The healing, heart-based levels are likely to be where you have the most profound experiences. It is the
place where a loving connection is formed, resulting in a bond similar to that of a mother and child. In
this level you can experience acceptance, kindness, grace, and forgiveness. It is the fourth level where
animals may appear as spirit guides.
Imagine you have access to a time machine in the future. Your future self travels back in time to meet
you and share their knowledge. Because they are you, they understand who you are and have your best
interests in mind. As you converse with this future version of yourself, they answer all of your
questions, but more importantly, they assure you that you will survive and that you are accepted and
loved exactly as you are. You are not flawed and require correction; rather, you are developing and
growing into the person you will become. You can easily solve problems as they arise because you
have developed a diverse set of skills, talents, and ways of thinking. Others will seek your advice,
comfort, and wisdom in the future, just as you are currently doing with your future self. When you
access this future version of yourself, you gradually transform into that person.

Focus Level 19
Color green, Geometry: Vertical descending. F19 is closely
tied to the next level. The predominant feeling is tranquility,
a sense of inner peace and awareness of the love
consciousness. Bob calls this level the "I-Here" level, where
my self exists. Humans can be found on this level.
Tranquility, a sense of inner peace and awareness of the love
consciousness. This level is like F12, yet at a higher, less
dense, more idealistic level. The green level can be thought
of as normalizing. The explorer uses the new information or
ability with ease. A phrase like, "We do that all the time" is a
good example.
Increasing levels is a function of the expansion of awareness.
In this case, new awareness is expanded from individual
concerns to an awareness of the afterlife or global
consciousness. At this level, abilities are explored through
adventure, exploration and experience are gained. This is
having mastered a skill or learning it to the point of being
able to innovate and creatively apply skills in new ways.
Problems are easily solved, and there is a high degree of
confidence in applying the ability. The explorer may teach or
write about the subject to pass along the skill to others.
Green is healing, like the rose level, and it is associated with
the purple level. This is where finding and resolving past
trauma, resolving internal conflict, learning to forgive,
resolving opposites, and making more wise choices are
learned. Healing and learning begin with a lesson in
humbling the ego through love, finding gratitude, mercy, and
forgiveness. Depending on the difficulty of the challenge,
the explorer may exist between the green and rose level for
an extended period of time.
The word "normalize" has some implication in how to understand this level better. Consider how a
wave rises, crests, and then falls. After the chaos of the froth, the water settles into a calm pool. The
water rushes out to meet the next wave, and the cycle repeats. A pulsing and refreshing of the contents
of the pool.
A thought can also pulse like a stone dropped into a calm pool. Many thoughts rise to the surface,
churning the waters of consciousness. The consciousness is then tossed around on the surface of the
water, causing distraction. The rock can be seen and traced back to its origins, as well as where it ended
up when it hit the bottom of the pool. This visualization will assist you in determining the origin of
persistent thoughts and impulsive actions. When you become aware of the source event, you can use
the seven resonant colors to alter your perception of it. Becoming aware and realizing you can do
64
something about the thoughts you have about the event expands your awareness. You level up.
Focusing more closely on the wave, you can see it rising. The wave is exciting, like the first part of
climbing up a roller coaster ride. As the car rises at the beginning of the ride, then plunges, and as the
passenger, you experience the associated feelings. Any event has the possibility of these kinds of
experiences and feelings. If, on the other hand, you had ridden the roller coaster hundreds of times, you
would be able to anticipate the feelings, both emotional and physical. The thrill of the climb and the
plunge on the other side would be completely understood for all of its effects. It is not that the ride is
not fun, but your reaction will be normalized. The event is the same; it is your reaction to the event that
changes. It is possible to think of this normalization as getting so used to the situation that it is boring.
This kind of thinking is a lesson in itself. Consider the skills needed to defuse a bomb. Yes, you may
have mastered it to the point of boredom, but that does not mean you are not paying attention to the job
as you are doing it. Being at the purple level is being at this level of familiarity and having the wisdom
to pay attention, knowing that losing focus could be perilous.
Normalizing is another concept that is related to grounding. We typically think of grounding as
something to do to get in touch with reality or the F1 state. Taking off the shoes and feeling the grass or
the sand is important for grounding after meditation. However, the same thing can be done at higher
levels to ground the consciousness and make the experience at that focus level more real. You are not
using your physical sense to do this grounding in higher focus levels. Bob Monroe referred to these
other senses as the "second body."

