The Universal Music System (patent pending)

Our minds develop from the information we gain through our senses. Since our sense use the natural language, then the development of our mind is dependent upon the natural language. Our perception and interpretation of all things is based on the natural language. The goal of metaphysics is to knowledgeably unify the developments in our mind, with the natural structures of our senses, and the natural structures found in the physical universe. We then have a clear path to follow. If we want to truly understand these connections we will need to do more than simply think about the relationships - we will need to experience them. This is where music metaphysics shines. The study of the metaphysics of music allows the individual to physically experience the natural structures of the natural language and gain new insights and meaning.
The most fundamental element of music metaphysics is its language. The proper music language must perfectly describe the natural language found in our senses and in our sensory developed minds. It must be properly tuned to the natural structures upon which the material and spiritual world are formed. If the language is not so tuned, the metaphysic experience will be greatly diminished for, although we may be able to appreciate music, we will not be able to understand it, and we will not be able to receive the full mind, body, spirit effect.
The first step in developing the natural music language is to understand that music is a system of sound frequencies which are fundamentally described by numbers. If we hit a piano key, the key moves a lever which hits a string inside the piano. The string vibrates at a fundamental frequency we might arbitrarily call 1. As it naturally vibrates it naturally produces a frequency we would then call 2. If the first note we played was called ‘C’, then the frequency we called 2 will also be called ‘C’. This is a first principle of the music language called identity. Each multiple of 2 is recognized as an identity of the fundamental 1. So, in order to properly identify this property of identity, we form a musical staff and a keyboard that reflects this property of identity. On the staff we mark octaves as octave 1, octave 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on. Next to the octave number, we can place a design with a short line running through it to identify an octave note. Since we perceive each octave as a perceptually equal step, then we separate the octaves by visually equal amounts.
The next step is to identify the natural musical tones. It turns out that the natural language defines unique musical tones by multiples of the number 3. If we begin with 1 and continue to multiply by 3’s we will generate 12 unique tones before we repeat the first tone at the 12th multiple of 3. Thus there are 12 fundamental tones.
How are we going to identify the 12 fundamental tones? We could identify them by number, but numbers easily get complex and unwieldy, and do not transmit as much information as we would like. We could identify them by their structural order, but what order? Since we are trying to come up with some visual means of identification, then the most fundamental and natural language device we could use will be the language of our sight. Our natural visual language is the language of color. The fundamental relationship between color and musical notes is the relationship between consecutive colors and multiples of 3.






In one single step, by using the 12 fundamental colors to represent the 12 fundamental musical notes and the 12 fundamental numbers, we can instantly imbue notes with their natural recognizable meaning. For example, if you see the note identifications A and E, can you naturally understand anything about them? But if you see the note yellow-orange and yellow, you instantly understand that they are closely related notes because they are also closely related colors. In the same way, if you see the notes yellow and violet, you will instantly recognize that they are distantly related colors. And this is just the beginning. With just a little more knowledge of color and color relationships, the entire system of music opens up to us like a blooming flower. We call this opening vision a crystalization because the natural structures of the universe crystalize to perfection before our very eyes.
The next step is to understand the natural harmonic development of color. Clearly frequencies or numbers do not develop simply by multiples of 3. In other words, before we count the numbers 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, ...., we count the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, .... It turns out that the natural harmonic pattern of color, called the chromatic color circle, is a series of alternating colors.
In the chromatic color pattern, consecutive notes are distantly related. What is then needed is some kind of visual pattern that identifies this distant relationship. The most fundamental visual definition of opposites is black and white. Therefore, we will identify consecutive chromatic colors by a black and white grid pattern. Of course octaves still need to be identified so one of the black segments is converted to gray.

Using the black and white pattern, it is now possible to design a notation grid that perfectly corresponds to the natural chromatic pattern. Each of the 12 fundamental chromatic notes has a uniquely placed white space or black line. The reference octave note has a short line through it to emulate the gray grid position. Each of the 12 fundamental chromatic notes has a unique color to properly identify it.



