Transcending Thought

Do you have what might be perceived as strange, weird, extraordinary or indescribable experiences that didn't seem `of this world'?

Do you experience states of mind `above and beyond' what may be considered a normal (rational or emotional) thinking state?

Have you found that, over time, such experiences have changed or effected how you live or your perspective on life?

Whether you've had two, twenty or even more such experiences (some people might call them religious experiences, mystic experience, spiritual experiences or `transcendent experiences'), then you are by no means alone. This research project aims to collect and examine accounts of such experiences to help our understanding of them. I am particularly interested in how multiple experiences over a period of many years might be affecting the way we think. Do transcendent experiences, for example, make us more open and receptive, more able to cope with life? I welcome your contributions.

To submit your experience to this project, please visit www.algarveowl.com/research/invite.htm
and download the questionnaire that you will find there.

All contributions to this project will be treated in the strictest confidence.

 

Keith Beasley is a Reiki Master and mature post-graduate student studying at the School of Theology and Religious Studies, Bangor University, College Road, Bangor, Gwynedd, LL57 2DG, UK.

This research commenced in Nov 2008 and studies the relationship between transcendent experiences and levels of consciousness. Further details are provided on the above web site.

If you have any questions on this research, please e-mail keith.beasley@...

Thank you

Keith

Subject: Atlantean Reiki E-Book 		hiddenteacher

When I first conceived the idea for the ‘Atlantean Reiki’ e-book, I was only originally planning to discuss just that – Atlantean Reiki! 
 
Somehow, and I am not even sure exactly at what point that was, after I had completed the chapters on Atlantean Reiki I found myself adding all sorts of additional information, most relating to Atlantis and Ancient Egypt. 
 
Of course, Atlantean Reiki pre-dates allopathic medicine and so when Mikao Usui first introduced Reiki into the Western World, whether he realised it, or not, he was only re-creating a healing technique which had been practised many many thousands of lifetimes ago.
 
I don't expect every Reiki Therapist or Reiki Master to agree with all my teachings. We all have our own truths and individual pathways, even Reiki Therapists and Reiki Masters!! (smiles). I always honour people's individual belief systems and I hope they will honour mine!
 
Nevertheless, I still believe that every Reiki Therapist and every Reiki Master should read my e-book! This is not because I have written it, but in the part of my book which isn't discussing Atlantean Reiki, there is a large amount of metaphysical information and ideas, which will greatly benefit ALL Reiki Therapists and Reiki Masters. Much of this information will be new to most of you.
 
It doesn't matter to me - one little bit - which kind of reiki you practise. I am only interested in knowing that you are spiritually-orientated Lightworkers who are connected to the Highest Divine Consciousness.
 
Many of you I know personally and I know that you are walking a Spiritual Pathway of Love, Light and Peace - and I know that you will resonate with all the vibrational energies which you will absorb within my Atlantean Reiki e-book.
 
The Atlantean Reiki e-book spans nearly 200 pages and has some 65,000 words - and costs only £10.95.
 
Please take your time in reading the Atlantean Reiki e-book. There is a large amount of information that you will need to absorb, particularly within your sub-consciousness.
 
You may expect to find that you will find it much easier to access your cellular memories................
 
Whatever celestial information you may receive I shall always be very glad for you to share it with me
 
I am only able to offer Atlantean Reiki as an e-book because of the logistical problems of trying to print a 200 page paper book!

Dear Friends,

Sai Ram. I am sharing with you the review of a book that I read recently. Since
the book is related to health, I am sharing the review with my friends in
several health and other groups in addition to the usual review sites. The case
of Nick is a good example where birth defects, once introduced by any factor
need surgical intervention. Alternative healing systems of course help with the
medical management of the cases before and after surgical intervention, as we
all know.

Regards.

Swamy

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Title: Nick's New Heart
Sub-Title: The True Story of Love, Strength, and Courage
Author: Susan May
Publisher: Tiger Iron Press
ISBN: 0-9787263-2-4
Genre: Biography, Medical, Coping
Presentation: Hard Bound with dust jacket

I love medical books, especially the ones written by laymen and those written
for laymen by doctors. So, when a chance came to review this book, I agreed
readily and I am happy that I agreed!

Susan writes well and the editors also did a wonderful job in keeping the flow
smooth. The story is gripping and the saying, "Truth is stranger than fiction"
is so true in this case. The problems with Nick (Nicholas) start early, almost
immediately after his birth and continue into the childhood, culminating in a
heart transplant surgery 17 years ago! The book is about the drama, the trauma
and the wonderful doctors and the support groups that helped the baby live and
that too with a fairly high quality of life!

There are a few typos but they won't distract you, the reader (I could not help
seeing them because I am a reviewer and editor myself). I was left wondering why
Susan did not write this book earlier when pediatric heart transplants were not
that common and when her book could have reached out and gave new hope and
courage to thousands of affected parents all over the world. Now, pediatric
heart surgeries including heart transplants are much more common and there is
lot more information in the form of books, articles etc. I was reading a
wonderful letter from Dr. Devi Shetty of Bangalore (Bengaluru now. a large city
of India), a leading pediatric cardiac surgeon who has performed 4000+ surgeries
on children and the
letter was addressed to the children. Ask me for the link to that letter if
interested. He does the surgery free!

All in all, reading this book was moving and inspiring. I recommend the book
strongly if you or some one you know have any interest in health matters,
especially relating to children, surgeries etc.

About the Reviewer: I am Swamy, a physicist, a metallugist etc. with interests
in holistic health, spirituality etc. and am an author, editor and reviewer. Pl.
see my blog at http://swamyreviews@blogspot.com for more details.

