1. Get that there IS something called Awareness and that it takes time to get in touch with.

2. Starting reading spiritual books; but be careful of some of the self-help/pop psychology books.
Read the Celestine Prophecy, Mutant Message Down Under, The Book of Life, Ishmael; forget books by Tony Robbins, Laura Schlesinger, Beverly D’Angelo. John Gray and Terry Cole-Whittaker are optional. Careful of the guru/follower approach.

3. Get to know as MANY people as you can who ARE aware and have made the transition.

4. Get a coach (or teacher) who’s been there and is now very aware and has a life/lifestyle to match.

5. Simplify your life significantly. You can’t sense more things/become aware if you’re under pressure/busy.

6. Eliminate all excess stimulation. Drugs, stress, overeating, television, nicotine.

7. Get that, perhaps, you ARE clueless!

8. Start associating with others who seems to have this “awareness thing” and learn from them. They’ll teach you.

9. Begin to notice EVERYTHING — you, people around you, their reactions to you, life, ebb and flow. Everything.

10. Once you begin to notice, then begin to notice how YOU are affected by your environment/stimuli. This is key.
