Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Wed 10 Nov 04 early evening

I could definately feel my energy body vibrating faster in the expansion to Focus 12.  In the count up to 21, I could feel the Focus 21 state approaching, it was like moving up towards another plane of existence.  It feels like it's a grey sphere of energy which I move up into.  In Focus 21, the energy patterns became much more like 3d swirling clouds with some twinkling stars.  I reached out to make contact with my spirit guide and with the blue star and one eternal energies.  This seemed to produce some sort of reaction and the energy patterns changed at times during the Focus 21 stage.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Sat 13 Nov 04 mid morning

This time I tried adding the help of my spirit guide to the affirmation.  In the Focus 21 state I experienced a woman leading me through the structure of Focus 21, through various tunnels, areas and water flows.  After the exercise I returned to Focus 21 and met her again.  This eventually led into a dream time.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Tue 30 Nov 04 early evening

The Focus 21 state had a much greater sense of expanding energy and awareness patterns than usual.  I could feel my energy body vibrating much faster in the expansion up to 21.  The energy patterns of Focus 21 seemed to have very deep, fine grained patterns and there were moving figures and shapes.  The light of Focus 21 felt like I was moving into a starry constellation which then became like being in a crystal energy vortex, then I seemed to float upwards through the energy patterns.

15explore Intro to Focus 15  Fri 28 Jan 05 early evening

I have been trying out the Focus 15 state of consciousness recently and have been finding that this is a very profound state of consciousness, my awareness is completely different when in Focus 15.  I get the sense that I have completely moved out of time, there is a sense of stillness and I am no longer thinking linearly but that I exist here as a different type of energy pattern which exists all at once and can easily connect with other distinct times and states of being.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Mon 31 Jan 05 early evening

With this exercise I tried connecting with my spirit guide in the Focus 21 state.  Focus 21 felt much better than usual, it had more vibrant 3d energy patterns which I seemed to be floating through.  I got the sensation that I was flying through this environment with my spirit guide like birds and that she was introducing me to this environment.  I felt sad when this period ended and I returned back to Focus 12.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Tue 12 Apr 05 early evening

During this exercise I felt an especially strong connection with the 4 helpers.  I could feel a rising sensation as they lifted me up and this then led to a new state of consciousness which felt quite different from Focus 12 and which felt like I was floating along through another dimension.  This new state of consciousness felt somewhat similar to Focus 21 with a wide 3d sense of space around me, but with the focus being in this world rather than in the locale 2 world, which gave the sense that my consciousness may have been out of my body even though I was unable to actually see anything.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Thu 14 Apr 05 early evening

This time my Focus 12 state was much deeper than usual so that I felt less connected to the physical world during the exercise, although the connection with the helpers was weaker.  It was a slightly more dream like expreience than usual with this exercise.


Hemi-Sync Support for Journeys Out of the Body CD set

This volume contains 6 cds and is designed to go with chapter 16 of the book to help you use the borderline sleep state to achieve deep relaxation in preparation for out of body experiences.  It uses the Condition A through D described in the book which go progressively deeper and all of the exercises last one hour.

1  Introduction

This cd doesn't contain any exercises but features a talk by Bob Monroe instead in which he describes his experiences with out of body exercises.

2  Relaxation Reinforcement

This exercises provides an introduction to hemi-sync and also serves as a refresher.  It starts with the gateway affirmation and then moves on to some relaxation techniques.

3  Condition A

This is the borderline sleep state.  You lie down when you are tired and sleepy.  As you relax and start to drift off into sleep yoy hold your mental attention on something.  The exercise has been successful when you can hold this state indefinately without falling asleep.  You then become bored and expect something more to happen.  There is a beacon guidepost signal every 20 minutes during the exercise.

4  Condition B

This is similar to Condition A but without the concentration.  You remain looking into the blackness ahead between wakefulness and sleep.  Success is when you can lie indefinately after the impressions have faded away, with no nervousness, seeing just blackness.  This exercise does not have the beacon guidepost signals.

5  Condition C

This is a systematic deepening of consciousness while in the Condition B state.  You approach this by carefully letting go of your rigid hold on the edge of borderland sleep and drift deeper during each exercise.  This state is characterised by the shutting down of various senses.  Touch goes first, followed by smell and taste, then sound, then vision.  At 20 minute intervals the attention, focus, concentration signals are replaced by signals that take you deeper into the borderland sleep state, and reinforcing signals conducive to out of body experiences and lucid dreaming.

6  Condition D

Condition D is the achievement of Condition C when you are fully rested and refreshed, rather than tired and sleepy at the beginning of the exercise.  This exercise features hemi-sync signals designed to move you from a fully awake and refreshed state into a state of deep relaxation.  At 20 minute intervals there are signals conducive to out of body experiences and lucid dreaming.


Journeys Relaxation  Sat 16 Apr 05 mid morning

Affirmation, followed by breathing in and out exercises, then a count up to 10, then hemi-sync.  I got quite a deep state of Focus 10 then there was a sensation of rotating round like on a turntable at various times during the rest of the exercise.

Journeys Condition A  Sat 23 Apr 05 mid morning

I started off with muscle relaxation exercises, then deep energy breathing exercises, then the affirmation, then moved onto Focus 10.  I used floating in clouds as the thought.  I got some vibrations and a slight falling sensation at various times during the exercise.  It was very hard to maintain the thought though, I kept getting lots of other thoughts creeping in all the time.  Having to try to maintain a thought also made the relaxation much harder.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Mon 25 Apr 05 early evening

In this exercise I was much more aware of the sensation of being lifted upwards by the helpers during that part of the exercise.  Although it felt like I was still in my body I also got an awareness of being positioned near the ceiling at the same time.

Prospecting Plus Polarity  Thu 28 Apr 05 evening

This time I got the impression of floating in a void of 3d swirling energy which seemed to be electrically charged.  There were no particular other sensations in this exercise.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Tue 03 May 05 evening

During this exercise I got a much stronger feeling of being in a different dimension during the time when the helpers had lifted me up.  This felt like I was in a wide, dark expanse which felt totally different from the normal Focus 12 state of consciousness.

Journeys Condition B  Sun 1 May 05 morning

With this exercise I got lots of dream like episodes at various points throughout, which seemed to drift in and out during the exercise.

Journeys Condition B  Mon 2 May 05 morning

This time I got a quieter exercise with various thoughts coming and going throughout the time.  It didn't have any other interesting features.

---------------------------------------

These versions produce smoother transitions and I'm not yet sure whether it's better to have the pink noise at a constant volume throughout or to have the binaural beats at a constant volume.

I find that the focus states work the same for me using these programs as with the Gateway exercises, and I've left out the focus 15 state as I find it's a separate journey in itself, rather than being part of the expansion up to 27.  I'm using these sound tracks by storing them on a hi-md disk using the 64k bitrate and have found that this works well, I also have tried some gateway exercises in this format and they seem to work as well as the original cds.

I've edited the configuration files listed above as I found that it was best to have each binaural beat set to amplitude 10, with the mix or pink amplitude set to bring the overall total volume up to 100.  I've been finding the pink noise version the best.  I found that there were too many focus levels all the way up to 27 so I made the intermediate ones from 22 to 26 into a single sliding sequence, which makes it easier to keep track of where you are.

Hi Naugal

I'm new to this particular piece of software and so have been mostly experimenting so far, I found the river sound using river2.ogg seemed to help me relax, I've also tried generated a seqeuence mixing in pink noise and changing the magnitudes on the binaular beats so that they total 50 for each focus level to try to make one focus level have the same overall volume level as every other one, not had time to test the result of this yet.

Tried the tape 1 test sequence for delta/thete but didn't get much of an experience with this.

After much fiddling with this program I found that it looks like the fading effect doesn't work when you mix in the river sounds file, it fades in and out ok if you only generate the binaural beats and don't bother mixing in one of the sound files.

