I read somewhere that magic is the use of ones will...

Is the will a manifestation of fire?  Why?..How?..But?! Hmm...

Thanks  :-)

Quote from: knucklebrain1970Six years left to live man. 2012 is coming. Do a search. Remember? Every 10 years or so the Earth is going to end?  :lol:  Well, now it's teetering on the brink of extinction once again and the magical number is 2012

Oh, that thing. I prefer 2112 myself.

Also, I didn't realise I was posting in Time Traveler's thread. I hope he doesn't get mad at me again.
Yes, some ancient mayans did some pretty advanced mathematics for their time and now everyone thinks they predicted world events and the rising of a new consciousness. sounds like fun but i doubt it.


It is already happening and have been for a long time. Remember we don´t see the trees because of the forrest :)

Welcome to Astral Chat! / The power of concentration
November 08, 2005, 04:57:58
http://www.yogachicago.com/sep05/sutras.shtml

I guess concentration is a must for the Siddhis (Psychic powers) and phasing ability

The third chapter of the Yoga Sutras, called Vibutti Pada, is translated as chapter on expansion. Since it contains some controversial information about supernatural abilities (called siddhis), it is important to remember that the Sutras were written as aphorisms with layers of meaning for a wide audience, from beginners to the most advanced yogis.

Patanjali opens this chapter with explanations of the last three limbs of yoga: dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation) and samadhi (liberation). The practice of these three limbs together is termed samyama, or integration. He describes the transformations that take place when the mind enters into these states, moving from one-pointedness in concentration, to the balance and silence of the mind in meditation and finally to the freedom of samadhi, or liberation.

One way to strengthen concentration is to practice yoga poses. When we hold a pose, we train the mind to hold to one thought, to the exclusion of other thoughts. Once concentration has been practiced with some success, we can let go of the focus of concentration and enter into the meditative state of stillness, where no thoughts clutter the mind. The mind is no longer holding to one point but is approaching silence. This state cannot be reached through effort or exertion. It comes of itself when concentration has been so fixed that all we need to do is let go of that final point of focus.

Once the state of meditation is attained, the next stage is liberation, bliss, samadhi. In samadhi, a tremendous amount of energy is released with a conscious direction, great awareness of Spirit and communion with Universal Energy, and there are incredible, amazing, astonishing insights.

Einstein once described how he came to his revolutionary concepts such as E = mc2 (Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared). He would concentrate fully on the problem to the exclusion of everything else. Then he would let go, relax and release from the concentration. It was in those moments when he was relaxing, thinking of nothing, that the answer would come to him in a flash of clarity. When he allowed deep silence into his mind after deep concentration, the result was liberation.

In today's world, however, disciplined and prolonged concentration are not encouraged. We are distracted by fast-paced activities, multi-tasking and sensory stimuli. The dominator model in society treats us as consumers/producers who work fast and hard to make money in order to spend money fast and hard on consumer products that, in turn, speed up our lives. The more things we have, the more our time is taken up with the care of material concerns. The simpler or more focused our life is, the more likely we have time to devote to lasting priorities. Perhaps artists, scientists and yogis are a few of the examples where concentration is still valued as part of a lifestyle for developing ourselves. But for all of us, to train the mind to one-pointedness is a way to strengthen the mind, and concentration is the first stage toward experiencing subtler realms of existence.

Compared to the first five limbs of yoga described in chapter two, (yamas--the laws of life, niyamas--rules for living, asanas--physical postures, pranayama--breathing exercises, pratyahara--retirement of the senses), these last three limbs (dharana--concentration, dhyana--meditation and samadhi--liberation) are internal processes. Concentration, meditation and liberation are considered to be the most intimate of the eight limbs and are seen as the heart of yoga. Patanjali explains that the transformations of quality, character and condition of the mind relate also to material transformations.

Sutras 16-54 of this chapter concentrate on the abilities that accompany samyama when it is directed in various ways. The teachings on these powers form the bulk of the chapter and describe wondrous gifts that come with the practice of samyama. These siddhis, or powers, are really by-products of the integration that come from the conjunction of concentration, meditation and samadhi.

There are many tiers to understand the powers described, much like peeling the layers of an onion. In fact, the abilities are different for each person, depending on the level of samyama or integration the individual has achieved. The powers are also differentiated according to where the energies are directed in our combined practice of concentration, meditation and samadhi.

We can obtain knowledge of time and space, of the atomic world, of outer space, of things concealed. We can come to new understandings about life on the intellectual, material, sensory and spiritual levels. Or we can use the by-products of samyama to unlock problems, much like Einstein did. Only practice can take one from the grosser aspects to the most delicate and subtle heights.

On one level, the accomplishments of the siddhis demonstrate that the yogi is on the right path. To the person who is aiming for enlightenment, they come as delightful surprises and serve as guideposts to a more purposeful life in greater service to humanity and ultimate Self-realization. However, these siddhis are useful only insofar as they set things in motion for the continued work toward liberation and are not ends in themselves. Patanjali warns that pursuit of magical powers, while forgetting the greater goal of liberation, is definitely another obstacle on the path. If we become preoccupied with seeking the siddhis, there is a guaranteed creation of new forms of attachment and aversion. Then we are sidetracked from the ultimate attainment of absorption into spirit, or enlightenment.

The great masters of siddhis used their powers sparingly and only to advance themselves and others to the next higher part of the process of Self-Realization. We read about Jesus walking on water, miraculous healings by curanderas, the appearance of angels and the magical experiences of Paramahansa Yogananda and his peers (in Autobiography of a Yogi).

Patanjali's elucidation of expanded powers of the mind may offer explanations of how the ancients defied gravity and moved the huge stones at Stonehenge in England, Newgrange in Ireland and similar places. One theory is that an ancient spiritual community there employed a communal chant and lifted the rocks by sound alone. As a side note, in the Gaelic language, there is a word "siddhis" (pronounced shees) that means "shared magical powers." It's quite likely that there was some connection between the ancient Irish and the ancient Hindus.

The Mukunda Stiles' translation gives us this translation of Sutra III, 40: "By mastery of udana prana, which moves up from the chest, one can encounter obstacles like water, mud, thorns, and so on without contacting them and, through this pranic current, ascend from gravity."

There is no limit to what the human mind is capable of achieving. The truth is that the closer we come to the source of our light, the stronger the energy becomes. Just as the physical laws of the universe change when we examine the tiniest parts of the subatomic universe, so, too, the liberated mind operates with an expanded set of universal laws. Time and space can bend. As Margot Adler once said, "Magic is changing consciousness at will."

In the Mukunda Stiles' translation of the Yoga Sutras, the last few threads read: "Thus, knowledge born of discrimination is the liberator unto absolute freedom; it recognizes all objects in all conditions, regardless of their sequential appearance. Therefore, when the purified mind becomes equal in purity with the Transcendental Self, then absolute freedom arises."

Human beings are presently at a real crossroads. We are in great need of freedom. We are preparing for an evolutionary leap. It is necessary for our survival and for the well being of Mother Earth that we meet this challenge. Spirit is asking us to step forward in courageous and creative ways to experience our true Reality.

We have not yet reached critical mass but the possibility exists that there will be many more enlightened beings in the not-so-distant future. Enlightenment, for us, is a possibility this lifetime.

Our planet is now convulsing from war and climate change. The suffering of millions from violence and greed is intense. Our compassion for ourselves and others is a great motivating factor for finding our way to liberation. Fear and chaos often seem to heighten just before a real breakthrough into a burst of freedom. We need to choose love over fear in every situation we encounter: love for ourselves, our communities, our beloved Earth and oneness with Spirit. This love is a compelling and profound power urging us toward Self-Realization.

We need more people to practice samyama on peace. We need more active participants on a path of non-violent transformation for humanity. We need to help one another transcend the boundaries that separate us from our true nature.

Light will attract light. We come from the stars, are made of the same elements as the stars, and it is to the light we return with the tools and power of yoga.

There are many different translations of the Yoga Sutras, some very sparse and others with lengthy commentary. You can easily print the few pages of the actual Sutras from any number of websites. In writing this article, I referred to the following books: The Heart of Yoga: Developing a Personal Practice by T.K.V. Desikachar, Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, by B.K.S. Iyengar; The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, translated and introduced by Alistair Shearer; Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, by Mukunda Stiles; and The Essence of Yoga, by Georg Fuerstein and Jeanine Miller. You may also be interested in a story I wrote about my experience with the siddhis, "Visions of the Future," which is included a book entitled Awakening the Spirit, Inspiring the Soul: 30 Stories of Interspiritual Discovery in the Community of Faiths, edited by Brother Wayne Teasdale and Martha Howard, MD.

