DISCLAIMER 
 
     This book contains consciousness expanding material and techniques.  All techniques have been tested and re-produced by the author throughout a ten-year study in the related areas of consciousness.  Although the experiences and techniques has not caused any mental/physical or emotional trauma to the author, the profound nature of the material has greatly changed and enhanced his over-all view of himself as a system of consciousness. 
      By reading this disclaimer you accept that the information contained in this book is explorative in nature, but is produced without neither warranty nor guarantee, either expressed or implied.  The author will not be held liable for any damages caused or alleged to be caused either directly or indirectly by this book.  By participating in this course, you do so of your own free will, time and effort. 
      The author also encourages you to keep an open mind to the content of this course, but in the same time, if you have not had any personal experience with this material; keep a strong sense of skepticism until you yourself verify the evidence.  This can be done through first-person experience and verification through your journal.  In no way is this material designed to form some order of religion/cult or sect where by members must commit to unnecessary beliefs and practices.  This material is purely explorative with the intent to progress through controlled scientific knowledge and progressive understanding into the nature of the human mind both while awake, and while asleep.  Should any material offend your religious, political, social beliefs, the author reminds you that you are in no way obligated to believe/accept/acknowledge this material in any way should it contradict what you want to believe. 
      The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with a new avenue of techniques designed to direct the reader to certain possibilities and experiences.  The basis of research is to turn unknowns into knowns.  In addition, research helps to convert a system of belief, into a system of knowledge through, controlled and progressive experience.  This does not guarantee that some of these states will be achievable by the reader.
