The idea

The appearance of the notion of ideal is very interesting as regards experiences under hypnosis. This may either be the result of the method or spring from the personality of the subject of hypnosis. The problem already showed itself in the early phases of work. So much so that we made an effort to detach ourselves from it. We attempted to make the experiences more personal and unique. After the first hypnosis we set ourselves the goal of getting rid of banally idealistic images, and we did manage to shift from the level of concrete images and solely visual experiences. With the help of Tashi's instructions we concentrated on other senses, which might have been successful, but I think the relation to the ideal remained unchanged. Images were replaced by forms and forcefields, but still everything had a perfect shape. During one trip Tashi asked whether we were moving inside a body. The answer was a definite "no". For it was devoid of proliferation or anything organic, anything that would be indescribable by Euclidean geometry. When I told Tashi I was facing some life-belt shaped thing, I actually saw a torus, but didn't want to use that word. Our further routes also went along geometric spaces of pyramids, cylinders (tubes), spirals and prisms (rooms).

The same stands for the ultimate fourth occasion. Only by then the subjects of analysis weren't spaces and images, but we were concentrating on emotions and relations. Spaces and images seen earlier might have been the depictions of these. But even here the extreme and ideal nature of things remained. The perfect and ultimate that I met during the last sitting, is just as much the extremity on the scale of human emotions as the sphere in the family of geometric bodies. It is perfectly natural that the appeared in the form of a . Perfect! The most perfect human emotion in the form of the most perfect geometric form. Beautiful!
