Has anyone else found additional methods for increasing the likelihood on crossing the gateway.
Great question. This is a subject I'm very interested in.
Can you elaborate on the difference between active and passive meditation?
What was your experience after you crossed the gateway?
All of the following, I believe, can be used as means to open the gateway: ritual, chanting, movement (dance, whirling), sexual activity, hallucinogens like ayahuasca, fasting. Basically anything that pushes your conscious self beyond its limits and causes it to release its lock on your awareness so that you can experience your greater self.
The one conscious experience I have had of opening the gateway came during meditation at a time of great emotional stress.