Because of the perfect correspondence between the keyboard, the musical staff, and the natural language, the keyboard and staff system are the perfect system to learn about music metaphysics, or about music generally. Although we will not go into details here, we can discuss some of the general principles of this natural system and its implications.
One of the most fundamental applications of color is musical key. Natural groupings of consecutive colors form natural groupings of musical notes into keys. This property allows the metaphysical student access to much greater insight into the structure and relationships of musical key (see essay on musical key). Although not historically understood, it is the properties of color that composers use to create music. Simply put, the more we understand color, the more we understand music structures and by extension the natural language.
The black and white grid pattern is all about symmetry. Unlike traditional music systems, in this natural system a musical key will have the same pattern no matter which note it starts with. For example, the major musical scale will always be either 3 black keys followed by 4 white keys, or 3 white keys followed by 4 black keys (the gray key is associated with the black keys). Once you have this pattern it is a simple process to run the pattern through the many inversions and mirror images that naturally occur within the natural language and within our physical and spiritual self (see the scale ring below).
Finally, the system design incorporates principles of energy flow which we call color current or music current. Well designed musical compositions have intuitively applied cycles of current which we can easily feel as energy flowing through our bodies. The natural music system incorporates the natural energy flow within its design so that it becomes much easier to understand and knowledgeably use.
When all of these principles and many more, discovered by studying music metaphysics, are incorporated into our lives, we enter a level of understanding and experience that far surpasses what has previously been available to us. The study of music metaphysics is literally the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe.

Musical Key

The use of the word key is not arbitrary. Key means a device that unlocks secrets or makes the inaccessible become accessible. Musical key is the highest level of natural language organization and, when understood, gives the greatest insight into how and why the universe works so perfectly.
One of the most profound uses of musical key is to describe and mark the passing of time. Musical keys and colors were used prominently in ancient cultures for the ritual of timekeeping. It gave individuals the ability to feel and understand the natural differences between hours, days, months, seasons and years.
But time keeping is only the tip of the iceberg. The natural rhythms of time really describe the natural vibrations of our solar system, our planet, our society, our family, and ourselves. They define the very nature of the astrological signs and their meaning and system of relationships. The system of musical notes and musical keys helps us understand these natural rhythms and their system of relationships.
The simplest explanation of musical key comes from the color circle. Any circle is a wave, and with any wave, we can only perceive half of the wave at any given time. Otherwise we experience a phenomenon called destructive interference. When we consider half of a 12 tone color circle, we find that it is composed of 7 consecutive colortones which form the tones of the fundamental musical keys. For example, the key of E Major contains the scale A, E, B, F sharp, C sharp, G sharp, and D sharp.



Some examples of the historical and natural use of the 7 key tones are the formation of the 7 day week, and the use of the musical scale ring composed of 4 keys or 28 days to mark the woman’s menstrual cycle and the orbital period of the moon (272 days). At an advanced level, each 28 day cycle represents one color, and in a years time, 13 such cycles occur which means that each new year begins with a new color, and after 12 years, the color cycle repeats.
Musical key and its properties affect relationships. If you are born in a yellow month, you will have particular relationships with individuals in other months as defined by the harmonic key system. The greater knowledge one has of this key system, the more capable they will be at bridging the natural gaps between themselves and other individuals. And, in a general way, the more capable they will be at experiencing the fullness of each month and season.
In ancient times the study of musical keys was paramount. Entire societies would tie themselves to a specific tone and the specific organization of keys emanating from that tone. Thus everyone in the society would be in tune with the fundamental societal vibration. And, of course, the societal vibration would be in tune with their place in the material and spiritual universe.

The scale ring

One of the fundamental organizations of music takes place in the alpha wave, a foundation structure in the building of the material universe. Within the alpha wave, several groupings of four keys exist which we call scale rings. The purpose of the scale ring is to provide a path for energy to flow in and between the four sections of the alpha wave. In general, according to ancient sources, the scale ring property is meant to define the life cycle (birth, living, dying, and death), the daily cycle (morning, afternoon, evening, and night), and the seasons of the year (spring, summer, fall, and winter). In the menstrual cycle, it represents the birth of the egg, the life of the egg, the dying of the egg, and the death/disposal of the egg.
The primary scale ring is composed of an overtone major scale, an overtone minor scale, an undertone major scale, and an undertone minor scale, each composed of the same set of 7 notes, arranged in different order. For example, if the C overtone Major key is defined as the birth, then the A overtone Minor key is defined as the living, the E undertone Major key is defined as the dying, and the G undertone Minor key is defined as the death. So that you can understand the nature of the life cycle bound in this grouping of keys, we have transformed the song “Good Morning Merry Sunshine” into the four keys of the scale ring. The song begins in the key of C overtone Major, cycles through the four keys, and then ends by returning to the key of C overtone Major. What you should be listening for are not only the changes between consecutive keys, but between the first two overtone keys, compared to the second two undertone keys, and the perceived tension of the fourth key (the death key).



