Getting Started While this series is intended to assist you with achieving each condition that Bob describes, this will not make the process effortless. Notable among the obstacles one might expect to encounter when undertaking an exploration of the Second Body State is the fear barriers discussed at length in Bob's book. Nonetheless, Bob writes early in Chapter 16 that "I believe that anyone can experience existence in a Second Body if the desire is great enough. Whether or not anyone should is beyond the scope of my judgment." Later in this chapter Bob adds, "A note of caution is in order here for those who are interested in experimenting, for once opened, the doorway to his experience cannot be closed." Two primary ingredients for success are beginning the process with the proper intentions and the ability to relax without a sense of urgency. To help you with these two important prerequisites, this series includes a Relaxation Reinforcement exercise. Recorded in Bob's voice, this exercise uses a guided progressive relaxation technique, along with Hemi-Sync audio signals, to gently guide you into a deeply relaxed state. The exercise begins with a statement of affirmation, as used in the Institute's residential programs and in many Hemi-Sync products. It is recommended that you begin all exercises in this series with this affirmation, or one of your own design.
The Gateway Affirmation I am more than my physical body. Because I am more than physical matter, I can perceive that which is greater than the physical world. Therefore, in these exercises, I deeply desire to Expand, to Experience, to Know, to Understand, to Control to Use such greater energies and energy systems as may be beneficial and constructive to me and to those who follow me. Also, during these exercises, I deeply desire the help and cooperation, the assistance, the understanding of those individuals whose wisdom, development and experience are equal to or greater than my own. I ask their guidance and protection from any influence or any source that might provide me with less than my stated desires.
