You live two lives, and you have only been shown one of them.
Every night you close your eyes and go somewhere. A third of your life passes there, unwitnessed. Human beings can learn to remember the night, to wake inside their dreams, and to cross consciously into the worlds beyond the body. But most who try fail for years, and the reason is almost never talent. They arrive at the doorway empty.
Sealing the Vessel is not another book of techniques. It is the first work, the work that comes before every technique and quietly decides whether any of them will bear fruit. In these pages you will discover where the energy of your consciousness drains away each day, how your imagination has been stolen and spent on things that do not exist, and how to gather what was scattered so that the vessel of you begins to fill again. Consciousness cannot gather into new worlds while it is leaking.

Who this book is for
Anyone drawn to astral projection, out-of-body experiences, lucid dreaming, or simply to being more awake in their own life. No belief is required, and no prior experience. This edition more than doubles the original, first written for a small circle of students, and moves from the sober evidence of Western explorers to the dream yogis of Tibet. Read it slowly. The journey has already begun.
