One way to increase your skill set is to work with mind projection. Some people tell me “I’m not interested in that” but I think it is an important skill to learn. It will even make you a better healer. Mind projection goes by several names such at Remote Viewing (RV), Astral Travel or Out of Body Experience (OBE). And while there are differences in the techniques people use to achieve these states on consciousness, they are very closely related; bother and sister, practically twins. But that isn’t apparent until you move past the introductory level. The main difference between RV and Astral Travel is the location of your center of awareness.

The classes that teach these techniques are “Mind Projection: Astral Travel, Remote Viewing, Clairvoyance”, “Black Box: Navigation” and “Eyes Wide Shut”. I recommend Eyes Wide Shut before starting Black Box Navigation. I think the step from Mind Projection to Eyes Wide Shut is smaller than the step to full blown Navigation. Baby steps are important. Attempting large leaps forward in techniques can cause setbacks. Shoot for small positive steps. Feel it out.

A few basic steps that one needs to learn to gather data from a remote location are:

  • Skill at meditation and remaining in non-thought.
  • Movement of energy.
  • Finding a music track that works for you.
  • Learning to acquire the data that comes back from your energy.
  • Remove expectations.

I will leave the skill at meditation and non-thought up to you to figure out.

I just recently wrote about energy movements and a technique call I have been calling blowing bubbles. Learn to focus your energy. Use your hands, eyes (eye sockets, if the eyes are shut), and/or your consciousness.

It took me a long time to realize the importance of using the proper music. You should use different music when you have different intentions for your meditation session. Even though, the main goal of the music is “chewing gum for you mind”, it also invokes a feeling or frequency inside of you. {Quote from Matt S.} I strongly suspect that the music works extremely well for one person to conduct, for example, a healing session, may not work so well for another person. You need to find what works for you. This may well have some relationship to the things that profoundly affected you in a past life such music from a certain culture.

Black Box Navigation actually comes with a very power meditation track that I don’t actually use. I have been saving it until I actually gain more skill to Navigate.

Some sounds that I have found that work for me are thunderstorms and whales. I took the Dan Gibson album “Solitudes: Thunderstorm in the Wilderness” (1995), shortened it and added a few faint whale sounds in the background in a few places. This track has worked really well for me. I also have an affinity for didgeridoos but I haven’t found the right music yet. I suspect that wolf recordings may also work well for me.

While working on the steps above, also start working to acquire data that comes back from your energy. People who are skillful at healing or remote healing use this data to help figure out what is exactly wrong with a person or an animal before they use their energy to start changing things.

Assimilation also teaches this skill. See my previous blog about assimilation.

Reading about other people’s theories or experiences can set expectations which will limit the experience or cause failure. I see this sometimes from people who have read books like Robert Bruce’s Astral Dynamics. I think books with step by step techniques and with stories of his experiences can bleed over into your consciousness and block your success.

Everyone who interprets sixth sense data back into their brain will interpret things in a slightly different way. For example, when medium John Edward sees a white rose, it has a very specific meaning for him. And it means the same thing to him every time. But it may not have the same meaning for you.

Under that symbol, is a feeling or frequency; raw data. By bypassing visual or other data in the format of the five senses, and moving into the world of the underlying data, you will greatly increase you success rate. Interpretation is the downfall of most people. Or the fact that the governor completely covers up the data, so it seems like you aren’t getting data, when you actually are.

It’s time we start to acknowledge that the old school way of solving problems is not enough. Information needs to be shared so we can come up with and acknowledge new ideas. Some of the new ideas that civilization needs to adopt already exist but they have not spread. The seeds are planted, it is up to humanity to see what sort of crop is cultivated and grows. Today I will focus on medicine and energy production.

Medicine:

Modern medicine is certainly ripe for change. A treatment for Alzheimer’s that should be explored is Aluminum Abstinence Therapy. This idea is being pushed by a doctor or a medical researcher but from a manager at a residential care facility for the elderly.

A professor at Washington State University has presented a new way to look at chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), fibromyalgia (FM) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Gulf War syndrome that also includes a treatment protocol. Initial results from trying the treatment protocol seem promising.

And then there is cancer. Is cancer the disease or is cancer the symptom of the actual cause? I don’t know, but it is certainly something to ponder.

Energy:

I’m not I know what is our world wide energy policy. I suspect the United States intends to burn every single barrel of oil that can be extracted from the Earth, whether it gets extracted now or 100 years from now. Never mind that burning ALL THE OIL may cause significant changes to the world wide climate. See AutoblogGreen.

…at a private lunch, GM chairman Maximum Bob Lutz said global warming is a “total crock of shit.” Bob adds “I’m a skeptic, not a denier. Having said that, my opinion doesn’t matter.”

