part. Perhaps I had once been unwittingly exposed to
everything that I heard in that world, and simply not paid
attention to it, and now it was coming back to me in this
form.
Then, I suddenly got the idea that I should enjoy myself
in a more active and unusual way. After all, one ought live in

Healing Myself
After one of many morning awakenings, I hadn't moved
at all physically, and immediately began trying to separate
from the body. I realized after a couple of seconds of trying
that separation would not happen right then, and so I peered
into the void before my eyes, trying to discern any images.
There weren't any, and so after a few seconds I started with
phantom wiggling, which manifested itself somewhat in the
feet: both feet inched up somewhat, and them came back
down. Meanwhile, my ears were filled with a soft noise, and
there was a slight “buzz” in my body.
I tried to increase the amplitude of the motion for 5 to
10 seconds, but was still unable to achieve anything. In order
to overcome this barrier of some sorts, I decided to switch to
the technique of observing images for some time, and then
continue with phantom wiggling. However, the images came
on so strong that I realized that I could skip phantom
wiggling, as it would be much easier to simply use the
images. Before my mind's eye appeared a river, and behind it
a steep hill wooded with tall trees. I began to peer into it,
trying to take in the whole picture. It immediately became
sharper and sharper. I realized after 2 to 4 seconds that I was
viewing the picture just as if from a window in real life. As

into the room.
I quickly got to my feet and started palpating and trying
to see. My vision returned at once. The phase was sufficiently
deep that I could see everything as clearly as in reality.
Meanwhile, using the deepening techniques led to everything
becoming much more visually intense and colorful than I was
accustomed to in real life. This startled me a bit. The thought
