If you are to succeed in anything, you must first be able to imagine it.
We possess within us a force of incalculable power, which if we direct it in a conscious manner,
gives us mastery of ourselves and allows us not only to escape from physical and mental ills,
but also to live in relative happiness.
- Emile Coue -
Visualisation
Developing our creative faculties.
The guided visualisations build on the knowledge gained in the lectures. They contain visualisation exercises (contained within a psycho-cybernetic envelope) that we perform daily to develop the mental faculties we need to function as a Metamind. The exercises come in MP3 audio-file format that you can play on your smartphone with any music app. Each exercise is approximately 30 minutes long. The exercises are available for download from the members area.
What Is Psycho-cybernetics
All exercises and mindmeet tasks are formatted as psycho-cybernetic programs. Psycho-cybernetics refers to the brain's ability to be neuro-linguistically conditioned into habitual thinking patterns. With normal neuro-linguistic programming hypnotism is employed. I disagree with this practice as it violates the individual's sovereignty of self determination. Instead I use progressive relaxation which, through repitition allows dissassociation from the body and limits sensorship of the reticular activating system (RAS) so that no self-limiting beliefs intrude during the sessions while maintaining full conscious control of ones' faculties.
Deep Relaxation
All the programs start with a deep progressive relaxation. As in Pavlov's experiment, the body becomes conditioned and goes deeper and deeper into this relaxed state with repetition. With practice you will begin to recognise it as an altered state.
The Payload
The guided visualisations can be categorised in two groups; the training exercises and the Metamind task sessions.
The training visualisation exercises are to develop certain mental faculties. Like with any activity, practice makes perfect:
- Level 1 - Eidetic visualisation. The ability to see with the mind's eye in perfect realism.
- Level 2 - Active/Creative imagination. To enable the unconscious to stream into consciousness and to watch and interact with this stream of consciousness. It is here that one meets the archetypes and can develop supersensory perception. This allows us to form concepts that are not purely based on the input from our senses.
- Level 3 - Constructing the portal. Building a bridge from the light of the brain to the light of mind across which we enter into the mind worlds.
The Metamind task visualisations make up the work that we carry out during the mindmeets. I expand more on this in the menu section, “Mindmeets”.
The members area contains detailed explanations of the psycho-cybernetic techniques and how the exercises are to be used.
