Between the Gates

Mark Stavish's guide walks readers through psychic initiation, beginning with simple techniques for working with dream states and conscious astral projection. Its goal is the creation of the Body of Light, which the author presents as the highest stage of consciousness. The book is written for people who have wondered what it would be like to experience the so-called afterlife while still alive, as well as for those who want to lose their fear of dying. Its methods draw on traditional Qabalistic and alchemical sources, but the author presents them so that practitioners from many different traditions and schools of thought can use them.

Organized as an alphabetical progression, the book builds step by step toward higher awareness and, finally, toward readiness for the passage out of this life and this physical body. Black and white illustrations accompany the text to help readers follow the practices.

The author is featured in Guy Ritchie's much-discussed documentary about the Qabala.