The Unification Key

In ancient China, a foundation tone was established to represent the vibration of the entire nation. This tone, referred to as the huang chung (literally translated as ‘yellow bell’), was considered to be the audible vibration of the cosmic energy, matter, and spirit. The vibration of the yellow bell was the foundation of Chinese music and was used to create resonance between individuals and the cosmos in a variety of ways. It is not known how the sound frequency of the yellow bell was determined but what is important is the measurable effect which it created for individuals within Chinese society. These effects are easily obtainable today through an understanding of the natural language and its application in music. For example, everyone has a specific vibration and color by which they are defined. Through music metaphysics, an individual can create music in the form of songs or meaningful patterns which are in resonance with the individuals vibration and color. One such example is the ability to create a key of tones where every tone of the key is the same color and the tonic of the key corresponds to the individuals vibration.
The unification key is founded on a fundamental principle of the universe which we might easily describe by the terms male and female. From the very beginning, and throughout the long journey of creation, male and female principles are united to form stability and greater complexity. At our advanced level of creation, our physical, mental, and spiritual beings are also composed of male and female sides, and the unification key is one way to unite these two halves into a single perfect entity.
The principle of the unification key begins with the fact that there exists two sets of 12 colors, one being male, and the other female. If we begin with the female colors we can find the male colors by looking at the exact center between each of the 12 female colors. For example, the exact center between the female yellow and the female red-violet, is the male blue-green-blue. The color or tone range between tones such as C and C# is called the microtone range and represents the synthesis or union of the male and female colors.



The natural division of the microtone range is by 7 microcolor steps. This division clearly identifies one of the sexes and only indirectly identifies the opposite sex which means that it keeps the sexual identity intact while allowing the two systems
to interact or bond.




Using the seven step microcolor range between consecutive chromatic tones, a series of same color tones can be identified. Starting with the female E (yellow) tone, a total of seven yellow tones are identified before they repeat at the octave or replicate of the female E tone. These seven tones form the yellow microtone key or the yellow male:female key, or the yellow unification key.
The unification key allows us to transcend our normal patterns of operation as either male or female, and experience the unity of the universe. This is not an asexual experience but a true union of being that opens inner doors that might otherwise be difficult to find and pass through.
At a much deeper level, this key provides a means of following paths of energy that naturally transit back and forth between the male and female sides of the universe. The ancients described such motion as riding the light.

Ascension

In Return of Light, by Elora Gabriel, Ascension is defined as the point
of unification of all our soul Aspects, thus becoming 'whole or one' in
Light again.
There are three types of Ascension described. The first is 'Personal
Ascension'- when an individual, through his own effort has attained that
level of vibrational frequency and balance and 'ascends'. just like the
Ascended Masters of the past like Buddha, Sananda, etc.
The second type is the 'twin flame' unification. In this type, souls
created as twins, who find each other, unleash energy and consciousness
which are encoded in them at their time of creation, thus attaining
ascension.
The third type is when planetary portals open as described in the above
mentioned post. In this type of ascension, souls who have developed and
prepared for the high frequency vibration that comes at this time will
ascend. As to what level of consciousness will that be, I do not know.
But in the Law of One, The Ra Material, it says that souls with at least
51% positive polarity can ascend. Souls of majority negative polarity
can also ascend if the negative polarity is at least 95%; this is so
because even in the higher dimensions, positive and negative polarity
still exist, not just positive polarity.
In another material (I forgot the name), it is said, that a person can
ascend, regardless of status of polarity, if he wills and accepts the
new vibrational frequency.

The Five Obstacles

by: James Clair Lewis

There are five obstacles that you will have to overcome on The Path. The first four are obvious, because they are physical conditions. However, any of them is completely capable of derailing your progress, and consuming all of your time. They are :

A) Physical danger.
B) Poverty.
C) Hostile relationships.
D) Illness, and bad health.

The fifth may be the hardest of all to overcome, since it lies within you. The fifth obstacle is your own EGO, and in all likelihood, it is the cause of all of the other obstacles that you will have to deal with.

Illumination is attained when one overcomes the Five Obstacles. That people have been reaching this Divine State for thousands of years, shows that it can be done. That only a few in each generation have been doing it, shows that it is difficult.

The greatest obstacle is the EGO, because it sets up the conditions for the other four. The Grand Illusion of the material world, is that external conditions shape our fate. If a person develops an unshakeable conviction, that the circumstances around them determine who they are, and what is possible for them to accomplish in life, then they make that a fact. That is what most people have been doing, and consequently what happens to them in life, is largely determined by whatever Karma they have created in past lives. Believing that external conditions determine what you can do, and what you cannot do, binds you to the Wheel of Suffering, and the cycle of Birth & Death.

Those of us here who are old enough to remember the 50s & 60s, know that at that time, that most white people in America were racists. But then the Civil Rights Movement came along, and thousands of people developed the conviction that things could change, that all people should be equal under the law. It is the law of the land now, and while there are still racial incidents, and groups based upon racist beliefs, the truth is that most Americans no longer care one way or the other. Perhaps it is not perfect, but the difference is like night & day.

