Master Samael Aun Weor teaches us about the importance of learning to leave the physical body consciously, so that each person can experience the realities of higher worlds firsthand.
By doing this, we not only expand our understanding of the universe, but also gain access to a deep and transformative state of learning.
The physical body is compared to a temporary house, where we reside for a time, but we should not imprison ourselves within it. By learning to leave the physical body at will, we can enter regions beyond the material reality. This allows us to explore spiritual worlds, communicate with loved ones who have passed away, and even interact with higher beings such as angels.
Often, when we leave the physical body, we can invoke those who have crossed the threshold of death, allowing us to converse with them personally. This contrasts with the practices of black magicians who summon spirits to make them visible and tangible in the physical world. True wisdom lies in visiting the spiritual realms where these entities reside, learning about their state.
Outside the physical body, it is also possible to recall and relive past existences. Master Samael reveals that by freeing ourselves from this dense form, we can vividly experience past lives and explore the lessons they bring. The process of detaching from the physical body is simple and can be done consciously.
A key moment for realizing this conscious exit is the transition between wakefulness and sleep. During this interval, our consciousness is in a state of flux, which makes it possible, with the right focus, to leave the physical body and access other dimensions. The master shares an illustrative example: once, when staying in a fully booked hotel, he observed a traveler who, despite no bed being available, made do with the floor and, while sleeping, his essence detached from his physical body.
Just like that traveler, we all, unconsciously, go through this process of separation from the dense body during sleep. However, the master emphasizes that with the power of will, we can consciously perform this transition, experiencing the spiritual world.
Many may ask: "How can you know what exists in the beyond? Have you been to the other world and returned to tell us what you saw?" The master's response is clear: anyone has the potential to leave the physical body, travel to the beyond, and return to share what they discovered. Fear is the main obstacle, and once we overcome this barrier, conscious travel becomes an accessible experience for all.
To practice this, the most opportune moment is the state of drowsiness, when the body is almost asleep, but the consciousness is still alert. During this state, the master suggests we imagine ourselves as subtle, fluid souls, no longer identified with the physical body. The key is to act, without overthinking, as the traveler in the story did, who didn’t ponder about leaving the body but simply did it.
The master encourages us to do the same. Once feeling light, fluid, and detached, the next step is to rise from the bed with the sense that we are no longer the body, but the soul. The practice requires determination, attention, and willpower. Those who dedicate themselves seriously to this process are capable of exploring the mysteries of the beyond, conversing with divine beings, and receiving valuable spiritual teachings.
The physical world offers many distractions, and the temptation to stay rooted in comfort and laziness is strong. However, willpower is the determining factor. If a person truly commits to leaving the physical body, they will succeed, as long as they follow the guidelines provided with discipline.
By learning to travel consciously through higher worlds, we can connect with gods, receive divine instructions, and experience profound spiritual growth. Outside the physical body, we can directly experience the mysteries of life, death, and eternity, broadening our vision of reality and existence.
In summary, Master Samael Aun Weor teaches us that everyone has the potential to leave the physical body at will, access other dimensions, and explore the mysteries of the universe. Learning and practicing this ability provides profound spiritual growth and a clearer understanding of the higher worlds.
