Greetings,

My name is François Lépine. I am a Buddhist Bishop, and knowledgeable in oritental esoteric systems. I will post a few articles here about training ESP, proven to have success with my students worldwide. I believe this wisdom has to be shared.

All articles are excerpts from "Develop ESP and Supernatural Abilities"
ISBN 978-0-9809415-5-5, www.developsupernaturalabilities.com

Introduction

Although everyone may start practicing the techniques found in this book, the ESP training will be more efficient for those who have at least 100 non-linear hours of experience with meditation. However, the training will still work if the student practices meditation along the way, even if it is for the first time. For this purpose, we will have a short chapter on meditation. So that everyone is comfortable with this training, we will suggest a few meditative techniques of various spiritual traditions. We encourage the reader to be open-minded to all spiritual paths, while engaging in his preferred tradition.

Any type of technical training can take up to two years, in just about any field of application (cooking, building, machinery operator…). It is the same for ESP. Although most people will show small scale results right from the beginning, it can take up to two years of daily practice to get efficient results. Most people will step quickly thru the techniques, as fast as possible, hoping to develop ESP quicker. This haste will be their downfall, since the body, the mind and the consciousness will not have time to entrain. I encourage everyone to practice long enough each technique before moving on to the other. Along your training, you are also encouraged to have meditation periods, where you are not entraining yourself to ESP. These meditations are essential breaks you must give to your mind. Failure to meditate will result in longer training requirements before any sign of success shows up.

Some people find the recitation of mantras (like magic formulas) to be inefficient, or meditation to be a waste of time. When asked how long they recited the mantra, they answer with a few minutes, 1 hour to the most. When asked how long they meditated, they reply that they could not endure past the first 20 minutes. It takes serious devotion and discipline to do this training, but once done, it is extremely powerful and works wonders. The mind and the body will react to this training. Sometimes positively, sometimes apparently negatively, while the structures of your consciousness change and adopt new tools to interact with the universe at every level.

Later on, we will learn how to produce an experience of peace in someone else, to regenerate the body, to see at a distance by placing your point of view anywhere you wish, and much more. This is only possible if every step of the training is done properly, with a mala in hand (explained later), with the good number of recitation of each mantra implicated in the training of such supernatural power. If it was so easy to develop supernatural abilities, we would see mages and vampires roaming around the streets at night. Only those with dedication to their training will succeed.

Of course, there are many other ways to develop supernatural abilities or extra-sensory perception, but this method is proven to work with those who have the patience and do each step with determination. The attitude also has a great influence on the training. The more positive you think about your training, the faster the effects will come. Someone who was lucky enough to experience a supernatural phenomena will find it easier during his training, since his mind won’t fight all along the way, doubting in the possibilities. While those who did not yet experience their first “weird” sensation, or random telepathic communication, will have to keep a constant focus on obtaining success. The mind has a great deal to play in the success of this training.

Not only must we keep a positive and determined attitude, we must also train our mind into becoming clear like calm water. Thus, we start the training by clearing the mind. For this, we will use a technique called “japa” that consists in chanting or reciting a “mantras” using a bead necklace to count the exact number of repetitions. The bead necklace is called a “mala”.

The human system is not only made of flesh and bones. We are also made of emotions, thoughts, and pure thought, that I like to call “Consciousness”. This consciousness is not only the fact that I am aware of what is going on. Consciousness also refers to a relationship with all the planes of existence: physical, vital, emotional, mental, causal, soul, spirit.

The human identity, also called the “ego”, is made up of:
- Physical / Animal body
- Vital / Energy body
- Astral / Emotional body
- Mental / Mind body

The higher identity, that I call the “Self” is your:
- Causal / Consciousness body
- Soul
- Spirit

The ego and the Self are not separated. But we attribute the four first parts of our identity to the “ego” because the body, energies, emotions and thoughts are affected by the natural laws and the animal instincts. While the Self, which is consciousness, soul and Spirit, is free from the influence of the animal instinct; it is our true origin.

Let us start right away with one of the tools that we will use to entrain our human nature (ego) to collaborate with our spiritual nature (Self).

