"Journey into the subconscious" - Works of our residents. Journey into the subconscious

About the film.

I believe that the history of the creation of this film has its roots far beyond the boundaries of this life. If earlier I expressed my creative ideas through paintings and music, now, like many others, I combine my ideas using a computer. As a result, this one was born strange movie. I couldn’t decide which genre to classify it into, so I came up with my own: “musical and philosophical relaxation.” Of course, in lucid dreams there is no such chatter as in the film, but without it, some moments might be perceived incorrectly. Of course, not everything worked out so smoothly, considering that this is my first film. The film was made slowly, at convenient moments. It ended up being about 7 years. And this, of course, has a certain disadvantage, since during this time you understand that some moments could have been done completely differently. Of course, you shouldn’t think that these are my dreams or anyone else’s, much of this is still fantasy, although whenever possible I tried to adhere to the laws that reign in the subtle worlds. I didn’t strive for realism, because the goals were different. The plots were directly read from the head into the computer and immediately animated. Perhaps in some places I went too far with surrealism, I will be more careful in future, although I can’t promise :). In general, of course, I wanted to do something positive, I don’t know how successful I was, it’s not for me to judge. The main task was not to deviate from the main topic, which was never revealed. Obviously, we will have to reveal it in the next part. But it all depends on the circumstances; perhaps more than one year will pass. But a continuation will still have to be made, and then, as they say: “we’ll see how it’s done.”

Spring Equinox Day - traditions, beliefs and rituals

The Day of the Spring Equinox is one of the ancient pagan holidays, which was celebrated by many peoples. This is one of the eight days of power a year, revered by sorcerers and magicians. At this time he awakens...

"Journey into the Subconscious"

Let's start!

Subconscious is not a name settlement, which we just passed, dear reader. The human subconscious is a fascinating book that has not yet been read, published for each of us in a single copy. You can now hear about the subconscious everywhere, both appropriately and inappropriately. They remember him as if by chance, so that, by attributing something alien and unusual to him, they could set idle and simply curious people on the wrong trail.
We fly away into the vast Space, we descend into the dark depths of the world ocean, we penetrate to the hot center of the Earth - grandiose goals, beckoning distances... But what do we know about ourselves, about our inner world? How can this small discovery, you defend yourself, compare with the grandiose plans of Humanity? You will, of course, be surprised, but the roots and beginning of everything that surrounds us, and what we strive for in our lives, are located right here - in our subconscious. That’s good: it turned out that you don’t have to fly anywhere headlong, you can just relax and stay in your favorite place, on the sofa. Now no one is going anywhere!

