Human psychology is such that people are always looking for the easy way out. In the practice of phase states, this finds expression in the search for devices (or even substances) that do all the hard work for you. In light of this, the instructor’s task is to clearly explain that such devices simply do not exist and that it’s nevertheless much easier to do without external aids. The entire topic of non-autonomous methods is directed primarily not at going over supplemental technologies and methods, but at gently dissuading people from using them. Essentially, the instructor’s task is to satisfy his students’ intense curiosity about such things while guiding their thinking in a more rational direction.

In discussing this topic, the instructor will be covertly undermining the commercial interests of producers of various devices and supplements for becoming conscious while dreaming and out-of-body experiences – and they are legion. They all falsely advertise their inventions as fabulously effective, and their message sinks deep into the minds of people harboring high hopes for a silver bullet.

To conclude the topic of non-autonomous methods on the right note, it’s enough to state that no experienced practitioner achieved mastery using them alone. Moreover, not a single device makes it possible to enter out-of-body experience as easily and as many times a day as the indirect method.

I had sleep paralysis upon awakening (lack of separation), and I already wanted to get out of that paralysis (unwarranted inference), but I then remembered that sleep paralysis was the best time to exit the body. I recalled the methods, relaxed (lack of deepening), and began to listen in to the noise in my head. Within a few seconds, I was ejected from my body. I levitated towards the ceiling. I looked at my own sleeping body and my brother’s body sleeping on the next bed (lack of deepening, lack of a plan of action, and possible loss of activeness). Everything in the room was in its place, with the exception of the telephone, which lay next to me. I was not the least bit scared, and wondered, “What will happen if I return to my body right now?” I immediately banished this question from my mind, since I remembered that I could get caught in my stencil by thinking about it. I flew to the living room, closed my eyes, and imagined an object in front of me. When I opened my eyes, the object was indeed next to me! That’s when I felt that I was losing consciousness. I looked at my hands to keep from flying out into my body. However, that did not help, and I was soon back in my body (lack of secondary separation from the body).

It’s important to provide your readers and students with ways to communicate with each other on your website. You might do this by setting up a forum divided into sections by topic where people can share their thoughts and experiences. Active and high-quality forums will once again bring people in and allow you to strengthen your website’s position in search engine results.

There are countless forums across a wide variety of websites throughout the World Wide Web. Even if they are not on your subject matter, there will usually be sections entitled "Other" or "Advertisements" where you can place advertisements for your activities, be they overt or indirect. The more you embrace forums, the better. This form of promotion is especially effective on forums and websites devoted to your city or town, where every reader is a potential event attendee. Location obviously doesn’t matter when it comes to distance learning or selling educational materials.

Telephone lessons aside, distance learning provides a low rate of success, as it’s difficult to monitor attempts made and their quality. Also missing is the special atmosphere created when groups of real practitioners gather. This atmosphere greatly facilitates learning, in addition to making it easier and more interesting.

Distance learning can yield a high return-on-investment thanks to the inherently-unlimited group sizes of formats like webinars and group e-mails. Many people can join thanks to the lack of geographical limitations. An instructor can have thousands of students scattered across dozens of countries while living in a small town in some backwater. The problem, however, is that people don’t pay as readily for lessons that aren’t face-to-face, which is why distance learning usually pays substantially less than in-person instruction. On the other hand, minimal expenses (the sole expense might be advertising, and that’s only if it’s paid) and the unbridled, vast potential of such forms of instruction (as well as the potential of the Internet itself) make distance learning most promising.

Take, for example, a one-time webinar. It would be realistic to enroll 1,000 people at a price of 1% the national average monthly income. You would bring in 10 times the average monthly salary and have at least half a year’s average pay left over after taxes and other expenses – not bad for work performed while wearing your slippers.
