“SCIENTIFIC" EXPLANATION OF MEDITATION
God’s communion within His own Being is a sequential transition from the still, unconditioned Light of His knowing and the moving, conditioned lights of His thinking.
The Light of His knowing is undivided. It is a balanced equilibrium. The two lights of His thinking are divided. They are the electric pulsations of two-way motion which build thought-forms for recording His knowing.
God’s light-wave universe is the invisible still Light of Mind- knowing. God’s electric universe is the product of God’s knowing, expressed by the visible, pulsing lights of His dynamic thinking.
We cannot say more to you than that, for God’s communion with His Self is identical in principle and practice with your communion with your Self-Oneness as God. The eternal Light of eternal Life is the balanced Light of the Soul-Mind universe.
Your electric body is the product of your knowing, expressed by your thinking--as God’s universal body is the product of God’s knowing, expressed by His thinking. If you can but fully realize this vitally important fact, you will be farther ahead than you could possibly be by reading all the books in the Congressional Library.
When you commune with full understanding, you become aware of your oneness with God. You become more and more aware of the fact that God’s Mind is your Mind, that His knowledge and power are your knowledge and power. When God becomes your teacher (and little doves, you of this brood have God as your personal teacher, I hope you understand that gift), you need no earthly teachers. I watch you in this crew and know that you don’t yet understand that which I say to you for, already, you cannot separate that which came to you as a “brother” from that same entity which is now your “Father/Creator”--how blessed you are to come into KNOWING through this wondrous route of brotherhood so that you were able to grow into the comfort of His Mighty Presence. You have learned the reverence without losing the wondrous humor and comfort of His sharing toil. You who labor so hard in a “Commander’s” service will find that to be the reward of rewards for your selfless service.
To the extent that you become aware of God as the still Light which centers you as Soul of you, you are God. As you become more and more enabled to forget your body-awareness and find yourself alone in that stillness of cosmic Light, you form inspired conceptions of ideas which come to you in timeless flashes of that Light which you do not see but KNOW because of its illumining presence. You feel the ecstasy of it in the Light of your Soul and in the inspiration which accompanies your celebration.
All geniuses conceive their ideas with that accompanying joy and exaltation of inner thinking. They then think those ideas into form. After the mental image is clear, they give a material body to each idea by outward thinking through their senses for others to interpret in the measure of their knowing. To sum up this as a formula, we might say that meditation is a sequential journey from the zero of Mind-knowing--through the action of Mind-thinking--to the rest point which centers two-way thinking--and back again to that zero of Mind-knowing.The more intensely you can comprehend this definition, the more simple you will find all things in life, for we do not depart from the above formula in any decision or action of life, or the solution of any problem of life. Nor do we depart from it during this entire course of lessons. It is most basic, as you will discover as we proceed. We urge you, therefore, to give deep thought to it and recognize its prototype in principle in all things, even unto life, death and rebirth as being the same effect as inbreathing, outbreathing and repeated inbreathing.
Desire in God to manifest His Being by producing imaged forms by projection in light-waves of motion from the stillness of His Light of knowing is the energy of the universe which He is eternally creating. Desire in you is, likewise, the energy which enables you to create your universe. We will talk much, later on, about your energy and God’s energy in relation to the motive power extended to you from God, and your use of it.
Constant communion with your Source of energy will give you both knowledge and power to use it by giving form to your inspired conceptions under your cosmic control instead of under your sensed control. Communion with God in meditation means talking with God in Mind silence.
In the last lesson, we took you one step nearer to the simplicity which underlies your interchange between knowing and thinking. We will now take another step in that direction by having you understand the love nature of the universe and how that love principle parallels the simple formula given to you.
Communion with God exalts you to the joy of the universal love principle of God and Nature. Here we must use the word ecstasy which is also a badly misused term. It is, however, the only suitable word for it is the one undivided emotion--the balanced full joy “ecstasy” of love for which there ARE NO OPPOSITES.
The reaction to the giving of love is love regiven. When your meditation gives to you the love nature of God, you will then know that there is no evil, nor sin, nor bad in God or in Nature. There is naught but GOOD in God’s universe. This does NOT mean that the presence of evil is absent from the world but only that--in communion WITH GOD--there is nothing save Goodness because ALL is then perceived with the objective of total Love.
In communing with God directly, or through those moods of Nature which lead you to God, you become aware that His nature is your nature. In your deep communion, you feel only the universal love nature of God extending through you to all the universe. You then love all things for there is naught but love extending through you and from you. Your own ecstasy tells you that.
Imagine yourself communing with God indirectly, such as listening to the heavenly rhythms of God’s heartbeat in a masterful symphony. While thus enraptured by the divine rhythms reaching your very Soul, can you possibly imagine yourself thinking evil, or thinking sinfully by planning to cheat, or lie, or steal? No--of course you cannot. The reason you cannot is because you are reflecting the love nature of the universe in your spiritual Self, and there is no sin in that love nature to reflect. That is why you should seek God in meditation immediately if you indulge in angry or unkind thoughts. You must restore the balance of the universal love principle, else the toxins of unbalanced thinking will upset the balanced normalcy of your body rhythms, which all illnesses are.
Form the constant HABIT of meditation. Make it a moment-to- moment private continuous attitude of your Mind in order to keep in tune with the universal rhythms of God’s balanced thinking. Be in tune with them always. Never stray far enough from God-awareness to allow the slightest imperfection in your work, your health, your friendships, your business plans or any achievement whatsoever. The more you become fully aware that you cannot do anything of yourself alone, and desire partnership with the whole universe, the more you will find that you can say, in the deep depths of your communion, “I am the universe. I am all that is, for the Light of my Father is all that is, and I am that Light. I and my Father are ONE.” That is cosmic meditation, for that is the thinking of the new race of cosmic man now in the borning.In those deep depths you can desire what you will, and “behold, it standeth before you.”
