The Build Up and Release of Energy
In order to achieve success in an invocation or, in fact, in
any kind of shamanic/magickal work, we must know how to create a space, how to build up
energy and how to release it, and we must be very clear about what we are doing in each
step and when each step begins and ends. We don't want to become dogmatic about any of
these 3 steps, as if any one of these is the "way" to illumination,
trancendence, riches, etc. Each step has its place. That's all. And when it's time to
perform that step, all our attention should be on doing it to the best of our abilities.
When that step is over, we should let go of it without a second thought.
In terms of a brief summary, the 3 steps of the Radio Free
Clear Light session would be:
1- Preparation of the space
2- Experiments, rituals or other activities specific to the
invocation
3- The Invocation itself
The whole thing should be begun and ended clearly. Each step
should also have a clear beginning and an end. It is particularly important to distinguish
between the shamanic experiments or rituals that we do in order to perform and invocation
and the invocation itself. Once the invocation is working, we have to allow it to happen.
We can't predict what will happen ahead of time. If we could, then there would be no need
for an invocation! We are invoking the "other" to come, once the
"other" is present, we have to leave space for it to do its own actions, which
can't be predetermined by us.
The simplest, most basic and most essential invocation is
your own private invocation of your Essential Being (yours as in directly connected to
your four dimensional machine, not as in "your property"). Here you can see in a
small, direct and reachable way what it is that you will later try to do with a group in a
Radio Free Clear Light session. It must be clearly understood that you are attempting to
communicate with your Being, and your only means of communication are your actions
(mental, emotional and specially physical). As you establish communication you can send an
invitation. The invitation won't always be answered. But, in the event that is it
answered, you should be ready to allow space for the Being to play, and through this play,
achieve its Sacred Work in our own corner of the Multiverse. This "space for
play" is crucial. Without it, the invitation is an empty exercise in dogma or
ossified ritual.
This is why we don't include step by step rituals or
invocations in this book. What we give you are many experiments and exercises, which can
be combined in various ways to produce different results. We also give you what you need
in order to construct your own rituals. But no matter how carefully, how artfully and how
beautifully you plan these invocations, always make sure you leave a space for the
unpredictable release, the Radio Free Clear Light communication that is bound to come
through if everything goes "right". Once this starts to happen (and it may
happen sooner than you expect) release all expectations and allow the invocation to occur.
How do you know if it is actually happening? There is no
simple answer for this question. Many of the experiments in this book will help you
develop a sense for altered spaces and this will help. You will have to make quick
decisions, alone or with your group, as to when the invocation has actually begun. There
may be mistakes. This is not a problem. You will learn from this and apply what you learn
that next time you try it. Do try it often!
Experiment - Surrender to the Guest
1- Invite a friend over for dinner or for a walk. (A
physical, human dimension friend we mean!)
2- While you talk to your friend make a conscious effort to
surrender by listening intensely to your friend, or by following what your friend wants to
do instead of what you want to do. If you are walking together, subtly follow where your
friend wants to go without imposing your own sense of direction. If you are simply
talking, allow your friend to guide the subjects of the conversation. If your friend were
to become quiet or still, be with them in that stillness or quietness for a moment. If you
talk or move, do it just enough that your friend starts to talk or move as well, then
begin to follow once more.
3- Maintain this state, even while you respond and interact
with your friend. Simply keep in mind that you orbjective is to surrender. Don't make this
obvious! Act normally but give the space for your friend to manifest fully.
