The Beachhead procedure
Have everyone involved take a deep, rewarding stretch; slowly let
down from that stretch into the "afterglow" of that stretch, settle into
a deeply relaxing, comfortable position, let go 1-2 great slow
satisfying sighs, and close eyes....
1. "We enter this experience together for the purpose of finding new products or services of possible value,
which can be provided entirely from the resources we
now have readily to hand. We don't have to figure out
what we are going to invent, or plan ahead what it is we
are going to see. We'll just sit back and let the subtler
portions of our minds and brains show us. Let them
show us whatever it is that they will show us. Let them
surprise us with what they show us. All we do for now,
once the experience is underway, is sit back, observe,
and describe to our partner what it is that we are
observing. Later, after we've described all that we've
seen, we can try to make sense of what we've seen.But for now we don't try to make sense of it, just see it and describe it and later maybe we'll figure out what it is that we've seen and described."
2. "The more that what you see in this experience is a surprise to you, the better the chances you are
genuinely getting inputs from further reaches of mind
and brain.Reaches well beyond those where you do
your conscious thinking. Those further reaches contain
all the experiences and information which we've ever
encountered, whether conscious or unconscious, from
the very beginnings of our life. Since at any given
moment only one in 100 of our incoming experiences is
received consciously but we still have in memory all
100 awarenesses from each moment, each of us has
an available data-base greater than that even of the
greatest universities."
3. "And just as more and more formal information in the great universities and libraries is going on-line,
available through computers, so also our own internal
data-base is on-line, available through these inner
visions. We describe in words, with our conscious
minds and to our partner. Describing our inner imagery
brings more of this internal data-base, and our subtler
mental faculties, closer on-line with the part of the brain
where we are mainly conscious from."
"In this learning phase of this experience, we still need
some patience with these beginning steps of
instruction, which used to be a lot longer. After we've
been there, the return to any advanced world for
inventing is a lot quicker than what we're doing this first
time. It helps patience to breathe deeply, slowly,
smoothly, and in a way that feels good. While we're
starting this trip, let's also work on making each next
breath of ours feel better than did the breath before it,
and see how far we can get with that good feeling."
"The more detail you can describe from your inner
experience, the more you will see and the closer on-line
will be that subtler part.That subtler part of you which
has lived in this physical universe for quite some time,
and which knows very well how the universe works and
how things work."
4. "And the more rapidly you can describe also the things I will ask you to describe, the more these further
reaches will be pulled on-line with where you are
conscious from. For that reason, instead of politely
taking turns with your partner, in effect both of you
should be talking at once, this way: as one of you
pauses for breath in your description, the other of you
rushes in with description from his or her experience. As your partner
has to pause for breath, you rush back in with further
description of your experience. Do make sure that
both of you do get a reasonable share of the available
air time. The air time usually runs two minutes or so
after each step I'll give you in the experience once the
describing gets rolling. Get as much of your own
description as possible packed into every available
moment in that two or more minutes because the more
that you describe aloud to your partner, the more and
better you will see in the experience."
"However, yours is a partnership, not a competition,
so do please allow your partner enough time to speak. If
you are deeply into your own experience, you don't
need to give full attention to your partner's descriptions,
since you won't be tested on them. It is enough just to
be there as an external focus to describe to, just as your partner
is there as your external focus to describe to."
