Universal Force-Forth Stage

The Force Shift 4

In the previous stages we have supplied you with the tools to control your connection to the Universal Force. What defines a Knight, from a novice, though, is he ability to control the Force at will. In this lesson you will expand and refine the abilities you have previously learned so that you may more efficiently remove the boundaries that are limiting your understanding and awareness. Controlling and Expansion are the topics of this stage, as in some instances your will need control, and in others you will need to expand. The active and passive principles of the Force exist in all things, even in one connection to the Force itself.

You have already started the process of refining your expansion and focusing in techniques like blending and the turning inward. In these techniques the expansion and focusing have always been linked to a specific goal, a specific technique. Now we are going to disrobe the need for a specific experience and learn to control the force without the definition of a technique. This skill leads the Sith to experience the force in a way in which he can create his own techniques, his own methodology for success.

Though the Force itself is unlimited, it does require a set level of concentration to work with. This is why you have worked through various degrees of activity in your previous training. You will now learn to exert conscious control over the normally autonomic fucntions of Force Interaction. You can think of this as Force Based biofeedback if that helps. Once you have mastered controll, you can, at will, increase the scope and speed of the Forces autonomic adjustments, and thus truly find power in the Force.

Force Control 1 : Focus and Expansion

This technique, though simple, familiarizes yourself with the movement of the force through your will. Practicing it for the week gets the Force and Body connection used to the idea that it moves in accordance with your will every time, and instantly. Though aspects of this have existed in previous techniques, continue to practice this technique for one week, in isolation to other techniques you have learned up to this time. At this point your daily practices should amount to a good bit of time as you move through all the techniques you have learned till now. All this practice will give you reliable results when using the force in day to day interactions.

         as usual sit or lie comfortably, asume a position you associate with spiritual practices. Relax the body, Force shift up and out, and spend a moment just enjoying the real you.

         contrary to normal practices, I don’t want you to blend, or try and look inward, or anything of the sort. I just want you to experience the real you and see if you can feel where the boundaries you have placed on your “awareness” reside.

         once you have established where you are limiting yourself use it as a visualized bubble and extend that bubble out in all directions. You should feel your awareness expand, your connection to everything expand. Take a moment to enjoy this feeling then release the “expand” comand from your mind and notice how the Force awareness seem to retract back to where it was as soon as you force shifted.

         now we are going to contract, or focus, if you will. Feel the boundaries you placed on the Force come closer to the body, to contract into it, making it a smaller and smaller ball of condensed energy within you. You will probably begin to feel uncomfortable or tight, like someone is sitting on your chest, or the air has become thin. Contract this energy as far as you can manage and hold it there for a moment. Experience the focused and compressed you and how it seem to limit your senses and awareness.

         now release that and return to the state you were in during the initial Force shift. Notice how the body naturally returns to that level of focus. If for some reason you awareness does not return to its beginning state all by itself, remember where you started and will it out to that level. It is exceedingly rare, but it does happen sometimes.

         now repeat these procedures varying how far out and in your go, stop the expansion at certain distances from yourself, so that you are truly in controll of the Force.

Note all experiences in your journal

Force Blending 4

Once you have learned Meditative Blending, the next hurtle is the experience blending with the eyes open. This leads to a rapid connection to things within your eyes view. This is the first stage to taking blending out of the world of meditative pursuits and expand it into the world of applicable technique.

Once you mastered eyes closed blending, you built a foundation by which distraction can not affect you, but when the eyes are open and the world is in motion, a new level of stimuli assaults your senses, requiring you to rapidly shift focus from distraction back to technique. with a little practice you will be able to apply a meditative like waking state no mater what the situation, giving you access to true power.

Blending with Eyes open

         relax and sit comfortably. repeat the previous procedure for blending. tune in with your whole being this time do so with you eyes open from the very beginning.

         even though your eyes are open don't be distracted with the things you see or things that pass into your vision. become more aware of the sensations coming from your body and less of those coming from your environment.

         focus your awareness up through the various parts of the body and blend them together to become one. rest here for a moment and relax and feel how easy it truly is to blend with everything, to become one with everything, even with your eyes open.

         after a few moments, begin to blend outwards, take in the chair floor and etc, all like you did in the first blending exercise, just keep your eyes open. if you feel like your losing it go back to the beginning and start the blend from scratch.

         after a few moments begin to move your eyes around the room. follow the Sith with your blend. feel as if your eyes resting upon an object brings you instant blending capabilities with what you see. you have no limits, you can blend with anything you see.

         finally shift your vision focus out until you see the entire room and allow that connection to offer your blending with all the objects within your sight at once. feel the completeness of seeing it and blending with it simultaneously.

         enjoy this sensation for a few moments then return your focus to your body, then return normal physical orientation as you have done in the previous exercises.

Force Sense exploration: 4

One of the most common and well known of the Reception areas is the Vision Force reception area. Known as the Third Eye, Anja the brow chakra, and the Pineal gland. The Pineal gland is the closes to the Sith understanding of this reception area.

