Pane Andov's ( Astralwalker) next book

Here is Pane's latest message on Facebook



Hello everyone,

at the moment I’m working on my latest book “Awakening”. After almost two years of writing I hope it will be completed, edited and published in the next six months. So my free time is mostly taken in that direction. Once that is complete, have plans to come back with a new platform…new seminars and new lectures are part of that new platform.

So many people have contacted me in the last few years, requesting knowledge about what I do, assistance in their own practice of meditation, ESP, astral projection etc…but I just couldn’t find the time to deliver. That will change as soon as I finish the book. The book will be a great combination of many disciplines, put together, integrated in such a way to provide one completely different picture of reality from what the mainstream media and science are delivering.

It is highly advanced program of self-awakening, it will include advanced meditative techniques how to awake, feel, develop and control the inner energy, ESP programs I have never spoken about before, complete and never before explained step by step achieving of controlled out of the body experience, my new astral travels and what I have seen and learn on the Astral Plane since 2007 till the present day…huge part of the book is given to the extraterrestrial activity on the Astral Plane during the sleeping time, alien abduction and implantation scenarios and the real reasons behind them, the watch and assistance by the positive ET groups and their stopping even more massive human exploitation programs, involvement of a Military Shadow Government into all of that, how the whole UFO cover up started from an angle never explained and put together before, diamond solid UFO evidence, UFO activities on the Moon, Mars, Saturn, four moons of Jupiter…our star been used as teleportation device as part of a vast cosmic network of space time continuum, aliens using the sun gateway that allows matter to enter "hyperspace”, or open cosmic wormholes in our sun to travel to far locations in the Cosmos, to other dimensions and the dimensions between the dimensions, how it all works in my understanding and from what I have observed on the Astral plane…which type of UFOs belongs to which group and what are their agendas according to my astral observations, how we lost our DNA potentials in the Ancient past, the ancient conflict in ancient times explained as never before, a lot of new information will be put about Atlantis, Lemuria and Rama Empire, in more “modern times” the role of NASA, ESA, NSA and other agencies in the massive worlwide UFO cover-up with listings, parallels and connections as never explained before, the explanation of the Great Void and the dark tunnel people often observe during their NDEs, the important note will be given on the food we eat, the acknowledgment that animals are conscious and have soul, animal suffering and rising awareness about how it slows our evolution down by consuming animal flesh, DNA virus…the awareness of eventual consequences if ignoring and continuing the direct or indirect harm to animals…a connection between the Chemtrails and the UFOs what other reasons the military is spraying for that most of the people are not aware of, the existence and manipulation of the secret occult societies and their influence on human society, slow and fast disconnection from the illusionary matrix of society, reconnection with other beings that are already awakening, global healing meditations on the principle the ancients have done it with new insights, suggestions and solutions how humanity can overcome the fear of the unknown, understand the big picture and the hidden reality, and which steps need to take to evolve. If not stopped by the shadow forces, the book could be game changer for the lightworkers. It contains the missing pieces that could trigger a great new and fast awakening movement in the matrix.

Updates will be given about the galactic wave of intelligent energy that is currently passing around solar system, that from 2008 to 2012 has caused massive changes on our star and planets, the massive black plasma spheres discharging the sun and blocking the galactic wave entering our solar system and causing a complete reset of all life back at the end of 2012…new information about the subject that I never felt to explain to anyone since in my opinion and in the opinion of the ETs that from time to time I came in contact, we missed an important opportunity evolve back in 2012, reactivate our full DNA potentials and break free from this kind of enslaved existence that most of people are not even aware of it. But in Universe nothing is lost forever and new chance will come…it is simple the way of evolution. I have been walking this road for more than 30 years in this biological vehicle and almost an infinity before I took this human biological vehicle.

