The Projection of the Astral Body Sylvan J THE PROJECTION OF THE ASTRAL BODY SYLVAN J . MULDOON THE PROJECTION OF THE ASTRAL BODY By SYLVAN J. MULDOON AND HEREWARD CARRINGTON AUTHOR OF "YOUR PSYCHIC POWERS : AND HOW TO DEVELOP THEM" as HIGHER PSYCHICAL DEVELOPMENT ;" "MODERN PSYCHICAL PHENOMENA," RTC . " In my opinion, it is this .. notion of a subtle body, which for so many centuries has played the dominant r8le in the traditional psychology of both the East and the West, that is most deserving of being retried, reviewed and revised ; to serve as a working hypothesis to co-ordinate and explain a very large number of these puzzling psychical phenomena ." G . R . S . MEAD, in The Subtle Body . "These self-projections represent the most extraordinary achievements of the human will, and, are perhaps acts which a man might perform equally well before and after death ." F. W . H . MYERS, in Human Personality . t LONDON : RIDER 3 CO . PATERNOSTER HOUSE, E;C . 1929 First Published .. February, 1929 Reprinted August, 1929 Printed in Great Britain at The Mayflower Press, Plymouth . William Brandon & Son, Ltd . 01 PREFACE HEN my first out-of-the-body experiences occurred I was but twelve-so young and immature in mind that I did not realize their magnitude . The occurrences came about involuntarily and repeated themselves fre- Wquently, until I became so accustomed to them that, as a matter of fact, I soon regarded them as nothing extraordinary and seldom mentioned them even to members of my own family, to say nothing of keeping a record of them, although I had been urged to do so by many interested persons . I had been told, by persons professing to know, that conscious projection of the astral body was nothing unusual, and that many psychics could produce it at will . I, too, wanted to be able to produce it at will, and I admit that I was envious of those who (I had heard) could do so . So I began a search for some one who could produce the phenomenon voluntarily . But my search proved fruitless, and eventually I concluded that I could not find that " some one ." Thus I began to experiment with the phenomenon myself, and in this book you will find the results of my experiments . Although we are living in the twentieth century we still have with us the intolerance of the Middle Ages, and I am not optimistic enough to believe that a great many will read without prejudice what I have to say . I have written this work with the idea of giving the results of my findings to other students of the occult . Unfor- tunately many occultists are of the belief that what is claimed to be conscious astral projection is nothing more nor less than a dream . I am well aware of the fact that one must first experignce conscious astral projection before he can believe in it, and I confess that I should not accept it as true myself, perhaps, had I not experienced it and know it to be true . The sceptic says, " I want the-proof, the objective proof, then I will believe it ! " And the projector replies, " You cannot have objective proof . You must experience it, then you will have the proof ." The argu- ment that the projector cannot prove to the sceptic that it is not a dream is of no avail ; for neither can the sceptic prove to the pro- jector that it is a dream . Thus argument is useless-as useless as arguing the matter of a first cause or a last effect ! I stand on a clear-cut issue . I say experience it . " The proof of the pudding is in the eating ! " I have not tried to conceal anything V vi PREFACE nor resorted to pseudo-arguments about the " dangers " involved, which is a common characteristic of most writers on this subject . I have given the specific methods for bringing about the projection of the astral body, as I know them, and I am willing to have the truth of my statements judged squarely by the results' obtained through the practice of these methods . You want proof, and I say you can have itbut you must experience it. You want to know how you can experience it, and I tell you how to go about it . I can do no more . In this volume I have related many of my experiences ; however, the experiences I have given do not in any way represent all which I have had ; a book this size could scarcely hold the accounts of all of them . I could never .have gleaned the information which is con- tained herein by the few experiences which I have quoted . The average human being is not interested in the experiences of others-he is interested in his own experiences ; and I have pre- supposed, in writing this book, that the reader wishes to know just how the phenomenon is produced, and not merely to read experiences . Although, as I have stated, I am not optimistic enough to believe that many will read what I have to say without prejudice, I am optimistic enough to believe that no one can give the methods which I have outlined a conscientious and thorough trial, and not obtain results . Do not try to judge the book by reason alone . Judge it by experi- ment. I want no one to accept my word for what I have written . I say-experience it ! Follow the formula: and judge the merits of my statements afterwards . That is the time to judge--afterwards ; not in advance ! I have been accused of being " superstitious," because of my belief in phantoms of the living and phantoms of the dead . Usually I find that my accusers are themselves superstitious on other subjects ! Recently a churchgoer told me that he did not understand how I, or any other person, could believe that he had a " ghost " inside him . Yet this same critic professed to believe the Bible from cover to cover-even that " Christ gave up the ghost " at death ! On the other hand the Materialist believes that it is superstition if anyone believes that the mind can exist apart from the brain . His theory is that the brain " oozes " thoughts, just as the liver oozes bile . And the Materialist (who cannot prove that the brain oozes thoughts) forgets that he cannot prove his argument-and demands proof of the spiritist ! If you press the Materialist for proof, he will tell you that by experiment (by experiment, remember) it becomes evident that the brain produces thought . And that is about the very thing the spiritist will tell you, viz ., by experiment it is evident that the brain does not produce thought ! Both Materialist and Spiritist must throw away " reason " and resort to experi- ment. PREFACE vii And that is all I ask the reader to do, to convince himself of the merits of what I have written : throw away reason and try experi- ment . It is my hope that all who are successful, even those who produce minor results (by following the methods contained herein), will make those results known to me : for I wish to collect the evidence I I take -this opportunity to express my thanks to Mr . Carrington for his valuable co-operation and assistance ; and to my fiancee, Miss Goodrich, for her help in typing the manuscript . S . M.

