may i ask why you’re so determined on this?
It’s not really something you should seek.
maybe i’m missing something on your background / interest.
But for common occasions,
i don’t really recommend someone to attempt this by his own.
And,
generally speaking,
in regards to Death you should talk to Abbaddon / Azrael / Kali - who ever suits your understanding best, out of the Death-Gods.
I think you might overly romanticise the concept.
Death is painful.
Each time you go through it again.
Not something you should seek.
But if you really want to gain your own gnosis on this…
What’s your degree of expierience?
Can you fully travel outside of your body,
or is that the motivation of your working,
to gain Soul Travel skills?
…
But since you already ask,
it’s not like there aren’t any answers…
and since you make the impression towards me,
as if you might need it handed in chewable pieces to you;
Draw a circle,
into a box,
into a triangle.
Insie that,
you place a Wallnut,
representing your Brain, and the seat of your consciousness,
on a piece of white silk or Cotton,
which represents your energetic self.
study that object,
laying inside the circle, in the box, in the triangle.
Assume, you’ve never seen anything like it.
Try to grasp it,
as a child tries to grasp the weather around him.
when you feel a dark pull and hopelessness,
you’re actually doing it correctly,
so don’t back off just out of fear.
You’ll project your understanding of your consciousness into the walnut,
and your astral body into the white cotton.
notice,
how they’re not the same thing.
Notice,
that they rely on each other.
Then,
let go of your consciousness.
Take the walnut out of your field of view,
and simply gaze the white cotton itself.
At that point,
the lingering discomfort should have grown to an extend,
that actually does feel frightening.
actually even horific.
once you do feel that compellment inside of you,
you’re ready to project your self - and i mean only your energetic self - not your mind, not your consciousness;
into the Cotton.
It takes either sensory deprevation,
or a solid Trance state,
to actually get into the correct sensations.
But when you expierience them,
you have no doubt about them being real.
Try to drift fully over,
into the sensation,
and - ideally - seperate your energetic self from your vessle.
It should natrually remain calmly in a coma / Sleep like state,
once you’re out.
Unless you’re actually trained in Soul Travel,
and capable of projecting whilst being awake.
Now,
when you bound yourself completely inside that cotton,
and go back into your body,
you can feel a part of you still clinguing inside of the cotton,
regardless of you going out of the room,
back to do other stuff,
even work or sleep.
next,
you grind a fine powder,
from the Walnut you used to represent your conciousness inside the exercise.
Mix it with a Dagger’s Tip (0,3g) of Copal incense,
and then add Mhyrre, Clove, Lavender and a Drop of your blood.
Grind it together until you have a nice paste like consitency,
adding more blood when it’s to dry or not binding.
the paste,
you should store cold and dark (fridge or cellar),
because you want to keep it,
in case anything goes wrong.
You then,
place the paste on the cotton,
and speak into it:
"Sat Nam,
true self,
remain dormant and secured,
regardless of what my body or soul do.
I trust you,
to await me,
for when i’ve expierienced,
the renewal of my H’ak’akal.
I let go of my mind,
my attention and my worries,
my hopes and my dreams,
and store them safely,
to remain untouched,
of the working i’m now undertaking."
Place the jar in a safe spot,
and make sure you marked it for later use.
Then,
imbue either yourself into a Magickal object
(if your main goal was to overcome your body,
and be released from it,
but remain in this world),
on the Cotton,
similar to how you imbued the paste,
but by forcing all of your energy into that item.
Or,
let go of your vessle and drift into one of the Gates,
that you can percieve during that state.
if you prefer to let go of your body completely,
simply stay outside of this world,
and make a full cut away from your body.
If you prefer to just “sight-see” in the other realms,
go outside,
but keeping a firm sensation of knowingness,
where you belong,
and intend to pull yourself back,
after your traveling has been sufficient.
Now,
to sum that up quickly,
why do you need that paste then.
The paste,
is capable of breaking the effects of the ritual and pulling you back into a more “human” state,
whilst the other expierience is actually going,
and percieving to die,
to release from the faculties of this world.
Going back,
and continuing life,
after you’ve crossed the bridge,
can be very difficult,
depending on your actual state,
and skill level.
So i included that act of caution,
in case you,
or someone utilizing this rite,
might run into problems.
- i highly recommend you stick to having that backup when you go deeper.
It’s actually part of the expierience,
and also helps loosen the grid towards your current vessle,
when you’re preparing the paste.
Not sure,
if this answers,
what you wanted to know me.
As this discussion has gone on for a while,
since you’ve asked for advice.
But i guess i covered most questions you’re about to ask regarding the topic.
Enjoy the rite.
Sincerely,
¥’Berioth
