Whatever we focus on, that part of our life becomes vivid.
We all know this mechanism well. When we think of a task we intensely dislike, or a person we deeply love, that focus easily engages our entire being.
Exactly this same mechanism we can also use to deliberately activate higher functions of our awareness.
Once we start directing attention towards our moments of awakening as they occur, the higher stage shifts to the forefront of our awareness - as does any other theme of life that gets attention.
Merely DIRECTING ATTENTION opens the door to new modes of operation of our consciousness.
This simple mechanism is entirely sufficient to stimulate hitherto unknown abilities within us.
Directly to STAGE 4 In STAGE 1 we spontaneously rise to a higher stage. These brief excursions occur naturally every three to six weeks; we don't need to stimulate them by any particular activity. The frequency and duration of these insights increase, once we direct attention towards them.
Some may think to never have flash-insights. But often it is merely the label we assign these sudden 'bizarre' occurrences that prevents us from recognizing them, - we don't even know what to call them. Since nobody ever talks about these instances, we naturally assume that others do not experience them. Therefore we also do not talk about them and thus neglect to accept them as part of our life.