In theosophical understanding, humans used to have a physical third eye, one that over time and evolution sunk into the head, and now only exists within the brain as the Pineal Gland. Now though we don’t agree with the Teosophists about the existence of a physical third eye, our research has shown increased brain activity in this region during “visions”, “remote viewing” and “auric sight”. This gland however is not directly focused on, instead vision is an ever flowing sence of time and space, and so we direct focus from the front moving back. This is why people see the “third eye” being in the forehead. It is there, traveling back to the Pineal gland that the phenomenon of Force Vision can be reliable\y and consistently induced.

The question may then be if the pineal gland is the source of the cennection within the brain then why inlide the forehaead at all. Well this understanding comes from the fact that the frontal lobe, through which this reception area flows, is the comprehension center of the brain, all final stages of visual interpretation are resolved through activity in this part of the brain. So one without the other, if your lucky, will only result in cursory, distorted and unreliable data. Folwing the point, like a funnel from inside the brain at the peneal gland, and out to the forhead through the frontal lobne create a complete stimulation of all centers necessary to receive and interpret visions in the force.

Here is an easy way to familiarise yourself with the differences between physical vision and force vision. Open and close your eyes. Notice how as soon as your eyes close your attention shifts immediately up to the forehead. With your eyes closed all you have left is your vision I the force, the body knows this, and so without conscious will by yourself, the body begins to focus on Force Vision. The first of the follwing techniques will further refine this quick shift location and help to define both the physical centers of vision as well as the center of the Force Vision.

Vision Focus Shift

         sit comfortably and relax. Before we try and pinpoint the exact location of the Reception area for Force Vision, we need to establish eh center of your physical vision. Awareness of how that center of focus shifts will become a crucial aid into working on calling your Force vision to bear immediately.

         begin by finding the center point of your physical vision. Relax and look strait ahead. While looking at the entire seen directly in front of you feel where the center of your vision is in relation to your face. Imagine a line is stretching from the center of your field of vision and running strait back to your face, where does it touch you? On average the perception of the center of physical vision is around 1 inch below the brow centered between eye eye on the ridge of the nose.

         if this visualization renders poor results try extending your arm in front of you and pointing back at yourself, then bring your finger towards your face, constantly centering it in your field of vision until you touch your face. Where did you touch? This is your Physical Vision center

         now lets find the center of our Force Vision. Holding onto the feeling of your physical vision center, close your eyes and see if you can feel the shit and were exactly it goes to. Most people feel this as a slight shift, but some can pinpoint with crystal clarity were the center of that vision slides to. Open and close your eyes a few time to see how exact you can get in feeling the vision shift.

         now with the eyes closed, try and feel where the center of your visual perception is. Obviously you wont have the room to see, but you will probably be able to picture it almost instantly. Draw that same line as before, dividing the image and finding the exact center of it then drawing a line of that center to the head. You can also do the touch technique. With your eyes closed, holdn your hand out, point at what you feel is the center of your imaginary vision and bring it back to your head till you touch yourself. Surpise its not the center of the physical vision that you just touched a few minutes ago. Press hard or in some other way make sure you have a strong idea of where the center of the force vision is, and opn your eyes. Gently focus your attention on this area the importance not really the exact location so much as the “shift” that is occurring of your focus upward.

         switch focus back and forth and notice the difference in experiences. Does one seem cleare? More blurry? Like your vision is wider? Are you suddenly seeing halo effects around object and people? Compare and contrast experiences

Note your experiences in your journal

Force vision actually comprises two very different skills. Phrophecy or clairvoyance is probably one of the oldest of the “psychic” vision abilities. Its reference since the dawn of recorded time. The Other is Auric sight, the ability to see the energy of others, or of matter itself. It is a belief that though clarivoyant prophecy was rare in the old days, auric vision was still a skill people relied on. This would explain the fact that cultures have little connection with each other all describe their spiritual heros with glowing auras around the head, halo’s in christian mythology.

Now heres where thigns get tricky. Because both experiences utilise the same reception area, auric sight has tendancy to get poluted bby clairvoyant imagery, and clarvoyant imagery tends to get poluted with auric sight. Isolating and training the two seporatedly is a necessity to refine the skills in each area. Whether Force vision proves to be one of your strengths or weaknesses, the sith is advised to attempt to develop skills in both mediums and areas.

Auric vision being the easiest and most usefull directly out of the gate, I would like to discuss this first. Before we get into the technique itself though, lets take some time to adress a few keys for better and more reliable auric vision.

Four keys to better experience:

(1) Auras must be viewed with your inner eye. You can not see an aura with your physical eyes, it wont work, so stop trying. Most people try and focus really hard or stare and expect their physical vision to somehow pop out and show them the aura. This leads to headaches, eye strains, and feelings of self doubt as you fail. When your seeing an aura, you force vision is superimposing the energy it is receiving through the reception areas over the top of your physical vision. No amount o0f straining or focusing is going to make it better so don’t try.

(2) don’t stare. Staring locks your focus on your physical eyes, it contracts and expands the pupils in an attempt to bring the object into focus. By doing this your overpowering any possible information you could be receiving from the reception areas and so you will fail. Stop it, sith don’t fail, so don’t repeat patterns of behavior that lead to it.

