Now lets learn how to be more successful with
spirituality...
Golden Oldies
When freshmen of spirituality enter the scene of
evolutionary development, they are usually struck by how
much more advanced some of the ancient mystics
seemed to be, in comparison to what exists in the modern
world.
It can be startling to realize that the mystics of old,
from thousands of years ago, had more powerful abilities
and a richer, more-detailed understanding of the Greater
Reality and the human energy body than we have today.
I think that this, at least in part, was due to the
mystics of old having vastly fewer distractions. They lived
a heavily-grounded agricultural existence, had no TV,
radio, computers, Internet, and had enormous amounts
of quality time on their hands time to meditate and
practice and talk and THINK and explore subtle energies
and dimensions.
This also applies to spiritual practitioners up until the
late 1950s, who also lived much simpler lives. They had
radio, but no TV or Computers or Internet.
I worked with some of the old spiritualists in my
early days. They told me that it was normal for people to
gather in groups for several hours of spiritual practice
every night. They sat on stools and wooden benches,
meditating and practicing and generally communing with
spirit together.
Looking back at some of the greatest spiritual
mediums of our timelike, Estelle Roberts and Helen
Duncan, it is easy to think that they must have had
something, some knowledge or ability that we lack today.
But in truth, I think the key ingredient here is that they
had far more free TIME on their hands than people do
today.
It dawns on new practitioners that they stand on the

border of entering a world of occult and obscure
knowledge and practices. And a lot of what they are
learning comes from long ago.
Typically, they have to start excavating like an
archaeologist, digging through large piles of books,
information, and resources, just to find a few nuggets of
golden truth that WORK... to even begin to put all the
pieces of the puzzle together.
Taking The Red Pill

The budding practitioner stands at a fork in the
road... do they continue traveling down the largely
unpaved, uncharted road of raw spirituality, or do they
take the worn out paths of modern science and religion.
At some point in spiritual development, all honest
practitioners must ask themselves: Do I keep going,
because I know in my heart that its right, or do I deny
my intuition and stick to the approved story of life?
Just how far down the rabbit hole do I go?
What happens if I take the red pill?
In case you dont know, the red pill metaphor is a
popular experience that spiritualists, magickians, and
mystics have. In the movie, The Matrix the lead role,
Neo, is plucked from his normal life and given a chance to
decide whether or not he wants to learn the *REAL
TRUTH* about reality and existence.
The bearer of his opportunity, Morpheus, provides
him this choice in the form of two options: Neo can
swallow either a red pill, or a blue pill. The red pill of
course is his voluntary agreement to find out the real
truth, and the blue pill would be his opting out.
Heres the exact quote from Morpheus, taken right

from the script:
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You
take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and
believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you
stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole
goes.
This is strikingly close to the experience most mystics
have when they wake up, once and for all, to the truth
that the wool has been pulled over their eyes their whole
lives.
And by taking the red pill, they are removing the
wool, and REALLY using their eyes for the first time.
Think about this.
The average human being has never used her Third
Eye for clairvoyant vision. Shes never used her Third Ear
for clairaudient hearing. Shes never gone out of body, or
explored the Afterlife. Shes never tapped into her
tremendous power to heal or influence energy.
Shes never seen or felt her own energy body!
Shes never communicated with her own Higher Self!
Its sad. And we need to change that.
We need to start a revolution of the mind inside our
species, and help everyone to wake up to the truth... that
they are immortal consciousness, operating a
physical body temporarily, with the mental power
to change reality.
You cannot meditate on this beautiful fact enough.
It is, after all, a fact and not speculation.
Its been proven over and over and over again by