A Story about Powers
From Bruce Symonds:

A student arrived a little late one night for hatha yoga class and asked if she had missed anything. I told her we had learned to levitate. She wrote me an E-mail which follows, along with my response.

"N" writes: "I got a kick out of your comment about your students levitating last week. I have always wondered: is levitation really possible? If so, how does it work?

Bruce replies: Yes! One can achieve what are called the yoga siddhis, or powers. One who has achieved these powers is called a siddha.

Levitation isn't the only paranormal accomplishment. There is also clairvoyance, clairaudience, the ability to move through solid objects, telepathy and the ability to be in two or more places simultaneously. (However, most of us need to be working on being in one place at one time.)

Patanjali's Yoga Sutras (written about 200 BCE and arguably the most important book on yoga) devotes the third chapter to the powers. It is indeed enticing to think of these powers, but they are merely toys. Why not just buy a Game Boy? Patanjali warns, "There are powers in the worldly state, but they are obstacles to samadhi."

One of my favorite teachers, Ram Das, says that if you want a Cadillac and meditate on it long enough, you'll get a Cadillac. The problem, you can see, is that by the time you acquire the ability to get a Cadillac, you probably wouldn't want one any more....In other words, by the time you and I developed the skills to levitate, we'd probably see that there are a lot better things to do than float around the room!

As one continues to practice yoga, one probably will gain some (mild) siddhis. Do not become attached. They are distractions.

Samadhi = single point concentration (sort of)

Copied from www.aumshakti.org/Samadhi.htm

The word 'SAMADHI' need not be always related to giving up the human body or as a way of renouncing this world by giving up life. The fruit of meditation is Samadhi. It brings Kaivalya or absolute independence. Samadhi gives Moksha. This is the culmination or climax of Yoga. With the advent of the knowledge of self, ignorance vanishes. With the disappearance of the root cause, viz – ignorance, egoism etc., also disappears.

Samadhi is union with the Lord. It is Super-conscious state, wherein the Yogi gets super sensual bliss. It is Adhyatmic Anubhava (Divine experience). The mind melts in the Eternal or the Atman, like salt in water or camphor in flame. Samadhi installs you in the Atman. Through Samadhi, the finite self is absorbed in the infinite or absolute consciousness. It leads to the unity of the Jivatman (individual soul) and the Parmatman (Supreme power). The knowledge that you obtain is Divine, super sensual, intuitive knowledge, where reason, inference and testimony cannot go.

Samadhi is inner divine experience, which is beyond the reach of speech and mind. The state of Samadhi is beyond all relativity. It cannot be expressed by any language or means. In Nirvikalpa Samadhi there is neither physical nor mental consciousness. There is only spiritual consciousness. There is only the existence of SAT (Truth). This is your real Swaroopa (nature). When the water dries up in a pool, the reflection of the sun in water also vanishes. Similarly, when the mind melts in Brahman (GOD) and the mind-lake dries up, the reflected Chaitanya also vanishes. The Jivatman or individual personality goes away. There remains Existence alone.

Samadhi is of two kinds, viz – Savikalpa Samadhi and Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Savikalpa is a lower Samadhi. In Savikalpa Samadhi the Samskaras or latent impressions are not burnt completely. There is support for the mind. In Nirvikalpa Samadhi the Samskaras or latent impressions are burnt completely. There is no support for the mind.

I also know that the phenomenon of numerology is real. At least that numbers are important. People think in geometric patterns and the same ratios comes back again and again.

Can you communicate with your subconscious through phasing?



I think that is the definition of phasing. I posted a message about the universal mind earlier. The author talks about the brainwave frequencies and what they mean. Sounds like it is related to the phases

From http://www.probablefuture.com/



Mr. O'Donnell is the founder of the Academy of Remote Viewing. He was a remote viewing instructor for the remote viewing (mental espionage) branch of a Western intelligence organization. Mr. O'Donnell would like to make the following information available:

   In order to successfully remote view, an individual must operate at a level of mind where he/she will show electrical brain wave traces where Theta waves oscillating between 4 to 5 cycles per second will predominate.  Psychophysiologists call this the deep Theta level of the mind.

  The deep Theta zone is precisely at the interface with the Delta level of mind (deep sleep), where the human brain waves oscillate between 1 to 4 cycles per second.

   The Delta level of mind (deep sleep: no dreaming present), has remained up to now one of the most mysterious and unsolved puzzles of modern science. Man has, and is exploring further and further frontiers of the natural world and of space, but has yet to gain any understanding of a state in which he spends close to a third of his lifetime. There is a good reason for this: Since consciousness is lost at the Delta  level, the scientific mainstream has concluded that most thought processes disappear when sleeping (except for the relatively short dream periods, which have drawn the biggest research efforts). Since no one has ever recalled any experiences while in  the Delta state, it was inferred that there was really nothing to be recalled. Remote viewing operations in Europe have shown otherwise.

 When someone is awake and totally active, his/her brain waves operate at a level called Beta where they mainly oscillate between 14 to 30 cycles per second. As one's mind relaxes and disconnects somehow from the external material world - as when daydreaming, for instance, or when meditating, or watching a movie - one enters a more focused, expanded state of awareness where brain wave patterns are mainly composed of Alpha waves oscillating at between 8 and 13 cycles per second. When relaxing even further, the mind enters a region that correlates with a large relative quantity of brain wave patterns of 4 to 7 cycles per second. This is the Theta zone of the mind.

 The Beta level corresponds to a focus of concentration by the mind upon the outside or perceptually separated world, and the Alpha and Theta levels correspond to a more internally focused, self-reflective state.

 Each human being experiences the Theta level for a fleeting moment every night before the mind dips down from the Beta level of awareness (awake state), to the Delta state (brain waves of less than 4 cycles per second: deep sleep), and passes rapidly through the Alpha and Theta states to enter the profound sleep level, where consciousness of self is totally lost, and where even dreams do not occur. (When dreaming, a sense of self is necessary and the mind has to go back up to the Theta or Alpha state.)
    Delta is the level of the mysterious universal mind. It is the level at which the differentiated self (ego) expands to become undifferentiated and operates outside of the confines of linear time/space. This is the level of One.

 Time and space exist only  within the Universal Mind. The Universal Mind is not separated from us, and we are not separated from It. Since everything interconnects through thought, thought is the only reality that can bridge space and time.

 The universal mind creates us constantly. We are but  epiphenomenona of It.

 The ego (sense of separated self) opposes such notions and fears the notion of the "One." It reveres and finds security in the notion of the "many." That is why it fears death and wants to prolong life as a perception of individual separateness for as long as possible, and even projects this fear into its understanding of the so-called afterlife. The stronger the ego, the bigger the need to differentiate from one another, and remain differentiated.

 Everybody wants to remember having been somebody, nobody seems to want to remember having been Everybody.

 When operating at the level of Delta ( sleep, surgical unconsciousness, and certain pathological conditions such as epileptic petit mal), the mind changes awareness and from being perceptually differentiated and having a sense of self, of I (ego), which it then forgets, and expands to become interconnected to everywhen and everything. At that point the prior conscious awareness is lost (unconsciousness), and is only regained when the mind once again experiences the previous levels at which separateness is possible: Theta, Alpha and Beta.

 When recorded on an electrocardiogram, the human heart shows electrical vibration patterns that, like the brain's Delta waves, range between 1 and 4 cycles per second. When either the brain or the heart stop vibrating electrically, death ensues.

 Dreaming while asleep is associated with rapid eye movement (REM). Dreaming usually occurs at the Alpha  and Theta levels, when the mind of a sleeping person regains a sense of self and being, influenced both by the information coming from the level outside the realm of linear time/space (Delta: universal mind), and the memories attached to the adjacent Beta level of awareness (level of being awake: conscious), which create associational imagery.

 In reality, the Alpha&Theta levels of sleep is but a mirror image of the Alpha &Theta levels of wakefulness. Both are interconnected and express themselves through similar brain waves. Deep Theta is the only level that interacts with the level of Delta. It is the interface point.

 Alpha, Theta and Delta (sleep) are defined as "altered states of consciousness," as opposed to Beta, which is considered to be a fully conscious state. They are so called because it is necessary to alter one's state of consciousness from the fully awake state (Beta), to either Alpha, Theta or Delta (sleep), which are all progressive states of expanded awareness and thus are subject to less vibratory interference from the biological brain.
   Beta is the so-called conscious level of mind. Alpha and Theta form the subconscious regions of the mind's operation, and Delta is the unconscious region of thought activity. These states form the spectrum of mind operation.

 Small children function mainly at the Theta, Alpha and Delta states of mind, as do animals. Human adults operate mostly at Beta.

