Two years ago now, I started a major

change of policy in the diffusion of

Phosphenism. After realizing that I

would not find anyone to help me

with the difficult task of diffusing

Phosphenism throughout the world, and after

lengthy contacts with Dr LEFEBURE, I decided to

appoint my successor, my heir : Internet.

And during a short and formal ceremony, I

enthroned Internet as the diffuser of

Phosphenism =:)

At the end of the day, who else but Internet can

take on the heavy burden of WORLDWIDE

diffusion ?

So, for the last two years, all my actions have

been centered around this reflection : what if I

was not here anymore ! In what state am I

going to leave the magisterial works of Dr

LEFEBURE for the future generations ? Life is a

great wheel that keeps on turning. One day we

are 14 years old, then very quickly we turn 16,

18, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50... 60, 70... andthen one day, bang ! We are not here any

more !

What will be left of us afterwards...? NOTHING !

Absolutely nothing, once our close relatives are

gone, apart from a few rare individuals who will

come down to posterity.

But, what must remain and last is the works of

Dr LEFEBURE, as I promised myself years ago.

For children, time passes slowly. But the more

one grows older, the more time seems to fly

past, up to a such a point that it seems that we

have accomplished next to nothing for a wholeyear...

As I feel that time is accelerating for me, for the

last two years I have spent all my energy

making the whole of the works of Dr LEFEBURE

available on the Internet, mainly in the form of

books in PDF format for download, audio

courses in MP3 format and courses on video in

DivX format.

Also, I compiled in the PHOSPHENIC ENERGY

UNIVERSE collection all the texts that I found

interesting.

PRACTICAL ADVICEON PHOSPHENIC MIXING APPLIED TO EDUCATION

DOING A PHOSPHENE

Phosphenes are the patches of color that can be

perceived after having focused on a source of light. As

an experiment, a phosphene can be obtained by

focusing on a white opalescent (the filament cannot be

seen) light bulb, at a distance of 1.50 to 2 meters for a

duration of approximatively thirty seconds.

The effects on eyesight are very beneficial if the norms

are respected. These norms have been established by

Dr LEFEBURE after experimenting for 40 years with

thousands of subjects. (Check "Phosphenic Mixing

Applied to Education")

It is possible to use the sun but, in this case, focusing

should not last for more than 2 seconds. It is essential

to thoroughly read and follow Dr LEFEBURE's guidelines

if you want to practice with the sun. Focusing longer

does not improve the quality of the phosphene. When

light hits the eye, it triggers chemical and electrical

reactions in the brain, increasing considerably mental

and cerebral abilities as a whole. The practice of the

basic exercise of Phosphenic Mixing, i.e. mingling a

thought with the phosphene, is enough to obtain

results.

IMPROVING ATTENTION WITH THE PHOSPHENES

a) When a child is asked to do a dictation of words, hedoes it carefully at first, and his handwriting is regular.

But, after a short period of time, the words start to go

up and down like a wave and the child starts to be

restless : he is not attentive any more. To improve his

attention, ask him to do a phosphene and to observe its

colors for three minutes, the duration of a phosphene.

Then, resume the dictation. Straight away, his writing

will be steadier and his attention will be increased. This

means that the energy of light has balanced his nervous

system, improving motricity amongst other things.

b) When you want to reflect on a subject, you can find

it difficult to keep the same theme in mind : the thought

vanishes, parasitic ideas pester you ; the ideas you are

seeking do not appear and you get tired !

Why ? Is it because you are lacking concentration ? No !

Observing the phosphene shows that the brain

functions in a rhythmic manner. Try the following

experiment : focus on a white light bulb, and then

switch the light off. In the dark, you will perceive a

sequence of beautiful colors : yellow-green ; pink ;

purple ; dark blue ; black.

Certain cells of the eye, the cones, allow us to perceive

colors. If the cones functioned simultaneously, we

would perceive a white phosphene after focusing on a

source of light. We actually perceive a sequence of

colors because the cells of the eye function

alternatively. The phosphene, made of a regular

sequence of colors is a reflection of how the brain

operates.

The phosphenes amplify the rhythms of the brain.

Thinking, reflecting or working during the presence of

the phosphene, densifies thoughts. They become

clearer, more precise. The effort of concentration

becomes less important, attention is considerably

increased.

DEVELOPING MEMORYChoose a vague or very old memory. Think about it

while focusing on the lamp for thirty seconds. Then,

after switching the lamp off, keep thinking about it

during the presence of the phosphene.

Let the memory develop spontaneously. Do not try to

direct it. You will notice that your memory has a greater

intensity, that its details come back in an extremely

precise manner and that other memories suddenly

appear, sometimes long forgotten ones. The phosphene

has a particularily powerful action on memory. That is

why children remember their lessons better when they

have studied them with the phosphenes.

PHOSPHENIc TECHNIQUES

LEARNING A LESSON WITH THE PHOSPHENES

The simplest example of learning with Phosphenic

Mixing is a child studying a map of geography with the

phosphenes. He can start by studying the map as usual

in his book. He should then close the book and switch

the lamp on, focus on it for thirty seconds, switch it off,

and then try and remember all the details of the map

successively once the phosphene has appeared.

Usually, nothing particular happens during the practice

of mixing a thought with the phosphene.

It is only later that the child will notice that the thought

that has been associated with the phosphene is now

denser, unusually solid and imprinted much deeper in

his memory.

IIMPROVING THE UNDERSTANDING OF A TEXT

The reflection of light on a page produces a continuous

phosphene and that will greatly help assimilating the

text. The phosphene also has an action on

understanding.

The meaning of the words is clearer. The main ideas are

perceived better as well as the secondary and

transitional ideas. The meaning of the text as a whole

is understood better. The organization of the text is also

assimilated better and it is easier to find the various

elements that compose it.

Students, if they study their lessons every day with the

phosphenes, will, day after day, notice that they learn

faster and remember better. Grades and marks will

quickly improve and the teachers will be struck by the

rate of progress of the results.

DEVELOPING CREATIVITY AND QUICK THINKING

You have an assignement to do, a project to develop, a

letter to write, but no ideas come to your mind. Be

efficient with the phosphenes.

Prepare a pen and a piece of paper. Do a phosphene

and, while you are focusing on the lamp, keep the

theme, the idea you want to develop in your mind. After

switching the lamp off, this idea will warp and will soon

be replaced by other ones. Accept what appears in your

consciousness, even if, at first, the ideas that appear

are already known to you, whether you have thought or

heard them before. There is always a short latency time

before the energy can be felt. Nevertheless, write down

your ideas and keep on observing freely the ideas that

appear. It is important to write them down, otherwise

you will not remember them. Do another phosphene

every 5 minutes or so, i.e. 2 to 3 phosphenes every 15

minutes. You will notice that ideas become more and

more numerous and that they flow more and more

intensely.

Try this for 15 minutes and compare the number of

ideas, their quality, their logic and their organization to

what you usually experience. You can also compare

your handwriting by observing the beginning and the

end of your notes.

There is often a substancial difference : writing

becomes more fluid, more spontaneous. This generally

corresponds to a moment when many thoughts came to

your mind without effort.

THE EFFECTS OF PHOSPHENISMON EYESIGHT

IMPROVING EYESIGHT

The process of focusing on a white opalescent 75

watts light bulb at a distance of one or two meters for

thirty seconds, switching the lamp off and remaining in

the dark, does not harm the eyes.

This method is actually very

beneficial for eyesight. An example

is this person who had to be

operated because his iris and

cristalline lens were stuck together.

Strong light followed by complete

darkness exercises the iris (light

makes it contract itself). In that

person's case, it cured the adhesion

and surgery was not necessary any

more.

