Beyond the Astral Planes

By Solitaire Parke

"Beyond the Astral Planes" is the first volume
of the trilogy entitled - "THE LARGER WORLD."
As such, it is the initial look at the subject matter concerning the phenomenon known as
- "Out of Body."

The compelling issues delineated within its
pages are further expounded upon by showing
the associations between the scientific and the practical aspects of both Astral traveling and the evidence of life after death.

Although it is considered the beginner volume, it will be valuable to the seasoned veteran as well.

PREFACE

The concepts purveyed within these pages do not promote the ideas of any isms, whether they be paganism’s, pantheism’s or any other, regardless of their supposed good intentions.  The Astral Planes, Dreams, and the Alternate States of Reality are natural phenomenon’s which should be approached with that thought in mind.  Any other view is simply placing incorrect dogmas and opinions where the facts should stand alone.

Many years have elapsed since I began the research that ultimately became this book.  I am a skeptic and as such, do not believe in magic.  The number of isms that are available in the world today is shocking and overwhelmingly diverse.  Any or all of these if taken to extremes can and will obscure what is taking place mechanically.  Real progress is then slowed and sometimes stopped.

This book does not deal with doctrines that prescribe to afterlife but rather explores an entirely new living world as a result of an eventual death; an example of life taken to the next logical step.  This extrication of the Spirit and Soul is a natural event that takes place on a regular basis whether or not you believe as an agnostic, Atheist, Christian or Jew; nor does it matter if you are black, white, red, yellow, green or purple.  The only prerequisite is that you are HUMAN.  No bias is shown for any reason or ethnic background other than this one ingredient.  The energies portrayed as electromagnetics and kinetics, among others, are explored as viable methods for further control of a little known property found within man.  By harnessing this property it is possible to exhibit talents once thought buried.  By altering brain waves and promoting adrenalin, not to mention following the instructions found herein, everyone can expand their present talents and abilities.

Exercising your mental muscles and learning to think in terms of singularity of purpose will, like any other endeavor, strengthen your level of output.  The amount that you sink into the system will be approximately that which you gain but there are no mysticisms or cultish rituals involved; only a considerable amount of work.  There is no hocus-pocus, no witchcraft and no magic found inside; no demons will be called.  What you accomplish will be only that which you sweat and strive for and achieve through basic laws of cause and effect.

I place no hidden meanings or subliminals in this text and there are no intentional religious views taken in the explanations found in any chapter or section.  My only intent is the exploration of energy, pure and simple.

Your Talents Run Deeper Than You Think!!!!

NOTE TO THE READER

Over a period of time, and there is no way to know how long that time will be, all the activities in this book can and should become realities for you.  My mentor used to tell me that when you encountered resistance it should be met with persistence.  Try not to let your zeal for the quest of knowledge gain too lofty an altitude as those stratospheric heights are difficult to maintain for long periods of time.  It is better to develop an even keel and present your excitement with philosophical detachment.  To better facilitate your success this book has been set up in as much a chronological way as possible.  Very little has been presented more than once throughout the text and to help in the memorization a glossary has been provided to minimize the time looking for particular passages.

To efficiently utilize this text it is suggested to approach it as a cross referencing guide-book.  In as many cases as possible notes have been inserted to refer you to the correct section in the appropriate chapter.  By referencing back and forth throughout the work a clear and concise picture will emerge that illustrates the enormity of the project you are considering.  Much of the bulk in each technique has been condensed for the sake of economy although nothing that could be construed as instructions was omitted.  Also, I have tried to be unbiased by not including anything that was previously untried and untested by either myself or those of the Unconventional Community.  All items that were found to be oriented around opinion were summarily excluded as well.  All else was thoroughly tested and performed until the instructions were proven to be factual and as precise as humanly possible.  Each section can be correlated with every other section and chapter because of common roots in the Astral Planes and Alternate States of Reality.