Confounding as it does commonsense notions of time and causality, it is perhaps the most metaphysically offensive of rogue phenomena. In the past 130 years, a number of thoughtful investigators—none of them either naïve or foolish—have studied a growing collection incidents, all carefully vetted (excepting Rhine’s popularly solicited cases [below]). With the exception of the first author, Eleanor Sidgwick, who drew on a scant six years of evidence and found it tantalizing but insufficient, these investigators have repeatedly come to the generally reluctant conclusion that true precognition (or something identical to it with a different name) exists.

  • Experiments with Time Modernity Is Fascinated by Time. the Modern
    Experiments with Time Modernity is fascinated by time. The modern world has gone through profound alterations in thinking about time. Charles Lyell’s formulation of geological ‘deep time’ in the 1830s laid the foundations for modern geology and palaeontology, and therefore for thinking about the archaic status of the Earth and its life. Without Deep Time, the temporal framework which Darwinian evolution required would have been inconceivable. In the 1840s, the imposition of a standardized national (and international) ‘Railway Time’ became necessary in order for trains to run on time: without a standard and comprehensible railway transport system, the global reach of the British Empire would have been significantly foreshortened. The postulation of a ‘fourth dimension’ in the 1880s directly informed Einstein’s theories of space-time. The discovery by Edwin Hubble in 1929 of galactic red shift, led to the big bang theory of the origin of the universe, and to speculations as to whether its expansion would increase indefinitely and thus lead, in accordance with the Second Law of Thermodynamics, to the inevitable heat death of the universe, black, frozen and remote; or, whether gravity would eventually overwhelm all other forces, making the universe contract back in on itself culminating in a satisfyingly apocalyptic ‘big crunch’. Philosophically and culturally, the work of Nordau and Spengler on forms of degeneration and decline, and Bergson on time- flux, and of McTaggart and Broad on the metaphysics of time are very significant. It is therefore understandable, perhaps, that in Time and Western Man (1927), Wyndham Lewis was to criticize what he saw as the Western intelligentsia’s misguided obsession with temporality.

After a period of confusion she stated that she was one Shiva who had been murdered in another village. She gave enough details to permit verification of her statements, which corresponded to facts in the life of another young married woman called Shiva. Shiva had lived in a place about 100 km away, and she had died violently there-either by suicide or murder-about two months before Sumitra's apparent death and revival. Subsequently, Sumitra recognized 23 persons (in person or in photographs) known to Shiva. She also showed in several respects new behavior that accorded with Shiva's personality and attainments. For example, Shiva's family were Brahmins (high caste), whereas Sumitra's were Thakurs (second caste); after the change in her personality Sumitra showed Brahmin habits that were strange in her fam- ily. Extensive interviews with 53 informants satisfied the investigators that the families concerned had been, as they claimed, completely unknown to each other before the case developed and that Sumitra had had no normal knowledge of the people and events in Shiva's life.

