Hi, Guys! How are we doing?

Let us suppose, for the sake of these monologues, that we have decided to practice Ophiel’s, Art & Practice of Astral Projection! It is #3, Ego Body, who has decided, this course of action, as it (#3, body) feels, that it would be of, great advantage? to them! But! (And there is always? a but…! in Magic!?) #3, Ego Body, does not know of, the other Bodies? So, #3, gets the #0 body, to do/go thru the motions of Ophiel’s Little System Route, and Bodies #1, #2 and #4 IGNORE!?! DO-NOT-CONTRIBUTE!? TO THE TASK-AT-HAND!? After several weeks of trying and faithfully following Ophiel’s instructions, NOTHING HAPPENS!?

The #0 body = outer, outer physically physical you are under, the command, instruction of, the #3 body = ego/personality body you!? It is the, EGO/PERSONA, that is doing/trying this without the, CO-OPERATION, CO-ORDINATION, of the other Bodies?? How many times, in our lives, can we point too and say, that is what happened to me!?! How many times, in our lives, can we say, THAT IS HAPPENING TO ME (Me = #3 Ego/Personality Body) NOW! RIGHT NOW!?! Here is what Ophiel writes, in his vignette, Astral Projection, in the file section of the group, e-book version be Stephen Walford.

“Other signs of easy detachment are the ways in which our, imaginative powers can extend our physical powers, the ways in which we can develop Clairvoyance (See 'Ophiel's' books) and other Powers. The ways by which all of us pick up some psychometry, and learn to recognise the powers we already have now. And which is the most important thing of all, to be able to RECOGNISE? these workings, the present workings we now all possess and by knowing them, increase these powers and increase their potency. After the above brief, preliminary, introduction we will return to the subject of this Vignette.” End quote.

Do you? Can you? Recognise Your Other Bodies? If you #3, are able to sense/feel = OBSERVE the Flow of your Etheric Matter, as it rushes to BIND the Opposite/Adverse side of the Force that you USE, in the Chair Exercise, and if you are able to sense/feel your Five Basic Elemental Force Symbols, within you, about you, surrounding you, in their THREE-DIMENSIONAL REALITY!?! Then you are, already recognising, THAT THEY ARE THERE and HOW THEY WORK-TOGETHER, CO-OPERATE-TOGETHER and WHY, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THEN THE OBJECT, CIRCUMSTANCE, THING and/or IT! HAPPENS FOR YOU #3!?! (In the Cosmic Egg/Chair Exercise, you are already Projecting!?!) Then Ophiel writes.

“Astral Projection, as it is called and referred too, generally means to Leave the physical body, and go elsewhere, elsewhere being what was considered to be a Plane named the Astral Plane. I want to correct several things-ideas right now, there are, depending on what teaching-book you are reading, seven planes, roughly considered. (For more exact knowledge about these seven planes see Ophiel’s other books and his correspondence course on Astral Projections.) I will use some ordinary English names here - - Physical Plane -- Etheric Plane -- Lower Astral -- Higher Astral -- Mental Plane -- Higher Mental -- Archetypal Plane. (In this small article I cannot go too deeply into these planes and their meanings. Please see 'Ophiel's' other books and writings.)” End quote.

Leaving aside, the Higher and Lower, of any Plane, as every Plane must have!? a Higher and Lower, otherwise it could not touch the Plane above or the Plane below!?! So, therefore we have, Physical Plane, Etheric Plane, Astral Plane, Mental Plane, Archetypal Plane and Causal Plane!?! For our presentation, we have, indicated the duality of the Physical Plane which is Outer, outer physically physical Earth and Outer/Inner, Malkuth Earth/Hades Plane, as #0 = O/O/P/P Plane and #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades Plane. #2 = Etheric Plane Visualisation and #4 = Astral Plane Emotion/Imagination. THE DOMINANT and in many cases DISRUPTIVE BODY, IS #3 = Ego/Personality Body!?! Which, if UN-ATTACHED!?! (Un-Earthed) WITH THE OTHER BODIES IS THE REAL!?! DEVIL THAT USES/ABUSES YOU, #1 BODY!! 

(See/Read Ophiel’s vignettes; The Other You; Your Other You; Why Do You Let the Devil USE You? Your Loyal Opposition; etc, etc.)