Back in the 60s the Hippies were an outgrowth of the Beatniks. Many Hippies spoke about getting "back to the land", and living in harmony with the environment. In 1970 there was a major Human Be-in known as Earth Day. From this sprang the Environmental Movement. Now while it is still true that there is much pollution, & destruction of habitat going on, it is also true that most people in America now try to recycle things that can be recycled, and many corporations have gone "Green". In the town where I live, we get three trash barrels. One is Green for yard waste. One is Blue for paper products & plastic bottles. The other is Gray for everything else. This would have been unthinkable 30 years ago, except that people got an idea of how things could be, and they took action towards making it real.

So here are two examples of people changing the world by the Power of Thought. They adopted an Ideal, and made it a Reality. They did not allow external conditions to sway them, but set a Goal, and proceeded to take action that changed the world around them. The Five Obstacles that the world must overcome, before establishing civilization on Earth, and much greater than those faced by any individual, and since even those things can be dealt with, it follows that an individual can overcome the Five Obstacles within themselves, and attain Enlightenment.

There are Seven Cosmic Laws that govern the manefestation of everything in the Macroscopic & Microscopic Universe. It is not only our actions that create Karma, but also our beliefs, attitudes, and mental habits. Moreover, the Law of Gravitation works to attune us to conditions & situations in the world that match our mindset. That is how Magick operates, and every living thing is doing this all of the time, regardless of whether they know it or not.

Things are the way they are, because we are what we are. You can change. You can learn & grow. You can adopt a mindset of heath, wealth, beauty, serenity, and harmony. Doing this will change your circumstances. Obstacles may arise, but you will adapt. Where most people may simply give up when faced with a problem, you must have Faith that you can solve it. It is that Faith that will keep your mind open to a solution, and without it, you might as well as give up.

You probably have heard stories of people who became wealthy, and then went broke, yet a few years later they were wealthy again. While they were broke, they did not have any more resources that anyone else who was broke, yet they managed to get out of it, in a fairly short amount of time. What they had was an absolute conviction that they were wealthy. They refused to accept within themselves the vibrational mindset of poverty, and consequently they went out, and discovered new ways of generating wealth.

Then there is the case of poor people who hit it big with the Lottery. Almost all of them end up broke again within two or three years. Besides not knowing how to manage money, they maintained the poverty mindset within themselves, and consequently found ways to get themselves broke again in short order. And that is really sad, because losing wealth after attaining it, is a very painful experience.

You hear people say that "Money is the root of all evil", and they say that rich people live very unhappy lives. That's all a lot of hooey. Those beliefs can only bind you into the condition of poverty. Having grown up in a working middle-class environment, having worked hard at a lot of different standard sort of jobs, having been totally broke, & lived on the streets, AND having inherited some wealth, & subsequently lost it, there are a few things I can tell you about money and its relationship to happiness.

First of all, poverty is the worst. When you are poor, you are always hemmed in by material limitations. You may work really hard at various jobs, but you will only barely make ends meet. Worst of all, poverty will consume all of your time, and leave you with nothing left over. In poverty, you are always struggling, and may have to face physical danger, and ill health on a regular basis. Poverty drains the Soul.

Extreme fantastic wealth, also brings some problems. There will be greedy people trying to get your money away from you, and they have no scruples. It really hurts to trust someone, only to find that they were nothing but a pack of lies. Moreover, maintaining extreme fantastic wealth, requires all of your time & effort. This keeps the individual focused soley upon material things. Nevertheless, the problems of extreme fantastic wealth are nothing compared with the problems of poverty. Note also, that when a person in poverty accumulates a small reserve of cash or a few nice things, that there will also be those greedy individuals who will try to take even that from them. The greed factor is a problem for both the rich & the poor alike.

By far the most comfortable, and easiest economic level to maintain, is somewhere in the middle. Here you can afford nice things, and live in a neighborhood that is safe from crime. A pretty house on a quiet street, with a nice garden, just might be the ultimate in what REAL wealth constitutes. Certainly, it is easier to attain Enlightenment in an environment where you are free from fear. I wonder if this was a part of what the Lord Budhha meant by "The Middle Way"...

There are certain things that you can do to get yourself into this lifestyle. Realise that unless your regular job is a highly-paid career job, that working for somebody else, is not going to make you rich. You'll have to start your own business... something that you can do on the side, (I believe that some of you are already doing this. hehehe). When you have your own business, there is a chance that it might fail, and put you back at Square One. Except that that wouldn't really be Square One, since you would have gained experience, and have a better idea of how to proceed the next time. Every person who has attained great wealth, has failed & gone broke a number of times. It didn't stop them, and it shouldn't stop you either.

