Greetings,
My name is Francois Lepine, a Buddhist Bishop of the Pure Land tradition, and experienced in the esoteric knowledge of Vajrayana, ESP and supernatural abilities. I will post a few articles here, that is the introduction to any eastern type ESP development. I hope you will enjoy.

Introduction
Although everyone may start practicing the techniques found in this book, the ESP training will be more efficient for those who have at least 100 non-linear hours of experience with meditation. However, the training will still work if the student practices meditation along the way, even if it is for the first time. For this purpose, we will have a short chapter on meditation. So that everyone is comfortable with this training, we will suggest a few meditative techniques of various spiritual traditions. We encourage the reader to be open-minded to all spiritual paths, while engaging in his preferred tradition.
Any type of technical training can take up to two years, in just about any field of application (cooking, building, machinery operator…). It is the same for ESP. Although most people will show small scale results right from the beginning, it can take up to two years of daily practice to get efficient results. Most people will step quickly thru the techniques, as fast as possible, hoping to develop ESP quicker. This haste will be their downfall, since the body, the mind and the consciousness will not have time to entrain. I encourage everyone to practice long enough each technique before moving on to the other. Along your training, you are also encouraged to have meditation periods, where you are not entraining yourself to ESP. These meditations are essential breaks you must give to your mind. Failure to meditate will result in longer training requirements before any sign of success shows up.
Some people find the recitation of mantras (like magic formulas) to be inefficient, or meditation to be a waste of time. When asked how long they recited the mantra, they answer with a few minutes, 1 hour to the most. When asked how long they meditated, they reply that they could not endure past the first 20 minutes. It takes serious devotion and discipline to do this training, but once done, it is extremely powerful and works wonders. The mind and the body will react to this training. Sometimes positively, sometimes apparently negatively, while the structures of your consciousness change and adopt new tools to interact with the universe at every level.
Later on, we will learn how to produce an experience of peace in someone else, to regenerate the body, to see at a distance by placing your point of view anywhere you wish, and much more. This is only possible if every step of the training is done properly, with a mala in hand (explained later), with the good number of recitation of each mantra implicated in the training of such supernatural power. If it was so easy to develop supernatural abilities, we would see mages and vampires roaming around the streets at night. Only those with dedication to their training will succeed.
Of course, there are many other ways to develop supernatural abilities or extra-sensory perception, but this method is proven to work with those who have the patience and do each step with determination. The attitude also has a great influence on the training. The more positive you think about your training, the faster the effects will come. Someone who was lucky enough to experience a supernatural phenomena will find it easier during his training, since his mind won’t fight all along the way, doubting in the possibilities. While those who did not yet experience their first “weird” sensation, or random telepathic communication, will have to keep a constant focus on obtaining success. The mind has a great deal to play in the success of this training.
Not only must we keep a positive and determined attitude, we must also train our mind into becoming clear like calm water. Thus, we start the training by clearing the mind. For this, we will use a technique called “japa” that consists in chanting or reciting a “mantras” using a bead necklace to count the exact number of repetitions. The bead necklace is called a “mala”.
The human system is not only made of flesh and bones. We are also made of emotions, thoughts, and pure thought, that I like to call “Consciousness”. This consciousness is not only the fact that I am aware of what is going on. Consciousness also refers to a relationship with all the planes of existence: physical, vital, emotional, mental, causal, soul, spirit.
The human identity, also called the “ego”, is made up of:
- Physical / Animal body
- Vital / Energy body
- Astral / Emotional body
- Mental / Mind body
The higher identity, that I call the “Self” is your:
- Causal / Consciousness body
- Soul
- Spirit
The ego and the Self are not separated. But we attribute the four first parts of our identity to the “ego” because the body, energies, emotions and thoughts are affected by the natural laws and the animal instincts. While the Self, which is consciousness, soul and Spirit, is free from the influence of the animal instinct; it is our true origin.
Let us start right away with one of the tools that we will use to entrain our human nature (ego) to collaborate with our spiritual nature (Self).
Charging a Mantra
Before we can get to the next step, it will be important to learn how to clear the mind, and how to charge a mantra. It is essential to develop the habit to clear the mind before attempting any ESP experience. The human ego tends to send images to the diaphane (explained later), using our imagination. We have to learn how to reduce these interferences, but also to see thru them, in order to perceive the subtle nature of spiritual perception.
It is believed that this ESP training can be hard on your mind. In fact, it is your mind that will be hard on your training. We need to go beyond the limits where you mind will cooperate with the techniques. When we don’t think for a while, the mind becomes agitated and wants attention. Lots of attention. It then does all it can to disturb your training, and make you lose your focus. The first technique aims at going beyond this mental limit, and training your mind into stillness.
The technique that we suggest to clear the mind is to do mantra recitation, while using a mala; a technique called japa, in Sanskrit. Although we suggest the use of a mala (Hindu or Buddhist prayer necklace), it is not an absolute requirement. Only, the use of a mala will make the training more efficient, and will also transform your mala into a “power item” while you train. You can find a 108 or 109 bead mala in most oriental stores. A Hindu mala has 109 beads, made out of rudraksha (plant) beads, and a Buddhist mala has 108 beads, made out of wood or stone. Using a mala to count your recitations will also be helpful in creating a power item that will help in clearing your mind each time you will wear it around your neck.
Hold the mala in your right hand and count with your thumb or major finger. Do not touch your mala with the index while reciting the mantra, because it would decharge the mala. The process would work within you, and the training would not be in vain at all, but you would not be creating a power item at the same time. This also means that if your mala ever breaks (hope not!) you don’t lose all the mantra processes you have done, but you simply lose your power item. Store your mala in a place you consider private, or even better, a place you consider to be sacred. While it would not be dramatic, no one else than your self should touch your mala, to prevent the weakening of your power item.
