Not as exciting as it sounds, not for me at least. It's more just constant work on maintaining focus as you cross over the point where you're asleep. There are other ways too and some crazy yogis doing crazy things. For those not doing extreme physical feats all of this is just prepping you for a deep resting state, then it becomes mediation. I'm certainly not running a half marathon. It's a matter of relaxation and a little discipline of the mind to remain aware once you hit that meditative state. I worked on more and more complicated visualizations and as you sharpen your mental focus for longer periods your body gets more relaxed into a state akin to sleep. I did use some frequencies with tone generators and I did the Gateway Tapes a bit. I don't know if it meets the real definition of a sleep state, but you basically are entirely unware of your body. You can sort of have your attention drawn there, but for me if I become too aware I slip into a more wakeful state. Again, this is just my experience. Drugs can do some interesting things where you're still up and about. Some people are able to really keep a foot in both worlds.
I'm curious about all these techniques and methods that all sort of paint the same picture about this being a practice found all over the planet in some form. It seems that every existing culture may have some history that goes back to cultures that were not just religious, but very spiritual in sophisticated ways that we're just starting to really examine academically. How did they know this frequency? It seems odd that these were designed all over the old world, but I think they were all just naturally tripping with ritual and meditation. It would seem to be something that would take a lot of work to develop and figure out architecture to support the process.
Humans are pretty ingenious, so I have no doubt they could organically understand that a certain noise made their brain feel a certain way. I just wonder, considering how old some of these are, how advanced must a society be to have a class of people just working on meditation and altering their brainwaves, then maybe some people working on acoustics and geometry advanced enough to engineer these spaces. Just from a logistical standpoint you need some minimum kind of stable and comfortable society to have people screwing around with mentalism. It seems pretty advanced relative to what I think history tells us. They were carving rocks and making these formations and they're tuned at a frequency that inhibits the left prefrontal cortex.
You never know, I might be doing this all wrong as far as the altered states. I think some of the Eastern practices expect you to empty your mind and keep it empty. I think it's more interesting to empty your mind and then give it some directions. The visualizations are complicated enough to really draw draw your attention. Joe McMoneagle, remote viewer number one in the FOIA that started it all, said he does complex math problems in his head as he prepares to remote view. I think it's probably the same principal for why highly complex visualization works to enter altered states.
His remote viewing is much different than a lot of the people you hear about that came later. He seems to be opening up more as he's getting up there in age. Still super sharp, but I think he's just being more candid. After listening to recent interviews I'm pretty sure that's what he's doing. He seems to be somebody with a natural aptitude, which isn't unheard of. A fair amount of the population is highly susceptible to hypnotic suggestion. Stage hypnotists have a few tricks to quickly assess people for it.
I have no experience with remote viewing so I can't speak to it. I sort of meditate into lucid dream states or just drift along and see what comes up. I have done more intense visualization to really create full mental snapshots of things that persist and can be recalled. I believe an advantage that ancient people may have had is a much deeper connection with symbols and archetypes. They had some pretty strong subconscious cultural egregores. Across all kinds of altered states from lucid dreaming, to sleep paralysis, to these deep meditative states, it seems the less you have to think consciously the better. Maybe it's just another type of thinking, more primitive or more fluid. I think that's probably reason why all the occult practices adopted symbols. They were supposed to educate themselves on these symbols and meditate on them, both improving their mental discipline and building shortcuts in the subconscious. I'm not an occultist nor well enough read on them to speak with any authority. That's my guess.
I haven't been very disciplined with a schedule lately. I've been doing a lot of reading, which is never a bad thing. I can't really imagine anything worth remote viewing. I don't get contacted by the Galactic Federation. I do 16-18 hours fasting a day, but that's not even abnormal for some people for extended periods. I haven't done any long ones in a while. I'm hoping maybe putting the time in to write down all the research will get me back into it to see where it goes after another round of intense effort. I try to do spur of the moment quick meditations somewhat routinely to keep it fresh.
I don't even need a part three now. I rambled all the way through it, sort of. I may be making it sound a bit simple. I noticed as I read through a lot of the practices of some of the old school occultists, though under that label there was a lot of flexibility over the years, that their basic practices were things I already did naturally. A lot of them are teaching an ordered through process that is replacing what would have normally been filled with religious practices for the high level priests. Sometimes it was just as complicated as any religion, maybe more so for some of the hardcore practitioners. I learned lucid dreaming from an Omni magazine as a teen, then later dealt with overcoming sleep paralysis, so I was already experienced with remaining lucid during odd states. There was a considerable education leading up to it. All the tones and rituals can help, but it's not one set of tools for everyone. Mostly it's setting aside time or having connections to shortcut drugs. People report much more profound experiences that I have using DMT or whatever else the kids are up to these days. It can be harmful for people with mental illness, prone to mental illness, and sometimes perfectly healthy people, even without a drug component.
I think it's all good for the brain. If psychedelics didn't have a bunch of legal barriers I'd probably use them periodically to improve brain health. They have supplements with mushrooms that have micro doses, but that's for tech bro budgets lol. I've always found a full dose to be helpful in the long term, though I know a lot of people have experiences they regret. I think it's really about preparation and guidance. I hope they get less restrictive on it soon. I'm not really into doing it in a doctors office though, so I need them to get a lot less restrictive.
