Practical guide to messing up your life if you're not lucky,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Llewellyn practical guide to astral projection
After hearing that astral projection was possible, I acquired a copy of this book and set about trying to practice the techniques described in it. I read the book through first, tried the exercises, and did everything it claimed I was supposed to do. After "opening" a certain "chakra" as the book describes, I felt a jab there, and then a feeling like something was lodged there, as well as an inexplicable and uncharacteristic feeling that I was a terrible person. I tried the "closing" exercise and could not perform it. It seemed, in retrospect, that something the book would probably refer to as "lower astral" had glommed onto me before I had a chance to start the other exercises. Despite the preliminary "protection" rituals. Not knowing what was happening, I thought it was a psychological problem and treated it as such for years, with no effect. In reality, this book had taught me to open and abandon defenses that are there for a reason, and only when I understood that could I counteract the damage.The book had no useful advice on how to deal with this situation. But I have since learned that this kind of thing is common when people play around with the occult without very good knowledge -- beyond what a how-to book with reassurances that a positive attitude fixes everything can give you. In fact, many people experienced in these areas will warn people off of trying "astral projection" altogether. No such warnings exist in the book, and it's a problem that became very well-entrenched before I could figure out what was going on. By the time I knew enough to fight it in an effective way, things were bad enough that the problem has not dislodged completely or easily. Books that teach techniques like this should offer warnings rather than pretty stories and blithe reassurances along the line that if you're a good person everything will work out. Things have mostly worked out for me in the end, but only after years of unnecessary agony that began with this experimentation. Guides to skydiving should provide instructions and warnings about parachute failure, without a happy-go-lucky "it rarely happens" attitude. Guides to occult practices should do the same. Not everyone knows these things, and this is a heavy price to pay for naivete or gullibility. This book is highly irresponsible.