 While the ego (awareness of self) is present and one is in the Beta, Alpha, or Theta state, all levels of the mind operate at once. One only concentrates more on one level than on another, showing therefore more brain wave patterns pertaining to the one band of operation the mind concentrates upon. Nevertheless all patterns are always present, defining life. It is only at death that this spectrum disappears.

 In a nutshell: As the mind focuses upon the external (perceptually separated and material) world, it is at the Beta level. When the mind focuses and increasingly concentrates self-reflectively upon itself and its inner processes, it climbs in awareness from Alpha to Theta, and finally to Delta.

 One cannot make a cognitive bypass from the Beta level of mind to the Delta level (universal mind) without first receiving the sensory thought-data through the interface of the Alpha and Theta levels. Even though one might not be aware of it because of his/her increased concentrated awareness at the level of Beta (full awareness), thought flows as it expands down or restricts itself up and correlates in opposite directions with the brain waves' rythms.

 The frequency of the real vibratory levels of the mind are inversely correlated with the electrical vibrations at the level of the biological brain. The higher vibration levels of the mind are synonymous with higher levels of awareness, i.e. interconnectedness. These vibrations can only be perceived at the exact interface with the Delta level. Nevertheless, they are always extant.

 The recorded electrical activity of human brain waves of the highest voltage and lowest frequency appear in the Delta rhythm (50 to 350 microvolts, 1 to 4 Hz), which occurs mainly during sleep and unconscious states. Delta waves only pierce the outer layer of the brain in great quantity and frequency during periods of cortical rest such as deep sleep. Their focal and very frequent presence at any other moment indicate a pathological process due mainly to brain injury (lack of filtering). The biological origin of Delta waves is totally unknown, short of the fact that they seem to emanate from the deepest layers of the brain.
   Theta waves are of a lower voltage and higher frequency (4 to 8 Hz) and show up throughout all the regions of the outer shell of the human brain called the cerebral cortex in an disorganized and spurtive manner. Theta waves originate probably in a very deep inner seated area of he brain called the hippocampus. Animals excluding primates show very large and constantly organized production of Theta waves that are easily recorded at the level of their cerebral outer cortex.
   Beta waves are of an even lower voltage and faster vibratory rate (10 to 20 microvolts and 14 to 30 Hz).

 The vibratory scheme of the brain seems to imply, therefore, by virtue of the mathematical construct of periodic waves (Fourier transform), that the higher amperage and slower waves of Theta are a prelude to the production of smaller and faster vibrations. Or, in layman terms: Delta probably originates Theta that originates Alpha that originates Beta

 Electric encephalographic tracing of the brain, or any other recording of its biological activity (neurotransmitters, PET scanning), are correlated with expressions of thought processes or levels of the mind. These electrical phenomena are neither the source of mind, nor even part of its real mechanisms. Other, up-to-now unrecognized,  fields of light/thought fiber/optic-like strands operating within the bio-computer of the brain are involved in encoding and processing information. These fields are totally unknown to and undetected by modern science, and are paramount  in the data processing of thoughts received from Source Itself.

 In mammals and many other species, the brain is the major processing interface between the reality of thought and the sensory perception of matter.

 The brain is the seat of sensory input/output defining and framing our perception of space/time reality. Visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile etc. sensory perceptions originate from it.

 Sensory experiences are coherent and subjective. Life, as a perception of linear space/time causal realities, is but a grand illusion created by our senses.

 Reality, which is our perception of space/time, is perceived through our senses, and each individual's sensory perception is unique. Our senses condition us and define our needs. Thus, we cannot avoid catering to them.

 When all senses are gone, life ends. The space/time dimension of reality is then over, because it can no longer be perceived.

 All individuations of thought operating within the space/time continuum are different in order to keep the challenge great and life interesting.

 The challenge is in these realizations and in the ensuing behavior modifications they will hopefully bring about.

 It is only the sensory (material phenomenal) world that binds thought to the external realities of space/time. Thought, in itself, is not bound by either.

 It has been recently estimated by neurophysiologists that if mankind were to use all of its recent knowledge and resources to build a utopian computer that would try to somehow replicate the feats of the human mind, that computer would need to be at the very least the size of our planet, and - even then - nobody would know how to program it.

 Mankind seems to have taken to the misconceived but currently accepted scientific notion that thought is present only as an epiphenomenon of the computer-like biochemical brain, with an almost unquestioned pseudo-religious fervor. At the same time, mankind does not find incongruous the almost instinctive belief that each human entity will survive the threshold of "death" - defined as the moment when the brain dies - as a miraculously converted intelligent "spiritual entity" bestowed with thought processed, or that a general intelligence or "Creator" exists – one who is also "permitted to think" – without benefit of a biologically material "brain." This paradox does even seem to invite any questioning, or provoke pondering!

In a now classical study, British Neurologist John Lorber  found that many individuals who had suffered of a condition called hydrocephalus during childhood, where the brain becomes filled with cerebrospinal fluid that destroy many if not most of their brain structures, operated with totally normal cognitive and intellectual capacities.  In one celebrated case, Lorber found at Sheffield University, UK, an young student who exhibited larger than normal cranial size. Upon subjecting the student to  C.A.T. (Computerized Axial Tomography) study, it was found that this individual (without that man's prior knowledge of his condition) had virtually no brain: that his cranial spaces were filled with cerebrospinal fluid and that only a very thin membrane of neurons, approximately 1 mm thick was lining the surface of his cranium, and nothing else!   Nevertheless, this student exhibited an IQ of 126 and had graduated with a honor degree in Mathematics!  He also exhibited totally normal cognitive, functional  and sensory behavior!  Why the Brain/Mind association myth is so ingrained in scientific circles, in spite of many proofs to the contrary, is akin to the myth of an electron being a material body, even though no one had really ever directly seen one!

 In the classical "rational" scientific view, the "brilliant" assumption is that the entire universe suddenly spewed out of absolute nothingness, and that many billions of years later, intelligence oddly appeared, as rocks turned into meat and started "thinking." The wonders of RNA/DNA encoding and replication do not even invite the notion of Creational intent! It implies that the Universe only awaits the wonders of our insatiable curious inquiry, as we play clumsily in the playpen of an "unaware" natural world.  

 On the other hand, the old " irrational " spirito-metaphysical view holds that the Universe was intentionally Created by a Thinking Being of Infinite Intelligence, and Tremendous Wisdom, that we do not quite fathom yet, nor really understand, who IS connected to all of us. This view is encountering problems in becoming "progressive" to most, seemingly "old-fashioned", and often manipulated by many.

 Mind does not need the brain at all in order to operate. The Brain is only a restricting data processing mechanism framing and filtering ,alike a colander, thoughts originating from the Quantum source of ALL THOUGHT POSSIBILITIES.

 The main reason human beings perceive thoughts to originate from and be located in the head area is because all sensory apparatus (visual, olfactory, auditory, etc.), is located there.   It is only when all biological sensory data is totally gone that the mind expands automatically everywhere, i.e. "death."

 The fact that the brain shows signs of activity when one is engaged in the process of thinking does not mean that thought originates in this physical organ. Nevertheless, it processes it. In the same way as laughter and smiling are but the outer expression of an inner emotion, they are not the cause of it. To solely concentrate on the smile and methodically try to understand it would make no sense. And the fact that forcing a smile sometimes evokes a slight emotion of happiness does not prove that smiling is the origin of happiness.

 In the ever-evolving fields of psychophysiology and neurobiology, the concept of the brain as the seat of thought may eventually be recognized as one of the major scientific blunders of the twentieth century, if not of all times, and the scientific and cultural snapshot of this century will portray a misuse of human energy of staggering proportions.

 In a modern digital computer, the linear multimedia output of information is performed by the input/output cards (digital/analog conversion) attached to it (graphics, audio etc..). We can connect to them through video screens and speakers. We can then see and hear information presented in a linear palatable fashion to our linear physical senses processed in our brain. Nevertheless, the digital computer uses nonlinear processing methods and stores memory within its memory cells in a random (nonlinear) accessible fashion. One can see electrical activity within these input/output cards when information transits through them, and they also cease to work properly if they are damaged.

  This is exactly what the brain does: it is a transducer and decoder of nonlinear information (digital-like) into linear (analog-like) sensory data. That information is then processed by the individual's restricted mind. Information only passes through it. As a feedback mechanism, thought (MIND) makes decisions based upon the linear 3D sensory data experienced. And based on these decisions, more sensory information is then projected to each and every thinking individual.

 Even matter - as modern quantum mechanics has experimentally proven - might not be as solid as one perceives it to be. In fact, it is but a vibratory byproduct of mind.

