I am reading each of your posts with great interest. One of the topics that I noticed was of great interest was the Gateway Experience.
In reading -- actually devouring would be more appropriate -- Bruce Moen's first book, I believe that he could add more personal insight into his experience, which I would find fascinating. Of course, this includes anyone else on the board who has attended the on-campus training. There is another post devoted to the off-campus course, so I thought it may provide insight to the board to compare the two.
Of particular interest: how does the off-campus and on-campus course differ (other than, of course, the obvious
)
For those trained on the on-campus site, what were physical sensations that manifested during the experience (i.e., how did it feel in Focus 10, Focus 15, etc....). What physical sensations did you sense as you entered a certain focus...
As to my own meditative experience, I arrive at a point where I want to slip "drop" into sleep. I am aware of it and push myself deeper each time while maintain a wakefulness conducive to exploration. From my experience, the point of sleep is "deep", but perhaps it relates to a different level of Focus (i.e., Focus 21, etc..)
All responses are welcome. I look forward to Bruce Moen's (and your) replies!
