If you can lower the volume of the spooky music for a moment, I'll explain. The out of body experience I am talking about is possible through Horse meditation, what we used to call Kima Chasie. In this article I am going to tell you exactly how to do that exercise, and what is going to happen
Back in the early seventies I was working on my black belt, and I was frustrated with this horse meditation thing. We would stand in the horse stance, one hand in a high block, the other hand in a horizontal, hooked back beak hand. We would concentrate out awareness on our clenched fingertips until our legs shook and sweat burst forth upon our innocent foreheads.
Yet, I knew the two minutes we spent in the drill were insufficient. I had heard the stories of guys who would stand in the stance for two hours, and how they became endowed with immortal powers. And, not to reveal my adolescent dreams, I wanted to be like superman.
The way to be like superman, to be honest, is just to go ahead and do it. So I began doing Horse Meditation in a more concentrated fashion. I would hold the horse stance until the ache became too great, and then break, and know that I had not succeeded.
I decided that I had had enough, I was going to do the big breakthrough. I was going to become the most immortal martial artist in the world...uh, other than Bruce Lee. I mean, I would be more than a God, but...Bruce is Bruce, you know?
So I took the horse stance, and when the pain started, I told myself one thing...it isn't going to kill me. Sweat, shakes, dire thoughts of having my legs disfigured for all time. But, having made the decision that I was going to make it or die...POP...I was out.
I floated above my head, disembodied, the world brilliant and forever, the source of immortality revealed. I had succeeded in using the martial arts, call it karate or kung fu or whatever, in realizing that I was a spirit, and that I was immortal, and that bodies were temporary things that you put on or take off as simply as one puts on a coat, or takes it off, or pants, they go on or off, too, and shoes, and socks, and...I was myself. Then, after a few minutes that seemed like an eternity, I decided to get back into my body, so I did, and I lost control, my stance fell forward, and I couldn't figure out how to move my body quickly enough, and I fell right, smack dab, square...on my face. - 31497