  • Historical Perspective
    Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 34, No. 4, pp. 717–754, 2020 0892-3310/20 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Early Psychical Research Reference Works: Remarks on Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science Carlos S. Alvarado [email protected] Submitted March 11, 2020; Accepted July 5, 2020; Published December 15, 2020 DOI: 10.31275/20201785 Creative Commons License CC-BY-NC Abstract—Some early reference works about psychic phenomena have included bibliographies, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and general over- view books. A particularly useful one, and the focus of the present article, is Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science (Fodor, n.d., circa 1933 or 1934). The encyclopedia has more than 900 alphabetically arranged entries. These cover such phenomena as apparitions, auras, automatic writing, clairvoyance, hauntings, materialization, poltergeists, premoni- tions, psychometry, and telepathy, but also mediums and psychics, re- searchers and writers, magazines and journals, organizations, theoretical ideas, and other topics. In addition to the content of this work, and some information about its author, it is argued that the Encyclopaedia is a good reference work for the study of developments from before 1933, even though it has some omissions and bibliographical problems. Keywords: Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science; Nandor Fodor; psychical re- search reference works; history of psychical research INTRODUCTION The work discussed in this article, Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science (Fodor, n.d., circa 1933 or 1934), is a unique compilation of information about psychical research and related topics up to around 1933. Widely used by writers interested in overviews of the literature, Fodor’s work is part of a reference literature developed over the years to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge about the early publications of the field by students of psychic phenomena.

  • Synchronicity the Anonymous Test of Existence
    Synchronicity The Anonymous Test of Existence Kim Sawyer September 3, 2013 The only way to learn is to question. Jean-Paul Sartre ___________________________________________________________________________ I do not have a closed mind. I admit every possibility. Indeed, the only thing I am certain of is uncertainty. And my only presupposition is to question. My only contingent claim is my experience, not the experience of others. That is why I have converged to who I am, to an existence that only I know. And it is an existence conditioned by synchronicity. In his defining lecture Existentialism is a Humanism, Sartre wrote that “man is nothing other than his own project. In life, a man commits himself and draws his own portrait, outside of which there is nothing.” But what if the portrait has already been sketched, and that man is simply joining the dots. That is the possibility synchronicity evokes, if only in the eyes of the portraitist. Synchronicity was defined by Jung to mean the simultaneous occurrence of two meaningful but not causally connected events.1 Synchronicity was regarded by Jung as a bridge between external reality and a collective unconscious. It is a bridge most of us observe, but nearly all of us discount. Jung had documented and observed synchronicity for many years, in patients’ recollections and in his own recollections. 1 C. Jung Synchronicity , p.25. Jung was reticent about synchronicity; unquestionably he feared the ridicule of minds committed to the rational and the real. Synchronicity is not easy to rationalize; usually it is diversified away as a random joint occurrence, an artifact of probability, an event without meaning.

  • Appendix: the Use of Symbolic Notation in Descriptive Logic
    Appendix: The Use of Symbolic Notation in Descriptive Logic One well-known introductory textbook on normative logic happens to use, as an example, certain propositions from Patristic theology,1 with the implication that Christians would do well to accept the correct- ness of the comparatively little remembered Patripassian heresy. In this case, the point can be adequately stated using the ordinary notation employed in normative predicate logic:2 PATRIPASSIANISM Px. x is God. Qx. x suffered and died on the Cross. a. the Father. b. the Son. 1. ∃∀xyPy() ↔ x = y 2. Pa 3. Pb ∴= 4. ab 5. Qb ∴ 6. Qa In fact, however, Christians in all periods have usually found the idea of the Father’s having suffered and died to be a repugnant one; and the Church of the fourth century was disturbed much less by Patripassianism than by another doctrine, one that can be stated using the same vocabulary: ARIANISM 1. ∃∀xyPy() ↔ x = y 1 Hodges, Logic, pp. 138, 262. 2 Since normative logicians have not achieved a complete standardization of the notation they use, it is probably worth specifying how I intend the symbols employed in the example sequences to be read. They are as follows: ∃x : ‘There exists some x such that ... ’; ∀x : ‘For all x ... ’; PQ↔ : ‘P if and only if Q’ (i.e., P and Q are either both true or both false); xy= : ‘x equals y’; ∴: ‘therefore’; ¬P : ‘not P’ (i.e., P is false); xy≠ : ‘x does not equal y’; PQ∧ : ‘P and Q’. 155 156 Appendix 2.