The next principle is saving money. Almost nobody does this, except the rich. Most people will spend whatever comes in as fast as it comes in, and if they start to make more money, they just spend that just as quickly, AND they lock themselves in to having to spend that money all the time. Thus, they end up on a treadmill of debts that weigh them down Spiritually. Saving 10% of your income will create a resevoir that will attract more money to you. This 10% should never be touched. Over time it will accumulate to the extent that the interest from it will become another source of income for you. The money that you save, would have gone into silly frivolous stuff that could only please you for a day or a week, & then be forgotten. You don't need to collect that sort of junk. Possessing shabby things, puts out a vibration of shabbiness, and this contributes to the poverty mentality.

When you spend money, spend it on quality things that will give you pleasure for years. Gradually surround yourself with things of beauty & durability, and you will be creating an environment that resonates positive vibrations all around you. Do not go into debt to acquire these things. The interest on the debt can easily amount to considerably more than the purchase price doubled, so it is more prudent to create a second resevoir of savings, (besides the basic 10%), that is earmarked for these sort of purchases.

The next principle for acquiring wealth is Charity. Giving 1% of your income to services to your community is a Blessing. You want to be a Blessing, don't you? The Path is a Path of Service. We should never forget that. To distribute while accumulating, encourages the Gods to look favorably upon you.

One final note about money, is that you shouldn't talk about it. At best, bragging about what you have, will arouse jealousy, and at worst it will attract the attention of thieves. It should be obvious that you shouldn't want to have to deal with either of those conditions, so don't create the vibe that will invite them in the first place. Something you will notice after you have put these principles into practice for awhile, is that you will be living at a much higher standard of living than most other people at the same level of income. This is because your perception of your relationship with the Universe, has the power to change the conditions under which you live. So Mote It Be.

Adopting a strategic attitude, & practicing, puts you into a futureward motion of direction. Often we do not notice the progress that we are making. It is like being electrostaticly elevated in a Faraday Cage. Everything around you seems to be normal, even though millions of volts of electricity will be all around you. It is the same with Spiritual & Occult work. One may not immediately notice the great strides one is making towards Enlightenment, because it all seems normal. What actually is happening, is that one's perception of what is normal is evolving to a higher octave.

Now I've been speaking a lot about how our attitudes can inhibit or expand our horizons. As we progress on the Path, we become more & more aware of things on the higher planes. When one's thoughts are primarily focused upon the material plane, they have little power to effect changes. When one begins having more experiences on the Astral Plane, then ones thoughts effect your surroundings with a greater degree of power. This is even more true, when one begins to function more & more frequently on the higher planes above the Astral.

So I want you to be very careful about how you think about other people. If you assume that a certain person, or a peticular group of people, HAVE to think or behave in a negative way, then you are in effect putting out a binding spell, that will help to hold them in that condition. When you have to deal with people who have swamped themselves with a limiting mindset, try to see them as working their way out of it. You will be amazed, & quite pleased by the results...

When you have a problem on the Spiritual Plane, and don't deal with it, that problem will manefest on the Mental Plane. If you don't deal with it there, then it will drop down to the Astral Plane to confront you. If you fail to deal with it on the Astral Plane, then that problem will come to you on the Physical plane in some form, and then you really have to face it.

The higher the level on which you solve a problem, the easier it is to deal with in the long run. If you solve a problem manefesting on the Physical Plane, by comprehending the Principle you need to learn on the Spiritual Plane, that problem may vanish instantly, or go away all by itself. This of course, requires a supreme attunement to the Spiritual within yourself.

Create Your Own Universe

‘You create your own universe as you go along. The stronger your imagination, the more variegated your universe. When you leave off dreaming, the universe ceases to exist.’
— Winston Churchill

Dark Room Enlightenment - The pineal gland and DMT

from: Dark Room Enlightenment by Mantak Chia

Pineal Gland

The pineal gland is the connection point for the Spirit or Soul. It is the physical center for, and transmitter
of, psychic phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance in time and space, and the actual influence of
thoughts on the physical surroundings9. (Fig. 16)
“When activated, the pineal gland becomes the line of communication with the higher planes. The
crown chakra reaches down until its vortex touches the pineal gland (Fig. 15).




