octor LEFEBUREs work is characterized by
being based on experimentation. Since 1945,
year upon year of experimentation led to the
creation of the prototypes of his machines. In his
laboratory in Gretz-Armainvillier (France), Dr
LEFEBURE used to manufacture the commercial
model of the Alternophone by himself. After a
while, ha had them made by a French company.
Dr LEFEBURE has always been very collaborative
with the people interested in his work, treating
them as partners and paying much attention to
their observations. Such observations have often
led to the discovery of new phosphenic
phenomena.
Today, thanks to the explanation given by Dr
LEFEBURE in his books, practitioners, through
personal involvement, contribute to the growth of
phosphenic research. Such research has led to the
emergence of new machines: the Rotating Seat,
the Cerebral Synchro-Cyclotron, the Gyrascope and
more.
United though solitary, phosphenists make a
geographically spread entity. Most of them have
never met, and may never meet. Thats the reason
why I looked for different ways of creating links
between phosphenists, for them to exchange their
experiences, discoveries and passion for
Phosphenism.
The forum, enabling many exchanges between
members is one of these links. This magazine is
another one. We hope that our network of
interesting information will prove a valuable
resource, thereby helping you to produce some
amazing experiences. We invite you in turn to
share your own experiences, thus creating an
exponential diffusion of Phosphenism.
With my best (phosphenic) thoughts for this New
Year 2007.
Thank you for your support.

WHAT IS THE FUTURE
OF PHOSPHENIC INITIATION?
A MACHINE FOR THE THIRD MILLENNIA
THE ASTRAL PROJECTOR OR CEREBRAL SYNCHRO-
CYCLOTRON
Leave your body, explore other dimensions, parallel
universes, and discover the huge potential of your mind
with the Astral Projector.
Dr LEFEBURE had already created the Cerebral
Cyclotron (see the book: "LExploration du Cerveau",
Mind Exploration). Developing his work, Daniel
STIENNON, created the Cerebral Synchrocyclotron.
Mind Machines
Mind Machines
is an American
word designating
technologies that
alter human
states of
consciousness.
In French
tradition, such
devices are
called Cerebral Activation Devices. The Alternophone or
Alternating Audio Device and the Gyrascope or
Kundalini Raising Machine are some of Dr LEFEBURE
creations.
WHAT IS THE PHOSPHENIC CENTER?
Its a modern machine offering a seeker an opportunity
for new discoveries. It enables an initiatory trip inside
ones own mind to discover unsuspected potentials.
The Phosphenic Machine is amazingly
transcendental. It is an Astral Projector or a Synchro-
Cyclotron. Its operation facilitates beautiful and rich
internal experiences without the need of long and
laborious ascetic practice. Its a machine stimulating
the growth of consciouness.
Some people who have used virtual reality simulators
such as flight simulators have reported spontaneous
out-of-body experiences and whirling sensations in the
spine together with an internal illumination. Such
experiences are understood in yogic traditions as the
experience of Kundalini. The experience comes from
the fact that the simulator gave them a sense of
movement thus stimulating their phenic system.
Attraction park rides, USA's Six Flags, ecstasy, drug
addiction, virtual helmets are really popular. Many
people like strong sensations. One can notice the
success of all extreme new sports like free-ride, sky
surf, skydiving, free-fall Its a modern and clumsy
way of seeking
to recreate our
ancestors
ceremonies of
initiation. This
interest in strong
sensation is
actually not
specific to our
times: we find it
in different forms
through out all
our history and in all civilisations. There are so many
examples that a whole book could hardly manage to
describe them all.
For example, for 2000 years the teenage boys of some
indigenous tribes living upon the pacific islands of
Vanuatu, have marked their coming of age and passage
into adulthood by attaching vines to their calves and
jumping from a tower tens of metres high. Bungee
jumping is a modern equivalent to this ancestral
initiatory ritual.
An other popular example is the scarf game in school
playgrounds. Children tighten scarves around their
neck until intoxication occurs. They call it the great
void. Some children have actually died during this
process.