Retinal purple is destroyed by

strong lights and reforms itself

during darkness. This chemical

exercise increases capillar circulation. This is why

there is always a certain degree of improvement of

eyesight after the first few weeks of practice of

Phosphenism (if you practice for at least 15 minutes in

the morning and in the evening). The modification of the

sharpness of sight due to the rejuvination of the retina

often gives the impression that a myopia has improved,even though it is difficult to prove a modification of the

curve of the transparent liquids of the eye.

Dr LEFEBURE was a living proof of the beneficial effect

of Phosphenism on eyesight. Physiologicaly,

presbyopia starts roughly at the age of 50 ; it is

complete by 60. The minimum reading distance for a

healthy young man is 30 centimeters. Dr LEFEBURE

demonstrated that he could read any type of characters

at a distance of 10 centimeters. He could also read at an

arms length until the age of 72. Thus, Phosphenism has

not only prevented his eyes from ageing, but it seems

to have rejuvinated them.

In the case of a glaucoma, i.e. the hypertension of the

liquids of the eye, one must naturally be careful. The

glaucoma is usually due to the impairement of the

resorbtion of the aqueous humor by the ciliary

processes, some kinds of vasculary packets situated

on the back of the iris. Nevertheless, the strong

exercising of this organ provoked by

alternations of light and dark, helps

strengthening the ciliary processes

and thus helps resorbtion. Indeed;

in the case of glaucoma, physicians

prescribe drops that trigger a

contraction of the iris ; strong light

produces the same effects in our

experiments, though for a shorter

period of time. Strong light thus acts

in a similar way as classic

therapies.

This explains why, even with this

affliction, the practice of

Phosphenism is beneficial. Nevertheless, any therapy

can have the opposite effect of the one expected,

particularily if it is an active therapy.

It is important to start progressively as only two or

three surges of glaucoma can crush the retina.

In the case of a possibility of a detachment of theretina, the treatment usually consists in heating it in

order to increase blood flow and the vitality of the

underlying tissues that stick it to the choroid. In this

case, phosphenic mixing shows a similar action as

above.

In the first few sessions of Phosphenic training, the

conjunctiva can become congested during focusing. A

slight sus-orbital headache can also persist after the

session due to an unusual increase in the meningeal

blood flow. This reaction is very rare and after three or

four days it will disappear, once the vaso-motricity

reflexes have adapted themselves to the practice.

For the first time in 1966, we had the idea of

experimenting with mixing thoughts and the

phosphenes. Quickly, we noticed some curious

effects, followed by very beneficial ones. We then tried

to develop a method of education with precise modes of

application for each of the subjects studied at school.

Generally, straight after the first sessions, the children

notice that their work yields more results ; the

improvement of grades usually take place within a

month. Certain children catch up with the other children

in their class within a few weeks in a spectacular

manner. Along with the increased work output, the

children's character is also improved, permitting better

discipline. An increase in intellectual curiosity and in

initiative can also be noted.

Applying this technique is not tiring, on the contrary.

Children feel more rested thanks to the extra energy

that brings a sensation of well-being. Moreover, it does

not waste the children's time as it is just a new way to

revise and do homework.

The principle of this method is very simple, and can be

resumed easily : first, what is a phosphene ? "A

subjective sensation of light" is the definition that can

be found in the dictionnary. There are several

categories of phosphenes.For the purpose of education, we only use the kind of

phosphenes that we have called "Post-phosphenes", or

phosphenes consecutive to lighting. We do not use the

phosphenes produced by other methods : compression

of the eyes, hallucinogenic substances, electrical

excitations...

To observe the phosphene, find a white opalescent light

bulb of 60 to 75 watts. Place it at a distance of two

meters and focus on it for approximately thirty seconds.

Switch the light off and remain in the dark. A full

darkness condition can be obtained by wearing an

eyepatch. For the next three minutes, you will see a

succession of colors. It usually starts with a beautiful

shining green hue (it is sometimes yellow during the

first few tries), circled by a red edge. The limits

between the colors vary abruptly ; sometimes the

phosphene disappears completely for a few seconds.

The red tint grows and, after a minute and a half, the

phosphene is entierely red. After three minutes, its

center has turned dark blue or black and it is

surrounded by a pale, grey cloud, three or four times

larger than the center. The cloud is a lot more stable

than the bright colors and its edges are irregular. We

gave the name "diffuse glow" to this cloud that appears

at the end of the phosphene.

"Phosphenic Mixing" consists in mingling a thought with

the phosphene. For example, a child who wants to

learn a map of geography can start by studying it as

usual. The only difference with the usual way of

working is that the child should focus on the lamp for

thirty seconds before reciting the lesson. It is during the

presence of the "Post-phosphene" that the child should

revise the map in his mind's eye, one detail at a time

first, then the whole map. Memorization is triggered by

the coincidence of the phosphene and the mental

image.

Experimenting proves that thoughts are charged with

energy by the phosphene. Nothing special happensduring the experiment, it is only later that the mental

image will come back, clearer and sharper and it will be

imprinted better in memory.

Moreover, the mixing of a thought with the phosphene

strengthens certain cerebral connections. After

exercising for half an hour, twice a day, during a month,

certain effects will persist between the sessions :

primarily an improvement of attention, a most important

consequence. In the beginning, we experimented

without telling the subjects about the effects we had

already noticed, and after a month, we asked them to

relate to us what they had noticed. The most frequent

7/32

Page 7

answer we got was "an improvement of attention, not

only during the experiments, but also between the

sessions improving work and all the activities of life".

There are different applications for all the various

subjects of study.

For a history lesson, it is not necessary to place all the

images of a chapter one after the other in the

phosphene. The important facts and names are enough.

Mixing thoughts with the phosphenes produces an

energy that can be compared to the energy created by

a chemical reaction. This energy helps the partial and

then the global assimilation of the lesson.

In order to increase the number of ideas necessary for

writing or doing essays, we advise on the practice of

"Streaming Mixing" : the theme of the assignement has

to be condensed and symbolized as an image. This

image is then mixed with the phosphene in order to

increase the phenomenon of association. New ideas will

appear. The clearest of these new ideas has to be

symbolized as an image and this image has to be again

mixed with the phosphene, and so on with each new

idea. You will notice that the flow of ideas increases

after each new mixing. General ideas that connect theprevious ideas together will then appear. The

assignement will not only be richer, but also of better

quality.

For studying mathematics, the best process is slightly

different. It was discovered by children. The child

should repeat the assumptions and the conclusion of

the question as he normally does when he wants to

answer a question but, this time, while focusing on the

lamp. Then, during the post-phosphene, he should keep

his mind at rest. During that time, a subconscious

assimilation of the data of the question happens. The

child usually finds the solution easily, with the pleasant

sensation that is specific of phosphenic phenomena.

Naturally, this sensation is subjective, but there is a

domain where the results of Phosphenism are

immediately objective : it is the domain of mild speech

disorders. Many children who speak fluently with their

friends, stutter as soon as they recite a piece of poetry

in front of a teacher or even in front of their parents. If

this recitation is done during the presence of the

phosphene, their voice becomes stronger straight

away, the delivery becomes faster, and the

pronunciation is improved.

Phosphenic Mixing can also help for the study of foreign

languages : an english teacher has observed that when

a student listens to a recording in that language during

the presence of the phosphene, he aquires the accent

better. Listening during the presence of the phosphene

actually improves attention for any school subject.

Certain retarded children benefit even more from

Phosphenism than normal children. Children afflicted by

mental inferiority hold on to Phosphenism as if it was a

lifesaver, as they are conscious of the positive effects.

Other children suffer of a lack of development due to a

momentary block provoked by growth. Surprising

awakenings are observed and a child that was very

weak in mathematics can quickly catch up with the

average level. Of course, in the case of a profound,

hereditary or acquired defect, these effects cannot be

obtained.