Countries like Holland are much more invested in the problem of climate change.

January 28, 2008 · Architects in Holland are showing the rest of the world a way of turning adversity into opportunity.

The inevitable rise in sea level that comes with climate change is going to make it increasingly difficult to control flooding in low-lying Holland. But instead of cursing their fate, architects are designing a new Holland that will float on water, and the Dutch government seems willing to try out the scheme. Holland has made other countries begin to question, too. Who says you have to live on dry land?

Some data out there is starting to suggest that we have already reached a point of world wide peak oil production. And demand will continue to grow. Growth in countries like China and India ensure that demand will continue to increase. When the price of oil peaked a few weeks ago, the price per barrel had increased 500% in the last six years. Good for Exxon Mobile stock holders but will eventually be a drag on economies around the world. I suspect that eventually the oil will run out. The real question may be when does world wide oil production begin to decline. And what effects will that have on economies and society? And will we be ready to deal with the consequences?

Theoretical physicists have been searching for the elusive theory of everything for most of a century. There are between 5 and 7 theories out there, but the mainstream pretty much only focuses on one, superstring theory. One of these theories is even one from a surfer. My favorite is from Xavier Borg and available for perusing at the web site run by his non-profit research group. A potential side effect of this theory being true is that it may lead to an energy source that does not damage the enviroment.

This is a class I have taught several times. I thought I should write it down since I am getting tired of teaching it. This class is not for the beginning student. It is for someone with several years of study who hasn’t yet been able to achieve the techniques in the advanced classes.

I adapted the idea of bubbles from the class “Echoes of Consciousness” but I use the term in a different context. Paraphrasing, in Echoes, bubbles are used to describe the different lenses through which people see the world. These ideas started to coalesce after studying my own experiences with orbs and studying the class “Mind Projection“.

In this class, I am going to use the word bubbles in a different way. When we focus on something, we pour energy out of ourselves into the object of our focus. When we do this consistently and with enough energy it creates a bubble, a bubble of energy. Our jobs, our relationships, our hobbies, our spiritual practices are all bubbles of energy with more or less energy depending on how much energy we pour into them, and how skillful we are at focusing that energy. Of course, we must have energy to pour out. This energy comes from a proper meditation.

The main tools we use to direct our focus is our eyes, our hands and our thoughts. When all of these components work together, a bubble on energy begins to build. With repetition, enough energy and application of non-thought, this bubble of energy is becomes a bubble of consciousness. Watching television doesn’t focus energy. It is too passive. There is no engagement, no focus. A brain surgeon performing brain surgery focuses energy. His or her thoughts, hands and eyes are all engaged in the product of his work.

Non-thought doesn’t mean no thoughts. It means not thinking in words. Most people who live in the Western world think thought that consist of words. In many Eastern cultures, it is more common to think in images instead of words. A higher rung on the ladder of conscious thought.

The next rung up is to move to thinking with emotions. Love, anger, hate, fear… English unfortunately does not always have enough words to express to subtle details of the range of emotion without using a metaphor or description. Ancient Greek had more words to express a broader range of the kinds of love that exist. And this is still not enough words enough to express the full range of love.

Moving up a rung is thinking as energy. Using the mind instead of the brain. Thoughts become frequencies. The speed of though increases metaphorically from the speed of sound to the speed of light. The mind becomes dimensional. Consciousness expands. Thoughts become fluid. The barriers science assigns to this dimension no longer exist. Access to knowledge becomes virtually unlimited.

Energy movements are an important part of any spiritual routine. Energy movements have two general flavors, internal and external. Both are important. The technique for an internal energy movement called prana pull-ups is described on the supplement to the class “High Guard“. Internal movements are good because a person usually starts to get sensory feedback through their body after practicing for a while. External energy movements are described in the Eric Robison book “Bending God: A Memoir” (2007).

So, assuming you are a spiritual person that consistently meditates and practices energy movements, you create bubbles on conscious energy on the things you focus on. These bubbles get stronger, bigger, and more vibrant. If you focus on your relationship with a person, that relationships will grow and thrive. If you focus on your job, your job will grow and thrive. When you are focusing on your chakras during meditation, the energy bubble is growing there as well. Things that don’t get focus or energy in our lives will wither and fade until the bubble eventually bursts. That’s why we should have 3 or 4 or 5 things in our lives that we focus on instead of 100 small, weak, ready to burst bubbles.

The Technique

I designed this technique to be a bridge from beginning techniques of meditation and energy movements to more advanced techniques like “Black Box: Navigation” and “Eyes Wide Shut“.