It is recorded that every man who has known the illumination into Cosmic Consciousness has first lost all awareness of sin or evil. He finds himself in a universe of love in which there is no evil. You are quite a ways from that state of beingness--of necessity, for you must bring back into balance a very unbalanced world where evil has run amok. We must first bring love and balance into the world in such a measure as to begin the swing back into balance from this tremendously unbalanced circumstance.
Could it be done through ONE MAN? Yes, but you had best look at that one man in point--if he clings in any manner to that which is deviant from any of the laws of God and Creation then he has not the full capability of desire to change the whole. I mean ANY DEVIATION!
This God communication leads you into the REALITY of love and away from the unreality of evil. When one is wholly Mind, he can know no evil for there is no evil in his presence. God and His universe are founded upon love. Love is all there is.
ALL OF NATURE MANIFESTS LOVE
The entirety of Creation is the manifestation of love. Every effect of motion in Nature is a manifestation of the nature of God, for Nature gives of its all in every action and regives equally in every reaction. If that were not so, the movements of the planets would not be predictable. The electric heartbeat of nature expresses love in both halves of each cycle of the universal heartbeat. Nature never takes--for God never takes. Nature always gives equally--for God always gives equally. God’s equally balanced giving for regiving is never violated in Nature. It could not be violated for Nature is an extension of God’s nature. For this reason, the balance of Nature can never be upset.
When you commune with God, do not have desire written upon your heart for that which is to be given to you. Ask, rather, to be inspired as to what you can give, and how, in order to be worthy of that which will surely be given you if you first give. UNLESS YOU FIRST GIVE, YOU WILL NOT BE RE- GIVEN.
Let your thinking be energized to express love by first giving love in order that its inviolate reaction will regive love. To give possessions is not giving love. Love can only be given from your Self to another Self, and love given without Self is like unto sounds of music given without Soul. To extend love is to multiply the Light of it a thousandfold.To the extent that you are illumined with the Light of Love, which comes only from communion with the Source of love, to that extent you will be enabled to manifest your genius in masterly creations of your own. The very purpose of meditation is to enable you to give body-forms to ideas conceived by your Mind.
Unless the Light of love which illumines you is extended into your creations, they are but dead things which cannot endure.
The one point we wish to accentuate is that what we are now telling you is Universal Law, inescapable and inevitable law, which cannot be violated. Just to tell you this is not enough. Talk it over with God in your heart and you will really know that if you defy the law to the slightest extent it will hurt you equally, while if you work with that law it will work with you to the fulfillment of your every desire.
HOW DOES MEDITATION HELP YOU TO CREATE?
A musician asks how meditation helps a musician to compose a symphony. He claims that teachers are necessary because of
technique. Teachers can never teach you to be a poet, musician, artist, inventor, or creator of anything. They can only teach you techniques which they themselves have attained at the very best. God is the only one who can teach you to create. A teacher can tell you how to give a material body to your concept, but only God can give you your inspired concept. In other words, a teacher can give you a technique for expressing your idea, but he cannot become your Soul from which your concept extends.If the teacher can reinspire you with his inspiration, that inspiration of his, reflected in you, awakens the sleeping genius which is within you, but no one can teach you that. If you have been inspired by listening to a Paderewski, he has not taught you anything. He has enabled you to recognize the Light within your Self by his re-illumining.
The beauty of music is not in its technique; it is in the Soul of its creator. That is why the same “tune” does not express the same Soul essence as different persons present it. One may be a genius--the other a player of recorded music. A copy of a great master’s art may be quite identical but one is the original with its Soul and the other remains “a copy”. Music is neither the sound vibrations of music; it is in the silence of the Light from which the sound sprang--a series of “tones” does not make music. You can KNOW music and THINK it without having acquired the technique of expressing it, or without producing sounds to give it a body. Your inner ears can hear the music in the silence of God’s eternal rhythms and you can interpret your moods into the rhythms of the universal heartbeat, as Beethoven interpreted the mood of the moonlight into the rhythms of it without having any teacher but his God-Self.
Consider the life of any great musical genius. What he finally produces in a written composition first begins in his Soul.He must first find aloneness with Self by getting away from all other people--even from his own body-awareness. He must suppress all outer influences to seek that stillness from within from which the inner ears of his Soul can hear the rhythms of the universal heartbeat of God’s creative thinking. This is why, for instance, Dharma must have silence and quiet about her and aloneness when we write for otherwise her consciousness is distracted into fragments and she cannot hear that which we bring forth, or send forth,as the case may be. I know that ones who live and work with her assume she just sits and types--no, she is as any other writer--she must hear the message. God is the author of any worthy writing. All GREAT writings are of God for those of the adversary DO NOT ENDURE.
To find that stillness in the Light of knowing, he must stop thinking in order that he can conceive idea from the Light of all-knowing. From the ecstasy of that stillness, the inspiration is born in his very Soul. The motive for his symphony gradually takes form through the heartbeat of his thinking, which he extends from the stillness of his Soul. He then ceases to extend it, again to find the stillness of the Light which is gradually giving him his motive through inner inspiration.
This is the mood of all creative geniuses during the inspiring and ecstatic hours during which they commune with God. By such communion, you awaken and unfold your own genius. There is no other way to become a cosmic being. There is no other way to acquire inspired knowledge to uplift you from earth into the high heavens of the kingdom of the Soul where cosmic man dwells.