Charging a Mantra

Before we can get to the next step, it will be important to learn how to clear the mind, and how to charge a mantra. It is essential to develop the habit to clear the mind before attempting any ESP experience. The human ego tends to send images to the diaphane (explained later), using our imagination. We have to learn how to reduce these interferences, but also to see thru them, in order to perceive the subtle nature of spiritual perception.

It is believed that this ESP training can be hard on your mind. In fact, it is your mind that will be hard on your training. We need to go beyond the limits where you mind will cooperate with the techniques. When we don’t think for a while, the mind becomes agitated and wants attention. Lots of attention. It then does all it can to disturb your training, and make you lose your focus. The first technique aims at going beyond this mental limit, and training your mind into stillness.

The technique that we suggest to clear the mind is to do mantra recitation, while using a mala; a technique called japa, in Sanskrit. Although we suggest the use of a mala (Hindu or Buddhist prayer necklace), it is not an absolute requirement. Only, the use of a mala will make the training more efficient, and will also transform your mala into a “power item” while you train. You can find a 108 or 109 bead mala in most oriental stores. A Hindu mala has 109 beads, made out of rudraksha (plant) beads, and a Buddhist mala has 108 beads, made out of wood or stone. Using a mala to count your recitations will also be helpful in creating a power item that will help in clearing your mind each time you will wear it around your neck.

Hold the mala in your right hand and count with your thumb or major finger. Do not touch your mala with the index while reciting the mantra, because it would decharge the mala. The process would work within you, and the training would not be in vain at all, but you would not be creating a power item at the same time. This also means that if your mala ever breaks (hope not!) you don’t lose all the mantra processes you have done, but you simply lose your power item. Store your mala in a place you consider private, or even better, a place you consider to be sacred. While it would not be dramatic, no one else than your self should touch your mala, to prevent the weakening of your power item.

In case you do not have a mala, we will also provide the recommended time of recitation. The more you recite the mantras, the more effect they have in your mind.

Sanskrit mantra to clear the mind:
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti

Means: Divine Peace Peace Peace

Visualization: everything starts as light blue, fades softly, and eventually, no more visualization at all.

The mantra alone will have a soothing effect to calm your mind, but will not be as efficient until you “connect” to the consciousness it represents. When you first learn this technique, you should use the mantra intensively enough to break the mental limits of non-thought. You must recite the peace mantra for 9 malas or 45 minutes, each day for twelve straight days. We call this “connecting” the mantra. When you practice this technique intensively, you charge your soul with the energy and consciousness invoked by the mantra. Failure to do the 12 days in a row or to recite the appropriate number of malas will result in poor connection and less efficient effects for the remainder of the entire training. If you have difficulties being constant, here is the time to practice. If you miss one day, start the entire process from scratch. For your practice to count, you have to do your process once per 24 hour period, before the sun rises. (I remember coming back from a class, at 2:00 AM, and sitting down to make my japa of the day. I kept falling asleep, so I did it walking around in my meditation room to prevent myself from falling asleep.)

Chanting a mala means you chant 108 mantras. We do not count the 109th bead in the Hindu mala, that is used only once at the beginning to make a prayer, depending on your faith. It could be a prayer to your higher-self asking for more efficient ESP. Chanting 9 malas in a row (972 mantras) for twelve days in a row (11664 mantras) will make the mantra extremely efficient when afterwards you wish to use it for only a few minutes. Chant the mantras while visualizing everything as a clear blue sky. If thoughts come by, let them be softly, and try to pay attention only to the mantra and the clear blue light. It is possible that images NOT originating from your mind will come, but don’t pay attention to those either; not yet. When you do japa (recite mantra using your mala) we must pay attention to the philosophical concept that the mantra represents. You may rock your body gently while charging your mantra.

Once you have connected to this mantra’s consciousness, if your mind is going crazy or is too filled with thoughts, recite one mala, or 5 minutes of this mantra, while clearing your mind. It is recommended to do one mala of the mantra of peace before each one of your other training practices, except the techniques where you fall asleep.

