   More On Rope   
      
   ROPE is a very effective projection technique, but it still has to be   
   learned to be effective. I would like to elaborate on a couple of points   
   about the technique, inspired by the feedback I have received so far.   
      
      1. There is NO visualisation required - AT ALL - in the ROPE technique.   
   It is ALL tactile imaging. This means you do NOT have to picture yourself   
   doing it.   
      
         That is, to climb ROPE, the correct mental action is to REHEARSE the   
   climbing action in your mind.   
      
         * This mental rehearsal - IS - the ROPE technique *   
      
      2. You need to *mentally* grit your teeth and strain with the action,   
   i.e., you have to put maximum mental effort into it, as if you were really   
   climbing a ROPE, but without allowing your muscles to take part in it -   
   this is ALL mental. Your body must not be allowed to respond. You also need   
   to feel you are very strong, full of energy and could climb like this all   
   night.   
      
      3. You will find that a certain way of holding the focus of your mind,   
   while you climb, will exert more pressure on your astral body than another.   
   It is VERY important you note what this is and learn how to apply it. This   
   will tune your climbing action for the maximum effect. When you hit on the   
   right mental focus for the action, you will feel a corresponding   
   dizzy/falling sensation in your Solar Plexus.   
      
      4. To use ROPE successfully, it is extremely important to make a firm   
   decision to DO IT. This commitment is VERY important to success. A DO OR   
   DIE effort is needed. This focuses all your mental energy into a single   
   point, for a single purpose - to exit your body.   
      
      5. Many people have emailed me with ROPE success stories. In every case   
   - they have been practising ROPE when they suddenly decided to give it a go   
   - TO REALLY DO IT! This commitment to succeed means the difference between   
   actually getting out - OOBE - and experiencing various levels of ROPE   
   induced relaxation, trance, paralysis, chakra activity etc. I cannot stress   
   enough the importance of this commitment to the success of ROPE induced   
   OOBE.   
      
      6. While using ROPE, completely IGNORE ALL PHYSICAL SENSATION AND ANY   
   NOISES YOU HEAR. If you react to a sensation, in any way, you will lose the   
   focus of your mental energy and dilute your effort considerably.   
      
   All the energy/chakra work and other exercises in Parts 3 and 4, are   
   designed to stimulate the flow of energy in your body and increase   
   concentration, will power and mental control. By increasing the energy flow   
   during a projection and controlling your mind better, your duration in real   
   time is increased. It is also easier to exit.   
      
   You CAN skip all the exercises entirely and just concentrate on learning   
   ROPE. Everyone has different levels of skill, natural ability and energy   
   flow. Some people need lots of training in order to OOBE, others do not.   
   Some people will prefer to learn ROPE by DOING it, rather than training for   
   it. If your goal is just to have a conscious OOBE, of any kind, the simple   
   use of ROPE, below, is your best option.   
      
   Simple Use Of Rope   
      
   Some people have the impression ROPE is too complicated. This was possibly   
   because by the detailed explanation I gave about the mechanics of ROPE in   
   Part 5, i.e., HOW it works.   
      
   ROPE is THE simplest projection technique to date. All that is needed to   
   use ROPE in its simplest form, are these two steps:   
      
      1. Go to bed, or sit in your chair, relax and settle yourself down, as   
   you normally would do before going to sleep.   
      
      2. Start climbing the ROPE.   
      
   * This is all there is to the simple use of ROPE *   
      
   As there are no time consuming exercises or complicated relaxation   
   exercises involved, the simple use of ROPE has many advantages. It allows   
   you to focus all your mental resources on it. In many cases this is all   
   that is needed to give you your first conscious OOBE.   
      
   Because the simple use of ROPE is less complex, you will find yourself   
   attempting projection more often, even when you are tired one of the best   
   times to try - and cannot be bothered with anything complicated. The   
   increased frequency of your projection attempts gives you more practise   
   with ROPE and hence the technique will be mastered sooner.   
      
   Lucid Dream Backup   
      
   I have had a great many reports of vivid dreams and heightened lucid dream   
   activity (L.D.) from people doing the energy/chakra training exercises.   
   This is happening far too frequently for it to be coincidence.   
      
   The energy/chakra work increases the level of energy flowing into the   
   energy body and heightens awareness and memory of the dream and OOBE state.   
   It is a shame to waste all this energy on uncontrolled dreams, so I suggest   
   L.D. be used as a secondary goal. This will give you OOBE experience   
   earlier, in the form of L.D., and help keep your interest high until you   
   learn how to do the conscious exit.   
      
   Lucid Dreaming   
      
   To become Lucid in dream you need to program yourself with a trigger to   
   make you realise when you are dreaming, in order to take control over it,   
   i.e., become lucid. The best way of doing this is by getting into the habit   
   of doing frequent reality checks during your daily life.   
      
   Reality Checking   
      
   A reality check is when you stop what you are doing and check the reality   
   level of your situation. This is simple to do. Every time you do a reality   
   check. Ask yourself:   
      
      1. Is this a normal situation, is there anything strange about it?   
      2. Can I fly? Try floating up in the air.   
      3. Try closing your eyes. This is a dead giveaway as you cannot close   
   your eyes in astral form.   
      
   Note: This reality checking must become habitual to be effective.   
      
   When you do a reality check during a dream, you will realise you are   
   dreaming and can take control of it. It is then important to affirm to   
   yourself you are going to remember everything. Tell yourself over and over,   
   " I will remember this when I wake up."   
      
   L.D. Trigger   
      
   The key to success with reality checks is to have a good trigger for it.   
   This should be something you would normally do many times a day. This can   
   be any kind of habitual action, but here are a few ideas:   
      
      1. Time: Every time you look at your watch, do a reality check. An
