Even though no beneficial non-autonomous technologies currently exist, the future is wide open before them.

With the development of effective technologies, the phase will cease as the exclusive domain of the initiated and become a widespread practice. Only then will the (sometimes justified) stereotypes and prejudices connected to the mystical nature of the phenomenon be dispelled, and only then will the phase gain the necessary attention from researchers needed to ably develop the science of phase practice.

When externally applied methods that cause phase entrance are discovered, the human experience will drastically change. These technologies for inducing and monitoring phase experiences will open up incredible possibilities. For example, it will be possible to participate in a movie instead of just watching; people will be able to try and evaluate products without leaving home; travel throughout designed worlds will take place; computer games will be substituted with analogous experiences including real physical sensations.

The ultimate step would be the unification of phase experiences into a collective, parallel world integrated to existent digital networks: the Matrix (the Mindnet). Using this Matrix, it will be possible to communicate with someone on the other side of the planet - not just through a broadband video link, but literally tête à tête.

This vision of the future is a drop in the ocean of possibilities that will open with phase entrance technologies. The first step toward the future is a thorough, pragmatic, and correct application of the techniques now available.

Typical Mistakes With Non-Autonomous Techniques

· The belief that devices are able to phase entrance if autonomous techniques fail, even though it is much easier to enter the phase through strictly individual efforts.

· Wasting a large amount of time and effort on various technologies to create a phase state. No such technology exists.

· Using cueing technologies on a daily basis, even though they aren't supposed to be used more than twice a week.

· Using cueing technologies all night long, when it is much better to use these in conjunction with the deferred method.

· Using cueing technologies without affirming a personal intention of appropriate reaction to the signals: this is crucial to cue effectiveness.

· Working in pairs during the first hours of nighttime sleep, even though REM sleep occurs infrequently, and then for only short periods of time.

· While working in pairs, the helper giving an active practitioner too strong a signal. Signals should be kept discreet to prevent waking the sleeper.

· Employing an amateur hypnotist to increase the frequency of dream consciousness.

· The use of hypnotic suggestion to a practitioner who is not susceptible to hypnosis.

· Using physiological signals on a daily basis, causing physical discomfort versus getting enjoyment out of the practice.

· The belief chemical substances promote dissociative experiences. Acting on this belief is equivalent to drug abuse.