My purpose was, is and will always be serving and assisting in the process of the Awakening. As many of you that know me for long years, my approach is a lot different from most people, the insights and the streams my thoughts and different. During the years, I have inspired thousands to change their ways, from simple purify their actions as much as possible, have open their eyes that what we do to the animals is wrong, have taught them how to progressively meditate, so many have achieved their first fully conscious and controlled out of the body experiences, have awakened their Kundalini energy and so much more. In a sense, I have developed strong bond with all of my friends that I have interacted or shared knowledge. They have become part of me and I have become part of them. Anyway, the effort that I have put in this book is tremendous, it will be more than 600 pages full of incredible information and it took a lot of sacrifice from my side and I couldn’t have done it so far without the support of my family. It was so time consuming but I felt that for me it feels right to deliver perhaps for the last time a gift to all those wonderful people who are truly seeking the truth of what is really going on in this solar system, what is the real nature of our reality and what are steps that can be taken towards the evolution of human consciousness.

Let there be Love and Light for everyone, Pane

Pane Astral Walker Andov 's website:

All four books soon available to order

http://puretranquilitypublishing.com/awakening-life-force-energy/



“The Awakening” is a series of four non-fiction books that will take the reader to a magnificent metaphysical journey throughout the Universe. They are the product of the author’s life work and it took him three years to complete them, in their entire complexity. In these books, he did his best to transfer all his research about the hidden nature of the reality we live in, work that many other researchers can benefit from. His hope is, that the books will find their way into the hands of people that are ready for this knowledge, but especially those who vibrate with the same vibrational frequency, who also have heard the inner call and who will be willing to continue this work and take it to the next level.

The way they are written, each of these four books is one piece of the puzzle. Only when all four pieces are combined, will the reader have the complete perspective of the hidden reality we are living in today.

From ancient human civilizations on planet Earth, to the modern UFO phenomenon and confirmed extraterrestrial presence in our solar system, the human being is somewhere in the middle, trying to figure out what we truly are, who created us, where do we come from, and equally important…what are we doing here and where are we going.

The Volume 1 deals with many different subjects combined in one powerful unity. It is a solid preparation for everything that will be covered in Volume 2, 3 and 4.

It starts with the author’s personal view of the Universe, how it came to be, how it functions, our location and place in it. The ultimate harmony and the fractal design found all over the Universe, clearly shows a signature of an intelligent Creator. In parallel, using the best science to date as a background, a beautiful esoteric projection has been developed, with a purpose to provide a lot better perspective of the immaterial part of the Universe.

To achieve this, the author encompassed ancient traditions, information given to him by extraterrestrial intelligence, science and metaphysics, as the study of the necessary, eternal, and completely universal aspects of reality. Combining all aspects of research into one, he clearly expresses his views that the Universe is one gigantic communication system.

The next part of the book explains that perfectly corresponded consciousness is manifesting in three specific languages: Sacred Sound (vibration), Sacred Sequence (time/numbers), and Sacred Geometry (form).

As a contactee and astral traveler from a very young age, the author writes from experience and holds a strong perspective that we are not alone. In fact, he knows for sure that the Universe is teeming with extraterrestrial life.

As the book progresses, the true nature of humans is presented in a unique way. The connection between the human brain and the Psionic system is given, which provides the reader with a complete new understanding of how consciousness utilizes the life force energy.

Step by step, the author goes deeper and deeper into the enigma of human genetics, sharing his understanding of the hidden connections between the DNA software and the consciousness. In parallel, he shares the research of top scientists and experts in the field, confirming that the DNA can teleport itself to distant cells via electromagnetic signals. However, this quantum teleportation of genetic material is only the tip of the iceberg, and the author goes a lot deeper explaining the higher functions of human phantom DNA and that some extraterrestrial species also present in this solar system, secretly harness human genetic material.

The author clearly indicates that the DNA is more than just physical substance and that it does not apply only to the biological body that the consciousness currently occupies, but also to all other six immaterial bodies that the consciousness is connected to. During deep sleep, once the consciousness is out of biological body, collecting vital astral energy, there is a wireless connection through photons, between the immaterial “astral phantom DNA” and the actual physical DNA inside the biological body.