I therefore eventually settled on creating lots of definition lines which explicitely fade the sounds in gradually, like the following:

f03m90: 59+1.2/9 110+1.3/9 288+3.7/9 mix/90
f03m80: 59+1.2/8 110+1.3/8 288+3.7/8 mix/80
f03m70: 59+1.2/7 110+1.3/7 288+3.7/7 mix/70
f03m60: 59+1.2/6 110+1.3/6 288+3.7/6 mix/60
f03m50: 59+1.2/5 110+1.3/5 288+3.7/5 mix/50
f03m40: 59+1.2/4 110+1.3/4 288+3.7/4 mix/40
f03m30: 59+1.2/3 110+1.3/3 288+3.7/3 mix/30
f03m20: 59+1.2/2 110+1.3/2 288+3.7/2 mix/20
f03m10: 59+1.2/1 110+1.3/1 288+3.7/1 mix/10

The main part of the definition then uses each one in sequence for one second each, followed by the main f03 sound running for 3 minutes.  This resulted in the desired effect.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After trying out the end product wave files, going from focus 3 up to focus 27, I found that the focus levels 3 up to 21 felt similar to the ones I was used to from the Gateway cds, so it seems to work.  Focuses 22 through 26 felt like they were gradually taking me up into some more mysterious state of consciousness and focus 27 felt quite strange.

I'm having problems trying to get the sbagen program to produce a sound file which slowly fades in and out, no matter what settings I try I can only get one which starts and stops abruptly, which I find is useless in practise as it tends to make me jump inbetween the tracks.

The file I'm trying, seq.sbg, contains the following:

-F 1000 -m river2.ogg
f03: 59+1.2/10 110+1.3/10 288+3.7/10
off: -

NOW <> f03
+0:03 <> off

and the command line says:

sbagen -Wo seq.wav -E seq.sbg

Has anyone got this program to produce a wave file which slowly fades in and out or, alternatively, does anyone know of an editor program which you can download to apply a fade effect to a wave file?

Since my last post I sort of got out of the habit of doing the Gateway exercises, having arrived at the end of the course.  Recently I've decided to return to the exercises to explore the various focus levels a little more.


15explore Intro to Focus 15  Tue 27 Jan 04 evening

I got a beautiful pale violet light before the start of the exercise and in the Focus 12 part.  In the Focus 12 part, this light was in a 3d space with cloudy energy wisps.  Focus 15 felt like a much denser energy, like it was made up of a patterned sponge with little holes in.  In the second Focus 15 part, this changed to a much finer grained substance.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Wed 28 Jan 04 early evening

Focus 21 felt like being in an expanse of vibrant, rapidly moving clouds of patterned energy which was very 3d.  Focus 12 felt like a much quieter type of energy that seemed more 2d.  The Focus 21 energy feels quite different from Focus 15.

15explore Intro to Focus 15  Sat 31 Jan 04 morning

Tried visualizing floating up into the sky in the Focus 12 part.  This seemed to enhance the exercise as it made the focus state get stronger and reduced connection with the physical body.  Focus 15 felt as if I was floating in the energy clouds.  I stayed in Focus 12 for quite a while after the exercise.

15explore Mission 15  Sun 1 Feb 04 mid morning

The preparation process led to Focus 12 then quickly to Focus 15.  Focus 15 is a state of calmness, you are part of the energy.  Be part of the stillness and reach out for the changes you would like to manifest.  My consciousness was not very deep this time.  It ended with a slow return first to Focus 12, then to Focus 10, then back to C1.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Mon 9 Feb 04 morning

I got a mixture of rapid vibrations and slow wave bouncing initially.  In Focus 15 the energy patterns started with the patterned space and gradually changed to an effect like rapidly flowing energy with energy rivers flowing through it and I floated through the energy rivers.  This lasted until the end of the Focus 21 part.

15explore Intro to Focus 15  Sun 15 Feb 04 mid morning

My state of consciousness became very deep as the exercise progressed.  There were lots of visions throughout.  In the Focus 12 part I got shimmering surface and tunnel type visions.  Focus 15 had different shapes.  Focus 15 felt like being a place of stillness.

This exercise had very many short visions, mostly of strange types of animals, passageways and city type landscapes.

15explore Exploring Focus 15  Sun 7 Mar 04 morning

This exercise starts with the preparation process, moves quickly to Focus 15 then gives a free flow period in Focus 15.  I got a quiet, restful time in this exercise.

15explore Intro to Focus 15  Sun 14 Mar 04 morning

This exercise featured a deeper state of consciousness with lots of images of places.  I got several episodes of seeing the room through closed eyes.  The exercise was followed by a very long period with lots of lucid dream type episodes, and instances of what seemed like being awake but wasn't.  This lasted all morning.

15explore Intro to Focus 15  Sat 24 Apr 04 late morning

I got lots of brief visions during this exercise.  My focus state became deep eventually.  After the end of the exercise I got various dream sequences for a while.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Mon 12 July 04 mid morning

The Focus 21 state brought on lots of strange images of wierd dark places and landscapes that I seemed to be travelling through.  Focus 12 returned to the normal type of awareness.  Tried this exercise again on Tuesday morning with similar results but weaker.

Odyssey Free Flow Focus 21  Tue 12 Oct 04 early evening

Preparation process, followed by an expansion into the soft light of the energy body, which was light blue, into Focus 21 then a reach out to get help from those who love you.  I got flashes of various significant parts in my spiritual development process so far.  I reached out to make contact with the One Eternal astral coven and the Blue Star celestial energy, and with past spiritual teachers.  I got a vision of a crystal valley on a distant planet, filled with blue energy crystals which I absorbed energy from.  This was under a starry sky.  I visualised the blo-vim-os symbol of the Blue Star energy system and it expanded out so it seemed like an eye and became like an energy corridor that I was going through.  This vision lasted for a while in the Focus 21 state, then the exercise returned first to Focus 12 than back to normal consciousness.

15explore Intro to Focus 15  Wed 13 Oct 04 early evening

The expansion from Focus 12 to Focus 15 caused the energy patterns to change to a more vibrant fine grained type of energy with structure.  My awareness of my surroundings went away.  I tried to connect with who I was in previous lives and this produced brief visions of places, not easy to make out, some with a sense of being somewhere in Germany.  Also I got a sense of all time being here, which is the purpose of the Focus 15 state.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Sun 24 Oct 04 morning

I got the sense of the Focus 21 state having a distictly different type of energy from Focus 12, it also makes me feel that I am no longer connected with the physical world which I would normally be able to sense in the Focus 12 state.  I managed to re-connect with the blue star crystal valley from a previous Focus 21 exercise.  I noticed the distinct change in energy type on returning to Focus 12, and then the contracting inwards when returning to Focus 10.  After the end of the exercise, rather that waking up, I practised returning up through Focus 10, then Focus 12 then back to Focus 21 without the help of the exercise.  I got the impression that this was reasonably successful, feeling the distinct energy patterns of Focus 21 for a while.

So far I have has 2 experiences which I think might be almost projections, but not quite. Each time I was moving toward what I think is an astral plane entrance structure, as described by Robert Bruce.  This appeared at an angle and I moved toward it for a few seconds, then it disappeared.  They took the form of wallpaper like patterns.

The first one had a gold coloured background with coloured diamond shaped patterns in it.  The second one had a blue background with white patterns that looked like line drawings of a tulip.

Has anyone else experienced astral plane entrance structures like these?  If you have, maybe you could describe them as they may be useful in gaining access to the astral plane.