Meditation

Unlike what we see in commercial meditation, true meditation has to be done in silence, physically and in the mind. Sit, breathe a few times, and calm your mind. When your mind is agitated, chant the mantra of peace a few times. When your mind is getting calm, clear out everything and stay in a state of clarity, simply aware that you are aware. We call this state of mind “self-awareness”.

Once you get your attention on being aware, even if a few mental ripples come along, place your attention on yourself, as a soul, not a body. Feel your soul, feel what you are inside, pay attention to your consciousness, your spirit. This part of meditation is simply unexplainable. Just do it. Try to be what you are, without effort. Simply pay attention to what you feel you are, whether you know or not what you are. You are the Self, so be the inner supreme consciousness of the Self.

when your mind takes too much place, go back to chanting the mantra of peace silently, a few times. Then, go back to being the inner Self. This is the source of your real power. Practice this meditation of the Self everyday for 2 to 5 minutes.

This technique is so simple that we tend to complicate it. We seek what to feel. We wonder if we are doing it correctly. We doubt, we wonder off, we imagine things. This technique is so simple, just do it. Sit, relax, pay attention on nothing, as yourself, with no definition. Don’t think of what you are. Don’t let thoughts about yourself whirl around in your mind. Don’t think. Just be. If you don’t know who or what you are, then you are close to the goal.

When you meditate, or when you are doing your japa processes, it is possible that you “transcend”. It might look like if you lost consciousness, or went to sleep, but in fact, it is your consciousness that is awakening, and at first, this shuts down the human self for short periods. This is the goal of every technique of transcendental meditation. In a transcendent state of consciousness, you are fully free of your human limitations. You are cleansing your soul, expanding, refilling with light and pure thought.

If you start to snore, or if your body becomes so loose that it can’t hold itself up anymore, then you went to sleep. This is not too bad, but it is not the goal of meditation. While seated, if your body can still stand on its own with only your head bowing forward, then you are transcending. If you transcended for too long, your head leaning in front for a while, your neck will be soar and you have to carefully help your head back up with your hands, so that you do not develop neck aches.

The goal of meditation is to empower your Self so much that your spiritual consciousness overrides your human identity for a short moment. When this happens for 200-300 times, after years of practice, a time will come when you will transcend, but remain conscious of what is going on even in a state of expanded consciousness. When you return to your normal state of consciousness, you will also retain from partial to full memory of what happened to you during your transcendental experience.

The reason why our human self passes out is that the level of energy and information at the spiritual level of True Self is so intense that the human cannot withstand it. When we come back from a transcendental state, we know that something happened. Sometimes we feel refreshed, filled with new energy, but other times, we remain dizzy for a moment. Once you come back from this higher state of consciousness, you remain in a state of empowerment and you should only pay attention to good and positive thoughts for at least 20 minutes. Before you become a true adept at meditation, become an adept at controlling your thoughts. You don’t want to manifest bad things, and you do want to encourage the manifestation of good events. It is encouraged to repeat yourself a nice positive thought when you are back from meditation. Repeat mentally a phrase that will encourage your training (My consciousness expands, my mind is pure) or that will promote your general wellbeing (My life is simple, and I am happy).

You should practice meditation at least 5 minutes everyday, before of after any other type of spiritual training. On a weekly basis, you should have a meditation period of more then 20 minutes, until you get to the Siddhi path, at the end of this training.

Awaking the Diaphane

The imagination is not just the place of conscious dreaming. The imagination is an organ of the mind able to emit thought-forms and perceive them. Imagination is a multi-dimensional membrane in the mind (like in 3D, but with more dimensions that we can’t yet figure out). Membranes are usually 2 dimensional, so use your imagination to grasp what a 3D membrane would be. If you are thinking of a drape floating in the air, you are not dimentionalizing enough. Think about it as an organ with screen-like properties. We will refer to this organ as the “diaphane”. Once you become aware of the “diaphane membrane”, or the mind-organ of thought-form communication, then we can go on to the next step of the training. A side-effect of this training will be the possibility for having visions. Why train to have visions when you can train in awakening the core of the super-conscious mind that will result in having visions… and much more?!