Not until the creator of a cosmic idea wishes to give it a material body can a teacher be of any help.
Giving an inspired concept a material body means to extend the conception from the consciousness of Mind, through thinking, to the sounds of a musical instrument, or the symbols of a written manuscript. That is purely a question of technique. A teacher is helpful in the acquirement of a technique and all of its mechanics. Does Dharma have this practice and technique when she writes? Not exactly--as with this material she presents for us--however, the technique of getting in clear touch and reception of the work required great discipline and giving, not to even include inspiration. The technique is most human--the gift, divine. Do you see the difference? For through the technique, she ALLOWS us to write that which we need to share with you without inserting her OPINION.
In giving your conception a material body, many years of technical and scientific practice are needed. The science of the octave spectrum of color or tone is needed for expressing each of the arts, for from those octave-wave rhythms the poet, painter, architect, sculptor or musician gives rhythmic bodies to his inspired conceptions.
The architect must first go to the Source of all inspiration for his conception. He does not need to be an engineer or mathematician for that, but when he builds the cathedral of his inspired imaginings he must know the technique of the engineer and mathematician in order to give a material body to his imaged one. Likewise, the painter, sculptor, poet or musician needs to be informed, either by books, teachers, experimentation or experience, regarding the techniques of giving bodies to his spiritually-conceived ideas.
Remember, however, that technical information is not knowledge. You can be informed through the senses but you can acquire knowledge only through desire of the Soul for illumining with the Light of all-knowing. Knowledge is of the Soul and the Soul is not concerned with techniques. To the Soul they have no existence for your consciousness can conceive a greater symphony, poem, monument, painting or temple than you could ever give to a material body, no matter how perfect your technique is. So too, as you ask about these JOURNALS: Dharma writes on a keyboard through an earth technique that which God and we of his Hosts, present as the Soul unto the work. Without the KNOWING and the addition of input of Soul direction--we would simply have compiled more piles of print without direction or motivation save to present piles of print. Dharma herself, would, further, have preferred to write other types of material--or at least in beginning that was preference. She did not, nor does she yet, perceive herself a writer--shhh: she is still awaiting her “purpose”! She agrees to do this “favor” until she recognizes her purpose! Who are we to bend her from her seeking? For you who are new into the work here--she only started writing for us in July of 1989. God gets right with it when His time sequence is attended. There weren’t any more startled to find themselves doing this work than perhaps George and Desiree’ Green. George had made a commitment years ago to the Pleiades Command and Hatonn simply wrote a few little JOURNALS and reminders of commitment--it can be quite shocking when God comes knocking with his reminders of commitment. There have been some most interesting stories unfold herein which would be fun some day to relay to all so you can share your knock-knock’s, as in “Knock, knock! “; “Who’s there?” “God--where have you been?”
The Soul’s greatest masterpieces are never produced on Earth Shan. They never descend from their high heavens of the Mind universe. No musical master can produce in sound the music which he hears in his Soul while in communion with God. Physical sounds can be heard by anyone but the silences from which they spring can be heard only by a cosmic God-conscious being while his Soul is in communion with the Universal Soul. How well that music is received and appreciated by his listeners after he then records the remembered strains is that which gives life and Soul unto the projected works. At best, it is but a recording of God’s thought projected through physical perception.
Speaking, again, of techniques, an electric machine can remember information recorded upon it electrically, and it can repeat it countless times with accuracy. The electric machine is sensed (wired) for that purpose. It is a body without a Soul. It obeys the will of an intelligence which presses a button.
Man humans are but electric machines which remember and repeat information recorded upon their senses. People say of such persons that their technique is perfect but soulless. That means that God-awareness in them has not yet been awakened. That is what we mean by saying that teachers can give you techniques but God can awaken the Light of cosmic inspiration in you.
Many unawakened humans forever repeat the ideas of others, such as those who stand in assembly lines, each one electrically sensed to do his unthinking, unknowing part like an electrically-driven automaton. But many there are who also stand in assembly lines who perform work automatically with their bodies while their Souls are in communion with God in His high heavens. These are the cosmic ones among men who are seeking to find the kingdom of the Soul’s high heavens They gradually break away from the treadmill of life through communing with God.
John Doe of the assembly line can escape from John Doe and be Rachmaninoff, or Shakespeare, or whoever else at will. Through meditation, John Doe can roam the universe and be alone with God in the deep woods hearing the rippling fall of waters or the breezes in the pines above the crash of factory wheels or gears.
No matter how heavy the burden of the treadmill of life may be, or how bitterly your body may be chained to Earth, you may escape from it and be exalted among men by hearing the still small Voice within you whispering inspired words in God’s language of Light.
Let us bring this section to a close because I wish to discuss “how to meditate” a bit at the next sitting and the hour grows too late to complete the thought pattern. We shall sit again in the morrow, please. Thank you for attending me and thank you for your service.
I bid you precious friends peace within the wondrous Presence.
FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1991 9:56A.M. YEAR 4, DAY 337
Vio present to continue with our JOURNAL:
Meditation is the key that will open the door to your inner-Self wherein lies all the true power for material manifestation, for, as sound springs from silence, so does positive action come from inner KNOWING.
It has been said that one must lose one’s life to find it. Applied to meditation, it means that one must forget one’s mortal body in order to become aware of one’s immortality. That is exactly what happens when we seek the Light of Self-illumination in our eternal Selves. The great glory of existence is reached only by Mind-awareness. You can only reach supreme heights that way. In that ecstatic existence is the seed and Source of all-power and all-knowledge, which is yours by desiring it.