Such practices echo the yogic breathing techniques.
Air deprivation (pneunophene) increases chemical and
electric reactions in the brain and can induce
hyperconscious states.
Daniel STIENNON, who was Dr LEFEBURE assistant for
7 years, spent almost 10 years developing the Cerebral
Synchro-Cyclotron. It is such a powerful machine that
he had to find volunteers familiar enough with
managing different states of consciousness, to
calibrate its performances. Who could be those
people?
The best subjects for the test were hard drug users.
Many reported that the machine gave them a richer and
better quality of internal experience than they had been
getting from using drugs. Their contribution to the test
permitted a calibration of the machine from level 1 to 7.
Level 1 and 2 are appropriate for adolescents and
sensitive persons, levels 3, 4, and 5 for those in search
of powerful sensations and level 6 and 7 for curing
addictions to drugs.
The machine may be viewed as a direct response to
the exponential use of drugs on our planet and its
dramatic consequences on our present and our future.
Because it offers an initiation separated from any
religious dogma, the PHOSPHENIC CENTER is
somewhat of a revolution in the world of initiatory and
spiritual practice.
No guru, no master, just a technician/instructor who
knows how to use the machine. The experience is
guaranteed within 3 minutes of use, even for sceptics
and hardcore materialists.
At last science meets spirituality.
Physics meet metaphysics.
Overtaking the laws of cause and effect.
Exploring the subjective world.
Without drugs, training, master or guru, without laying
of hands or dogma, the results are immediate.
Yes, it is now possible, with the futuristic PHOSPHENIC
MACHINE, fruit of the extraordinary discoveries on the
phosphenes by Dr Francis LEFEBURE.
This revolutionary device can transport, within a few
minutes, any believer or sceptic into higher planes of
consciousness and provide them with the experiences
that have been seeked by all philosophical and
religious mystics.
The Phosphenic Machine is a serious project based on
cerebral physiology, i.e. based on real science.
We will not describe here its principles because it
would be way too complex. However you can our
website www.phosphenism.com for further discussion
on this subject.
When using the Cerebral Synchro-Cyclotron, you are
comfortably seated on a rotating chair inside a flight
simulation-like cabin, without helmet, or any other
physical contact (captors, suction cups). You will
hear sounds and see lights and then let yourself be
transported by the natural neurological phenomena that
will take you on a memorable trip within the unknown
realms of your consciousness.
T
oday is sunday and we are going to experiment
with the famous Phosphenic Machine or cerebral
Synchro-Cyclotron. We are a party of students of
gyroscopic meditation and all fluent in the works of
Doctor Lefebure.
We all have experimented this awakening though to
various degrees as some among us practice up to five
hours a day. How do they do that ? Well there is a man
who is retired, another who is a yoga teacher or
another that is on a sabbatical... Another thing we have
in common is that we all have several years of
experience with the practice of Gyroscopic Meditation.
One of us has started practice in 1981 after meeting Dr
Lefebure and has been practicing 1 or 2 hours a day
since !
As the narrator of this story, I would like to relate this
exceptional day that will always remain in our
memories. Some of us even came from foreign
countries responding to Daniel's invitation.
We are all gathered together, bonded by the quest of
the awakening of Kundalini.
We are welcomed by a doctor and by Claire, research
scientist at the CNRS.
It is with a great inner excitement that we head for the
room where the machine is located. As soon as we
see the "phosphenic machine", our eyes start to glitter
with excitement. I cannot describe all the options
available on the machine but I can say that no science
fiction writer ever imagined such an apparatus. We feel
like children in front of an enormous toy (that would not
fit in someone's living room) as we are briefed on how
to use the machine. Once this is done, I offer to be the
first to experiment the new adventure of the fantastic
Phosphenic Machine of the School of Doctor Lefebure.
I sit down on a comfortable armchair and put the safety
belt on (of a similar type as the ones used in cars). The
machine starts, white lights are switched on as well
as colored lights. A disk of 4 meters of diameter
forming a complex geometrical structure starts to
rotate. Sounds come out of the speakers surrounding
the machine. A metal cylinder made of a similar
material as the detection metals used in divination
starts to rotate around me. After a few seconds it
seems the tube "sweeps" through my aura. Then, the
seat set on level 22 starts rotating. I close my eyes.
After rotating for three minutes at a constant speed, the
seat stops.
I keep my eyes closed, attentive to the sensations. For
maybe a couple of seconds, nothing happens. Then,
with an incredible strength and brutality, I feel as if I
am "torn" from my body.
I then feel my double taken by an amazing yet very
pleasant force, as if I was wrapped in a feeling of joy.
The sensation is very powerful and, after a short
pause, while I think it is going to stop, the sensation of
being "torn from my body" comes back fully to the
extend that I think someone has turned the machine on
again. As soon as this new sensation "vanishes" I am
surprised by an incredibly powerful and majestic surge
of kundalini. I not only perceive this pillar of energy
rising through my body but I also feel as if I am but a
ball of extremely condensed energy.
I will not describe any more, as I believe it is better for
one to discover such an amazing thing through
experience.
It is after a few minutes of observation that I open my
eyes again and get up calmly.
I feel an brilliant clarity of mind, all my intellectual
functions are activated. The much sought after search
for Kundalini, mysterious force, is obtained without any
effort and with all the benefits of the practice.
It is truly unbelievable, only three minutes open infinite
possibilities of interplanetary travel with a fusion of
consciousness and many other beautiful
experiences...
Such a joy...
This is truly the initiation of the future.
Thank you Daniel, in the name of all of us!

BUILDING
A 2 METER GYRASCOPE
EXPERIMENT 1
To build the Gyrascope you will need:
1 - Six 100x50 cm polystyrene boards (2mm thick), a
pot of mat black paint and a brush, a roll of kitchen
silver foil, a roll of double sided tape, a 50cm wide and
8mm thick board of plywood, a caulking gun (for glue
cartridge) and a cartridge of polystyrene adhesive, a
power drill with reversible action and variable speed, a
100x10mm bolt with two washers and two 8mm nuts,
a 150watt spot light, a scalpel, a ruler, a pencil, a tape
measure, scissors, a wood file, a jigsaw, a 17mm
spanner and a 17mm (minimum) drill bit and a tube of
Loctite glue. All of these materials can easily be found
in a DIY shop.
2 - To create the blades of the Gyrascope, cut the
polystyrene board diagonally with the scalpel. Make a
slow cut to prevent the polystyrene from tearing. Mind
your fingers.
3 - Cut the ends of each of the halves (blades) so the
sides have the same length. Make the same operation
on the 5 other boards of polystyrene.
4 - Paint 6 blades with black mat paint.

5 - With double sided tape stick the silver foil on the
other 6 blades. Use the tape on each of the 3 sides of
the blades and one more length in the centre. Apply a
length of silver foil on top. It does not matter if it
wrinkles as this will produce extra reflections. Cut the
surplus foil at the sides with scalpel or scissors.
6 - Apply the polystyrene adhesive on the lateral sides
of the blades and stick them together. Apply the
adhesive upon the whole length to solidify the whole
piece. One cartridge will be sufficient for the whole
process.
7 - Glue the top side of the blades. Use your fingertip
to spread it well and improve contact.
8 - If necessary glue the under side of wings too, I did
not do it on mine because it was not needed.
9 - With the jigsaw, cut the plywood in a 50cm
diameter circle. Again mind your fingers.
10 - In the centre of the disc drill a 17mm minimum hole.
I did one with a 14mm drill bit and I had to file the hole
to leave enough space for the bolt.
11 - The driving axle is made of a 100x10mm bolt with
two 8mm nuts and washers.
Warning: The width of the bolt should not be bigger
than the width of the plywood board because it would
then be impossible to adequately lock the driving axle
onto the board.

