Hi Pan, and thanks for your excellent reply.

>Yes, I do use Brainwave Entrainment (mainly the ?Ecstasy? CD, by Kelly Howell at www.brainsync.com), the Aneros, and of course, I?m a big fan of Amygdala Clicking.<

The "Ecstacy" CD is glorious sound and I find it exciting and very effective in raising my arousal level. I also use the Holosync "Awakening" and also the "Digital Drug" CDs. The latter is waveform patterns only but I find that it bends my mind like none other. (I hope it's safe!)

>I also discarded most of Neil?s instructions from ?Frontal Lobes Supercharge.? I think the most important aspect of learning to Click Forward is the ?Feather Technique? visualization exercise that he describes. I simply practiced that visualization relentlessly until I began to actually feel pleasurable sensations in my Amygdalae. Once that happened, I learned how to Click Forward through physical sensation alone.<

Yes, I find that the feather imagery works for me too, particularly if I think about two large fluffy yellow ones<g>. (I couldn't find anything helpful in an alternatively suggested concept of focussing the energy of the entire universe upon one's two poor little amygdalae!)

>A couple tips I can offer is:<

Thanks for those excellent suggestions. You seem to have achieved considerable results with the forward clicking. I hope I can get there, too. I do tend to forget about my amygdalae during the extreme sensations of a good KSMO session - I'll have to try to remember that they are inside there and might benefit from continued cosseting. When I do remember about them and apply a bit of mental effort I do begin to feel a pleasurable sense of presence or "fullness" in my frontal lobes and I feel that my KSMOs are enhanced accordingly.

>Well, it?s a funny thing, but as far as I know, the legendary ?clicking? sound is actually just a unique phenomena that a few people have experienced while Clicking Forward. It?s not by any means an indication of success or failure. I have been Clicking Forward for about 2 years now and I?ve had some amazing feelings and experiences, but none of them ever involved any kind of internal ?clicking,? sounds.<

Mmmm.

>I really don?t think it?s [the audible clicking] relevant to the practice of Amygdala Clicking. Neil Slade explained this in a couple newsletters last year. I think he regrets having mentioned it in the book at all, because it?s been rather misleading for people, who otherwise are doing very well in their practices.<

I didn't see those newsletters. I won't concern myself about it then.


>And that, in essence, is how it feels when I?m Clicking Forward.<

Thank you for your fascinating account of your impressions of your practice of amygdalae stimulation. I'm specially interested in your conviction that the Clicking Forward can be a powerful and versatile practice in its own right. But I also concur with your observation that both you and I, having been substantially re-wired by the KSMO, it probably would be impossible now for us to separate out the singular merits of Clicking Forward. But that doesn't really matter any more.

> I hope that helps to shed some more light on the subject and I hope you?ll feel free to share some of your experiences as well!<

Willingly. I'll come back with my Clicking results (if, or if not, successful).

Mog.