First step: adding functionality. We already have the ability to emit and perceive, thru our diaphane. We simply let it go to sleep, often by saying “it’s just my imagination” or “I had a waked dream”, when actual thoughts were actively transmitted or perceived.

Preparation: take a few minutes of paying attention to a relaxed breathing. Breathe softly, and pay attention to it. Clear your mind as much as you can, but let the random thoughts be as they wish; they are coming out. This is a positive mind cleansing process.

Part 1: In your mind, define and isolate a simple thought that will act like a radio tuner. For this purpose, use the thought of a spiritual symbol. Pick any simple symbol of your choice. If you have no idea, use a Christian cross, a Hindu swastika, or the outline of a Buddha. Actively think the thought, and “imagine” your mind radiating the thought form in every direction. (I did not say BRAIN, but MIND. You entire nervous system, and a bit beyond, must emit). Do not emit with effort, but with relaxed willpower. This means that you must want it a lot, to emit with willpower, but keeping your body relaxed. Emit the symbol of your choice in a light manner, with the color of your choice. This will send the thought form in the universe. You will be making a call.

Part 2: After 2 minutes of emitting, shut your mind and internally listen, feel, look (eyes closed), forget about everything and pay attention to the mind-organ diaphane, not to your physical senses. When thoughts come, let them be, but don’t care about them. Putting effort in trying not to think will prevent you from going on. You thoughts need to come out like crazy at first, until your mind naturally becomes free. With time, or with luck, your mind will settle down. Pay attention and perceive the information / wisdom / knowledge / experience that could come back to you. Someone/something might actually answer your phone call, because it is in the nature of your Spirit to answer willingly.

Alternate between emitting and perceiving, spending an average of 2 minutes per period at first. Then, shorten the emitting and perceiving periods. When you become an adept at this, you will be simultaneously emitting and perceiving. After a 10 to 30 minute period of practice, meditate like you usually do. You might have clear results after one week, or one month of daily practice, but the out-of-focus results should be experienced right from the first few days. Yet, if you have no result after the first five minutes of practice, please don’t ask yourself what went wrong. Practice and practice again.

It is acceptable to proceed to the next step of the training before you get any efficient results with the diaphane, but in this case, don’t be too hard on yourself if the results take time to show up. The entire ESP training takes time and dedication.

The Body and the Soul

In this next step, we must learn how to pay attention properly. We will do so by awakening our inner awareness of our body, operating two trainings at once.

Our attention usually wavers from one subject to another, rocked by the wind of our thoughts, without our conscious intervention. Even while we watch a movie, we think that we are paying attention to the same thing for two hours in a row, while in fact, the movie is continuously sending in new scenes and sounds, to keep our attention flowing with the story. Or else, we would not even be able to concentrate on the movie. We are unacquainted to pay attention to the same thing for more than a few seconds. If there is not change, if there doesn’t seem to be movement, sounds or variations, our mind will try to pay attention to something else, hoping to be stimulated.

On another note (even a completely different subject), we are not used to know exactly where we exist. We assume that we exist in our body, but we are not really aware of that fact. We take it for granted and our ability to exist in our body fades away. Some people are not even in their body. We could see them hovering here and there, around their bodies, or partially in contact with it.

During this exercise, we will simultaneously practice ourselves at paying attention, and consciously existing in our body. Hence, we will pay attention to our body. You will have to do this exercise sometimes while sitting on a chair, lying down, or sitting in meditation, cross-legged. The environment, as usual, must be peaceful; not even music. We don’t want your mind to be distracted during this exercise. It would only make you believe that you are paying attention, while, in fact, you are constantly entertained by the music. If a sense of panic settles in, it means you are on the right track. At first, the mind will be unsettled at focusing consciously at a single thing without other distractions. Again, let your polluting thoughts go free while your mind is cleaning up, and pay attention to the exercise.

