This Symposium is a portion of Talk of the Month #20: 'The Chronic Defense Mechanism Against the Waking State: Part II'.

For those of you who have not attended a symposium before, please do make every effort to install the software beforehand and test it out, so that you can fully attend.

There is a brief excerpt from this excellent talk following this message, and we would be like to encourage all of you who want to come to the symposium to contact info@gatewaysbooksandtapes.com immediately to receive a FREE digital version of the full talk. This means that with your payment of $20 for the symposium, we will send each of you a copy of the talk in .PDF format which is readable with Adobe Acrobat.

Payment for the symposium can be made via PayPal or credit card (details below). All of the Talks of the Month are available at the Talk of the Month in printed pamphlet form for $10 each, or digitally for $5 each. The $20 fee for this symposium is for each avatar, not for each participant, so if you have more than one person at your computer, you would still only send $20.00.

Please try to be on time (10 am Sunday) and please make sure you have the software installed at least a day prior to the symposium so that you can focus on the symposium itself, and not be slowed down by downloading difficulties!

This talk is an excellent follow-up to TotM # 16: 'Attack at Dawn: Establishing a Beachead into the Fourth Dimension', in which an exercise to bring the machine into the waking state is presented. In this symposium we continue to examine the Chronic Defense Mechanism, through which we avoid entry into the waking state. Many of you may have already read this talk as it exists in Mr. Gold's book 'The Human Biological Machine as a Transformational Apparatus'. We will continue focusing on the practical matter of identifying those moments when our personal Chronic Defense Mechanisms are stimulated and how we can use recognition of these moments to leverage ourselves into the Waking state.

Talks of the Months are now available on CD from IDHHB or through Gateways.

We invite you to read the following talk and work with the ideas presented in the coming week. On Sunday we can talk together and share any questions, experiences or thoughts we may have about it.

Excerpt from
THE CHRONIC: PART II
....."Remember that the chronic serves as a thread through the labyrinth of sleep toward the waking state. One way is that you can work toward the waking state, which will activate the chronic. At this point, you can note that the chronic is getting more and more agitated, more urgent and more intense which indicates that you're getting closer to the waking state with the machine. So you can use the chronic as an indicator. "Another way is to actually allow the chronic to deepen, to intensify itself, to wildly allow it to become deeper and deeper up to the point where it would be expressed, but not expressing it. I don't mean suppressing it, I mean not expressing it; there's a difference. At that point, at the very, very verge of the waking state, you must hold everything in rein, hold yourself in check and wait. Sure enough, the waking state will be produced..."
