Tujikumbushe astral travel

Let us say that Mr. Smith wants a job and he is going to an interview tomorrow, or the day after, or the day after that with Mr. Brown. So Mr. Smith churns out a Mantra. He mumbles, mumbles, mumbles while he is thinking about getting this nonsense over so he can go to the pictures or go and get a drink or go and find a girl friend, or something like that. He tries to get it over and done with, and having said it three times he is convinced he has done everything necessary and the Powers That Be are responsible for everything else after. Then Mr. Smith rushes out, goes to the pictures, perhaps goes to a bar and gets a swig or two of beer, and picks up a girl, and when he goes for his interview with Mr. Brown— well, he doesn't make a hit. Of course he doesn't, he hasn't prepared for it, he hasn't done his homework. What he should do is this:—

Mr. Smith wants a job so he has applied for a job having assured himself that he has the necessary quali- fications and abilities with which to carry out the tasks imposed by that job if he gets it. He has heard from a Mr. Brown saying that Mr. Brown will grant him an interview at such-and-such a time on such-and-such a day.

A sensible Mr. Smith tries to find out something about Mr. Brown if he can. What's the man like? What does he look like? What is his position in the firm? Is he a friendly type? Well, you can usually find out those things by phoning the telephone girl of the firm concerned and asking her. A lot of these girls are very flattered indeed. So if Mr. Smith says he is trying to get a job with the firm and he is going to be given an interview on such- and- such a day and will the girl tell him something about Mr. Brown, the interviewer after all,he can say,I shall soon be working with you so let's make a friendship now, tell me what you can

The girl invariably responds favour- ably if she is approached in the right way, she is flattered that someone has appealed to her for help, she is flattered that someone thinks she is such a good judge of char- cater, she is flattered to think that a possibly new mem- ber to the firm had sense enough to get in touch with her. So she gives the information. Perhaps she can tell Mr. Smith that a picture of Mr. Brown appeared in The Dog- washers Monthly Magazine, or something, when he took up his new appointment with the firm. So Mr. Smith goes along to the local Library and takes a good hard look at a picture of Mr. Brown. He looks at the picture and looks at it, and fixes it in his mind. Then off he goes home keeping Mr. Brown's face in his mind. There he sits down and imagines that Mr. Brown is in front of him unable to talk, the poor fellow just has to sit and listen. So Mr. Smith unloads a talk about himself, about his own abil- ities. He says what he has to say convincingly, and if he is alone he can say it in a low voice. If he is not alone he'd better just think it to himself otherwise some other person in the house might take Mr. Smith off to the place where “people like that” are taken, because not everyone under- stands visualization Mantras, etc.

If this is done right, then when Mr. Smith goes to see Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown has a distinct impression that he has seen Mr. Smith before under very favourable terms, and do you know why? I'll tell you.

If it is done properly Mr. Smith will have “made his mark in the ether”, and his sub-conscious will, during the time of astral travel, meet and discuss things with Mr. Brown's subconscious. Oh good gracious me; it really does work,I 've tried it time after time,I know hundreds- thousands-of people who have tried it too,and it does work IF YOU DO YOUR JOB PROPERLY..

But if a lazy Mr. Smith just thinks of girl chasing,film watching and beer drinking then his mind is on those those things- girl chasing, film watching and beer drinking- and he doesn't get a response from Mr. Brown's subconscious.

Here is another question which may be of some interest. It is, “When you say patience is needed to achieve astral travel do you mean, weeks, months, or years? Or does the period vary widely according to the person concerned, the amount of time they have been practicing, and the individual latent ability?

Actually astral travel is done by all of us. Most people are unconscious of it, and when they have an experience which they dimly remember in the morning they put it down as a dream or imagination.

Astral travelling, or rather, learning to astral travel, is much the same as learning to ride a bicycle. Really it sounds quite impossible that anyone should ever learn to ride on two wheels, and as for those unicycle things——! Well, people can learn to ride a bicycle or a unicycle. People can learn to walk a tightrope, and there is no set time for how long it will take one to become proficient. It is only a knack. If you believe you can ride a cycle, then you can ride a cycle. If you believe you can walk a tightrope or a slack rope either, then you can do so. It is the same with astral travel. It is not possible to set out a list of exercises on how you start to astral travel. How would you tell a person the manner in which he should learn to ride a bicycle? How would you tell a person how he would learn to use roller skates? Besides the obvious one of tying a cushion to his posterior, that is. And again, how would you teach a person how to breathe so that he could live? Breathing is a natural thing, we just do it. We are not always conscious of doing it, are we? We are only conscious of breathing when there is some difficulty. We are not conscious of astral travelling, either,most of us,but it is just as easy as breathing, just as easy as riding a bicycle.

The main thing is that you should decide that you are going to astral travel consciously. The emphasis is on the word ‘consciously’. Unfortunately the word ‘imagination’ has a bad name. People think that to imagine a thing is to pretend something which does not exist. Perhaps we should say ‘visualise’ instead. So to start astral travel you should go to bed—alone, of course, and in a room alone also. You should rest in any position whatever so long as it is comfortable. If you could stand on your head that would be quite all right if you found it comfortable. But if you want to lie on your back, on your side, on your front, so long as it is comfortable, that is all you need do. If you find it comfortable then it is all you need.

So—lying down comfortably, make sure that your breathing is complete, that is, slow, and deep, and even, naturally, comfortably, not forced. Lie like that for a few moments, collecting your thoughts. Then with the light out visualise yourself as a body within a body, visualise you are in a body withdrawing from your outer body in much the same way as you would withdraw your hand from the glove which encompassed it.