I'm scratching my head - how strange it sounds

It is believed that the brain modern man contains approximately 30 billion neurons and weighs approximately 1.5 kg. The brain grows until a person is 20 years old, and then its growth stops. Modern science The connection between human brain size and IQ has not been proven. For example, a woman's brain is smaller than a man's, but due to an increase in the concentration of gray matter, the intellectual abilities of men and women are the same. Our body is 70% water, and our brain is even more so - 90%. Hence the possible representation of a person in the form of a leather bag containing a “cool” chemical water solution. There are constant chemical reactions going on inside this bag. Modern science has proven that the human body is completely renewed within 11 months. It turns out that our physiological age is no more than 11 months?!
The brain is an organ that represents the center of the nervous system. It is located inside the skull and spine: the brain and spinal cord. The brain is comparable to a planet, and its sections are comparable to continents, representing the right and left hemispheres. The left hemisphere is responsible for subject-logical and abstract thinking. The right hemisphere is your imaginative and associative thinking. Any information entering the brain is a sequence of bioelectric impulses in a neural network. The capacity of a child's brain is amazing. Its bioelectric activity exceeds the brain activity of a middle-aged person by 100 times! This is why it is so useful to “relapse into childhood” more often, thereby increasing our perception of the world around us.
From the moment of birth, our mental computers contain about 2 thousand individual programs designed to perfectly control our body. It is known that human intelligence over a lifetime can accommodate about 400 semantic positions for temporary storage, but this information, if not used, will disappear in about a month and a half. In short-term memory, information storage can last from a few seconds to 20 minutes. At the same time, the subconscious, or nervous memory, is capable of accommodating 5 billion actions and retaining this information throughout life. Apparently, it is not for nothing that scientists of the 21st century say that the modern individual, the “thinking person,” uses the capabilities of his consciousness not very wisely and very irrationally.
Our consciousness has three levels: ordinary consciousness(responsible for thinking), subconscious (responsible for our feelings) and superconscious (the engine of the will). Consciousness and subconsciousness interact equally: the spinal system is the nervous organ of consciousness, and the sympathetic system is the nervous organ of the subconscious. The sympathetic nervous system is not subject to human will. It has its center in the solar plexus - this is the “brain of the subconscious”. This center of mental processes that unconsciously control all vital important functions bodies. The front part of the brain is classified as the area of ​​consciousness, and the back part is referred to as the subconscious; the middle part of the brain is the “bridge” between them.
Let us imagine that the interaction between the human mind and body in a simplified form looks something like this: consciousness receives a thought, which causes excitations in the spinal nervous system, which generate a similar impulse in the nervous system of the subconscious and are thus transmitted directly creative environment. More than 90% of mental life takes place at the subconscious level.
Sometimes the subconscious is identified with the heart or soul of a person. Christian teaching says that man is created in the image and likeness of God, but this does not mean the head, arms and legs. It's about about the soul. And if the Holy Spirit descends on a person, then it illuminates his soul. Therefore, in order for the “holy place” to be occupied by the Holy Spirit, it is important that your soul is pure, and not just your thoughts and deeds.
The human soul consists of four components: three types of mind (instinctive - subconscious, intellectual - consciousness, spiritual - superconscious) and one’s own “I”. If a person’s soul is not in place, then uncertainty appears and this disrupts his psyche. He doesn't sleep well, he just can't find a place for himself. They often say that fear is in your heels. This means that the connection with the subconscious is temporarily lost, and this manifests itself in paralysis of the will, the inability of the subconscious to turn on the body’s defense mechanisms, which often ultimately leads to disastrous results.

Knock louder - there's a deaf dog in the yard!

Now we know that the subconscious exists and has its own will. It leads its own life, which continuously strives to achieve harmony, health and happiness. The subconscious always strives to serve life and act constructively. At the same time, consciousness, processing sensory perceptions, is constantly turned on and causes a terrible confusion of incorrect opinions, unfounded fears and false attitudes. The instinct of self-preservation is the strongest in human nature. Therefore, the factor of male excess mortality - “psychological suicide”, when an incorrectly consciously chosen “lifestyle” inevitably leads to loss of health and premature death, cannot be attributed to the normal subconscious.
It is believed that only 1/7 of information is perceived by a person consciously, and the remaining 6/7 - subconsciously. When using trance techniques, subliminal messages are carried out when information is perceived by a person beyond the threshold of his consciousness, that is, subconsciously. Some of these unauthorized influences, such as direct intervention, exposure to drugs, exposure to 25 frames or high and low sound frequencies, as well as hypnosis, can do more harm than good. With the help of the mind, people constantly try to penetrate the subconscious. By controlling your subconscious (article “Lord of Dreams” in “New Interesting Newspaper” No. 7, 2004, part Dd), you can, immersed in pleasant dreams, solve many of your own life problems on your own. Acceptable for successful contact with the subconscious is influence through special mental exercises - meditation. During meditation, a person’s intellect is separated from the body, and the body itself regulates its activity (cell reconstruction), that is, control of the body is transferred from consciousness to the subconscious.
The method of dynamic meditation by H. Silva, using control over the rhythms of the brain (alpha rhythm - from 7 to 14 Hz), allows a person to independently enter a state of deep sleep without falling asleep. This method of controlling consciousness allows you to open a “tunnel to the subconscious” and use all the enormous creative power of the subconscious for the benefit of yourself and others. The universal method of subconscious immersion (UMP) by S. Kholnov is also suitable for introducing any attitudes into one’s “subcortex.” With the help of the UMP, you can ask yourself any psychological attitudes - introduce into your subconscious the programs necessary for you. Most often, such programming occurs not so much for the purpose of healing the body, but in order to act effectively in life and intelligently shape one’s destiny. For all of these methods, the key to success is relaxation. Do not think about how you can fulfill your desire (prayer) and perceive it - regardless of whether it is about health, money, work or family life- as an action that has already taken place.

