Summary
Highlights
The speaker introduces a method to project awareness or leave the body at will. This is important because it reveals that one's true self is not the physical body and allows consciousness to be projected anywhere. This capability can be used to check on loved ones, witness global events, or explore other dimensions. The speaker notes that similar techniques have been used by science for other purposes, but the focus here is on self-discovery and understanding one's true potential beyond the physical form.
The 'X' method begins by finding a comfortable, relaxed position, possibly with dimmed lights. Take deep breaths to achieve a calm state. Select a specific point (an 'X') directly in front of you. While maintaining focus on this 'X', visualize yourself reaching and moving towards it without any physical movement. The goal is to mentally transport your awareness to this spot. This method is most effective when your body is shutting down for sleep, but your mind remains alert.
If successful, you will find yourself at the 'X' spot and see your physical body in its original position. The speaker refers to this as an 'out-of-body experience' (OBE), but prefers the term 'shifting awareness.' It's crucial not to panic or feel fear, as this will immediately return your awareness to your physical body. If this happens, simply try again. The state feels very real, often more so than physical reality.
Once you are successfully at the 'X' spot and free from fear, you can travel anywhere by simply thinking of the desired location. This could be another room, a friend's house, the bottom of the ocean, the moon, across the galaxy, or even to another dimension or to visit deceased relatives. Time and space do not operate in this state, making instantaneous travel possible. To return to your body, simply think of yourself in your physical form, and your awareness will shift back immediately.