(3) use gentle control to stay focused on the Reception area. The shift will automatically take place when you relax your vision. All you have to do is become aware of the shift and allow it to do what it needs to to overlay the image. Remain conscious of maintaining a higher level of focus on the area, but don’t strait or stare. If you find yourself slip into staring (a natural occurance when the aura first manifests for you is to stare at it blinking it out almost instantly) relax and gently shift back to the reception area.

(4) don’t listen to new age mumbo jumbo. Auras have no color. There is no light reflecting off of mater to stimulate the eyes to percieve color. Auras are not the same kind of energy as matter. They do not have a nucleas surrounded by electrons. They do not repel other types of physical energy. They are not waves of light. Trying to see a color only adds strain on the eyes and causes one to lose focus. Most people experience color because their mind is trying to make a symbolic link to an emotion YOU represent with that color. This is one of those polutions of the clairvoyant aspect of auric sight. Just relax and let it be and see it as it is.

Aura Identification

Now that we have established the keys to success lets move on to the technique and a method of testing it. This technique requires the involvement of other people. If you do not have access to a training partner you will need to go out somewhere till you find some people you can practice this on.

         find a person who is sitting or standing, who isn’t moving around a lot, and who is standing in front of a light back ground. (this is the easiest way for the initial experience)..

         face the subject from about ten feet aweay. Become aware of your vision reception area. While looking at the person relax your vision and shift focus up.

         when you feel in tune with the vision reception area allow that peception to overlaw on the person you are looking at. Let your eyes rest on the person but focus on your forehead. Sometimes it helps to try and “look” at the person from the level of the third eye. Do don’t look directly at the person but over their head and slightly beyond.

         you will begin to see a thin (one to three inch section from your persepctive) band f light glow around the body. You will generally see it first in the head and shoulder areas, or around the hands. The more you relax and the more you can activate the reception area the clearer this energy will become.

         switch subjects till you have practiced on at least 4 or 5 different people.notice how some peoples auras are wider and thicker, some seem spider webby some seem solid. After a few moments on each person return to your normal focus

Note your results in your journal

Testing

This is one of those technique that have a lot of testing abilities, but they require a partner to test. To perform this test you will need to create two lists, list one should be a list of directions of movement step right, step left, kneel, step forward, step back. Randomize this list. The second list is more a collection of pictures, they can be any pictures you can find, I recommend creating a pool of 20 or 30 images.

Test 1 : when one lies the heart rate increase, the blood pressure raise and the electro dermal skin activity changes, this can be monitored by machines, however what also happens is the aura sucks itself back into the body, working as a catalyst for these physiological changes. if the aura can be controlled later on toe extend out during a lie, these physiological processes would occur and a polygraph can be easily defeated. This takes time and practice though, and the average person you will find to train with wont be able to do this.

The tester there for takes the pool of images lifting one up to his face and telling you what it is. Sometimes he will tell the truth, other times he will lie. You are to watch the aura and see if it shrinks or expands. Note the results of such tests and look for patterns. Perhaps you always have a problem seeing when someone is lying about love. Ok that demonstrated a mark in your subconscious a wall you don’t want to face. In this way your auric training also serves to illuminate the things you are hiding within, that you don’t want to face.

Test 2: In the Circulation sections you learned how the mind leads the body. Thought occurs and with that thought living force energy is flooded in muscles and append gages preparing to act. The aura being a extension of Force energy around the body must also move clearing the way for the body to fill the space now vacant. This effect is very useful as with auric sight you can see in which directiona person is going to move before they do it. The Teser takes the randomized list of directions and faces you, for a few moments the tester things of nothing more then moving. As soon as you utter he is going to take that step in the direction outlined on the list. All he is waiting for is your voice. As you watch him you will see the aura go in the direction he is planning on going into the direction of his thought. When you are confident of your choice, tell him, and watch him take his step. This provides you instant feedback on how accurate you are.

With practice these two tests will provide the student with a constant stream of auric data. Further expanding his world and knowledge.

The Three types of Clairvoyant reception

There are primarily four methods by which clairvoyant imagery is placed within the perceptions of a practitioner. The Abstract picture, the visual memory, and the literal image. Because these three are subtle and can easily be confused with the others, most clairvoyant training is haphazard and difficult to create reliable results. Lets take a deeper look into the three.

The Abstract Picture or Symbol

The abstract symbol is one of the most common versions of “sight” through the Force. When remote viewing a majority of test subjects described vage images of light that were bent into basic shapes or designs. When asked to draw these the viewers did their best and the shapes and style could almost always be found within the target image. This abstract image can and usually does evolve into what can best be called a gestalt image. Like a silhouette picture your get an overall shape filled in with a certain color or density that the mind can recognize but couldn’t finish. Do a quick search for gestalt imagery and yo9u will find many examples that explain this type of Force Phenomenon

The Visual MemoryClairvoyant images occur when the mind attempts to break down energetic information and create an image your mind can actually understand. Ironically in most cases you cant understand it but the mind is still trying. In many cases the mind will rely on past experiences you have to easily access visual memory and show you those pictures. It will take people, events, movies you have watched, any image it can find from your memory and stuff it into your consciousness in an attempt to show you what it feels is important. Sadly most researchers tell their subjects to ignore the minds daydreaming about moments in their past and just try and free their mind. This directly effects the minds ability to translate force energy into pictures for you, and in many cases retards your development in this area.