Continuation of exercises

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Sun 11 May 03 mid morning

Got slow rhythmic expansion and contraction feelings during the Focus 12 part of the exercise.  During the expansion up to Focus 21 there were gradually developing patterns of energy leading to the Focus 21 expanse with it's fine grained patterns.  In Focus 21 there were many glimpses of shapes, wavy surfaces and other such things.  The rhythmic expansion and contraction returned upon my return to Focus 12.  I decided to stay longer after the end of the exercise and so, during the countdown to 1, got a deepening of consciousness instead, it felt like back to Focus 21.  After this, there were some longer, continuous scenes including one where I was in a car in which the roof folded open.  This eventually gave way to a wide, deep 3d staticy space and I decided to return to normal consciousness at this point.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Mon 12 May 03 mid evening

Got similar experiences during the exercise to previous ones.  After the exercise my body was very numb and slow, I felt very tired and it was some time before I returned to normal consciousness.  My body also became very slow.

High Priestess meditation at Craftfest  Sat 17 May 03

Guided meditation.  Starting on a grassy bank by a river, notice the flowing water has patterns of movement and colour in it.  Go down into the coloured water patterns, down through the water, the earth and rocks into a rocky passageway.  Through the passageway into a large cavern.  In the middle there is the High Priestess, standing behind a cauldron.  I asked the High Priestess for guidance on my future career and got a sense that things would change, but no more precise answer.  I then reached into the cauldron to get a gift from the High Priestess.  I got a strange type of energy that felt like lots of little twisting coloured sticks that came into me through my arms.  I thanked the High Priestess and then retraced my steps back up and out to the grassy bank.

Odyssey Free Flow Focus 21  Mon 19 May 03 evening

I got lots of images of faces throughout.  Deep staticy space and gentle rising and falling sensations with fast vibrations.  Stayed in Focus 12 after the exercise and my state of consciousness got deeper again, it was very hard to get back to c1.

Odyssey Free Flow Focus 21  Thu 22 May 03 evening

There were very rapid vibrations.  The Focus 21 state came on automatically after moving into the light of the energy body and there was a distinct falling sensation.  Focus state got much deeper after the exercise and it took a long time to become active again.  There were frequent sudden flashes of deep blue light throughout the exercise.

Hemi-sync sleep  Mon 26 May 03 mid morning

This is a new cd which has different tracks to guide you to different states of light sleep, deep sleep and rem sleep.  Did the muscle relaxing section moving into light sleep (seems Focus 10), then move to deep sleep (seems Focus 20), then extended deep sleep, then extended rem sleep.  Got light vibrations,  slow wave moving up and down sensations and 3d space.  Consciousness got much deeper nearer the end, with a falling sensation.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Tue 27 May 03 evening

Started off with very deep 3d space with fast moving wind type effects.  There was a gradual build up of energy and vibrations during the expansion to Focus 10 and then to Focus 12.  Felt some connection with the helpers coming in and merging with me.  During the lifting up there were very harsh, rapid bouncing up and down sensations that made me feel very seasick.  My state of consciousnedd gradually deepened.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Thu 29 May 03 evening

There was a gradual expansion of energy up to Focus 12.  Focus 12 had slow gentle rhythmic vibrations and a wide 3d static flowing type of space.  In the expansion up to 21, the energy patterns changed gradually.  Focus 21 had very fast vibrations and a patterned clouds type of space with a perception of multicoloured layered clouds.  I seemed to be moving forward slowly through this.  Felt the light of Focus 21 fill my energy body at the start of the Focus 21 stage.  The Focus 12 patterns came back upon the return to Focus 12 at the end.


Projection Diary Day 17 - Mon 2 Jun 03

Relaxation all steps as day 6:  Strong humming noise and rapid vibrations came on immediately.  Space went 3d and there was a soft deep green light.  Body went very numb towards the end of the muscle exercises.  There were some shooting stars in the 3d space and the space had fine textured patterns like Focus 21.

After image retention as day 10:  The room around the candle seemed to blank out.  Could only hold the after image for a few seconds.

Tactile imaging toes, soles and legs:  Toes produced a slight tingling and a humming noise.  The small toes were harder to feel anything.  Soles of feet produced a much bigger effect and was very relaxing.  Legs produced vibrations, shooting stars and deep relaxation.

Bouncing energy legs and arms as day 15:  Got humming noises, vibrations, swaying back and forth and a Focus 10 like state.


Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Tue 3 Jun 03 evening

There were strong vibrations and fast moving 3d space with some shooting stars in the build up to Focus 12 part of the exercise.  Some energy floating sensations.  The patterns changes to the velvet patterned clouds in Focus 21.  The light of Focus 21 was like being in a white aurora.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Wed 4 Jun 03 evening

During the first part of the exercise there were rapid vibrations, slow rhythmic floating up and down type vibrations and 3d space with some patterns.  I felt quite a good conenction with the helpers coming in and helping me lift up.  Later in the exercise there was a distinct floating on air type sensation which felt like a strong air flow from below trying to lift me up.  I haven't felt this before, it felt quite nice.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Sun 8 Jun 03 mid morning

This time the helpers took on a distinct personality with a perception of them having distinct bodies as they came in to help me.  There were soft vibrations and a distinct expansion of consciousness from Focus 10 up to Focus 12.  Consciousness got quite deep and there were many instances of strange white landscapes, valleys and tall objects.  There was a brief glimpse of a multi coloured patterned tube.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Sun 22 Jun 03 mid morning

Got lots of images of people, faces, columns, insects and rooms throughout.  Things were slightly quieter in the Focus 21 part.  After the exercise I went to sleep for a while and got a lucid dream which included eating toast at a table.  I became aware of it being a dream during this part and decided to see what toast would taste like in a dream.

Magick Stream atunement  Thu 24 July 03 night

This atunement starts off with the assertion I now enter this Magick Stream Moment.  I ask to recieve the Magick Stream atunement as a glad free gift of spirit, a glad free gift of divine love and will.  Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.  This produced an energy pattern effect like incoming expanding spheres and a slight cool breeze.  This felt very soothing and lasted for some time.

I tried the atunement again on Mon 28 July.  This time I got a deep, fast flowing 3d mist type of energy with a very beautiful pale violet light.  This lasted for some time and then gradually faded to grey.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Sat 16 Aug 03 morning

This exercise produced a much deeper state of consciousness than normal.  There were lots of imags of faces, shapes and brief scenery episodes and I felt much less connected to the physical world.  The team of helpers were sensed as 4 women this time.  Brief blue patterned light at one point in the exercise.

Exploring Pathways  Mon 1 Sep 03 mid evening

Initially I got 3d space and soft vibrations.  Went up into the sky and then along forested paths up into high mountains.  Found the circular stone temple and went down into the earth to the earth core crystal.  There were strong vibrations and a pale violet light, with the vibrant black core energy.  Next off into space to venus.  Lots of white wispy clouds.  The surface had dark brown rocky valleys and a dark orange coloured atmosphere.  Down to the core, got a dark choclatey brown feeling here, with deep low frequency vibrations.  After this, off to mars.  The orangey surface gradually got bigger and I landed on a rocky cool landscape.  The mars core again had the hollow rock sphere with vague carvings on it.  Next off to uranus.  Sensation of lots of cloud layers and the light blue colour everywhere.  The core had the feeling of mint flavoured dark chocolate with a raspberry filling.  I stayed in this energy for some time.  After this I went off to pluto.  Pluto felt very small, seemed like a small rock.  A dark blue colour appeared initially, changing to pink as I went down to the core.  This also felt very small.  The exercise ended here.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Mon 8 Sep 03 early evening

The exercise felt completely different this time.  There was a slight green light during the preparation.  This time it felt like I was long and thin and floating slowly upwards in the space just above me with vibrant energy patterns and rapid vibrations.  Focus 21 had a sense of floating in deep space and there were geometric energy patterns and some voices.  The exercise ended with a return to a softer and calmer energy.

Lucid dream  Thu 2 Oct 03 overnight

I became aware of being in an environment which was not real and which seemed to consist of many different planes, each with a different very brightly coloured wallpaper like pattern.  I realised this must be an astral plane of some sort and tried to navagate through the structures and enter the planes.  This seemed to lead to other similar plane structures with different patterns on them.  This continued for a while.