 As a matter of fact, NOTHING exists outside of oneself. Neither Space nor Time. It is all a grand illusion called life, activated in order to express thought and emotions from which the Universal Mind learns.

 The Ego, or the "I", is an imaginary being.  It has no real existence. It is only given the illusion of being a real entity. For experimental purposes (Creation). Only the sum of ALL as the Universal Mind has a real and eternal existence.

 The All-That -Is might decide, for experimental reasons, to experience an entity (memory bank) into another life-time (situation) to get more learning from it. It may also blend different memory banks into a branch of thought connected to  parallel experiments in the Tree of Creation. It is ITS choice to make.

 Thoughtless-ness cannot exist. Consciousness as thought exists only through its active expressions and manifestations as parts of its Creation.

 The All-that-IS is not static but forever evolving. It is Awareness Itself modulated by creative thought.  It flows in everything and each one of us, and gives life and reality to all.  Therefore there is no consciousness as thought that just IS. Thoughtless Beingness is an oxymoron.

 If an expression of thought does not learn or evolve, it is discarded and stops being thought about by the Collective Mind. And in the blink of a thought, it therefore ceases to exist.

 This applies to individual expressions of Thought, whole Creations of Thought, and even groupings of parallel Creations. The only goal of the Ultimate Mind is to learn and evolve.

 There is no such thing as an "ordinary state of consciousness;" neither are there "altered states of consciousness."  There only are  different focuses of concentration.

 "Man is asleep," said Ouspensky. However, man is not dreaming, since man is the object of the Dream; A facet/character relationship. This Subject/Dreamer is the Eternal Higher Self, and the object of the Dream is the illusory man/woman entity operating within a spatial/temporal illusion for a fleeting moment.

 Often, when the sensory world produces undue stress, fear, grief, and anxiety, human beings try to alter their sensory experience by taking drugs that alter and distort those experiences by poisoning the brain, whose role is to produce the linear sensory temporal/spatial reality.

 The brain is really a colander of thought that only restricts the experience of thoughts within slow, linear sensory processes.  If the brain is damaged or impaired in any way, the filtering processes increase even more, and the individuation of Thought receives a distorted notion of sensory reality.

 Sadly, it has become an accepted state of affairs in Western societies to "medicate" states of unhappiness and/or fear by ingesting brain altering chemicals. An this occurs to a ridiculous degree.

 Many "learned" behavioral "scientists," particularly  in the United States of America,  have even come to the  irresponsible conclusion that naturally inward-focusing (day-dreaming) children that easily get bored with the external reality are at risk of becoming potentially non-productive members of society, and have therefore recently invented a new psychological syndrome which they coined "Attention-Deficit-Disorder  (ADD /ADHD),"  that they peddle very efficiently to an unaware public.  This newly discovered "disease" has recently been extended by many medical and psychological mental health  "experts" to even apply to some of  the U.S. adult population.  European medical mental health authorities, for the most part, deride this approach, and refuse to recognize ADD as a real mental disorder.  

 The accepted treatment in the US is to medicate these children, often from an early age, with a powerful stimulant that alters and shifts the brainwave patterns into an accelerated beta-mode. By disturbing neurotransmitter functions, especially the dopamine release cycle, the developing child is forced to focus solely on the external material reality. In the 60's, this powerful class of stimulant was used for recreational purposes, and coined "speed" within the underground drug culture. Often serious depressive rebound effects were experienced when the drug was interrupted.

 This class of mind-altering drugs distort the proper natural functioning of the sensory perception of reality.

 This relatively recent chemical behavior modification field and the ADD "scare" has given birth to a gigantic profit-oriented industry of so-called experts and drug producing companies that often "push" such misconceptions with great fervor for their own self-interests and hidden agendas.

 The irony and great tragedy of the ADD situation is that Western societies which embrace such ridiculous notions  might, by sheer ignorance of the real mechanisms of the Mind, be disturbing  or even permanently harming  the most potentially creative individuals that they harbor.  The ones that can think in a nonlinear fashion. The ones that have a natural tendency to focus within themselves in order to find creative inspiration, and intuition. These future visionaries that were meant to be operative in the next century in order to steer us into more evolved behaviors and creative endeavors, in the arts, fundamental sciences; health, geopolitical, financial, spiritual, and ecological crisis management, may very well have been chemically poisoned and maybe permanently impaired by mankind's inflated ego, ignorance, and the orgy of greed and egoistic tendencies that we are experiencing.  This might very well cause the permanent decline of these forms of human societies.

 This is and will continue to impact negatively the evolution of those Western societies that seem to try recently to mentally enslave, uniform and robotize masses for the perceived "greater good" of a mechanized industrialized materialistically obsessed "brave new world." With unknown and dangerous consequences that are beginning to profile themselves on the horizon timeline.

 And nothing, neither almost anyone, is even questioning the legitimacy of such a profound intrusion upon the individual mind and freedom of thought.  

 Most paradigm-shifting creative geniuses (great scientists, spiritual giants, social and political visionaries, healers, artists, composers, writers, etc . . .) always projected this type of lonely and unruly inward-focused behavior in their childhood years, and were often bothered and easily distracted by the rigid indoctrinations and environments of most Western and Eastern dogmatic educational systems that, for the most, have shunned and stifled questioning minds.

 In the seventies and eighties, millions of people worldwide took mind control classes such as the Silva mind control course where the trainee is taught to operate at Alpha levels of the mind. As anyone having taken the courses can testify, rudimentary remote viewing becomes easily achieved even at the Alpha level as one gets closer to the Delta level of mind (universal mind) and away from the Beta level of consciousness. At the Alpha level of mind concentration, millions of people experienced remote sensing (viewing) as they drew information from the Theta level of mind who in turn collected it from the Delta level operating outside of the realm of time/space.

 The problem with remote viewing while being in an Alpha state of mind ( as measured by an electroencephalographic apparatus) is that there is still a lot of information that originates from the proximate level of Beta (full conscious awareness) as is the case when one dreams and draws data from the Beta level. This can cause quite a lot of undue parasitic signals (mind noise) coming from the Beta level. The real catalysts to the original research on remote viewing came as a result of experimental data showing the very basic remote viewing efficacy of these courses. The methodology employed in the US and most especially in European countries shows a definite operational bias dictated by these early mind control protocols, even though few would admit it.

The deep Theta level of mind is the closest level to the Delta level of universal consciousness. It is only while operating at this level of mind that one can truly remote view and draw information from the Delta level of the universal mind operating outside of time and space. No matter what some self-proclaimed "RV experts" might assert, the reality is that if one's mind is not located at the interface with the life matrix originating from the universal consciousness and is not passively focusing on that delta level, the type of information received becomes subject to mental noise from the Beta level (full conscious awareness) and unreliable.

 The Theta level is called by behavioral scientists the hypnagogic level because it corresponds to the experience, usually immediately before falling asleep, of a stream of nonlinear highly vivid visual imagery projected to one's self.

 Highly ego-centered individuals often fear operating at deep levels of Theta because the ego (sense of self) is on the frontier of dissolving itself at a slightly deeper level of mind (Delta). They tend to prefer the perceptually most separated level of all: The Beta level of awareness.
   This eventually became a problem within certain military-type of remote viewing organizations because of the highly self-centered type of mind structures it often appeals to that often border on the desire for maximum separateness i.e. paranoia. The mind always influences mind orientations and will ultimately decide at which level it wants to operate from.

 The remote viewing protocols taught by the Academy of Remote Viewing are based on mind sensing training developed by some government agencies.

 Mr. O'Donnell became part of a Western European nation remote viewing program where the emphasis was from the start on trying to research extensively the area of mind situated right at the interface with Delta (deep sleep). It had been experimentally proven that this was the best band of mind operations in order to be able to effectively remote view.

 The initial remote sensing protocols tried to achieve the attainment of such deep levels of mental functioning, and most importantly to sustain it for as long as possible without plunging onto Delta (unconsciousness: deep sleep) or going back onto Alpha or Beta states.

 It was apparent that very specialized protocols would need to be established in order to stabilize the mind at such depths before it gets sucked in into Delta. The mind tends also to operate in a wavelike form going from Alpha to Theta to Delta, back and forth. The goal became to lower the amplitude of such swings in order to remain at will within the deep Theta band (4 to 5 Hz).

 Sophisticated biofeedback testing equipment was used. It consisted mainly of an electroencephalographic apparatus recording brain waves, processing them automatically, and sending an auditory signal when the targeted desirable train of brain waves were elicited within a subject's brain.

 Many advanced meditators (yogis, shamans, mystics etc.) who had learned to operate from such deep levels of mind were extensively studied.

