Those of you who are new, just consider it as an adventure in consciousness and see what you can do with it. We close our eyes simply because it’s easier. I suggest that you close your eyes then. Those of you who are regular members of the class should have no difficulty in feeling that sensation that we get out of the back of our heads as if a pyramid were opening up.
I would like all of you to give yourself full freedom as far as perception is concerned. If you feel this particular sensation in the back of your head, you can just follow it. If you don’t, imagine the pyramid, the angle going out into a path that extends behind you. Those of you that have been involved in this before have simply to send your consciousness out through that pyramid so that it finds its own adventures. The others do this imaginatively.
Imagine yourself walking out, perhaps as a miniature person, out of this pyramid. If you want you can stop and look back even, at the back of your head. I really believe, and most of the people in the class do, that there are dimensions of consciousness that are open to us if we only try. And that this is one. And that this particular journey of consciousness, we are leaving ourselves completely open to experience to whatever happens without making any demands or suggestions.

Now begin to return. Begin to return your consciousness back down the pyramid to the room. The feeling connected with the back of your head should become stronger as you come back toward the self that you know, and the perceptions that are so familiar. Return gladly to the kind of perception that you always knew. Return to the body that is so secure and willing. Return gladly to the physical form that is a vehicle for your expression in this time and this place. Return to the time and the place gladly, the way someone returns to home, but knowing in the back of your mind that there are many homes and many places and many times, but for now return your focuses, settling back gladly into the body. The consciousness returning once again to the beautiful ivory bone skull, the eyes opening into the ordinary room.