Adventure Free Flow 12  Sun 23 Oct 03 late morning

Got soft rippling vibrations during the early part of the exercise, changing to slow wave like vibrations in the Focus 12 part.  My consciousness got gradually deeper as the Focus 12 part went on.  There were some image flashes of statues and wire tunnels, and a short whining noise at one point in the exercise.


Gateway CD Wave 8 15explore

This is a newly produced wave which is actually labelled Wave 5 Exploring and which replaces the previous nonverbal waves which were called Exploring and Prospecting, which are now no longer sold.  This wave expands on Focus 12 with exercises to enhance intuitive abilities and then introduces Focus 15, the no time state.  This is a state of pure being.  This wave contains the normal preparation process at the start of the exercises and, in the new ordering of the waves, comes before Odyssey.

8 1  Advanced Focus 12

This exercises returns to the Focus 12 state in order to expand, strengthen and reinforce your familiarity with this state of consciousness.  This exercise starts with the energy conversion box, resonant tuning, resonant energy balloon, the affirmation and then moves on to Focus 12.  It then gets you to deepen your Focus 12 state into a free flow period.  I find that this exercise produces similar results to the other free flow type exercises earlier in the series.

8 2  Discovering Intuition

This exercise guides you to use the Focus 12 state of expanded awareness as a foundation for enhancing your intuitive abilities.  You learn to connect to the feelings associated with an intuitive knowing. You also learn a verbal cue to use when you desire to know something with great clarity.  The exercise follows the preparation process, then expands outwards from Focus 12, then gets you to remember situations in the past when you were aware of simply knowing something.

8 3  Exploring Intuition

This exercise gives you the opportunity to use the Focus 12 state for further expansion of your intuitive abilities.  You expand your consciousness far beyond the limitations of the five physical senses.  You connect with the source of your intuition and express your intent to understand and know more fully who you are as an intuitive being.  The exercise follows the preparation process to expanded Focus 12 and then gets you to become aware of, understand and connect with the source of your intuition.

8 4  Intro to Focus 15

Starting with Focus 12 you are then guided into another state of being, Focus 15, the state where time does not exist.  Your energy body is not limited by time and space.  You practise moving between Focus 12 and Focus 15.  The exercise follows the normal preparation to Focus 12 then guides you up to Focus 15.  I experience gradually changing energy patterns then Focus 15 feels like being in a void of a black velvety, vibrant type of energy.  The normal awareness of surroundings is gone, as are other sensations like smells.  Visions in Focus 15 also feel different.  It ends by taking you back to Focus 12 then to Focus 10.

8 5  Mission 15

Focus 15 is a state of stillness, a state of simply being.  In this exercise, you explore Focus 15 as a powerful state of creation and manifestation.  From the energy of Focus 15 you can access the All that is, and know that your creative abilities are put into action through your intention.

8 6  Exploring Focus 15

This exercise gives you a free flow opportunity for further exploration of Focus 15.  By now you should be familiar with the stillness of Focus 15, the state of simply being.


15explore Advanced Focus 12  Sat 6 Dec 03 late morning

I got rapid but soft vibrations in Focus 12.  It didn't feel much different from previous Focus 12 states.  I got some images of people at the start.  Tried connecting with the One Eternal energy using some of the symbols.  The exercise ended with a return to the starting point in Focus 12 and then back to C1 quickly.

15explore Advanced Focus 12  Sun 7 Dec 03 mid morning

This time I got a much deeper state of consciousness with a slight falling sensation at times.  My body also went much more numb.

15explore Discovering Intuition  Sun 21 Dec 03 mid morning

I got a much deeper state of consciousness and strong vibrations with this exercise.  A room with stone walls and windows appeared near the beginning of the exercise.  Preparation process to Focus 12 and then expand awareness outwards.  The exercise got me to think of situations in the past when I was aware of simply knowing something intuitively, and to remember the experience and the feeling it produced.  I used my occasional awareness of future flavours and various other past events.  The exercise got me to remember the feeling as a source of intuition which could be used in the future, and introduced a verbal cue to recreate this in the future.  It ended with a rapid return to C1.  I stayed on in Focus 12 for a while.

15explore Discovering Intuition  Wed 24 Dec 03 mid morning

Got a much deeper state of consciousness this time with a feeling that felt close to floating away.  The actual exercise seemed faint in the background.  Got lots of images, starting with a circular pyramid, then a tall city lights scene, then being on a high, long bridge in the city, which then changed to the bridge being in the country with hills and mountains in the background.  Later, I moved along a stone walkway with high walls up towards a castle.

15explore Exploring Intuition  Tue 30 Dec 03 mid morning

Got a strong toffee like smell near the beginning of the exercise  and strong, smooth vibrations.  Preparation process, then expand awareness out from Focus 12, then ask for understanding of and to connect with the source of your intuition, to know the relationship between yourself and your intuition.  It seemed like I had entered a stream of thought, which felt very busy and I experienced lots of different thoughts and experiences coming through.  I found I could concentrate on particular events as well.  The exercise ended with a quick return to C1.  I then left the thought stream.

15explore Exploring Intuition  Thu 1 Jan 04 morning

Got floating on water waves type vibrations and a very deep state of consciousness.  I experienced the thought stream again, the experience was much more intense this time.  There were lots of vivid images of faces and hands.  After the exercise I stayed in this focus level for some time and the experiences deepened.

15explore Exploring Intuition  Sun 4 Jan 04 late morning

Got quite a deep state of consciousness and vibrations.  There were various pattern like visions.  I stayed in Focus 12 after the exercise.  Got a slight rising sensation at one point.

15explore Exploring Intuition  Sat 10 Jan 04 mid morning

Got a reasonably deep state of consciousness in this exercise.  During the releasing inhibiting beliefs part I got a sensation of getting gradually lighter as beliefs floated away.  There were various visions, first of structured arches, then of ancient city like scenes.  There were brief floating type sensations at times.  There was a short dream sequence at one point.

15explore Intro to Focus 15  Sat 17 Jan 04 mid morning

The preparation process led up to Focus 12.  I got slow wave floating on air type vibrations.  The exercise then led up to the Focus 15 no time state with a count up.  Got gradually changing energy patterns with this.  Focus 15 felt like being in a pool of very rapid rippling type of energy, sometimes with energy patterns or with drifting clouds.  I felt centered in this energy and the normal awareness of my surroundings went away.  After a while in Focus 15, there was a countdown back to Focus 12.  The feelings normally associated with Focus 12 returned.  Then there was a count up back to Focus 15, with a return to the rippling energy.  I got a few brief visions of odd creatures this time.  It ended with a count down first to Focus 12, with a return to the normal Focus 12 type of awareness, then to Focus 10, with a moving inwards of consciousness.  Then a rapid return to C1.

15explore Intro to Focus 15  Sun 18 Jan 04 morning

There was a lemon coconut type small at the beginning and in the Focus 12 parts of the exercise, but not in the Focus 15 parts.  Focus 15 was like being in a wide black velvety vibrant type of energy, stretching all around me.  The smell returned in the Focus 12 interlude and went away again when I returned to Focus 15.  I stayed in Focus 10 for a while after the exercise.

15explore Intro to Focus 15  Mon 19 Jan 04 evening

In this exercise I tried to notice the differences between Focus 12 and 15.  In Focus 12 I felt part of the surrounding world while in Focus 15 this went away and I no longer sensed any connection with the world, like being in a different energy field.

15explore Intro to Focus 15  Wed 21 Jan 04 early evening

I got a rotating round on a turntable type feeling at the beginning of the exercise.