 Experiments on animals were also conducted in order to try to understand why they operated naturally at the Theta level with full activity retained and their eyes opened. It was perceived that this might shed light as to their naturally occurring remote viewing abilities especially among the predator-prey animal complex and the domestic pet variety. The unexplained migrations and homing behavior of certain species might also be related to such a state of mind.
   The ability of animal to remote view was tested. Domestic animals (especially dogs and cats) were studied under laboratory conditions as to their precognitive and spatially remote sensing mind abilities when they concentrated upon their owners' location and/or intent.
   Natural predators were wired up and studied when their favorite prey was either about to be introduced or taken in a sensory-wise isolated chamber to a proximate location. Impressive experimental data was collected that showed that the animal kingdom definitely exhibits a pattern of behavior that seems to strongly suggest very developed natural remote viewing (mental sensing) abilities - when needed - for feeding, survival or protective behavior. Remote viewing activity amongst mammals seemed to strongly correlate with the appearance of very definite brain wave Theta tracing especially in the predator-prey grouping.

 Finally, and most importantly, many protocols were experimentally tried and compared as to their effectiveness at allowing a human subject to rapidly reach levels of deep Theta operations within a narrow band of EEG tracing (4 to 5 cycles per second) for sustained periods of time. Mental sensing (remote viewing) training methods were painstakingly devised and tried out.
   This culminated in the establishment of an effective methodology designed to rapidly shift one's concentration upon the deepest layers of his/her self-awareness (deep Theta). The goal being thenceforth to operate from that mental level in a passive/active manner by first sending actively out an information request and in turn taking on a passive role when one receives from the Delta level (universal mind), as an answer, a formidable steam of compressed instant (packet) nonlinear sensory and informational data (delta to theta). This information needs to be reconstructed automatically by the Alpha and Beta level of mind when an individual emerges out of deep Theta.
This is very much alike what occurs within the worldwide web of communications when information sent out by a central server in a compressed packet-like manner is received in a nonlinear broken down format and is then decoded and reconstructed in order to form a linear time/space coherent whole at the level of each personal computer.

 Research projects were undertaken in order to see whether one could remote view from the Beta state (eyes opened and mind focused on external stimuli as opposed to internal one) or the Alpha state (eyes closed, or eyes opened with mind relaxed and/or daydreaming).

 It was found that the Beta state does not allow for any remote viewing. If an individual perceived that he/she was receiving remote viewing data whilst being fully awake, he had to be at that moment focusing on his thought processes in order to be aware of it and a cursory examination of his/her brain encephalographic tracing would always reveal that the subject had slipped into the Alpha state or very rarely even into Theta. The moment an individual focuses on internal self-reflective thought processes, he/she enters the subconscious (alpha or Theta ) levels of mind operation.

 The other conclusion was that even though one could remote sense (view) from the Alpha state, too much mental noise in the form of preconceived notions (mind-sets) or external interference from the Beta level (outside sensory world) were introduced and made for often inconsistent results.

 It soon became apparent that the only statistically determining factor to remote viewing abilities was not the methodology used but the level of mind achieved through the use of a particular methodology. The training protocols became therefore focused on mind techniques allowing one to rapidly and consistently reach the deep Theta state.

 Mr. O'Donnell does not claim that the methods that he teaches in order to reach a level of deep Theta operation are the only ones available. Since the point when consciousness - as separated thought - has arisen on earth and for eons of time, man has reached and experienced such deep states.
   As a matter of fact, there is a strong perception that ancient man, at the dawn and infancy of civilization, easily attained such deep self-reflective mind levels. This is probably because the external phenomenal world had not yet carried with it the overwhelming burden of myriad of often conflicting signals and stimuli that are now so prevalent especially amongst the very externally beta-oriented cultures that seek self-fulfillment by concentrating highly on outside quests within the material world.
   The time/space restrictions imposed by our "advanced" societies upon the ability to self-reflect is causing all the modern stress that the mind is experiencing.

 Within our world, it is particularly so-called modern man that seems to have trouble at reaching such high levels of thought-perceptions. Cultural factors and the tension of modern-living impede such a natural state of mind. There is little incline and time left to self-reflect. Whatever leisure period is available, is usually used for beta-directed type gratification.

 Young humans (children of less than 7 years of age and especially those of less than 2 years old) and animals of all ages operate mainly at Alpha, Theta and Delta. For them Beta has not hitherto been imposed and learned. The external phenomenal world has yet to take on such a strong concentrated reality. They are less concerned with external stimuli and self-reflect constantly. They learn and evolve through this mental act. They all remote view naturally. They need to. Otherwise, they could not possibly learn and survive. The humans will forget this, for most, when they proudly enter the highly ego-centered world of Beta operation and embrace adulthood.

 Many so-called tribal groups or spiritual orientations have inherited traditions that revere and promote self-reflection, often within a highly symbolized metaphorical background. For them remote viewing is but a natural ability.

 True remote viewing tries to make a child again of adult modern rational man, allowing him/her to experience again this natural state of relearning from the universal pool of knowledge outside of the confines of time/space (knowing).

 Eventually, with specialized training, when the concentration has remained at deep Theta for long enough, one seems to span all the levels of the mind and integrate them in a single cognitive awareness. The remote viewer can then operate from the Theta level in concentration and even open his/her eyes and be aware of both his/her external and internal realities at once.
   With practice, he/she might make a last perceptual jump and realized that his/her external and internal realities are but mirror expressions of each other.

 Nevertheless, within the mind-matter equation: matter, if concentrated too much upon and given undue importance, tilts the balance and becomes the ultimate trickster.

 In the same manner as the Theta waves are the only ones that show up non-specifically and equally throughout the human brain cortex, the deep Theta level is the only state that can unify all perceptual levels of awareness.

 Although all serious remote viewing operations, originating from various countries, became aware that they were collecting information from the mysterious "collective unconscious" of the mind, very few, if any, realized that this Universal Mind was within an individual and not outside of him/her. Their focus of attention in the search for an explanation targeted henceforth "external" and often creative exotic realms.

Effective remote viewing techniques should allow one to experience the reality of the Universal Mind, and not only ponder about it. Such an experience might surprise many, and disturb built-in inherited misconceptions. It is only to the daring ones that the world becomes a stepping stone. The others just vegetate.

 If certain remote viewing systems do not reach for such an understanding, they are but crutches and fall short of allowing one to cross the stepping stone of ignorance.

 The aforementioned statements can only be proven by experiencing. Each human being on his/her own. No written theory nor external mechanical laboratory apparatus can ever bring personal proof of such assertions. Hence the ultimate challenge and paradox...

 Within the former U.S.S.R. extensive mind research was carried out since the 1930's and successful remote viewing protocols established. Nevertheless, because of the built-in ideological bias against anything non material (spiritual) existent within the Communist dogma, large-scale Soviet scientific research tried to uncover, under strict laboratory conditions, the "physical energies" (electromagnetic or other) that correlated with such remote sensing states.

 Eventually, as some correlations were shown, the physical correlations themselves were seen as the explanation to this phenomenon. And a major impasse was reached that tried to duplicate such mind states by manipulating external physical forces.
   This resulted in interference wave patterns being applied, using purely physical means, upon the interface mechanisms of the biological brain of many unfortunate human and animal subjects. This greatly affected and distorted their perception of the external world.
   The prevailing view within the Soviets' industrial-military complex was that these techniques of "mind control" were affecting the mind, when , in reality, they were damaging and interfering with the proper functioning of the interface of the biological brain.
   This research, unfortunately, ultimately took on a decisively sinister character.

 In such a pivotal endeavor as the understanding of the individuations of thought, which means the understanding of life itself, it is ultimately only man that has the capacity to raise himself to lofty heights or to sink to abysmal depths.

 Within the US intelligence establishment and because of a cultural bias, similar approaches were undertaken and the same impasse was encountered.
   Although effective RV protocols were devised, the scientific establishment within this highly Beta-oriented society had perceptual problems with what they considered to be "altered" internally focused states of attention.
   The Theta region was experimentally known to be a better mind level for remote viewing, but the RV research scientists became quite creative at casting away from their peers any perception of their using a deep state of mind operation.

  It is within the realm of possibilities that some US remote viewers were subjected to the external beaming of certain radiations in order to test their effectiveness at improving or not RV and study their general impact.

 The Western European remote sensing approach mostly shun away from electronically - induced mind control attempts. It focused essentially on RV operations originating from deep Theta levels of the mind.

