Quote from: omcasey on October 16, 2023, 15:37:32I am enjoying the conversation. But I still haven't heard what the difference is between F2 and F3, aside from a deeper lucidity. Let me ask this directly, is it the same difference as between a 'private' and 'consensus' reality? -- the latter being 'consensus'? Or is this off base?
I may share my insights and I tried to follow Frank's model all along. Not because I'm a believer, but to experience it first-hand, how it works.
Focus 2 is very deep in its nature. I tried to experiment with what seems to be "not right" about it. I mean not right about the whole model, I mean this part of the model. I didn't say Frank was wrong, but I'M not a believer type at all and we talked a lot about these with Szaxx personally years ago. It is the mind, sure, but hell, that mind of ours is just capable of making anything out of blue. You have no control most of the time, so I'm overwriting myself with self-suggestions each time when I try to experiment there.
I figured out something with the mechanics, from probably over a thousand of conscious F2 events. If you are passive and 100% focused, it is rock solid. You lose consciousness, it is fluctuating like you never notice a slight place shift where you are at another place. Maybe Focus 3, maybe another F2. If you concentrate back, it becomes solid again. This same spectrum of solidness will be true for Focus 3 too, being there. Or between both.
Focus 2 and Focus 3 is like you would never know for sure which is which because your interplay will endlessly overlay one with the another. Overlays are changing while your focus is here or there. The more you focus on Focus 3, being at a real place (real means consensus, everything is real, even your scenery being generated automatically), the more "solid" it is and you are needed to be passive. I managed to get to Focus 4 a few times, not that easy.
I found out a spectrum of awareness and focus of attention over the years. Here you go guys and girls and my main approach is not phasing but falling asleep. I can do phasing too, much harder.
Falling asleep > regain focus = Focus 2 sceneries > regain more, physical alike awareness, you solidify the Focus 2 interplay > lose focus > Drop into TPS (Third Person Sight) as an observer, seeing yourself as a character.
From TPS, you have two options according to the intent before sleep. It kicks in, you regain more focus of attention, Focus 2 solidifies, you are there fully again. You lose consciousness for a split second, it changes, the whole place or other stuff. You lose it more, False Awakening happens, you wake up with another memoryset at another "place". It can be still F2 or F3.
Now, when you are at Focus 3 places, worlds, you KNOW it. You lose consciousness there, you end up in an interplay loop of F2 overlays until you either end up in TPS, FA or physically waking up. I know guys I cannot explain it so well in a few sentences but I have a lot of work in this.
The main problem is that we don't notice the most of this. I try to notice even the slightest changes. Focus 3 is amazing. Focus 2 is also amazing! I cannot give an answer whatever we are doing Focus 2 fully or Leland was right about guides giving test.
But what I noticed that sometimes - if not always - guides will give sceneries for teaching purposes. One of my first diary from my first 6 years is around 1400 pages. Yeah, I'm not a believer but an experimenter. So when people are saying after a few, after a hundred of these that they "know" it... nah they are not even close.
And I didn't even mention experiencing parallel lives, probable or alternate lives, meeting with entities who know you, meeting with other versions of yourself, helping out strangers or rescuing "people" as a task, doing stuff you are doing in another life... all that stuff, all is there right now. A human life is truly short for this and there is always more. And people outside of this whole stuff will deny it or can't even imagine this whole stuff being real. And of course, if will also vary how you experience the same thing according to your worldview.