15explore Intro to Focus 15  Sat 24 Jan 04 morning

I got quite a deep state of consciousness this time.  Focus 15 had very rapid vibrations and I experienced the black velvety energy field.  There were various short visions throughoutthe exercise, the Focus 15 ones felt different from the ones in Focus 12.  There was a short dream like sequence at one point.  I stayed in Focus 12 for a while after the exercise.

Hello Helmut

I've recently completed volumes 1 through 7 of the Gateway cds and was wondering if there was a way to progress any further, into the focus states above 21, without having to actually go to the monroe institute, which would be somewhat difficult if you don't live in that country.  What is Going Home, by the way?

This has been posted on another topic but might be useful to read it here.

Astral planes

This information comes from various books I've been studying, mainly Astral Dynamics, and also from personal experiences. The planes correspond in general to the layers of the aura. Above the physical world there are, first of all, two intermediate planes which are more like states of consciousness which you tend to pass thtough as you are learning to expand your awareness. The body heat level produces a strong light in a particular colour, and the etheric level is an awareness of energy, sometimes with brief visions of the surrounding scenery through closed eyelids. Then there is the real time zone which contains a reflection of the physical world. This is followed by the astral plane in which thoughts come to life. The astral is divided into 7 subplanes of which the lowest and highest are different from the others. The lowest contains a large void with very negative energy and people who are not aware of their surroundings. The highest contains a very positive environment with higher level entities who choose to operate in a physical environment. The akashic records are a side environment of the astral which acts as an information store. Above this there is the mental plane which is a very colourful kaleidoscope like environment which you can get to if you are able to enter a state of peace and harmony. Next, the buddic plane contains a force of pure unconditional love which is even harder to experience consciously. With the other planes above this, you would lose your sense of being an individual entity and therefore in theory these cannot be experienced if you with to remain as a physical being.

Plane Name Description

1  Physical plane daytime world
1A Body heat intermediate state, coloured light
1B Etheric intermediate state, electrical activity, occasional visions
1C Real time dimension physical world out of body; etheric
2  Astral dimension Dream world with 7 subplanes
2A Akashic records Library of past and future events
3  Mental plane Rainbow rivers
4  Buddhic plane White fluffy clouds and pure love
5  Atmic level No individual personalities, united with a number of lives
6  Anupadaka Everything blends and is united with everything else
7  Adi The essence of everything

Actually, the only time so far I succeeded in having a conscious oobe I got the Mental Plane as described above.  I've also experienced the body heat and etheric levels, though these are not really true planes as such.

On the subject of lower planes, I've two ideas as to what these might be.  One is the Earth Core focus levels as described by Bruce Moen, I've tried these and they produce very low frequency vibrations and so might qualify as a lower frequency plane.

The other idea is that they might represent a lower level of consciousness, for example an animal, plant or rock level of consciousness.

hi everyone

I've tried using visualization journeys to explore the core crystals of the different planets in the solar system, inspired by Bruce Moen's books.  These have been very interesting experiences, I felt low frequency vibrations at the core crystals, and each planet had it's own feel and colour to it.  There were also other interesting features which appeared, for example at the core of Mars I got a sense of a hollow sphere with strange inscriptions on it.

The common theme with my experiences has been that they have happened when I've been just lying down to rest, like after dinner, or alternatively just after a cd exercise when I've decided to stay in the Focus state for a while longer.

It typically happens when my state of consciousness becomes deeper and it feels like I'm on the verge of falling asleep.  Then one of these structures appears, typically like a wallpaper pattern, and I move towards it for a few seconds.  It seems to dissappear again when I try to turn my attention to the structure.

Last weekend I got a colourful tube like tunnel which appeared only for a very short fraction of a second, just enough to recognise that it had happened but not to make out any detail.

Brian
#15
I've experienced the plane structures a few times, though not yet got a successful projection.  One time it was like a pattern of tulips on a blue background and lasted a few seconds.

Brian
#16
I've used all of the waves including that one, but have never got an oobe with any of them. The closest I've got is with Nonphysical Friends in Odyssey, where I experience violent jerking up and down type sensations.

Brian

Hi Helmut

Yes, the description of this looks like it might cover Focus 27. I've probably missed that one because it looks like it's only available on tape and I've no longer any easy way to play this, I've changed almost completely to cds, mini disks or mp3 players so maybe I'll wait a while to see if it becomes available on disk first.

Brian
#18
Greetings Adrian

Yes I can understand that this could be a bit dodgy and might be best not to get involved in too much.  I've just completed the Gateway cd course and was just wanting to find out if there's any stuff around to help go beyond Focus 21 as I would be very much intrigued to discover levels like Focus 27 and thus be able to see for myself if the writings of Robert Monroe etc are true.  The Monroe institute doesn't seem to cover any of these focus levels in any of the cds it sells.

Brian
#19
Is there a way to search for these mp3 files without needing this kazaa program?  I tried to download it but wasn't able to; it downloads a file called kmd.exe, when I run this it just tries to download another file called kmd210_en.exe and this doesn't work as it just complains the web site can't be found.

Also, do any of the hemi-sync mp3 files found by this software cover the focus levels above 21, in other words the material that lets you go beyond the gateway cds?

Odyssey Free Flow Focus 21  Sat 3 May 03 morning

My state of consciousness seemed to deepen somewhat in Focus 21 and my body went quite numb but I didn't experience anything different here.  The return to Focus 12 brought a lightening of consciousness.  This exercise seems not to produce very good results.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Sat 3 May 03 mid evening

After the preparation process in the Focus 10 to Focus 12 part I got a deeply 3d staticy space with lots of red and blue twinkling stars going off randomly in it.  During the expansion up to Focus 12 there was first a sense of upward movement then a sense of turning over to the right.  In the count up to 21 I got gradually changing energy patterns.  Focus 21 felt like being in an expanse of moving cloud energy patterns that felt very wide and mysterious.  After the count down back to 12 the twinkling stars energy system returned.

One Eternal meditation  Sat 3 May 03 night

Relax and breathe.  Allow yourself to float.  See before you a blue field of light, and in the centre is the blue star.  The distinction becomes clearer as you feel the energy drawing you closer Until you are surrounded by the blue light.  

Feel yourself now being drawn into the centre of the blue star.  Breathe deeply.  Become aware of your body, the sensations, feelings.  Feel the truth for you of this energy.  Feel yourself being drawn deeper into the centre of the blue star, to where the light is clear white.  Breathe deeply now as the light surrounds you and you are drawn floating deeper and deeper, into the centre of this radiant light.  

Centre yourself here.  Feel the energy.  Notice your emotions and the feelings within your body.  Breathe into it.  Breathe into the sensations and feelings.  Feel the gentleness and support of all those who are here with you.  Feel the gentleness and support of the light.  Stay a while.

As you become settled and comfortable in this space, notice further within, in the distance and deeper within the light, a golden glow.  Connect with the glow, and feel yourself drawn gently and with love toward the centre of the golden light.  As you enter, feel the golden glow of light settle gently around you.  A caress of air, beautiful, peaceful and fully supportive of you in every way.

Feel that expand gently with each breath.  Feel the love of self, acceptance of the past, present and future, all united as one, and all perfect.  No judgement.  Total acceptance.

Stay here as long as you want.  Experience what is here for you.  Breathe gently and evenly.  Notice the feelings and emotions within your body without judgement.  Know that these are not the core of I, but the creations of I.  Be gentle.  Listen to the messages and notice all that is here for you

When you are ready to return, gently centre yourself in readiness for the outward journey.  Allow yourself to be guided in the most perfect way to be returned to your body in the most perfect way.  Ground yourself in the present.  Take time before you move on.

In the white centre of the blue star I got the sensation of my energy body being illuminated by the white glow.  The centre of the gold light felt like a sort of warm calmness that was nice to stay in for a while.