#3 Body, does not know of the resistance-ness, of the first/next plane up/in #1, Malkuth Earth/Hades!?! and so, does-not-stand-still!?! #3 body, does not know about binding, and so, it, #3 ego/personality body, Binds, the wrong side of the/any, invoked force!? and so, #3 body, gets the impression!? that they are sabotaging themselves!? which is perfectly true but! what they, #3 ego body, do not understand, is how? and/or why? Ophiel explains why this is, in his next paragraphs:

“When you Project, by several different methods, you do not LEAVE THE BODY! (If you read a book about Astral Projection and the author says that you Leave the Body and go Off somewhere, leaving a shell of a body behind/empty, you can depend on the fact that that author is a fake!) YOU DO NOT LEAVE THE BODY!!! In any kind of Projections, YOU TRANSFER YOUR CENTRE OF CONSCIOUSNESS TO ANOTHER PLANE!!!! This Transfer of your centre of consciousness, and not all of you, does away with that old boggy about some, e-vile spirit will come along and take over your empty body shell. Most of you is there at all times, and running the body's living machinery. With that out of the way, we can proceed onto the first projection kind of work-projections.” End quote. (Capitols are O’s.)

The, Chair Exercise and Cosmic Egg Exercise, will/shall assist in the/this Transfer, as it is Working-with, Co-operating with and Sharing with, #0, #1, #2 and #3 Bodies which will/shall re-enforce, enhance, affirm #4 Body!! Then Ophiel continues: “(Note -- All projections are, actually, all the same. Projections are really not projections, in the sense of, out of, away from, the body. All projections are transfers of centres of consciousness, to other centres of consciousness, and they function as if it is a 'projection.' There are great 'mysteries' here but you don't have to know it all now for simple types of projection described here. Go along for now as it is)” End quote.

An Occult student would be better placed, if/when they are introduced to, The Bodies, and are then placed in a position, to compare/contrast/observe a possible way of Interacting, Co-Operating, Sharing, Becoming Friends with each Body (Body = Different Levels/Centres of Conscious Aware-ness, Awake-ness, Conscious-ness) through the way that each Body/Plane/Level, has its, Rules, Laws, Governances and Functions!?! Here is a perfect example of what is meant by this, Ophiel writes in his next paragraph:

“The following directions lay out and explains a system of projection, which I discovered and have named The Little System. There are a number of things that you will use, have to use, in any kind of a projection system, and to gain some proficiency and practice is what the Little System was designed and adapted for. I repeat there are certain practices, such as visualisation and image retention and recall and moving in a projection, and other things that are demonstrated and used in the Little System. I suggest you perfect these things, using the Little System. End quote.

The #3 Body, is the one that USURPS all the other bodies! The Tyrant King of Old (See/Read the Myths about this condition/state) in Ophiel’s method, co-operation, working-together, sharing, becoming friends etc, is taken care of in the actual doing of the #3 body and #0 + #1 bodies working-together! This kind/type of working-together is also brought to the attention of the #3 body and in, many-ways! PLACATES IT? MAKES IT, MORE AMENABLE TO LEARNING, SHARING AND CO-OPERATING!? If you have read the letter of Augustus of Hippo, message #715, in the Ophiel group list, then you will/shall understand that when he (Augustus of Hippo) says/writes; Become a Friend to thine Opposer, Adversary; that he is talking/describing, about #3 Ego/Personality you, becoming a friend to #1 Malkuth Earth/Hades you!? Well, your Chair Exercise introduces you to this possibility!?! Ophiel then writes:

“To use this Little System, you do this -- You can do the work in the mornings when half awake, or you can do the work anytime that you can find the time to relax and go into a reverie half-awake and half-asleep. In your image making part of your mind, consciousness, you recall the route and the stations in it. You get up from where you are and go-walk-move along your route to the first station. You pause there and recall the object there to mind. Recall every detail in exact detail. Remain there as long as you want to or feel it is necessary. Then move onto the next station and repeat the process. In time you should become very proficient in travelling this route and making good recalls.” End quote.