The Literal Visual Image

As time goes by and your skills improve your ability to tap into, and process the energy of the force becomes so acute that you can receive exact images relating to the information from the force. One of the things research has show to increase this ability is art classes. If your mind knows how to take an image and draw it on paper one line at a time until it creates a picture. Once the brain learns this ability it can do the same with the energy it is receiving from the force. Drawing a picture line at a time in your mind, at the speed of thought, to create an exact image from distant times or places.

The Symbolic Image

The symbolic image can be a double edged sword. If you have studied a good deal of symbolism in your life, your mind can take these symbols and pictures (in a sense an extension of memory images) and place it in your view to be interpretive. It is the symbolic image most people reading tarot, or performing other new age nonsense are actually relying on. They give vague symbols that can be interpreted in almost any way. So the Sith need to be aware that if he is receiving a symbolic meaning he understands what that image means to him. This can take a lot of time and practice to instill, but by doing so creates an efficient method by which the Sith can receive clairvoyant imagery.

Clairvoyant type Image Reception

The Technique itself is fairly simple, im sure you have already figured out how to do it yourselves, but for those of you who have not figured it our yourselves, here it is.

         Relax, sit comfortably and close your eyes. Focus on the vision reception area rest here a moment focusing on the heightened sense of perception offered from connection to the force. See what images come flashing to mind. If you have done the Control course you will be well used to following and noting images as they appear in your mind without interruption.

         now bring to mind the names of at least 5 people you know that you will be able to check impressions with later. If working in a group just choose five of that group to focus on. Bring to mind each person one at a time. Sense what images you get in regards to these people. Ask the force mentally to show you what you need to know about them. Do not try to analyse any of these pictures or this information, just not as much of it as possible and right it down. Close your eyes again and go on to the next person

         now take another sheet of paper and write the names of 5 people on separate pieces of paper. Lay them on the ground name side down and mix them up. Focus on each paper in turn and receive whatever pictures you can from the Force in regards to each one. See if those images can help you to identify the person. When you are done with each paper then flip them over and note in your journal what your results were.

         after going through the exercises sections, bring your focus back down to your normal eyes level, open your eyes and add everything into your journal.

Testing

The exercises contained within the guided work above serve as a type of test in and of themselves, but if you want to take this training to the next level of training you will want to utilize the laboratory controlled structure of remote viewing.

Creating the target pool First you want to create what is called a target pool. A simple training target pool should consist of approximately 100 images. You cant print these out, use old pictures from life, or go through magazines to find your images. When selecting images try and find images that have one land mark or object in them, to the exclusion of all objects if you can only find very busy objects make sure there is at least one primary object in the image. There are tons of remote viewing sites around the internet that you can use to create a target pool.

One the images are selected take each image and wrap it in a piece of opaque paper ( I use black paper), fold it until it will fit in an envelope, seal the envelope and place it in your target pool box. When all 100 images are in the box, mix them up just so you have no way of remembering what order any of the images are in. put this aside to be used whenever you train/test.

The process. Take any position you feel comfortable with, relax breath do whatever you feel necessary to prepare you for the session. Take a pad and paper, or even a tape recorder and place it next to you.

When you feel ready select an envelope, assign it a random number (4-8 digits is the norm) and write the number on the envelop and the top of your journal paper. Place the envelop a few feet away from you, no “accidentally” shining it up with a light (all though the opaque paper makes this usueless anyway)

Bring the number to mind and focus on your vision reception area. Not the images coming through the force, if your using a tape recorder call them out, if your using a journal try to remember as many as you can then open your eyes, right them down or draw what you see, close your eyes and refous on the target.

Do this until you are getting no more data. Once you feel you have received it all note the time od day the day the month, as much information as you can about the environment or how you were feeling before the exercise and now after. Later on this information can be used to determine best viewing times and etc.

Transfer whatever results you can to your journal for your instructor to see and comment on.

Universal Force-Fifth Stage

The Force Shift 5

In the last stage you learned to Expand and Focus, this skill is essential to furthering your skill set in the Arts. In this stage we are going to continue where we left off and continue to interact with the Universal Force by learning to Direct and Channel. Learning to expand your abilities by focusing in a certain direction to increase and heighten awareness will lead the Sith to a myriad of techniques and applications.

Learning to guide directional awareness is nothing more then controlling the Direction of your attention through the Force. The Force follows the will of Sith, and so with little work, the Sith can bend the force in the direction of their choosing. You can, and will, learn to narrow the beam that is your attention through the Force. This narrowed focus may cut off the bidirectional nature of the Universal Force, but in effect, it increase the range by which one can apply change.

Once you have refined your directional control, you can use to to project or apply other Force abilities. These keys forms the basis for reading others or effecting their emotions. One of the wonderful skills you will be able to perform after learning this directional control is channeling. Defining Channeling in the Sith tradition is a path of middle ground. Physics defines channeling as “a process that constrains the path of a charged particle into a solid”, where as the standard Esoteric understanding channeling is “becoming an intermediary between the world of the living and the world of the dead, listening to, and relaying messages from spirits, or allowing a spirit to control the body and speak through it directly”.

