Focus 1 Success!

I have frequent experience of long term episodes and memory recall along with validation in Focus 1. I find I have been doing this most of my life. It's very easy and you can do it too!
I spend a lot of time there and have met a few people I see regularly. However you have to watch out for negative entities there who will be a drain on you. But most of the people there are nice but not all of them are aware they are in Focus1. I have given up trying to explain it to them because they either laugh, avoid you, or in some cases attack you.

I find I can consume substances called food and this helps me to continue in this state, I surmise it is some type of energy. I can walk around, see things, sit, rum and open and walk through doors; even close them!

This is very interesting because it is a little often overlooked state of mind that is not fully understood.

Very often overlooked indeed! It's hard to go through Focus 1 while fully conscious of what it represents. We often try to enter different higher focuses in an attempt to escape it. To live it fully while still having contact with other focuses must be a wonderful experience.

LOL!

so i trolled a troll post!

nice.  I'm really starting to like you TaoistGuy.
be awesome.

Taoistguy

LOL! :) It wasn't exactly written as tongue in cheek, as I wanted to have it as a fun post, but it also underlies an important facet of the whole Focus 1 - 4 thing, and that was to ratify that  Focus 1 IS just 1 of the Conscioussneesses and as important as the other ones. We often forget that this world can be just as 'magical' and this can free us.

Yes, this physical reality is just a part of the consciousness continuum as a whole.

It'd be interesting to see exactly why and understand more fully how we find this Focus so easy? Is it down to the frequency of the energy level? Is it habit? Is it spiritual hardcoding? Is it something completely different?

It is the perceptual DEFAULT mode our phycial human body with its senses is attuned to , evolved into and probably conceptually designed and built for. I say human body because probably animals already have another Default mode, e.g. with regard to perceptions of the vast electromagnetic spectrum (the total of which we perceive so damn litte of). Some animals are also said to perceive non-physical entities more easily or even habitually - who knows?
Everything else from that human "mode" of C1-Focus is ALTERED perception/focus/attention, that's why it is also called "altered" states of consciousness by some (para)psychologists, it is every time when we experiencs sth that is not normally 'available' in "Focus/C1".

Taoistguy

I understand the 'theory', but I'm trying to fathom the root of it so I understand totally. If we can change our perception to other modes of Consciousness, we can't be fully 'locked' in, so I'm trying to find the gap, or connection between the 'physical' and the others.

Xanth

I believe we have it "easy" here because this is our PRIMARY focus of awareness.
Eventually, when our physical body dies and our PRIMARY focus shifts into Focus 3 oC... then life there will also become "easy".  :)

That explains it beautifully, I totally agree with you. It makes the goal here to find the "window" that allows us to reach other focuses and understand how it works. Mind if I quote you on my blog?

I actually believe there's a solid reason for this.
Children should naturally be able to do this as well... but as they grow older and the clutches of society's belief constructs gets pressed upon them, they begin to think like everyone else and lose this natural ability.

Hum, like we once discussed, children may systematically lose that ability in nowadays culture. Then we can't say we're initially restricted to focus 1. We're more prone to staying here, but we may have contact with other focuses if we allow ourselves to. (I suppose)

My experiences with Focus 3 have made me see how truly fascinating Focus 1 is.

Everything in the physical seems so much more vivid when I look at it now.

Focus 1 is not entirely devoid of 'spirit' phenomena. I nyself have witnessed and experienced the Chi energy of Tai Chi. Energy is matter, matter is energy, in my opinion. This could fit in with everything being Consciousness and just as 'real' as other Focuses. (or unreal?)

Additionally, the ability to manipulate the body's energy using acupunture adds further proof that body and mind/spirit are intrinscially tied.

Lol :), for once I was fooled. But good point there. The physical is not fully understood, no doubts about that. However the author called it C1 (I guess).
Most of the people are still unaware of the physical mostly in some kind of sleep state, mostly acting out of pre-programmed instincts. Physical is a big mystery just like any other plane.