 The remote viewing techniques taught by the Academy of Remote Viewing are unique in that they concentrate upon the easily attainability by any individual of a state where his/her awareness will be focused upon the level of the Universal Mind (undifferentiated knowing). The trainee is taught to locate his/her awareness at the border of Delta (deep Theta) and operate a sort of "mental dance" where his/her attention concentrates upon the data originating from the Universal Mind on (passive-receiving state) and off (active-questioning state), while avoiding to be sucked in by the powerful pole of attraction of the Higher Delta level (sleep and/or somnambulistic unconsciousness).
  Many adjunctive safety techniques and general explanations are given in order to understand the functioning of the nonlinear Delta level and be able to decode the information received in a palatable time/space linear sensory format. Many Delta operations are given and hinted at. Structured questions-and-answer patterns (so-called RV protocols), made to best fit the modus operandi of Delta/Theta interfacing, are also taught.

 Beta, Alpha, and Theta are but the manifest expressions of the creativity of the Delta level.

 Beta, Alpha, and Theta are the levels of the ego. They are the levels of temporality, causality, and physicality.

 The ego can be defined as the ability a life-form has to be able to differentiate between thoughts that it will perceive as being one's own (self-reflective) and thoughts that seem to originate outside of one's realm.

 Delta is the level of non-individualized non-reflective intelligence.

 Beta, Alpha, and Theta are but brain-wave epiphenomenona of states of self-reflective awareness by perceptually individualized intelligences (levels of individuated thought-concentrations). One only travels in awareness within these states.

 The Delta level of thought is characterized by the fact that it can infinitely separate its thoughts in a nonlinear parallel manner. Within these separations, It may choose to operate, for tasks or reasoning purposes, in a causal linear fashion, most often by connecting thoughts laterally.

 An individual travels in awareness from beta towards Delta by focusing his awareness on his self reflective thoughts and deeper subconscious thought processes

 The deeper within Delta one finds oneself, the more concomitant parallel thought processes there are. Up to an All-aware potential Infinity. The ancient Greek letter Delta shaped like an upward pointing triangle symbolizes this reality of the Mind. Delta (alike its ancient cousin the Hebrew Deleth) means a door, an entrance to another realm. The realm of El (the Universal) and Data.

 All so-called deep subconscious thought processes originate from the Delta level. They operate below the level of conscious awareness. This includes the parallel thought operations that allow for the biological and material realities to operate coherently and efficiently. They maintain and project out onto our framework of operation in order to allow our individual creativity to express itself. They are our creative support.

 Delta is therefore the Intelligence that directs the operations of the material and biological phenomenal world.

 The ego travels towards dissolution (Delta) when it reflects upon thoughts originating from deep subconscious processes. By corollary, the ego expresses itself more vibrantly and forcefully when it focuses its concentration upon the level of the highly separated manifestations of the sensory external world (Beta).

 The battle between thought-separation (ego) and thought-Oneness (Universal) is the only real conflict there really was, is and will ever be. All antagonistic expressions, struggles, and hostilities amongst life-forms are but manifest epiphenomenona of this ever-present penultimate challenge.

 The built-in opposition between the only two creative poles of thought: Beta (individualistic plurality), and Delta (sense of Oneness) is as the root of what one will perceive as the expressions of evil or bad (Beta Against Delta).

 Delta (the Universal Mind) and Beta (ego) always interact creatively. The ego is bound within frameworks of creative intelligence imposed by the Delta level. Delta, in turn, operates the creative steps within these same frameworks according to the desires of the ego.

 The only two creative poles within Creation are the Beta level (conscious thought of man) and the Delta level (Collective Unconscious or Universal Mind).

 Although the Beta level (conscious mind) would like to think that it rules over and is more powerful than the Delta level (deep subconscious mind), the reverse is true. And the deep sub-conscious (Delta) rules over and is infinitely more powerful and "intelligent" than the conscious level of thought (Beta).

 It is only with the cooperation of the Delta level that the Beta-conscious thought (ego) might perceive that it controls sub-conscious (Delta) thought processes including biological ones.

 The cardinal rules that bring about that cooperation from the deep sub-conscious mind (Delta) are not necessarily in concordance with the desires and mental structures of the conscious mind (Beta). If the Delta level disagrees with the desires and/or intentions expressed by the Beta level of Its expressions, that necessary collaboration will not manifest itself.

 This applies to all human endeavors implying subconscious processes and input. This was and is especially the case for Remote Viewing that originates information solely from that deep unconscious level. Hence the failures that most military or intelligence-type organizations suddenly developed when they tried to collect Remote Viewing data to be ultimately used for potentially destructive and aggressive purposes, even though they had great success with other innocuous time/space targets.

 The ultimate arbitrator and safeguard to processes such as Remote Data Sensing (RV) is the Universal Mind Itself (Delta). No-thing nor any-body will ever supersede It.

 The level of deep Delta (Universal) is a level of pure information (no imagery whatsoever). Nothing else. We, as individuated expressions of it, only perceive and interpret this pure information using the realm of sensory reality (visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile etc..).

 The level of the Universal and its individualizations (mankind and nature) form together the Uni-verse Itself. A vast mosaic of pure information disguised as reality. Either experienced as a pleasant one or an unpleasant one. Depending on our common choices.

 There are three levels of operations within the Delta level. However, Mr. O'Donnell will not reveal here their significance.
   Only rare individuals ever understand them. Remote viewing at a very deep Theta level can be a bridge to such an understanding since one is juxtaposing his/her awareness to the Delta level of mind. It is only within the laboratory of the mind that one can understand the mind. This is the ultimate quest.

 The recalled experience of the Delta level is generally a very humbling one.

 The middle Delta level operates very much alike a multitasking digital computer. Processing, storing, and doing a quasi-infinite amount of tasks at once. Its role is to create coherency by interconnecting realities out of potential chaos.

 The upper Delta, Theta, Alpha, and Beta levels operate mainly in a linear analog-like fashion where cause-and-effect relationships are paramount and where the perception of space and time exists.

 The transducing apparatus (Input/Output interface) decoding and making "sense" out of the encoded non-linear pure information received from the middle Delta level is located at upper Delta and is perceived by us to exist within our brain. This transducing level pertains to the world of our senses that gives reality to our experience and to our perception of a material world "out there."

 The level of Beta (mankind) has up-to-now never really understood the way by which middle Delta operates.

 Middle Delta does not use any imagery whatsoever. Only vibrational light, swirling within different levels of intensity, remains. The Light contains, stores, and processes information.

 Mankind seems always to favor and feels more comfortable using its linear thinking processes and especially perceptual space/time linear senses (images, symbols, myths, and metaphors) in order to try to relate to and remotely grasp its original Everlasting Source. This is because that is the way by which mankind operates. Hence the distortions and their consequences.

 In the digital-analog equation of Mind, the analog part (mankind) never comprehended, nor yet comprehends the digital part (its Creator). It could only, up-to-now on very rare occasions, experience it. And the digital part gives life, sustains it, and gets surprises from its very restricted thought processes operating within the perceptual separations of mankind.

 This dialog of deaf is, most probably, about to stop. In one way or another.

 The level of Delta is a level of knowing. Whilst being at deep Theta, one can draw from the proximate level of Delta.

 The level of Beta is a level of knowledge where the focus of attention is upon the external material reality and a slow intellectual type of learning is attempted.

 The major evolutionary jumps, inspirational writings, creative endeavors, scientific discoveries and inventions of all times always originate from the level of knowing and not of knowledge.

 Human and animal instinctive knowledge, and "sixth sense" emanate from the level of knowing.

 The search for an unification factor outside of one's self, within linear space/time, is a perceptual dead-end that, at one point, mankind will need to realize.
   The unification point is not outside of one's self, within space or out-of-space, masters, gurus, but within oneself.

 Real knowledge comes from within. One is only relearning what One already knows.

 The ultimate teacher to all the ripples (individuations of Mind: The individuals ) of the ocean of thought-energy (Universal Mind) is the ocean Itself, and not the ripples.

 Expressing it in a metaphorical way: Alike icebergs afloat on the ocean, life-forms, as separate creative thought processes, are but time/space expressions of the infinite waters of the ocean. Ultimately, they each melt down within the waters and return to the ocean. They are all water anyway, but as ice they do no realize it. They can perceive their individuality expressed as forms through the illusionary media of air. They love to cling solidly to that perception. For the most part, they often refuse to accept that they, as water, are all interconnected. That in reality, no iceberg is really taller or smaller than another, for they all come from the same, and they all go back to the same. That their power, or ego, is all illusory, and temporary.

 Ultimately, there is only One Mind. One Intelligence. Expressing and experiencing Itself through here and there. Nothing else. Not two. Nor more. Mind is Mind; whether human, animal, vegetable, material, or unattached.

