Before the story forms

Exploring begins by reinforcing Focus 12. Discovering Intuition and Exploring Intuition then invite you to notice quick impressions before assembling an explanation. A fleeting feeling and the reason you later give for it are different parts of the experience. Observing that distinction is more useful here than deciding that every impression must contain a message.

Attention without the usual clock

Focus 15 is Monroe’s term for attention without the usual sense of time passing. Intro to Focus 15 gives a guided approach to that concept. It concerns the felt timing of experience, not a claim that physical time stops. You might compare stretches that seem brief, long or difficult to estimate.

Direction and open space

Mission 15 Creation and Manifestation brings a chosen intention into this setting. Exploring Focus 15 leaves the subject more open. Comparing a guided introduction, an intention-led session and open exploration reveals how much the instructions shape what you attend to.
