The Multidimensional Human

Book excerpt: BACK IN PRINT: SECOND EDITION. DO YOU KNOW WHICH BODY YOU'RE IN? Many spiritual traditions, from yoga and Buddhism to contemporary theosophy, teach that we are multidimensional humans. We exist simultaneously on several planes and in several bodies. These bodies range from the familiar physical body to the astral body experienced in dreams and out-of-body states, as well as higher energy bodies that access realms and states of consciousness beyond our wildest dreams. In The Multidimensional Human, consciousness researcher and intuitive consultant Kurt Leland reveals the secret of how to master these energy bodies: we must develop our inner senses. Based on a close study of theosophy, the Seth Material (as channeled by Jane Roberts), and his own clairvoyant investigations, Leland explains that there are twenty inner senses. They come in four categories: existential (those that help us know and understand ourselves), environmental (those that help us perceive nonphysical environments), kinesthetic (those that help us move within and between nonphysical realms), and relational (those that allow us to interact with nonphysical beings). He also provides thirty-two practices for developing our inner senses. These practices are extremely simple. They can be done in ordinary waking consciousness by anyone--beginner to advanced--who has an interest in psychic development, out-of-body experiences, lucid dreams, astral projection, and other adventures in consciousness. By mastering these inner senses, we learn how to use our energy bodies to experience the bliss of higher states of consciousness, explore the astral plane and beyond, meet nonphysical Teachers and Guides, and work for the spiritual benefit of humanity. We achieve our birthright as multidimensional humans. "A seasoned traveler in the realms of alternate reality gives useful and practical advice for anyone who wants to follow his example. One of very few books on astral travel that is worth reading. Follow him if you dare." Richard Smoley, author of The Dice Game of Shiva: How Consciousness Creates the Universe