12 - With the file, finish shaping the centre hole so it fits
the bolt perfectly. Be as precise as you can, leaving no
possible wobble of the bolt. Because any initial small
wobble will increase with time and the bolt could end
up turning on itself.
13 - Fit the bolt in the centre hole and glue it with the
caulking gun adhesive. Feel free to force the bolt in
place, maybe banging it. Let the glue dry.
Warning: It is this same bolt which will transmit the
rotational force to the rest of the device, so pay
adequate attention to this fitting process.
14 - With super glue, stick a washer to the bottom side
of the disc and the other washer and bolt to the top
side of the disc. Put some glue too at the bottom of the
threaded rod before locking everything with the 17mm
spanner. Let the glue dry.
15 - Cover the bottom side of the plywood disc with the
caulking gun adhesive.
16 - Stick the board to the blades. Be generous with the
glue on the edges of the plywood disc.
17 - Glue all around where the plywood contacts the
blades, smoothing the applied glue with your
fingertips.
18 - The construction of the Gyrascope is complete.
19 - This picture shows the details on how to fit the drill
to the ceiling.
Warning: Be sure to firmly secure the drill with 2 or 3
different attachments. Indeed the force of rotation is
really strong for such a large Gyrascope and if the drill
is not properly fixed it could fall, particularly when
starting.Check the attachment of the drill on a regular
basis.

20 - The Gyrascope is now mounted in place.
21 - Because it takes lots of space, I placed my
Gyrascope in my attic under the roof where it wont
bother anyone. I placed a fan for the summer and a
sleeping bag for the winter to ensure my comfort during
one hour training sessions. Because of its great
dimensions the Gyrascope works horizontally.
The user lies down, 30 to 40 cm underneath the
Gyrascope. The entire field of vision is then stimulated
by the rotating blades. The eyes loose any fixed point
of reference. Once the eyes are closed, the gyrating
phosphene takes up the whole of the field of vision.
22 - Take a 10-15 cm diameter cardboard circle and
cover it in silver foil before mounting it in the centre of
the Gyrascope.
23 - Take a 10-15 cm diameter cardboard circle and
cover it in silver foil before mounting it in the centre of
the Gyrascope. Place a 150 Watt spot light to illuminate
the gyroscope, directing it towards the centre.
On the picture you can see the Gyropulsar with the
Alternophone above it coupled with the Mantratron at
the back. In front of the spot light there is a stereo
headset with a time switch on each side, one is set to
1 min and the other to 3 min.
The headset is plugged to the Alternophone/Mantatron.
The 150 Watts spot light is on as soon as the
Gyroscope runs. Theres a 60 Watts bulb linked to the
Gyropulsar which turns on as soon as the Gyroscope
stops. The third bulb is only used for setting up the
space at the beginning and the end of a session.

24 - The installation of the Gyrascope is now over.
25 - It is also possible to stick some coloured paper on parts of the
blades.
TRIAL TESTIMONIES
Sessions with this type of
Gyrascope are really intense.
Because of the length of the blades,
all of the field of vision is moving.
Theres no fixed point of reference for
the eye to hold on to. Therefore we
loose all of our usual frames of
reference, and everything seems to
turn.
I remember that after a few days of
daily practice, in the middle of a
session.
I felt my body separating in two from
the bellybutton. I felt a great void in
this area while the top part of my
body was progressively parting from
the bottom part of my body. Then
everything went slowly back into
place.
Very soon I had out of body
experiences with my limbs.
Other experiences were happening
at night. Initially, flying dreams, and
then later, conscious dreams..

Page 11
Driving 2 hours daily, I noticed that the vibrations of the
car have a noticeable effect on the vibration I usually
feel at the base of my spine. I thought it would be
interesting to fit a small vibrator under the driving seat
to amplify this vibration.
In order to create a vibrating seat I ordered a small
aero-model engine and a power cable that plugs into
the cigarette lighter. (Photo 1).
I attached a pluming clip on a small aluminium sheet
and I used a small bolt as the mass responsible for
creating vibration once the engine is powered. (Photo
2).
Naturally, everything was strongly held together in
order to support the vibrations.
I attached the engine onto the aluminium sheet with
the collar and a threaded rod. I fitted the nut onto the
engine axis. With the mass being off balance it will
induce the vibration when the engine rotates at the
right speed. (Photo 3).
The whole thing is attached underneath the seat. The
aluminium sheet slides under the seats springs,
transmitting the vibration as soon as the engine is
plugged in the cigarette lighter.
I chose an engine with a 1440 rpm speed rotation
which is equivalent to a frequency of 1/24th of second.
Indeed I followed Dr Lefebures advice in his book
called Thinking at a rhythm of 1/6th of a second in
which he says that the 1/6th of a second rhythm (as
well as its superior and inferior octaves) have very
strange effects that are incredible and almost
impossible to describe.
I was therefore naturally inclined to use the 1440 rpm
speed which is a multiple of the 1/6th of a second
rhythm.
The vibrations are now extremely pleasant and
efficient. They are certainly more regular and wider
than the original ones of the car.
The installation is now complete and ready to work.
Just plug or unplug the cigarette lighter to start the
vibrations under the seat. (Photo 4).

t
he project took longer than initially planned but I am
now at the terminal stage of the construction of my
rotating seat.
It took time because there were a few technical
problems to resolve such as the correct choice of
engine, determination of the torque, rotational speed
and choice of the transmission system: notched
pulley and chain at the end of the construction.
This project is reserved for well equipped DIY experts.
Youll definitely need a drill press. I even had to use a
lathe to redo the boring of the pinions and a press to
cut some pieces.
But the reward was there from the first trials!
During construction, for the first test, I sat on the seat
for 10 seconds only to check if the system pinion +
chain was working properly and to my great surprise
as soon as I stopped the engine and the seat started
to rotate more slowly, I felt my first experience of the
gyrophene: it felt like if my body was rotating in the
opposite direction of the rotation of the seat.
It was a surprising and very pleasant sensation that I
sought to recreate later on. That was a first, most
satisfying test.
I then added a second engine on the axes of the seat
which activates a 1/6th of a second vibration. Moving a
piece of lead, I can change the intensity of the
vibrations, and I can have higher frequencies by
moving the pinions. I can also change the speed of
rotation of the seat with different pinions. Its a cheaper
solution than the electronic speed modulation of the
engine.
The 2 engines : vibration + rotation are started with a
remote control.
I finished the construction a few days ago and I
practice every day on the seat before doing my
exercises with the vibrating table and the Gyrascope.
Within such an environment sensations are prolific.
The best moment remains the triggering of the
gyrophene: a unique sensation of body rotation
After a few days of practice, it feels like the gyrophene
accelerates even though the rotation of the seat
remains the same.