Focus Level 20
Color purple, Geometry: Ascending ellipse. F20
allows for transcendence to higher levels. Bob
calls this the level where the I-Here part of me
exists. Humans can be found at this level,
expanding into new areas of ability. At this level,
you become aware that mastery of the current
skill has opened new opportunities. Mastering
this skill means understanding that other abilities
are available that you had not ever considered
possible. There is unity between things that
seem, on the surface, impossibly different.
Patterns and methodology become revealed to
provide a deeper understanding. You see the
blockages that are preventing growth and resolve
them with help if necessary. Regrets and karma
are resolved. Self- and other-forgiveness
becomes both easy and necessary. Mercy from a
higher being resolved all else that is beyond your
capability. This mercy eliminates all blockages,
allowing passage to the next level. You have
now bridged the gap and are aware of these
other skills and abilities that are available to be
explored.
You are able to innovate by combining previous
knowledge and skills together to form new and
unexpected results that allow the piercing of the veil into the spiritual realm. Unlike others having a
near-death experience, you are making this journey with your own intention. It is easy and comfortable
as you step into the light and experience the next level of consciousness that is usually only discovered
by going through the dying process.
While you are more aware of time at this level, you notice that with the raising of each level, time is
more flexible but space remains the same.
In the previous level, you learned to normalize a skill. At this level, you can make it your own. This
level represents the peak of skill mastery. When one is at this level, it is possible to gain insight into
how other skills and abilities are the same. You can see the unifying thought behind what you do and
experience. A discussion about the skill sounds philosophical. For example, "as I view the tennis ball,
time seems to slow down."

Focus Level 21
Color white, Geometry: This level is a full circle because it is at
the edge of groups of seven resonant colors levels. Humans can
be found on this level both alive and deceased. This level pulses
light that radiates out to touch all other focus levels. F21 is a total
understanding of the previous levels. It is at the very edge of
human perception of the time/space continuum.
While meditating, the mind remains fully conscious and active.
In order to ground myself in this space, I visit Cafe 21, near the
bridge. The cafe has a mirror in the window where I can look at
my reflection and see what I look like here. I have a seat at an
outside table. When I sit in the white wicker chair, I lean forward
and rub my hands across the wicker table. I feel the bumps. The
wicker just slightly catches on the calluses of my hands. I poured
a cup of tea and set it in the empty chair across from me at the
table. In the middle are the cookies and jam-topped tarts on a
small white plate. I sip tea often and wait for an entity to join me for tea. Eating and feeling the texture
of the table grounds me at this focus level. This is also an opportunity for any guides or unconscious
thoughts to speak up. We can talk here. Just be open to an
encounter, no matter who sits down to have a conversation. You
can also meet other people who are doing an OBE, at Cafe 21. Off
in the distance, I see a bridge. A mountain range is in the distance,
but it is usually foggy and the mountains are obscured. This place
is way up in the air. I know this because when I look over the
bridge, I see many floors of a white round building stretching into
the fog below. A friend of mine has an apartment just a few floors
down, and I sometimes stop by to see her. She always has a party
going on with lots of people and music. There is a bridge within
visual range of the cafe, but the walkway wraps off to the left in a
grand circle past the bridge, and there are many more bridges if
you walk further down the road. The bridge is important because
it leads to other mirror dimensions. You can travel across the
bridge to other energy systems. Witness the reflection and travel
through dimensions to alternate realities to discover extraordinary
states of awareness. You can ask for assistance and guidance from
those whose wisdom, development, and experience are equal to or
greater than your own. Dimensions that exist beyond physical time-space reality are available to be
accessed.
The levels below F21 are mainly inhabited by
people in physical existence. Beyond F21, this is
not the case.

"Ultimate Journey" p.280.
“Focus 21. This state is the equivalent of deep (delta) sleep in ordinary physical life
activity. However, the mind is fully "awake" and conscious, directing the action. Focus 21
seems to be the maximum range of comfortable phase relationship between time-space and
(M) Field participation, the "edge" as it were. From Focus 21 it may be possible to verify
individually at a personal level the contents and concepts included in this volume.”
What is seen as material becomes less dense and less tangible at this and higher levels. To experience
these other levels, we must use our virtual senses. Prayers, ideas, imagination, visions, and OBE virtual
senses are not limited by time or space and do not require the presence of a body.
