Learn Astral Projection: Interactive Quiz to Do It Step-By-Step
Discovering Astral Projection Through Questions
Sometimes, the most powerful way to truly learn something new isn’t by being told what to do; but by being guided to ask the right questions and explore the answers for yourself. This is the spirit of the Socratic method, an ancient and effective teaching approach in which you don’t just memorize facts, but actively reflect and reason your way to understanding.
In this interactive quiz, you’ll be gently prompted to think deeply about what makes the ideal conditions for astral projection. Each question is designed not only to test your current knowledge, but to encourage you to imagine, consider, and deduce the best possible practices on your own. Through this exploration, you’ll begin building your own foundation of understanding; even before the full technique is revealed.
By the end, after you’ve contemplated each step and considered your own answers, you’ll unlock a comprehensive astral projection guide. This way, when you’re ready to practice, you’ll find yourself equipped not only with instructions, but with a true sense of inner insight and readiness.
So, let’s begin: approach each question with curiosity and openness, and discover how asking (and answering) the right questions can lead you to new realms of experience.
Astral projection begins not with effort, but with preparation: a mindful ritual of setting the stage for your consciousness to step beyond the ordinary. The environment is your sanctuary: select a quiet room where you feel utterly secure and free from disturbance. Do all you can to seal it off from sudden noise, or use a gentle white noise sound to produce a steady, soothing backdrop. Let the lighting fall to a peaceful dim glow; total darkness can make your inner senses too alert, while bright light agitates your mind. Ideally, the atmosphere fosters deep tranquility: keep rituals simple, or eliminate them, unless they aid your focus. Anything distracting should be pared away.
Prepare yourself as mindfully as you prepare the room. Take care of practical needs beforehand so you won’t need to interrupt your session. Put on loose, comfortable clothing, and remove jewelry, glasses, watches, or anything that might distract you or weigh you down. Lie down on a firm but comfortable surface; a bed, yoga mat, or even the floor; placing a blanket within reach. Align yourself as you prefer: some traditions suggest your head points north to aid subtle energies, but comfort always comes first. The classic position is the yogic corpse pose: lying flat on your back, arms resting by your sides, legs gently outstretched, head level or only very gently propped.
With eyes gently closed and the room at a comfortable, neutral temperature, begin a slow and thorough journey of relaxation. Start at your feet. Imagine each toe and muscle as if you are melting tension out of them. Progressively relax the ankles, calves, knees, thighs, hips, then up through your spine, chest, shoulders. Feel your arms, hands, neck, jaw, eyelids, and even your scalp become heavier and more relaxed with each breath. Take your time; rushing or forcing this step overwhelms the process.
Occasionally, you might need to swallow or scratch; do so gently, then settle back. If you find it difficult to remain still, remind yourself not to treat stillness as a chore or test. Let your posture become more and more restful with each moment, and treat small movements as part of the process; not failures.
When your body feels weightless and distant, begin to imagine your awareness slowly rising or expanding beyond your skin, perhaps first above your head, filling that space lightly. Do not rush or force sensations. Only if this feels natural, picture your consciousness as a formless, gentle mist that could soon “leak” upward and outward from your crown. Do not long for or expect spectacular phenomena. Here, the less you expect, the more freely your mind may roam.
At this subtle juncture, remain completely calm. The most common cause of a “failed” projection is letting excitement or anxiety break your relaxation. If you sense unusual vibrations, surges of energy, a floating sensation or even the initial “leakage” of consciousness, simply greet this with serene curiosity. Treat it as if you are just relaxing; the more you trick your mind into not caring if projection happens, the more likely it will manifest.
If your consciousness begins to “leak” or rise: Focus gently on the sensation of your awareness extending further above you. Some find it helps to visualize a cord, beam, or rope and to calmly will themselves upward along it, hand over hand, as if climbing; always with a feeling of neutrality rather than ambition. Let your perception float with the current above your head, remaining patient and relaxed if all you feel is a subtle shift. If you find yourself separating or floating, direct your awareness ever so slightly away from your physical body; don’t look back. Remain gently anchored in calm and open curiosity.
Even if you are suddenly pulled back into your body by excitement or a disruptive thought, do not be discouraged. This is part of the practice. Each attempt, no matter how brief or incomplete, deepens your familiarity with the subtle state you seek and sets the stage for longer, more vivid journeys in future sessions.
The secret lies in balancing depth of relaxation with playful detachment, and allowing yourself to be both present and unconcerned with success. Through consistent, gentle practice, you will slowly teach your body and mind to access, recognize, and inhabit these extraordinary states. The astral is always accessible; waiting calmly for your relaxed, quietly curious exploration.

Hello john
lately i have been studying your work on logic specifically “the mad logician” and “the occult experience”
However, i have found 2 seemingly contradictory points:
1. Uncompromising logic and beliefs creating reality:
It is stated in your work that beliefs create reality in a way ( beliefs > human attention > thoughts and emotions > thought forms > reality creation) , so you say that one way to change one’s life is to change their beliefs.