Ive replaced the wheels of the chair with
rubber ends to add a bit of give, ameliorating
the vibration of the whole thing.
This shows a detailed view of the two engines, for rotation
and vibration.
This is a detailed view of the electrically controlled section
under the seatl.
Page 14
EFFECTS THAT WERE EXPERIENCED
I was so impatient to try the rotating seat that as soon
as I received the pinions I immediately wanted to do
so. The first trials were amazing.
I first set the machine a bit randomly. I let the chair turn
for about 10 to 20 seconds then stopped to observe the
sensations. I promise you I wasnt disappointed : As
soon as the seat stopped I felt my etheric body turning
in the opposite direction. It made a few turns, a
sensation called the gyrophene.
It was the first time I could feel my etheric body turn
around me with such precision while my physical body
was still. It was a strange but pleasant sensation.
From then on I had a single goal in mind, finishing the
turning chair to delve into these sensations.
The light bulb above the seat is
plugged onto the Gyropulsar.
Once completed, the chair
has been placed in front of
a Gyrascope to enable the
association of the rotating
phosphene with the
gyrophene.
Page 15
Melt 500g of lead and pour
it in a square mould.
For isolation, it is possible to set the table on rubber rings.
The table in now finished. As I have used it for several weeks I can
testify to its efficiency thanks to its 1/6th of a second vibratione.
To change the exercise, it is possible as well
to add the Chi-Machine on the vibrating
table.
It is this mass that will create the
vibration as it turns around the axles
of the engine.
Solidly fix the engine on the table with
4 bolts.
Mount the table on 4
silent-blocs to facilitate the
vibration.
DESIGNING
A VIBRATING TABLE
EXPERIMENT 4
by Alain
(alias Alain 69)
While I was lying down underneath my Gyrascope, I
felt like adding a 1/6th of a second vibration for my
whole body.
TO MAKE THE VIBRATING TABLE, YOULL NEED:
- A board, approximately 2 x 0.60 m.
- 4 silent-blocs.
- An electric 360 rpm rotating engine.
- About 500g of lead.
- A hinge to fix on the engine axles.
- Rubber rings.

BUILDING
A ROTATING SOUND GENERATOR
EXPERIMENT 5
A
phosphenist, to whom we are very grateful,
gave Daniel a 12 channel sound and light
sequencer and its matching speakers. Daniel
passed it on to me last summer.
Fixing the speakers on a circular 1m diameter sheath, I
could then knock together a little rotating sound
generator.
I havent developed the light aspect of the sequencer
because I think the Gyrascope has stronger effects
than a turning light. For the visual aspect I already had
another idea which is developed in the next
experiment.

RESULTS OF THE FIRST TRIALS
1 - The first trials have been very surprising.
2 - After plugging the CD player on the RCA entry of the device, I set
the volume and speed.
3 - Its a very easy machine to use.
4 - Its interesting how the movement of the sound rotating around the
head can lead the thoughts in a rotating pattern without effort ; just by
letting go and naturally following the sound which turns around you.
5 - It becomes really easy to apply the different exercises of rotation
of thoughts described by Dr Lefebure.
6 - The different speed settings affect the variation of the speed of
rotation of thoughts, and it is very noticeable.
The complete installation.
Connecting the two extremities of the sheath to form
a circle.
For the first trials the speakers are supported on 2 chairs.
The speakers support is fixed to the ceiling using plumbers clips for
50 mm diameter pipes.
I connected a CD player to the sound generator with a
3.5mm/RCA jack so it is now possible to play any CD on the
rotating sound machinel.

MY PERSONAL
PHOSPHENIC MACHINE
EXPERIMENT 6
by Alain
(alias Alain 69)
Im going to change my turning and
vibrating Seat into a Personal
Phosphenic Machine.
I fixed 2 pieces of plywood on the
armrests.
Small rubber buffers will be used to soften the
vibrationsr.
The PC shelf rests on the armrests. I added a metallic bar to strengthen the
back of the chair and the armrestss.
I painted the armrests and the PC shelf.
I fixed the Shelf on the armrests with butterfly bolts. These are the supports for the PC, they are made of rubber to
dampen vibrations and brackets to make sure the PC is stable
during rotations.
Page 19
These are video glasses to watch the virtual
Gyrascope during the rotation. The effect is
equal to a 40 16/9 panoramic screen with a
1,000,000 pixels resolution (more than
sufficient).
The effect of these glasses is impressive : it is
like being in front of a giant cinema screen with
some back space. The screen fills all the field
of vision.
During rotations, the PC is closed to avoid
any accidente.
I doubled the back of the chair for better comfort
and support.
Here are the details on how I
attached this second support to the
back of the chair.
Setting the seat belts for securing yourself to
the seat.
This shows the virtual Gyrascope PC software with the connecting cables to the glasses
on the left.
I installed the batteries for the glasses on the
left of the shelf unit and on the right the remote
control for the chair.
The PC is placed on the shelf and is
blocked by small felt stamps. It must
have an S-Video output for plugging in
the glasses using a S-Video/RCA
adapter.
I fixed a headrest on top of the back of the chair.
This shows the wiring of the electric
cables that will be linked to the
programmer of rotations. It will then