Think about good things, talk about good things...

It is noticed that human brain A frequency level of oscillations on average equal to 10 rhythms per second passes 30 times per second - this is the alpha rhythm. Constant repetition of positively (negatively) directed phrases of self-hypnosis (suggestion) leads to accidental entry of information directly into the subconscious, which leads to negative or positive results. That is why you cannot, for example, call your child a fool, an idiot, or something worse for a minor offense. Deposited in the child’s sensitive subconscious (his brain rhythm is often equal to the alpha rhythm), negative image will become a reference point in real life. The subconscious does not understand jokes and figurative meaning.
Not worth it great attention devote to horoscopes or fortune telling. Japanese scientists have proven that impressionable people are 85% programmed as a result of what they were told and then act in life like zombies with their consciousness turned off. Fortune-telling and various glimpses into the future for many uninitiated people, for example, palmistry, given Slavic fatalism, will not lead to anything good if an orientation is given to negative results.
Positive thinking should become a part of you. A pessimist says - we are going to the bottom, and an optimist says - we are already at the bottom. You say the glass is half empty, but I say it is half full. If you tell your child not to slam the door when leaving, he will definitely slam it. If you tell him to carefully close the doors, he will do so. The subconscious mind does not understand the particles "not".
The subconscious mind needs time to absorb the attitudes penetrating into it from the mind, and to rearrange its “work” in accordance with them - this is the “buildup of the psyche.” When we speak: " Good morning", - we set a positive psychological attitude for the entire next day and, first of all, this attitude is addressed to ourselves. If you want to use the magical power of the subconscious, use the following positive attitude: "Endless healing power my subconscious fills my entire being: it manifests itself in the form of harmony, health, peace, joy and material well-being."
Unfortunately, in modern society the dominant goals are money, sex and power. Over the years, one of these goals - "sex" - is replaced by another - "health". If you are concerned about your health, use this mental attitude: “Every day I am getting better, better, better in every way. Every day I feel better, better, better in every way.” These settings can be repeated 20 times a day, but you can use methods of immersion in the subconscious only 1 time a day - the result will be the same. You will be able to feel better, and good health will become normal for you, because you have entrusted it to the invisible power of the subconscious, which can do anything! Any disease is contrary to Mother Nature herself, so your voice will be heard. A sick person thinks negatively, and this destroys his nerves and glands, which cleanse the body of toxins. Fear, concern, jealousy, hostility and other negative thoughts are gradually replaced by positive attitudes on a conscious and later on a subconscious level. During one moment of time, a person can have only one thought; the slower the change of thoughts occurs, the lower the brain rhythm, the calmer and healthier we feel. Remember what Pushkin said: “There is no happiness in the world, but there is peace and will!” If some negative or obsessive thought haunts you, just say to yourself: “Erase, erase, erase,” and imagine how you erase it in your brain with your hand. Rest assured, a stubborn thought will not stay with you for long.
The law of life wants you to be happy, wealthy and successful, but the one who makes money his main meaning in life has made the wrong decision. It is unacceptable, however, to view money as something evil or excessive - you will only forcefully push it away from yourself. Every person should lead a balanced life and also satisfy his needs for spirituality, harmony, love, joy and perfect health. At the same time, the desire to be rich is a desire for a more fulfilling, happier and more have a wonderful life. And this desire of yours will be fulfilled by the subconscious! By repeating many times daily, you will be able to increase your cash: “Money is success! Money flows to me from all sides in abundance. With its help, I will do a lot of good and useful things. I am grateful for my material and mental wealth.” The wording may be different, the main thing is that it is laconic and easy to reproduce, does not contain mutually exclusive concepts, is useful for you and does not harm other people. You have to believe in what you say, it's best if you imagine a movie where you - main character, where they give you good money for a job well done and sincerely thank you. Remember this pleasant feeling, try to reproduce it when you need it.
If you want the positive attitudes that you may come up with for yourself in the future to work, you need to always be truthful to yourself - tell yourself the same thing and think the same thing. You also cannot say one thing, do another, think another, as Cicero did in his time. This can confuse the subconscious - it will refuse to understand you and will withdraw into itself. Since the subconscious is part human soul, then working on your subconscious is working on your soul.
Now a very important conclusion. Since consciousness always chooses the dominant idea, it means that what your soul is doing will be the goal of your subconscious. And since the subconscious (the sphere of acquired reflexes) has a huge influence on human actions through consciousness, then such eternal problems of humanity, how alcoholism, substance abuse, drug addiction, nicotine and even non-chemical addictions can be forgotten on planet Earth forever with the help of work on the subconscious. No joke, you probably know people who don’t smoke, drink or use drugs? Now fighters against all kinds of chemical and non-chemical addictions of people are beginning to understand that working with the human psyche is the key to solving the problems of any addiction. Long live independence! It is necessary to systematically work on the cause, and not on the effect, in any situation, and then the result will be positive.

