step towards the vision of the Self. Even though several extra- sensory perceptions will arise as you practise the techniques, the purpose is clearly to find the Self and to learn to see the world from the Self instead of seeing it from your usual mental consciousness.
This book should be taken as an introduction, a first thread, towards a completely different mode of perception and thinking. It has been written to serve the vast number of human beings who are presently ready to connect with spiritual realities and to step into a new form of consciousness. The techniques it offers are designed for people who are part of the world. They do not invite you to withdraw from your daily activities but to start performing them with a different awareness and a new vision, thereby implementing the line of Proverbs 3:6: "In all your ways know Him", said by the Talmud to contain the entire essence of the Torah.
After saying these words it may be important to state that the Clairvision School is not a 'New Age' organisation. Its methods and techniques are based on quite different principles from those usually found in the New Age movement. In particular at no time do the Clairvision techniques use any channelling, creative imagination or positive affirmations. No hypnosis or autosuggestion is used either. The techniques of the Clairvision School are based on a direct awakening of the body of energy, and the philosophy and background of the school are to be found in the western tradition of esoteric knowledge. If you happen to experience intense openings and realisations while putting our techniques into practice, it is quite possible that you too have a connection with this tradition. In particular it is expected that many will have clear awakenings in the third eye while reading the book.
Awakening the Third Eye is one of the introductory books to the Clairvision Corpus, the body of knowledge which is the background of the Clairvision School. The Clairvision Corpus contains both experiential and theoretical knowledge in the field of consciousness and the mysteries of human nature, with a special focus on transformation and inner alchemy. Alchemy can be defined as the art of raising the level of vibration of matter. Inner alchemy therefore refers to a form of spiritual development in which the ultimate purpose is not to abandon any connection