NOTICABLE EFFECTS
Imagine youre sitting on the chair, you put the video glasses on, fasten your seat belt, and there you go for a
multi sensational amazing trip. First of all you close your eyes. Youre in the dark in total silence. You just let go
for a moment
Suddenly you feel a light sensation that gently spreads in you whole body. Then theres a sound that starts to
rotate around you. You feel that your body is starting to rotate. You can now open your eyes and you see a huge
spiral luminous and colourful disk turning in front of you. Its an amazing show. The disc is all that you can see
and it really looks huge. Blinded by all these colours, you forget that the chair is turning. But once the chair stops
turning, under the effects of the gyrophene, it feels like everything starts to rotate around you but in the opposite
direction. This sensation of inverse rotation makes you close your eyes. And you see a huge phosphene that
fills up your whole field of vision. It looks like a cyclone rotating above you.
You open your eyes and the huge spiral, colourful and luminous disc appears again. The colours are blinding and
beautiful. The disc rotation is regular.
As the chair starts rotating again your vision gets blurred. You close your eyes and the cyclonic phosphene is
still rotating.
From the beginning your thoughts are rotating around you led by the turning sounds, and they are now totally in
phase with the rotation of the phosphene and the gyrophene.
Your senses are now saturated with sensations.
Sounds whirling around you, a huge whirl in front of your eyes and a vibration which starts from the bottom of
the chair and slowly rises alongside your spinal column and fills you up completely. And suddenly.
A force that rises rises
VIBRATION
Intensity of vibration.
Frequencies of vibrations.
Manual start/stop of the vibrations.
ROTATIONS
Direction of rotation.
Speed of rotation.
Automatic programming of stop/turn periods of
the chair.
ROTATING SOUND
Setting of the sound volume.
Speed of the sound rotation.
Choice of sound source.
Manual start/stop of the turning sound generator.
GYRASCOPE
Choice between 5 different types of blades.
Direction of the rotation of the blades.
Blade rotation speed.
Duration of rotation of the blades.
Contrast and luminosity of the video glasses.
Manual start/stop of the virtual gyrascope
software.
One can combine one, two, three or all of those
previous elements for a determined length of time
for a training session.
All of the controls are centralized either on the PC
or on the remote control.
Once those initial choices are made, the machine
works on its own and will automatically stop
thanks to the programming.
Therefore, one can fully concentrate on the
different exercises of the rotation of thoughts and
change the settings or stop the session at any
point.

Details of the different possible settings
The construction of the seat is
now over; I placed it in my attic
underneath the turning sound
generator. This is my New
Personal Phosphenic Machine.

ALTERNOPHONE CONNECTED TO A
STROBOSCOPIC DECODER
EXPERIMENT 7
O
ne day, I had a great surprise as I tried
connecting the Alternophone to the
Stroboscopic Decoder while doing my
exercises with the Phosphenic Lamp.
The Alternophone emitted a stroboscopic signal as
well. I therefore kept on practicing in this way and
results are very beneficial as well as interesting.
I received simultaneously a luminous flash and a click
on the right side and then on
the left side. Reversing the
headset can dissociate the
sound from the luminous
signal. You can therefore hear
the click on the left ear while
seeing the light on the right
eye. You can use two half ping
pong balls on your eyes and
the perceptions become really
beautiful.
You can set the Alternophone
on different speeds so they
coincide with the various brain
frequencies Beta, Alpha, Delta,
and Theta.
The Alternophone really is an
amazing device which has
many applications and enables
beautiful experiences.
The Alternophone which is connected to the
Stroboscopic Decoder is set to 3 seconds on each
side. You can add the repetition of a mantra or a prayer,
while the Mantatron is set to the rhythm of 1/6th of a
second. This triggers amazing experiences ! You can
vary the rhythms and find the ones that produce mental
images automatically.
Id like to add that I also use a small vibrator placed at
the base of my spine. It is plugged in the Alphalum and
has a rhythm close to the Alternophones.
Because of the alternation between the clicks and the
luminous signals and the possibility of regulating their
intensity with the stroboscopic decoder, practice is
different than the one I had mentioned previously in the
website in the testimony section (Ganzfeld effect).
Using ping-pong balls or with your eyes closed, the
intensity of the luminous signal is increased.

