More Focus 21 intro...

Curious that this time I didn't feel that my body was deepening in relaxation as the Focus levels increased, as the first time I had this exercise. My cat decided to sit on my left leg near the beginning of the exercise, maybe that somehow interfered? Interesting how towards the end of the exercise when she decided to get off my leg, when I was going from Focus 12 to Focus 10, that suddenly my awareness felt deeper and more 'in tune' with the frequencies. Does the cats presence on my body interfere somehow?? Hmmm.

Anyway, in Focus 21, once again I saw the attempts of a scene trying to materialise before my inner vision. I had a feeling it might have been Ancient Egypt. Sort of in the marketplace or within the city. Saw a particular individual there.

Before that materialised, I heard a distinct male voice say to me 'Stephen Lachlan'. Was that the person's name who was communicating with me, trying to say who it was? Who knows?

Intro to Focus 21 once more

So, I've been on holidays and progressively working my way through the Focus levels in the Gateway Experience home series, once more...

Nothing overly impressive, experience-wise, in all the various levels I've been passing through, but it's been great reacquainting myself with all the subtle differences between the levels and their associated perceptive states.

Focus 15 is quite a wonderful place to 'be'. If nothing overly interesting happens 'there', it still is a wonderful state of peace, stillness and freedom.

Moved onto the Intro to Focus 21 exercise tonight.
*Note to self: There is ample and I mean lots of time in the preparatory process
for considerable application of all the requirements in each step, so no 'fast-forwarding' as is required in the Focus 15 exercises*

When I got to Focus 12, the physical body felt nice and heavy. Felt energy body movements in the legs.
Then, as Laurie took me down slowly to 21, I could sense the change in perception occurring very strongly, noticeably, and the body becoming more distant.

Once in 21, I had a strong overlay of a baseball match and my eye was on the batsman, ready with his bat about to swing when the ball was thrown. Interesting visual metaphor there.

After some time, I felt like I was moving toward a scene of something like a large dark dragon/female with pointed horns or protuberances of some kind.
The scene stayed stable and it was progressively becoming more focussed.
What was it, I wonder? Maybe more of it will turn up again in further exercises?

I gave gratitude as requested and asked permission to be helped more in further excursions in order to experience more.
We aren't allowed to stay long in Focus 21 in this introductory exercise, so not a lot of time for things to happen.

Further Intro to F21

Started out with doing some good resonant tuning prior to the exercise as there doesn't seem to be sufficient time allowed on the recording to do enough, I feel. Felt good and charged when I got to the tuning stage within the exercise and had a great amount of time allocated to create a nice Rebal as well.

Felt totally relaxed and balanced by the time I got to F12. Going slowly from 12 to 21 is quite fascinating, watching the subtle change in feeling in your perceptual field as well as your body becoming more distant, more alien-feeling.

At 21, I patiently waited to see if anything would form and I saw different things start to appear. One seemed like a beautiful lush tropical garden that was growing in front of me, I think.

I got the 'percept' (lol) I should access that state of peaceful inner silence that I have at times, the exquisite quite inner stillness.

As I recalled that feeling and brought it in, something quite remarkable happened. It seemed as though something was flooding toward me and was actually being created at the same instance that it was moving toward and encompassing me. It was like a gentle tsunami of a manifestation of inner silence being created and unfolding immediately around me.

I recoiled in amazement for a moment but realised I should just let go, so I gave it definite permission to move all around me and continue to grow as it was like a blossoming garden of creation, directly connected to the peaceful energy I 'intended' through a deliberate effort.
Fascinating, as Spock would say.

Must remember to start using this technique of intentionally 'conjuring' up a state or idea to let it flourish before me.

Intro Focus 15

Okay, so I've been starting from scratch in a sense for the past week or so on holidays, going through the Focus level exercises from 10 through to 12 on a regular basis, as a form of revision and refamiliarisation with the various states associated with these levels, in order to reach the desired objective of becoming comfortable and familiar with Focus 15 and 21, eventually.

Nothing too extraordinary has occurred with the earlier focus levels, aside from the usual kind of NVC experiences and energy movements in the body whilst in a cataleptic state. No surprises there.