Odyssey Expansion in Locale 1  Tue 6 May 03 morning

I felt the vibrations get much faster in the expansion from Focus 10 to Focus 12.  Tried to blank my mind as much as possible.  Got slight floating sensations.  Stayed in Focus 12 for a while after the exercise and got a few images, and my state of consciousness got somewhat deeper.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Wed 7 May 03 morning

Got very rapid vibrations.  Felt a sense of uplifting as the helpers were trying to lift me upwards.  This state felt quite different from the normal Focus 12, which returned in the parts where the helpers moved me back down.  It felt closer to the Focus 21 state.  Stayed in Focus 12 for a while after the exercise to practise deepening my state of consciousness.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Thu 8 May 03 early evening

My experiences were much more extreme this time.  I got very wide, deep 3d staticy space, rapid vibrations and slow wave floating sensations.  There was an energy build up going from Focus 10 to Focus 12.  I felt the helpers coming in and a strong sense of upward and downward movement in the lifting and lowering parts during the two stages of the exercise.  During the countdown back to 1, I got a strong sense of moving backwards and then got a woman drinking a cup of coffee who moved over to me as I was backing away.  It was somewhat harder to get back to C1 normal consciousness after the end of the exercise.

Continuation of exercises

Prospecting Far Reaches  Wed 22 Jan 03 early evening

It started with bleeping noises and then followed the Null Point sounds.  I got deep 3d plasma snowy energy patterns with a pale violet light.  The music eventually moved on to aircraft noises and high pitched whines.  Here I got gentle rising and falling sensations and some swirling coloured energy patterns.  My focus state was not very deep this time in this exercise.

Exploring Pathways  Thu 23 Jan 03 evening

I started off by spending some time in the clouds and in the air and then went off over forests and up mountain slopes to get to a mountain top area where I could percieve some stone walls running along the mountains and also stone casle like structures.  Then I went down through the earth to the earth core with its vibrations.  Next, off through space to venus.  I got a sense of a strange rocky landscape and deep valleys.  Then down to the venus core with its brown energy.  After this, off through space to mars.  On mars it was sunset and the sky had turned a dark blue, the sun could be percieved distantly on the horizon.  I went down through the layered rocks to the core.  I could sense the hollow rocky sphere with carvings on it that I couldnt quite see.  Then off through space again to saturn this time.  I went above, through and below the thin layer of rings for a while and then down into the planet.  There seemed to be lots of layers of clouds here and I could feel a bright green energy radiating up from the centre.  The core had a strong light green coloured energy , quite strong vibrations and a feeling of being stretched out lengthwise.  The exercise came to an end here with the return to normal consciousness sound patterns.

Adventure Free Flow 12  Sat 25 Jan 03 evening

In this exercise I tried the visualization journey technique in Focus 12.  I started off in the air, then went up some mountains and down to the earth core.  Then off to venus, percieving a rocky landscape with a dark yellow sky.  Next, down to the core and then off to saturn.  At saturn I approached the north pole and went down through the clouds to the core, there were lots of clouds and the core again felt green.  My perceptions were slightly weaker this time.

Prospecting Far Reaches  Sun 26 Jan 03 mid morning

I got very 3d airy space patterns initially.  During the high aircraft part of the exercise there were gentle rising and falling feelings and a perception of spinning kaleidoscope like energy patterns.

Prospecting Near Reaches  Wed 29 Jan 03 evening

Got the 3d misty space with strong violet and green light.  Later on, deep 3d space with some patterning effects.  Then gentle rising and falling sensations with soft vibrations.  There was a strong coconut smell during the circus music part of the exercise.  I tried a visualization exercise using the upper mall area of Qalisar, an imaginary world, then down to the ground area.  It seemed reasonably strong.  Near the end of the exercise I succeeded in going through the tunnel into Anekbah.

Prospecting Null Point  Sat 8 Feb 03 late morning

In this exercise I got lots of images of people, shapes, buildings and city scenes throughout the exercise.  The Focus state worked well.

Prospecting Near Reaches  Mon 17 Feb 03 early evening

Got a deep 3d misty space effect with distinct patterning and some twinkling stars.  Strong fluttering vibrations in the lower part of my body.  My Focus state was very weak this time, I felt awake most of the time.

Exploring Pathways  Sat 1 Mar 03 mid morning

The visualization journey started off in the air, then over forests and up into a beautiful mountain range with snow capped mountains.  Then down into the earth past lava caverns to the earth core crystal.  I got strong rapid vibrations here, a feeling of dark energy and a strong metallic feel.  Next off through space to venus.  Strong sensation of floating in layered clouds.  I sensed the rocky surface landscape.  Then down through the ground past the rock crystals to the core.  The core had strong brown energy and I got strong slow vibrations here.  After this I went off through space to mars.  Upon arriving on the surface it was a bright sunny day with a wide open landscape.  I went down through the strange layered rocks to the core and sensed the large open rock sphere with patterned walls.  It felt bigger than before and was slightly misty.  I spent some time here and then went out again through space to europa at jupiter.  Gliding along the icy channels, jupiter could be seen in the sky.  Next, down to the deep water cavern for a while, then the core with the light marigold orange feel to it.  The exercise came to an end here.

Threshold Intro Focus 12  Sat 8 Mar 03 mid morning

I got soft vibrations and various patterns including a white soap bubble like pattern, both in the Focus 10 and the Focus 12 parts of the exercise.  After the exercise my focus state got much deeper and I got a dream which included climbing a large wall like structure with various ledges on it.

Prospecting Null Point  Tue 18 Mar 03 mid evening

This time there were soft vibrations throughout the exercise.  I got a light blue coloured light at the beginning of the exercise, followed by a 3d twinkling mist type effect.  During the exercise it felt as if I was in a space with electrical discharges going off all around me.  There were some rising and falling sensations at times.


Gateway CD Wave 7 Odyssey

This wave is a newly produced one which sees a return to the guided exercises to reach the new Focus 21 state, the bridge into other energy systems.  It starts off with sensing the energy body in the Focus 12 state, then expanding it by speeding up the vibrations, then expanding into the energy body, then moving on to other energy systems in the Focus 21 state.  The normal preparation process happens at the beginning of each exercise with the exception that there is no resonant energy balloon any more.

7 1  Sensing Locale 1

This exercise reaquaints you with the Focus 12 state while you're introduced to your energy body which you can then use to sense objects that are too far away for your physical body to reach.  I found the exercise made me aware of the expansion from Focus 10 into the Focus 12 state and that my awareness of my energy body got much better as I repeated the exercise.  Guidance is provided throughout, similar to the earlier waves.

7 2  Expansion in Locale 1

This exercise enables you to begin a greater exploration of Locale 1 by expanding your energy body in the Focus 12 state.  You speed up the vibrations of your energy body and then expand it outwards.  You can then move your awareness outwards through the energy body, becoming lighter in the process.

7 3  Point of Departure

Once you have become proficient in moving your consciousness within an expanded energy body, you are now ready to take off by rotating it through 180 degrees.  This can seem like a shift of awareness or a slow movement in time and space.  The goal is to project your consciousness out of phase with your physical body.  After the preparation process you expand your energy body, increase the rate of your vibrations and use your own technique to get to Focus 12.  Then you roll over your energy body so you are facing down and try floating up.

7 4  Nonphysical Friends

Research through explorer sessions has indicated that there are lots of helpers in energy form who assist explorers with out of body experiences.  This exercise enables you to establish trust through direct personal contact with these nonphysical friends.  You go first to Focus 10 and then ask for the assistance of 4 helpers, asking for their light to merge with yours.  They then try to lift you out of your physical body.  I experience similar vibrations and slight floating effects with this exercise but don't feel any connection with the helpers.

7 5  Intro Focus 21

This exercise may be your first experience of the Focus 21 state, which is the bridge into other energy systems.  Special hemisync signals help towards the Focus 21 state.  You can observe subtle changes in vibrations or feelings of movement as you transition through the various states of consciousness.  After the preparation process there is an expansion into the energy body up to Focus 12 and then a further expansion by counting up to Focus 21.  You then move through a light into Locale 2 in Focus 21.  I percieve an energy expansion up to Focus 12 then a gradual change of awareness into a dark expanse in Focus 21.