Another variation can be applied to solve spelling

problems. The child should be asked to write the word

in the dark, during the presence of the phosphene. It is

actually not that difficult. This way, both the muscular

and the motivity memories are exercised. They have a

very important role, it is thanks to them that one can

type without looking at the keyboard. We also have

tried to read a text through the phosphene, in a dim

light. A brighter light was switched on regularily torefresh the memory of the text. When this technique

was applied, the text seemed to persist in the dark, to

the point that it was possible to keep reading, or more

accurately, to keep revising. A periodic display of slides

representing algrebra formulas, would trigger the same

cerebral mechanism.

For juvenile delinquents, an improvement of intelligence

and of the character can be noted, but relapses are not

entierely eliminated. More research is needed in this

domain.

We have succesfully realized many experiences, but

our wish is that you realize your own.

A UNIVERSALPRINCIPLE

Phosphenic phenomena

always tend to expand

like the universe. This

might be why characters like

AKHENATEN, (AMENOPHIS IV,

14th century B.C.) or the

emperor JULIAN (331-363) have

tried to impose the worship of

the sun instead of the twisted

religions of the time, which true

meaning had been hidden by

power-hungry priests.

AKHENATEN realised the

profound implications of the

religion of the city of

HELIOPOLIS (the City of the

Sun), of which the main tradition

consisted in focusing on the

sun while praying (focusing

does not need to last more than

a second). The emperor JULIAN

had been initiated by the

Mysteries of Eleusis.

The initiation consisted in

focusing on a torch then, in the dark, in imagining an ear

of wheat. This emperor was, amongst other things, the

author of the motto "Soli Invicto" (To the Unvanquished

Sun).

We could quote many other examples. Let us just say

that the basis of all religions is praying while focusing

on a source of light. It was the case of the MAYAS, the

EGYPTIANS, the ARYAS, the ZOROASTRIANS, the

CELTS, the ROMANS, the GREEKS, the CHINESE, the

POLYNESIANS, the JAPANESE whose solar worship is

still practiced: SHINTOISM ; etc...

Let us not forget that SHAMANISM is the foundation of

religion and that its essential power comes from fire. If

we go back to the origins of mankind, did we not learn

that Man became Man by taming fire ? Some people

say that Men worshipped powers like fire, the Moon,

the Sun, lightning or the stars,

only because these elements

scared them and that they did

not understand them. It is totally

incorrect ! Often, in the above

mentioned cultures, the roles of

"protector", "friend of mankind",

"dispenser of earthly goods",

"creator of the arts", etc, are

connected to deities of light.

The time has come for our

modern society to realise that

the worships of fire, the Moon,

the Sun or even the stars are not

to be taken symbolicaly, but for

what they really are : praying

while focusing on a source of

light.

Through this brief historical

reminder, we wanted to make

the reader aware of a reality that

is hidden only because it is

interpreted as a symbol by our

view of the world. Once this is understood, it will be

easier to explain the principles of PHOSPHENISM.

PHOSPHENIC TECHNIQUESTo produce a phosphene, you need to focus on a 75

watts white opalescent light bulb for 20 seconds, at a

distance of 2 meters. After switching the lamp off, you

will perceive a patch of changing colors in the dark : the

phosphene.

The phosphene is an emanation of subtle energy that

will enable the brain to work in a different and much

more efficient way than usual. Nevertheless,

phosphenes do not develop anything on their own.

In order to channel the energy of the phosphene, you

need to mix a thought with the phosphene. This thought



9/32

Page 9

can be visual : for example, you can imagine an object

or a person during the presence of the phosphene (3minutes) ; or auditory, i.e. a mental repetion of a

phrase, a word or a mantra (the Ancients used prayer).

THIS EXERCISE IS CALLED PHOSPHENIC MIXING.

Practicing this simple exercise regularily produces fast

and excellent results. It is possible to use this

technique for educational purposes (it is recommended

for children), as the energy of the phosphene

strengthens and densifies thoughts and thus develops

memory in a surprising manner. For the applications of

the phosphenes at school, check Doctor LEFEBURE's

book : "PHOSPHENIC MIXING APPLIED TO EDUCATION".

Education is an example of the

use of phosphenes in everydaylife, but it is not necessary to

be a student to practice

PHOSPHENIC MIXING. This

exercise can be practiced by

everyone, from the children to

the elderly. The results are

always very beneficial. But, it

is also possible to go even

further with the practice and to

obtain interesting results.

To obtain these results, you

only need to induce a rhythm in

your thoughts. One of the most


10/32

Page 10

important rhythms is the rhythm of 2 seconds. This

rhythm can be easily induced by following the beat of a

metronome set on 60, (one beat every second). In a soft

and relaxed manner, and without exaggeration, try to

sway your head sideways, following the beat of the

metronome (one second to the right, one second to the

left). While swaying, you should repeat a phrase, a word

or a mantra in your mind and, if you can, you should

imagine an object that is swaying laterally too : for

example the pendulum of a clock, a flower swaying in

the wind, or any other object that comes to your mind.

Another variation is vertical swaying : the movement

should still be soft and without effort, the chin can come

down close to the sternum, but avoid moving your head

too far back, as the cervical arteries, passing through

small holes in the last cervical vertebras, would be

crushed and blood flow to the brain would be impaired.

A 45 angle from the vertical axis is perfectly

acceptable for this swaying. The importance of

swayings is considerable for several reasons :

1) The brain soaks in a nourishing liquid called the

cephalo-rachidian liquid. Thanks to the swayings, this

liquid can reach and nourish the whole of the brain,

maintaining and revitalizing the different

layers of neurons as well as all the

brain cells. This liquid also

dissolves toxins.

After explaining the swaying

exercises and their effects,

many people understand

why they had a much better

memory when they were

children : they used to

spend hours swaying while

daydreaming. If they were

lucky enough to have parents

that did not stop them, theycould, thanks to this elementary

hygene, awaken certain abilities like

memory, attention, concentration, to the

amazement of the people around them.

These cases are actually very frequent. Generally,

children lose the habit of swaying when they grow up

and their uncanny memory is toned down, though

certain of their capacities still remain above average.

One of the effects of swayings is the maintenance of

mental abilities.

2) Rhythm : the repetition of the same thought induces

a rhythm in this thought, i.e. the thought acquires a

movement (and movement is energy). With this work,

mental energies are put into motion in a way that

allows very subtle forms of perception. The meaning of

the phrase that is repeated does not matter. Mantras

are "mind sounds" (the root of the word mantra meaning

sound-thought), and using them will yield identical if not

more important results than a meaningful sentence. It is

the rhythm that is essential for this exercise.

3) The telepathic transmissibility of rhythmic thoughts :

the phosphene, associated to rhythmic thinking is

extremely transmissible by telepathy.

By the word telepathy, we do not mean transmission of

thoughts. Phosphenic telepathy is the transmission of

rhythms from one person to another.

Rhythms, when they are induced in another person,

can put certain spiritual centers in motion, giving

access to certain phenomena and other planes of

consciousness. This is the true meaning of initiation :

creating rhythms to awaken subtle energies in others.

After awakening these energies by using phosphenic

telepathy, it will be necessary to maintain and develop

them. If they are not put to use they can revert to a

dormant state.

Everyone intuitively knows that these

abilities are natural functions of the

brain, and that they should be part

of everyday life. People are more

or less sensitive to the

existence of other planes but

all feel deep within

themselves the possibility

of a connection with a

higher universe.

Children are those who feel

this the most ; and most of

them suffer from being

disconnected from this broaderconsciouness. In so-called

primitive or inferior societies, children

are not left outside of the spiritual world, on

the contrary.

