Confusion About "double-spiral Travel"... Options

I was reading somewhere in a book of eastern traditions I have, and I came upon a meditation which is meant to enable access to other worlds.

The are two possible problems with this:

1. I have no idea how to go about doing this exercise as it is new to me.
2. I am not sure if the author has inscripted everything in detail.

I typed the meditation and found a picture of a spiral which I will add below.

Visiting other worlds:

This procedure comes from an old Celtic tradition for getting to the otherworld.

Exercise:

Sit in a comfortable position and place a piece of paper in front of you with the picture of the double spiral on it. Devote your full attention to it for a few minutes, and then close your eyes and focus inwardly on the starting point in the center of the right-rotating spiral. Now, consciously transport yourself to this point and begin following the spiral to the right, step-by-step. After making some turns, you will reach a point at which the energy changes. On the energetic level, this point is customarily protected by two guards who will not let every traveler pass. If entrance is denied, you must turn back immediately.

If passage is granted, follow the left-rotating spiral into the center. The area surrounding the center point is at first clad in thick swathes of fog that only lighten after you reach the center point. There, a completely different world opens up. The term “otherworld” does not denote a specific place, but is rather a collective term for all reachable parallel dimensions that exist in our world in different times nad vibration levels. If you meet other beings in this place, approach them with respect. If orders or prohibitions are issued, follow them without exception.

In order to end the visit to the otherworld, return via the same route that took you there. Again start in the center of the left-rotating spiral and follow its windings out clockwise. At the turning point between the two spirals, turn left to enter the counter-clockwise spiral. When you reach the center and your consciousness is again in the here and now, you can conclude the meditation. Open your eyes and stretch in order to feel your body again.

Has anyone had an experience with such a travel? Or does anyone understand the magick/method behind the double-spiral which enables travel?

The description was just a bit vague for my taste.

Have you ever read any of Robert Jordan's books starting with, "Eye of the World" where the energy Matrices which are inherent in the life forms of all Sentient Beings is compared to a Tapestry. The tapestry has central threads, which could be described as Causal, or Physical Threads which bind us to the Realm of Action, and Reaction. Then there are the Threads of the Tapestry that have been intertwined in places to form an almost infinite intersection or focal point. These Intricate Patterns are when our life becomes converged with other more complicated and various threads and patterns which to us as subjective are consdiered as "Major Times of Events," these times are synchronized with the convergences of important events, new Illumination, major changes, and an almost infinite number of Universal Possibilities

Sounds exactly like the Mandala i was talking of in the prior post.

In all of myth and history you will see that most esoteric explanations are the same. Or very close. The Wyrd is the same. And also a mythical creature. Known to appear anywhere at anytime. and drain the life force of humans because its partially in the present and partially in the astral. A wraith is known for nearly the same partly here and partly in the world of the dead.

Causal,Here and now, first attention,Physical body


Acausal, any time or place, second attention, AEthereal body




It also sounds like an explanation of the Norse "Wyrd" or compilation of all intersecting and intermeshing levels of Existence which are united in the Persons being at any given time, and which shapes the level of a persons actions, thoughts, and direction according to certain choices and results, Cause and Effect.

the assemblage point is the point on the human/astral body that is firmly set it is the point where all the energy and "intermeshing" levels unite. To have the ability to make the assemblage point slip is the second attention and also the root of all sorcery in existance.
Almost forgot, Robert Jordan is excellant and involved with the occult just as L RON HUBBARD.
