毫不例外,每个人睡眠时,他都以低能量投射的方式离开自己的身体。我把这称为睡眠投射。就象系在绳上的汽球一样,星体躯体在物质躯体之上几英寸的上空盘旋,它模仿睡眠的位置,并不走远。一旦星体躯体脱体,它就具有创造梦境的自由。这是我们都熟悉的自然(睡眠、做梦)过程。在这期间,你会下沉至全世界共同的梦境意识中。这个“梦界”分为几个层次。根据你是何种类型的人,精神型的、道德完善型的等等,你将注意力调谐至与你关系密切的层次。这些层次通常称作“层”或亚层。这种分类并没什么不对,除非当你在试图把握整个概念时,这个比喻会使你感到迷惑。
If you become aware during sleep projection you can take some control over it as in a lucid dream, and move amongst the levels. If you do take control though, you cannot return to the real world and function as an astral form in it. You are in the topsy-turvy world of the dream pool or astral planes, where everything is possible, but not very plausible.
在睡眠投射期间,如果你能像在清醒的梦中一样感知,你就可以对它进行某种控制,并在各个层中移动。如果你确实能够控制,但你却无法回到现实世界,并且不能以星体躯体在现实世界中活动。你是处于梦界或星体层的颠倒的世界,在那里任何事情都是可能的,但并非似是而非。
When you do a `fully conscious' projection of the astral form you project into the physical world, not any astral world. This has long been misunderstood. What is usually thought of as astral projection today is better called `Lucid Dreaming' which is completely different.
