I'm going to do something different for this article. I'm going to do something that faithful readers, of my articles, might never have thought possible. I'm going to get right to the point. But not yet. I'm going to drag this out another second, and then I'm going to get right to the point. Yup. Just a little longer to the point. Almost there.
Now, click here--------
Good. That outta do it.
You have just completed a test of your "not-norm" endurance. Did you manage to stay focused upon my opening remarks? Or were they too odd and unexpected? Are my words already fading from your recent memory, like a dream?
If you clicked "el clicko", you win a shiny new dime. To receive your dime, send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to:
Alan Guiden El Clicko Test
P.O. Box 1973, Covington, LA 70434
With our test complete, we can now proceed, in a serious manner (as if that's possible for me), to the matter at hand. Yes, dear readers, we have arrived at the point of this article. Here we are. Hmm. Kinda shabby in here. Perhaps a few rugs. Maybe some paintings too. Oops. Where was I? Oh yes.
A new direction. All that opening stuff you just read, and the test itself, is not important. You may disregard it as being part of the article. As a matter of fact, that stuff was so off-the-mark-out-there-weird-freaky-beyond-the-norm, that it should also be banned from all future articles, forever and ever.
OR NOT.
(It would appear that the test is still going on.) (I'm such a dickens.)
Would you say that my opening statements (and perhaps, these:) are not actually a part of this article, because they appear not to contain a word about traveling beyond your body? Should the writing be discounted because it is different? Should it be cast off to un-memory (new word, I just made it up) because it does not fit with your expectations?
The answer is no, smarty pants.
(Alan steps up to the plate, and swings at the analogy baseball!)
Just because something is unknown or different than you expect, does not make that something any less important or less real than your normal somethings.
When you travel from your physical body (or attempt to), the event will seem odd and disconcerting. Because your travel will contain such strange, new experiences (such as separating from your physical and floating above the ground), you may be tempted to let it slip away as an unrecognized, therefore impossible, event. You may incorrectly classify your travel as a dream.
But these experiences should not to be forgotten or discounted as any less important than your other knowledge. It is just different knowledge.
What prepares you for events of this nature? How can you retain these experiences later (back in the physical) and improve your travel success?
Why, of course! It simply takes...
1. Wants to travel and strives to do so.
2. Is always prepared with a plan of action and a relaxation technique.
3. Is brave, in the face of the unknown.
(not-so-unknown, if you read the book:)
4. Writes down their travel attempts/successes for later reference.
4. Pays attention to details (spot the humor, win a doughnut).
6. Examines the odd sensations and events in a rational manner.
7. Holds onto the "feelings" and images of the travel.
8. Accepts and builds upon each event, planning for the next travel.
Traveling is unusual. All of your experiences leading up to a travel, and the travel itself, do not fit into the "norm". But if you pay attention, you can sort out the details of what happens when. If you hold onto this "understanding" of the events, you will have them again. And soon, the events will not seem so unusual (at least, to you:).
Don't let the odd experiences become dream-stuff. It takes a strong desire to pull those "beyond-the-norms", from your shady thoughts, and into the light.
See. I told you. I went right to the point (almost:).
As always, please write regarding your questions, attempts and successes.