7 6  Free Flow Focus 21

This exercise is brand new territory for exploration.  You move into Focus 21 directly from Focus 12 by projecting your consciousness to the light of Focus 21 where you are encouraged to ask for guidance and assistance from those whose wisdom, development and experience are greater than or equal to your own.  After the preparation process to Focus 12 you expand through your energy body into the light of Focus 21 without needing the gradual count up.  You then move through the light and contact your helpers in Focus 21.  I percieve a quicker transition into the dark expanse of Focus 21 and actually got some perception of the helpers.  Focus 21 feels very different from the other states of consciousness.


Odyssey Sensing Locale 1  Wed 19 Mar 03 mid evening

The exercise led me to Focus 10 then on to sense the energy body which surrounds my physical body, expanding it outwards as I moved on to Focus 12.  I got light blue 3d mists at this stage and some percieved electrical effects.  Rapid vibrations started later in the exercise.  I moved my consciousness first into my right hand, then into the energy body counterpart of my right hand, which I then tried to extend outwards to touch the bedpost.  After this, on out to a picture on the mantlepiece.  I felt a slight energy effect here, but not very much.  I then repeated this process with my left hand, outwards to try to touch some clothes.  After this there was a slow countdown back to normal consciousness.  During this part, space got much more 3d and there was a distinct sinking feeling.

Odyssey Sensing Locale 1  Sat 22 Mar 03 mid morning

This time I sensed a visual impression of the small metal clock which my energy body hand was reaching out for, and also of the area between the bedposts and the wall at the left hand part of the exercise.  Again, there were slight vibrations and my focus state got much deeper towards the end of the exercise during the slow countdown part.  My energy body was much more pronounced this time.

Prospecting Null Point  Sun 23 Mar 03 late evening

I tried this exercise with the intention of having a period of deep relaxation.  I used the Focus 10 state which worked well during the exercise and got quite a deep relaxation state with soft, slow sinking feelings.

Exploring Pathways  Tue 25 Mar 03 evening

In this exercise I decided to spend more time in the core crystal energy fields.  After the normal startup going through the air, up into mountains and down through the ground, the earth core had a dark, much stronger feel energy with a distinct, strong stretching sensation which got stronger as time passed.  After this, I got to the surface of venus and spent a longer time here with a dull heavy atmosphere and a sensation of a rocky landscape with sloping valleys and heavy mists.  Then down to the core crystal.  I spent some time in the dark brown sensation here, with stronger vibrations.  Finally I went off through space to mars, arriving at night time with a starry sky just as the exercise ended.

Odyssey Sensing Locale 1  Sat 29 Mar 03 late morning

It started with a 3d empty space which developed into a 3d misty space with twinkling lights in it during the expanded part of the exercise.  There were soft feeling vibrations.  The right arm part of the exercise produced a feel of the wooden bedpost and a visualization of the space inbetween this and the mantlepiece as I moved my energy arm forward towards it.  Then I got a feel of the cool hard china in the small china cup with small scented paper cones in it.  The mirror behind this felt sort of liquid.  On the left arm part of the exercise I felt the round metal light switch and then got a feel for the brick in the wall behind it.  These feelings were stronger this time and I got feelings as well as visualizations of the objects.  After the exercise my focus state again got much deeper and I got lots of 3d images of faces, shapes, surfaces and floors with strange roller like shapes in them.  This seems to indicate the Focus 12 state.  I repeated this exercise on Saturday evening and again on Sunday morning, each time with similar results, focusing on different objects each time.

Odyssey Expansion in Locale 1  Mon 31 Mar 03 early evening

I got 3d swirling misty space immediately.  After the preparation process there were soft diesel like vibrations.  The exercise then expanded the energy body outwards into Focus 12.  This produced stronger vibrations and a slow seesaw like bouncing up and down sensation.  Next the exercise increased the rate of the vibrations and led you to feel lighter and sllowly float up.  My vibrations then became much faster and got extremely harsh, becoming very uncomfortable after a while.  There was a slight feeling of lightness but a distinct worry about what was happening.  Eventually there was a floating down part of the exercise which produced a slight sinking feeling as the vibrations became softer and lighter.  After the exercise I returned to normal consciousness immediately and felt quite dizzy for a short time.  I tried this exercise again before sleep and this time got a much more subdued version of the same thing.

Odyssey Expansion in Locale 1  Thu 3 Apr 03 early evening

There was a distinct pale violet light during the preparation process.  In the expansion stage my focus state got very much deeper than usual and the vibrations became very rapid.  I tried thinking of floating in the ocean.  At one point there was a feeling of sideways movement to the right.  After the exercise I stayed in the focus state for a while and got a slight feeling of upward movement.

Energy session using One Eternal  Sat 5 Apr 03 lunchtime

The symbol wr1a hatched out into a little white flying creature that flew around for a while and then went into the leg I was healing.  On the 8th April in the morning, when I tried haling using the same symbol, the was a distinct hyacinth like smell.

Odyssey Point of Departure  Mon 7 Apr 03 early evening

The exercise first went to Focus 10 then expanded my energy body outwards, increasing the vibrations and expanding into Focus 12.  Then you try rotating your energy body with a 180 degrees roll over to the left until it is face down.  I didn't feel any effect here.  My vibrations got much faster.  During the floating upwards part, my focus state got deeper and I tried visualizing being at the other end of the room.  My state of consciousness seemed to get quite deep during this part of the exercise.  There was a gradual return to normal consciousness at the end.

Exploring Pathways  Sat 12 Apr 03 evening

The exercise started with a very deep speckled 3d space with a soft green light.  I got light vibrations throughout the exercise.  My visualization journey started by spending some time going up through the air into the clouds and sky.  Then along over forests, up a mountain and into an area of mountain tops and forests.  I spent a while zooming over this area and then came across a tall dark castle like building, went into it and found the inside to be a round stone building with a well like structure in the middle.  I then went down the well which took me down a long passageway and into the ground.  This took me down through soil and roots to rocks and eventually lava.  I got to the earth core crystal, spending time here in the dark metallic energy with a lengthening effect.  Next, off up through space to venus.  Down through layers of wispy, misty clouds to the surface.  I explored the dark rocky landscape for a while, getting quite a good sense of the rocky valleys and misty atmosphere.  Then down to the core with it's dark brown energy.  Next, off through space again to Io at jupiter, a new destination.  I got quite a surreal landscape here, a deep red and black surface with volcanoes going off at times.  I tried going down to the core crystal.  This seemed like it was infrared in colour with a slight hint of dark green.  The exercise ended here, my state of consciousness got deeper for a while immediately after the exercise.