The level of difficulty in the beginning will seem enormously greater than after your first real success with the Astral or Dreams.  Since they have unified origin, so to speak, it is very much like pulling the first pickle out of the jar.  The first is always more difficult but the remainder seem to fall out.  Following the order within the chapter should help you to progress potentially faster; however, it is not mandatory nor always true in every individual.  I have given, in as many instances as was feasible, the methods that were proven to work more quickly than others; however, most of the techniques have also been known to function with alternative and varying nuances that were added by the pupil of the time.  Unless described as dangerous I would suggest experimenting with each procedure until your own individualism has made its mark.  Your learning will be both faster and consistent.  Beyond this follow the rules and be careful!  Let me reiterate, if there is a possibility of encounter or danger DO NOT deviate from the rules.  Possession, injury or death can be the result from a rule not followed or a step left out.

INTRODUCTION

In the year 1970, I chanced to meet a man named Pilot while on survival in the deserts of Arizona.  He professed to be a Priest and a man of great power.  During the time spent there he convinced me of several things.

1.He was literate.

2.His abilities were based on cause and effect.

3.His viewpoint of power was not religiously oriented.

4.He was not Catholic.

5.All people had this power latently.

6.His abilities could be learned and explained.

He seemed determined to instruct me in these Doctrines although at first I was unwilling.  Throughout the time I spent in Arizona he never once mentioned occultism, and when asked, seemed ignorant of that as an explanation to his abilities.  Originally I was to stay for two weeks, then return to Dallas, Texas where I lived.  Somewhere in the second week my plans changed, and consequently so has my life.  For the next five years I spent as much time as I could going back and forth to Arizona, being unable to live there due to personal reasons (in-laws, enough said huh?)  My stays with Pilot amounted to three facets; He talked - I listened and I took notes.  I have never seen a person with so much to say and apparently so little time to say it.  My notes quickly became volumes of information on almost everything the imagination could conjure.

Between visits I would categorize, correlate and practice his techniques, although at first I have to admit most of them sounded impossible.  After having success with a beginning procedure however, my interest became peaked when it caused an out of body experience.  Many of the other techniques suddenly looked a great deal more intriguing.  To this day I don't know why I took those notes because I had no intention of writing a book or trying to further his teachings.  Twenty-twenty hindsight tells me he probably knew.  One success led to another and, over time, the barriers that prohibited me from real understanding, like Pilot's, have been dismantled.  Without my realizing it a relationship formed with this man and I'm proud to say he still puts up with me and my disagreeable, argumentative ways.

Beginning with year six, Pilot began showing up in Texas, as disaster struck and I was no longer able to make the trek to Arizona.  Being married and having a child, so says Pilot, is more than enough, at times, to slow the wheels of progress.  My business during this time-frame had become increasingly more demanding and, as a commercial photographer, I was disinclined to turn down work when it was available.

Along with the more obvious lessons Pilot also instructed me in the historical aspects of this esoteric knowledge.  As it turns out he is one of several thousand, all of which perform at this level of expertise.  These people have been silently educating others for generations and passing the knowledge from father to son and mother to daughter.  Pilot tells me that Priests are unable to get married and I will have to be the son that he never had.  It seems to me that Pilot could have chosen someone that, at the very least, lived in the same state.  When I posed this question to him, he smiled rather enigmatically and said, The Lord works in mysterious ways.

His community, by my definition, lives in the shadows; quiet and passive, waiting for a time when this learning can safely be given to everyone.  I believe that time is now.  This community consists of sub-communities called Clans and are spread somewhat evenly throughout the entire world.  If Society had the brotherhood these people have established I honestly believe this planet would be a better place.  This text is my small contribution toward that end.

In 1987 I finally managed to move to Arizona where I reside to this day.  I have to admit there is something strange and wonderful about this place and having lived here for several years I can't imagine living anywhere else.  My in-law problem solved itself; they moved away.  It's funny how things work out, isn't it?  As you will see, moving around or traveling large distances is not as difficult as it might seem but, by the time I had learned those techniques, it was no longer necessary to journey to Arizona having already moved here.  Instead, I used the abilities to seek out parts of Pilot's community for their perspectives and viewpoints.  Each of these Clans have taken a uniquely individual approach to the same information and evolved to remarkably different ends.  These eccentricities have been chronicled in the chapter on Clans within this text.  I have tried to present all of the information without bias and let others draw conclusions where they may.  I have learned over the years that there is no substitute for self-discovered proof and, when all is said and done, it is the only proof that is valid.