Channeling, in the Sith tradition, is the controlled creation of a tunnel that the Sith can utilize to actively fill a targeted location, object, or person with Universal, Living, or Spiritual Force energy. It is this skill that forms the basis of the majority of active Force techniques mastered by the Sith. This is a primary skill, and through it the Sith may develop techniques of his own.

Force Control 2 : Direction and Creating the Channel

         Relax, sit, or Lie comfortably, and close your eyes. Tune out your surroundings and Force Shift.

         as you did previously, apply the Focusing and Expansion technique.Think of this as stretching out before exercise.

         once you have completed your Focus and expansion, expand out again, but gradually focus your entire expanded awareness in one direction. Do not lose your awareness of the other directions, let them drift into the background of your awareness like indistinct sounds. Feel the heightened awareness you felt with the expansion, but only in the direction of your choosing. In this stage we aren't really focusing on the size or shape of the Force so much as we are focusing the attention of it.

         practice for a few moments switching between full awareness expansion and directional awareness expansion. Switch up the directions every once in a while to insure you do not over train a singular direction. A good concept is to image your focus is working like a light house light. Sweeping a beam of awareness all around you, shadowing the other awareness, but bringing into further clarity the locations the beam sets on.

         after completing this general direction training, chose a single direction you feel particularly comfortable with, and focus your full attention along this path.this time heighten your directional awareness, extending even farther to its maximum degree of awareness. Feel your awareness being unlimited in range and depth Along that line of focus. As you do this notice how your focused awareness in this singular direction seem to have boundaries, like a tunnel. It only reaches so high, and so wide, and it almost feels as if information is traveling down this tunnel through the force and into your mind.

         repeat this focused awareness and tunnel forming a few times. Shift from normal heightened awareness to the channeled awareness. When you have succeeded in this a few time gradually shift your awareness back to the expanded force shit, then normal force shift, then into the head and finally restoring the body to natural orientation. Open your eyes and gentle move to restore normal orientation.

Note the results in your journal

Force Control 3 : Channeling Energy

There are three basic skills necessary for the successful channeling of energy to a location, object, or person. The First skill is how to draw on the Force. There are many ways of doing this, and the student is advised to research different methods and practice them, one method is through the Dark Meditation, and it is that we are going to rely on in this technique. The Second Skill necessary is the ability to hold in mind a specific vibration (you have learned this through the sensing techniques if you are receiving, and the circulation technique if extending). The final skill is the establishment of a directed awareness channel, which you learned above. You can think of these three skills as nodes, power starts at the first node, jumps to the second and it grounds of the recipient. Here is a simple formula for you

Power Node (the force) + Mental Node (specification of power) + Chanel Node (path of power) = Technique

With a deep understanding of these three nodes, any and every technique can be created. Mastering these nodes will lead the sith to the creations of many a wondrous techniques. These nodes also allow the sith to break down an analyses new techniques he comes across. If you find a spell, ritual, or secret technique ask yourself what are its nodes. If you cant find them, it is almost certain the technique will not work, or is a technique of self delusion, and so should be dis-guarded by the Sith.

         Begin by picking a location you have easy access to. In this exercise you will use this location as a focal point for the Chanel Node. Briefly go to the area you have selected and tune in to all your senses to get a good feel of the vibrations of the target area. Do not dwell there to long, your just looking for a basic vibration pattern by which to isolate energy. It is at this point that we are establishing the Mental Node.

         Now relax, sith or lie comfortably and close your eyes. Begin the Dark Meditation, and use the rising of the Force from the Second Heart as a guide for directing your consciousness up and out into the Force Shift. Once firmly in tune with the Universal Force, bring to mind the feeling of the energy of darkness you are drawing from your second heart. Feel the vibrations of you anger, and your hate, or evil if you have progressed that far in your training. Do not lose the Force shift while experiencing the awesome power that is your inner darkness.

         feel yourself surrounded by the aura of Dark Power you have created. Revel in it, feel every heightened sense as you have been training in up to this point. Expand and contract to normal force shift a few times and then begin focusing your awareness in the direction of your chosen location. Feel the awareness form the tunnel as you did in the previous exercise.

         once you feel the channel is formed begin to direct your inner darkness down the tunnel. Feel the vibrations of your dark side ripples out of you and down the channel to the location. If you are having trouble focusing on that location bring to mind its vibration pattern when you establish the Chanel, and then begin to will your Dark Side energy down the Chanel.

         continue to channel this energy until you feel the location as been sufficiently bombarded with the Dark Side of the Force. Gradually stop channeling and return your focus to its normal orientation, when you are ready open your eyes. Once your physical orientation has returned, get up and go over to that location. Tune into your Senses and feel the energy of the area. How Does it feel? If you have succeeded you will feel a palpable difference in the area or room.

         if you have a partner you can rely on, tell them nothing of what energies you have sent to the location. Have them stand in it and ask them how it feels. Humans, even untrained ones, are acutely aware of the vibrations in a room. that’s why phrases like “you could feel the anger in the room” and “you can feel the tension in the air”, are so common.

Force Blending 5

At this point, im sure you have experienced the awesome power and connection of the Force to all things through your blending. One of the most practical and useful skills in a Siths repertoire. But really, how useful is sitting or standing around with your eyes closed? Obviously this closed eyes problem need to be rectified and that is what we will be covering in this stage. Like Force Shifting with eyes open, we are going to work with blending with eyes open.