Around the age of 15, an initiation that will put the child

in contact with the spiritual world and its phenomena

takes place. Anthropologists call that period the tribal

age. Because of the children's receptivity, this is the

best period for receiving initiation. Children very often

experience dreams of flying. These dreams are

characteristic of out of body experiences. When they

receive the initiation, children enter the spiritual world

fully, a world which they were very close to before.


11/32

Page 11

The word initiation comes from the latin initium,

meaning beginning, start. Initiation is thus far from the

idea that we may have of it. In our systems, we do

realise that the period preceeding puberty is a difficult

time for children. It is a transitional period when

children discover themselves, and this discovery takes

them beyond anything they had imagined. Children feel

that they have possibilities and abilities that the adults

around them prevent from expressing. They are cut off

from a world which presence is obvious to them. Youths

then search for a palliative to this spiritual castration

and, hoping to find their world again, often turn to a

means that our societies provide : drugs.Some of the sensations produced by drugs are the

same as the ones that can be experienced in spiritual

out of body experiences, the only difference being that

spiritual out of body experiences develop the individual

when drugs destroy the individual. The drug addicts,

trapped in the illusory world of drugs, do not even

realise that they are being destroyed. It is certain that if

a genuine knowledge was given to children at the right

age, they would develop in a more harmonious manner

and they would face life with solid values, rather than

flee and destroy themselves. Something many young

people do, often left alone by resigning parents who

ignore the true nature of the world.

As we just said, dreams of flying, falling or jumping are

characteristic of astral out of body experiences.

Everyone has, at some point in their life, experienced

these dreams of flying ; consequently, everyone has

experienced out of body experiences. Sadly, the notion

of astral travelling has been abused so much that it is

now scary, even though people do not know what it

actually is.

Reading is not enough to understand this phenomenon.

It is a shame that most of the authors that write about

astral travelling have no idea what it really is : they

copy something that has already been written by

someone else and they do not have any experimentalknowledge (certain schools give lectures about various

phenomena, but if you ask their representatives if they

have actually experienced the phenomena they are

talking about, they answer than "mankind has not

evolved enough for us to have access to the higher

planes of consciouness". They thus talk about

something they do not know...). Other authors take their

dreams for realities. What they have experienced is

conscious dreaming, i.e. they have been conscious

during a dream. But, being conscious during a dream is

not astral travelling.

These conscious dreaming phenomena occur in the

lower astral plane : colors are rich, dense and one often


12/32

Page 12

has the feeling of soaking in the colors. One of the

particularities of the lower astral is that one can create

any image one desires : if one wishes to walk on a

beach, one merely needs to think about this beach to

appear there. If one wants to ride a bicycle, thinking

about that action is enough to create an image of it. The

lower astral plane is a plane where we have the

possibility to create our own images and our own

dreams. It is also possible to change the dream we are

experiencing, if we do not like it.

Many authors thus do not go beyond the lower astral ;

consequently, what they perceive is the result of their

own emanations. If they explain in their books that

monstrous entities, demons, dragons and other horrors

must be fought in the astral plane, they only show to

everyone the poor quality of their

thoughts. Generally, these authors

make their greatest mistake when

they state that their dream is the

astral plane and that one will

encounter the same things as they

did if one goes there by the process

of an out of body experience.

One of the advantages of the

phosphenic techniques is that they

purify thoughts and feelings. This

purification is genuine and there is

no risk of encountering any

annoyance. The whole of the

individual will tend towards higher

thoughts and ideas as he or she will

try to develop his/her personality and to get rid of any

addiction or dependance.

An independent inner search and personal

development, that is an idea that we are not really used

to. Until now, supranormal abilities and the powerful

possibilities of the mind seemed impossible to reach or

only through a laborious, lifelong teaching and with the

condition that a MASTER, a GURU or an INITIATE wouldaccept the candidate as a servant... Until now, we have

thought that approaching spirituality and awakening our

dormant potential was only possible through other

languages, rejecting our own culture and

misunderstanding exotic ones in the name of

TRADITION.

So much has been said and written about TRADITION

that the concept has become vague and imperceptible,

containing everything and contained by everything.

TRADITION is now an argument, a pretext, allowing

those who "teach" it any kind of abuse and aberration.

Under the name of TRADITION, the west has seen

various "teachings" coming from Asia or India and twist

after twist western people have started to want to eat

like the Indians, bow like the Japanese or even recite

silly phrases in order to place themselves in a

traditional atmosphere. By respect for TRADITION,

people end up impressed by faces that do not inspire

Wisdom or Serenity, terrorised by inaccessible initiates

or ready to play the role of slave.

Etymologicaly, TRADITION means transmission.

Obviously tradition is not folklore. Many writers refer to

ancient texts and find meanings in them that the original

authors certainly did not intend. Academic

interpretations of views of the world that are so different

from ours almost forbid translations, as much of the

original meaning is lost. Texts should

be read in their original version, as

ancient texts have been translated

by scholars who do not know

anything about initiation. Certain

branches of theosophy have done a

lot of harm to Humankind because of

their lack of profound knowledge.

It is a good thing to be curious, but

one has to be curious all the way

and take nothing for granted.

Personal experience is the only way

to understand spirituality. This is a

completely scientific process.

Science is not limited to

mathematics or physics and it

cannot limit the limitless. Defining

borders, limits to science is totally absurd. Science

does not have limits.

Science only exists because Mankind is discovering its

own universe. It is human beings that make

discoveries, not science. It is human beings that make

science. Science does not exist by itself. Through time,

Humanity learns to think differently. First handexperience is the only process that allows individuals

to understand themselves beyond appearances and

forms. Experience can shed light on concepts and

notions that reason or Academism cannot assimilate.

Many possibilities are offered to us for investigation and

research and they are open to everyone.

By developing PHOSPHENISM and by placing it within

the reach of young people (to whom it can bring a

precious help), we believe that we are planting a seed

which will allow the next generations to understand and

judge things in a new way, parting with the past and

opening new horizons.

PHOSPHENICTELEPATHY

The study of phosphenes

sheds light on how thoughts

function. It helps us

understand that a thought is an

energy. When this energy is put in

motion, cerebral abilities are

improved and fast and unexpected

results can be obtained in the

domain of the development of

supranormal abilities of perception.

These abilities will quickly become

part of our everyday lives as they

are very easy to produce with the

phosphenic techniques.

Our society usually views telepathy

like a show. The difficulties

telepaths have to obtain

unquestionable results do not

permit any practical applications.

Telepathy is thus considered as a

freak phenomenon and it is only

studied in fringe parapsychological

centers. The huge body of work that

professor RHINE has accumulated

over the years has never convinced

anyone that was not ready to be

convinced, though it would beinteresting to check what part the

phosphenes had to play in the

verified cases of telepathy he

recorded.

Indeed, a subject of the experiment

could have unconsciously focused

on a source of light, for example

while sitting on the toilet during a

short break, and could have come

back to the laboratory with a

phosphene, momentarily allowing

the obsevation of telepathic results.

It would be a lot more interesting to

start all the experiments again,

using phosphenes systematically

as amplifiers of thoughts. Thus, we

will know for once and for all if

telepathy truly exists.

The definition of phosphenic or

initiatory telepathy is completely

different. When an individual has

developed rhythmic thoughts,

mainly by practicing swayings, they

are easy to transmit to others. This

transmission is a telepathic

phenomenon and is only the

threshold of a vast field of

discoveries and experiments.

People usually do not think that

telepathy can be that simple.

Feeling a wide range of possibilities

within oneself is a revelation that

makes a lifelong impression on the

individual. By accepting this new

consciousness, the individual can

delve into rich inner experiences

that nevertheless bear fruits in

everyday life.

Feeling inner possibilities is one

thing, realizing them is better. The

phosphenic techniques do not

belong to the domain of theory. They

can be applied instantly and enable

the individuals to realize themselves

according to their true goals. These

techniques are varied enough to let

everyone find what they need and to

develop what they are tending

towards. This is an essential part of

phosphenic practice.