It is not easy to acquire the meditative state all at once, even as carefully as these writings will tell you how to acquire it. It is perhaps too simple and ones are seeking too much of a “change” of beingness. What you are actually doing is moving into a personal state of hypnosis wherein you are setting aside your sense awareness/ consciousness. Almost ALL misunderstand that which is “hypnosis” and, therefore, I am going to have to share a dissertation of what hypnosis IS!
Dharma, I ask that we take the explanation tape from your set and herein reproduce the lecture regarding “hypnosis”. We will make decisions regarding inclusion of the audio tape later. I do not want, however, to include a thing in tapes which is not duplicated in printed form --of this nature. I would suggest, however, to the Publisher, that to accompany this volume with a couple of pre-planned tapes would bring incredible results. People simply work too hard at a thing which is as simple as relaxation and you cannot attain it by written instructions. May we please conference regarding this matter, soon?
Acquiring “contact” comes a bit slowly if you are working without benefit of support from an audio source which can allow your mind to simply “follow” and your desire to commune MUST be present. First comes desire for change and only then can change be accomplished. There is no other way! You must either desire to live in the sensed body of Earth or in the Light of the Mind-kingdom of heaven. That is the answer to those who say they try to meditate but find that they cannot stop thinking to “get into that state of Mind”. To those who are thus troubled in making the transition, we would say that if you desired to talk to the President of the U.S., your Mind would be centered on the reason why you desired to talk to him.
Exactly the same procedure takes place when you wish to talk with God. Your Mind is centered on your desire. You could not possibly think of other things, nor could your thinking wander aimlessly. Concentrate hard upon your desire if you wish to, or just breathe your desire softly, or just write it upon your heart wordlessly. Perhaps your desire has no definite objective other than to find the peace of heavenly companionship by dwelling in the love nature of your Self and God.
It makes no difference what your desire might be, or whether your approach is in deep concentration upon some specific thing, or in dreamy decentration upon some nebulous idea--or upon nothing at all. You cannot concentrate long in any case, not more than five to ten minutes, before the reaction of decentration replaces it. Gradually the inspiration you ask for will come to you. Before you can realize it, you will find yourself sort of “stepping in and out of the body”, so to speak, in that alternation which always takes place while losing your sensed-awareness. Gradually you will completely forget your body and have full awareness of the Light of knowing, which MIND IS.
What I am asking Dharma to place herein is an explanation regarding hypnosis. To do this work we trained her by a Master Teacher of the subject and she is brilliantly qualified in hypnotherapy. I can only urge you to read most carefully this explanation of hypnosis and walk with her through the relaxation techniques and into ability at self-hypnosis--for this is a most private within Mind experience--to be shared only if desired. There is nothing more personal than your communion with God-
-NOTHING!
Learning is not enough, however--you must then follow-on, after several practice sessions with the self-hypnosis training tape, into the tape prepared for her use in “clearing”, asking in the higher Presence and giving permission to the sub-conscious to function physically by enabling you to remain in a state of relaxation but giving you ability to write as response flows. It is an excellent tape to utilize as you retire and allow that sub-conscious worker-bee to sort out the problems overnight. At first your responses will likely appear most silly to you--write what comes at any rate--often the higher energies will be testing to see IF YOU WILL ACCEPT THE MESSAGE--REGARDLESS OF CONTENT. You must learn to receive as given--not as YOU EXPECT OR THINK IT SHOULD BE IN RESPONSE. If, however, you get dark input--demand instant removal of all dark energies who are NOT IN DIRECT SERVICE OF DIVINE GOD SOURCE AND THE LIGHTED BROTHERHOOD. DO NOT ALLOW FAILURE OF IDENTIFICATION IN THIS MATTER--IF YOU PICK UP GAMES ABOUT IT-IT IS NOT OF LIGHT! GOD’S WORKERS IDENTIFY WITH GOD INSTANTLY!BUT YOU HAVE TO ASK, FOR THE ADVERSARY WILL LIE TO YOU EVERY TIME AND HE IS ALLOWED TO FOOL YOU IF HE CAN-- YOU MUST TAKE CONTROL!
DHARMA: REGARDING HYPNOSIS
There are so many misconceptions regarding hypnosis that we will herein correct any misinformation regarding this wondrous tool. We will allow you to see how and why the method works.
In order to fully benefit from use of the tapes it is extremely important that you understand exactly what it is you wish to accomplish and how the goal can best be accomplished.
It is most important that you understand what is meant explicitly, by the term “hypnosis”, and to also have understanding of how the Mind functions.
Ones attempt to change bodily functions and replace negative habits over and over to only end in failure. Perhaps you are efforting to build better self-image and esteem and/or be a better spouse or parent and simply cannot reach through that barrier of the conscious mind. Ones work hard at being a better public speaker and/or better relate to the opposite sex or generally with all others. We most often seek greater self-worth--the list seems to be infinite in length. You spend millions upon millions of dollars, each and every year, on self-improvement programs and countless diet plans, seminars and even seek psychiatric assistance to hopefully fulfill the dream of a magical result.
How many times do we decline to GROW within our careers or participate in social situations because of our own feelings of self-dislike and feelings of personal unworthiness? Failure then becomes our subconscious goal instead of a goal of success, riches, good health, social poise and confidence. We continue on and on forever reinforcing the feelings of failure until surely enough, failure results.
You no longer need to move toward failure for we can show you how to move only toward success in your life. The miracles follow and success must result for you will confront the problems and bring forth the solutions at a level of mind-control wherein the problem is recorded. You can now have the method THAT WORKS.
There are several parts to the human mind, two of which I am going to speak of in this discussion, and we will deal with them in order to achieve the use of the tool available to you. One is the “conscious” and the other is the “subconscious”.