Sometimes, by reflex of conditioning, we approach a technique thinking that we are a body, and that we have a mind, and a soul. It is the other way around. We are a soul, and we have a mind and a body. It is a question of self-identification. While we endure the program in our cells that tells us we are the body, we will never be able to look at the world from another point of view than from our physical eyes. In order to become aware of your body, you must also entrain yourself in remembering that you are not the body, and that you are paying attention to it, like to an exterior object, even though you are within it, as a soul. For a moment, there might seem to be a duality of opinions while your mind changes its point of view. You must remain aware of this unsettling feeling, without pushing it away.

Step 1: Feel your body. Become aware of your body. Make contact with your body using your mind. Awaken to every physical sensation of the body. Be at peace. Relax and keep paying attention. It is like a closed-eye meditation on the physical body. After you feel you have a good connection with your physical body, start repeating yourself “I am not the body, I am the Soul”, over and over again, in a very calm manner. Keep paying attention. Do this technique many times, for periods of 10 to 30 minutes. It is totally acceptable for you to transcend, pass out or fall asleep. Gently but certainly, repeat to yourself “I am not the body, I am the Soul,… I am not the body, I am the Soul,…”. Technically, the body is a part of the soul. Yet, when you say to yourself “the body is a part of the soul, thus, I am the body”, you are still identifying yourself to the limited physical envelope of the soul. We wish to destroy this belief, and we do so by saying “I am not the body, I am the Soul”. Hence, your body is a part of you, but it is not entirely you. You are a Soul.

Step 2: When you succeed in feeling your body like if you were living into it, do the same technique as in step 1, but without the phrase. Simply keep your attention on your body, knowing you are something greater, but don’t use words. Try to identify the un-worded pure thought of this abstract concept. When we use words, pure thought becomes human thought. We want to become aware of the difference between human and pure thought; to grasp concepts without the words that describe them. You may want to use the phrase “I am not the body, I am the Soul” a few times at the start of the practice, then elevate the attention to the pure un-worded thought. During that same time, you are also paying attention to your body.

Once you grasp the concept of this practice. Use the Sanskrit mantra that means “I am not the body, I am the soul”. The mantra is: Ma Dehane Me Atma Om. This mantra is charged with a mala during the Atma Yoga process, which is not the scope of this book. Thus, practice this mantra when going to bed, or when doing a lying down meditation.

This might seem to be difficult when you read the technique, but it becomes clear after a few hours of non-linear practice. After a while, you might feel yourself as a living being inside your body. It might trigger a soothing emotional response from your sensitive body. You might have stuff projected on your minds diaphane. Accept the presence of these other events, but keep your attention to the main purpose of being the soul in the body, without human thoughts.

The answer to most of your questions is: practice makes perfect. Most questions persist because the experience of altered consciousness did not happen yet. Thus, practice, and give yourself time.

Practicing this technique will: have you re-enter your body if you were out, have you become aware of your soul, have you become aware of your human thoughts and spiritual thoughts, practice your concentration on a simple unmoving concept while your mind cleanses out. This technique is actually very healthy for your body and your mind.

Stay fixed as much as you can on the base thought, feeling and concept “I am not the body, I am the Soul”. But while you use your will to stay focused, you must also relax and passively pay attention, without implicating yourself against the disturbances of the mind.

Extra-sensory perception means that perception is occurring beyond the senses. This also means that it is not your body perceiving, but something else of a more subtle nature. The only way to develop these special abilities is to awaken the spiritual bodies, starting by awakening your Self at the level of the Soul.

You may proceed to the next step of the training whenever you feel like it. Be gentle with yourself. You will have results with practice. You will have to go over each step of the training many times before you get tangible results in each of these exercises.

It is recommended to fall asleep each night while saying to yourself “I am not the body, I am the Soul”, or the equivalent Sanskrit mantra. The effect of this training will also work at night, during your sleep. Falling asleep while focusing on your Self as the Soul will also have great benefits while you sleep. For some people, this is where they have their first conscious experience of the diaphane when they wake up. But for this to happen they also trained during the day, when awake.