Prana, or pure energy, is
received through this energy center in the head. With practice the vibration level of the astral body is raised,
allowing it to separate from the physical. …To activate the ‘third eye’ and perceive higher dimensions, the
pineal gland and the pituitary body must vibrate in unison, which is achieved through meditation and/or
relaxation. When a correct relationship is established between personality, operating through the pituitary
body, and the soul, operating through the pineal gland, a magnetic field is created. The negative and
positive forces interact and become strong enough to create the ‘light in the head.’ With this ‘light in the
head’ activated, astral projectors can withdraw themselves from the body, carrying the light with them.10
Fig. 15. Crown Vortex


“The pineal works primarily by converting the higher dimensional Light, that is constantly streaming into
your reality, into usable information for your pituitary. As it gradually activates, the pineal permits the body to
move its vibrational patterns into higher and higher levels. This process also allows your Light Body to
attach itself even deeper into your physical instrument (Fig. 17). Our process is to reset the focus in the
pineal. This chemical ‘lens’ largely disappears as you grow older. The decrease in its efficacy is one of the
major reasons for your body aging as quickly as it does. When the pituitary begins to receive the consciousness
energy packets from the Well of Dreams through its interaction with the pineal, it secretes enzymes
that permit the chemical ‘lens’ in the pineal to reappear. As this ‘lens’ strengthens, it allows the RNA/DNA
protein strings in your cells to activate your ‘third strand’.”


The pineal gland is located in one of the oldest anatomical regions of the brain. If you draw an imaginary
line from the center of your forehead, crossed by a line through the head at the ears, you have its
general location. The pineal is cone-shaped, about 8 mm (1/3 inch) in diameter, weighing from 50 to 150
mg. The gland is most active during childhood, and begins to regress at about age 7, becoming a calcified
tissue strand in the adult (Fig. 18).



There are numerous anatomical and physiological idiosyncrasies associated with the pineal. It is one of
the few solitary organs (most organs in the brain are paired, left and right). While small, the blood flow to the
gland is quite large. The pineal has been considered as a homologue of the reptilian ‘third eye’. Its
photosensitivity derives from neural connections with the retina (Figs. 12).
The Taoist practice of Orgasmic Upward Draw is very important to help stimulate the pineal gland.
Taoists regard the pineal as the second sexual gland(Fig. 19). In the Kan and Li practice, the steaming
process helps to clean out all of the organs and reactivate the thymus and pineal glands.

Fall from Grace
Nothing could be more natural than the state of Wu Chi, nothingness, or divine grace. And yet, the
realization of Wu Chi is clouded by obscurations and confusions. Consciousness streams into every body,
but only a few can see the light. Why is this so?
An essential function of the “upper brain”, the Upper Tan Tien, is to manifest the esoteric and divine
realizations of consciousness into our humanly bodies. Chi spirals through the Crown and the Third Eye
into the pineal and pituitary glands, sustaining existence and nourishing the spirit. Infants and children
bask in the glow and the power of the Chi Field streaming into, and interacting with, their bodies. The
psyche is vibrant and alive and the energy bodies communicate in non-physical dimensions.
As we grow older, however, the internal realities begin to fade and the external world begins to predominate
our existence. By puberty, the pineal gland has ossified into a calcified strand of tissue. Our
minds project outwardly, and the demands of existence (work, family, daily living, etc.) preoccupy our
awareness. Our emotions (fears, angers, resentments and all kinds of distractions to make ends meet)
reflect this outward movement of the psyche.
Fear is the oldest negative emotion. It is felt by all animals, and is even stronger among humans since
they have so little power to protect themselves, especially the newborn. The longer history required for
organic development makes fear the basis of the entire civilization process: to protect ourselves and
achieve our highest potential. Fear is closely connected to the kidney Chi (via the adrenal glands), and
when the kidney Chi is diminished, the brain slowly begins to pull back and disengage from the fantastic
worlds of the Divine. The upper brain becomes the observing brain, dedicated to the worldly tasks of
sending, receiving and processing sensory signals related to daily living.
Inhibiting the Divine
The transition from an internally focused awareness of the Divine, the natural state of infancy, to an
externally focused awareness of the adult World, requires significant shifts in the chemistry of the brain.
The tissues and molecules which normally manifest the consciousness of Wu Chi must be “turned off” or
inhibited. Chemically, the inhibitors are enzymes such as MAO (monoamine oxidase) which rapidly
convert seratonin into inactive by-products, thus disabling the synthesis of the spirit molecules. The
enzyme MAO breaks down seratonin before it can be converted into melatonin, 5-MeO-DMT and DMT
(Fig. 20).






