Saturday, 5pm The goal of this module is to provide a detailed description of methods for obtaining information using out-of-body experience state. This is the phenomenon’s most exciting field of application and one that practically everyone finds interesting. Covering this topic on day two will allow you to further motivate the students to make attempts on yet another night.

How is it possible? The most important thing to cover under this topic is that obtaining information from out-of-body experience is possible, regardless of what the explanation for the phenomenon itself is. Mystics and the esoterically-minded point to information fields, the actual physical exit of the soul from the body, and akashic records. Pragmatics see an explanation in the enormous resources of the subconscious mind that we have access to in out-of-body experience.

What kind of information can be obtained? Your task is to teach practical things. With that in mind, it wouldn’t be right for you to tell people that they can find out whatever they want from out-of-body experience, even if that is your personal belief. Nobody has ever proven that this is the case. The roughest estimate of the upper boundary of the amount of information that can be accessed in out-of-body experience is 1,000 times what the waking mind “knows”. This estimate is perhaps far too pessimistic. Meanwhile, the information accessible in out-of-body experience relates to us in one way or another: it relates to us personally, to our friends and family, our job, our hobbies, and our environment, which is exactly the information that will be useful in real life.

How to Obtain the Information There are three primary techniques for obtaining information used by novices:

Animate Objects These include people, animals, and other beings in out-of-body experience who you can simply talk to and obtain information from in that way. It’s preferable that such objects somehow relate to the information you are to obtain.

Inanimate Objects These include books, notes, televisions, radios, computers, signs, captions, symbols, etc. For example, you can look for a book on a given topic while in out-of-body experience and then look through it and read it.

The Episode Technique Here out-of-body experiencer goes to a place associated with the information he needs and simply takes it all in through his eyes. For example, say an out-of-body travelr has lost his real-world car keys. He would concentrate on them in out-of-body experience and be translocated to a place where he could have lost them.

How to Verify Information The whole difficulty here lies in the fact that while the techniques for obtaining information themselves are quite simple, the information obtained is easily distorted by erratic interference from the human mind. It’s therefore necessary to know ways to verify the trustworthiness of information. For example, you can immediately ask a control question when speaking with an object like, "What’s my name?" or, "How much is two times two?" If the object is unable to correctly answer even questions like this, you’ll need to change your approach. After finding out what you came for, you can also ask a follow-up question like, "Why is that the case?" or, "How do you prove it?" Either way, you should verify any information obtained in out-of-body experience in real life before acting on it. There’s no guarantee that it will be accurate, even if the objects have passed every test.

How to Increase Accuracy There are a number of ways to increase the accuracy of information you obtain. First, start off from the simplest things, and then gradually transition to more complicated ones. Second, the information to be obtained should be as specific as possible (e.g. "How can I increase sales at work?") and not general and vague (e.g. "What’s the meaning of life?"). Third, the information should be obtained in a passing manner that is offhanded, detached, indifferent, and deadpan – as if the information were not important.

Examples Give some examples of information obtained in out-of-body experience either from your own experience or the practitioner accounts in the book out-of-body experience. You can also find a number of illustrative examples on our internet forums and websites.

Wrapping Up the Lesson Saturday, 5:45pm If you have the time and desire to do so, you can practice some simulated attempts with the group so that they will better remember the procedure. This should be done in the same way as it was at the end of the Friday session. Also recommend that they practice the techniques more both at home and throughout the day, but never before going to bed. The better the techniques work while practicing, the better they will work upon awakening.

Let the students know that on Sunday you will be requiring not only an entrance into out-of-body experience and completion of their plans of action, but also phase-control techniques like deepening via sensory amplification and secondary separation from the body. Those who have already accomplished the first item on the group plan of action (finding a mirror in out-of-body experience) may go on to task number two, which is simple but mind-expanding experience: eating something in out-of-body experience.

Pay close attention to group morale regarding the prospect of making attempts on yet another night and morning. People usually start to tire and have difficulty concentrating before yet another set of attempts. This often results in the success rate for the second night being substantially lower than that of the first night – sometimes by several fold. To keep that from happening, try to get the students enthusiastically motivated to make more attempts.

I awoke at about eight o’clock in the morning. I quickly decided to use an indirect technique and enter out-of-body experience while I was still half asleep. I tried to levitate with my phantom body, but nothing happened. I tried to roll over, but something didn’t work that time either. I thought, "Well, it’s just not going to work today," (unwarranted inference) but decided to make one last attempt by imagining that I was getting up… and, oh, what a miracle! I started to feel as if I was really lifting my body and lowering my legs (as soon as I lifted myself by about 30 to 40 degrees, my whole body began to vibrate – it was really cool!), and then I realized that I was in out-of-body experience. I couldn’t see. I stood up and immediately began rubbing my hands. My sight came back to me within a few seconds (lack of deepening; lack of a plan of action). As I choked with joy (loss of activeness; unwarranted emotion), I was returned to my own body! (lack of secondary separation from the body)

The easiest way to find clients is free-of-charge: calling companies and asking to speak with the person in charge of rest and recuperation as well as corporate training. You would then pitch your services to that manager and give him a detailed outline of the benefits. If the potential client is even a bit interested, you should schedule a meeting with him to tell him about your offer in more detail. Such an approach naturally requires strong communication and negotiating skills. Unfortunately, it is only suitable for a certain type of person. One person might be too nervous to pick up the phone and dial a number, while another might be able to effortlessly make calls all day. Naturally, you’ll need to belong to the second category if you want to use the phone to find corporate clients.

