Okay - I have a gripe

[Bobi]

Does anyone else have trouble keeping their eyes open while watching their modules?

With such cutting edge technology as PATHS one might hope for (expect?)something a bit more divertive than watching a throbing image not much removed from television's 1960's Outer Limits opening test pattern. ("There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission....") I think the associated subtle implication of mind control wouldn't be productive for business either.

Is it just me? Does anyone else think the visual aspects of the program could take more advantage of technologies from this millenium?

And while I'm on my rant - the image for Stand Out at Work is, well, tragic. This very Aryan blond haired, blue eyed woman in obvious need of a vacation stands in the foreground while her non-white minions smile contentedly from their proper place. I keep trying to "get over it" but it continues to creep me out.

Whew - I finished this before midnight. I can now leave this cranky tirade behind before entering the new year.

HAPPY 2008!

Yes, I catch myself closing my eyes, but then I usually watch my modules in the evening and I write this off to being tired. A good resolution for me would be to watch it earlier.

What I notice the most is my mind wandering, sometimes I think I have a mild A.D.D. because I'm trying to focus on the white circle, yet all sorts of thoughts and pictures run through my head that have nothing to do with the module's topic. Suggestions or comments about this, anyone?

Hi Bobi,
It is binaural beats that make you feel sleepy, they are in the audio portion and are present to help relax you. Many people get sleepy and some even fall asleep while watching their modules. The good news is that if you are still listening there is nothing to worry about you are still receiving the effects. Mostly what you are watching is there to allow your very busy conscious mind to get out of the way so the data can be received by your powerful subconscious.This is a good thing!! The technology is so advance that even though you are watching a boring picture you are being anyway

What I do while watching my modules is either do ho`oponopono or some other light mediative technique, it makes the time pass faster and keeps my conscious mind busy. Hope this is helpful!!

Hi Bobi,

LOL, I agree, We all at times have asked to change certain pictures and Paths has always graciously complied. The last one being on the Custom Module of a beautiful beach scene with a starfish on the sand. When I looked closely the starfish was upside down! Which of course meant.... well you know!

I also wanted to add to Keoi's great advice, I like to do breathing exercises when I view my modules.

Hi Bobi,

Binaural beats will make most people very relaxed, and there is a DIRECT correlation between how loud you play the binaural soundtrack (the audio portion of the Theater) and how effective it is at changing your brainwaves (making you more relaxed).

I sometimes fall asleep while watching, and that is fine if I have the time to do that. Most of the time I put the audio on low volume.

99% of the time I play the Theater on one screen and continue doing computer work on another screen. I rarely look the the visual part of the Theater.

Personally I find most of the pictures boring and I really do not like the orb coming toward me and backing away constantly.

Oh, and another thing I do...if I am working and feel a bit stressed during the day, I go ahead and play one of my theaters on one screen, with the volume on low, while I continue working....I find it has a calming effect, plus I am getting the benefit of my Modules!

Happy New Years!!!

(On a side note, last week I noticed for the first time that PATHS had conveniently added a little black dot right in the centre of the theatre, which made it much easier to focus on. I was really grateful for this. It wasn't until I'd finished watching the presentation that I discovered that the "dot" was actually a speck of dried food on my monitor. Anyway ... Happy New Year, everybody!)

[Grace]

LOL Rin!

Rin!!!!!

Rin!!!! Thank you for the laugh out loud! I needed that after sitting and staring at football games all day long! Oh and being made fun of because I yell at the TV screen! I am the only one in the family that likes football (well my little guy is learning to ) So thank you for the laugh!

o.k. at first I could understand your concerns....but now my honest opinion would be to get over it....obviousely they know what they are doing....you do not put this much time and effort into a product wihtout finding out what is the most beneficial to the person involved...this is just my personal opinion. the people at PATHS are very upstanding people (from what I know). If they are suggesting "concentrate on the little white circle" well, I will give them the benefit of the doubt... i will do this....if this is what they suggest...if at any time I am unfortable with this....welll....then I will say "screw it" and I WON'T listen to what ANYONE has to say....but on the whole these are people who are honestly looking out for the best of mankind.

I guess I forgot to say, if this does not feel "right"to you...then the bottom line is "don't do it"

[Bobi]

Kevin, I didn’t know the volume of binaural changed the effect. Interesting. Come to think of it, I tend to listen to it at a lower level now than I used to. And listening intentionally when feeling stressed is a new idea as well. Thanks.

I tend to watch my modules straight once then, like many of you, listen repeatedly while I’m going other computer work. Sometimes, if I’m new to a module, after I watch it straight I watch again up close and try to catch as many of the words that pop on the screen as I can just for fun.

Rin – that was the funniest thing. I love it when I’m startled into laughing out loud. Thank you!

Oh Grace, the poor starfish!

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I used some meditation practices on occasion as I watched but haven’t for a while. I’ll do that again and/or some breathing. Thank you - is always nice to slip more of those moments into the day anyway.

Joy in all things,
Bobi
