wants and desires that are greater than my own self survival. I can stretch out and experience others. I
can recognize that others have needs, wants, and desires. I can recognize their sovereignty. While I may
still see others as competing for the same resources I want, I can recognize that a situation can exist
where we can trade to produce a win-win situation. In the ego stages this is Ego Awareness.
F14 is a comprehension of what Bob refers to as "Earth Life Systems." F15 to F18 are still in the
physical realm, and thus can be experienced through our senses and physical experiences. Within these
focus levels, the human consciousness operates. Higher levels become less dense and less tangible, and
we must experience them through our virtual senses. Prayers, ideas, imagination, visions, and OBE are
examples of virtual senses.

Focus Level 15
Color blue, Geometry: Horizontal. A relaxed security state where the
conscious is learning and testing to feel comfortable and understand how this
level operates. This is the real event, now. The flash of intuition. The moment
of genius you spend the rest of your life describing. Bob calls this level where
the I-Here of me exists. Humans can be found on this level. This is a level
where decisions are made, to stay here, return to the previous level, or to move
on. As Bob Monroe describes it, “the state of no time.”
In meditation, you emerge from the boundary layer to a darkened blue space.
It is possible to see pockets of time arrayed before you like keys on a piano.
To access a period of time or a specific memory simply touch the key and the
memory for that time period will appear.
While you are more aware of time in this level, you notice that with the raising
of each level, time is more flexible but space remains the same. Bob said in an
interview that “you can go to F15 and experience nothing because you have to
initiate what you want to see.” For this reason this level can be very relaxing
and quiet. Like going to the library and picking the video or book you want to
experience. The relaxing aspect of this level is important because this is where
you gain information from the "real."
Session 13 SHE 03:43
“I can have better contact with her when she is outside. And when she relaxes and becomes in touch
with what is happening right then around her.”
For Miranon, no better medicine was available to mankind than to walk correctly being present and in
tune with nature.
The lantern of guidance exists on F15. It is typically seen as dark and
outside of space and outside of time. It is dark because it contains the
possibility of anything happening at any time in the past, the present or the
future. In some meditations this level is seen as a black and white snow
pattern on an old TV screen with no signal.
Here is what Bob Monroe said in his book "Ultimate Journey" p. 289
about Focus 15.
“This marks another step in the phase relationship, with a
smaller percentage of attention in physical matter and more in
the (M) Field. The concept, or illusion, of time is dropped from
the pattern; thus Focus 15 may be identified as a state of "no
time."