If you have the money, you might create and publish an advertisement for corporate-training sessions in business periodicals and other publications (including online publications) that are read by company managers and decision makers. Considering the unusualness of such corporate services, you might get free publicity in the form of an article on your activities if you can get the attention of the editor of the right media outlet.

Instead of directly searching for corporate clients yourself, you can use the services of agencies that specialize in such work. Such companies can be found using the following search keywords: team building, coaching, corporate seminars, corporate training, corporate retreats, etc. They will already have a client base of their own, and so all you have to do is get them interested in your services. If everything is a good fit, the company will ask you to sign an agreement, and it will then task its agents with finding suitable clients for you and working out all the details with those potential clients. You will get paid either in the form of a flat fee or on a commission basis.

If you lack the necessary communication skills, motivation, or time, you might find someone who will agree to a certain percentage of the profit or an hourly wage to perform the work of looking for corporate clients and thus free you to concentrate only on issues directly related to instruction.

If you have friends who are managers at medium-sized or large companies or have friends with such connections, you definitely should take advantage of the opportunity to present your services from within their inner circle.

Due to the novelty of this type of corporate training session, you may encounter certain problems when looking for your first clients, but such problems will be only at the beginning stages. Moreover, considering the large number of advantages of this type of work, any and all effort put in will be more than worth it. That’s why what’s most important is to have unflinching desire, persistence, and belief in your idea. This will bring results sooner or later.

The most important thing is to not flinch at offering such unique services. This is the world of business, where everything is bought and sold. You are selling your services with all their associated benefits, and potential clients are going to make a decision based on what they need. They won’t be aware of the benefit that this can bring their employees until you explain it to them yourself.

Employers will definitely ask you what benefits this practice could bring them via their employees. You should really think through your answers to this question. Here are some examples of why employers need it:

– an additional resource for solving problems and accomplishing tasks at work thanks to techniques for obtaining information

– greater employee satisfaction with life thanks to discovering more of what it has to offer

– team cohesion is improved by dealing with atypical situations

– team cohesion is improved by dealing with extremely unusual practices

– team morale and health improved by practicing phase states

– decreased internal frustration among employees thanks to fulfillment of desires in out-of-body experience

– overall personal development among team members and expanded life experiences

– much, much more

Naturally, you should rely only on more scientific terms and concepts when appealing to such clients, with phase state or form of lucid dreaming being the most appropriate ones.

The most detailed and modern description of techniques for mastering out-of-body experience state (out-of-body experiences and lucid dreams) can always be found in the free guide from the OOBE Research Center entitled out-of-body experience. That book contains hundreds of useful tips and facts, and is the most informative work in the field. However, the fact that it goes into so much detail on the techniques does not mean that all of it needs to be taught during the lessons.

Both the students and the instructor himself may use the book out-of-body experience to further their personal practices. During training sessions, dwell upon only the simplest and most important items. This holds true for nearly all teaching formats, unless one is working with advanced practitioners.

If the goal is to really get people to learn, then there is no sense in overwhelming them with details and detracting from what’s most important. New instructors often think that their students will see them as high-level and high-status practitioners if they give out a large number of techniques. What this actually leads to is pretty-boring and hardly effective lessons that accomplish the exact opposite of what the instructor had set out to do.

To steer clear of such situations, this instruction book contains only the most important information regarding the techniques, and even that information is divided into two groups: need-to-know and nice-to-know. The information in the "nice-to-know" category has been pared down as much as possible. In any case, the instructor can easily find "nice-to-know" information in the book out-of-body experience.

The less detail you go into on the techniques, the better the students will learn them, because you will have more time to devote to the big picture on each one. The less time you devote to finer points of technique, the more time you’ll have left to teach people analysis and get them highly motivated to practice.

Being able to focus on what’s most important is the hallmark of a successful teacher. That’s why you should start with teaching the fundamentals and gradually increase the complexity of the material in keeping with the students’ length of study and level of proficiency.

All of the essentials for teaching are broken up into concise modules. It only remains to structure these modules in accordance with the appropriate training-session format. The instructor needs only follow these well-honed and tried-and-true instructions to achieve incredibly amazing results. Deviating from these instructions often imperils the instructor’s success rate.

The instructor may ease the burden of responsibility for enrolling people by working with a promoter or a recruiter. For example, you might make a deal with personable, experienced people where they get a certain commission for each person they bring in (it might be from 15 to 50 percent). This will give them maximum incentive to find attendees. If everything goes well the first time, you can keep working together and expand your joint operations while deriving benefit from the division of labor and areas of responsibility.
