I do not know exactly where to comment, so I shall post here.  I just ordered your "Afterlife Knowledge Guidebook" out of love for your message of empowerment and how it (The ultimate message I gleaned from the first series of books) has gone a long way to liberate me from the network of fear and to offer my own personal testimony to encourage everyone to "take a glimpse at the light", in a manner of speaking and unlock the vault to whatever your truth may be.

Hi guys. Guess your experience sounds very like mine since my Gateway (in Europe) last year Rob - snatches of seeing mixed with patches of inability to do so whether with or without use of hemi-sync.

Like Vicky and yourself I found the course such a high energy and uplifting experience - some initial blockage was followed by success in the exercises and by the end of the week I was seeing auras and having all sorts of unusual bits of spontaneous experience. Leaving for home really left a hole.

The capability has remained, but faded quite a lot and despite regular practice comes and goes. Not sure why as doubt hasn't consciously been an issue. It's more like that when I get busy or worried about stuff the resulting mental intensity blocks the feed. Another factor must be that a family home can't optimise the context in quite the way the Gateway did with a great course leader (Carol Sabick), great group, great location leading to a powerfully uplifting vibe.

It'd be great to hear some views on getting around this to accelerate progress - is it just a reflection of personal temperament, is it just a case of needing to keep on plugging away, or is a big lifestyle change needed? (like a multi year retreat, or semi retirement which isn't all that financially feasible)

Is it truly the case that a busy (normal?) life is likely to mean that progress remains a one step forward, 3/4 back affair and fairly slow....

Hi all, thanks Vicky for the reminder about the love exercise. Bruce has said here a number of times that the apex of enlightenment is/would be if you meet someone and all they express is love, or PUL and nothing else.
then sometimes we can get into intense discussion what PUL is, but I just had to mention you did a fine explanation, surely cannot gild the lily, just giving you a pat on the back for being a fine writer who can get their point across gracefully. we all seem to be on track here.

love, alysia

Hi Everyone,

Steve – I think you’ll find Bruce’s Guidebook to be helpful.  I’ll single a few areas I found helpful.  Like TMI, Bruce has a preparatory process that relaxes you and gets you in touch with your energy field/body.  Once you get used to the process, both Bruce and TMI speed it up so it doesn’t take as long.  I find and perhaps this is because I did it first that Bruce’s approach was very helpful and I still use it before doing some of the exercises I learned at TMI because I go into them in a deeper more relaxed state.  That maybe my reaction.  Then  Bruce’s heart intelligence exercises and the feeling of love exercises really helped me to get in better touch with my emotional self.  Without that I don’t think I would have gained quite as much from the Gateway program or from Bruce’s workshop.  Those exercises helped me tamp down my tendency to analyze everything so that I could just accept the non-physical experiences I was having.  I can’t give them enough credit, though I do suggest getting the CDs if you can – it’s easier to let Bruce tell you what to do instead of using your C1 mind to keep trying to remember what’s the next step.  Though you can do it without the CDs, just takes more work

Vajra – going home after something like that is a jolt.  It’s a challenge to keep up the practice.  Home can never (well maybe in some cases) duplicate the wonderful support you receive from the trainers and others in your TMI or workshop group.  Also it would be hard to duplicate the settings I had for Gateway and Bruce’s workshop.  For example, look at the picture Vicky posted – amazing place.  But we all came here for the joys of physical life – we just have to find the right medium.  Hopefully a few times a week should be sufficient to maintain our familiarity with the different states of consciousness.  It’s hard for me to find uninterrupted quiet space – sometimes I try it before going to bed and, naturally, end up in a nice peaceful sleep.  Oh well… We can only try our best.

Romain and Alysia – you called it along with Vicky.  Love’s the key.

Rob

Hi Maks -  I heard something about Indiana recently.  Lets see ... oh yes, the big Powerball winner was from Indiana.  Sure hope that was you! 

Wow Vicky were my dates off.