But doesn’t this clash with the Uncompromising logic of the mad logician?
As I understand it, the mad logician’s core principle is that nothing can be proven as an absolute fact, no beliefs are accepted unconditionally and that all “facts”(dogma) are actually based on assumptions.
So wouldn’t adopting new beliefs, whether positive or negative, be a kind of self-deception ? How can you change beliefs if none can be fully accepted as a fact in the first place?
I’m curious how you navigate this ( if “this” is true and i didn’t make a mistake in my reasoning) since in your magnum opus trilogy i remember you mentioned that we can’t run and hide from the physical world therefore it is recommended to fulfill maslow’s hierarchy of needs and basically have a comfortable enough life to proceed to the next step. Does one just use beliefs as tool then? like using beliefs as different colors to paint one’s life in accordance with their values/desires, knowing that it’s all a “lie” in a sense?(I think i just realized what you partially mean by “the cube” or prison, i honestly haven’t exlpored that much)
2. Uncompromising logic and your work on self-improvement:
The contradiction i found can be demonstrated most clearly by example: let’s take your article “Good Leaders Must be Able to Laugh at Themselves”, well i assume you know that’s, after all, not an absolute fact.
So here i find myself confused “So he says not to accept dogma and that all the so called facts/truths of the world are based on assumptions, yet now he’s spreading dogma? perhaps that’s his personal seeing and that’s an energetic fact he observed in the moment he decided to write the article?”
That’s basically my thought process, and i couldn’t get to an “end point” i just kept spinning in circles.
Now i’m not accusing you of being a con-artist or a fake guru nor am i trying to “catch you” in any way, believe me(ironic of me to say that) that’s not my intention. But the alternative would be to just accept dogma without questioning and after reading your work, i just can’t do that anymore.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Luke
I think that in some ways you have discovered your own answers, and that is good because this is as it should be.
The idea that there are things in the world that are facts is something that an inner alchemist must contend with early on. What I mean by this is that facts, in many ways, are an illusion. Logic, for example (if it is true logic, as the kind of logic that I mentioned in the book dealing with occult experience) tells us that there are only probabilities, no certainties. As such, the only time you are actually fooling yourself is when you believe that something is a fact. Since most people find this kind of attitude, let us say, difficult to handle, they then create or adhere to probabilities that they can accept as truth. Truth provides them with solace; an inner alchemist cannot afford such solace.
Inner alchemy understands that there is no bedrock reality per se; there are only a conglomeration of ideas that then take on different levels of certainty and therefore objective existence within any one particular individual. So that each individual, in that sense, is creating their own framework of reality. Through that discovery an inner alchemist may practice sorcery, which is in many ways a kind of self-deception; they play with beliefs and use different belief frameworks in order to play with reality itself.
As to the articles on this website, well, they are here to try to help, not to preach. You can take any article and choose to use it or not use it according to what you believe to be probable reality. If you think something helps you, if a certain advice works for you, then use it; play with your own reality. If you question something, then do so. Find your own truth, and in that sense create your own reality that way.
You are free. To judge me as being one thing or another is in essence the act of you trying to fit me into your belief structure. To judge is to believe (to give order to those beliefs) but how certain are you of those beliefs that you are judging me by? Are these rules that you used to judge me truths for you? And if they are, do you know that you are creating your world in accordance with those beliefs? So you had better be very certain about those beliefs you have; or at the very least understand that you are playing with beliefs by assigning them to be facts. Whatever the case, I’m very glad that you are thinking and questioning!
Your Logos is more complex than you imagine, you are more complex than you imagine. You can create aspects of self, where one aspect understands reality patterns of one world ( this world let us say) and another part understands others, you can have one aspect of yourself play with another. Belief and truth are games we play with ourselves, and yet they can be as real as a bus hurtling towards you. You can have a simultaneous reality where the bus is and is not there. I hope you can understand what I mean.
I believe i understand, a better way to put it would be a mix of better understanding and more awareness.
perhaps i was too certain in my efforts to escape false certainty, at least unconsciously.
thank you very much for the helpful reply!
I’ve been walking around my room for hours contemplating whether i can formulate my thoughts (which are by the way like a flood in my brain, the amount of () and “” and clarifications i’d write if i wrote every contradicting idea i had i’ll turn this message into a book. it’s kind of what you said about the aspects of self and it’s COMPLEXITY.) well enough to post this and not waste your time or sound like i’m asking questions for the sake of hearing myself talk.
Language is a misleading thing, so i’d like to preface this with making it known:
I maybe just a young man with too much time in his hands, i maybe crazy (whatever that means), i also maybe a very “smart” individual. Point is, i have enough humility to accept that i might be a fool (aren’t we all, honestly) and i probably KNOW nothing. (I’m already thinking this is a self-centered post and i wouldn’t blame you if you’re disinterested already, i’ll stop the self-pity/inner-monologue narration and get to it already.)