INDUCING RHYTHMIC THINKING

Inducing rhythmic thinking in others

will provoke a motion of thoughts

that will not necessarily correspond

to the motion that was sent. The

perception of this movement can

happen in different ways : it can be

through images (for example the

image of going down a sky slope,

going up in hot air balloon, the

image of a pendulum, etc),

synesthesian sensations (the

sensation of being on a boat, etc) or

through both types of perceptions

simultaneously combined. There

are no general rule, everyone

perceives things in an individual

way.

Induced rhythmic thinking will have

a profound action and will help

unlocking certain abilities. This is

why persons with a very high

spiritual level can, with this kind of

techniques, trigger elevated spiritual

phenomena in others. This is the

true meaning of initiation : putting in

motion energies that will help theindividuals realising themselves

and expressing what they tend

towards. Again, this is not a theory.

PRACTICE

This exercise can be done standing

up or sitting. If it is done sitting, it is

important, in the beginning, not to

lean against the chair so that the

sensations will not be blocked. The

transmitter can sit behind the

receiver or can face the receiver or

they can also sit side by side. If the



14/32

Page 14

transmitter can see the receiver, he or she can project

the phosphene directly on him/her. If they are sitting

side by side, the transmitter should visualize a

miniature image of the receiver in the phosphene.

The transmitter does a phosphene (both can do a

phosphene). The receiver closes his/her eyes and

should try to stay aware of the sensations and images

that appear. The transmitter should then induce a

rhythmic thought, it can be a dot of light called the point

of concentration, animated with a rhythmic motion. That

motion can be a horizontal, vertical, circular or even

pulsating movement as well as any variations of these

movements to vary the experiments.

On the physical level, it is better to match the swayings

with the rhythm of the visualization. Afterwards, with

training, all that will be needed are very small swayings

of the head, in order to roll the brain in the cephalo-rachidian liquid. Sometimes, the receiver will

unconsciously sway his/her head slightly.

The transmission of a rhythmic thought should last for

the duration of a phosphene (3 minutes); the transmitter

should then ask the receiver what images or

sensations have been perceived : it is always

interesting to know. Then, another phosphene is done

and the visualization of a movement of the point of

concentration is continued. The regularity of the rhythm

of the point of concentration is essential. The best

rhythm for developing supranormal perception abilities

is the rhythm of two seconds.

Swaying at a rhythm of 2 seconds : one

second to the left, one second to the

right. For a rotating thought : one or two

seconds for each rotation (check The

Yoga of 2 secondsby Dr Lefebure).

APPLICATIONS

After these basic experiments, it will be

easy to find direct applications of this

technique, mainly to help opening

certain subtle centers.

Again, the point of concentration should

be visualized, pulsating on a subtle

centre or chakra, at a rhythm of one

second, a third of a second or a sixth of

a second. These rhythms correspond to

the rhythms of the human body and to

the rhythms of natural elements.

The most interesting subtle centers are

located on the top of the head, between

the eyes, on the throat, on the solar plexus and on the

heart plexus.

BE CAREFUL

We do not state that this practice will open the subtle

centers. All we are stating that it will help opening

these centers, with the condition that an important and

necessary personal work is done.

The induction of rhythmic thoughts gives a push to the

subtle energies, but if these energies are not

maintained, their movement ceases and they return to

a dormant state.

There are other modes of application of this technique,

for example for soothing a person who is suffering. The

technique will not make the source of the pain

disappear but will bring an increase of vitality,

something that is always useful. In that case, the

visualization should consist in a swaying or a pulsationof the point of concentration.

The phosphene has certain calorific properties. If it is

projected on a wound or a bruise while visualizing a

pulsating point of concentration, the clotting process

will happen much faster. It is not necessary to ask

someone else, as this technique can be applied to

oneself. Similarily, though we are moving away from

phosphenic telepathy, to make a small pain disappear,

one only needs to try to feel a pulsation where the pain

is. This shows the importance of the rhythms of

pulsation in the human body and the energies that they

generate.


15/32

Page 15

THE EFFECTS OF PHOSPHENIC TELEPATHY

Inducing rhythmic thinking in another person will end up

putting this person's double in motion (sensation of a

light, swaying breath of wind), this will be a preparation

for out of body experiences. This preparation will

manifest itself in dreams : dreams of flying, jumping or

falling being characteristic. All that is needed then, is to

practice the techniques that lead to out of body

experiences to produce the desired result.

The person that receives the induction of rhythmic

thoughts will feel a great inner calm. This sensation can

be described by the image of being "well-centered".

Feelings are transformed and life takes on another

dimension. When this is felt, one has an idea of what

true purification can be : a genuine rather than symbolic

purification, a transmutation and elevation of feelings.

The implications of phosphenic telepathy are actually

very profound as the practice of certain exercises,

particularily the ones described by Dr Lefebure in "THE

INITIATION OF PIETRO", create a sentimental

relationship. This form of telepathy is much richer than

simply transmitting numbers or shapes. It creates a

better understanding of an other individual through the

feelings that are perceived, something that goes

beyond the superficial language that we use to express

ourselves. Language is a form of communication that is

so limited that it does not allow the description certain

sensations.

Phosphenic techniques are progressive. Everyone is

free not to go futher than the production of a phosphene.

It is the same with phosphenic telepathy. Thus, by

keeping practicing, one unconsciously progresses from

TELEPATHY to CLAIRVOYANCE.

For example : do a phosphene. In this phosphene,

visualize the miniature image of someone you are close

to. Observe the images that can appear ; observe the

sensations ; observe the major ideas that come to you.

Write them down. Do the same exercise during several

phosphenes. In the beginning, the ideas and images

will come from you, but after a while...

TELEPATHICSTORMS

Telepathic storms are fantastic phenomena during

which many of the participants enjoy magnificent

visions. The character of grandeur of the

phenomena inspires deeply the participants.

A telepathic storm can take place when a compact

crowd, standing in rows, focuses on a large bonfire.

The phosphene produced by gazing at the fire is

accompanied by the emission of a subtle substancethat can sometimes be photographed. Also, various

types of experiments show that this phosphene is very

easy to transmit by telepathy.

The storm will be even more likely to take place if the

participants have practiced for a few months the

exercise of rotation of an imaginary dot of light moving

one time clockwise and one time anticlockwise along

the edge of a phosphene produced by a lamp.

It is necessary to have eaten or drunk nothing for at

least four hours and it is beneficial that your latest meal

should be composed entierely of bananas.

During the first minute of focusing, sway the upper

body from left to right, at a rhythm of two seconds (one

second one way, one second the other way), the head

is kept constantly tilted backwards.

When the movement is stopped, starting the experience

can be made easier by focusing on a point near the fire

rather than on the fire itself, eyes relaxed and perfectly

still, breathing slowly with the top of the lungs.

At this stage, a wink of the eye can trigger the

phenomenon, but it has to be interrupted if it starts.

Then, for cetain subjects, the fire seems to darken,

jump, pulsate, rotate, especially for those who have

praticed before the collective session and who become

inducers.

In case of failure, close your eyelids without moving

your eyes, until the green phosphene appears. Then,

imagine a dot of light rotating around the edge of the

phosphene, then open your eyes again. Repeat this

process patiently, insisting on the phase in which the

fire seems to tremble and on the phase in which the

colors change around the fire. These two phases are

the beginnings of the "Dance of the fire".

In a group, the chances of success are increased, and

if the phenomenon takes place, it becomes awesome

because the rhythms of the phosphenes are multiplied

by telepathic resonance. It is the transformation of the"Dance of the fire" into a "Fire prodigy".

The persons that do not perceive this dance can

practice "Mixing", i.e. mingling a precise thought with

the phosphene produced by the dazzle ; they will

nevertheless often experience visions or useful

intuitions.

