Learning Astral Projection with
the BrainWave Generator

by Brian Mercer

The BrainWave Generator is a shareware program that uses stereo sound to guide listeners into an alternate state of consciousness. The program works using bi-aurual beats (different frequencies played in each ear) to induce alpha, delta, and theta states of consciousness (brainwave frequencies consistent with meditation, relaxation, and various sleep and sleep-like states).

Back when Mastering Astral Projection was first published, the BrainWave Generator was a economical (free!) way put put advanced tools for aiding out-of-body projections into readers’ hands.  Times have changed, however, and the BrainWave Generator’s age is showing.
I am pleased to offer here, at this site, the ability to listen to and/or download all the Mastering Astral Projection BrainWave Generator audio files.

Important Note:    Listening to these sounds can make you drowsy. Be sure never to listen to the sound files while driving or in any other situation where it would be dangerous to be in an altered state of consciousness. 

How Binaural Beat Technology Works

Brainwaves are attributed to electrical activity in the brain, which can be measured by an electroencephalogram (EEG) when electrodes are placed on the scalp. The dominant brainwave frequency is said to be the current state of brain activity or one’s state of consciousness. 

States of consciousness have been classified into various categories:

When an external stimulus is applied to the brain, in this case sound, the brain wave pattern has a tendency to match that stimulus. Ideally, we could play sounds pitched at the above listed frequencies and our brains would follow those frequencies into the corresponding altered state. However, our ears are not equipped to hear such low frequencies.

This problem is solved with a technique called binaural beats. This is how it works:

Let’s say we wanted to get into a meditative state. That frequency is about 8 Hz.

Think about a musical note, for example, “middle C” on the piano. It resonates at approximately 262 Hz.

In order to trick the brain into perceiving 8 Hz, the audio files associated with Mastering Astral Projection program play a note in one ear (in our example “middle C” or 262 Hz) and then another slightly higher note in our other ear (in our example it might be 270 Hz). When one note is played in one ear and the second note in our other ear, our brain mixes the tones so they sound like one note. The difference between these two notes is said to be the binaural beat. In our example, 270 Hz minus 262 Hz equals 8 Hz, the state of mind for meditation.

Each preset in the BrainWave Generator has at least one “voice”. A voice consists of what you can physically hear (for example, “middle C”) and the binaural beat or the difference between the notes played in the right and left ear (for example, 8 Hz).  Each audio file can have many voices, with audible notes played in harmony (or disharmony, as desired). This also means that a preset can have many different binaural beats (or all the same binaural beat, depending on the effect one is trying to create).

Most of the OBE exit training presets in Mastering Astral Projection have a lot of 4 Hz binaural beats in them. That frequency corresponds to the borderline between sleeping and drowsiness. This is the ideal state of mind for would-be projectors, the mind awake/body asleep state.

It is my experience that it helps to have many voices set to a binaural beat of 4 Hz, while leaving one or two at a higher (more alert) frequency, say 10 or 14 Hz. The resulting conflict of frequencies seems to have an interesting stimulation effect on the energy body, keeping one simultaneously sleepy but alert (i.e. body asleep/mind awake state).
Projecting Out-of-body with the Binaural Beat Audio

It’s important to note that just listening to these audio files isn’t enough to cause you to relax or meditate or have an out-of-body experience. The sound programs are only effective when used with the techniques found in the Mastering Astral Projection 90-day program. Please don’t make the mistake I did when I started experimenting with these sounds. These programs are the most effective the first few times you use them. Don’t “waste” listening to them unless you have gone through all the preparation needed for having an out-of-body experience.

For more information on how the sounds work to guide you into an altered state of consciousness, see Mastering Astral Projection Appendix B.

Important Note:  The sound files are only effective when using stereo headphones, isolating right and left channels in the right and left ears.  For the full effect, avoid using noise-cancelling technology.

My Experiences with Binaural Beat Technology 

One of my first experiences listening to the binaural beat technology resulted in a wake-induced lucid dream. Just before going to sleep, I stretched out on the carpet near my computer, put on stereo headphones and pressed the play button.

In less than a minute I felt stimulation of my energy body. There was a brief sinking sensation, then a distinct tingling vibration. The strangest part was that I could feel the stimulation beyond the limits of my physical body. There was kind of a wavering flutter in the air above my heart, solar plexus and navel centers. I listened quietly for about twenty minutes, as new vibrations began to manifest at the base of my legs. Eventually, however, the tingling sensation faded and, growing tired, I went to bed.

Shortly after closing my eyes I found myself in the dream environment, perfectly lucid and alert. I was standing in my parents’ house in the daytime. Everything was perfectly real, vivid and tangible. It was as if I had suddenly transported there in physical reality. In the dream the furniture was arranged the way it had been when I was in grammar school. It was the strangest thing, to walk around in the past as if it were the present. I knew I was dreaming, yet I found everything indistinguishable from waking reality.

I tried several experiments. In one of them I tried to fly, thinking that if this was truly a lucid dream that I would be able to soar up off the ground. I jumped up enthusiastically a few feet, then fell back to the ground again. I tried to will my environment to change, but nothing happened. I walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror to see my reflection, but I could only see a hazy blur where my body should have been.

I awoke shortly thereafter and immediately looked at the clock. I had been asleep less than ten minutes, too short a time for REM sleep to have set in.

The sound program I listened to that night formed the basis for the lucid dreaming presets I created for Mastering Astral Projection.

The Audio Files in the Mastering Astral Projection Program

 I had the idea of integrating the 90-day OBE program with binaural beat technology when I was writing the first draft of Mastering Astral Projection‘s chapter content. I had already experienced first-hand the very tangible effects on the energy body while listening to many of the these audio files. What if the sound programs could be matched with Robert’s powerful New Energy Ways (NEW) techniques? The combination would be a powerful aid in learning the mental states necessary for projection.

I’d studied music theory for several years, which was extremely helpful in developing the BrainWave Generator presets. Using myself as a test subject, and harnessing the expertise of the online community, I studied existing programs designed specifically for lucid dream and OBE, as well as those that I and others found effective in bringing on the pre-OBE vibrations. I quickly identified patterns that successfully stimulated the energy body. I used those characteristics to design the presets in the Mastering Astral Projection audio files.

There are three types of binaural beat programs in the Mastering Astral Projection: programs for meditation and energy work, programs for lucid dreaming, and programs for conscious-exit astral projection.
