Also, obviously, this is not a "high profit business". Legitimate masters are not interested in such things.They are only interested in the Spiritual welfare of their students.

Perhaps the easiest way to have an initiating experience is to realize that you are likely having initiatingexperiences which are simply going unnoticed. Most people go on Astral trips almost every night but eitherdo not remember or dismiss the event as unimportant. Intense dreams with vivid colors are likely actuallyAstral trips. So, by becoming alert to the events which occur while you are "sleeping", you may well realizethat you are already projecting into the Astral world. Once you realize this, you can begin to practice gainingcontrol over this process. One caution here: The newer prescription sleep aids have been designed to forcethe consciousness so low in the chakra system as to make any out of body type experience impossible. Stayaway from them.

Accidents and certain drugs can cause initiating experiences. Since these events are unpredictable and sincean initiating experience is a non reversible life changing experience, people who cannot accept or cope withthese sudden changes are likely to be handed over to psychiatrists who will brain damage them into mindlesszombies and halt any further Spiritual progress for the duration of the present lifetime.

Although Spiritual people are generally considered crazy in industrialized, materialistic societies, some othersocieties, which we would call primitive and savage, require an initiating experience as a right of passageinto adulthood. Documentaries on these people occasionally show on such TV channels as the NationalGeographic Channel. What is usually not explained is the logic behind the weird rights of passage. Theserights are designed by the elders, to the best of their ability with the limited resources available, to cause aninitiating experience. The rituals, which commonly use potent herbs and poison bites from insects, are meantto cause such extreme conditions that the veil which has closed and so blocked access to the otherdimensions will be torn open. Although it is certainly never intended, some will die during these rituals.They choose to participate because they know that a "normal" lifetime, as a Spiritually dead person, ismeaningless and so the only possible choice is to seek enlightenment even if the process could be fatal.

CAPABILITIES OF THE HUMAN BODY

The human body is the most complex construct available for Souls on Earth to use. All other "bodies", suchas the Astral, also exist in their own space or dimension but remain dormant unless activated by Spiritualpractice. People have remained pretty much the same over time, however their environment has not.Industrialization and obsession with materialism has decreased the probability that one will likelyspontaneously have out of body type experiences because the attention is constantly focused on materialreality.

However, any "special" experience that was possible at any point in the past is still possible today. Thebelief that special abilities attributed to dead Spiritual leaders died with them and are therefore nowimpossible is not valid. If a special ability existed at any point in the past, it is still achievable today with thecorrect practice. The problem lies with the fact that few are interested in devoting their lives to these things(because of all the new diversions that exist now) and not that abilities previously achievable are no longer
