Imagination as a Tool
Mirrored from Ballabene's OBE and Astral Pages
There are a series of imaginations, which, expressed in a thesophical dogmatic way, are able to bring your subtle body out of alignment with the physical body. These imaginations fit to promote out of body states. In a common way, when performing these imaginations, you expose yourself to the motion feelings, which are the basis of these imaginations, while gliding deeper and deeper into trance or an half sleep state. The principle, which is thought to be explained by the theosophic theory, is, that the subtle and the physical body get out of alignment, when the subtle body is brought to rocking motion or other similar motions by imagination, while the physical body rests still. Once, when the subtle body is loosened, it is easy to get full control over the subtle body and to start an OBE experience.
The imagination of swinging in a boat promotes a swinging of the subtle body, which gets out of alignment with the physical body.
If you get awareness of your subtle body in the IBE state (IBE = in the body experience, it is ment an awareness of the subtle body while still in the physical body), you can take advantage to step out of the body. This may be done directly, if you have done so very often, or in other case, if you have the feeling of beeing drawn back to the physical body by an elastic force, in this case you may sustain the loosening by additional rocking with your subtle body, shown in the picture above.