The most fascinating aspect of this part of the book is the description of an extraterrestrial involvement into reprograming human DNA software.

After decades of long research, filtering data and firsthand experience, the author has concluded that the human race has been and still is exploited in so many ways by at least a few extraterrestrial species.

These extraterrestrial species have been around for at least 12,000 years.

He also concluded that there is sufficient evidence that not all extraterrestrial species present in this solar system are negative and manipulative in nature, and that they are sometimes in conflict with the abusive ones.

Some species want to help human species reactivate its lost genetic functionality and to evolve again, while others want to keep the “status quo” of human perception and understanding, so they can continue their deceptive and exploitative activities as long as they can.

The effort to try to understand what is going on, from the input generated only by the five senses, is not enough for the human race to fully understand what is happening and how to break free from this subtle manipulation and deception.

He agrees that it is a start and necessary part of the process, but according to him, the real chance for humans getting their freedom back, is in the awakening of their latent potentials. Therefore, at this stage of the book, he is slowly and gradually moving towards the explanation about the human consciousness and its connection to the Force.

Therefore, the power within is explained in full detail.

From ancient Qi Gong system trained in parallel with Shaolin Kung Fu, to Tai Chi Chuan, ancient Kundalini Yoga, Pranayama and Tantra Yoga system…the Qi, Chi, Prana or Kundalini, whatever terminology we want to use for this power within, a full overview is given.

Once the necessary theoretical input is provided to the reader, the author is slowly turning the book into a training manual for awakening human latent potentials. He explains that the life force itself is coming from higher dimensions of the Universe, through a medium called Psionic medium.

This medium, also known as Psionic Field, stands for the infinitive ocean of divine energetic substance that runs throughout the entire Universe. He claims that he was given information from extraterrestrial intelligence, that there is an effective way for the consciousness to access this Psionic Field.

Planet Earth, as the entire solar system, as the entire galaxy, the cluster and the supercluster, is connected with this gigantic Psionic Field.

Based on given instructions, the author has developed a functional meditation method that allows the human consciousness to penetrate into the Psionic Field.

He has divided the method into five separate systems that are described in high detail, with step by step instructions. They advise the student how to breathe, how to remain in pure/empty consciousness for a longer time and uninterrupted by the thoughts that are keeping the Primary system active; how to make the mental efforts needed for the human brain to reboot from the Primary into the Secondary system, which efficiently provides both extrasensory perception (ESP) and altered states of consciousness.

A complete overview of the Remote Viewing (RV) process is given and how it can be utilized by the consciousness to its fullest.

The author clearly states that in order to master all five systems, we first need to understand the electrical patterns appearing inside the cerebral lobes.

All humans display five different types of electrical patterns or “brain waves” across the cortex. It is essential for the student to understand the connection between these 5 brain waves and the consciousness.

Only when the student has reached a point of self-development where he/she can recognize which brain waves appeared across the cortex with a certain breathing rhythm, mental effort or energy pressure applied, he/she will be in a position to control how his/her brain functions. Especially the function of the Pineal gland and right Angular Gyrus.

The author further elaborates that following the steps of the meditative procedure will result a fine tuning between the human brain frequency and the Schumann Resonance (SR) of planet Earth.

Furthermore, this fine tuning will result with the Pineal gland starting to naturally produce DMT bio-chemical compound inside the brain.

DMT is short for “Dimethyltryptamine”, which is a powerful psychoactive substance. This psychoactive substance will light up and activate rarely used brain connections which further activate the human “Third Eye”.

The mental screen in front of the closed eyes will light up and the consciousness will see visions of things and remote places, by means other than the known senses, but only by penetrating and exploring the Psionic Field.

This Psionic Field stretches throughout all seven Planes of existence, via a gigantic energy network.

The author fully explains that at the beginning stage of the RV, the observation and the extraction of information is limited only to the Etheric Plane of existence, but in time, as the training stage progresses, the student becomes capable of taking a step further by replacing the RV with a direct projection of the consciousness into the Astral Plane.