My question is:
How can you be so sure? and if you’re not well that’s my answer (i’ll explain later why).
Sounds like a surface-level question a skeptic might ask right? well yes but i mean it more fundamentally than that. It’s hard to explain without hypotheticals so:
Imagine you’re born today as a human being with an individual consciousness with which you’ll experience the world through(whether with the body and senses or out of it) (keyword “individual”). That’s how it usually is right?
Well in this scenario i will make the claim that a person’s awareness is so restricted, so limited and more importantly SO SUBJECTIVE (this is why i stressed the word individual…) that no matter how advanced/better/more “real” one’s perception or knowledge (whether that be by technology, inner alchemy, science, magick etc) he will NEVER be able to view reality AS IT “TRULY” IS.
Now i know i’m making a lot of not-absolute-fact claims here, but it’s a self-referential paradox in the end no? the phrase “Nothing can be proven to be an absolute fact” if ‘true’ would either 1) contradict itself or 2) it can’t be an absolute fact which confirms the phrase itself as an absolute fact WHICH MAKES IT CONTRADICT ITSELF 🙂
So it’s a paradox. Even perfect logic is a framework limiting consciousness and even if we can find a framework that “proves” perfect logic it’s still just another limiting framework and we go on till infinity…
So…all this leads back to the question:
How can you be so sure that you’re “right”? I don’t want this to sound like empty praise, but if there is a man i believe can answer this as objectively as possible (as much as our limited perception allows) it’s probably you, no pressure just an observation i made.
And if you’re not sure, that honestly brings me some peace, maybe because it will all finally “make sense” as to why it doesn’t “make sense”.
If you’ve read all this, i tried my best and my sincerest apologies for the word salad 🙂
“our perception of reality is limited” by a fellow young man called ‘Jules’
This is the video that sparked this mad rambling if you’re interested, i assume you’re older and prefer books
to highly edited material. but i’ll reserve my judgement perhaps it’ll spark questions in you too.
Thank you.
– A fellow nobody looking for answers in a reality that seemingly has none
This is a difficult question to answer, but it is difficult only because of words, and our words as I have said and you have also commented, are flawed.
At any particular point in space time, we occupy, in accordance to objective sense, that one particular point. From that one particular point where we find ourselves in what we consider to be physical reality, we look out into the world. We do so, as you have mentioned, with flawed senses, and dare I say with flawed brains as well.
But this is only so because we are trying to figure everything out from that objective and physical perspective that traps us. We think, most of us, that we are flesh only. As such we think we are bound by logic (or reason, and that being just basically simplistic logic and a whole lot of dogma). In our best attempts through logic we create gigantic edifices that we try to use to explain our world. This is actually a positive thing, but it becomes negative when we believe that these edifices are true, in reality they are only probabilities that exist only within that probability range at the time that we calculated whatever it was that we needed to calculate to create this probability. What this means, is that at every single moment point, our calculations differ. This is of course not what empirical science will tell you, but this is what sorcerers believe.
As such, their belief is that there is no fact, there is only probability within the bound cube of the flesh. But sorcerers have an ace up their sleeve, and that is that they do not believe the lie that they are only flesh, they have, through their own seeing, discovered that they are actually energy, that all is energy, vibrating.
Now, how do they know, how do they know that this is a fact. Well, they don’t believe in facts, they only believe in seeing. What does this mean? It means that any one particular point in space time, as you stand at the center of the universe, you have the possibility of going beyond the flesh, beyond rationality, beyond logic, and beyond any of the edifices created by man. Indeed, sorcerers would say that to do so is to break out of prison, and once free of that prison true reality becomes manifest, at least as true as is possible for a human being.
So how do they know that this is fact? Here’s where words get tricky, they don’t accept that it’s fact, they just accept that it is. There is no thinking in seeing, therefore there is no judging, no measurement, no hypothesis, there is just inner knowing. And this inner knowing is so overwhelmingly itself, that once you engage in it you know that what you are seeing is indeed the totality of the truth (energetic truth as I call it) at that one particular moment. Now, you could, let’s say theoretically, see again, at which time you would be at a slightly different point in space and time, and that seeing might be ever so slightly different in the knowing would still be total knowing, but that knowing would not be the same knowing that happened before. I hope you can understand what I mean.
As such for sorcerers, well they can play with logic, play with the Logos, as I have written, and in that way play with their own beliefs and create edifices to match their intention. But in the end sorcerers don’t have facts, they just have knowing, inner silent knowing.
This is a very complex topic sorry this is as clear as I could make it. Maybe I will consider doing an article on this and see if I can get any clearer. The critical point to understand here is that knowing has nothing to do with thinking, in actuality it is exactly the opposite of thinking. Once you understand that, then logic and whatever calculations and hypothesis you make, become an edifice to play with, a house that you keep in order to feel safe and comforted, but truth, at least energetic truth, is only possible when you let go of all of those edifices, that you yourself have created.
