Between the Gates Lucid Dreaming, Astral Projection, and the Body of Light in Western Esotericism by Mark Stavish(1).pdf

Now Enter the Doors of Perception

The best practical guide to inner journeying in the realm of Western esotericism.

- Russell House, author of The Portal: A Story of Love, Immortality,

and the Philosopher's Stone

Mark Stavish's Between the Gates is an A-to-Z guide to lucid dreaming and

astral projection. You'll find everything you need to undertake self-initiation

and reach higher planes of consciousness: exercises, rituals, practices, and tech-

niques that are simple to perform and astonishingly effective. It also addresses

'The Great Transition," death and dying, from an alchemical and Qabalistic

perspective.

In Mark Stavish's own words, "What you hold in your hand is a treasure passed

down to you through generations, in secret, and now made public in a clear,

comprehensive, and easy-to-understand form, with instructions anyone can follow."

For anyone who endeavors to have a direct experience into the very nature of

life, consciousness, and reality itself, Between the Gates is the only book you need.

'A tour de force of common sense occult theory, and practical and effective

magical exercises, written by a teacher whose wisdom, erudition, and humility

come through on every page."

- James Wasserman, editor of Aleister Crowley and the Practice of the

Magical Diary and the Weiser Concise Guide Series

Praise for Between the Gates

"Mark Stavish has managed what few in the postmodern age can even

conceive. He introduces here a methodology that instructs us in the art

of conscious living, and more startlingly, in that of conscious dying. The

Body of Light, included here, is an extraordinary concept that will enrich

our years while wrapped in skin, while also providing a means of self-

determination as we transition out of this mortal coil. Between the Gates is

a masterpiece of esotericism and Stavish's finest work to date."

- Colleen Deatsman, author of Inner Power: Six Techniques for

Increased Energy & Self-Healing and Energy For Life: Connect with the

Source

"Never before has such a body of practices on lucid dreaming, astral

projection, spirit vision, rising on the planes, pathworking, scrying, and

the Body of Light been presented in a single volume, nor so seamlessly as

to guide students step-by-step through their stages of progress and interre-

lationship. Mark Stavish has written what may be the best practical guide

to inner journeying in the realm of Western esotericism."

- Russell House, author of The Portal - A Story of Love, Immortality,

and the Philosopher's Stone and past President of The Philosophers of
