absolutely the same, if not more. One has to truly look at oneself; it takes strength and courage to be honest and let go of certain aspects of ourselves. Attachment is a real thing. This is the way of the spiritual warrior. “A warrior acknowledges his pain but he doesn’t indulge in it. The mood of the warrior who enters into the unknown is not one of sadness; on the contrary, he’s joyful because he feels humbled by his great fortune, confident that his spirit is impeccable, and above all, fully aware of his efficiency. A warrior’s joyfulness comes from having accepted his fate, and from having truthfully assessed what lies ahead of him.” - Don Juan Matus (Carlos Castaneda) You may be disappointed to find that I don't put primary emphasis on some all-promising ultimate step-by-step method. There are reasons for this, which has to do with the very reason why so many attempt to come out of body but fail. From a young age, our minds have been conditioned to solve problems and carry out tasks by methodological approaches. This is great for mundane tasks, but when it comes to the transcendental and liberating experience of astral travel, we also need to transcend methods; more specifically, we need to transcend thinking. We rely too much on and seek step-by-step manuals for consciousness as if it's a microwave meal. The reality is that the intelligence of consciousness is beyond intellectual comprehension. What a mistake it is to assume that the mind has control over consciousness or that it can understand it through labels and language; the opposite is true; consciousness is always in control of the mind whether we have a false sense of it or not. It is in the very depths of transcendental consciousness that all spiritual truths are discovered.
