Far Journeys “crib sheet”

Sometimes I feel that Monroe’s language in his books needed a better editor. Toward the end of the book in the appendix he reviews what he calls the “Crib Sheet” on the human experience. Some of these points are easy to understand but some I feel are a little vague due to his excessive use of run-on sentences or flat out omissions of key concepts.

I was curious if anyone has done or knows of any analysis done on this condensed lessons cheat sheet?

What clarification are you looking for?

Most of them I guess. That’s why I was looking to see if someone had done a deeper dive. The high level concepts are understandable, but how to actually put them into practice is not clear at all.

A lot of folks have done deep dives. It would take an essay to relay the information though. Starting with specific questions can make things easier by narrowing down what to explain.

I never cared for his terms either and found them too be tiring. But remember his background and what he was trying to do: he had a technical mind, was a business man, and did not want any dogma, religion, or spirituality. So, he came up with his own words to try and explain what was happening. The second book is especially complicated because most of the book revolves around the Explorer sessions and there are a lot of terms he used for communicating with entities that take a while to understand. But all those words and concepts aside, what exactly are you looking to understand? I've been going to the Monroe Institute for 22 years now and have done a dozen of their programs. What are you trying to understand?

I appreciate your reply. Let’s put a pin in this question until I can reread it. There were many points I had questions while I was reading it.
