Astral projection has fascinated mystics, yogis, and spiritual explorers for thousands of years, and in recent times a growing number of teachers on YouTube have begun sharing their personal methods for inducing the experience consciously. One of the clearer voices in that space is Abbey Harries, who has projected hundreds of times through meditation and has put together a refreshingly grounded walkthrough of her process. What sets her approach apart is the emphasis on breathwork that charges the light body and the willingness to demystify some of the scarier folklore around the practice. This article distils her method and goes a step further by offering a structured tutorial on the spinal breathing technique she uses to prepare the body for separation.

The first piece in this series looked at the ethical concerns traditional spiritual frameworks raise about eating sprouts. The Jain position, the Law of One perspective, the stavara jivas teaching, all of these treat the seed and its sprouting as a continuous arc of plant consciousness that we interrupt when we eat. The question that lingers after reading those traditions is whether the model they assume is actually correct. Are sprouts really beings with souls already attached, or is something more interesting happening?

Ask yourself a brutally honest question. Do you actually enjoy the things you have to do in order to lucid dream? Not the dreams themselves, those are obviously wonderful. The actual practice. The journal. The reality checks. The constant nudging of your awareness throughout the day. If you stripped away the imagined payoff and just looked at the daily activity, would you still want to do it?

There is a moment in Carlos Castaneda's Journey to Ixtlan that stops many readers cold. Don Juan, the Yaqui sorcerer and teacher, instructs his apprentice to turn to his left shoulder before making any significant decision, because that is where death waits. Not as a threat. Not as a punishment. But as the most honest counselor a human being will ever have.

When most viewers finish watching Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (도깨비), they remember the love story. The 939-year-old immortal goblin and the bright-eyed high school girl who can see the sword buried in his chest. The melancholy Grim Reaper and the chicken shop owner with a soul too old for her face. The buckwheat fields, the maple leaves, the doors that open onto other worlds.

Most people scroll past it without a second thought. An animated film on YouTube, subtitled and quietly uploaded, carrying one of the most complete accounts of cosmic reality ever assembled in a single narrative. The Laws of the Sun, the animated presentation from Happy Science, does something that thousands of years of organised religion has failed to do: it offers a structured, timeline-based account of why we are here, where we came from, and what this moment in history actually means.
