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.

There’s a door at the other end and that it can be easily opened. If you find your consciousness aware of other things, then follow those things but allow it its natural freedom and use it. Unfocus your attention in the usual physical environment in which your’re involved. Your consciousness is like a light for you to use. Then use it freely. Look in other areas of perception than those you usually pursue. You may perceive colors. You may see people. You may see a scene. You may simply be involved in kinetic sensation. But whatever it is follow it and allow yourself the freedom to do so.

So don’t make judgments from what you see. Or what you hear, or what you feel. All I know, that within and beyond and through the world that we know, there are other levels of reality, other dimensions of activity, other psychological gestalts that we can explore. Allow yourself the full freedom to do this. I’m going to be quiet for a moment in which time you can explore what you are experiencing. And then use my voice as a cord to bring you back to your normal perception. But in the meantime take advantage of the opportunikty to allow your consciousness its freedom.