Used the Intro to Focus 15 exercise tonight with Laurie's voice and, short of having minimal time in the preparation process stage (why do they have to do that??), there was ample time to rest in Focus 12 which was a nice balance.
Body became very relaxed and cataleptic...had problem even feeling it, aside from chest gently rising when breathing - quite ideal.

Moved onto Focus 15 as guided and slowly moved from time period to time period with different cultures with different feelings associated with them. One appeared to be a desert-like culture, one more around from the time of Robin Hood, it seems, one was very ancient (almost primitive man) where I could hear the language being spoken and what was most peculiar was that the curious primitive language was somehow vocalising in my throat in a subtle manner as I was listening to the exercise.

I thought of the forest-like culture I lived in when I was moving through that particular time period (Robin Hood-esque) and heard a female voice say a number of times, as if to emphasise the word and to help me remember it - "Glissendon". An approximate spelling of course, as I have no idea. She was very insistent on helping me to remember it. :) Did a little search on it and haven't found much yet.

I love Focus 15! So easy to be in and so utterly fascinating. One could rest in that state for ages and not grow bored or tired of it at all. Focus 12 seems very boring by comparison.

At the beginning of the exercise as I was moving from 12 to 15, I heard a voice saying in a slow-motion fashion: "time......less...." A few times over.

Once again in 15, quite difficult to reconnect with current physical identity and everything associated with it, as though it was just very trivial and inconsequential. Which in a way, from a greater perspective, it is quite possibly very true.

The key is zero expectations and just letting things be, paying attention in a calm and detached manner with all the time in the world. ;) Not very hard to do in that state.

Advanced Focus 10

Created quite a good Rebal around me. Helps to go by the energy flow sound effects to help guide a more reliable shaping of the Rebal balloon. Felt really substantial.

After Robert took me back to '1' and then back to '10' again, one could really sense the HS signals working as the body definitely fell back to 'sleep' again.

Saw an image of a man opening an old-fashioned lock to a large, old wooden door and looking back at me. (Invitation to enter the unknown by my own volition?)

Also saw what looked like a railway tunnel, one of the old-fashioned brick types which had something inviting and curious to it, beckoning entry. :)


Felt really refreshed after coming permanently back to '1' afterwards.

Intro to Focus 10

Haven't used the Gateway Experience in such a long time but have instead been making regular use of the new recordings of TMI's Spatial Angle Modulation which are pretty incredible I must say.

Used the first Focus 3 exercise earlier and was amazed by how much in the way of visuals etc were present considering it's such an 'early' Focus state. Very impressive.

Just now I made use of the Intro to Focus 10 as a refresher exercise as I haven't used the GE for such a long time and I thought I should go slowly through the main Focus levels again, getting accustomed to them so I don't unexpectedly 'click out' as can happen with lack of familiarity with them.

Was pretty amazing. As I was relaxing through the 10 point system I had difficulty remembering each instruction that Robert had just given, like an immersive amnesia of sorts, which was fairly amusing. Finally got to 10 and felt very comfortable, relaxed and all the various things that were perceived were done in a balanced, detached way, which would have been helped from all the AYP Deep Meditation practices, I think. A 'witness' in action.

As I was lying there watching whatever unfolded, it then looked like the head outline and the pair of almond-shaped eyes of an alien was resting right in front of me in my field of vision, just watching me intently. It lingered for a while then my attention went to something else and it reappeared once more. Quite persistent.

Went back to '1' while feeling like I wasn't really listening to Robert's instructions, so a good sign I was very detached, relaxed.

Free flow 21 - 2

This time upped the volume to 2 dashes on my iPhone and it was probably the best choice.
Forgot to do the extra resonant tuning before the exercise started which probably didn't energise me enough...felt a bit disinterested too.

Nice and relaxed waiting for Focus 12 to come along. Moved into the light of 21, as the exercise said.

Saw an image of a very happy bride in all her beautiful dress and outfit, she looked so happy and laughing. It was a full length image of her. Then saw another image of (I can't remember) was it an army lady? Also very active and alive.

Heard a very clear remark made about me (but forgot) and I asked if it was true, and they said 'Oh definitely!' or something like that.

Waited for a while in the state of 21 without much happening, then I became aware of the hissing/vibrations sound that you can get prior to an OBE. They were there for a while without my ever noticing. Was I separated or separating?

Earlier I asked for assistance in any way to leave and move beyond into exploration, so maybe it was being given?