We are what we think

Ancient people believed that we are what we eat. But we are what we think. Each person is also who he perceives himself to be, first of all, on a subconscious level, and somewhere on the conscious. The world in which we all exist is the result of our perception. There is a Global Law of Instability of the Universe - nothing in this world, not even a single moment (not even time itself) remains unchanged. Constant rebirth human body does not lead to a permanent change in our psychological self; it is, as it were, permanent. Therefore, our consciousness is continuous. True Faith can also become the key to the gates of the subconscious, because what we believe consciously, our subconscious also considers true and reacts accordingly. Your true thoughts and genuine feelings are always imprinted in your subconscious, and not just empty words and statements devoid of any measure.
Some scientists associate unconscious mental phenomena with the human subconscious. We classify two such groups of phenomena as the psychic unconscious, called the subconscious. The first is everything that was conscious and can, under certain conditions, become conscious. The second is skills that have been brought to the point of automatism and therefore ceased to be recognized and conflicts that have been repressed from the sphere of consciousness. The sphere of the subconscious also includes deeply learned social norms- “voice of conscience”, “call of the heart”, “command of duty”. The presence of intuition based on accumulated experience is also a manifestation of the subconscious. The subconscious is a means of protecting consciousness from extra work and intolerable loads, the subconscious mind frees consciousness from stressful overloads.
You should not be afraid to take control of your own subconscious, although perhaps our subconscious is the abyss about which Nietzsche once said: “If you persistently peer into the abyss, the abyss begins to peer into you.” Control is always needed, because it is no secret that many everyday conflicts on the “fertile” soil of alcohol and drugs lead to everyday murders, and blind faith leads to the unconditional acceptance by the subconscious of the fact that the unchanged consciousness rejects, for example, faith in Satan. Such faith in the followers of “darkness” forgives even sophisticated ritual murders.

