This does not mean that legitimate Saints no longer exist. However, the process of sorting them out ofthe growing collection of fakes has become much more complex.There<strong>for</strong>e, here we want to run through some basic principles of Spiritual techniques and give a generalidea of their meanings and uses.MeditationPeople are guaranteed to have at least one Spiritual experience. That experience will happen when theydie. If it is their only Spiritual experience, then their ability to handle it is likely to be limited.The purpose of meditation, when used <strong>for</strong> Spiritual purposes, is to cause the event sequence whichtakes place at the time of death to happen earlier when the person is nowhere near death. The commonphrase is "Dying Daily". The reason to "practice dying" is to solve problems in the practice sessionswhich, if left unsolved, will be likely to result in re-incarnation.Let's take an example from the Tibetan Book of the Dead: A person dies. He sees a bright light. The lightfrightens him. Then he notices a "safe dark cave" and goes into the cave to get away from the brightlight. But, the "safe dark cave" is really the womb of some pregnant creature (hopefully human, possiblynot) and so a new physical lifetime begins.This experience cannot be changed because it occurred at the time of "<strong>for</strong> real death". However,experiences in "practice sessions" are not permanent because the physical body still lives.Consequently, if the person in the above example had learned the truth about the "safe dark cave" in apractice session, then the incarnation could have been avoided.Early meditation experiences are highly individualized and are a function of that person's karmas.Consequently, there is no "handbook" <strong>for</strong> what one will see. At higher levels, there are standardlandmarks, such as the Causal plane landscape, which everyone who passes through will see.The aim of meditation is to go as far as you can into the inner worlds as you can while alive so thatanything that could be a problem later can be safely experienced and solved now in the practice or"simulation" sessions.Third EyeThe Third Eye is not physical. However, when it opens it appears to be an opening in the <strong>for</strong>eheadabove the "ordinary" eyes. There is no "eye" there, however it appears to the experiencer that there isactually an extra "eye" because he can see the usual things with the usual two eyes AND see somethingcompletely different above with the "Third Eye" at the same time. It's really pretty neat.For Spiritual purposes, the use <strong>for</strong> the Third Eye is "look but don't touch". We want to know what existson the various planes but do not want to become involved or "strung out" with what we see going on.For psychic purposes, the Third Eye is used to solve practical problems such as psychic healing. Inlegitimate psychic healing, the healer is "looking" at the patient's Astral body with his Third Eye. Whenhe touches the patient with his physical hands he is really reaching "into them" with his Astral handsfrom his own Astral body which extends slightly beyond the physical body. He works on the patient'sAstral body in this way to solve the problem.Projection MethodsAstral Projection methods involve separating the Astral body from the physical body and using it to go onlittle trips. In Astral Projection the physical body is not animate. It must be somewhere safe and quiet -like in bed. It does not die because of the "silver cord" connection but it also does not move around.Astral Projection can be used to "shop around" the physical and Astral planes but obviously it cannot betaken to higher planes where it is too gross to interface with the finer matter there.Soul or Consciousness Projection methods are different in that the Astral body remains with the physicalbody and the physical body is still animate. In these methods the physical body is apparently beingMystical-ebook from site-T.E.X.T..doc Page 60 of 964 June 2008
