If you are fascinated by dreams, symbols and metaphors, you\u2019ve found the perfect place.
I am very pleased to be able to introduce you tonight to Project Sanctuary.
I could tell you a lot about why it makes you more intelligent to have better understanding and

A \u2013 Oh no. In a trance, that\u2019s where youar e your dreaming mind. Or when you are asleep. We want to
do this whilst we\u2019re awake, seeing everything, noticing what is happening so we can talk about it,
understand what goes on, learn from it. I often say PS is a meeting place, not quite in here and not
quite there, so both partners can step up and have a conversation.

A \u2013 That\u2019s a guided meditation \u2013 you go to a place you are guided to by an author, or a speaker. In
Project Sanctuary, the one who guides you is your own unconscious mind. You and it create the
Sanctuary together but that is only the starting point, like a base in a foreign country. When you are on
holiday somewhere new, you have a base \u2013 a hotel or something. You make excursions from there and
return there so you have a place of rest and safety in between.

A \u2013 Oh yes. Whether or not you make pictures is neither here nor there, although doing PS does make you get better at it. As long as you know if something is green it doesn\u2019t matter how you know that \u2013 often it is just a feeling.

This is not something where you have to try really hard, or even try at all. It comes quite naturally.
Now me, I really like the thought of \u201ca Sanctuary\u201d \u2013 that\u2019s why I called it that. Not everyone likes that
word, so you can think instead of a perfect place, or a haven, or your dream home, or where you\u2019d
really like to be if you could be anywhere you wanted to be in a world where dreams are made real.

Some people like certain landscapes, certain times of the year, so we\u2019ll do it step by step and all you
have to do is check inside whether something feels right, feels good \u2013 that means you\u2019re going in the
right direction. If it feels wrong or not good, that\u2019s the wrong direction. This is how you know which
way to go when there\u2019s a decision on something, it\u2019s not a question of thinking about it or arguing with
yourself this way and that. In Project Sanctuary, you can have what you want, eat your cake and never
get fat, really everything and you can afford it all.

Ok, first of all, let\u2019s think of a landscape that really pleases you, an environment you would really feel at home, where you would breathe a sigh of relief and have this sense of homecoming and perfection. If you get many choices in your head, either go with the first one or just choose one, if you could only have the one, forever.

Don\u2019t worry about choosing now. This first one is a start, nothing more. All of those other ones are yours too later on and you can move between them as the mood takes you. For now, just pick a one that makes you go,mmm mhhh.... it feels so good to be here.

What time of year is it in your favourite place? Spring, summer, autumn, winter? And as you are there, what time of day is it? Morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night? Or more specifically, an hour of the day?

This place of yours is in a true sense outside of time and space, but by giving it this shape and a time you are fixing it. This is important because it is a meeting platform as we said and you need to find it again easily later on.

Now, and for the first real Project Sanctuary exercise, I want you to go and just be there for a time.
Walk around if you will and sense the place, make yourself known to it and have it know you in
return. Find out what there is, how big this area is, and what kind of boundaries if any exist around this
your Sanctuary space and the outside universe.

Take your time to do this \u2013 I\u2019ll give you about five minutes \u2013 and when you are done, turn to your
neighbour and briefly tell them about your Sanctuary. I know this is exciting but we don\u2019t have much
time, so please just tell them a brief outline so they get some idea, then hear what they discovered in
turn in the same way.

If you are doing this by yourself, please stop afterwards and just tell the room you\u2019re in in your own
words briefly what happened. Saying it out loud makes it more real, connects the reality of the
physical world to the system too to make it really span across the layers of all-there-is.

A lot of people are a bit wary of making a decision about their first Sanctuary one way or the other \u2013 what if I get it wrong? Won\u2019t I be stuck with something that wasn\u2019t as good as it could have been and everything will go horribly wrong from thereon in?

You can change anything at the expense of a single thought. You can reverse things, turn back time, re-shape things literally endlessly and until you are satisfied. You can erase things and start all over with something different at any time.
