Is the concept of The Kingdom visual?

Yes, absolutely. Once you build the kingdom and become comfortable with it, then you can mess with it. You can manipulate your brain to try more interesting things. One of the things you can have in your kingdom is a room with a giant map on the wall. On this map is your kingdom, but nothing in your kingdom is what it is supposed to be. It will be affected by your intent.

You go into the room and walk up to the map. The map is going to give you directions to a certain place that you need to be. It has something that is very important to show you. It is a quest that you say you will take on. So the map shows you where you need to go because there’s something very important for you there. Then you close the map and you put it away.

In real life, you then open up to the possibility of allowing yourself to be shown where you need to go. All of a sudden, somebody might say,

“Hey, we need to take a trip to this place,” and you say to yourself, “I would have said no easily before, but this time I’m game to go.” It will present itself rapidly in your life. Or something is going to get your attention. It’s how you get past the matrix. This is how you can teach your consciousness to pay attention to what it would otherwise ignore.

It is a form of hypnosis, allowing you to be more conscious. If you want to make more money, you could also direct your attention to that. If you like the map concept, create a map to show you where you physically need to be to make more money or to enhance the possibilities of financial gain.

If you visualize piles of gold, your brain might not understand gold but it understands the ‘feels-like’ of gold. Now that your brain has a sense of it, it knows to send you in a direction to find it, or to create that function in your life. It could present itself as many things, whether it’s the right job, the right place, or the right opportunity. It’s a way of fooling your own little filters.

You were mentioning the knights in shining armor. What function would they have and how does it relate to High Guard?

Your knights represent your nobility. They represent everything you imagine in your fantasy world. They also represent your strength. When you think of yourself as having shiny and beautiful armor, it represents the goodness of your intentions. If you’re forceful, mean or cruel, your armor turns to dark, dented, and rusty armor. It’s progressive, but if it’s good-looking armor, there’s a good intention. It’s noble and just. You can have armor that’s silver, white, or something really amazing. Of course, you want to do good things. Any white cell wants to do what is good, righteous, truthful and powerful. We really gravitate towards that because it’s our make-up.

Your knights have to be strong. They should have good swords and shields, made of quality material. The better you imagine them, the stronger they are. Do not limit the knights by just giving them steel blades.

If you really want to give them power, give them Jedi swords.

However, if you start to get too extravagant, your brain starts to psychoanalyze what you’re creating. Sometimes it is better to keep it simple, rather than making it too complex. As soon as you give the knights light sabers, they’re no longer knights. They’re Jedi knights. That means that our castle is now going to be a giant spaceship or something like a planet.

Now you have giant spaceships coming down, shooting at your kingdom. Simply put, you must choose a scenario that will work with the brain. It has limitations and boundaries as to what is acceptable and what is not. Your wicked brain can turn on you at times.

God is always considered to be in the kingdom. You have to remember that you are God in that kingdom, which means you are all-powerful there.

You have all the power you need in this life. It’s just a matter of whether you feel powerless. If you do, then you’re powerless in that world. If somebody that’s powerful in this world is consciously affecting you, then you have to defend and conquer them in your kingdom. In your life, you will then find that you conquered them also. So that will give you strength.

In other situations in life, you can see the negative influences in your life, whether it is finances, relationships, or something else. You will see some cloaked character coming into your kingdom. Who will be under that mask? It’s going to be the ex-husband, or the ex-wife, or some boss that you are having trouble with in your real life. Now you have to battle with them and wage war. Don’t win your war in one day because that’s not realistic. Spend a week going through all the scenarios. Also, have some losses. If you lose in your life, see that battle loss on the field in your kingdom. You can summon up friends and allies. Then you have to create that battle. Then take it over and win. Essentially, it’s very similar to rewriting your past, as in The Power of Surrender.

So when you rewrite it in this way, you’re writing it in the present. That should be a revelation. You can have a tool to effect the present by doing something very similar. If you project into this, you’ll find that you’ve gained a lot of strengths. In essence, that’s a tool that you can utilize. You bring it into the now. If somebody is dominating you in your life, then dominate back in that other reality. You’re going to find that somehow you are doing that in this reality. You’re finding the inner strength to do that here. Again, it’s a way to fool your consciousness and remove the limitations that you may not have been aware of before.

When I’m visualizing, meditating, or doing High Guard, sometimes I just can’t visualize myself or see what I look like at all.

