the means of auto-suggestion only. I didn’t need fear any more. This skill can be useful for anybody who wants to practice aing, because it definitely helps to get into phase by artificially recreating situations which happened in my life. In order to learn to use the techniques which will be described later.