Internet - resting

Jung, Vernadsky and other scientists called a single information sphere that unites the subconscious of all people (past and future) the noosphere or collective unconscious. One can imagine that, by analogy with the worldwide global computer network Internet, the noosphere consists of many “sites” - egregors, that is, homogeneous groups of people connected by faith, culture, and ideological community. Each of us is part of the noosphere and at the same time its creator. Invisible connections, uniting the immortal soul of man with the noosphere, permeate time and space. Superintuition, clairvoyance, clairaudience, telepathy, telekinesis and many other parapsychological phenomena become real for people who have expanded the boundaries of ordinary consciousness.
Various layers of the subconscious are connected and synchronized with the corresponding layer of the noosphere. In the normal state, the consciousness of a normal average person is connected only with a narrow sphere of the subconscious. All other areas are inaccessible. In the subconscious of any person there also lies a huge number of subpersonalities that make up his inner mental world. The human psyche seems to have an invisible switch (faucet - shower). When the consciousness (faucet) is turned on, the subconscious (shower) is turned off, and vice versa. By setting out on a journey into the subconscious, we open within ourselves a communication channel with the Creator, the Creator. And if someone has not yet chosen a goal in life, let a great goal become a revelation for him - he must become a co-author of the Creator! The Creator in the process of creation needs your help. The idea of ​​making this world a better place together with the Creator - what could be more attractive!

The many faces of the subconscious

When you fly on an airplane, you don’t think about why the plane flies and doesn’t fall, but it’s heavier than air. You don’t think about which direction to fly and at what altitude. The pilot will take care of this for you. But in a critical situation, God forbid, of course, you will have to fly the plane yourself and then it will be your business. Also, managing your own subconscious does not become necessary for you until a critical situation arises, for example, deterioration in health.
It is known that magicians never tell their secrets - this destroys the illusion. But how to destroy the illusion that surrounds us 24 hours a day and not only in relation to such a thing as the subconscious? The subconscious is not a magician and its ultimate goal is not illusion, but reality.
Deep faith in the power of the subconscious and your imagination can truly create miracles incomprehensible to the ordinary mind. Recent studies by Western scientists have shown that when training to increase strength right hand the left one increases its strength by 30% without any training, isn’t this the “invisible” work of the subconscious. Finally, the lazy people's cherished dream has come true! Unknown to many yoga fans, yoga physical static exercises to increase strength are also based on the work of the brain and subconscious, since with maximum muscle tension it is also necessary to imagine how these muscles grow and increase in volume. To enhance the effect of this kind of bodybuilding, it is recommended to imagine an image or look at a real photograph of a human bodybuilder with well-developed muscles that you are training - the subconscious mind receives an orientation towards the ultimate goal of such work of the body.
Our subconscious, like a modern American spy super-system "Echelon", accumulates and processes absolutely all the information that enters our body from the world around us, stores it throughout our lives and even after death (reincarnation). This information comes to us not only from the 5 senses and intuition. This can be either body temperature or sensations associated with various experiences, stressful situations and much, much more. That is why there is nothing surprising in the fact that in moments of life that are mortally dangerous for a person, his entire previous life flashes through his consciousness (distant storehouses of the subconscious open up) in a matter of moments.
“This is a chair,” says consciousness when we see a chair. “They are sitting on it,” says the subconscious. What comes to mind first, without thinking, is a manifestation of the subconscious. When a soldier sees an officer, he salutes, not because he suddenly remembered that this is written in the Military Regulations. Being not only determines consciousness, but also powerfully influences the subconscious.
The subconscious has many faces, but it has one goal. It wants to bring you healing, good health, wealth, success, happiness, harmony with people and the world around you. Go towards your subconscious, discover it for yourself, love your subconscious. It's yours! Use its magical power, discover your inexhaustible Klondike!

This is yet another proof that everyone can travel into their own subconscious, everyone can discover their own Eldorado!

Greetings, dear children. I'm Evgeniy, the author of the animated film "Journey into the Subconscious". I decided to post my project on a crowdfunding platform. For those who are not yet familiar with the theme of the film, you can first familiarize yourself with the first part at the link: https://youtu.be/273dGn7cI38

I agree with some comments, for the mass audience the film may seem a little "crazy", but this is just an incorrect definition of surrealism. This definition is partly correct, since it concerns subtle world dreams in which the conscious and unconscious are closely intertwined.

