RETURN AND MEMORY (STEP SEVEN)
Return (Part One Of Step Seven)
You're now familiar with returning to your
physical because it was explained as part of the cord
description. Since it's step seven, I stuck it here as well with
some further explanation.
You can slow your return to the physical with a bit of restraint. This is done by first concentrating on the direction of your physical body. You then move towards your physical with a controlled, dilly-dally attitude. You simply instruct yourself to return at a pace of your choosing.
The return to physical is much easier than getting out because it's the natural "state of being" for this environment. We live in a physical environment, so our physical takes precedence over our nonphysical. Traveling is the oddity. We are "pushing" with our desire beyond the physical perspective.
Memory (Part Two Of Step Seven)
I've explained the importance of committing
your nonphysical travel to physical memory after you return. It
was way back at the beginning of the book so you might have
forgotten by now. (Gee, if you forget to remember about
remembering memories, they should cancel each other out, and
you'd remember to remember and...oh forget it, I'm getting a
headache just trying to remember what my point was before I
forgot.)
Rather than make you click for the passage on memory, here's a rerun. A clean memory of the nonphysical event requires that it be imprinted upon the physical brain. A simple, conscious effort by the individual to recall the nonphysical event after returning to the physical is enough to imprint the travel. If the return to physical is immediately followed by falling directly to sleep and not committing the event from nonphysical knowledge to physical knowledge, there's a good chance of a muddled memory later or none at all of the event.