 The "kingdom" is "within" not "without". All that remains, is to tell the king that he is, in his restricted state, as humankind, walking around without any clothes on. Because, he does not seem to realize it yet.

 Such an understanding finally explains why the "King" as the Universal Mind is within each one of us, and why we are all, as space/time manifestations of It (the "Kingdom"), within It. One reflects the other.

 The direction of thought-concentration has to be reversed from one increasingly targeting external realities and stimuli to one flowing back from Beta to Alpha, to Theta, and back to Delta.

 As mankind has thoroughly experienced Beta and adulthood, it is time to experience the inner child again, to reconnect to knowing beyond external time and space.
   It is basically time for one's self to reconnect to Oneself.
   It is basically time to stop being a sheep within the "flock" and to start leading
   one's own destiny and understanding.
   It is high time to take back control and responsibility. . .

 Your mind (Spirit) is nor bound by and into a "material" body. It is only bound by and connected to the physical senses that make you aware of a physical reality.

 Let go of these senses, by allowing yourself not to concentrate upon them (i.e. physical reality and biology), and you will then allow yourself to unbound your self and expand Everywhere and Everywhen.

 You create everything, including your restrictions. Argue for your limitations, and/or believe someone else's opinion about them, and they surely become yours.

 The only real truth is the one that you find within yourself. All others are but misconceptions intentionally placed on your way in order to sharpen the edges of your challenge and quest.

In Richard Bach's international bestseller "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" (1970. Reprint. New York: Avon, 1973) we find the seagull Jonathan who always wants to fly higher and better. The Elder tries to teach him (p. 81) that in order to be everywhere and everywhen at once he first needs to understand the mechanisms of flying. If these mechanisms are not fully understood and integrated, real flying is impossible.


As Chiang (the Elder) gently explains (pp. 79-84):

        "You will begin to touch heaven, Jonathan, in the moment that
    you touch perfect speed. And that isn't flying a thousand miles
    an hour, or a million, or flying at the speed of light. Because any
    number is a limit, and perfection doesn't have limits. Perfect
    speed, my son, is being there."
        "You can go to any place and to any time that you wish to go,"
    the elder said. "I have gone everywhere and everywhen I can
    think of." He looked across the sea. "It's strange. The gulls who
    scorn perfection for the sake of travel go nowhere, slowly.
    Those who put aside travel for the sake of perfection go
    anywhere, instantly. Remember, Jonathan, heaven isn't a place
    or a time, because place and time are so meaningless.
    Heaven is . . . "
        "To fly as fast as thought, to anywhere that is," he said, "you
    must begin by knowing that you have already arrived . . ."
        The trick, according to Chiang, was for Jonathan to stop
    seeing himself as trapped inside a limited body that had a
    forty-two-inch wingspan and performance that could be plotted on
    a chart. The trick was to know that his true nature lived, as
    perfect as an unwritten number, everywhere at once across space
    and time. . . .
        Then one day Jonathan, standing on the shore, closing his eyes,
    all in a flash knew what Chiang had been telling him.
    "Why, that's true, I am a perfect, unlimited gull! . . .
    Jonathan opened his eyes. He stood alone with the Elder on a
    totally different seashore-trees down to the water's edge, twin
    yellow suns turning overhead. . . . "IT WORKS!"
    "Well of course it works, Jon," said Chiang. "it always works,
    when you know what you are doing. Now about your control . . ."
   
     "We can start working with time if you wish," Chiang said, "till
    you can fly the past and the future. And then you will be ready to
    begin the most difficult, the most powerful, the most fun of all.
    You will be ready to begin to fly up and know the meaning of
    kindness and of love."

    But then the day came that Chiang vanished. He had been
    talking quietly with them all, exhorting them never to stop their
    learning and their practicing and their striving to understand
    more of the perfect invisible principle of all life. Then, as he
    spoke, his feathers went brighter and brighter and at last turned
    so brilliant that no gull could look upon him.
    "Jonathan," he said, and these were the last words that he
     spoke, "keep working on love."
    When they could see again, Chiang was gone.

    Eventually, Jonathan goes back to the ground of his old Flock
    to teach other gulls that (pp. 103-104):
     "Each of us is in truth an idea of the Great Gull, an unlimited
    idea of freedom . . . " "Everything that limits us we have to put
    aside."
    "Your whole body, from wingtip to wingtip is nothing more
    than thought itself, in a form that you can see. Break the
    chains of your thought, and you break the chains of your
    body, too. . . "

This is very fascinating. What is your opinion?
The real "you" is awarness of vibration? The space between thoughts? Is that the spirit? The spirit use this energy to manifest itself?
From: http://www.metta.org.uk/Wds/wds4.htm


The first principle of the conscious energy field is that it's everywhere and that it manifests itself in everything. There is a realm of pure spirit that exists beyond the field - but in terms of the reality that surrounds us and that gave rise to us, the conscious energy field is ubiquitous.

The second quality of the field is that it's holographic. We've already discussed this in a previous session. The holographic nature of the field simply means that the all of it is contained in every part of it.

Thirdly - the field is comprised of attention and intention. But attention and intention can exists on different planes. There are many different qualities of attention and intention. If your attention is always qualitatively the same, you will always summon the same quality of data from the field. And if you always summon the same quality of data, you will probably come to believe that this is the only data that's possible. You'll assume that this is the only data that exists.

Suppose you were at a party and you were having a casual conversation with a friend. The two of you are listening to each other and having a dialogue - and you don't really hear what's going on in the rest of the room. It's just a background hum. But then you become aware that somebody across the room has spoken your name. You faintly hear someone saying, "Oh, she's done this," " or He's done that." Immediately your full attention will go to the conversation. Instead of the person who's standing right next to you, you'll be preoccupied with the conversation across the room. And the background hum will be gone too, because you're so intent on summoning that highly selective bit of data into your consciousness. So the quality of our attention, and our selective awareness, controls what we summon forth from the field of infinite possibilities.

Every day we form silent agreements with the people around us about what's possible and what isn't - and out of these agreements we create our so-called reality. But it's a reality with certain well-defined limits, because our attention and intention also have well-defined limits. For example, our attention is habitually directed toward material things because we experience ourselves as material bodies. And fear comes from
this, because we think this body is who we are, and we know that one day the body is not going to be there anymore. Fear anchors and attaches us to the material plane, and we don't want to leave it. But by changing the quality of your attention, you can experience other planes of awareness. You can summon a different kind of data from the conscious energy field. This is very important for mastering Synchro Destiny - and it's also the key to banishing fear.

The fourth point - the conscious energy field manifests in different vibrations. All these vibrations can occupy the same location in space and time, yet none of them distorts or interferes with the others. The best way to develop your awareness of this is to sense the ongoing vibration in your own body. When you look at a beautiful painting, you see the object and you also feel it in your body at the same time. Make yourself aware of this. When you want to know about a person or something that's happening in your life, bring your attention to the vibrations in your own body. See how your body is responding.

There's a very simple technique that can help you tune yourself to your body's internal vibrations. You can try it right now, or you can wait until you have access to a quiet space and a few minutes of free time. To begin, close your eyes and become aware of every sound that you can possibly hear. Just tune into the sounds - feel them vibrating in your ears, even if the vibration is very slight. See if you can tune into the sounds of the street outside, or of an aeroplane passing overhead, or of someone walking across the floor in the apartment above you. Of course, these sounds are really vibrations. They're vibrations in your own body that are caused by events in the physical world.

Then, tune into the other vibrations in your body. The rhythm of your breathing. The beating of your heart. Tune into each sensation. Bring your whole awareness inside your body. This is so important because you - the real you - is awareness of vibration. You are where your awareness is, and awareness is an infinite and knowing connection with the conscious energy field.

As you become more comfortable with awareness of internal vibration, you can start to move your awareness in different places in space and also in different places in time. This is what clairvoyance really is -- just the ability to direct your attention and your awareness wherever you choose.

Right now, you could close your eyes and put your attention on the most beautiful place you've ever visited, or even on the school where you went to kindergarten or the day you first learned to ride a bicycle. There's nothing supernatural about this - it's simply a matter of attention, awareness, and intention to experience a particular setting in space and time. Because you are where your awareness is.

If your awareness is tuned into the sensations of your body, you can always use this as a direct connection with the conscious energy field. If you want to know the truth about a person or a particular situation, observe what your body's response is. An intuitive person is just someone who's highly tuned into the finest level of sensations in their own physical being.

The fifth quality of the field is that the field expresses itself through opposites. The conscious energy field creates experience through opposing energies - or at least that's our perception of it, because at the level of the field these oppositions are able to completely coexist. In the conscious energy field, a coin can be heads and tails at the same time. The distinction between a saint and a sinner doesn't exist. Both are part of the same energy field -- so at the deepest level everyone is both a saint and a sinner.