So then don’t.

So it doesn’t matter who’s in there?

No, it doesn’t matter. Be whoever you want to be because you don’t really look like what you think anyway. When you do that, you will find that you can visualize yourself anywhere. It’ll have an opposite effect. If you want to see yourself and visualize better, one of the things you can do is look at a mirror before you do a session. Stare at the mirror and study your face. Don’t think of yourself as you. Think of the image in the mirror as a different person because you will find that you can invoke other people’s faces in your mind easier than you do your own. If you think of yourself as a second person in the mirror, you will think the same way in your visualizations. That is an easy way to bring it through.

How many of these sessions can you do in a day? Is it something you do after you’ve meditated?

Well, you can do it after your meditation. I recommend substituting it for one of your meditations because there is only so much time that you can spend when you are in that state of mind. When you do meditations, sometimes you are so much in the zone that it’s harder to do your visual techniques.

So, just find some quiet time. Sit down and do it by yourself. Start building your kingdom slowly in your mind. In fact, don’t build it.

Remember it. It’s already designed in your head. What kind of stone is in your castle walls? What does it look like? Everybody knows already. Do you have gray stones? Do you have tan or brown stones? Or do you have large white marble stones?

Everyone has their own style. You’re just going to have to work with it.

It reminds me of that psychological test where they say, “You’re walking through the woods and you stumble across a cup. What kind of cup is it?”

Some people will say it is tin. Some will say it’s ceramic, and others will say it’s made of wood. Your answer represents how you perceive life. The test goes on with something like this, “You cross a body of water. What kind of water is it? Is it an ocean? Is it a lake? Is it a pond? What do you do with it? Do you do anything?” And I’m the one that is always swimming across it.

Having said that, how you choose to interpret whatever it is you are doing is an indication of what is in your deeper psyche. In a sense, the water represents your sensuality of what you do with water. I remember once a person told me, “I’m not doing anything. I’m walking on it. It’s frozen.” That’s a good one.

One of my students brought to my attention that a lot of people have trouble with their imagination or visualization. What is your interpretation of visualization? Some people think it is supposed to be vivid, like a color TV or something. It’s not. It can be for some people though. It can get extremely vivid for them as they work with it. But for the majority of people, it is very transparent. It’s very faded.

I’ll give you an example. Close your eyes right now and tell me what your bathroom looks like. Can you visualize in your mind the shower curtain, the floors, the tiles, and whatever is on the floor? What does the toilet look like? What does the sink look like? Now, if you do that and use your recollecting mind, you can also do something that’s visual. Okay, visualize your bathroom sink, your floor, and your toilet. I want you to look and tell me what’s on top of your toilet tank, if there is a toilet tank.

Are there some objects there? Now all of a sudden, I want you to see a kitten sitting on top of the toilet seat. Can you see it? You have a visual mind. We just took something that was a memory and overlaid it with imagination. Do you have a window in the bathroom? Can you visualize in your mind how big the window is in your bathroom?

Yes.

Can you look out your window and see what’s out there?

Yes.

If you walk to the door, imagine that the door is shut. Now suddenly you open it and you’ve transported yourself into the middle of a village.

You open it up and you look outside and there are cobblestone streets and farm animals. You can visualize that. That is even more complex. Start to do little exercises where you are using your ordinary, everyday mind. Then introduce an overlay of imagination into it. If you do that enough, then you can go to a perfectly imagined scenario.

Once you can visualize your bathroom and are able to open up the door and step outside into the village, then you can start walking around the village. It is now no longer a memory; it’s now all imagination. If you marry the two concepts together, you’re going to find that the brain likes to combine things. If you have trouble visualizing something, just abruptly utilize something that is easy to do and combine it with whatever you’re visualizing. If you do that enough, you will have more complex visualization skills.

Here is another thing you can do to enrich this; it is a good one. Most people can recall seeing blown glass pieces that are very dark on the inside with things like flowers inside it. Visualize that in your mind right now.

You can do that. Close your eyes and visualize it. While you’re visualizing it, see the transparency of the glass and the thickness of it. Notice how there is only glass between that and the structure you are observing. Just by doing that, your brain has to work harder. The harder you work something, the better it gets. Now we are going to take it up a notch. You can see the rainbow etching from the reflection of the glass when it hits the light. Do you realize how complex that is for you to imagine or just be aware of? Those kinds of things are very good to help you to use your imagination.