All of the techniques and procedures in this text are in some way connected with either the Astral Planes or the Alternate States of Reality and present known methods for entering the Larger World.  Along with these practices are others that utilize the same knowledge but for more practical purposes and accomplishments.  Each has been carefully broken down to feet, inches, smell, feelings and any other pertinent data that might help you gain an understanding of the information presented.  For unusual terms check the Glossary.

CHAPTER  ONE

SPOTS OF SERENITY

_______________

All aspects of the Human Condition are important, none really more important than any other, but the idea of well being is mandatory to mental health and success.  One can deal without many things, some rather handily, however well being is just not one of them.  To succeed with these endeavors even the minutest aspect cannot be overlooked.  The Spots of Serenity give you an edge on well being that you never had before by allowing you to find areas that cause you to feel more at ease and able to function with higher efficiency.

Eventually you should be able to determine these areas as soon as you come into contact with them and consequently take advantage of them according to the formulas set in this chapter.  What apparently looks time consuming becomes almost second nature with the correct amount of practice.  Through logic you may even determine the reasons for being more comfortable in one spot as opposed to another.  Due to the importance of this procedure I have listed all the methods that were found to date to make success with it come more quickly in case one or more proved to be inefficient.

The process is a relatively easy one.  Go to the room of your choice (any and all rooms will work), usually the room that makes you feel the most comfortable is the best place to start.  It is wise to select an area that is secluded for you will undoubtedly learn faster.  Make sure that you have plenty of time before you get started.  Then, after having chosen your room, proceed to black it out completely or wait until evening when this will happen for you.  Once done, walk over to the corner that affords the best view of the rest of the room.  Lie down on your stomach or prop up on your elbows to get as close to the floor as possible for the spots are more easily seen from there.

Every spot can be seen by a color which is directly over the top of the given area.  These colors are not arranged in any known spectrum sequence.  No help will come from locating these spots through any logical placement of color.  Every color known to man has been seen in one room so take it slow and examine them all.  Just peer into the darkness and as your eyes become adjusted color will begin to appear, first one at a time and then in multiples.  The colors are generated from the third eye and have always been there, but take special procedures to make them become visible.

SPOTS OF SERENITY

COLOR CHART

The colors have been arranged in sequence to show each shade and its effect on you as well as their repetitiveness in appearance.  Each color that was listed as common will appear many times in every room that you scrutinize, while the remaining three should be seldom seen.  Purple is the exception, which is seen only once.

The color placement in any given room will be erratic at best.  Lighter colors will be next to darker ones, showing little or no concern for expected logical sequencing.  It is best to scan all the potential spots before ending the process.

While lying down mentally reiterate the dimensions of the room by marking it off in your mind into two feet sections.  Then look at each section one at a time, trying to see the different colors.  This does not happen quickly for the most part and if having looked at one long enough to have your attention span waiver, move on to the next section and try it again.  After a time one by one the colors will appear and when they do try not to let your attention wander.  You must concentrate to keep the colors visible.  Once having spotted your first color mentally mark where it was located.  Initially you may have trouble remembering where all the colors are so mark only the lightest and the darkest of the shades.  These colors should be either white or yellow and purple.

Now, having found these two areas, you have succeeded in the first of your endeavors.  Mark your spots again making sure that you have labeled them correctly.  Then sit in the darker of the two and relax while trying to find any significant feelings you might have.  Next, sit in the spot of the lightest color and note the differences between the two.  You should feel anxiety or hints of frustration in the lighter spot while serenity in the darker one.  After having proved this for yourself you may wish to note where the other colors were located by drawing a diagram of your own and comparing or logging the sequences involved.

If by chance you have problems with the first method of finding these spots, there is an alternate procedure, one that has also proven itself to be equally adequate.  The only difference between the two methods is the second process utilized blindness rather than sight.  After the room is darkened close your eyes or use a blindfold to remove all doubt of incoming light.  By using the previous routine you can search out the spots depending exclusively upon the third eye.  (See Chapter Eight - Unconventional Techniques/Second Sight)  The colors with this method