In case you do not have a mala, we will also provide the recommended time of recitation. The more you recite the mantras, the more effect they have in your mind.
Sanskrit mantra to clear the mind:
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
Means: Divine Peace Peace Peace
Visualization: everything starts as light blue, fades softly, and eventually, no more visualization at all.
The mantra alone will have a soothing effect to calm your mind, but will not be as efficient until you “connect” to the consciousness it represents. When you first learn this technique, you should use the mantra intensively enough to break the mental limits of non-thought. You must recite the peace mantra for 9 malas or 45 minutes, each day for twelve straight days. We call this “connecting” the mantra. When you practice this technique intensively, you charge your soul with the energy and consciousness invoked by the mantra. Failure to do the 12 days in a row or to recite the appropriate number of malas will result in poor connection and less efficient effects for the remainder of the entire training. If you have difficulties being constant, here is the time to practice. If you miss one day, start the entire process from scratch. For your practice to count, you have to do your process once per 24 hour period, before the sun rises. (I remember coming back from a class, at 2:00 AM, and sitting down to make my japa of the day. I kept falling asleep, so I did it walking around in my meditation room to prevent myself from falling asleep.)
Chanting a mala means you chant 108 mantras. We do not count the 109th bead in the Hindu mala, that is used only once at the beginning to make a prayer, depending on your faith. It could be a prayer to your higher-self asking for more efficient ESP. Chanting 9 malas in a row (972 mantras) for twelve days in a row (11664 mantras) will make the mantra extremely efficient when afterwards you wish to use it for only a few minutes. Chant the mantras while visualizing everything as a clear blue sky. If thoughts come by, let them be softly, and try to pay attention only to the mantra and the clear blue light. It is possible that images NOT originating from your mind will come, but don’t pay attention to those either; not yet. When you do japa (recite mantra using your mala) we must pay attention to the philosophical concept that the mantra represents. You may rock your body gently while charging your mantra.
Once you have connected to this mantra’s consciousness, if your mind is going crazy or is too filled with thoughts, recite one mala, or 5 minutes of this mantra, while clearing your mind. It is recommended to do one mala of the mantra of peace before each one of your other training practices, except the techniques where you fall asleep.
Meditation
Unlike what we see in commercial meditation, true meditation has to be done in silence, physically and in the mind. Sit, breathe a few times, and calm your mind. When your mind is agitated, chant the mantra of peace a few times. When your mind is getting calm, clear out everything and stay in a state of clarity, simply aware that you are aware. We call this state of mind “self-awareness”.
Once you get your attention on being aware, even if a few mental ripples come along, place your attention on yourself, as a soul, not a body. Feel your soul, feel what you are inside, pay attention to your consciousness, your spirit. This part of meditation is simply unexplainable. Just do it. Try to be what you are, without effort. Simply pay attention to what you feel you are, whether you know or not what you are. You are the Self, so be the inner supreme consciousness of the Self.
when your mind takes too much place, go back to chanting the mantra of peace silently, a few times. Then, go back to being the inner Self. This is the source of your real power. Practice this meditation of the Self everyday for 2 to 5 minutes.
This technique is so simple that we tend to complicate it. We seek what to feel. We wonder if we are doing it correctly. We doubt, we wonder off, we imagine things. This technique is so simple, just do it. Sit, relax, pay attention on nothing, as yourself, with no definition. Don’t think of what you are. Don’t let thoughts about yourself whirl around in your mind. Don’t think. Just be. If you don’t know who or what you are, then you are close to the goal.
When you meditate, or when you are doing your japa processes, it is possible that you “transcend”. It might look like if you lost consciousness, or went to sleep, but in fact, it is your consciousness that is awakening, and at first, this shuts down the human self for short periods. This is the goal of every technique of transcendental meditation. In a transcendent state of consciousness, you are fully free of your human limitations. You are cleansing your soul, expanding, refilling with light and pure thought.
If you start to snore, or if your body becomes so loose that it can’t hold itself up anymore, then you went to sleep. This is not too bad, but it is not the goal of meditation. While seated, if your body can still stand on its own with only your head bowing forward, then you are transcending. If you transcended for too long, your head leaning in front for a while, your neck will be soar and you have to carefully help your head back up with your hands, so that you do not develop neck aches.
The goal of meditation is to empower your Self so much that your spiritual consciousness overrides your human identity for a short moment. When this happens for 200-300 times, after years of practice, a time will come when you will transcend, but remain conscious of what is going on even in a state of expanded consciousness. When you return to your normal state of consciousness, you will also retain from partial to full memory of what happened to you during your transcendental experience.
The reason why our human self passes out is that the level of energy and information at the spiritual level of True Self is so intense that the human cannot withstand it. When we come back from a transcendental state, we know that something happened. Sometimes we feel refreshed, filled with new energy, but other times, we remain dizzy for a moment. Once you come back from this higher state of consciousness, you remain in a state of empowerment and you should only pay attention to good and positive thoughts for at least 20 minutes. Before you become a true adept at meditation, become an adept at controlling your thoughts. You don’t want to manifest bad things, and you do want to encourage the manifestation of good events. It is encouraged to repeat yourself a nice positive thought when you are back from meditation. Repeat mentally a phrase that will encourage your training (My consciousness expands, my mind is pure) or that will promote your general wellbeing (My life is simple, and I am happy).
You should practice meditation at least 5 minutes everyday, before of after any other type of spiritual training. On a weekly basis, you should have a meditation period of more then 20 minutes, until you get to the Siddhi path, at the end of this training.