Expanding Consciousness

Meditate on the Self for 2 minutes. Then, imagine your Self having about the shape of your body, and try to feel your spiritual Self inside your body, in a higher vibration level, a higher energy field. You can feel something like a presence in your body.

Once you feel the energy, or the feeling of your Self, start to expand. If you can’t yet feel your Self yet, use your imagination. It is not only your energy that expands, but your Self, which is what you are. Imagine your spiritual body becoming bigger than your physical body. Expand your consciousness a few feet beyond your physical body. Then, remain in this state of expansion for a few minutes.

We are used to look at the world from behind our physical eyes. So much, that when our eyes are closed, we believe we can’t see anymore. This is an illusion made from the objective and Cartesian mind. Once you have expanded your consciousness, place your point of view anywhere close to your body, but not from behind your eyes, like you are used to. Look at the surroundings using your consciousness, from various points of views. Go slowly about it. Use your imagination, but let your diaphane also reveal what it sees.

Expand your consciousness, expand your spiritual body, and displace your point of view. Do this for a few minutes each day, until you become efficient at it. Most people want to go too fast, to look in another room, and travel. Do NOT do this yet. When you go too fast and too far, your mind will makeup for the missing information. If you notice that what you saw was imagined and not really perceived with consciousness, you will program your mind that “it doesn’t really work”, and we don’t want to produce this kind of negative thoughts. You first have to train yourself at expanding your consciousness, and building the links between your spiritual Self (not limited by your physical body), and your other mental functions, like memory and perception.

Keep on practicing until your develop an awareness of your sensitive body. The diaphane is a part of this sensitive body. Techniques that allows you to move your point of view anywhere you wish will be available in the Siddhi chaper, near the end of the book. You need to be prepared in order to be efficient with the Siddhi path, and develop more powerful supernatural abilities.

Transmigrating Consciousness, Level 1

We spend most of our life experiencing the world from a single point of view: our head. With some experience on expanding your consciousness all around you, we will now learn how to concentrate the focal point of consciousness.

Sit in front of a bottle or glass of water. Take it and drink a bit of water and pay attention to the energy sensation of the water. If you think you can’t feel the energy, then pay attention to its taste, its texture. Return the water in front of you. Do one mala of the mantra of peace.

Now, clear your mind and become your spiritual Self for a minute. Then, open your eyes and focus on the bottle or glass of water. Imagine that you are this water. Don’t pay attention to your body anymore, even though you might still have perception of your body senses. Simply pay attention on becoming the water. Take its shape, its texture, and know that you are this water, inside the bottle or glass. Once the contact is made with the eyes focusing, close your eyes and transmigrate your consciousness into the water. Become the water, in your mind, your imagination, and if you allready can, as consciousness, as Self.

Migrating would imply moving your consciousness from your body into the water. Transmigrating is simply being there already. You don’t have to move from yourself, but simply lose the focus of your human body, and awaken to existing as the water. Your eyes helped to make the focus, to connect to the reality of the water, and then, with eyes closed, your consciousness becomes the water. It is not only displacing your point of view, but becoming the water itself. Imagine it, and feel it.

Once you are the water, chant the mantra of peace in your mind. Your mind is not in your physical body’s head, but wherever is your consciousness. Exist as the water for 1-2 minutes, and vibrate the mantra of peace softly. Of course, this requires that you have previously charged yourself with the mantra of peace (connected the mantra of peace with 11664 recitation, 9 malas a day for 12 days).

Then, open your eyes and look at the water. Note the strange feeling of being in your human body, and being the water, at the same time. Take the water and drink it. Pay attention to the feeling of the water that comes into your body. It is like drinking what you are.

Repeat everyday for a few days. This is an efficient way to bless water, and then bless your body with the conscious state of peace. This contributes to a healthy body.

You must NOT transmigrate into someone’s body, unless this person is aware of the situation. It is useful for a healer to tap into the sickness to heal it from inside. It is useful for an ESP adept to become an object, but it does not mean you will already be capable of reading the energies of an object. Transmigrate into water for a while. It is required to awaken the ability to tune into something else than your body.