The Third system, deals with controlled out of body experience (OBE).

Astral projection refers to an out of body experience during which the astral body leaves the physical body and travels to the Astral dimension. The importance of a short time interval (probably seven seconds), Kundalini energy charge powering the right Angular Gyrus is fully explained. Without it, the Third system cannot function properly.

The density of a certain dimension of existence is important. Out of the seven dimensions that exist in the Universe, the Astral dimension is the third lowest on the scale, with the Physical dimension being the densest.

With the help of the astral projection new horizons are opening up to us, showing us that death as such do not exist, and that it is only a transition of the consciousness from the physical into the immaterial world.

The book continues with the possible occurrence of the Fourth system during RV mode, which is an electronic one-way transmission sent by Shadow Government’s secret installations similar to HAARP (The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program).

These electronic transmissions often have military implications, so there are steps that the remote viewer can take to protect himself/herself from eventual harmful frequencies that can induce artificially manifested visions inside the human consciousness.

Out of all five systems the fifth is the most fascinating.

The Fifth system deals with establishing a telepathic two-way communication with friendly extraterrestrial intelligence.

In most cases, this extraterrestrial intelligence does not engage into direct telepathic contact until it is absolutely sure that the human being is ready for it.

The next part deals with the sleeping time.

If we take into consideration that no matter how many days we sleep, if we sleep for 1/3 of our day (8 hours) for our entire life, we will sleep for 1/3 of our entire life!

That is a lot of time spent in sleeping. Most people consider the sleeping time useless, since the awareness is missing. The author clearly explains that while we are sleeping, we are already on the Astral Plane, but due to low genetic functionality and existence of alien holographic software, we are not aware of our presence there. There are many factors that are in the play here. Therefore he provides a gradual explanation of the entire phenomena and how to achieve conscious out of body experience during sleeping.

As mentioned, during the sleeping time, the astral body of the human being departs from the physical host and enters the Astral Plane where it starts collecting life force energy that is essential for existence.

The entire recharging process is fully explained, which gives valuable clues to the student, of how the dynamics of the energy transfer between the astral, etheric and physical body works.

The following chapters deal with dreaming programs of holographic nature; why we are perceiving them inside the Astral Plane or how they are artificially manifested inside our consciousness.

A complete elaboration of four sources that the dreaming programs can originate from, are given. The author takes the entire human understanding of what dreams really are to a whole new level.

The first and the second source of dreams, originate from the shallow and deeper levels of our consciousness.

The third source is quite interesting since it is embedded directly into the substance of the astral matter.

However, the fourth source of the dreams, is most complex and most bizarre, since in a small percentage it originates from projections transmitted by old immaterial living astral entities, but mostly originates from dark alien entities that are using very advanced technology to create a kind of holographic mask inside the Astral Plane, which prevents the human consciousness to gain full awareness there.

There are many reasons for such holographic deception. Some of them are to not allow humans to have controlled astral excursions that will reveal the daily presence of alien ships inside the Astral Plane, not visible from the physical dimension. Furthermore, these conscious astral excursions will also reveal that these large flying objects are sending smaller flying vehicles or plasma orbs to perform various tasks, such as alien abductions, implantation of microscopic tracking devices or alien implants, alien cross breeding and genetic engineering programs, as well as many other activities that the human population is not aware that are happening.

The majority of these abusive alien creatures reside in the Saturn system. Huge cylindrical flying objects have been detected at the velocity of Saturn and the fourth book is dealing with their activities.

They are artificially engineering the rings of Saturn to serve as a powerful antenna to transmit and upload a super advanced alien software inside Earth’s natural astral layer.

This alien software creates a Hologram inside the Astral Plane, sensitive to human subconscious fears, which results with the appearance of negative emotional energy charge (very often as a feeling of suffering).

This negative vibrational energy is then collected by certain type of orbs and taken back to the alien ships. During his astral travels, the author have seen this happening quite often and the dynamic is fully explained in the third book.