Our usual perception of the world in waking consciousness is, in fact, a state of waking ignorance.
The brain must inhibit our true nature and divine connections to survive in the physical world. In everyday
life, we see everything back to front, as it were. We perceive the primary actions of the brain as providing
us with sensibility and cognitive awareness. In fact, the brain’s mechanism is to filter and shut off the flow
of divine consciousness, making possible survival on Earth, but obscuring all transcendental realities.
Dark Room meditations remove the obscurations. The inhibitory functions of the brain are lifted, and we
revel in the experience of Oneness, Wu Chi, the Original Source.
Reawakening – Spirit Molecules
Waking consciousness satisfies the demands of physical existence, but severs the connection from the
Divine. Thus, each night we must disconnect from the outer world and reconnect with our divine source,
thereby sustaining life and nourishing the soul. In adult life, the experience of Wu Chi is relegated to the
unconscious domains of deep sleep and the supernatural worlds of dream. In Taoist Inner Alchemy, we
reawaken the soul to the Immortal Tao, the Wu Chi, the Original Source, and bring back the Divine into our
conscious awareness.
Chemically, the reconnection to the Divine occurs by inhibiting the enzymatic actions of MAO and
INMT, so that seratonin can convert into melatonin and melatonin into the spirit molecules 5-MeO-DMT (5-
methoxy-dimethyltryptamine) and DMT (dimethyltryptamine) (Fig. 21). The enzymes are inhibited by substances
secreted in the pineal gland, such as harmaline and pinoline. The “spirit molecules” allow us to
reconnect to divine consciousness. They cause “color imagery, out of body experiences, lucid dreams,
visions of beings and/or animals, mystical states, subjective “other realities” and experiences of “being
somewhere else.” These states are the language of dream.
Fig. 21. Tryptamine Synthesis





In the Dark Room experience, the “spirit molecules” pinoline, 5-MeO-DMT and DMT alter the receiving
qualities of the brain. The brain “tunes in” to invisible worlds and parallel universes, like a television tuning
in to different channels. Mystical and near-death, out-of-body experiences reflect dynamic equilibria between
“channels” in which we experience the essential energy that courses through the receiver15.
When you reach the ‘DMT state’ you begin to function consciously from the various psychic centers or
chakras. The bodily processes of ‘Healing Love’ combine the human states of true compassion and sexual
arousal to create a new chemistry and a new vibration within the body. This ‘special’ vibration occurs at a
frequency of 8Hz. ‘As in the macrocosm, so it is in the microcosm’; hence if we make love, then all the cells
and DNA actually make love as well. The DNA crosses over, like two serpents intertwined in an erotic
embrace. You need the orgasmic vibration to arouse this crossover process which leads to the ‘two giving
birth to three’; the conception of new cells. The two vital states are compassion and arousal leading to
orgasm. Both are inextricably linked to love.
Immortal Body
Rick Strassman, based on several years of intensive medical research, proposes that the release of
DMT from the pineal gland at 49 days after conception marks the entrance of the spirit into the fetus. This
49-day prenatal period corresponds to the first signs of fetal pineal tissue, the differentiation of the gonads
into male and female, and the time between the death of an individual and its soul’s next rebirth according to
the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. He suggests that the individual’s life-force enters the body through the
pineal gland and leaves it through the pineal gland at death (see “DMT, The Spirit Molecule”, by Strassman,
and16. The infant’s brain is flooded with 5-MeO-DMT, secreted from the pineal gland and the brain is 40%
more active and open.

Benefits of Dark Room Experience


The Dark Room meditations will influence each person uniquely, depending on their maturity and stage of spiritual development. However, most people, even beginners, will receive great benefits, which
may include:

1. Relaxation. This is one of the foundations for all other work. During the first days of the retreat, catching up on sleep, allowing the eyes to recuperate from the over-stimulation of our visual world, releasing the grip of mental concerns, plans, and a agendas and simply letting the energies settle creates the best vacation you may ever have.

2. Once relaxed and feeling at home in the dark, the Inner Lights may appear as well as possible images of space teachers, deities, colors, and shapes. Imbalances in one’s energies can manifest as dull colors.

3. Over time, as one becomes more open, balanced and awake, images clear as day may appear, not inside the mind’s eye but outside in the space of the retreat.

4. Advanced practitioners may experience some of the following: Dreams and sleep become more lucid. A state of continuous consciousness arises in which there is no break in conscious awareness; meditation can continue during sleeping and non-sleeping hours.

5. The Taoist Secret of Love and the Healing Love become very active, so that working with sexual energies and engaging in creative work become easier and more powerful.

6. Dreams will often take the form of teachings or participation in great mythological stories.
The Dark Room enables the body and mind to undergo a series of profound transformations. The ‘states of consciousness’ appear correlated with the organic synthesis and accumulation of psychedelic chemicals in the brain, especially melatonin (Days 1 to 3), pinoline (Days 3 to 5), 5-MeO-DMT (Days 6 to8), and DMT (Days 9 to 12). The pharmacology of these states is as follows.