JedI like teach of calmness and meditative states being necessary to experience the Force. Though this is true for beginner the Sith is above and beyond such mundane concerns. As with all aspects of the Force, blending is truly available all the time, anywhere you are, and no matter what you are doing.

Blending, besides its obvious combative use, brings a certain level of awareness and harmony with the people and situations you come into contact with. Negotiations, social interaction, even working in an office can all become more efficient if one blends with the environment. The First step in taking blending out of the meditation room and into life is blending in motion. With practice this Bi Level blending ability will become second nature, and a whole new world of experience and interaction will be yours to do with as you see fit.

It is here, in blending that true connections to others are made, not in mentally thinking compassionately at them. It is here control of emotion becomes a necessity, as blending with others means you are subject to Their emotions. It is here the Sith proves his worth over every other force tradition…. Do you have what it takes?

Blending in Motion

* as usual sit and relax comfortably, perform all techniques necessary to Force Blend. Tune into the Force body connection, having blended with the self and now exist as a total being.

* slowly open your eyes and retain the feeling of the Force Blend. Without yet moving, scan the room with your eyes, allow your eyes to function as the guidance for your blending experience. Blend with everything your eyes touch as they touch it. Take a few moment and make sure you are tracking and blending perfectly with just your eyes.

* now slowly raise to a standing position, maintaining the feeling of oneness. Take slow meditative like steps blend with the floor with each step, as you pass objects blend with them as you move. Occasionally stop and place a hand on an object and blend deeply with that object. Continue walking and attempt to maintain that deep level of connection to the blended objects.

* if you can practice outside, then do so. Continue your blending walk. Include anything in your vision or that you pass. Blend with them and feel them become one with you. don’t forget to add touch in as well, touching a random tree or male box or whatever you come upon. Notice the limits of how far you can walk from the object before you begin to loose focus on it.

* slowly and methodically increase speed and gate until you reach a normal tempo. After a bit turn around and return to your room. Gradually bring your focus back to your normal physical orientation while you walk, just like you did in previous exercises. When you get back home you should be entirely back in your body and ready to write down your experience.

Note as much info as you can in these exercises as it will let you know your limits, and prepare you to account for events outside of your current abilities.

Force Sense Exploration 5

Once you have experienced using the 4 primary Force Senses (that’s right I said 4, yet the course only outline three, guess you’ll have to figure that last one out yourself) individually, then the next stage of your evolution is to experience them together. In this stage of training we will be accessing the Force Senses not only simultaneously but also with the eyes open. We are getting to the stage in training that very rarely will I start you off with eyes closed. We don’t walk around life with our eyes closed, so there is really very little helping in mastering the Force that way.

None of your sense, Force Based or Physical, exist in a vacuum,. As you learn, we have you focus on them individually, so that you may strengthen your connection to them. However, once you can access them all, and combine those with your physical senses, you will no longer need the isolations, and you will find the benefit far outweighs the extra time you spent learning.

You can liken the use of all Force senses to the use of all Physical Senses. If you were to watch a movie with the sound off, only looking at it. You would miss content, you would dampen the enjoyment. If could Hear and feel and smell through out life, but losing site limits your enjoyment of the moment. Imagine eating food that had no smell or taste. In all these example excluding senses dampens the true experience of the moment, so to will the true knowledge and experience of the Force be dampened by relying only on one Force Sense.

Many apprentices, see power in a singular sense and choose to only develop that sense. Information is lost and tests you could pass, are now failed. You have Four psychic senses so why not utilizes them all for more knowledge. We Begin this act by performing a technique called Channel Switching. As you continue on with this technique, the switching eventually becomes so fast that in essence they are perceived by you to be all coming in at once. When you combine these with your physical senses you truly live your potential, and the unlimited power of the Force is at your fingertips.. The Sith have a name for this experience, we call it the Nine Gates

The Nine Gates

Before beginning the 9 Gates the student should have discovered the last of the reception areas. Be it through the Force, or through Initiation with the Teacher, the reader must understand that this technique assumes you know them all. This technique can be performed as 8 gates if you have not discovered the 9th gate, but successful completion of this course does not occur until the 9th gate is found.

         chose 5 people you know, it can be anyone you choose. Later after the exercise you can tell them your impressions and get whatever feedback is possible. You can also utilize the target pool from the previous stage, choosing 5 envelopes and number them. Bring the First person/envelop to mind. Shift your awareness to the first reception area on your list. Without opening your eyes shift to the next area and note everything you can from that sense. Continue this for the other two. Open your eyes and write down your impressions.

         repeat the procedure for the second and third person/envelope on your list, each time speeding up the reception of information from each Force Sense. For the Forth person repeat the process, except this tie keep your eyes open, practice focusing on the reception areas even though there are distraction in your physical vision. For the final of the 5, continue to keep your eyes open but attempt to move through the senses even faster this time. You should be increase the speed of the data coming in, and increasing the speed at which you switch force senses.

         after you have performed all 5 people/envelops, review your information and check them against the information you get from the people, or open the target envelope and compare it to the picture. Record everything of this stage in your journal. How accurate were you? How easy was it for you to shift from one sense to another? Which sense was easiest? Which one gave you the most accurate information? Which was hardest to rapidly shift to? How well did you do with your eyes open? Answer all these questions and any others you can come up with.

         repeat this procedure for the remaining 4 objects on your list, insuring you have at lest 4 multi-sense combinations for each object. If this comes easy step up into two or three senses at once. For example you could learn over and smell an object then rapidly shift through Force Hearing and Vision and throw in a feeling at the very end. After you have finished, review your notes and consider the results. Where there any particularly interesting objects your chose? Did some objects render more information and connection with others. What combinations seemed to produce the most accurate results? How many sense could your rapidly shift through at once?

