                       To Leave the Body


   '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.
