Most people who ask that question have already had the experience and talked themselves out of it. So let’s stop guessing and get a number. Rate yourself on twenty statements about your mind’s eye, then train it for seven days with a mission a day. You are not being tested here. You are finding the starting line.
See where you’re at before boot camp. Rate each statement honestly, keep the number, and rate yourself again after the reps. The gap between the two is the muscle you built.
0 of 20 rated. There is no passing score here, only a number to measure the next one against.
What you are counting down to · Saturday, September 5 ▸This is the first time we have ever done something like this, and it feels awesome. You have three of us here to help, hold space, and bring you this energy.
As suggested in the name, this is BOOT CAMP. You do not go to boot camp to hang out in a corner and skip the work, and you do not go to boot camp and leave exactly as you walked in.
So for seven days there is a question and there is a mission. Rate yourself on the question, then run the mission.
Please start journaling now. Do not roll your eyes at me, it works. Write the date, write the mission, and write where you sit with the day's statement. Tracking it is how you get to watch yourself change.
I can see colors clearly in my mind's eye.
Attempt to see red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, magenta, white, pink. Any colors at all. No judgment.
If you are already feeling frustrated, that is okay. Jedis were not trained overnight. Pick one color, take four breaths, and physically set your space up to meditate with that color.
Play with the colors on demand in your mind's eye. Can you see most of the spectrum? All of it?
What colors are the items inside the Academy's mystery intuition box?
I can intentionally bring a simple image into my mind.
Pick one ordinary object you already know by heart. An apple, your house key, your own front door. Build it in your mind's eye on purpose, three times today, one minute each. Same object every time.
Hold the real thing in your hands first. Look at it for thirty seconds, close your eyes, and rebuild what you just saw. Peeking again is allowed. That is training, not cheating.
Build it without touching it, then turn it. Top, bottom, back. See if the far side stays put while you look at the near side.
Build it, then change one thing on purpose. Color, size, material. Notice how much of the image you actually have the controls for.
I can hold a mental image without immediately losing it.
Time it. Bring up yesterday's object and hold it. Write down how many seconds pass before it slips. Three rounds today: morning, afternoon, and night.
Five seconds is a win. When it slips, bring it back with no commentary about how you are doing. Bringing it back is the rep.
Go for thirty seconds with the detail intact. Every time it starts to fade, add one new detail instead of gripping harder.
Hold it while something else is going on. Music playing, eyes open, walking down the hall. Stability under load is the whole game.
I notice spontaneous images or symbols appearing in my awareness.
Stop building and start catching. Three times today, close your eyes for two minutes and write down every image that arrives on its own. No steering.
Static, smudges, colors, and shapes all count. If nothing comes, write down nothing. That is data too, and it is an honest answer.
Catch the first image inside the first ten seconds, before your mind has time to offer you something more impressive.
Ask one clear question before you close your eyes, catch what arrives, and leave it uninterpreted until tomorrow.
I can receive an image and describe it before analyzing what I think it means.
Describe, do not decode. Every image today gets written down as shape, color, texture, and movement. Meaning is off limits until the page is full.
Use plain words. Small, round, warm, gold. You are not writing poetry here, you are writing evidence.
Have a friend text you “sending now” while they focus on one photo. Write everything you see before you ask what it was.
Run the partner send with three different people, then lay the three pages side by side. Where independent answers agree, you are looking at signal.

5 days are open. The rest unlock one morning at a time, right up to Saturday, September 5.
Everything on this page is solo training, and solo training only takes the muscle so far. Session one of the Beyond the Senses Boot Camp puts you in a room on Saturday, September 5, sending and receiving with a partner who can tell you whether you were right.