I usually practice this technique sitting in coffee shops. When I am not on schedule, just relaxing, but I can’t actually meditate. First relax and calm your mind until you are working from non-thought. Then start using your hands, and eyes and thoughts to create snow balls of energy. Move your hands just like packing snow into a snowball. First imagine and then feel the energy accumulating in the space between your hands. We all have energy fields that extend up to 32 feet outside of our bodies. Focus on that energy and have the intention that it concentrates and intensifies inside your hands.

After a few practice sessions, when you can start to feel feedback in your hands from the ball of energy, stop using your hands. Just use your eyes and your consciousness to focus the energy. The next step is to start moving that energy ball. First let it bounce on the table in front of you, like a rubber ball. Then let make the ball of energy bounce all the way to the ceiling. After more practice, let the ball zoom around the room like a pinball bouncing off anything and everything.

After mastering the pin ball technique, let the ball move half-way into objects before it bounces. Start to examine your consciousness for the information feedback from the ball as it enters objects and people. Then bounce into walls and ceilings. Feel what is on the other side. Try creating a second ball.

People don’t usually notice these balls of energy. But once I was practicing this technique in a long narrow coffee shop outside of Chicago, and my energy ball bounced right through a woman buying a cup of coffee. She was at the counter about 80 feet away from me and she flinched, turned and looked right into my eyes. Somehow she felt my energy and knew it was me even though there were about 20 other people around me. Then she grabbed her coffee and ran out the front door. “Too bad,” I thought because I wanted to talk to her.

I read a book about two years ago by a journalist that took a year of his life and toured the country to research expanding consciousness and compare different spiritual schools. I don’t’ remember the title of the book. In one of the first chapters he took a drawing class where the book “Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain” was used. I think the journalist went to learn directly from the author of the drawing book. One concept from the book he talked about was “negative space”. For example, draw a chair but drawing what is not there instead of what is there.

After reading about negative space, I went to Las Vegas for work. It was race week so all of the less expensive hotels were full and my colleague and I had to stay downtown on the strip.

One night we had dinner at Paris, Las Vegas. Earlier we had viewed some impressionist art on display. While waiting for dinner to arrive, my friend was enjoying a glass of wine and soaking up the atmosphere. We weren’t talking, just relaxing and observing. The place was decorated in a very impressionistic style of color and lighting, very soft and warm, and a little blurry.

As I focused on the colors and vastness of the indoor restaurants and shopping areas, my consciousness began to shift. I thought of negative space. I focused on the space between my eyes and the objects I was observing. The air began to get thick. It took on a weight, a feeling of its own… a feeling of space, a frequency. Time began to pass differently… to slow. When my friend finally talked, it felt like each sentence took minutes for him to utter aloud.

I think the mix of people, impressionism, space, negative space, and soft lighting caused me to shift to state of mind called the In-Between. I don’t know why this state is called the In-Between. Perhaps because you are in between being human and being connected to God. I have never found any other spiritual teachers that talk about this state of mind. I only know about it because of the class “The In-Between”. Eventually the meal arrived and eating caused me to ground back down. But this was one of the first times I began to delve into the spiritual meaning of frequency.

The In-Between

It was also on this trip that I began to appreciate impressionism for the first time. I realized that the Gaia mind was using the artists to partially convey on canvas what the world looked like from an In-Between state.

When big corporations use money, political influence and the patent system to stifle innovation, new business models are required to move society into a more positive direction.  I recommend watching the movie “Who Killed the Electric Car” (2006).  You can read a summary on Wikipedia.

Malcolm Bricklin has one such idea.  See “Detroit 2008: AutoblogGreen Q&A: Malcolm Bricklin talks about building a PHEV supply base”.

Malcolm Bricklin: Actually, we are using the vehicle only as a way to sign up the dealers. But to truth of the matter is what we are really doing is trying to set up the infrastructure for electric vehicles and electric hybrid plug-ins. What we are doing is we are designing a vehicle as you can see right over there, which is going to be the size of a Mercedes S about the width of a Lamborghini that will get 100 miles to the gallon and sell for 40 grand. That, we think, will dispel everybody’s thoughts that you can’t build a big car and use electricity and get great gas miles and still sell at a decent price.

So that was our purpose, but the real purpose is to be able go to the dealers and say look; Here is what we have to sell to begin with and we are going to give a new product every year on that platform. But more important than that, we are going to do two things that we believe the industry needs or there is not going to be an industry. That is outside of the Big Three, if you are going to build electric or electric hybrid, you have got to find a way to distribute it and you have got to find a way to bring the component prices down. In order to bring the component prices down, if you are the Big Three you subsidize it. But if you are a little guy you can’t subsidize it, which means that a lot of cars are going to come in to market for $100,000 and although they may be a nice value at $100,000 there is not a big market for $100,000 cars. We think the market is under $50,000, under $40,000 and of course if we get down to $30,000 then we really think that the market is going to open up.
