Contact with the Deceased

(author: Michael Raduga).

•

With celebrities:

Through the use of object finding techniques, a practitioner has the opportunity to meet any famous person. This could be a historical persona, a contemporary politician, or an artist. In the phase state, they are all accessible for any type of interaction. For example, a practitioner could meet Julius Caesar, Jesus Christ, Napoleon, Churchill, Stalin, Hitler, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, and a great many others.

Realizing Desires

•

Everyone has dreams. Regardless of whether they ever come true in reality, they may at least enjoy be realized in the phase. Some dream of a visit to Las Vegas, some to drive a Ferrari, some visit Outer Space, others would like to bathe in a pile of money, and some desire sexual experiences. All of these may finally be experienced in the phase.

Alternative to the Virtual World

•

In the phase, young men may participate in game battles as if the battles are real. A practitioner can visit unusual worlds and places while enjoying completely realistic sensations, feel a weapon in his hands, and even the smell of gunpowder. If desired, even the sensation of battle wounds may be experienced. Gaming possibilities in the phase are not limited by the power of a microprocessor, but the extent of a practitioner’s imagination.

Creative Development

•

Creating works of art:

Using the methods of object finding or translocation, an artistic practitioner can purposefully seek an object in the phase that may be composed in real life. If necessary, it is possible to easily return to study an object in the phase. For example, a painter may find a stunning landscape and puts it to canvas in the real world while periodically returning to the same landscape in the phase.

•

Viewing future completed works of art:

If an artist is in the process of realizing an idea, then a preliminarily look at the end result of a design may be seen in the phase. A painter can examine a painting in advance; a sculptor may see a completed sculpture, and an architect will be able to wander through a house that is still in the early stages of design. Any creative work can be simulated in the phase.

•

A source of inspiration and fantasy:

The phase practice imparts ideas and desires that positively affect creative endeavors.

Furthermore, the realization of desires and travels through unusual spaces evoke great emotions, which provide excellent inspiration.

APPLICATIONS BASED ON CONTACT

WITH THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

Assume that the phase state is just an exceptionally unusual state of brain and that perception within it is no more than an unusually realistic play of its functions. Assume that a practitioner in the phase decides to travel to a forest. To do so, the translocation with closed eyes technique is used, and, as a result, a forest appears.

What happens if the vision contains very detailed knowledge of forests, what forests consist of, and where forests originate? The brain creates a hyper-realistic space superior to that of everyday reality, consisting of millions of blades of grass, leaves, hundreds of trees, and a multitude of sounds. Each blade of grass has depth and build, not just a point. Each leaf also consists of component parts. A unique, natural pattern makes up the bark of each tree.

Suddenly, a wind begins to blow through the forest, and millions of leaves and blades of grass, following a mathematical model of the propagation of air masses, begin oscillating in a wavelike fashion.

Thus, a certain resource inside us is capable in mere seconds not only of creating millions of details in the desired scene, but also to control each of those details individually!

Even if the phase is just a state of mind, this does not mean that there are no sources of information within it. The mind possesses great computing ability and is equipped to imagine the full extent of the impossible. No computer, however powerful, is capable of similar feats. A practitioner is able to somehow tap into amazing resources while in the phase. It only remains to learn exactly how to achieve mastery.

It is possible that the phase space is governed by the subconscious mind. This means that the practitioner is able to contact the subconscious while in the phase state. During everyday life, the subconscious mind sends information based on calculations determined by enormous capabilities. However, humans neither hear nor perceive these signals because people are accustomed to receiving information linguistically. The subconscious mind hardly operates within the limitations of language. Communication with the subconscious mind on a conscious level is only possible within the phase. If all phase objects are created and controlled by the subconscious mind, then it is possible to use them as translators. For example, when talking to a person in the phase, normal words are heard while the object and communicated information is controlled by the subconscious mind.

An explanation of how information is obtained in the phase can hardly be unequivocally proven. Perhaps there are other undiscovered resources. But that is not so important. The most important thing is definitely known: how to obtain information in the phase.

The algorithm for obtaining information from the phase is not complex. After entering the phase, only the techniques for obtaining information and the methods of verifying it need to be learned to increase in knowledge gleaned from the phase.

Based on the pragmatic explanation of the nature of the phase as an unusual state of brain controlled by the subconscious, it may be assumed that the amount of information obtained in the phase is limited. If the phase exists within the confines of the brain, then the brain can only operate on data that has been received by the brain over the course of its existence. Indeed, it appears that everything perceived through the sensory organs is remembered and correlated with other data; this observation concern conscious and unconscious perception.

If any event is actually a consequence of other events, which were, in turn, also consequences of previous happenings, then nothing occurs by chance. The initial data is known - then it is possible to calculate what is implied by it.

As a result, if everything is based solely on the resource of the subconscious mind, then information may be obtained about everything that is related to an individual life: the practitioner’s experiences and the experiences of those with whom the practitioner experiences life. Lessons are learned from the future and past, and the future and past of others. All in all, in order to approach knowing the whole of the information available in the phase, personal knowledge capacity would need to increase by 100 or even 1,000 times.

The only information that is not available in the phase is that about which the subconscious mind does not have any preliminary information. For example, where to purchase a winning lottery ticket that will win millions of dollars cannot be learned since there is no data that could support the necessary calculation. The subconscious mind will also not be able to show the practitioner what a random street in a small town on the other end of the Earth looks like. A practitioner should not try guessing what information the subconscious mind has to offer and what it doesn’t because mistakes are easily made. For example, if a practitioner has never been to Paris and never seen the Eiffel Tower, it might be assumed that the practitioner’s subconscious mind knows nothing about it either, although through over the course of life, the mind has already received an enormous quantity of information from pictures, photographs, stories, videos, books, and so forth.