Eventually, you need to work up to rapidly shifting through all 4 Force senses at once and a focused shift through your physical senses as well. Some objects will give no stimulation's for some of the physical senses, so its ok if the times in your life where all nine gates are active are rare. However since all the physical senses work together without our conscious thought, the second we are able to combine our Force senses to even one physical sense, we are achieving the 9 gates

Universal Force-Sixth Stage

In this final stage we are going to raise the bar on achievements. The Sith Apprentice will be striving without tension, focusing without effort, and willing without stress, and he will be doing this all under compound distractions caused by action or multi-focus. Successful completion of this stage sees completion of the Universal Force course. remember though, you are only deceiving yourself if you do not complete these stages properly.

The Force Shift 6

Just as you can use an energy channel to direct energy to locations, people, or things; the energy channel can be reversed, the flow, inverted, drawing to you the energy patterns that constitute Force awareness. Mastering this stage of understanding and use of the Force, will begin to layer the knowledge you have built so far into a single technique, a single shift that opens all skills and abilities at the same time. We have trained them separately at this point, but now we begin to layer them together.

Directional Sensing combines the Force capabilities of  Directional Awareness, Channeling, and the Force Senses. Like the physical senses, Force senses tend to become weaker the farther away the source of the energy pattern is, to combat this, Kissai began experimenting with combinations of the Force Shift and the Force Senses. Though it holds much in common with Bi Level sensing, in this case we are using the connection to the Universal Force to, in essence, strengthen the range of you antenna.

The Process of Directional sensing consists of two phases. Let us look at our equation to understand the necessary parts of this technique.

Power Node (Force) + Mental Node (Specification) + Chanel Node (Path) = Technique

Force Shifting -      Enhancing Force Senses    - Energy Tunnel(-)   =    Directional Sensing

This is why we taught you the Formula for Power. You can use it to create any technique you so desire, and even to break that technique down to constituent elements necessary to refine control and get better results. If we look at our above Node order, we now have only to perform this things as stages in our techniques, we have practiced them all individually through out this course already. This is how the technique was created but it has evolved a bit since then.

Before I walk you through the technique, I would like to point out the  (-) symbol next to Energy Tunnel. This is one of the Key differences to the technique. In this case the (-) represents the direction the energy is flowing. In the original tunneling technique you established the tunnel then sent energy (+) down it, now we are going to Pull Energy (-) from the target towards ourselves. Using these symbols along with Short Hand representation of the Nodes (PN) - (MN) - (CN) - (T) make the illustrations of technique within ones own journal a bit more secure, as no one, other then yourself will understand the Short Hand marking.

Directional Sensing

1.         Relax sit comfortably and close your eyes. Follow the procedure for Force Shifting. When you are completely in tune with the Universal Force, gently open your eyes. As you did in The Force Walk, maintain your Connection to the Force as you slowly Stand up.

1.         take a moment and move around the room. Now as you did in Direction and Creating the Channel, focus all you awareness in one direction, at any object or person you desire, preferably in a different room, and set up an Channel. Instead of directing energy through that channel, allow its vibrations to travel down the channel to you. Take a few moments and notice that even without focusing on the Reception areas you are already interpreting the vibrations through your connection to the Force.

1.         Take a moment and soft focus on each of the reception areas in turn without losing the Force shift. Notice that there is only a slight increase in the quality of information, but that the increase is there. Move around your room choosing a few objects at random and running through the Tunnel and the Force Senses together. When you feel you have practiced enough allow the Channel to dissolve, bring the awareness back to universal, then into the head. Insure you have proper physical orientation before going about your day.

1.         over the next week, you should practice this in as many ways as you can. Know that for each stage of Reception Area training you have done, you work out that individual muscle, and so during the Directional Sensing technique, the information will become stronger. You can experiment with this to check the validity of this statement.

As usual, do not forget to record in your journal you results, experiences and thoughts on the matter.

Force Blending 6

Running is such a wonderful skill for a Sith, running in creases stamina, burns fat, deepens breathing, prevents muscle and bone loss helps fight disease and is just generally good for health. The benefits of developing a running habit far outweighs the risk of shin splints, the slight traumas on knees and etc. When training to increase ones abilities in the Force what could be better then strengthening the body at the same time as one strengthen their connection to the Universal Force.

However, running poses a particular problem to the Sith seeking to master blending while doing so. Distractions enter into and out of your vision in moments when you have a good jogging pace, the level of distraction and possible sensory overload is extreme. Your heart rate reaches around 130bpm, you respiration increases, your muscles are metabolizing sugars at an alarming rate. All of these are further distractions on the body.

