Include your students on various mailing lists so that they obtain periodic updates with news, new techniques, and new lessons. This will allow you to not only keep them up to date, but will also allow them to make real use of the training you’ve given them and not forget about it as soon as it’s over.
Three-Day Seminars
Description
Besides being a classic, the three-day seminar is also the most well-honed training format. With success occurring for 50 to 80% of the group within only 48 hours, it allows you to achieve the most pronounced results within the shortest period of time. Fast results and effectiveness make recruitment for this out-of-body experience and lucid-dreaming training format a breeze. Meanwhile, the training sessions themselves are easy and fun to conduct. The three-day seminar is therefore the most recommended training format.
In order to allow personal contact with each attendee, the optimal group size is between 30 and 40 people, though these are by no means upper or lower limits. The best time to hold a three-day seminar is to have Day 1 on Friday from 7pm to 10pm and Days 2 and 3 on Saturday and Sunday from 2pm to 6pm. Depending on the size of the groups and the city itself, you might hold such seminars at least once every four to six weeks.
If need be, the information given to students over 3 days of lessons can be compressed into 2 days. This might be necessary at certain retreat seminars or when working together with other organizations that are unable to provide you with more time for one reason or another.
There is also a more advanced, hybrid version of the three-day seminar that involves full immersion: at the end of the agendas for Days 2 and 3, add in a break and then tack on an hour’s worth of practice of the indirect techniques (Day 2) and direct techniques (Day 3). As a result, all three days of lessons will conclude with real practice, which should be performed with the students lying down and listening to soft background music. The room you’re in should allow for this.
Typical Instructional Difficulties
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.
Day 1:
Module No. 1: Introduction: General theory and motivation
Module No. 2: The indirect method (theoretical background)
– Break
Module No. 2: The indirect method (practice and simulation)
Day 2:
Module No. 11: Analysis
– Break
Module No. 6: Deepening the state
Module No. 7: Maintaining the state
Module No. 9: Translocation and finding objects
Module No. 10: Practical application (obtaining information)
Day 3:
Module No. 11: Analysis
– Break
Module No. 3 The direct method
Module No. 10: Practical application (self-healing)
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).