The study of these phenomena is of major importance

for several scientific fields, but can only be continued

with large crowds.

sessions, please contact us.

THIS CLASSIFICATION OF THE INITIATORY EXERCISES

WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND IN WHICH ORDER THEY

SHOULD BE PRACTICED, ACCORDING TO HOW MUCH

TIME YOU HAVE

PHOSPHENIC MIXING is like the "seasoning" of the

initiatory exercises in the sense that it has to be

associated as much as possible with all these

exercises.

Apart from Phosphenic Mixing, there are four types of

exercises :

Swayings,

Static tensions,

Rhythmic breathing,

Ocular convergence.

These four types are themselves divided in two groups.

The first group includes all the different swayings and

the rotations, and the other group includes the three

other types of exercises.

Static tensions, rhythmic breathing and ocular

convergence are based on the principle of turning

towards the inside an activity that is usually turned

towards the outside. In the case of static tensions, thepoint of application of muscular strength that is usually

directed towards the outside will be transfered to the

inside: for example, one of the exercises consists in

remembering the sensation that your muscles gave you

when you were walking.

In the case of rhythmic breathing, there is also a

transfer towards the inside. During normal breathing,

inspiration is short and exhalation is divided in two

phases : a fast exhalation and a short one that is

almost a retention. The phase of retention is thus

situated between exhalation and inspiration in the

normal cycle, when it is situated between the phases

of inspiration and exhalation in the spiritual types of

breathing.

In the exercise of ocular convergence, the axis of the

angle of vision is turned towards the inside when it is

usually turned towards the outside. There is thus a

reversal towards the inside of an activity that is usually

turned towards the outside.

During the swayings, the cerebral hemispheres are

projected towards the "outside". To such an extent that

one can wonder if these exercises are part of the same

initiatory group as the other three. The path between

the cortex, the surface of the brain, and the periphery of

the body is a complete inversion. The right hemisphere

of the brain corresponds to the left part of the body ; if

the right ascending frontal circonvolution is injured, it is

the left part of the body that is paralysed. The lower part

of the body corresponds to the upper part of the brain.

If the right parietal is injured, it is the left foot that will

lose the ability to feel.

The posterior part of the brain corresponds to the front

of the body. For example, the occipital region

corresponds to vision and the eyes, when the lateral

regions correspond to hearing and the ears. Everything

that is located in the left of the brain correspond to what

is located in the right of the body, the top correspondsto the bottom, the rear to the front.

There is a law of inversion that reminds one of the

symetry of the circle. But, reversing an inversion leads

back to the starting point. That is why all the exercises

belong to the same technique, the same initiatory

principle, since the two groups of exercises form a

dynamic couple of opposites. This implies that

swayings are a particularily important, separated group

of exercises that involve the whole of the brain mass

physically, i.e. the organ of consciousness, when the

exercises of other group only indirectly stimulate it.

Swayings are the main exercises.

TECHNIQUES PHOspheniques

CLASSIFICATIONOF THE INITIATORY EXERCISES

by Doctor LEFEBURE



18/32

Page 18

This means that, if you do not have much time, only

swaying exercises associated to Mixing should be

practiced. The lateral swaying exercises should be

practiced in the evening (children spontaneously sway

lateraly before going to sleep). The anterio-posterior

swaying exercises should be practiced in the morning

(children sway that way in the morning to awaken

fully).

If you have more time, you can choose whatever

swayings you feel like doing and you can go from one

to the other following your inspiration. The mind tends

to spontaneously choose a type of swaying and will

change type several times during a long session.

If, on the contrary, you have as much time as you wish,

for example if you are on holiday or if you are retired,

the exercises can be practiced in the following order.

When we fall asleep, we gradually lose consciousness

of our body. This process starts with the feet and

slowly progresses upwards, up to a spot between our

eyes where we are conscious for a long time.

When we have just woken up, even before we have

opened our eyes, we feel that our consciousness is

located between them, on the base of the forehead in

the region that corresponds to the eye of Shiva. If, at

that moment, we wonder where our feet are, we have

to move them to be able to feel them. We thus fall

asleep from bottom to top and awaken the opposite

way. This matches the movement of the invisible

bodies that tend to leave the physical body during

sleep. Thus, the order of the exercises in the evening

should be :

Swayings,

Static tensions,

Breathing,

Convergence.

In the morning, the order should be reversed : even

before you have opened your eyes, practice

convergence, then use the relaxation of half sleep to

practice breathing, then static tensions, before going on

with the swayings once you are out of bed. Even if you

practice other types of exercises, it is useful to

establish a symetry between the exercises of the

morning and those of the evening.

For example, if in the morning you start by making a

plan of the day, in the evening, you should proceed with

an examination of consciousness, going backwards

starting with the last memory of the day and making

your way back up to the first,

Each exercise should be practiced for at least three

quarters of an hour.

If you do not have much time, but still want to practice

all the exercises, you can rotate them, without clinging

to a particular one as they all are complimentary.

Lateral swayings and static tensions :

evening exercises.

Rhythmic breathing, using the relaxation of half sleep

and before eating :

morning exercises.

Static tensions have a major action on willpower and

determination when ocular convergence has an effect

on concentration and the quality of thoughts. It is then

better not to stay focused on one exercise, but to

establish a rotation. During the day, do not miss a

chance to stimulate your inner rhythms with soft

movements of the head in order to maintain the

oscillation of the point of concentration.

Initiatory techniques were lost mainly because of a

lack of scientific vocabulary. The initiation of Mithra,

for example, consisted in focusing on a torch in a

cave for three days. The candidate was then supposed

to keep on gazing at "lights" in the dark. These lights

were obviously phosphenes.

The central element of initiation, the one that allows

access to "the other world", is

immediately available to

everyone. If it is not put to use, it

is because a mistake in our

vocabulary hides its true handling.

We are going to prove this with

some experiments that can be

verified by anyone.

Many books about Yoga or about

psychic development state that

clairvoyance can be developed by

concentrating the mind on a point

between the eyes.

It is admitted traditionally, and

without experimental evidence,

that it is by focusing attention on a

point inside the body, preferably

on a chakra or psychic center ofthe etheric body, that paranormal abilities can be

developed. Christian mysticism is no exception.

These texts and many others have spread the idea that

the "point of concentration" is the key to spiritual

development. If this was true, it would be so easy that

everyone would have become a great clairvoyant or

mystic. We are going to show that it actually consists

in a "point of dilation".

The following experiment should be practiced sitting on

a chair, in the dark, with your eyes open. Try to imagine

in your mind's eye a very small object, a spark for

example, and observe what happens. You obviously will

have to do the experiment several times in a row as the

mental image tends to vanish. What is actually of

interest to us here, is how this image vanishes. In

general, just before it disappears, the mental image

tends to dilate in extremely varied ways. Sometimes,

the mental image takes the shape of an irregular patch

that evaporates like a small pool of ether, sometimes it

takes the shape of strands or

concentric circles. A experiment of

psychology yields similar results :

children are shown the drawing of

a square and then asked to

reproduce it from memory. Every

fifteen minutes, the drawing is

shown and put away again. The

children's drawings tend to

become larger every time.

These two experiments converge

to demonstrate that a force of

dilation of thoughts exists, an

expansive tendency of the

imagination. The reverse is not

true : if you try to picture a gigantic

object, it will not diminish in size !

Let us now do a very interestingcomplementary experiment : imagine the circumference

of a small circle as a white line then, imagine that in a

few seconds, this circle grows up to the biggest

dimension your imagination can conceive. Then,

imagine that this circle vanishes, starting with its

periphery. Wait for a few seconds making no particular

effort and observe what happens : AN IMAGINARY

LIGHT APPEARS WITHOUT ANY EFFORT OF WILL IN THE

CENTER OF THE PREVIOUS CIRCLE, this light can take

the shape of a spark or a patch.

