Theseareallnaturalimportantquestionsandtheyshouldbeansweredbeforeyoustarttodo
theactualwork.SoIwillanswertheminorder.

Thefirstquestion:-WhydontotherwritersgiveexactdirectionsastothepracticeofAstral
projectionsthesameasyoudo?

TheanswertothisquestionisOurSolarsystem,inmakingitsroundsaboutthebeltofthe
Zodiac,hasenteredtheHouseofAquarius.ThismeansthattheoldageofPisceshaspassed
away.TheAquarianforcesarebetterthanthePisceanforceswhich,amongotherthings,
stoodforprisons,andtheworldhascertainlybeeninprisonforthepast2000years.Thatage
isnowpastandthepeoplearerespondingtothisnewageruledbyUranuswhoisahigher

spontaneously.Manypeoplearehavingpsychicexperiencesandmanyotherpeopleare
projectingnaturally:anddonotknowthereasonforit,orwhatitmeans,andarelookingfor
explanations.ThuspeoplearereadyforOccultstudyandtraining.

whichthewritertellshowhisMASTERshowedhimhowtoworkAstralprojectionetc.

Thereforewhenapersonacquiredthisknowledge,andotheroccultknowledge,froma

AsIsaidbeforeyouhavealwayslivedinandusedtheseotherbodiesallyourlife.Actually