The conscious mind is that portion of the mind of which you are fully aware. It is the “me” when you think of yourself. Now it appears that this is the portion of the mind that makes all of your decisions and directs your activities. This, however, is NOT TRUE. The other and larger part of your mind is the subconscious.
The subconscious is the REAL YOU. In actuality the conscious mind is ruled and directed by that subconscious mind. We all have “free-will” to do anything which we desire and our decisions are based on the strength of those desires.
The subconscious desires ALWAYS dominate the ones which are conscious. Let us use an example; A man may consciously wish to stop drinking if he is an alcoholic. He consciously regrets having the loss of love and respect of his family, which usually happens. He may also be watching his career being destroyed due to his drinking. Yet he will continue to drink to excess in spite of his “conscious” desires. The subconscious mind will continue to direct the person to drink in excess until such time as the idea within the subconscious mind is changed or replaced by a different idea.
Although our conscious mind has the ability to reason and decide upon a course of action which would be far more advantageous to us, it cannot put that decision into action until such time as the subconscious mind agrees--and then must direct its energy toward the implementation of that decision. Our source of energy stems from the subconscious mind and no amount of WILL-POWER exerted by the conscious mind can override it. This is the reason “will-power” in the long-run will almost always only make a temporary dent in any surface physical problem. Habits will continue to dominate until the subconscious mind is changed.
The subconscious mind works exactly as a computer works in that it will respond only as it has been programmed. Much of this programming took place long before we were old enough to choose between ideas helpful or hurtful to our very own welfare.
The subconscious accepts only what the conscious mind believes at the time a suggestion is offered. If that suggestion becomes embedded in the subconscious and the conscious mind changes its opinion, the subconscious will CONTINUE to respond as originally programmed until such time as it is reprogrammed. After a NEW IDEA is PROGRAMMED and accepted within the subconscious, however, it then becomes accepted and is the idea upon which the individual will henceforth function. It now becomes apparent that if we wish to attain self-mastery in any situation, we must program and/or reprogram (as the case may be), our subconscious mind. Once this is accomplished we then CONSCIOUSLY direct our activity toward any goal desired--be it toward good health, happiness, financial success or success in any endeavor chosen.
Since the subconscious mind is our driving force we always do what IT believes and wishes us to do. Since it will believe anything it is told to believe we can reprogram it if we only bypass the conscious mind--set it aside--and then we must replace the old program with new and constructively positive ideas instead of the existing negative ones.
These new ideas then must be continually reinforced until they are totally entrenched habits of thinking and acting. It becomes obvious, therefore, that we must temporarily set aside that conscious critical mind, so that reasoning from a “false premise” can be stopped, thus allowing us to substitute a correct premise for the false one that we have stored within the subconsciousness.
This is accomplished most efficiently and rapidly through hypnosis.
As part of the beginning to make changes within your subconscious mind it is necessary to understand its nature and its function. The subconscious is designed to be YOUR SERVANT and act upon orders given to it by your conscious mind. Since it was designed to serve, it makes a very poor master, indeed. And yet most of us allow it to continually control our entire lives. It consists of your desires, whims and emotions and the energy that drives you to satisfy them. What your subconscious believes, is the difference between good health and sickness, happiness and unhappiness, success and failure.
The subconscious mind has several vital functions. It regulates and controls involuntary functions within the body such as breathing, blood circulation, digestion and elimination. Stress and tension inhibit these processes and are therefore responsible for ALL psychosomati illness symptoms. The subconscious mind is the seat of the imagination.
Many people will say they have no imagination. But of course they do, although they may have effectively suppressed it. Even against their own well-being and best interest they can always seem to create a negative response.
The subconscious mind is a memory bank very much like a computer. Everything we have ever done, seen, heard, smelled, tasted, felt or experienced in any way, is permanently stored in a maze of memory patterns which feed back the information to the conscious mind, when activated. Nothing is ever erased from the mind--except through injury or removal of a portion of the brain itself.
The subconscious mind is the foundation of our emotions. This accounts for its domination of the conscious mind. Since emotions govern the strength of our desires and since our desires govern our behavior, we are actually at the mercy of our subconscious mind--UNLESS WE LEARN TO CONTROL IT. The subconscious is incapable of discrimination and will believe anything it is told. It carries out our habitual conduct, it manages and controls the activities we have reduced to habit; such as dressing oneself, eating, walking and so on.
It is the generator that directs our energy. It is the energy that drives us toward our life goals. It, automatically and constantly, uses this energy to proceed toward a goal; therefore, unless you set a goal for it to achieve, it will either choose its own goal, or proceed toward a goal someone else has suggested. Without your direction and demand it might very well strive directly and unerringly toward negative and self-destructive goals. As I said before, it has no capability of choosing a proper goal.
The subconscious mind is not supposed to “think”, but rather, only to react to the thoughts you feed it and then to carry out your direct orders. It was intended that YOU be the boss and it be the servant and it is time you started giving the orders to push you on to success and happiness and bring you into communion with your higher beingness.
Any person who succeeds in his business or in his personal life, and anyone who is making large sums of money, has simply chosen success for a goal and given that direct order to his subconscious mind. This can be by conscious choice or by having had the idea implanted within his mind at some point in his past experience.
The subconscious WANTS to receive guidance from your conscious mind for that is the way Nature intended it to be. It will do exactly what it is told because this is its Natural function. You can direct it toward anything you wish and it will achieve it for you even though you consciously may even forget what it was you requested. Once an idea becomes fixed in the subconscious it feeds back into your daily behavior and causes you to be that which you are. So it is up to you to direct it to work for you instead of against you. Through the use of hypnosis or self-hypnosis you can easily learn to control your future by channeling your energy constructively.
