Focus Levels (10-21)

[BirthOfTheNight]

Focus 10
(Mind Awake/Body Asleep)
This is the level at which the physical body is asleep but the mind is awake and alert. Consciousness is fully retained without dependence upon signals from the physical body. Conceptual tools are developed that the participant may use to reduce anxiety and tension, for healing, for remote viewing and for establishing resonance with other individuals. In Focus 10, much like the dream state, we learn to think in images rather than in words.

Focus 12
(Expanded Awareness)
This is a state where conscious awareness is expanded beyond the limits of the physical body. Focus 12 has many different facets, including exploring nonphysical realities.

Focus 15
(No Time)
The state of "No Time" is a level of consciousness which opens avenues of the mind that offer vast opportunities for self exploration beyond the constraints of time and place.

Focus 21
(Other Energy Systems)
This level offers the opportunity to explore other realities and energy systems beyond what we call time-space-physical-matter.

So astral projection falls in the Focus 12 category? What about focus 13,14,16 etc.

I like reading through the traditional descriptions of the focus states, they make me chuckle because they sound so old fashioned now.

As a model of consciousness I think it's great and the linear progression idea relates well to beginners. The concept of simultaneous time is tad mind-blowing, so the linear progression focus concept relates ever so well to the linear nature of physical events. In any event, it was a definite improvement on the mystical notions of astral-planes and all that jazz.

Like Major Tom, I owe a lot to Monroe. I've followed his work for a number of years. He was a true pioneer and some of his explorations must have taken a LOT of courage.

Yours,