psychics and mystics since time immemorial. And you
must REFUSE to let the programming of contemporary
science and religion hold you back.
Liberate yourself and LIVE in truth!
The Greater Reality awaits!
Like a saint, embodying truth and moral virtue in
EVERYTHING you do. This alone will have REMARKABLE
effects on the health and well-being of your mind and
energy body and your Higher Self connection.
Lets move on now to look at some of the most useful
lessons we can learn by studying our predecessors, the
ancient mystics from whom we inherited much of our
wisdom, and the hunger for truth.
Soulful Solitude
With any penetrating glimpse into the practices of
mystics, a common theme appears, and that is the
leading mystics and psychics always went off on their own
for significant periods of time, to find themselves.
Now we hear the catchphrase find myself
occasionally.
What it means is to *GO INSIDE* the mind, to
meditate, and to learn their truth. The truth about self
and the truth about the world, and how all this fits in with
the Greater Spiritual Reality.
Much to the disillusion of westerners, packing up and
selling all their possessions and heading off to Tibet or
India can be a useless exercise. Those people are taking
the phrase finding yourself too literally, as if they have
to go to other locations to accomplish this. And for some
reason, they always think they need to go East, and not

North or South or West.
But in the Greater Reality, to find themselves they
need to STOP TALKING, SIT DOWN, and MEDITATE!
You are what you are *INSIDE YOURSELF* and NOT
OUTSIDE somewhere else.
The *YOU* they are searching for is INTERNAL, not
external. So if youre following my logic, you now
understand why going to any external place to try to find
yourself is unworkable.
I know people who are paying off CAVES in India,
where they plan to live and find enlightenment when
they have the free time to do this or when they retire.
This is more escapism than anything spiritually real.
People want to escape the pressures and strains of
mundane life by escaping to a lifestyle they have come to
believe is spiritually idyllic.
I also know people who have actually done the cave
thing. Trust me here a year or so living with dirt and
bugs, with poor quality food and no running water and
electricity sends most people running for home.
YOU ARE INSIDE yourself and nowhere else.
And guess what?
When you finally realize that you need to start going
within to find yourself, it dawns on you that youll need to
find solitude to do this.
Youve spent your whole life outside yourself doing
things... sports, music, school, ballgames, television,
movies, dates, dinners, travel, and so on.
Its time now to go inside yourself, and begin doing

activities internally, inside your mind.
These activities involve PSYCHIC ABILITIES.
What does clairvoyance, astral projection, healing,
and energy work all have in common?
They all require you to be INTERNAL, to internalize
your attention, to perform them.
The bright light bulb of realization turns on above
your head RIGHT NOW - as you go Aha! I need to go
INSIDE more often and for longer.
People are generally unhappy because they never go
inside themselves. Theyre too distracted by external life
on the outside.
The secret to happiness is making progress
inside yourself, through meditation and spiritual
development.
And to meditate - to go inside - youll need to be
somewhere you can be undisturbed and undistracted by
the outside world.
If there is one MAJOR LESSON I want you to take
away from this, its that the ancient mystics figured this
out and tried to tell us.
They would say things like The truth is inside you
or Find yourself within or Be still and know that I AM
within.
They are being literal.
Theyre saying, Turn off the television. Sit down. Be
quiet. Close your eyes. And do the meditation that you
know. Being still and going within during meditation will
help connect you to your Higher Self. This will help you to
get answers to your questions psychically.
Hence, they say, All the answers are inside you.
Hanging out on forums and chatting with friends
about spirituality is all good, but there comes a time when
you must go and do the practice.
This is how you get results, find yourself, and open
the blossom of your psychic abilities.
Set aside a private space in your home, and tell your
housemates to respect your privacy and give you time
alone there.
One of the so-called virtues of our society is
socialization. For some reason, if a person does not like
socializing they are considered wrong or crazy. But the
truth is, while socialization has benefits, we also need
alone time for internal development.
You need to withdraw from too much social time, and
create some personal time where you can be alone with
your thoughts and spiritual practices.
Lets move on to explore the power of respiration and
how it will improve your meditation.
Respiration for Inspiration

