images as something artificially constructed by the mind, and the
fluid level of lights and colours as the reality behind it. You begin
to be more and more interested in seeing the world the way it is,
and not the way your mind makes it up.
One of the reasons I insist on this point is that it is not a
philosophical theory but something you can observe easily in
yourself, through the practice. As you keep on working with
exercise 5.9, the graspings of the mind will become more and more
obvious to you.
Here we arrive at one of the essential characteristics of the
Clairvision approach. Our purpose is not to add a few tricks to our
ordinary mental layer in order to reach clairvoyance. Our purpose
is to use perception to reach a pure condition of consciousness,
beyond false appearances and out of the graspings of the manas-
mind. The whole process aims at letting go of mental constructions
and returning, as in the 24th hexagram of the I Ching, to the
uncorrupted stage.
5.12 Atlantean climax
Close your eyes and start with a reconnection (section 5.3): throat
friction, awareness of the vibration in the eye. Then remain aware
of the purple or dark space for about 2 minutes.
Open your eyes and implement the double process of vision
described in section 5.4:
- awareness between the eyebrows, with total stillness
- simultaneously, instead of looking at any of the details of the
image in front of you, become aware of the fact of seeing, or
‘seeingness’ (or, more simply, feel the image instead of looking at
it).
For this particular practice, it is essential that you blink as little
as possible, or preferably not at all. You have to build up a strong
pressure between the eyebrows, and reach a climax of stillness. The
two go together well: the more you are focussed in the eye, the
more you can become motionless. And the more you let your
energy densify (or ‘crystallise’) through your positive immobility,
the more you can build up the vibration in the eye.
Become more and more motionless. Build up the pressure between
the eyebrows until your body feels as solid as a statue – a statue
of vibration. The state slowly develops into a connected
motionlessness that gives the feeling of a great accumulation of
power, as if your eye was receiving the force of a column of
