“I Have Flown Out of My Body and I Know Death Is a Lie”
In 2400 BCE, beneath the pyramid of Unas, the Egyptian priests entered a sealed chamber, lay down on a stone slab, recited the correct incantations from the Pyramid Texts, and deliberately stepped out of their body. The priest’s Ba rose as a human-headed bird, passed through solid rock, and travelled the night sky among the imperishable stars. The next morning the priest recorded everything he had seen. This was just a standard procedure for the initiated. Impressed?
What is little known though, is that across every continent and every epoch this same forbidden technique appears under different names: Ba-flight in Egypt, pneuma-ekstasis in Greece, shen-you in ancient China, atman-yatra in India, Merkabah ascent in Jewish mysticism, soul journey among Siberian and Amazonian shamans. The ancients not only believed that the soul could leave the body, they actually practised it, mapped its pathways, and treated it as the ultimate proof that death is not the end but only a change of address from one realm to another.
And here is the part most readers never expect: stay with me until the final section of this article, because I am going to give you the exact, step-by-step method, that allows an ordinary person in the twenty-first century to consciously leave the body at will. No drugs. No decades of monastic training. No secret society required. Yes it requires an effort for most of us, only because of our lifestyle, but nothing more than that.
