Boundaries and departure
Where Exploring emphasized the sense of time, Odyssey asks where the observer seems situated. Sensing attends to Monroe’s energy-body imagery; Expansion explores perceived boundaries; Point of Departure invites a shift of viewpoint. A sense of spaciousness, for example, can be described without deciding that it demonstrates an actual departure from the body.
Monroe’s bridge
Focus 21 is Monroe’s ‘bridge’ between physical and what he called nonphysical awareness. The term names a setting in his framework, rather than a scientifically measured location. Intro to Focus 21 invites comparison with earlier sessions. Nonphysical Friends also uses that framework to explore impressions of others; an impression and verified contact remain different things.
A journey you shape
Free Flow Journey in Focus 21 gives you more responsibility for the intention and direction of exploration. Unlike the introduction, its subject is not continuously supplied. Familiar preparation becomes a reference while you notice what the less-directed session brings into attention.

Point of Departure
Try a shift of apparent viewpoint and compare orientation before, during and after the exercise.
Nonphysical Friends
Explore the exercise’s idea of nonphysical companions, describing any impressions of others without treating them as verified encounters.