The forth book is very complex and can fully be understood if the reader is familiar with the abundance of information given in the previous three books. Only then will the reader understand the complexity of the situation that we are in and what we can do about it. The author has been told by the positive extraterrestrial intelligence that there is a solution and a hope for the human race, but there is still much work to be done.

The first book continues with an explanation that there is a difference how the consciousness departs the biological body during the process known as astral projection. Simplified, the astral body can operate on two vibrational frequencies that can provide a different performance to the consciousness.

The technique of how to depart the physical body with the astral body, that vibrates on a higher frequency, which allows a far better performance, is fully given and one just needs to follow the instructions.

This part of the book also deals with the so called “Sleep paralysis” phenomenon. Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon during which an individual is unable to move during falling asleep or awakening, but is aware of their surroundings. The author provides the techniques of how to safely exit the Sleep paralysis state and to use it as an advantage to rise the Kundalini energy, to achieve high quality astral traveling.

As the book progresses to its final stages, attention is given to the fundamental Cosmic Law that does not approve the violence or killing of anything that was also given life and has the same right to be here.

This especially applies to eating tortured and killed animals and what such consumption does to our soul and aura. There is an invisible belief system known as Carnism that conditions people to eat certain animals. The author himself, as well as almost half a billion other people who are vegetarians or vegans, hold a strong disapproving approach against this false belief, which without any mercy, is harming animal sentient beings on a daily basis. He clearly acknowledges that eating tortured and killed animal flesh is not necessary for the human being to live a normal healthy life. The realization that people have when they are faced with the fact that they are actually eating sentient beings who are beings with consciousness, who have feelings and are capable of experiencing joy and pain just as we do, often causes a mental conflict inside of them.

Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. The same is with Carnism. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It creates a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn’t fit in with the core belief.

During a conversation on the Astral Plane, the author was informed by the extraterrestrial intelligence, that when a human being consumes animal flesh it gets infected by a DNA virus that causes more damage than is known. He was also told that the abusive ones are encouraging the human race to continue to torture and kill animals, so it will keep the human vibration low and compatible for exploitation. These abusive alien species feed on negative emotional energy and as long as human consciousness emits bad vibes, amplified by the auric energy into the environment, they are satisfied.

At the end of the day, everything runs of energy, and if the energy flow inside the human body is pure and uninterrupted, one can remain healthy and live a longer physical life. The longer the physical life, the higher the chances are for achieving self-realization.

Then the book continues with a given reference about the most determined and strongest spiritual seekers who have separated from the physical reality and entered a deep meditation that leads to ultimate liberation. The stories of the most powerful Yogis who are capable of staying in deep meditation for months or years, sitting completely still in some cave in the remote Himalayas are not rare at all.

People that live in Tibet, Nepal or India see these Yogis and adepts from time to time, when they exit their caves, to pass important knowledge or instructions to their disciples. An ordinary consciousness would perceive that these people are out of their mind, sitting in the freezing cold in some cave, doing nothing, staring in rocks, but this is far from the truth.

Most of these Yogis have mastered astral projection and they do not stay in those caves, only their physical bodies do.

For days, months or even longer, they are out of their bodies exploring the Astral Plane and beyond. Their psionic power is so strong that they can visit other solar systems and explore the Universe in their unique chosen ways. These adepts are the true keepers of the precious knowledge of Ancient Yoga. As they are preparing for Nirvana, they train their self-aware consciousness to utilize all of its seven hosts and to achieve constant multidimensional presence.

Second to last, the book elaborates on some aspects of the brilliant research of Dr. Masaru Emoto, who has proven that the human consciousness has an effect on the molecular structure of water.

Water is the most receptive of the four elements. He thought that water perhaps will respond to nonphysical events, so he set up a series of studies, applied mental stimuli, and photographed it with the dark field microscope.

The results were astonishing.

The experiments confirmed that the water is a “blueprint for our reality” and that emotional “energies” and “vibrations” are changing the physical structure of water. Further research confirmed that when human thoughts have a strong emotional charge, they are very powerful and can alter the physical structure of all four elements.

