In his song Beatle, George Harrison sings about... "the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion. Never glimpse the truth - then it's far too late-when they pass away."

In another song he sings... "Without going out of my door I can know all things of earth. With out looking out of my window I could know the ways of heaven. The farther one travels, the less one knows."

So, how is it possible to experience the world or heaven without going out of your door?

Historical artifacts dating back to the Indus Valley Civilization (3300-1700 BCE) indicate that the main goal of yoga was raising one's level of conscious awareness. No matter which branch of ancient Eastern Civilizations you study, a single supreme practice always lies at the heart, either locked behind seven seals (obstacles), or necessitating decades of preparation.

Its goal is to release the conscious awareness from the confines of the physical body. It is sometimes referred to as the eighth and highest level of yoga - the state of samadhi, or dream yoga.

* Why did ancient peoples pursue it, and why do modern high-level yogis still practice it?

It may shock you to learn that Yogis believe this practice to be a way to train for the process of dying. They believe that before another senseless reincarnation after physical death, we find ourselves in a special intermediate state - "Sidqai Bardo". However, we are usually unable to maintain conscious awareness during it, and this is the main reason why we find ourselves on Earth once again in a new incarnation.

If over the course of a lifetime, one practices consciously separating the mind from the body while still preserving full awareness of one's surroundings, this will facilitate control of the process after death and finally stop the cycle of rebirth, allowing one to reunite with the stardust of the universe.

Years of apprenticeship are no longer a prerequisite. Separating conscious awareness from the body is now only a matter of learning a simple technique. And the important thing is not only that you will soon find yourself outside of your own body, but also that it turns out that all of this has incredible practical implications for the modern person.

-  First, take it from here that you've never experienced anything this incredible thus far in your life, nor will anything match it again in the future.

-  Second, this is a way to travel to any corner of the Universe.

-  Third, this is a way to obtain information.

-  Fourth, this opens up incredible possibilities for self-healing.

-  Fifth, this is a way for the disabled, including those who are bedridden, to break down all barriers. They can now do everything!