TESTIMONY
EXPERIENCES
by Yannick
(Suisse)
INTRODUCTION
JI would like to share some
testimony in order to encourage
new practitioners. That is why
Im going to relate the unfolding
of my experiences through the
practice of Phosphenism.
As you will later find out I am
quite a novice in the world of
Phosphenism. The
phenomenon and experiences
that Im going to tell you about
are subjective and honestly
described without pretension.
Ill always try to remain as
close as possible to my memories without showing off, and I wont be getting too personal. The efficacy of
Phosphenism is such that my experiences, which may sound amazing, are relatively inconsequential when
compared with the experiences of advanced practitioners.
Im 26 and I work in the Swiss administration. Ive been interested in spiritual science since I was 16 but I had
never actually tried any particular practice, nor did I understand them. I discovered Phosphenism in 2003, and
believe me, it was an amazing experience.
During one year I practiced for half an hour every now and then. Later I decided to practice a bit more rigorously:
half an hour at midday and 45 to 60 min in the evenings, with a few empty phases. Results were more than
encouraging.
But it is through following a training course that I really found the driving force to practice on a regular basis.
Many thanks to Daniel STIENNON, who enabled this progression. Since the course, I alternate phases of daily 3
h intensive training sessions and periods where I simply maintain the rhythms going. Once one has experienced
the taste of a genuine initiatory practice, it becomes impossible to stop without feeling lousy about it !!!!
SO HERE ARE THE DETAILS OF MY EXPERIENCES, AS RECORDED IN MY DREAM DIARY
Page 25
OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCES IN DREAMS
a) This is a slightly oppressing dream. A man dressed
in black is chasing me. Im in a kind of rounded building
with floors as if they are perforated in a way that
enables me to see the floors above me, as well as the
lower floors. I cannot hide because everything is
round.
I realise that Im dreaming. I jump, trying to reach the
floor below. By some miracle I change into a woman
during the jump. Ive made some time and distance
from the man in black, but hes going to arrive soon.
The light is coming from above so I hide in the shadow
close to the floor. Whenever I wish it, I can become
invisible.
Hes coming; I had not seen him come down. I run.
Theres a corridor, I run inside it. Hes waiting for me.
Im calm. I stop. I stand in front of him. Hes got a hood
over his face. He doesnt move. I ask him: Who are
you? No answer. I ask again, without success. Hes
not moving. I walk back. A detail has changed, theres
a black cow, standing beside a chasm. It feels like it
is linked with my former attacker. I push the cow into
the chasm.
This oppressing person was a recurrent actor in my
dreams. I havent met him again since this dream with
the cow. Its a purification of my subconscious. I had
undergone less than 3 months of practice when this
dream occurred.
a) Im with a group of friends. We are walking on the
edges of the forest of the village where I was born.
Theres a jolt. Nothing feels wrong in my dream state.
A few seconds later theres a second jolt coupled with
the sound of an impressive storm rumbling. Im sitting
on the floor felling like Im partially blended with the
concrete.
Im now in my flat with the same friends. One of them
is unconscious. G. is missing. We are wondering why.
We try to wake up N., though without success. We
look at each other with surprise, but without worry.
The scene alters again. Im now alone with A. We are
in an unknown place, in a room with a strange
architecture. Theres a big glass window. I cant see
whats outside. People are coming towards us; they
are really small, a bit strange. When they are close
they spray us with their water guns.
The scene is changing again. Im still with A. We are
flying at high velocity in a sort of tunnel. We each go
through some kind of window that bursts into pieces.
In front of us there are 3 little beings that we met
earlier. The tunnel is narrowing. We go into a little hole
in the wall. The tunnel is really, really small. We can
see the exit. We land flat on our bellies in a restaurant
kitchen. Everything looks very modern. Someone takes
us to a table. A very normal and nice woman is talking
to us. She ends up giving us a job. I look through the
window and it feels like Im in a scene of the 5th
element.
Page 26
This dream happened during the same period. Even
though it feels ordinary, it left me with a strong
impression I could not forget. Something disturbing
that I could not explain. It was as vivid as my first lucid
dreaming.
DREAMS RELATED TO THE PRACTICE OF
PHOSPHENISM
a) Im on my balcony and I look around. I can see a
group of persons below that seem to be organising
something. I approach them. I jump over the banister of
the 12th floor down to the ground. I get closer to the
people I targeted while flying. Its a group of Dr
LEFEBUREs students. A 30 years old man
spontaneously offers me to join the group.
A child, a little girl, is showing us how to practice
correctly the lateral sways. While doing them I
experience things I had never felt before. After a period
of practice the group moves and my dream becomes
ordinary again.
After this dream of initiation I knew exactly what the
correct energetic lines for synchronisation were.
During the dream, I could feel a vibration which
connected my temples. Furthermore, the child who
showed us the technique in the dream also
accompanied me in several other dreams.
a) - This next dream of initiation
happened on the same night. The
same group of people gather on
the other side of a door. People are
either alone or in pairs. We are in a
big park. Theres grass surrounded
by beautiful trees. I cant see
further than that. Couples and
single persons visit in turn the
school teacher who was with the
little girl earlier. Im with the little
girl near a bench. Its my turn to
visit the teacher next, Im the last
one. The little girl signals me not to
worry. Im going. Im getting closer
to a tree. Notes of music are stuck
on it. The school teacher asks me
to vibrate some mantras. I do it. I
float and get closer to the matching
notes. Im doing well.
b) At the end of the exercise we
thank each other and I leave. Im
still in the park and a normal dream
ensues.
What is surprising here is that several experiences can
fit into one another. I dont know if the initiation of this
dream continued in the normal dream but I recall
gaining consciousness as if I were walking through a
door (which is quite symbolic).
c) I had a few more dreams related to the practice of
Phosphenism. I saw my etheric body standing near my
bed as I was sleeping. I could only see its nadis and
energetic plexuses. I also dreamed of the
pronunciation of the OM mantra and of the colour of the
point of concentration.
ASTRAL TRAVEL (OR OUT OF BODY DREAMS IN
SUPERIOR REALMS)
a) Im at work but all the furniture of my office is
outdoors. I realise that Im dreaming. My body is on a
chair and I fly off. Im translucent. Im teasing my
colleagues who dont seem to pay much attention to
the fact that Im gliding around them.
After a short while B is fed up and goes back inside. I
follow her. She grabs a hair dryer and tries but fails to
push me away. She runs away discouraged.
I decide to go out. I feel strange. My facial muscles are
contracting. My lips are folding back on themselves. I
meet my apprentice who is going to pass her exams.
She hasnt got time to help me.
THE MAN-LIGHT
Page 27
I decide to go back home. I take the road towards the
train station but I cant fly. My double, (astral body), is
submitted to more and more of the same tensions as
before. I sit in the middle of a busy street. No one pays
attention to me. A roughneck kicks me lightly as he
passes by. I make him flee and start walking again.
I wonder at what time my bus is leaving because Im
still far from the station and I havent checked the time.
Tensions start again and I have to lie down. An old
woman starts enquiring about my well-being. She is
worried. I talk to her a bit and she tells me her name.
The discomfort is strong. Suddenly theres a terribly
strong buzzing noise, like the one from the back ground
of the gyroscopic CD, track1. Im strongly aware that Im
