From Astral to Mental Projection; from Mental Projection to the Monad — YouTube from the CEC Library

I think that when we talk about monads and other things that are not usually discussed, it becomes difficult for people to understand. Initially, we have only the physical body, nothing else. Everything we do is with this body; we do nothing beyond it. Some people who become spiritualists may have other ideas and know that the spirit exists.

It is obvious that if you can leave your body and do some things spiritually, it will be wonderful to be conscious of this. If you are not conscious, you will work in the spiritual world without knowing what you did. I think we have to make an effort to understand spirituality better, to understand how far we can evolve and better understand all the things that exist around us.

If you live only in the physical body, you will only understand the physical body. If you practice spirituality with the intention of knowing more about it, you will probably evolve and become a better consciousness. I think we have to make an effort to achieve overall growth. When I say overall growth, I do not mean only that you will learn about physical things.

You have to learn about the spiritual side as well, because our origin, from my point of view, is spiritual. You have a physical body and a spiritual body, which we can call the astral body. Then you have another spiritual body, which we can call the mental body. There are several bodies between the physical body and the astral body, but we will not be able to know where they are or how they work. There are also other bodies between the astral body and the mental body.

This is what I have learned and what I think, because I do not think it is possible to project in the astral body with full consciousness. This is how I see it, and it may be absolutely wrong: when we project in the astral body, what we will understand in life depends on the level we are at. Otherwise, you go out, understand the bare minimum, and when you return to the physical body, you distort it. You will not describe exactly what you saw or be able to understand things about the spiritual body. This will also happen with the mental body. If you project in the astral body and achieve a good level of consciousness, you will be able to project in the mental body. But in the mental body, you will have the same difficulty you have in the astral body. You cannot reach the highest level of consciousness for several reasons. One of them is that we really cannot be fully present in the mental body.

This is the beginning of our life: being able to project in the astral body. However, I already believe that most people who project in the astral body do so in a very simple way. They have a very vague recollection, mixed with various aspects of who they are and with jumbled thoughts as well. They cannot go out, see things, and bring them back in full to the physical body, which I think is essential.

That would be a major step. I kept working to improve at astral projection. I have said this once, twice, three times—I do not know how many times—but when you reach 98% consciousness in the astral body, I think you have reached a good level. If you go beyond that, you will lose your consciousness; you will disincarnate. I do not think that is good.

So, being able to reach 2% consciousness is excellent for me. Excuse me, not 2% consciousness: 98% consciousness, and with 2%, I remained in the astral body. If you reach 98% consciousness in the astral body, you will certainly be able to bring that back to the physical body when you return, because you will have a very good store of information, and your recollection will also be wonderful.

You will already want to move ahead and say, "If I can project in the astral body with this level of consciousness that I have, perhaps I can reach the mental body." That would be a wonderful step for you. If you project in the mental body, you will be able to do things on a completely different scale. You will not be able to understand what I am saying because it is not very easy. When we project in the mental body, we already have a much greater capacity for observation and understanding than we have in the physical body and also in the astral body.

I think that if we can reach the mental body with a very good level of consciousness, you will have to ask the monads to allow you to make contact with them. This is not so simple. It is not so simple, because this is how I see it: you have an astral projection, and your level of consciousness is extremely low. You cannot go out and say, "My goodness, I am already seeing things." No. If you have an astral projection, you will have to remain conscious for quite a long time.

You cannot go out and say, "Now I am an astral projector." That is not how it works. To be astral projectors, we need to go out and have the ability to do so every day. That is what I am saying: every day. I do not think it is very easy to achieve, but if you work at it, you will succeed. Another detail is how long you can stay outside the body, because some people have a projection lasting one minute or two minutes and already think they are having an extraordinary projection. An astral projection works like this: if you leave your body and, for example, manage to spend an entire day outside it, when you return to the physical body, you may have been out for only one minute.

The relationship with time is very different. The reverse is also true. If you have a projection and, physically, think you were out for a long time, you may actually have been out of the body for one second, two seconds, or three seconds. We need to understand and study the relationship with time to realize that things do not work the way we are used to here on Earth. We cannot live this way.

That would be the second point I think it is important to understand. Another idea is that in astral projection, you can travel throughout the entire universe and perhaps throughout the universes, but you will not have the full capacity to see everything. You will only have the capacity to see everything if you project in the mental body. Your level of consciousness increases greatly. I think we can increase our capacity to see on the astral plane by a maximum of 5,000 times; this is only an idea, and I may be wrong about it as well. If you project in the mental body, you will be able to increase your capacity to see things by 40,000 to 100,000 times.

I think that is already a considerable advance, and you will be at a level where you can probably make a journey to understand how the monads work. The monads are fantastic, and we need to understand them to know how to act as we grow spiritually. There are other details: you reach the crown chakra, then the second crown chakra, then the third crown chakra. You can go all the way to the seventh crown chakra without seeing everything you need to see in the universes.

It is obvious that there are more chakras and a much greater capacity to move forward and discover more things. If you reach the crown chakra and want to see a monad, I do not think it is that easy. You will have to go to the second, then the third, then the fourth crown chakra. This is what I think, and I may be mistaken. But when you reach the third or fourth crown chakra, you already have a very different view of life. This view will lead you to love everything that exists, everything. If you reach the crown chakra, you already begin to like everyone. There is no such thing as getting angry with someone or wanting to hit someone. That will not happen.

You will accept the things that exist—the plants, the insects, all of this—much more calmly. I think we have to work to grow and evolve, but we need to know that this is not so simple to achieve; it is not easy. It is something we need to work on with a great deal of determination, trying to have astral projections every day. If you do not try every day, you really will not succeed. You have to do it every day. You have to choose a time and, at that time, work on having astral projections and discovering fantastic things. To have mental projections, you will need to have had astral projections of very good quality.

You will already be living out a different story. We cannot live life fully if we cannot do this. We have to be able to do it. Let us suppose you have already managed to project in the mental body. If you have reached a very good level of projection in the mental body, you will make a request to the monads, and it has to be a direct conversation with them. You will not see them when you make the request, but you will say, "I ask you to allow me to see you or to see the monad with which I have a relationship."

You will have to do something along those lines. If you succeed, you will already begin to have a very different view of your life. I think this is wonderful and extremely important. But to get to that point, you must already have traveled through many universes. There is no point in saying, "Oh, but I already know this universe." No, no one knows the universe.

We know very little of it. If you manage to get to know the entire globe we live on, traveling everywhere, you will come into contact with forces and energies that are completely different from what we know. If you do this, you will already be in a highly evolved state, and you will have come into contact with consciousnesses that are completely different from ours. I think this is important for us.