If we observe it for a short while, it will spontaneously

tend to grow and we can increase that growth with an

THE POINTOF DILATION

by Doctor LEFEBURE



20/32

Page 20

effort of will, expanding the periphery of this patch up to

the limits of our imagination. After a few seconds,

something will appear in the center of the previous

circle and so on indefinitely.

The reverse process does not exist : if we try to

diminish the size of the circle, a resistance appears in

the center and the shape tends to dilate anyway. This

process can only maintain the pulsation of a visual

image in your imagination, alternatively growing and

shrinking, with the feeling that nothing new appears in

the center.

So, in the first experiment, we are dealing with a point

of dilation of the forces of visual imagination that

creates a continuous current from the infinitely small to

the infinitely large.

This process can be compared to what happens during

cardiac contraction : the heart pushes the blood in the

vessels by contraction, but fills itself with blood in a

purely passive manner : the contraction of the auricle

fills the ventricle with blood but it is by a simple dilation

that the auricles are filled with blood. In a similar way,

in the "point of dilation" exercise, the effort of will

happens during the extension, the dilation, to increase

the natural tendency of imagination, but, the formation

of a new element in the center of the first one that has

vanished is completely passive.

Something fresh and new appears in our

consciousness, without the participation of willpower.

There is a very moral aspect to this law of the behavior

of the "point of dilation" : we have to make a voluntary

effort to give, receiving is done passively by what hindu

philosophy calls Karma. The heart functions the same

way, it does not pump the blood in and out, it only

pumps it out. It is the pressure of the blood that makes

it go back towards the heart. We are not conscious of

the principle of Karma, but it surely brings back to us

the consequenses of our actions.

If you practice the exercise of the point of dilation for a

few weeks, every night during a few minutes while you

are falling asleep, you will experience a curious

surprise.

THE SEVEN NOTCHESOF ASTRAL PROJECTION

Astral projection is not an experience that

succeeds of fails. The experimenter always

leaves his body more or less and the passage

from one degree to the next one is not progressive but

sudden. Out of body experiences follow very precise

levels or notches accompanied by very different inner

experiences, so by the expression "successful astral

projection" we mean that a higher notch than usual has

been reached. We will describe, in a rather conventional

manner, seven of these notches that cannot be called

stages because they are not necessarily presented in

their natural order.

1 - INSTANT PROJECTION OF THE IMAGE OF THE BODY

IN EVERYDAY LIFE :

If you are walking in the streets heading for the house

of someone you really like, your location and motion do

not stop you from imagining yourself already at that

person's and talking to him/her.

If you stay aware of this type of projections of yourself,

you will notice that they happen many times a day. It is

the first degree of spontaneous astral projection.

You can already notice certain characteristics that will

prove useful for triggering deeper out of body

experiences with the static tension exercises :

suddenness of the start, loss of the consciousness of

the image of the body between where you are and the

location you are thinking about as the image appears

instantly in that projected location.

2 - SUSTAINED PROJECTION OF THE IMAGE OF THE

BODY, WHILE RESTING :

Laying down and relaxed, start by imagining tiny dots of

light appearing on the surface of your skin, on all the

parts of you body that you are aware of. All these dots

then detach and gather in the axis of your body to exit

through the top of your head. Think about the location

where you want to go, project this image there in the

shape of a whitish cloud. You can focus on the dots one

at a time, following the journey of each of these dots

through your body ; or you can imagine many

simultaneous ones, like a burst of sparks gathered by a

current of air exiting your skull through its top.

If you practice this exercise regularily while you are

falling asleep, you will be surprised that, when the

image of yourself appears outside of your body by an

effort of will, it is denser, clearer and sharper than

usual, giving the impression of travelling to another

world.

3 - INTRODUCING THE RHYTHM OF TWO SECONDS INTHIS PROCESS :

To the previous exercise, add a small oscillation of the

points that detach themselves from the conscious parts

of your body, going towards the top of your skull in a

curved trajectory / motion.

If you experience difficulties practicing this exercise, for

example if after managing to project your image for an

instant outside of your body, it seems that your image

is projected back into you, alternate the previous

exercise with this one : the dot oscillates from the top

of your head to your feet, concentrating itself as it goes

through your neck, dilating itself towards the

by Doctor LEFEBURE



22/32

Page 22

extremities, becoming like a ball that bounces with an

increasing energy, until it has enough energy to pull

itself out of your body.

Then, it is almost effortlessly that the oscillation of two

seconds is maintained, in one form or another, in the

exteriorised double or in its environement.

4 - SYNCHRONISING YOUR CONCENTRATION WITH THE

RHYTHM OF THE REVERIE YOU EXPERIENCE AS YOU

FALL ASLEEP :

This is probably the fundamental element for obtaining

the best possible astral projection. If you experience

images as you fall asleep and if you observe them, you

will discover that their main theme follows a very slow

cycle, coming back endlessly every three minutes.

Strangely enough, this is the same cycle as the

phosphene. By synchronizing concentration with this

characteristic rhythm of the reverie, you will charge it

with initiatory strength, i.e. with the totality of the

rhythmo-phosphenic energy that you have accumulated

up to now. It transforms the reverie you experience as

you fall asleep like by magic ; the images become a

journey to the world beyond. By reciprocity, the

rhythmo-phosphenic complex receives a considerable

amount of energy from this process.

To realise this synchronization, practice the following

way :

a) Imagine the point of concentration far from your body,

in the distance.

b) Then, imagine shapes that emanate from it

periodically, DILATING UNTIL THEY VANISH INTO

INFINITY. These shapes can be varied : a circle which

diameter increases until it blends with the horizon for

example ; after a period of rest, imagine another circle

emanating from the point. You can, for example, give

each successive circle the colors of the spectrum.

After imagining series of circles, you will find that you

will need to replace them with sprays of sparks thatpropagate in a linear fashion. But these are details that

should be left to your imagination. What is essential, is

the outpouring from a point and the centrifugal

propagation towards infinity. If it is not too difficult,

follow the rhythm of two seconds ; the diameter of the

circle can, for example, not grow regularily, but by

successive bursts every two seconds, reminding of

waves and tides, imprinting the mind with a cosmic

rhythm. You can also visualize beautiful sprays of

sparks pouring out from the point of concentration every

two seconds.

For a long moment, this exercise will become easier

and easier, but you will be surprized to realize that

suddenly, your thoughts cannot keep up this work any

more and tend to dissipate.

You should start again with the same concentration but

going in the opposite way, the same images appearing

in the infinite and condensing into a point ; this

centrifugal movement should last the same amount of

time as the centripetal movement did.

By analogy, the green color of the phosphene lasts the

same amount of time as the red one.

This is why it is also beneficial to visualize the colors

of the spectrum from violet to green during dilation, from

yellow to red during contraction, an analogy of this

order can be found in the evolution of stars.

During centrifugal visualization, the time during which

concentration keeps on improving is roughly of a minute

and a half and it is the same during centripetal

concentration.

You can also notice that when concentration is nearing

its maximum, the point starts whirling and when it

reaches its maximum, mental static tensions are

triggered. Also, the greatest luminosity is obtained

when the light is imagined as a circle in the infinite.

With a little bit of practice, the loss of consciousness of

the physical body, compensated by the consciouness

of an exteriorised double, is complete. The double is

then directed towards the place you wish and is

sometimes perceived there by other people.

5 - AWAKENING DURING SLEEP :

Mainly under the influence of fronto-occipital

oscillations of the point of concentration, you will

sometimes awaken during the night, not in the physical

world but in the middle of the images of a dream that

are sharper than usual and often prophetic.

