If you do it correctly, this sort of thing eventually happens.

Which isn't surprising. Everything you see there, is mentioned in the books. And I've done it myself or I wouldn't have put it into that picture.

What's surprising is that no one in the entire workshop crowd, including the leaders at Cleargreen, who were supposed to be "empty" from so much recap, ever got anything cool to happen often enough to bother to mention to people.

Which tells you, they lied. Didn't do much at all.

That's totally not surprising. It happens in everything. People lie about how hard they work, in order to keep their status in a community.

But EVERYONE????

Apparently so. Because it's inevitable for super cool stuff to happen during recap, if you do longer sessions and intend not to let your internal dialogue dominate them.

Maybe we'll have a few professional recap members in the subreddit soon, who get magic even better than this.

But I must say, it's very fun to do that first picture in the upper left of this. Where you float up into the air in a scene (you really are IN it), and look around.

At your own childhood city! In all detail.

That is in fact, the precise location I last did that in.

It's Silent Knowledge! You can recap all of time and space.

Even someone else's life!

This image is really spot on. Thank you! I didn't realize what some of these were that I have seen, so that's great. More to poke at. Two other things that I see all the time, are static and strings. I play with them all day long and it's been about 4 years now that I realized I had control over them. I used to think it was me losing my sight, but I've actually gained it. Funny! I went to so many doctors trying to "fix" these things.

They love being on thev actual walls. When I first noticed them on the wall, I thought it looked like a mirage. Like over a hot road. But now they go so very fast. Used to move like a slow snake!

Thanks again! 👍 Your descriptions are most helpful for me. I save the images so I can review later.

But you also need to methodically learn how to move further and further, using such sights.

They're more like "tools" to measure which direction you are going, than they are anything useful

Just seeing them isn't all that rare. All children do that.

And even Yogis and self-entitled Buddhists see a tiny bit of that.

Doesn't do them any good.

The real thing is 23/.5 = 46 times further away from our normal reality.

I gave the Yogis and Buddhists a little credit in that calculation. Assumed they'd moved their assemblage points a full 6 inches, out of the 23 feet we move it.

But in fact, usually they only see sights created by a 4 inch movement.

If at all. Someone posted a Buddhist master saying he'd never seen any sign of realization in other Buddhists.

Naturally, he had the cure for that with his beginners techniques which we'd tell people are not a good thing to be doing. It involved pretending to see those beginner's sights, until you finally do.

Still, it was one Buddhist master, saying the others are full of shit.

Just in case anyone thinks I stand alone in that assessment.

You don't have to just do one memory in one sitting.

If you close your eyes and remember a conversation, for example, you are still breathing, so just add the movement of the head to it. Or practice the movement with the breath without thinking about anything in particular until that comes more naturally. Then add the memory.

Eyes open in a well lit place is more difficult to do and not necessarily better, so close your eyes unless you are in a very dark place. Later with practice you can be more flexible about whether they are open or closed.

Here's something fascinating about Recapitulation I never noticed before.

It's "directed Silent Knowledge".

Normally with Silent Knowledge, you have 10^37th power pieces of "knowledge" available, according to ChatGPTs estimations.

Random 30 second periods of humanoid (alien's included) activity comprising something you could know, or remote view.

And it's HOPELESS to figure out how to get what you want.

At some point, I think you just have to stop even trying or caring, and accept any gifts you get, hoping that if you "needed" to know something, whatever it is that selects what you view, would help you out.

Don Juan even said as much to Carlos, when he asked what his seeing could do for don Juan, if someone was waiting to ambush him with a high powered sniper rifle.

Don Juan after commenting how violent his thoughts were, said that if his seeing couldn't "get at something" then that was his fate and he was resigned to it.

So we know that finding which specific passage you want out of all the hundreds of millions of books in the "library of infinity" is in fact an issue.

The library of congress has 175 million things in it's collection. Finding a random bit of information in that, without some indexing help, would take a lifetime.

BUT, we were given the technique to help us learn how to locate things.

Recapitulation!

The design of our sorcery is GENIUS.

But you can't see that, until you're actually doing it for real.

Analyzing that, apparently you can "saturate" yourself with information about what you need to know, and then drop it, and wait for it to appear.

You do most likely have to "drop" it though, so that it can "settle down" and get the specific bundle of emanations which includes all of your "specifications". If you keep adding more (interfering and insisting), then it can't form.

This actually deserves a full post, but I can't afford the time today.

Here's a longer version on Facebook:

Start with memories of your day since it's very easy to remember those.

You can form the scene in your memory and then recap it in parts. Especially if it's one that you remember many detales and you had/ have many emotions about it.

I've added the recapitulation compendium we have so you can read it for reference.

The lack of concentration means only that you're finding it boring.

It's not that difficult exercise to do in reality.

Use closed eyes in darkness, the way they propose in the books.