Ophiel’s reverie, half-awake and half-asleep, is his, Neither-State, that he writes about in his book, The Art & Practice of Astral Projection, in his chapter, The Dream Method.
This, Neither-State, is reached very quickly, in both the, Chair Exercise and Cosmic Egg Exercise, as your #3 Body, is intensely-involved!?! (And thus, placated/domiciled.) Each fixed-point/station is the Elemental Principle, of the Elemental Force, of the Element of Earth, in/on the Etheric Plane of Water!?! #2 Body; Ophiel then continues;

“This Little System is a type of Etheric Projection and is quite capable of training you for the other systems of projections. This system is capable of several other kinds of expansions, which you will learn yourself as soon as you get a good grasp of these ideas. I was told, by a student that he took off in the middle of the route, and went out somewhere else, on the Etheric Plane.

You can rest assured, that, while travelling the route you ARE ON THE ETHERIC PLANE AND YOU ARE LEARNING TO PROJECT AND GETTING THE FEEL OF IT” End quote. (Capitols are O’s.)

You, in the above quote, is #3 body!? The ego/personality body, is the dominant body!? because of its now present location!? = the/your, Outer, Outer Physically Physical Earth Plane! but, if this #3 body, wishes/wants to, know = gnosis = personal experience, it must turn back!? repent!? about face!? go inwards!? where it is not [yet,] the dominant body!? the dominance of the #3, is, co-opted, through co-operation!? through working-with!? by/with observation!? (observation, is a fixed-point, and thus, an, Element Earth Principle! in/on, all planes! so therefore, you (#3,) are already working-in-harmony with, the #1, body, Malkuth Earth/Hades!?  simply by/with observing. [cool, eh])

If #1, Body, accepts the Visualisation of #2, Body, IT WILL/SHALL BIND ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER OF THE VISUALISATION!? WHEN/IF #3, AS THE TYRANT KING, BINDS IN THE WRONG DIRECTION!? THEN DISASTER OR NOTHING HAPPENS!? #2 and #1 are NEUTRALISED!?! (The Tyrant King is BECOME, Sisyphus, who thinks that they can do it, without assistance from the Gods/Forces/Other Bodies!?!) When/if #3, Body, makes it onto/into the, #1, Malkuth Earth Plane, #3 Becomes Morpheus!? [Shaper/Maker of the Dreams = Etheric Visualisations of, #2, Body, in/on the, #1, Malkuth Earth Plane!] Ophiel then writes:

“I am going to give you one more ordinary method of projection. This projection method is called the Dream Method. The dream method and the Little System, is all you will need to start your projection work. There are other methods, which you will find in my book, The Art and Practice of Astral Projection, which you should get and study, when you are more ready for it. The Dream Method consists of learning to, half wake-up, during the dream, and recall that you are Dreaming. You then take over the dream and go around in the Dream freely exploring the Plane you are on. The vital point of the projection is to prime your-self to learn to half-wake-up in a Dream, this is done by Desire. The Desire to half-wake-up in a Dream: In a period of time, you begin to do that automatically. Even if this sounds difficult, it is fairly easy: There is a book written by Oliver Fox called Astral Projection. This book was out of print for many years, but is now, back in print, in a paper back. Mr Fox gives some details.” End quote.

The Neither-State, of half-awake, is easily achieved in the/your, Chair Exercise and Cosmic Egg Exercise, with your half-closed-eyes if you can, and if not then by all means, close them all the way. What is important, is that, as you do/practice these two exercises, YOU ARE GOING FROM WIDE AWAKE #3, TO THE OBSERVING #3, WITHOUT A LOSS/BREAK IN, #3, CONSCIOUS-NESS!? And when you do Ophiel’s Little System and/or Dream Method, you (#3,) are already familiar, with what is required/needed!?

Wishing you all well, and every success, as ever,

sender.

PS: Ophiel’s, Neither-State, is also achieved, with the various yoga postures wherein the outer, outer physically physical body is immobilised, like sleep!! but the #3 Ego Body remains/stays awake, alert, conscious and then, whatever system is being, used gets the credit/accolades etc, etc. Many think it is because of the ‘static-posture?’ of the yoga method, whereas, you, now know? it is because, you – Conscious, as a ‘ness,’ have ‘entered in?’ at the ‘low door!?’
