PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
The following is a response to an email from a new student concerning first day jitters and how to practice the protocols, I think it may be helpful to post it here :)
No problem : ) You just had an introduction to clear and succinct communication, release your expectations and performance anxieties, just follow directions exactly and you will be just fine.
Glenn’s directions are given with the same simple clarity and speed that is required to both discipline the primary consciousness to attend fully to the task at hand and to focus your intention on the the desire to collect clear and accurate data from a specific
target (represented by the target ID), so that you do not give ambiguous cues to your subconscious.
When Glenn said to study the protocol for the >Ideogram. What did he mean?..everything from the >placement of desk materials, and the heading on the paper, to the process we learned today? Also >when is the proper time to put down the pen?
When you study the protocols you are correct, you start with setting up your desk properly, then when you are ready to start in your mind repeat… “on a clean sheet of paper”.. then pick up your pen, working quickly execute all of the protocols you have learned to date.
PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. You practice the protocols until you can do them automatically and quickly without hesitation or thinking “what do I do next”.
The focus and precision you use in writing each letter or line of the protocols will be the same focus and precision you use when you retrieve imagery from
blackboard and record it on your paper. Sloppy undisciplined protocols result in sloppy undisciplined data collection. Accurate and focused protocols result
in accurate and focused data collection once you have established a good communications link.
Unlike life where close counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, some students will be asking themselves for the first time to be precise down to the tiniest
detail, no excuses, no good enoughs, if you want to be a remote viewer there is only one acceptable quality here, you practice till it is perfect. This is the
minds equivalent to “wax on…wax off” :)
Learning these protocols has nothing to do with judgment from the instructor, but you can count on it to bring up internal dialogue regarding all of your
excuses and justifications as to why you were not precise in the past, and why it is ok to not be precise now. It is your job to acknowledge that the past is
gone, and in this moment irrelevant. In this moment your job is to practice these simple movements until you can do them automatically and flawlessly, no excuses.
We put the pen down when the session is done, in your case that would be at the end of the protocols you know. One last thing that was given in one class and
not the other when you finish executing the graphic representation of what you saw on blackboard, write the word STOP at the bottom of your page in the center,
then tear off your paper, turn your stack around so it opens from the top and return it to the ready position, place the cap back on your pen and place it
correctly in the center of your page.
Thank you for your time and patience
Your welcome, please feel free to ask questions that is how we learn :)
