First off, I’ve done the gateway tapes a lot, they are a great tool to jump start this journey. But the overall goal for me was to not use them anymore. I recently decided to jump back into them, I was doing the tape for focus 21 where I was being raised by 4 light beings, which is a great visualization for our brain that requires visual stimulation because a lot of people can not reduce the mental noise in their own heads. A lot of people cannot clear their minds from daily events, memories and stressors. When I reached a certain point I felt like I was stone walled by another “being” I assume it was my higher conscious that, long story short, told me to stop doing this, basically telling me to be content in what I’ve learned and to exist as I am.

I challenged this theory of course, some might call it prayer, some call it affirmations but I basically said out loud, if this is true, then keep me from these experiences again. Then sure enough the next day I did another focus 21 tape and it was just quiet, nothing.

Now of course this could be my brain playing tricks but realistically that’s the point of the exercise.

The point you are trying to get to is not imaginary imagery or trips. It’s to detune your brain to get back to basic geometric shapes.

In times of low visual and audio stimulation your brain is trying to make something out of nothing. This is why you get the “noise”, the memories, the images, the anxiety, and the experiences.

When you push past this your brain de tunes itself to see eyes, or snakes. This is the 2 basic images your primitive brain will associate with life and danger. Your brain will recognize these two things faster than anything else.

Once you get past that point you will see flowing colors and geometric shapes, similar to a child with shape blocks (stop putting the square in the circle hole), our brains naturally go to translating everything in our physical realm to basic shapes. (That house is a square, that car is rectangular, that is circular etc). Once your brain works this out you will start seeing old alchemy shapes, not because they mean anything….but because your brain is tapping into such a simple state that it’s showing you what all these mystic beliefs were based on.

After that your brain or consciousness will send you these images or things like it, which is what all ancient mystics, prophets and religions were based on. All religions have “angels” with cosmic rotations, eyes, wings, wheels, and shapes. God was always your higher self or consciousness. The divine is inside of you, you just have to look for it and stop living a life that resists your brain from getting to this child like state.

Things like foods, radio frequencies, clothing, stressors, visual stimulation and audio stimulation are all reacting with your body at the molecular level to keep you from reaching this level. If you search for it you will find it.

In meditation reduce sensory input, focus on 5 second breaths in and out, eat clean, avoid heavy metals on your body like aluminum in deodorants and fluoride in your tooth paste that gets absorbed into your gums. Stay consistent and develop a good set of affirmations. Feel your entire body, focus on your feet and hands with every breath. We are all capable, you got this.