Odyssey Expansion in Locale 1  Sun 13 Apr 03 early evening

I got first a smooth 3d type of space, then later a very patterned 3d space with lots of dark cloud effects and staticy lights and discharges everywhere.  I decided to add the resonant energy balloon back in, it seemed to enhance visualization.  There were soft vibrations at first, later becoming very strong , fast and quite rough.  I imagined floating upwards.  There were some seesaw like bouncing up and down sensations later in the exercise.  There was a sense of floating down during the countdown at the conclusion.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Mon 14 Apr 03 early evening

The preparation stage led first to Focus 10.  I got a deeper 3d cloudy space with a very vibrant energy patterning effect in it.  Then the exercise asked for the assistance of 4 helpers and asked for their light to merge with mine.  Then I expanded out into Focus 12.  I imagined the helpers coming in, I felt a sligt effect but not very much.  I asked the helpers to lift me up out of the physical body, then later back down, then up again into a period of exploration.  I felt a slight floating effect but also not very much.  Tried visualizing being up on the roof and out in the garden, I got stronger vibrations during this stage but did not feel myself to be out of the body.  There was a countdown from 12 back to 1 at the end of the exercise with a gradual closing back down of awareness.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Tue 15 Apr 03 early evening

During the Focus 10 and expansion into Focus 12 part there was much greater energy whooshing around sensations.  I got a much better perception of two helpers on each side of me this time as they came closer and then seemed to merge in.  There was no sense of communication though.  It felt like there was a slight upward push at times.  I got slow bouncing energetic seesaw like sensations during the lifting up part of the exercise.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Wed 16 Apr 03 evening

At the beginning of the exercise I got a deeper 3d speckled space effect with wisps that seemed to move forwards and backwards.  There was a perception of the helpers coming in and then merging.  During the lifting out part of the exercise I got very intense sensations of strong upward pulls going at a rate of about one beat per second.  Later this changed to a floating on water waves type of sensation.  I felt slightly dizzy during this.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Fri 18 Apr 03 late morning

I got a strong perfume like smell at the beginning of the exercise.  My Focus 12 state seemed quite deep with lots of shapes and brief images appearing throughout.  A close up view of the ceiling appeared very briefly.  I stayed in the Focus 12 state for some time after the exercise.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Sun 20 Apr 03 morning

During the first lift out session I tried visualizing being close to the ceiling looking down and got a sense of moving dark clouds.  During the second lift out session I tried relaxing into it and got a deeper state of consciousness and slow ocean wave like sensations.

Odyssey Nonphysical Friends  Mon 21 Apr 03 mid morning

I relaxed more deeply into the Focus 12 state this time.  I got first a white foggy area, then later glimpses of moving down a railway track.  This was followed by strangely designed rooms, shapes and landscapes.  I stayed in Focus 12 for a while after the exercise.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Mon 21 Apr 03 evening

The exercise started with the preparatory process followed by expansion into Focus 12.  During the transition from Focus 10 to Focus 12 I felt a gradual energy build up and expansion type effect with the standard rapid vibrations coming on.  The energy patterns seemed especially vibrant and were somewhat kaleidoscope like.  This was then followed by an expansion up to Focus 21 by counting from 12 to 21.  During this I experienced the energy patterns changing with each number.  Number 15 seemed to be a kind of turning point and was accompanied by energy patterns that looked like concentric circles.  The patterns changed at each step after this.  Step 17 was a diamond like pattern.  Focus 21 felt very different and was quite strange.  There was no perception of the room around me any more and I seemed to be in an expanse with white energy streaks floating in it.  The exercise then got me to percieve a white light, move into it, then out the other side into Focus 21 in Locale 2.  The light had streaky kaleidoscope white patterns in it and led through into a more mysterious expanse of the floating energy patterns.  The conclusion led first from Focus 21 back to Focus 12.  I was aware of moving back out of this strange expanse back to the visualized awareness of the room around me in Focus 12.  Next there was a thanks giving and then a contraction from Focus 12 back to normal C1.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Tue 22 Apr 03 mid evening

After the preparation process I felt the expansion of energy out into Focus 12 with an increased awareness of the surrounding room and very pronounced rhythmic bouncing up and down sensations.  During the count up to Focus 15 the energy patterns took on a honeycomb like structure and the bouncing intensified.  From Focus 15 up to Focus 21 the energy patterns became more fluid and the bouncing changed into a harder, rapid type of vibration.  Focus 21 felt like an expanse of kaleidoscope like energy patterns with no perception of my physical body or of the surrounding room.  The move into the light happened automatically and felt like entering a new, brighter energy system which seemed to fill my energy body.  I spent some time here.  On the countdown back to 12,  the very vibrant intricate energy patterns of Focus 21 gradually changed back into the slow, water like flowing expansive energy of Focus 12 which brought back awareness of the surrounding room.  During the countdown back to 1 it felt as if my physical body was now reappearing after having been away for a while.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Thu 24 Apr 03 late morning

During the Focus 21 part I got lots of strange buildings, scenery, paths and ladders.  I stayed in Focus 12 for a while after the exercise and got many different images flashing through.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Fri 25 Apr 03 late afternoon

During the counting up stage at 14 I got rapid rhythmic vibrations.  At 17 I got a sense of moving down a long circular tunnel.  In Focus 21 there were lots of passageways, streets and outsides of buildings.  During the countdown it changed gradually back to a quiet sense of expansion at Focus 12.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Mon 28 Apr 03 morning

Rapid vibrations built up gradually during the preparation stage.  My body started to go very numb, starting with hands, then feet, then head slightly.  I got lots of images of insides of rooms, buildings, castles and ledges.  I stayed in Focus 12 for a while after the exercise and got gentle wave like floating sensations.

Odyssey Intro Focus 21  Tue 29 Apr 03 early evening

Focus 21 felt like a wide, deep 3d staticy space with electrical discharges in it.  It felt like I was moving back and forth in this.  I got rapid vibrations and a slow wave like movement.  The rapid vibrations went away on the return to Focus 12 and I got a quiet feeling of expansion.

Odyssey Free Flow Focus 21  Wed 30 Apr 03 evening

The exercise started with the preparation process leading to Focus 12.  I got a soft light blue light during the preparation, with vibrations becoming stronger and accompanied by a gentle wave floating sensation.  Then I was directed to percieve my energy body and expand into it.  I got a weaker version of the light blue light and also brown and red colours.  Then I was directed to expand outwards through the energy body into Focus 21.  I got perceptions which changed gradually with the 3d staticy space getting deeper and the vibrations getting more rapid, moving into the dark expanse of Focus 21.  I was directed to move through the light of Focus 21 and to call on helpers who know and love me to assist.  I got a perception of a deep expanse of space with a slight perception of some helpers at different points in the space.  I seemed to drift gently in the space.  The exercise ended with a return to the energy body in Focus 12.  My perception changed back to the awareness of the surrounding room in Focus 12.  After a thanks giving there was a countdown back to normal consciousness at 1.

Odyssey Free Flow Focus 21  Thu 1 May 03 early evening

I got the soft light blue light again and rapid rhythmic vibrations building up during the preparation stage to Focus 12.  The space patterns were very 3d and quite fluid.  Focus 21 had rapid flashing type of energy patterns.  The focus states were not very good this time.
#22
The experiences I had when I was very young, which got me interested in this subject in the first place, were of floating around above my body or out in the garden.  I assume that this is a real time projection. I always assumed that the astral is just a different dimension of some sort, although I've never consciously experienced what is normally referred to the astral as yet.

I'm atuned to a number of different healing energy systems, including Reiki.  I have soreness in my legs and find that these techniques are good for dealing with the pain though it does take time to do healing this way and as such ibuprofen does provide the same effect more quickly.

Brian
#24
Yes, I think that meditation is probably another word for Focus 10, where you try to blank out unnecesary thoughts and stimulation.

Focus 12 is therefore when you experience images of some sort, I wasn't sure because I find that sometimes this can feel somewhat like an astral projection, I've occasionally got wallpaper like patterns for example, just like Robert Bruce describes as astral plane entrance structures.

Maybe Focus 21 will turn out to be different from this.  I'm almost at the point in the gateway exercises which deals with Focus 21.  I've been spending much more time with each Odyssey excercise and should reach the last two exercises about Focus 21 next week, so it will be interesting to see what happens here.

Hi everyone

My experience of the focus levels so far is that focus 10 feels like a sort of quiet, relaxing meditative state where you are looking inwards to yourself, and the space in front of you looks calm and smooth.  Focus 12, by contrast, is when you try to open up to the outside world, and produces a feeling of looking outwards which is accompanied by a vibrant staticy type of space in front of you, often like dark 3d clouds with electrical discharges in them.  Not sure if everyone will experience them the same way.  Very occasionally, objects of some sort will appear, not sure if this is still focus 12 or is an example of something else.

Brian
