although the formally trained RVers in the room will protest, i will offer alternate protocol which involves a bit of programming of the
biocomputer:
the mind responds to both internal and external stimuli nearly identically. so the first thing to do is limit your external stimuli.
second, segregate the functions of your mind. the mind has two functions, often referred to as "left brain" and "right brain". a better
description is differential (linear) and associative (recursive). RV, then, can be said to occur primarily in the internal, associative segment of
the mind.
it is possible to achieve such a state of mind through diet, exercise, meditation, and other "electro-chemical stimulation". in an associative
state, your mind does not hesitate to retrieve the information in question. and because your logic centers are quieted, you will be less likely to
dismiss the information received as foolish.
once one has reached the state of free-association, a parallel mental process must be
consciously initiated. the purpose of this additional
process is as an !interface only! between the associative state and the outside world. it is a purely functional process.
this process must not interrupt the free-association. the two must reside within your mind seperately, at once! (it
IS possible, even
desirable, to maintain this state of mind during normal daily living.)
then and only then are you ready to receive the target, or to seek out whatever other information you are requesting from "the void".
it is most definitely a willful practice, as your mind will not be inclined during this state toward logic or reason.
this is the path of the seer and shaman.
best to you, OP.