Therefore, I decided that it is best to film such a topic in such a visual, entertaining, musical and philosophical format, with elements of humor, fairy tales and surrealism. To do this, I do not hesitate to use any non-standard techniques. The main thing is that all this has at least some positive connotation, and not an apocalyptic one, as has already happened in modern cinema. I hope the second part will be softer.

In the story, the main character searches for the truth, traveling in a dream, constantly communicating with the symbol of his mind (the head of an old man) and overcoming various surreal situations.

The topic of lucid dreams touched upon in the film is not the main one. This is just an excuse to bring the viewer closer to other worlds. In general, the essence of the film is to show the approximate structure of existence, with its invisible worlds, where their own unearthly laws reign.

With worlds that a person will definitely have to face someday. This is an attempt, at least indirectly, to indicate that " Higher beginning", which is located inside the person himself. But this moment is still far away, since the film is full-length, and is divided into parts, each of which takes more than one year to make :)

It is no secret that the work of a director, screenwriter, editor, sound engineer, composer, etc. is related to financing. I won’t go into prices, but compared to others famous cartoons, where every second of animation is “worth its weight in gold”, the amount indicated here really looks symbolic, even taking into account the “planet” commission and tax. Considering that the film will be approximately 25 minutes long.

Despite the fact that the film is being made on the knees, I try to maintain a comfortable quality. To do this, you have to combine all the studio workers, which is why the first part took 7 years. Programs are being studied in parallel.

All musical compositions I’m writing it myself, it still takes extra time. I hope to finish the second part quickly, because more than a half already done. Thanks to you, dear shareholders, the creation process will go faster.

But in any case, the film will be released, the only difference will be time. It’s just that your support brings a certain discipline and responsibility to the creation process, optimally distributes time and opportunities, and perhaps prepares the way for the creation of the third part.

In 1803, Thomas Young directed a beam of light onto an opaque screen with two slits. Instead of the expected two stripes of light on the projection screen, he saw several stripes, as if there was interference (superposition) of two waves of light from each slot. In the XX–XXI centuries. it was shown that not only light, but any single elementary particle and even some molecules behave like a wave, as if passing through both slits at the same time. However, if you place a sensor at the slits that determines what exactly happens to the particle in this place and through which particular slit it still passes, then only two stripes appear on the projection screen, as if the fact of observation (indirect influence) destroys the wave function and the object behaves like matter.

Probably, at that time it was the brightest and most valuable event in my life, so I appreciated it and treasured it in my memory. I even told someone about this, but for some reason they didn’t really believe me. Why? In my mind, I found myself among the chosen ones, who were noticed and who for some reason turned out to be needed. So these memories would be my most valuable asset if there were no continuation.

A couple of months later I woke up in bed during the day and again couldn’t move. I was also overcome by animal fear and horror, but for some reason I immediately realized that this time the aliens had nothing to do with it. Which among broad daylight aliens?! If only at night... For this or another reason, my body was no longer moving anywhere. I just lay there in horror, trying to move my body, and after about 1-2 minutes I succeeded. Now there have already been two unusual phenomena in my life, but what should I attribute what happened to?

Gradually, I began to remember books and articles about psychics who “left the body” or entered the “astral plane.” Judging by the description, I had something similar to their experiences: vibrations, tinnitus, paralysis of the body. In general, I always dreamed about this and, perhaps, even tried to experience something similar, but nothing worked. My suspicions were confirmed when it happened again a few weeks later.

Again I will reassure, but I will disappoint some: this book is far from being about out-of-body and astral travel. But first things first.

At that time, it was clear to me that I had a unique gift that others did not have and that needed to be developed. This could open up incredible opportunities, and the world no longer seemed boring and gray to me! In the bookstore I found a section where the answers to all my questions were collected, and in everything I saw the absolute truth of the last instance. This was a section of esoteric literature... Of course, I couldn’t buy books due to lack of funds, so I just read them there on the spot. Bookstores I then attended church more often than the most religious person.