I read that with telekinesis, you should visualize things. Then try and feel like it’s already happened. Use the visualization as your container and then try to build it up with a positive desire.

That’s true but that is only part of the process. You might have to build up kinetic energy in your body so much that you can get it to jump right out.

So you build up a chi ball?

Yes, it’s kind of like that.

If I were to place Prana in the proper context in order to nurture the castle, would I visualize it as waves or more like a river?

Visualize it as fog because it is like Prana coming in. You are asking it to come in. I would see fog. I love fog. Doesn’t everybody love fog? Fog is ideal because it is made of little bead drops and the bead drops represent Prana. It washes into your castle and will teach your body to accept this kind of livelihood. Everybody loves fog.

Can you put a pyramid around a castle like you do in High Guard? I was thinking about incorporating High Guard with my castle.

Well, if you put a pyramid around a castle you are going to get into the whole thing about Jedi’s and jets and everything else. You can have a mile wide moat filled with alligators around your castle. You don’t see that every day, do you? Do you know why you desire to create more complicated things?

It is security. It is your fear that something is going to get by you. It is your fear that something is going to infiltrate you. And it is your fear that you did not do a good enough job. You have to try to overcome that. Your empire or kingdom should be historically accurate. Its contents should be made of things that were active in the time period of history that those things actually existed. There is an easier way to override inadequacy or your fear that something is going to get through. Your inadequacy stems from your fear of the unknown. You are afraid of the things that might be

out there that you have not prepared yourself for. So, create a wizard — a bad ass wizard! The wizard goes stomp, stomp and you get whatever you want.

Best of all, the wizard goes stomp, stomp to create a few things that you are not aware of so you can do things, too. By having those things that you are not aware of, now you get past the possibility that something can get through. Your subconscious mind says, “You don’t have to worry about that anymore.”

So that provides another element of security.

Exactly. That’s the point.

Is it acceptable to have a pyramid or would you want a plasma shield like in Star Wars: Episode One?

A pyramid, as long as it is the kind of pyramid that consists of energy.

Plasma shields are great, but you would need batteries coming from a direct source, which would need to be semi-infinite if not permanent.

As I’m working through all the techniques, I’m trying to work with the fluidity between them and maintain non-thought as I move seamlessly through different techniques. The one that I find challenging is the In-Between. I’ve been fortunate enough to experience that state, but I can’t move into it with fluidity and I don’t know why.

It is a tough one to incorporate. I almost have to get myself into that state of mind to figure out how I do it. There are a lot of things I just do automatically. I’m so used to having non-thought, so I have to analyze myself and ask, “How do I do that?” Give me an example of what you’ve tried so far. Where do you run into a situation where you try and fail? You have to be careful. It’s like mixing bleach with ammonia.

Well, if I’m at home and there are no distractions, I can use the techniques that were presented in the module. I try to practice when I’m not in that ideal situation. I’ll pay attention to the sound or to a texture and try to move into it in that way. I know there are distractions that are out there because there could be a meeting or something else that is going on. If I have enough focus and attention and I have that sense of what that space is like, then I can capture that space wherever I am.

Well, it is doable, but you have to build up your design still with one or two factors. In other words, you haven’t developed your cup to hold it well enough.

I think that you’re rushing it too quickly because it is certainly possible to accomplish. I can do it. Just keep practicing it. When a baby learns to walk, she doesn’t just get up and run around. But eventually, the baby will learn to walk with enough practice. It’s going to happen relatively soon if you keep at it.

Also, it sounds like there is a lot of direct intent that you are unknowingly bringing in because there is such a strong desire to make this happen. Maybe there’s a way you can set something up in the house that will trigger this state of mind without having to apply too much intent or consciousness into the factor. I would get an object, hold it and view it saying, “See this object? This is my intention.” I’m not saying that the object is involved with the intention. It has nothing to do with the intention. It’s just that when you walk through the house or you’re in motion or in that state, you can look at the object and use it as a mental trigger to subconsciously start your third phase. That might be the best way to avoid the expectation. I think that’s possibly how I allowed it to happen.

I remember a scenario with a student, when we lived in Cedar Mills.

We both entered that state of mind. I showed him a spot on the wall with the light shining on it from the moonlight. I told him to touch it and it would be very hot. That is the third phase, and it depends on your goal.

There was no heat involved; he created it.