We must clear up some misconceptions regarding hypnotism. The average preconceived ideas about hypnotism are so far from the actual truth as to be totally absurd and ridiculous. There is NOTHING MAGICAL OR MYSTICAL about hypnotism. There has NEVER BEEN A DOCUMENTED CASE OF HARM COMING TO ANYONE AS A RESULT OF ITS THERAPEUTIC USE.
Although its benefits are well established, it remains a much misunderstood and oftentimes frightening subject in the minds of the general public. This stems from the natural fear of a powerful force that is not understood.
This force, however, stems entirely from your own subconscious mind--and if you don’t bring it under your control it will most surely control you. It has that option. The greater danger is in not understanding the source of this power. Almost all physical and emotional ailments result from this uncontrolled force working against us when we should be using it to our best advantage.
Fear of hypnotism is, thank goodness, being gradually replaced by acceptance of its use. Even in medicine, doctors are finally accepting it as a viable and valuable treatment of emotionally caused diseases. Psychiatrists are beginning to supplement psychotherapy with hypnotherapy which dramatically reduces the time need (and also indicates why it is not more readily utilized--time is money for the physician and hypnosis is FAST, effective and inexpensive) for the therapy process. Dentists, too, are using hypnosis in order to relax patients and in that process are finding they are needing far less anesthetic or none at all, for painless drilling or tooth extractions.
(Candace: I no longer need anesthetic for drilling. I go into self hypnosis.)
There is a question which is always asked-- “How does it feel to be hypnotized?” And this is a most important point. You will feel the same while hypnotized whether by a professional hypnotist assisting you or your doing it yourself--provided you have
some audio assistance for otherwise you have no relative comparison.
Every muscle in your body becomes pleasantly relaxed and all tensions disappear. Every muscle in the body becomes relaxed as every nerve becomes calm. This happens in various degrees from one hypnotic experience to another until it becomes an established habit pattern, after which you are able to completely relax within just a few seconds. After the nerves and muscles relax the mind also lets go and--although you can and will remain “aware” of the noises and activities around you--they simply do not disturb your tranquility. You are able to think if you desire to do so, but only an emergency will trigger such a desire. You simply prefer to continue enjoying the pleasant relaxed feeling of complete security and contentment. It feels almost like being awake while sleeping. Perhaps a better description might be like watching yourself sleep in “mind’s eye”.
(Candace: Having occasional sleepless nights? Self hynopsis is a great thing to practice during this time, and your body will get up refreshed. I always just call it meditation, but it’s self hypnosis, and if you can’t sleep, you can use this period not only to relax/heal the body while you are down, but you can so some really “fun” other stuff, either sort and look at problems as if from a distance and just journey around the universe, and say, look at where Jupiter currently is, the real one.)
Any and every person goes into and out of hypnosis many, many times each and every day. It’s the abstract state you are in when day-dreaming and you become unaware of your surroundings. Or, when you are driving and drift off into thoughts so that when you look around, you realize you have reached your destination without realizing it. You will not pass out nor will you EVER become unconscious. In fact, the general reaction by most people after coming out of a hypnotic trance is that they don’t believe they have been hypnotized. They say they enjoyed the experience immensely but they had expected something much different.
You may remain conscious of where you are and what you are doing but you simply feel too relaxed and comfortable to give it thought. You can, however, return to complete awareness at any time that you choose to do so--it is especially so when in a self-induced trance for you still have the total control of the suggestions. NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN UNABLE TO COME OUT OF A HYPNOTIC TRANCE and the sensational stories you may have heard regarding hypnosis are simply untrue and are propagated by stage presentations which are intended to produce exactly such an illusion.
In an emergency you WILL IMMEDIATELY BECOME FULLY AND TOTALLY AWARE AND ABLE TO FUNCTION CLEARLY.
During a trance both your body and mind become revitalized and you will return to your full awareness feeling physically refreshed and emotionally calm and serene. Your energy will be renewed and your tensions will have dissolved. You will look forward with eagerness to your next experience because it is a very pleasant experience.
One reason people may have difficulty at first, in learning self- hypnosis, is that they don’t know when they are hypnotized. Because they EXPECT something much different they believe they have failed when actually they have succeeded very nicely.
(Candace: you who are learning to say receive from the higher realms, do expect some sort of “magic” to happen, and “TRY” way to hard, and thus shoot past your goal. By expecting it to be hard, guess what happens? )
There are various “depths” of trance which can be achieved and as you practice you will find yourself at various stages during different sessions until you become conditioned to the point where you can choose the depth.
While in trance you will probably experience a floating or a detached feeling--like your limbs are detached from your body; or perhaps your entire body may feel as if it is floating. It is an extremely pleasant sensation. With practice you can go into any depth of trance at any time you desire, in a matter of only a few seconds.
The light trance is the easiest level to achieve in self-hypnosis and is more than adequate for reaching and planting suggestions into the subconscious.
The medium trance is a level necessary for anesthesia and age regression.
The deep trance is the deepest level and appears to be, but is not, deep slumber. Hypnosis is a “type” of slumber but is not “sleep” as experienced when “asleep” at night. Anytime the term “sleep” is used in my tapes or instructions it is only a directive to the conscious mind to turn loose in order to bypass directly to the subconscious mind.
Now that you understand the power of your subconscious mind and the role of hypnotism in reaching it and influencing it--the next step is to learn to hypnotize yourself. The tools you will use are suggestion, concentration and imagination. If you have a good imagination you will find it extremely easy to learn self- hypnosis. Even if you don’t, it is not difficult. It is, however, of utmost importance that you DO NOT “TRY” TOO HARD. Because if you “try” too hard, you will become tense and this is the opposite of that which you are attempting to accomplish. (Candace: see, I just said that above.)