Books often talked about out-of-body travel, the astral plane, or lucid dreams, but for some reason the technologies described did not work. However, this spontaneously began to happen to me once every few weeks. For some reason it always happened after sleep. I still had animal fear, but I was able to overcome it. At first, I “removed” only one hand from my body for a few seconds. The next time, the upper part of the body and after some time, completely “separated” from the body, I could already walk around the room, getting used to the sensations. I also noticed that sometimes my soul “left” my body in my room, and sometimes I found myself in some kind of world, perhaps the same “astral plane” that I read about in books and newspapers. I also began to have lucid dreams, when in the plot of a dream I suddenly realized that everything around me was a dream, and I did what I wanted. Thus, I gained three superpowers! And I was ready to punch anyone in the face who would say that I was wrong. After all, all this was real from the point of view of my experience.

You shouldn’t think that everything was some kind of imagination or dreams, because it was not for nothing that fear arose. While in these unusual states, I maintained full consciousness and self-understanding, but did not feel the physical body in the bed. At the same time, all sensations were preserved in my “divided” soul or some kind of phantom, astral body. These sensations were so vivid that hyperrealism and clarity of perception often arose, which was many times greater than the sensations familiar to a person. When I was there, the same thought haunted me: “Why is it still as real as in the physical world? How is this possible?!”

I must say that by this time my mother had gotten married and I had a younger brother. All together they left for even more northern regions of Siberia, and at the age of 18 I began to completely independent life: If you didn’t earn money, you didn’t eat. Since I could not immediately go to university and become an orientalist, and at the same time I was a healthy athlete, I already worked as a bouncer in nightclubs from the age of 17. First acquaintance with real life, money and women happened precisely in such an “intelligent” environment.

However, both at work and at home, I was rarely freed from thoughts about my own “gift.” I wanted to explore it, understand what it is, and find all the possibilities it holds. Although everything was terribly confusing and incomprehensible, I was 100% sure that there was an elegant explanation of what was happening that could be logically integrated into an understandable picture of the world. How can I do that?

It seemed to me that this requires practice and experimentation. And here I stepped on a rake that not a single experimenter in this area passes by. How to check that you are really “leaving” your body? Right! You need to “experientially” show yourself to someone or learn something you don’t know. For example, you can see which card from the deck you placed on the cabinet. Everything looks simple at first glance, but not in practice. It seems that you “come out” of your body and at the same time find yourself in the physical world; Moreover, the cards coincide only within the limits of probability theory, as in other tests of this kind. It is even more incomprehensible why, having “left the body,” I still feel in the usual physical body and it’s not always possible to achieve expectedly simple things, like taking off or passing through a wall?

One way or another, I gradually realized a very definite thing that this way out is best achieved not before bedtime, as is recommended everywhere in books, but at the stage of awakening. Especially in the morning or after a nap. Later, I realized that people simply psychologically evaluate the experience gained after sleep lower and therefore often distance themselves from conversations on this topic. I intuitively called ineffective actions before going to bed “direct method”, and when waking up “indirect method”. It was the second point that began to give me more and more opportunities to experiment. And it was this factor that led me to serious consequences: from now on I could test in practice everything that was written about in books from the esoteric shelf. Isn’t that where all these fabulous and amazing stories, while readers do not have the opportunity to test them in practice?

For example, in one of the books I read that, having “left the body,” you can fly to people you know, pinch them, and they will be left with a real bruise on that very part of the body. Many people read this with their mouths open, just like I did in my youth. But I could check it! Having caught the moment of awakening, I could use some technique, “exit” the body and fly to my friends or relatives, pinching them wherever possible. Well, I did this dozens of times before I asked myself a simple question: if the author of that book really did what he described, then why does he talk about it so casually and why didn’t he try to conduct a similar experiment at least once again? Same Nobel Prize, least. But no: the author left only short description. And this is a typical template for any such story. And for any book of this kind. And everything is not repeated in experiments...