The final part of the book, points towards the conclusion that the human species are evolving at an accelerated rate. The human race is changing fast, children are being born with more active DNA and start to form triple DNA structure earlier.

Since the human DNA is also an antenna, it simply responds to the received galactic signals that are directing the DNA molecule to reconfigure itself.

That means that in the near future, more and more of the children, will be born with increased DNA potential. That will allow them to communicate telepathically, see auras, use telekinesis, achieve controlled out of body journeys and utilize many other abilities that are natural to the consciousness. This may take up to a hundred years to take full swing, but it is on the horizon and it will happen.

It will be just a matter of time before they will figure out what is going on in this solar system and see right through the alien deception. Many people believe that the so called Illuminati are the real problem, but that is not true. They are certainly part of the problem, part of the establishment that is enslaving the human population, but they do not run the show.

As more children are born with the same or similar gifts as a natural result of evolution that is currently happening, they will start to explore the idea to unite their energy. When this progresses to a sufficient level, their divine power will be able to resist the negative extraterrestrial alliance and to eventually stop them.

As the new children will use combined mental power to stop all the conflicts and end all suffering on this planet, their divine love will transform this world into living paradise.

The process has already begun.

Even if the powers at be, find a way to stop these books to reach the right people, they cannot stop the process. The information will still emerge inside the Matrix in one way or another.

The author is only one of many that incarnated here on Earth, more than four decades ago with a specific purpose to start the process.

The process will happen in stages. Soon many more, will take a physical form, to finalize the process.

I just can't forget all that BS story he produced just before 2012.

It was a fun read burgundia. The part of his story that stuck with me was how he was deceived by the ETs that he was interacting with. Just goes to show some ETs aren't anymore trustworthy then some humans.

Do you remember that the world was supposed to end in 2012 according to him? In a cataclysmic disaster.

I have no regrets with my involvement with Astral Walker. I didn't consider his words as set in stone nor did I agree with all he said or proposed. So no dissappointments as far as I am concerned.
His work was free and disinterested, lighthearted and with no arrogance. He had a story around which people gathered opening heart and soul in worldwide meditations from home or on sacred sites. I valued this. It made me travel to England, discover Avebury while  meeting with friends I never would have met otherwise. I shared some very good time meditating with them. It was all good.

The 2012 story didn't begin with Astral Walker. What he shared in Old PA was greatly influenced by all those that expressed themselves before him on the subject.
First time I heard about 2012 is through Drunvalo Melchisedek in his Flower of life books and then David Wilcock.
But before them the idea of 2012 being a significant date already began with Jose Arguelle back in 1987 during the Harmonic Convergence he organized. Later Terence Mac Kenna discussed it as well with his Time Wave zero and the I Ching as well as John Major Jenkins and Carl Calleman ( The Mayan Calendar ).

For some  2012 was considered as end times for others a transformation of Consciousness and the onset of a new age of peace.
For something new to arise the old must die.

For those of you that are on Facebook

The Awakening Books Preview

Dear friends,

thank you kindly for all your emails and interest. Well appreciated. Some of you asked for more information...therefore I have uploaded some random pages of the both books, that will become available around Dec 5th 17. This is all that I can give and all that will ever exist in the digital form. To complete them all - was a real challenge and it took 3 years. The entire project is self-funded and the printing cost is very expensive, since the books are fully illustrated and in color. I hope you will enjoy reading the books...they are quite "unusual and unique" so to speak, but they are well worth it. They show what has been hidden from all of us for a very long time.

Namaste, Pane

I ordered Pane Andov's new books .
I am well on my way to have read them and just wanted to say I appreciate the material it covers so far.
Loads of information on psyonic training from remote viewing to astral travel and  different stages of consciousness in Book 1.
Pane makes it a clear map to follow.
What he says resonated with some of my own spontanous experiences in that field  but for which I had no words or clear explanation for.
So now  as I was reading I was able to  say :" oh this is what it was , this is what happened there , that's how it works ...  ".