Another clue the ancients left for us, is to harness
the power of breathing.
We are continually breathing and life depends on
this. But very few understand the spiritual power of
conscious breathing.
Conscious control of your breathing gives you
conscious control over your life force. Doing this will
gently guide you into profound altered states of

consciousness.
Respiration leads to inspiration.
By respiring according to a very simple and ancient
method, you will shift into an altered state and feel great
in the process.
This method takes a little practice to masternot
because it is difficult but simply because it is different.
Your body will want to go back to its natural way of
breathing. But it will soon adapt to new patterns of
breathing if you persevere.
The body awareness focus on a particular breathing
pattern, as opposed to unconscious natural breathing, is
an essential ingredient to this method. This focus
occupies the mind and makes it easier to quieten
unwanted thoughts, and to induce an altered state of
consciousness. A clear and relaxed mind is the goal.
EXERCISE: Respiration For Inspiration
Breathe from your ABDOMEN throughout your
meditation, and not from your chest. Your awareness
should be focused on the movement in your abdomen.
Breathe in through your mouth and out through your
nose. (Yes, this contradicts modern breathing techniques
of in through the nose, out through the mouth)
In the beginning, you will have to regulate your
breathing by counting in your mind. With practice, the
counting will become unnecessary and you will be able to
regulate your breathing pattern automatically.
Physical Relaxation:
If you are tense, start by focusing your body
awareness sense on different areas of your body and
feeling them relax. Focus on your feet and legs and feel
them relax, then your hips, then your torso, then your
arms and shoulders, then your neck and head.
Breathing Technique:
- Sit with proper posture, shoulders back, head
tilted slightly forwards, hands in your lap.
- Inhale through your MOUTH slowly for a 4-count,
hold it for a 2-count, exhale through your NOSE
for a 4-count.
- Feel yourself automatically shifting into a deep
inspiring altered state as you respire with this
pattern.
The takeaway here is to inhale through the mouth,
and exhale through the nose. And try to make the period
of holding the breath in your lungs between inhalation
and exhalation half the length of the inhalation and
exhalation.
This technique is PROVEN to put you into a nice
trance state for entering meditation. It will melt away
physical tension and loosen you up.
Its that simple, folks. No need for any complicated
breathing techniques.
It is important that the breathing pattern you use
does NOT cause stress.
Again, the breathing pattern must not cause stress
or shortness of breath, or anxiety, as this will cause
tension and defeat the purpose of this as a meditation
technique.
It is important that you focus on your breath, on the
feeling of air filling your abdomen, holding, and leaving
your abdomen.
This technique will put you into a nice altered state

meditation fairly quickly. It will melt away physical and
mental tension and loosen you up considerably.
Alternative Method:
There is another very simple alternative called Belly
Breathing that everyone can perform easily.
With this method, you breathe in through the nose
and out through the mouth. Do what works for you, while
following the pattern given here.
Just observe your natural breathing, feeling your
abdomen rise and fall as you breathe in and out, and
continue with this only. Keep your awareness focused on
your abdomen at all times. Again, everything else still
applies.
Try this method as an alternative. Its simplicity and
effectiveness might surprise you, and you will still achieve
an altered state.
Spiritual Practice
During meditation, your mind will want to wander
and play, and at times you will lose track of what you are
doing and find yourself thinking about a problem or
fantasizing. This is called monkey mind.
Do not force your mind to obey you. Meditation is a
gentle and relaxed process.
When you catch your mind wandering off, allow
yourself to follow the distracting train of thought until it
completes, and then rewind your memory back to where
the loss of focus started and continue your meditation
from there.
Meditation can have a focus beyond breathing. You

can focus on a candle flame through slitted eyes, a
thought, a concept, a sound, an image, a scene. But it is
best to master the breathing method first.
Meditation can be done anywhere and anytime
while commuting, waiting, even while walking. But best
results are obtained when you use your own private space
at home.
To increase the effects of any breathing meditation
technique, imagine and feel that you are in a big mining
elevator with open sides to the rock, and that you are
going down, down, down. . .
When you use the same private space frequently
for meditation, the power of that space increases
progressively. This helps to produce more profound
altered states of consciousness.
If you are new to meditation, slow and easy is the
best way to begin. Do not overdo things in the beginning.
Start with 5 minute sessions, once or twice per day, and
increase this time as you become used to this new state
of being.
We are more likely to do things that we are
successful at doing, and this applies to meditation. So
please start with short meditations and do not try to run
before you can walk.
Early morning is the most productive time to
meditate, because your mind is still fresh and your body
is still relaxed from recent sleep. But meditation can be
done anytime you need to recharge and distress so take
advantage of opportunities that present themselves
during your day to day life for short refreshing
meditations.
notes!
Meditation is an important journey within, so take
Keeping a journal of your meditations is very

