. Return along the path through the imagined landscape.

0. Perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram.
Once you have successfully projected do not immediately attempt to 'run' around, but carefully move
about your room getting used to your new body. You will find that leg motion is not required but that
merely willing yourself from one place to another is sufficient. Remain 'earthbound' for the first few
experiences, gradually getting used to resisting the temptation to indulge yourself in the new
sensations of weightlessness and timelessness.
Explore the adjoining rooms, something you can do by merely passing through doorways and try to
remember some feature which you might not normally know about, which can be checked on later, as
an objective test that your consciousness did actually leave the room, Note these details down in your
Magical Diary along with your impressions of the appearance of physical objects, their degree of
apparent reality and colouring.
At a later date attempt to record other sense impressions such as healing and feeling as if you were
feeling them in the physical body. This way you will rapidly become accustomed to your astral body
and will be able to project it with much greater ease. Simultaneously it will get stronger and will be
able to remain projected for greater periods of time.
When trying to ascertain if you are seeing truly on the astral it is useful to imagine that the contrary of
what appears to be there. For example if you 'visit' a friend in the astral body and you see him reading,
imagine that he is ironing instead. If the figure immediately changes to conform with your imagination
you are probably only viewing your own astral creations, but if it does not alter then you can be fairly
sure you are actually there.
The whole secret of astral projection is persistence initially till you succeed, then practise to perfect
the ability and eliminate any possibility of error.
Etheric projection is an extension of astral projection and involves transmitting more of the etheric
matter to the astral form so that it can, to a certain degree, experience the physical surroundings. The
price to be paid for this is that the physical body is reduced to a cataleptic state; indistinguishable from
death in extreme cases.
Consequently, when preparing to project the etheric body certain precautions have to be taken. The
most important precaution is making sure that the physical body is protected from any form of
disturbance.
It is therefore important to eliminate the possibility of visitors, telephone calls, or even too much
noise. The body must also be protected from getting cold during the projection. Any sudden stimulus
can have serious consequences, as the etheric material is drawn back into the body too suddenly. If the
