Book Reviews of Between the Gates: Lucid Dreaming, Astral Projection, and the Body of Light in Western Esotericism

Book Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars

One of the most impressive books to come out lately. The body of light is frequently mentioned in many texts and few if any ever expand upon it. What is it? What makes it different from the astral body? How do you create it? How do you use it? This book actually details all this and more.

The first few chapters of the book offers a crash course in hermetic theory. Nothing new but does so accurately and with surprising completeness considering the vastness of the subject. Then moves on to inducing lucid dreams and astral projection in the following chapters, before getting to the creation of the body of light itself.

There are ample exercises and rites with in depth explanations and directions that would give the feel of a workbook if not for the numerous articles of information between them.

The critiques I have is in some places the author glosses over some finer points within his articles that often leaves you with wanting him to elaborate further but doing so would probably have ballooned the text beyond the scope of this work. Additionally there are so many exercises scattered throughout the chapters, many listed by the author as core, to be done daily, that I wish there was an index to them. Overall I was highly impressed with this book.

Summary of Between the Gates: Lucid Dreaming, Astral Projection, and the Body of Light in Western Esotericism

An A to Z guide to evolved states of consciousness. Between the Gates is a manual of self-initiation and liberation that takes the student through the basic methods of experiencing dream states and conscious astral projection, to the ultimate culmination of consciousness-- creation of the Body of Light. Between the Gates is for anyone who has ever desired to experience the "afterlife" while still alive, or who has desired to rid themselves of the fear of death. While drawing upon traditional Qabalistic and alchemical sources, the methods presented are applicable to a variety of traditions and schools of thought. Between the Gates functions as an "A to Z" guide to psychic initiation toward higher consciousness, and ultimately, to preparation for the great transition beyond this life and this physical body. * Stavish is featured in Guy Ritchie's hotly anticipated documentary on the Qabala. * Features black and white illustrations to further guide the reader to a higher state of awareness.