helpful. Write down your thoughts and experiences
immediately after each meditation. To this end, keep your
meditation journal nearby during meditation sessions.
Altered state memory is a fickle thing and
meditation experiences will tend to vaporize quickly after
a meditation. Recording meditation experiences will help
you progress.
Always write down key words first when you make
a journal entry, in case these memories evaporate before
you have time to write them down. Then write the full
account of your session, and your thoughts about what
happened and how you think you are progressing.
Keeping a meditation journal will also help to improve
all other types of subtle memory, including dream and
out-of-body experience recall.
A sitting position with a straight back and no head
support is superior to using a bed. A simple dining or
office chair will suffice, unless you prefer to sit cross
legged.
Too much comfort during a meditation promotes
sleep and poor recall of the experience.
Use dark glasses if you take advantage of free time
while waiting or commuting during your day for
meditation. The dark glasses provide a sense of privacy.
You can also hold a book or magazine on your lap, so it
looks as if you are reading.
When I started doing this many years ago, I cut the
eyes out of a magazine picture, poked small holes in the
irises, and fitted these inside my dark glasses so it looked
like my eyes were open. But it is advisable, if you do this,
to pick eye pictures that are looking down, or people will
think you are staring unblinkingly at them.
Lets move into the third and final ancient secret for
modern mystics...
Tears Of Joy
As I explained, most people are unhappy due to their
addiction to the external world, rather than the internal
world. And there is another factor at play.
Too many people are unappreciative of both their
external and internal worlds.
So they not only dont USE their internal world,
theyre CERTAINLY not THANKFUL for it.
The ancient mystics teach a message of
happiness and gratitude through spirituality. And
youll find the most upbeat, optimistic and productive
people are ALWAYS people who have a deep purpose, like
we find in spirituality.
Our mystical ancestors IMPLORED us to take time to
be thankful for our minds and bodies. Because when we
do, we will associate good feelings to our practices, which
in turn makes us want to spend more time on them.
People will ALWAYS prefer to do something that
makes them feel good over something that makes them
feel bad.
This is the key to dedication to spirituality. When you
take time to attach APPRECIATION to your work, youll
FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT, and thus be naturally drawn to
DO MORE.
The fastest way I know for you to naturally associate
positive feelings for meditation and psychic work, rather
than annoying feelings, is to GET RESULTS.
As soon you see your first full aura, or see your first
clairvoyant vision, or have your first conscious out of body
experience, youll go YES! These techniques are working,
I LOVE THIS STUFF! And youll REDOUBLE your energy
toward getting more success with it.
By getting results, by practicing the techniques, youll
SEE this stuff works, and youll gain an appreciation and
respect for the tools we are giving you as well as the path
you are traveling towards a more enlightened you.
Parting Thoughts
There is a very real, very tangible logic to how all of
this works. And the more successful you are the more
successful youll become... because it has a snowball
effect.
For example, lets look at the sequence of events that
will lead you to AMAZING success.
- You take time to be by yourself with your uplifting
thoughts... SOULFUL SOLITUDE
- You do the simple, easy-to-use breathing
technique... RESPIRATION FOR INSPIRATION
- Get results from the techniques we teach you in
the Evolution eBook... SPIRITUAL PRACTICE
- Develop profound respect and appreciation for
your spiritual practice... TEARS OF JOY
Spirituality is intuitive, creative and abstract, its
true, but it also has its own perfect logic and rationale.
And to unlock these ancient secrets for modern
mystics, you need to understand this divine logic.
Thank you for reading this brief treatise on the

precious lessons we can learn from ancient mysticism,
and I hope you stay committed to the evolution of your
spirituality.
