'Tis
not wise to strive to get out of your body until you have
thoroughly gained the Sight. The same ritual as to gain the Sight may
be used, but have a comfortable couch. Kneel so that you have your
thigh, belly and chest well supported, the arms strained forward and
bound one on each side, so that there is a decided feeling of being
pulled forward. As the trance is induced, you should feel a striving to
push yourself out of the top of your head. The scourge should be given
a dragging action, as if to drive or drag you out. Both wills should be
thoroughly in tune, keeping a constant and equal strain. When trance
comes, your tutor may help you by softly calling your name. You will
probably feel yourself drawn out of your body as if through a narrow
opening, and find yourself standing beside your tutor, looking at the
body on the couch. Strive to communicate with your tutor first; if they
have the Sight they will probably see you. Go not far afield at first,
and 'tis better to have one who is used to leaving the body with you.
A note: When, having succeeded in leaving the body, you desire to
return, in order to cause the spirit body and the material body to
coincide, THINK OF YOUR FEET. This will cause the return to take place.
