Re My Drug-free Trance Method


Vince,

    I gotta wonder why in the world
you would go to such extremes?  Sounds
to me you are fast on the way to 
getting yourself possessed.  Your
sanity ain't nothing to mess around
with - people get hurt and destroyed, 
and end up in the looney-bin where they
have no choices at all.


    In Blavatsky's writings she gives 
some heavy warnings about "spirits" and 
the like.  99% of them are things that 
it isn't profitable to encounter, and can 
be very dangerous. The "spirits" mediums 
meet in real life (and Not like the 
fictitious "Ghost Whisperer" TV program...) 
are usually the empty shells (bhuts, 
pisachas, etc.) of what used to be a person.  
The higher parts of the person go off 
to their proper place, and they leave 
an astral "Corpse" behind, which is what 
is mis-labelled a "spirit." Drugs will
do inner psychological damage as well
as just damage the "body."  Recommendation -
If you want to do experiments with sleep, -
just get a tape-recorder and record your
dreams or something - which can keep anyone
busy for a lifetime.  "Extremes" are the
result of a pathological motivation and
get people killed, psychologically or
physically.

<9a. My Drug-free Trance Method For Consciousness Expansion

<I recently attended a theosophical service that addressed the 

usage of 
psychedelic drugs for purposes of consciousness expansion.  

Although 
the class did not suggest to people that they should use 

psychedelic 
drugs, it discussed medically licensed experiments with 

psychedelic 
drugs as practiced upon patients by the 

psychologist/psychiatrist 
guest speakers.  The class was held on December 14th at the 

Wheaton 
headquarters:

<I personally don't believe in drug usage, because drugs are 

damaging 
to the body, and therefore typically constitute an act against 

nature 
and oneself.  I view natural (drug-free) methods of trance and 
meditation as superior to drug usage.  Yet I seem to find that 

many 
metaphysical thinkers have an unfortunate history of drug usage 

in 
their background.

<For example, here is a natural (drug-free) trance method that I 

have 
utilized to merge the waking and sleeping states for short time 
periods (lasting about a week after training), thereby allowing 

me to 
have direct dialogues with spirits and also dream while I'm 

physically 
awake.

<Firstly, the average person sleep 8 hours per night and is 

awake for 
16 hours per day.  But I will sometimes split my 8-hour sleep 

block 
into two 4-hour sleep blocks, thus sleeping for 4 hours and 

awaking 
for 8 hours, then sleeping another 4 hours and awaking for 

another 8 
hours, etc.  Afterwhich I split the sleep blocks again, thus 

sleeping 
for 2 hours and then waking for 4 hours, then sleeping another 2 

hours 
and awaking for another 4 hours, etc.  Then I split it again, 

thus 
sleeping for 1 hour and awaking for 2 hours, then sleeping 

another 1 
hour and awaking for 2 hours, etc, etc, etc.  Then I split it 

again 
and again.

<What effectively happens is a type of merger of the waking and 
sleeping states, wherein I am awake and asleep simultaneously 

(no 
drugs or bad drug side effects necessary).  This way, I can 

dialogue 
directly with spirits, and dream when I am physically awake.  If 

I 
should happen to have a bad experience, I just go back to 

sleeping in 
the more common eight hour blocks.  I'm not locked into a bad 

drug 
experience like some, and the overall effects of my natural 

(drug-
free) method wear off in about a week.

<Vince