All of us are divine and diabolical at the same time. Sacred and profane at the same instant. And it's only because we contain these oppositions that our experience of life has any meaning. All experience is by contrast. You can't have hot without cold. You can't have pleasure without pain. You can't have up without down. Opposing energies create experience. Otherwise there's pure bliss, which is fine, too - pure bliss is the source of creation. But pure bliss is not an experience, as we understand it in our daily lives. In order to have experience, there has to be contrast.

Sixth, the conscious energy field is sexual - not in the narrow sense of the word, but in the sense that sexual energy is the creative energy of the universe. In most life forms that energy expresses itself only through biological creativity - through the reproduction and evolution of the species. But in human beings that creative energy has much wider range. Great poetry is derived from sexual energy in the widest sense of the term. Even the Sistine Chapel is sexual energy. Any time you feel inspired, any time you feel excited, any time you feel passionate, any time you feel enthusiastic - that's an experience of sexual energy.

There is a category of yoga that is known as tantra yoga - this is the area of knowledge that deals with getting in touch with true sexual experience. But one of the premises of tantra is that sexual energy is the creative energy of the universe --- and that any form of inspiration, passion, excitement, enthusiasm is essentially derived from this source. According to tantric doctrine, if you combine that kind of ecstatic experience with intention, you can use the power of that experience in every area of your life.

There are many more aspects of the field that we could talk about. But the seventh and final quality I want to discuss right now is the fact that field is constantly transforming and evolving - just as we as human beings are also transforming and evolving. We're all very interested now in how that evolution takes place, so we're paying extra attention to it. But even if we weren't, everything is evolving from where it is to the next level. There's no regression. It's continuously going higher. You can think of it as if we're all going up the Empire State Building and we're all in different elevators - some are starting from the basement and some are already on the 48th floor, but everyone is moving in a shared direction. So even if no one does anything, even if no one pays any attention at all, the evolutionary process is still happening.

Despite the many ways in which we try to improve ourselves materially and spiritually, the most important thing we can do to hasten our evolution is let go of the known - in other words, to relinquish the past. Otherwise we're not going to open ourselves into the unknown. The more we are ready to open ourselves to the unknown, the more likely we are to accelerate our process of evolution. And so attachment to material things is what really interferes with our on-going transformation.

Transformation is happening all the time, and there are many ways of demonstrating this. For example, you could choose something that you consider very important in your life right at this moment. Review its entry point - the time and the place when it started. Then project forward to the time when it will be absent. Accept and celebrate that transformation.

This constant transformation and evolution is occurring in every individual human consciousness just as it takes place in the larger field. Our consciousness - our souls - are always in motion, even during the ordinary activities of the day.

Sleeping, for instance, is a less evolved state of consciousness than dreaming...

Dreaming is a less evolved state than waking, although there is a special category of dreaming called lucid dreaming, which we'll discuss in a moment. But the transformation from ordinary dreaming to waking is a step toward a more evolved consciousness...

Beyond waking, there is a level of awareness in which you gain a glimpse of the silent observer that transcends your individual identity - the witness that was there before you were born and that will be there after you die.

A still higher state of consciousness is awareness of this observer even in dreams and sleep. This is lucid dreaming, in which the dreamer's participation in the dream is observed by a conscious awareness.

When this same slightly removed awareness is cultivated in waking life, consciousness has evolved to what I call the cosmic level. You are in the world but not of it...

A still higher level of transformation is God consciousness. You can see and feel the life throb of the spirit in every object of perception. You realise that everything you see and hear and touch is animated by the full power and wisdom of the universe. This is the level of consciousness that generates synchronicity. It's very important to recognise and cultivate it within yourself.

And the last state is unity consciousness. Where the spirit within you not only perceives but merges with the larger spirit - become one with it. This is where there's instant manifestation of thought into matter. In unity consciousness, there's spontaneous fulfilment of every desire.

So those are the seven qualities of the conscious energy field that I want to emphasise right now.

The field is everywhere and in everything. It's omnipresent.

The field is holographic,

The field is made up of attention and intention.

The field manifests in different vibrations.

The field expresses itself through opposites.

The field is sexual in the sense that all creativity and inspiration is sexual.

And finally, the field is constantly evolving and transforming, just as the consciousness of every human being is evolving and transforming.

To be aware because if we are not then that defines real death!?

Ok..Thanks Frank

Life is sure amazing

Hi! Will we automatically remember who we are, this life and everything in it when we "die" and pass over to another dimension? I don´t remember (wrong word if there is no time of course) or recognize any information from other dimensions or lifes. Maybe we find it if we look inside?

Thanks   :wink:

Hi Frank! Yes it would be interesting to talk later.

Well chart formations like hs and others can work but the hard thing is to know where to have a stop. I know people who have 80-90% profitable trades. Even if they just make 10% losing trades it can cost them to much if they had the stop far away. Some use a good money management method and are constantly profitable but with only 40% profitable trades. But as far as i see right now it seems possible to forecast. Of course it is always about probabilities but an earlier move is related geometrically to a later one. This geometry seems to show up over and over again. Seems like Gann did not like to trade to much. Might be better with just a few forecasts and let the market do it´s job. Some even use astrology for this but i don´t know exactly how it works. Here´s some phi and other geometry related astro site though www.solargeometry.com

But you are right. The brokers are the ones who steal peoples money. Most people lose money in the markets. I lost alot earlier but have studied this for over a year now and hope to make it.
Stock markets and competition for money is not a good thing of course. It brings the worst things from humanity. Economic growth is just a fraud today. The chip (666 in the bible) is already out there. The company is Verichip and others to. Imagine the control over people!!! Today control is debt and interest. You might have read David Ickes books? They will not succeed because the 911 truth movement is to great out there. It´s all related and ment to steal peoples liberty.  Well now i am far away from thinking :0)

Just some thoughts :0)

Hi Frank! What do you mean by communication? Self communication?

If everyone knew how to forecast the market the same way then no one could :0)

But it should always be possible to forecast if we dig a little bit deeper than the others. It´s just quantification of thoughts i guess. Yes Gann knew alot about this. The saying; "think outside the box" is interesting because this kind of geometry is often visible. The cube i mean. Here´s something i found about the box. I don´t know how true it is. http://www.crystalinks.com/outofbox.html

Hi people! Is a thought electrochemical activity between neurons? But if we have free will to think what we want then we should be able to decide this process that should start on even a sub atomic level. How can this be done from inside the brain if that control itself is a thinking process? It could mean the brain is a tool for something else?

If so, what is a thought? I have studied the mathematics of stocks. It´s clear that people think in some special geometric patterns that repeats. It´s very strange. The buyers and sellers constantly search for reasons for pushing the buy/sell button and totally all these thoughts create geometric structures. Perhaps these structures are visible in other dimensions!?

Quote from: FrankHi:

Generally, what people choose to eat is obviously their business but I would invite people to please look at the consequences of their choices in relation to the animal side of things. If you can help to ease just a little of their suffering by choosing free-range over battery as regards eggs, for example. Then, collectively, it makes a LOT of difference.

Animals are life forms just like we are and they deserve to be treated with respect. Even if you choose to eat them, okay, I don't agree with that, but please try to ensure that the animals you choose to eat have not suffered in the horrendous way they do in these factory farms.

Factory farms are capitalism gone crazy.

I am vegetarian, I cannot say Vegan as I eat a little goats cheese and eggs now and again. But the goats cheese I buy I know the farmer's wife who makes it. I sit amongst the field of the goats (I love their smell) and say hello to them. I know the chickens that laid the eggs. They are running around my feet wanting attention (chickens are very demanding of attention when they get to know you).

I realise not everyone can be this connected with the animal produce they consume. But at least please spare a thought, that is all I would ask.  

Yours,
Frank



Absolutely Frank!  I have been eating meat earlier and it really does not taste anything and if it does it is not a good taste. There must be some spices on it and then instead we could put that spice on some other food. But also it´s the chewing resistance. Some kind of psychologic addiction because i doubt a meat freak would love a blendered steak. Very strange.

I just read about Breatherianism. People who say they live on light and don´t need food. Some say we are this light. Have you experience of this light? I read somewhere that humans used to be like this way back in history. True or not

Hi! I think you are on the right way. I have been confused to and i have just had one "obe" so far. I think Franks Faq about Phasing can help you to. Take a look at Faq

Sometimes a schock is necessary to change the thinking pattern. Perhaps if someone could make him aware of the larger reality it would change his thinking.
