Bardon Step 9 Spirit/Soul
After Bardon gives his PSA on various clairvoyance practices and problems which could arise he then educates the initiate on the practice of clairvoyance. Again I highly recommend as supplemental reading Ramsey Duke’s book here and even “The Art of Seeing” By Nathaniel. The idea is simple yet effective, it is also in line with Bardon’s teachings if you give it a soft focus.
True astral projection is taught here. Another Bardon commentator Rawn Clark has in my opinion said everything there needs to be said on the subject so there is no real point going on about it here. Let me just say what Bardon describes in one part, about losing the fear of death is quite true. This totally changes the way you see yourself and others. Nothing you read or hear quite nails it like existing outside of your physical form and experiencing this plane of existence. Once it is done, you really do not have anything to fear because you know what awaits you now, and it is wonderful. Also, that is just the introduction to this world in which you could spend a lifetime or several exploring. Some do.
Towards the end, and rightfully so, Bardon describes the work on the four fundamental attributes of divinity. These should have been meditated on and thought over since the theory section so no surprises here. Very important work and THE actual point of all the prior training, also why one does not need to spend years training on how to make a fireball physical. The fireball is not the point. Becoming an avatar for the divine is the point. If this is not your goal then IIH is not for you. That is not a bad thing, it just was not designed for anything else! You are building the needed skills and abilities to become one with the divine. Here you finally get to the last leg of the program in doing so. After the concentration, the imagination training, the harmony, the building up and handling of potent magical forces so you don’t blow your mental or astral bodies out of wack you are finally nearing the beginning of the end. The four fundamental attributes are to be taken one by one until you have the ideal down and then since this is in the astral section the energetic experience of each.