 The Ancient Sound of "OM"


by David Gordon



Seeking the unstruck sound Ancient teachings and modern science agree: you, I, all living things, all things in existence are made up at their most essential level of vibrating, pulsing energy. For millennia, mystics have recounted their experience of this energy, which is said to manifest in our hearing awareness as a humming vibration around and within everything else. In the Sanskrit tradition, this sound is called "Anahata Nada," the "Unstruck Sound." Literally, this means "the sound that is not made by two
things striking together."

The point of this particular distinction is that all ordinary audible sounds are made by at least two elements: bow and string; drum and stick; two vocal cords; two lips against the mouthpiece of the trumpet; the double reed of the oboe; waves against the shore;
wind against the leaves. All sounds within our range of hearing are created by things visible or invisible, striking each other or vibrating together, creating pulsing waves of air molecules which our ears and brain interpret as sound. So, sound that is not made of
two things striking together is the sound of primal energy, the sound of the universe itself. Joseph Campbell likens this unstruck vibration to the humming of an electrical transformer, or the (to our ears) unheard humming’s of atoms and molecules. And the ancients
say that the audible sound which most resembles this unstruck sound
is the syllable OM.

Tradition has it that this ancient mantra is composed of four elements: the first three are vocal sounds: A, U, and M. The fourth sound, unheard, is the silence which begins and ends the audible sound, the silence which surrounds it. There are several traditional
and allegorical interpretations of this ancient sound. The ancient tradition of AUM.

The loveliest explanation of OM is found within the ancient Vedic and Sanskrit traditions. We can read about AUM in the marvelous Manduka Upanishad, which explains the four elements of AUM as an allegory of the four planes of consciousness.” A" (pronounced "AH" as in "father") resonates in the center of the mouth. It represents normal waking consciousness, in which subject and object exist as separate entities. This is the level of mechanics, science, logical reason, the lower three chakras. Matter exists on a gross level, is stable and slow to change.

Then the sound "U" (pronounced as in "who") transfers the sense of vibration to the back of the mouth, and shifts the allegory to the level of dream consciousness. Here, object and subject become intertwined in awareness. Both are contained within us. Matter becomes subtle, more fluid, rapidly changing. This is the realm of dreams, divinities, imagination, and the inner world.

"M" is the third element, humming with lips gently closed. This sound resonates forward in the mouth and buzzes throughout the head. (Try it.) This sound represents the realm of deep, dreamless sleep. There is neither observing subject nor observed object. All are one,
and nothing. Only pure consciousness exists, unseen, pristine, latent, covered with darkness. This is the cosmic night, the interval between cycles of creation, the womb of the divine Mother.

The Yoga of AUM. It might be said that the ultimate aim of Yoga is to enter this third dreamless realm while awake. Yoga means "yoke" or "join." Through yoga we "join" our waking consciousness to its "source" in the world of pure, qualities unconsciousness. Which brings us to the fourth sound of AUM, the primal "unstruck" sound within the silence at the end of the sacred syllable. In fact, the word "silence" itself can be understood only in reference to "sound." We hear this silence best when listening to sound, any sound at all, without interpreting or judging the sound.

Listening fully, openly, without preconceptions or expectations. The sound of music, the sound of the city, the sound of the wind in the forest. All can give us the opportunity to follow the path of sound into the awareness of the sound behind the sound. When one
really "listens" to this silent sound, this unstruck vibration, one comes inevitably to stillness, to pure and open existence. The poet Gerhart Hauptmann says the aim of all poetry is "to let the Word be heard resounding behind words." The sound behind the sound. And, in making the sound of AUM, we hear this unstruck sound most clearly in
the instant when the last humming vibrations of the "M" fade away. At that moment, that instant separating audible sound and silence, the veil is thinnest, and our listening awareness is most expansive.

At that moment of silence, to use William Blake's words, the "doors of perception" are cleansed, and "everything would appear to man as it is, infinite." Another way to make the AUM sound.

One of my favorite exercises with the sacred AUM sound involves a more modern interpretation of its elements. In short: "A" is the sound of infinite expanding energy in the universe, the energy of unity consciousness and Divine Love; "U" is the sound of that very
energy manifesting and materializing in our waking reality; with the sound of "M" we absorb and integrate that energy into our own being. In the silence after the sound we give thanks and allow the process to resonate within us.

Try this: stand comfortably; feet shoulder width apart, hands and arms hanging easily at your sides. Prepare to make the "AUM" sound, all three vowels in one seamless breath. Inhale gently, easily, expanding into your belly as you breathe. Open your mouth fully as
you inhale, as if to "inhale" the "A" sound itself, creating the intention of the sound before the sound actually begins. Then, as you begin to make the "A" sound, raise your arms out to the side, as if opening to embrace all the universe. Than as your voice transitions
seamlessly to the "U" sound, extend your arms to the front, as if to hold something precious and powerful in your hands. You might wish to visualize some shape, round and energetic, manifesting between the palms of your hands. Then, gliding from "U" to the "M" sound, bring your hands, and whatever they may contain, to your heart center. Finally, in the echo of the silence, bring your palms to your chest, pressing them lovingly to your heart. Breathe gently.

Repeat this exercise several times.

It is remarkably centering and relaxing. Find your own way. The most important aspect of this second form of AUM is the combination of sound and movement. It really doesn't matter what "images" you create in your mind as you do this exercise, or what specific
significance you choose to attribute to each of the individual vowel sounds. The mere fact that you are intoning this ancient sound, and combining it with gentle intuitive movements of the upper body, will have a naturally gentle and balancing effect on your body, mind,
emotions, and spirit. In that state, we can best hear the Anahata Nada, the unstruck sound behind the sound, the very Sound of the Self.