If you take a skeptical “prove-it to me” attitude, you will also impede your progress and that is not what we are about at any rate. Just cooperate and you will get your “proof” soon enough.
You must absolutely avoid an analytical attitude--analyzing will only keep your conscious mind alert and the whole object of hypnotism is to relax that conscious mind. Analyzing also breeds doubt as to the effectiveness of each step. Since hypnosis is a conviction phenomenon, doubt will surely slow your progress. We are assuming that you desire to hypnotize yourself or you wouldn’t be making all this effort.
(Editor’s Note: Please be reminded that this is a literal transcription of the first audio tape in a set of seven.)
You CANNOT go into hypnosis against your will so you can’t do it unless you follow the instructions. You must avoid over- anxiety and skepticism and simply cooperate with the ideas suggested. If you follow those ideas, relax and just let it happen, it will. You are going to have to, however, practice. You are given herein a “Learning Self-hypnosis” tape on the reverse side of this discussion. Use it alone for five to seven days. This will enable you to instantly respond to the subsequent inductions on follow-on tapes for programming or meditation. You MUST be able to rapidly and successfully get yourself into hypnosis prior to moving on to programming tapes in any of our sets.
A programming tape must then be played from 21 to 25 times to thoroughly entrench a new idea. Don’t switch to different programming tapes on different days at random. Continue with only one program for several consecutive days and with the sets for appropriate problem solving, you will be given instructions for multiple use of the program at point. This is so that you don’t confuse or overload your subconscious mind as to exactly what goals you are attempting to achieve. Don’t TRY to concentrate on listening to the tape(s), just simply relax your mind and allow it to drift as you listen. Your subconscious mind will absorb the taped message. Don’t try to analyze the contents or verbiage of the tape and quit asking yourself questions while you are in a state of hypnosis--prepare those questions prior to beginning and feed them in with instructions to attend them.
(Candace: If you take on any sort of “self improvement” with your subconscious mind, do so ONE at a TIME, otherwise, your poor subconscious will not see the forest for the trees.)
You will find that a few of you will experience positive results beginning within a day or so--perhaps one time through the session. The largest numbers of people experience success beginning around the third or fourth week with the planned programs. Ten to twelve percent will show results only after 45 to 60 days with self-hypnosis for some set up unintentional barriers which are not present in therapist assisted sessions. Don’t be discouraged. Less than 5% report only minimal changes and, without exception, those who experienced only minimal results-- FAILED TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PROPERLY. WE HAVE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO ONE REPORT A TOTAL LACK OF POSITIVE RESULTS--EVEN IF IT IS ONLY TO GET A WONDERFUL SLEEP SESSION.
(Candace: for those that like to relax to music with songs in it, be very careful WHAT you listen too, it may be better to listen to music without words. This is a problem in the churches with mind control. People are lulled into a hypnotic state with beautiful sounding music, accompanied by words that hook people into the WRONG idea of God. I was appalled and still am by music used in churches during “Lets worship the Lord Sessions” particularly those evangelical churches, which also put the words up on the wall while you sing. This method of mind control was quite an eye opener to me. People’s subconscious minds are being programmed to carry out the work of the beast in this manner. Ministers in fact are given training to mind control the members, of how to create a hypnotic state. You see this by masters working crowds too, even back in the days of the cross, in the people calling for the hanging of Christ.
And these same churches go about now programming very young children in the non ways of the Lord, on purpose, and this is what the subconscious mind will play for them until they can see through it. This is why some Christians bug you half to death that you must join a church, get baptized, receive the misunderstood holy spirit, and go to hell if you don’t, and give plenty of money to the church and Jesus will not accept you into heaven unless you belong to the one and only right church. So hypnosis can be misused on the unthinking person, and is on TV all the time during soap operas and sports games.
And you know all the hip hop music, and lots of other beaty music including HARD ROCK, there is often really bad words used in these, and these program the subconscious. Military uses them all the time. Remember that movie Fahrenheit 911 by Michael Moore, and the soldiers listening and singing to the “burn those mother fuckers type music?” DON”T let you kids knowingly listen to this type of music, because when they “get into it” they can be in a hypnotic state and can be programmed by it unless they are advanced souls who see through it. And even nasty war like harsh music without words can still program. )
Since in this context you will only be working with meditation tapes it is suggested that you only practice in a state of rest and NOT when doing another task. Programming tapes can be played while doing other things but--especially for beginners-- serious accidents can occur should you drift off to sleep, etc. Never use the “learning” tape except when lying or sitting comfortably with intent on utilizing the instructions.
Don’t excuse lack of trying this method of relaxation because of ANY past experience. If you wish to have success--begin right now and forget that which went before--we are not interested in that which did not work--AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU BE.
Each and every one of us must change mental programming if we intend to change our life style or reach any goal. You can begin immediately to changing those failure patterns into success blueprints. Success and happiness is your RIGHT, you are a perfect creation and you deserve the things you desire and the ONLY ONE STANDING IN YOUR WAY OF SUCCESS IS YOU, YOURSELF!
From this time forward the term “failure” can be removed totally from your vocabulary--forever, as well as from the domination of your life in this physical experience.
Those who reported the most rapid changes and success, played their tapes several times a day--so be patient, but in order to move along toward better results faster, I urge you to use the tapes as many times a day as you can make the time to do so.
Comment: The remainder of the taped message is specifically for the self-esteem tape set and is not applicable to this volume. However, it is really a boost to use that learning tape several times until you are proficient and then move on to other resource tapes.
