Stage 2 was far more exciting +or me than I could have
imagined. The ability to perceive all that was permitted
was so wonderful that it defies description. It seems that
the deeper I go into the CRV training the more enthused I
become. I still have difficulty with the presence of AOL. I
desperately try to weed it out and objectify it as much as
possible - ..... but I often edit it out rather that objectify
L. I r:zcognize that this can hinder me in the higher
stages of CRV and for this reason I make every attempt to
be cognizant of my tendencies and NOT EDIT!
Entry into Stage 2 of CRV training can be represented
as a "widening of the psychic aperture", or allowing the
viewer to gain access to more "channels". What at::
takes place is a greater "sensory contact" with the site -
Lhe viewer is asked to perceive:: colors, texture, sounds,
temperatures, smells and tastes and dimension.
The most critical of these sensory perceptions is
dimension -- in fact dimension could be labeled the "goal" ?
of Stage 2. Dimension must always be the last perception in
Stage 2. I+ dimension is reached too early in the session
there will be many other sensory perceptions that will go
unnoticed -- +or this reason, the monitor carefully guides
the viewer through the session not allowing (if possible) a
Lu ypass of sensory information +or dimensions alone. There
are numerous as to dimension, they areg vertical,
horizontal, angles, diagonals, mass and size. Four of the
latter must be identified (in relation to the site) before
the viewer may move on to Stage 1.
An additional requirement +or moving on to Stage is
the achievement of an AI (Aesthetic Impact) or the feelings
associated with the site being transferred to the actual
physical being of the viewer e.g. fear, heat, height,
enclosure etc- . Ari; - 4443 (KL "4-
It is the expression of AI coupled with the required
'F our" dimensional aspects that queues the monitor and the

There may be times when the viewer cannot perceive a
certain aspect of the site e.g., color or texture if
this is habitual or a problem 'far the viewer, the monitor
will ensure that the viewer is given sites which are rich
in color and textures. This type of reinforcement training
will permit the viewer to develop these senses.
"(IlustcH-s" refers to groups of Stage 2 perceptions
either relating to the site in general or to specific
gestalt e.g., "blue, white" are basic words clustered to
indicate perceptions on the gestalt of the sky another
example would be " blue, white, brown, green" which are
basic words clustered to indicate perceptions of the entire
site, such as sky and land.
"Basic Words" refers to the use of simple words to
describe the sensory perceptions present at the site. ihe
viewer is asked to refrain from using high level word
concepts, e.g., instead of saying "sweathouse" it should be
described as "hot-, we at etc. The reason that it is
done this way is to insure that the viewer's "psychic
aperture" remains open to all available sensory information
-- I+ words are used which describe a specific device,
place or thing than AOL gains a foothold and can quickly
begin to drive the pi:irceptions.
