Hi All,
This is my first post!
I believe the practice of the LBRP is to develope the 3rd eye among many other things. Through repitition one will develope the technique over time. It just takes time to get it. I've always find it interesting to tabulate how many LBRPS one has performed or will perform in their life. It's the familiarity of the technique, faith, and facts that will make the practice stronger. As far as eyes closed, well I at times perform the Ritual in my imagination (as I'm sure many here do), but that takes some practice for sure at first.
In L.V.X.