The most successful time for listening to and experiencing the tapes is at bedtime when retiring because you are already anticipating relaxation and rest and this leaves the remainder of the night to allow the subconscious to sort and absorb the input.
Don’t be concerned if you feel as if you have drifted off to sleep, even with the programming tapes--if you rouse up to the click of the player or become aware that the player is silent-- YOU HAVE BEEN SUBCONSCIOUSLY TUNED IN TO THE MESSAGE AND YOU WILL HAVE HEARD IT.
If you wish to return to sleep after playing any tape simply give yourself instructions to do so, rouse yourself enough to turn off the equipment and return to bed and you will return to sleep almost instantly. If you get up to go about your activities, give yourself input that you are refreshed and feeling wonderful in every way, count to five and say that your eyes will be open, you will be alert and feeling good in every way, and do so.
You can create your own miracles and change your image in the total privacy of your own mind! Thank you.

Germain to return. Thank you for sharing and we will work out accessibility to the tapes in some manner best left to the publisher. It is the information regarding hypnosis which I particularly wished you to have.
RESPONSES TO OUESTIONS WHICH ARISE
Mostly, the question is, “How can I decentrate into that stillness of the meditative mood? The more I try to stop thinking, the more things I keep thinking of.”
First: Desire to be in the Light. Say to yourself wordlessly, “I want to be alone with God.” If you want to be alone with God, there is a reason for it. That reason is that you NEED GOD. You have a desire you want fulfilled--a problem to solve--illness--misfortune--financial loss or need--an idea for invention--a conception for a work of art. No matter what it is you need, whether knowledge, power or inspiration, no matter what it is, DESIRE IT IN YOUR HEART WORDLESSLY. Do not talk to God in words. Talk to Him in essence. Know Him. Do not Think of Him and thus make Him objective and apart from you. Be Him. Let your Soul touch His Soul. Seek His ecstasy of Mind. When you find that ecstasy, you will know that He is One with you.
Second: Your desire is written upon your heart. It is registered in your Soul. It is no longer your body’s desire; it is your Soul’s desire. You are in communion with God about it--not in words but in Light. You have an increasing sense of joyousness. Your desire is written into the universal heartbeat rhythmically. You are responding to it rhythmically. You are no longer just body--you are Soul--slightly aware of body--slightly aware of Earth and the heavens above, and of creating things. You are not thinking of extraneous things. You cannot think of objective things of Earth while you are in the Spirit.
Third: You are in a contemplative mood. There is an indescribable peace in its rest. Your Soul sees the beauty of the flower you are passing. It is not your eyes which see that beauty, nor your ears which hear the silences from which the sounds of Earth spring. You are in the rhythmic world of imagining--the world of inspiration--the world of the high heavens--the formless, indescribable world of the high heavens. You become less and less aware of your body as you become more wholly Mind. .You “dream” rather than sense.
Fourth You are in communion with God You are ONE with all things. All things are ONE. You KNOW all things as ONE. You KNOW the Light which all things are. You KNOW the love nature of God and of all things. You Know God as love. You KNOW yourself AS LOVE. You KNOW the ecstasy of love. You know your Self. The mortal YOU has become the eternal YOU.
Fifth: That which you desired to know, you do know. That which you desired to have, you now have. You have always known--and always have had that which you have but now desire. You have always known it in spirit for you are the Light of all-knowing, which spirit is. God does not give you knowledge of power. He gives you an awareness that you already have all-knowledge and all-power that He has, for He makes you comprehend your oneness with Him. When you actually KNOW that, you can then say, “My Father and I are one.”
Neither does God give you material things without your equal regiving, for that is the inviolate law regarding all material things. He gives you the seed but you must unfold the seed. He gives you His body to fashion into the form of your desire, but you must give equally of your body to fashion it. God gives you the tools you need, but you must use them. God manifests the spirit of His nature in His own body by creating His body in the image of His Self. You must manifest the spirit of your nature in your own body by creating your body in the image of your Self. God will forever work with you, but you must work with Him.
Sixth: In meditation, you have stepped out of the material into the spiritual You. You have stepped out of the body of yourself into the Mind of your Self--out of the manifestation of reality into reality. You have stepped out of the conditioned universe of divided and unbalanced things into the unconditioned and undivided universe of balance which controls unbalanced things. You have done this because you had desire in you which must be fulfilled.
Your desire has been fulfilled. God has illumined you with the knowledge you desired. You have become inspired. Conception of idea in spiritual form is now in you--but can you now come back into the physical world and transform your conceived image into a material one? You now know CAUSE. You have acquired that knowledge from the stillness of Mind-knowing. Can you translate it into effect by making a body for your conception? God has given you what you have desired--but now comes the important question as to what you are going to do about it. How shall you use it? Have you the moral courage to use it or are you still a weakling, preferring to suffer the effects of your ills rather than remove their cause? Will you work with God and arise, or against God and fall?
Your body manifests your Mind. It will do what you command it to do. Is it ill? If so, it is out of balance. Restore its balance by balanced thinking. Balance is in the eternal YOU--now extend balance to the mortal you. Whatever your problem was, it has been solved in the spirit of you. Can you now manifest it? Can you now give it a body? Can you now extend your spiritual balance to your unbalanced physical body to stop the wreckage of your business--or heal your body--or regain a lost friendship?
Dharma--Dharma, respond to me, please. The computer is going to destroy our work. We must close it out. Did you not see that which it did? I must ask you to remain a bit more alert for it was just now hit with a strong blast and I must have you pay more attention. Please let us leave this room. We can finish the subject at another sitting. I believe you need to check on the meeting probabilities, also. Thank you, chela, for a long session. I will stand aside.
