Activity #2:

Go to a museum.

Yes, go to a museum -- a museum with art on the wall would be best.

Time your entrance so that someone else opens the door.

Spend two hours in the museum. You may wander, sit, pace, look at the walls, look at the floors, look at the people, even look at the architecture -- do anything other than look at the art on the walls or the exhibits.

If you find yourself looking at any of the art, cross yourself in the following fashion.

Touch the bridge of your nose and say quietly "Spectacles."

Tough the area near...(where the zipper of your pants would be if you were wearing Levi jeans) and say "testicles."

Touch the area to the left of your heart and say "wallet."

Touch the area to the right of your heart and say "cigars."

Make this absolution each time you mess up and look at the art. Continue thus for two hours.

Notes: These experiments are almost guaranteed to thrust you into the clairvoyant vision of the awakened state -- also known as the Bardos. However, should you not be capable of behaving in a discreet manner you will be viewing the Bardos from the inside of a lunatic asylum. Chill and be cool. You are walking around in a public building and museums are not renowned for their tolerance of weirdoes and crazies.


Notes: What surprised those of us monitoring the original Just Because Club experiment was the almost unanimous reports of success in entering the clairvoyant vision -- also known as a Bardo state. Some of the individuals did not have the verbiage background to recognize what had occurred. But, when they described the activity it became obvious that something quite profound had occurred for them. For me, the lesson is: simple, but exact, changes in what we do can act as transformational triggers.

Buyer Beware: Some of these activities may be a bit too weird for you to do. Or, perhaps you may live in a family or clinical situation that doesn't allow you the freedom to do really strange stuff. If this is the case, call and we can work out an alternate activity. Don't get pushed into doing something that you will regret.

If you take the advice of an idiot, who's the idiot?