Focus Level 16
Color red, Geometry: A horizontal layer where
natural awareness of moving into a higher
plane is not obvious. It is easy to form
attachments and believe that you are the
attachment. Specifically, at this level, it is
memories that you are attached to. You are not
your memories. Your memories are something
you have. Any entity encountered at this level
is independent and typically alone. This level
is a mirror image of the previous level. It is
your own creation, an interpretation of what
you remember. It is therefore possible for you
to change the memory by changing your
interpretation and perception of the memory.
Bob calls this the level where the I-Here of me
exists. Humans can be found on this level.
Through self-reflection, I am able to realize the possibilities and explore new capabilities. When you
see an image, do you recognize yourself in it? Can you identify yourself with other people? Do you
hide from it or attack it? Do you see that an opinion is not who you are? The opinion was more than
likely given to you by someone else, like an old coat. You can wear it or change coats because you have
the freedom to choose. Seeing your public persona through the experiences of others, who have their
own lives separate from yours, is a great leap in self-understanding. Reflect on your response to the
images the world shows you. Take a lesson, because your reactions can reveal a deeper understanding
of yourself. Then let go of that incident like a balloon on a windy day. From your point of view, when
you do this, your authentic self will shine through.
In self-reflection, you honor your past and the past of those who came before you. You honor their
struggles and reflect on their lives in relation to your own. Find a way to be thankful for their sacrifices
so you can realize your own. Some practical ways of doing this include looking through a photo album
with a friend or loved one. Visit the cemetery and bring some flowers for those you know there. In your
prayers and meditations, visit your memories of them. If you want to, there are higher focus levels, like
F21-F27, where you can visit with these people. In meditation and prayer, you are accessing these
memories by creating a space to resolve any unfinished events. Even if it is imagination, the brain does
not know the difference.
It is necessary to resolve and unify both the good and bad times so you are able to neutralize your
attachments. If you understand, you can forgive anything and be forgiven, especially if you do not
deserve it. Grace, mercy, and love open you up for spiritual growth and the ability to progress to higher
levels. At the reflection level, you may only become aware of the incident as it surfaces. Collect these
memories like treasures of light surfacing from the watery depths.
Your public persona can have its own life separate from you. At this level, you become aware of your
60
public and private personas. You may even begin to compete with your own public image in an attempt
to control it and shape it to more closely match your ideal and the expectations of those around you.
Attachment is formed when you believe your own propaganda. You sow the seed of self and spread it
out to see what attracts positive attention. You are not this public image. Let go of that and understand
yourself from your perspective. When you do this, the rest will fall into line. Others do not define you.
This is the stage of ego awareness where you can successfully tune into your inner world. You observe
your thoughts as being separate from your awareness. You notice when ego is activated (triggered). You
become less attached to ego stories as "truth." The ego is still activated, but it does not drive choices,
habits, or patterns of behavior. Soon, the realization that "the observer or witness" is a possibility and
will drive your life. You can let go of opinions and not feel the need to defend them because they do not
define your identity. An opinion is not who you are.
When someone is angry with you for not sharing their opinion, you can respond with "I am sorry you
feel that way." Internally, you can let go of the attachment. It is okay for you to be sovereign and to
recognize the other person's sovereignty. If the other person does not respect your right to have your
own thoughts, now you understand them for where they are on their spiritual path. Bless them by
thanking them for sharing their position and let them go in peace.
Remembering parts of yourself from the past that you may or may not be proud of. This level is
reached easily when you have a quiet moment. First start to meditate or lay down to sleep. If you do not
consciously access a memory, a random memory will surface like a sphere of light from the depths.
Use the skills you learned in F10 and F12 to gain the cooperation and acceptance you need from these
memories. Each memory has the potential to give you more energy to focus longer. This is because
attention is used to sustain these unresolved incidents. As you resolve these memories, they give up the
energy to grow your current attention and focus. These memories are gifts, and you are blessed to have
them seek you out. Collect them and use them to fuel and grow your focus. Processing these memories
is the same as recovering parts of yourself in LifeLine exercises. In LifeLine exercises, you have to
actively seek out the lost parts. Here, they just come to you. Most people respond by rejecting these
thoughts as a nuisance. Change your perception and see it as an opportunity.
These memories and internal experiences follow a progression and loosely can be associated with
moving up the focus levels. General categories for the types of experiences someone can have are
described by Rick Strassman.10
“The first is "personal," which refers to experiences based on personal issues that might be
difficult to accept. The second is "transpersonal," which are novel experiences in terms of
quality and intensity, but they have some basis in the subject's previous experience.
Mystical and near-death-type experiences may be grouped in this category. And the third is
"invisible worlds," which involve encounters with autonomous, freestanding realities
seemingly inhabited by alien beings capable of interaction.”

Focus Level 17
Color yellow, Geometry: Horizontal.
F17 traverses the middle of the
previous two levels. Bob calls this the
level where the I-Here part of me
exists. Humans can be found on this
level. This level can reach directly into
other spheres where your brain and
mind are more coherent, synchronized,
and balanced.
Deal with distracting thoughts by
seeing them as bubbles independent of
your sphere. Then place these bubbles
in the energy conversion box to be
studied and given attention later. When
you see these thoughts as a part of you
but independent, at some point, you realize this part of yourself that is in the bubble is like those
encapsulated thoughts. You can observe the observer.
In the ego stages, this is the ego integration stage. The ego is fully strengthened and has self-autonomy
through acceptance of the shadow self and all emotional states. Sometimes this is referred to as the ego
death, but we know that the observer is gaining the cooperation of the ego to serve a useful function
and assist with focus and awareness. In this state, the awareness is beyond thoughts that do not have to
assign meaning to life experiences. This is emotional mastery.

Focus Level 18
Color: rose. Geometry: a vertical plane where it is
possible to descend or ascend energy from other
levels. F18 is a healing level where conflicting
energy is neutralized. It gives you the ability to
program your body and mind with whatever
abilities you want by using affirmations. It allows
communication and portals between levels, as
well as access to the subconscious. From this
level, establish transmutational contact with
guides and higher aspects of yourself. A love
state can exist at this level where spirit can
dissolve ego through negotiation to reveal truth,
growth and understanding. This level is another
opportunity to begin the quest for reintegration
and healing of self from higher and lower levels.
Bob calls this the level where the I-Here part of me exists. Humans can be found on this level. It is the
state of unconditional love and heart energy.