dreaming. I tell myself that I dont have to suffer.
Subsequently, I take off and fly back down to earth at
tremendous speed. I dont stop. Everything is
trembling. The sound is still there, alternating.
I find myself floating in the cosmos. A symbol
representing Ajna is floating in space. It appears at the
same time as the buzzing sound and as it fades out, a
blue luminous circle appears in place of the symbol.
I m still totally conscious. Im floating in the mist of
really amazing sparkling colours. They are terribly
bright, though I have no discomfort. The contrast with
the dark is magical. I can see nebulas and vortexes.
Giant spermatozoon-like beings (100 times the size of
my astral body), translucent and lightly orange are
floating nonchalantly. I dont have a double any more.
Im floating. I decide to change zone and enter one of
these vortexes. Im in the 80s. My father is waiting for
me on the platform of the underground as I get down
from the wagon. Im still fully conscious. I greet him
and ask him what he is doing here. He says that he is
waiting for his partner. She is a bit further with a pram
in which my young avatar sleeps with his little brother.
My mother is with his godfather who is telling her
goodbye. I get closer to the pram to see better, and the
dream looses its stability. I turn around on myself like
some authors suggest to do in such a scenario but it
doesnt work at all. Therefore I decide to change zone
before it is too late. I take off and plunge through the
ground. Im in space flying at an incredible speed. It is
a stunning sensation. One of the large beings I was
talking about earlier is passing really close to me. Its
so huge. Its beautiful. I had never seen such amazing
colours.
I visit another beautiful zone which is not so active. I
leave at high speed. I see a tremendous amount of
images. I know I could stop but Im not tempted. I keep
cruising forward amidst the colours.
After a while I feel that the dream is ending.
This was one of the most intense out of body dreams
I have ever experienced. Im not a specialist but
according to one of Dr Lefebures books, (The 7
notches of Out of Body Experience), this is the 6th.
b) Most of the experiences occurred after exercises I
did while falling asleep.
For example, I could mention an experience I had
regarding the luminous aspect of Kundalini. One night
as I was falling asleep, I visualised a red dot on my
base charka and another one on the crown charka. I
experienced consciousness during sleep : a luminous,
very fast and ascendant current made me change
plane in a deluge of vibrations. This kind of
phenomenon happened several times even in dreams
that initially began normally. This experience either
was followed by an ecstatic phase or a normal
dream.
Within ecstatic experiences I was blessed by several
visits through the High Astral. According to Gilles
GABLAINs book The Man of Light, the High Astral
plane is about ecstatic sensations. The first time I
awoke within it, I was caught in such a powerful
descending spiral that I called for help. I actually woke
up several times anxious that Daniel might have heard
my calls
Since the course, my experiences are clearer. These
last days I recall at least one experience per week.
This is the result of 2 to 3 hours of daily practice and
Id like to thank my partner for her patience and
understanding.
Page 28
NIGHT ENCOUNTERS
a) Im now going to talk about a
sensitive subject upon which Im not
going to go into too much detail. I
occasionally met Daniel and Dr
LEFEBURE in the astral plane. I also
met people that I did not necessarily
know.
On such occasions I was taught
exercises. We took part in tasks
which purpose is still unknown to me
today. We occasionally had fun. One
night we were watching a kind of
slide show of faces in 3D. On another
occasion we were watching a show,
and on another one we were by the
bed of a sick person ; I was told off
because I had a negative gesture at
the end of our meeting. I had not
realised that it was an actual
experience rather than a mundane
dream.
Experiences are facts. They can be
overlooked on account of their
subtlety. To begin with, experiences
of coherent astral activity are mixed
up within the ordinary dream state,
and later on the distinction becomes
sharper.
SENSATIONS DURING THE WAKING
STATE
Here is a testimony of what can
happen during training.
a) I came back from work tired and
with little motivation. As I stopped the
car I noticed that my double had a
backing movement like if I had braked
too suddenly. Therefore I decided to
do a short session: Tensions,
Breathing, and Ocular convenrgence.
After a difficult start, Im experiencing
a real pleasure while doing the
Tensions. Sensations expand as I
release the tensions, as if my limbs
were expanding.
Then, I feel a winding sensation in my midsection. It
quickly turns into a sensation of consciousness
expansion. My visual chaos turns into the cosmos and
Im taken away: the sensation of speed is strange and
powerful.
As I feel a tension in my whole body, I find myself in
the cosmos again in the shape of a sphere. Im literally
Page 29
taken from left to right in a rotation on myself: a most
agreeable sensation, like on a merry-go-round. My
double is nothing like it usually is. It is now a sphere
with the top and bottom slightly flattened.
After enjoying this state for a while, I started to
practice square breathing, together with an undulation
with the point of concentration. While my double is
winding on a 2 seconds rhythm, Im paying attention to
the breathing sensations at the level of the epiphysis
where horizontal channels of the nose meet the vertical
channels of the throat. With each retention of breath,
my double is ascending. It feels like Im taken away by
a multicoloured river of light. Because of my relaxed
state and positive state of mind, my breathing is
particularly slow.
After some time, to end the session, I decide to do
some ocular convergence. After three phosphenes, a
sensation emerges from my perineum. As I pay
attention to it, the sensation unfolds and rises through
my spine to my navel where it stops. I do one more
phosphene and the sensation gets stronger. I
straighten my body so my back is as straight as
possible and I redirect my attention to the perineum.
There I feel a kind of knot. As I focus my attention, I
hear a small bang and the sensation starts to rise
again. I see lights and my whole double is wriggling,
as if the energy was rising from the base through the
whole body. These sensations become stronger and
stronger. I do another phosphene. After a small
snapping sound, my Hara starts to rotate. The energy
rises to my shoulder blades and stops there. I focus on
this point and after a small snapping sound the energy
rises again. Then everything gets carried away. I see
glitter which rises in vertical streams in my visual
field.
This has nothing to do with my usual visual chaos. Im
talking here about myriads of minuscule particles
rising into infinity. In the background there are all those
beautiful colours and a sense of very powerful energy.
It feels like Im sucked out of myself.
The energy rises to my neck where an energy centre
is activated. It feels like my skull literally fills up with
energy.
Sensations are stronger and stronger. So is the light.
The glitter changes into threads. Im chasing for details
and I notice that Im observing the back of my spine, as
if I was behind myself watching my back.
At this point, the phenomenon is reversed. The glitter
starts to move downwards and my chakras start to
rotate one after the other. I can see my aura with my
eyes closed.
As I think that the experience is ending, I feel a
tremendous sensation of speed: Im then going through
a tunnel. I find myself floating in emptiness amongst
huge geometrical shapes. I get sucked in by one of the
shapes. It is a cross that rotates upon itself; it is made
of 2 giant bricks surrounded by 2 giant rings. My
trajectory has been deviated by the centrifuge force.
I feel like an ant. Its amazing. My double keeps
vibrating and the sensation of speed remains and
makes me feel euphoric. Slowly the sensations
diminish.
Later I went out for fresh air. The sensation of speed
was still there, and remained with me until I went to
sleep.
CONCLUSION
I have been practicing seriously for only one and a half
years. I let you imagine the experiences that may
come after 5, 10 or 15 years of practice !

