Optic Weights

1 You are in a large open space somewhere in a library. In the middle of this open space are several very dense heavy objects which you are practicing moving with your mind. Describe the setting and your experience of moving the objects with your mind. Create a detailed movement frame by frame as they move. Try to get a concept of the amount of mental energy it might take to actually move these objects.

Perhaps there are others here with you making it a team effort.

2 Imagine striking these objects with enough force to dent or crush them. Strengthen your sense of imagined physical durability so the act of simply visualizing striking the objects doesn’t evoke a hesitation or fear of breaking your hand. Get to the point where you can basically shadow box imagined dense objects, such as boulders or blocks of iron without any sense of resistance. You can visualize a change in coloration on the surface of the object as it heats up hotter and hotter where your blows fall, going from an ashy gray to an orange glow.  

3 Now switch to what is basically the reverse of that. Imagine having your body struck with a hard iron bar. Even in your imagination experience a sickening recoil. Reconstruct your conceptualization of this experience so you can feel indestructible, completely unaffected by these attacks. You experience no hesitation or queasiness about imagining getting hit with that much force. To reinforce this idea, you can recast your body image so you see yourself as being made of metal or stone. Play with this idea and manipulate it as you see fit.

4 Begin to wind down this exercise. Start to breathe deeply and become relaxed. Lay down on a mat in the middle of the dense objects and allow yourself to drift into a state of deep meditation and relaxation.

5 As you relax, the dense objects begin to slowly rise off the ground and into the air.  As the objects rise, your body begins to sink into the floor, as if sinking into a liquid. Remain calm and collected as the liquid rises over your chest, and then over your throat, mouth, and nose, until you are completely submerged. Give no consideration to what the outcome of this might be.  

6 When you sink below the floor, you simultaneously leave behind on the surface a shadow form of your body which gets up and examines the now floating objects. Describe this shadow form. What is its capacity for movement? Are you comfortable in this form?

7 As you probe the floating objects, discover small holes in them that allow you to peer inside. See that the interior is actually completely hollow. They appear to be made of some kind of lightweight foil material. Their appearance of density was just an illusion. Not only that, there are birds inside them. The birds have access to a various control panels which they use to move the objects, as well as alter their appearance. Upon realizing that they have been discovered, they are clearly amused. They put on a show for you and change the form of the objects. What do they change into?

8 The birds make a request. They want you to do something with a jar of coins which is what one of the objects has now transformed into. Describe the jar and the coins. What do they look like? How valuable are they? What might you be able to exchange them for?

9 What do they ask you to do with the coins? How willing are you to go along with this?

 After you do or refuse to do what the birds tell you, the objects sink back down to the floor and become still again. Do they retain their new form or change back or change to something else?

10 As your shadow self, you lay back down on the floor in the same spot as your body returns to the surface. How do you reunite with your body? Is it effortless or is there something you have to do?

11 Your next task is to overlay negative thoughts and outdated beliefs onto the objects. This means that you will hold the image of the object in your mind while fusing them with the feeling of a negative perspective that is ready to be transformed. For each object overlay a different negative emotion you want to work. Once this is achieved, knead the objects like clay, working out all traces of their original forms until they are just blobs of raw material. Now mold and shape them into a new forms that are pleasing to you. If you want you can use your mind to telekinetically aid the shaping of them.