6 - VISION OF YOUR OWN PHYSICAL BODY AND OF

MATERIAL OBJECTS :

Under the influence of certain static tension exercises,

some persons sometimes perceive their own physicalbody in the position where it actually is as well as

some of the material objects in the room.

7 - PERCEPTION OF AN ENVIRONEMENT THAT DOES

NOT REMIND YOU OF THE PHYSICAL WORLD :

First let us say that the prime difference there is

between a dream and an out of body experience lays in

the quality and vivacity of the content and of the scenes

that are taking place "within yourself". These scenes

can remind you of elements of the physical world or of

perceptions giving you the impression of moving inside

an aurora borealis. Perception of motion in a universe

full of colors.

THE PHYSIOLOGICALPHENES

In 1959, Doctor Francis LEFEBURE

discovered, thanks to the various

categories of phosphenes, that

he could have access to different

levels of cerebral organization, and

that connections and exchanges

could be created in the brain to

clearly improve the intellectual

potential of any individual thanks to

very simple physiological

processes.

These processes consist in

stimulating the different senses, to

trigger reactions of the deep

rhythms of the brain and of the

nervous system. These reactions

express themselves by the

"phenes", a kind of physiological

echo which vibrations spread to the

different regions of the brain,

simultaneously stimulating

memory, the capacity for analysis

and synthesis, conceptualization,

creativity and the capacity of

abstraction, developing a richer

intellectual activity. The educational

aspects of the method stem from

this action. Here are a few examplesof the various ways by which the

phenes can be individually

stimulated and perceived.

THE PHOSPHENES :

Children produce phosphenes

spontaneously by pressing on their

closed eyes to "see stars, colors

and lights". They are the

phosphenes created by

compression. They cannot be used

as a technique, as there are other

softer ways to produce

phosphenes.

The phosphenes are the colored

spots that persist after we have

focused on a source of light for a

short period of time. We experience

them often, as the images of

dreams are made of spontaneous

phosphenes that organize

themselves in shapes and colors,

and to which we give a meaning

and an interpretation that are

connected to our environment as

well as the situations of our

everyday lives. Doctor LEFEBURE

has rationalized the use of the

phosphenes to create a simple

method that is easy to apply. His

method, Phosphenic Mixing Applied

to Education, is based on the

methodical use of phosphenes

obtained by a short period of

focusing on a source of light.

THE ACOUPHENE :

We are not dealing here with the

pathological acouphenes, but onlywith the natural phenomenon that

anyone can perceive by placing a

seashell over one's ear, like the

children to whom we offer to listen

to "the sound of the sea". The

seashell amplifies the physiological

acouphene, i.e. the hiss produced

by the circulation of the blood in the

inner ear.

Doctor LEFEBURE has demonstrated

that the acouphene, like the

phosphene, permits the observation

and the regulation of deep cerebral

rhythms, as well as the

development of very valuable

educational and psychological

applications.

THE GUSTATOPHENE :

Phene of the sense of taste and

chewing, Proust's madeleine cake

is a classic example, with its

obvious effect on memory. Indeed,

the gustatophene awakens

profoundly buried memories,

together with intense feelings and

sensations. The images which

come back to consciousness are

extremely sharp and precise.

Forgotten persons or places

suddenly come back to our minds.

This process can open up new

horizons to our psychologists and

research scientists.

THE PNEUMOPHENE :

The phene of breathing. More

difficult to produce than the other

phenes, it is mainly used bymethods which purpose is to

develop self control, like martial

arts, Zen, Yoga, etc. The

pneumophene is produced by

practicing holding one's breath,

whether after a full inspiration, or a

full exhilaration. This ascetic

training is not adapted to our

culture. A softer and easier process

consists in slowing both the

inspiration and the exhilaration as

much as possible, but without

stopping breathing altogether. After


24/32

a little bit of practice, the pneumophene appears as a

feeling of freshness, whether in the throat, the palate or

the chest. It is a very pleasant feeling that produces a

deep relaxation and, at the same time, a powerful

stimulation. The pneumophene is a potent reliever of

stress.

THE OSTEOPHENE :

The phene linked to the vibration of bones and sinews.

It is stimulated by strong rhythmic vibrations. Everyone

has experienced it, for example after a long journey in

train : in the evening, while falling asleep, we feel the

vibrations and the rhythm of the wheels on the track ;

and we can even experience again the harsh pitching of

the carriage.

THE PHENE OF THE SENSE OF BALANCE :

Everyone has experienced this phene, after a trip on a

boat, this time. As soon as we are back on the pier, we

realize that we still have the sensation that we are on

board. And again, as we fall asleep later on, the

movements of the boat come back spontaneously to

our consciousness, but in a more intense way than just

a memory, with a strong sensation of pitching and

tossing. This phene is very easy to produce and

observe, children do it naturally by turning round on

themselves and then stopping, keeping their eyes

closed to fully appreciate the reversed sensation of

rotation.

This particular sensation is called the gyrophene.

Playground games such as swings also produce

similar sensations and curiously, it seems that certain

types of swayings produce relaxation and well-being,

like swaying in a rocking chair, for example.

THE MYOPHENE :

The phene of muscular activity. It is common to feel it

after an intense repetitive muscular activity, for example

after having ridden a pushbike, dug a hole with a spade

or a pick, or used a hammer to make a hole in a wall.

These are common examples that underscore the

importance of the notion of rhythm and repetition to

trigger the myophene.

THE TACTUPHENE :

The phene of the sense of touch. This phene can be

perceived by repeating a rubbing movement or by a

lasting contact of the body or a part of the body. This

phene gives the sensation that one still feels the

contact or the movement, when there is no more

physical stimulation. For example, after having worn a

wetsuit or an armor for a long period of time.

THE SUBJECTIVE PERCEPTION OF TIME :

Unlike the other phenes, the subjective perception of

time does not produce the same sensation as the

perception of physical time. Indeed, when we observe

one or several phenes during three-quarters of an hour

or an hour, for example, it is very frequent that we have

the feeling that this period has lasted only 20 minutes.

Similarily, in everyday life, certain periods seem very

short and others very long, depending on the activity we

are undertaking : whether it is work or leisure. Though

an hour is always an hour, our organism has its own

perception of time and this perception is plastic.

Thanks to the phenic system, we can discover various

means to access the deepest layers of our

subconscious ; and in a totally structuring and positive

way. They are simple "tools" which effects can be felt

easily, and which applications can only enrich our

potential and experience. Moreover, there is a great

chance that the ancients used certain of these

processes in a more or less empiric fashion, for the

purpose of improving individual intellectual and physical

abilities, like for example, the peripapetics (from the

greek peripatein, to have a stroll), followers of the

doctrine of Aristotes, who philosophized while walking.

Or also the Lioubavitch jews, who study while

practicing swayings. Or even the Taoists, who focused

on the reflection of the sun on polished seashells. They

showed a great capacity for creation and left very

important works.

How many surprises these physical processes can still

bring to us ? Will our society be able, at last, to benefitfrom the works of Doctor LEFEBURE to improve its

know-hows ?

Each phene is a physiological intermediary between the physical sense to which it corresponds and an equivalent

spiritual sense which, once stimulated, gives access to the perception of intangible energies, events and

universes (i.e. that cannot be perceived by the physical senses).

The phenic system, when it is stimulated, triggers the perception of the spiritual planes, that the traditions call

"beyond", "invisible worlds" or "subtle planes".

The equivalent of the phosphene exists in all the other physical senses, to which should be added the sense of

balance, a particular property of the skeleton, muscular activity, breathing and the perception of time.

All these phenes, and others that might not have been detected yet (for example the phene of the voice that could

be constituted by auditory thoughts) are, of course, interconnected. So, when a specific phene is stimulated, one

can perceive sensations connected to another phene.

Moreover, there is a third sensory system, that until now has been