For any technique to apply, it must become useful and practical in multiple situations. In the case of blending you need to be able to rely on it when your back is to the ropes. When a group of guys decides to attack you, when a flood threatens the safety of your family. At time such as these the body dumps mass amounts of epinephrine, filling your muscles with the potential power to punch or run. A Sith must be able to control his power no mater what the situation. The problem we face is how do we train this? You could have a friend hide and randomly jump out and scare you and when your heart is in your throat you can try to blend. But that just seems ridiculous.

How to we stress our bodies, make them tired, fill our vision with a myriad of details and distractions we have to over, well we combine it with running and we have the solution.

Running with the Force

         before beginning decide on a course to run. Going to a local park with a jogging course is a good idea, as there is a limited amount of objects surrounding the course, and if there happen to be others jogging you will be able to extend your blend to them while running. Once the course is decided take a few moments to stretch out all your muscles.

         stand ready to begin and perform the eyes open Force Blend. Tune into the Force Blend body connection from the previous stages. By this point you should be able to summon your connection to the Force with eyes open without any problems. Take a few moments to breath deeply into your connection of the whole you.

         begin your warm up lap. A warm up lap is habitually done at a quick walk, but here we are going to start walking slow and even keeping our blend. As you pass each object or section of field or person blend with them as you walk. When you feel ready begin to pick up speed gradually until you are into a nice brisk jogging pace.

         when you first switch from walk to jog you will most likely lose your connection, that is ok, just refocus and continue. You may need to stop and starting from the beginning to hold the blend. Once you have been able to reach a stead jogging pace without losing the blend, begin to press it out. Try and note and instantly blend with the objects speeding through your vision. As you approach other runner or objects reach out and attempt to blend with them before you get there.

         if others are around notice that when you blend with them you can feel the you, that is them, making the decision to move left or right. You can feel their heart rates, the strain in their legs and chest. Continue to blend with anything your eyes brush over. As each stress begins to enter your body “im getting tired?” “my legs are hurting” “god I cant breath I need to stop” acknowledge the thought the second it surfaces and will it out to retain only the thought of keeping the blend. As you get better at this you will notice previous feelings of “I cant go on” will disappear, as you will inadvertently draw on the force to increase stamina.

         after a bit begin to slow your pace to a slow jog, then a fast walk, then a normal walk, then a slow walk and finally come to a halt, retaining the blend the entire time. When you are standing in perfect blend stretch out for a moment and feel that full extension blend of everything in the moment through your fatigue and rapid breathing.

         return to your normal body focus and note your results in your journal. Discuss with others if your in a group.

Force Sense Exploration 6

Now that you have refined the 4 Force Senses and evolved to incorporate the 5 physical senses in the 9 gates technique, it is time to tap into the power of the Force while in a dynamic environment.

Just as you can Force Shift and Force Blend while in Motion, so too can you activate the 9 gates. Being active in no way hampers the Force Senses, but like with the previous techniques, the difficulty of holding focus with eyes open and while move doubles the difficulty exponentially. However, like with the other two techniques of motion, The 9 gates can be mastered with just a bit more awareness and focus. Like the previous techniques it will be awkward at first, but with diligent practice and determination you will master this skill.

Though this technique only utilizes the 9 gates technique, know that now that all your Force abilities have been elevated to various movements phases you have all the key to live life as a true extension of the force. As a final door the student needs to walk through, he must find how to perform the Hidden Kingdom Technique. The Hidden Kingdom is the culmination of all you have learned, to Shift, Blend, 9 gates, channel direct all together. Your Masters will be looking forward to reading your attempts to unlock the secret to this technique, but rest assured you have been taught all the keys your need.

The Sense Walk

         Relax and stand comfortably. Close your eyes and review the locations of your Force Senses, now open your eyes and repeat the procedure. Go through this repetition of eyes open awareness 3 times.

         Now move around the room slowly and shift your awareness rapidly through the 9 gates. As your practice note the different types of heightened awareness you get from the act of walking. Continue this for a few moments until you feel comfortable with slowly walking with the 9 gates.

         at this point you are ready to truly begin the technique. Plan a general route you can walk. Depart your starting area on your “sense walk” as you walk use the 9 gates to sense various objects, people, and even yourself

         begin by slowly walking up and stopping at an item and running through the 9 gates. Sense each object with at least 2 senses by try to do as close to all 9 as you can. After sensing each object, pause briefly and try and remember everything you interpreted for later noting in your journal.

         after you have performed this slow and stopping methods, its time to begin to increase speed. As you approach and object try and get one or two impressions before you even reach the object. Then as before stop, continue to sense, note the results and continue on.

         in the final stage of the sense walk do all your sensing in motion, choose an object you see, sense it as you walk towards it, up to it it, at it past it, only stopping when you are a few feet away to note this information for later entry into your journal.

         when you have used up all your allotted time performing this technique, return to your starting location, constantly cycling through the 9 gates as you go, not stopping for even a moment. don’t worry so much about what your receiving with this constant 9 gates cycle, just not the feel of the influx of all that force knowledge and energy.

         when you get home sit down, relax and insure your normal orientation has been restored and then write as much as you can remember about your sense walk.
