AH i think i'v had this happen spontaniously a few times,When i was doing a energy routine bringing energy up my legs suddenly it went all black except for the moving energy up my leg which i could do perfectly,but the thing is my mind reacts and says "WTF" and i pop out of that state,does practice just make perfect or is there some trick to sustaining this? As for projecting the mental image outward should this be directed or just manifest where it will? like should the visualization be in the middle of my vision and move when i turn left or right or should i give it a fixed placement?I find that the external image is so bad its like a wisp or ghost i can't see it with any solidness more a hint of it being there, but not except when i visualize it in the room,what i mean is reflecting the physical image i'm receiving in the imagening with the augmentation of the visualized object. like this |<| the <=visualization.is that how its supposed to be done because when it is the phhysical image begins to disappear from the concentration being directed torwards the focal point.Hard to discribe this really... as for what i mean by remembering i mean recalling it in my mind like creating a unbroken loop of the visualization like a apple not necessary pulling it out from any select memory but from just what my mind thinks a apple should look like,What i mean to ask is the visualization supposed to be maintained external to the initatial recalling by just sustained will or is sustaining the flow that originaly created the visualization the correct practice And for a final question am i correct to assume that the strength of these facultys is based upon the flow of energy threw the astral-phsyical matrix(nadi's?)because when i practice i find i feel passages opening up and movements of energy,a cleansing and lightening sensation,i also find if i sustain the excercise past a point the excercise becomes exceedingly more diffacult untill unsustainable and i have to return back to earth so to speak,is this why bardon recommended only doing excercises for 10 minutes initialy and incressing it by 1 minute each day to slowly cleanse and develop the passages?I also assume the brushing excercise in the physical part is about highlighting of the nadi's as i used to practice something simular intuitivly before ever hearing about bardon or robert bruce's energy development system I can't thank you anuff for clarifying these things!!!!