PI
DIRECTED BY DARREN ARONOFOKSKY
CINEMA
T
his black and
white film was
made in 1997. It
was Darren
Aronofskys first long
feature. He received
the prize for the best
film director at the
Sundance festival in 1998. Besides the sun
connotation of the festivals name, this dark, intense,
mathematical and mystical thriller, shines through its
scenario filled with odd references to Dr Lefebures
work.
The scene takes place in New York,
probably in the 80s, in the vibrant
district of Chinatown. Our hero, Max
Cohen, is a genius in mathematics,
he works alone on a massive
computer to discover and extract
the formula for life, the equation that
will bring order to the universe. With
the help of a computer called
Euclid, he is seeking the truth.
Theres a data-processing bug ; and
just before collapsing, his computer
spits out a formula made up of 216
numbers: this could be the equation
he was looking for ! Some people
interested in financial ends and
spiritual powers would do anything
to get hold of this magical formula in
order to reach their goal. However,
Max wont accept any of their propositions, and so
ensues a cat and mouse game that Ill let you discover
for yourself, if you choose to watch this film one day.
Having described the setting of the film, Im now going
to introduce the parallels between this film and the
phosphenic techniques.
Here is what the hero says first: When I was a kid my
mum used to tell me not to look directly at the sun, so
I did it when I was 6 years old. Doctors did not know
whether Id regain sight or not. I was terrorised alone
in this darkness. Slowly the light began to filter
through the bandages and I could see again. But some
thing had changed in me.
Indeed Max became a genius. As a child he intensely
trained in Phosphenism without knowing it. Later in
the film, the hero tells this story again adding a few
details. To begin with it blinded me but it had
happened before so I kept looking, forcing myself not
to blink, then the light began to dissipate, my pupils
were like pin heads and everything
became clear. For just a moment I
understood everything. As he
recounts this, the hero is
energetically walking in the streets
of New York. Aronofsky manages to
zoom in on Maxs face while there is
a reflection of the sun on the city
buildings just at the level of his
eyes. We can imagine that with
such precise cinematography,
Aronofsky is subtly referring to the
practice of Phosphenic Mixing.
While he is meditating on his work,
Max watches the branches of the
trees as they sway in the wind :
This also reminds us of an
exercise... doesnt it?
Furthermore, in a discussion with a kabbalist met in a
cafe, they agree that in nature everything is ordered by
mathematics and that everything is spiral. One of them
says: It is like those shapes we find in nature, like
the sunflower. There were millions of examples that
could have illustrated his point but the sunflower was
by Stphane
Page 31
chosen: a solar plant with whirling
patterns, it is the symbol of
Phosphenism.
When he is in doubt and intellectually
uncertain, Max visits Sol, his
mathematics master. Together they talk
about Maxs research and play Go. Sol
explains to Max the following : In
ancient times, Japanese people used to
consider the board of Go like a small
representation of the universe. When it is
empty, everything is understandable and in
obvious order, game possibilities are
infinite. A game of Go has much in common
with snow flakes, there can never be two of
the same. The snow flake allegory was Dr
Lefebures leitmotiv - he used the concept
to express that the workings of
Phosphenism are the same for everyone,
but that its repercussions are unique, and
lead to a personal and distinctive self-
development. Let me remind you of this
sentence of Dr Lefebure: Individuals are
like snowflakes, they all form different
patterns, even though all the angles that
form them are 60 angles. Interesting
coincidence dont you think ?
Because of violent migraines provoking
hallucinations and paranoia, he passes
out in the subway and wakes up at the
end of the line in Coney Island. The sea
is front of him, as is the sun, which
shines beautiful reflections upon the
waves (the film director insisted on this
point). In this scene, Max is considering
whether or not he is going mad, and if he
should give up his research. The effects
of mixing thoughts with the phosphenes
soon take place: Max is drawn to a spiral
shell which shows him the way: to keep
on going until the end.
Furthermore, the spiral as a symbol is
omnipresent (the milk in the coffee, the
golden number, the smoke of the
cigarette, the observation under a
microscope of a substance discharged by
the computer, the Go game pieces arranged
in a spiral, a galaxy, a sunflower, etc) The
spiral is a core emblem of this film.
Continuing with his research on the famous
Pi number sequence, there is a point
where he is concentrating and he sways
backwards and forwards. Then he stops
and brings his pen up to his third eye,
exactly as if he were following the advice of
Dr Lefebure in the practice of his ocular
convergence exercises.
This film is full of this type of references;
though it is only after watching PI a few
times that I noticed the uncanny correlation
with Phosphenism. It is one of my favourite
films. I like its aesthetics, scenario, rhythm,
and sound track. It is a story of a
remarkable quest, which reflects
wonderfully the quest of Dr Lefebure.