‘Melatonin Stage’ (Day 1 to 3)

Complete isolation from external light causes the pineal gland to flood the brain with the neurotransmitter melatonin (average 2 to 5 mg/day), manifesting initially as the need for sleep and rest. The eyes
recuperate from the over-stimulation of the visual world, releasing the grip of mental concerns, plans agendas, and letting the energies settle. Melatonin is essential for maintaining the hibernation state, which facilitates the emergence of spiritual consciousness. The person retains a child-like biological condition where melatonin is conserved and recycled, not wasted in biological continuation. When this substance works together with the yellow marrow in the bone, the reddish firing reaction will activate a gentle interaction between the sacred water and the light. The sacred waters are the inner fluids that are responsible for
producing bone marrow and other bodily fluids. The waters run not only in the in the center of the bones, but also in the spinal connections between the Crown and Perineum Points.


‘Pinoline Stage’ (Day 3 to 5)

After about three days, when melatonin concentrations reaches sufficient levels (15 to 20 mg) the body then begins to produce the superconductor pinoline, whereby a greater fluidity of thought and healing of the body starts to occur. Pinoline induces cell replication (mitosis) and intercalates with DNA molecules. The ‘pinoline stage’ is normally activated only in the womb, in lucid dreaming, or in near death experiences.
Within this state we can metaprogram the brain to the Unity of Self, heightening awareness of the pathways with which we filter reality. At this stage, the nervous system becomes aware of itself. We become aware of the hologram of the external world that we create constantly in our head24.

When the pinoline is triggered you activate your clairsentient and clairaudient powers. You may see light and visions, hear music, and gain phenomenal insight. A decoding of the DNA then begins to take place. Cosmic particles are attracted to us and decoded in the form of sound, light, knowledge and realization. The particles, which have the same cell structures as humans (and from which the Tao believes you evolved), are attracted to you magnetically. The body has approximately six trillion cells, which correspond to the universe ‘without’. Each of these cells can be seen as a computer with unlimited power and potential.
Each cell can become a super conductor, able to receive information from space. You are able to decode this universal information carried from outer space, which may be as old as nothingness itself. When you enter this primordial state or force you are reunited with the true self and divinity within. You literally ‘conduct’ the universal energy. You may see into the past and future, understand the true meaning of existence, and begin to understand the order of things. You return to the womb, the cocoon of our material structure and Nature’s original Dark Room.

‘5-MeO-DMT Stage’ (Day 6 to 8)

At this stage the pineal gland starts to produce the neuro-hormone 5-MeO-DMT (aka ‘akashon’). This
psychoactive tryptamine is highly luminescent and also extremely phosphorescent due to the amount of
phosphene that it transmits onto the visual cortex. 5-MeO-DMT switches on 40% more of the cerebral
cortex and awakens the nervous system to become aware of itself; ‘beingness’ results. Hence, the possibility
of metaprogramming the nervous system’s bio-computer - activating healing and conflict message assortment
of the nervous system. 5-MeO-DMT is the empathogenic neurotransmitter that expands the emotional
body between ‘infinity and zero’. It gives rise to telepathy in the emotional and intuitive bodies. It
engages the awakening of the ‘Flower of Life’, the spine, which begins to glow in a state of beingness and
peace.
5-Meo-DMT discharges the darkness from the darkroom. A bright light is activated and one experiences
a born-again mentality. This Great White Light, the manifestation of the astral body, enables the self
to project externally. At this point, some degree of ‘N-Methyl-D-Aspartare Inhibition’ (NMDA-I) usually
occurs. This is a ‘soft form’ of the slowing of the glutamate input signals into the cells. This makes it easier
for the nervous system to cause electrons to stop flowing within the cells, allowing for profound meditative
trance states. 5-MeO-DMT intercalates with messenger RNA. One can see in 3 dimensional Holon pictures,
as the thoughts behind language.
“Techniques taught in the Dark Room enable one to read and go beyond the matrix, by unifying all
directions, and externalize the soul computer so that one can start to interact with ones own genetic code
of the Tree of Life. In this intensive process 5-MeO-DMT activates the entire spine, the Tree of Life. The
spine is activated and reprogrammed and you can start to process the illusion of the dream from its binary
code into the unified translated Self: the Unity Self. Through 14 days of total light isolation your consciousness
can be expanded to the wider range of wave emanations and transduce the core hologram of reality
that is coherently programming ones nervous system to the Unity Self25.”
Many exercises will be practiced during this period: compacting Chi, consciousness and awareness
into the nervous system, working with the Silent Self and anchoring the Immortal Body.
The 5-MeO-DMT prepares the nervous system, through its empathetic state of being and self
awareness of the nervous system, for the DMT or dimethyltryptamine production of the pineal gland, in
psychoactive milligram doses.

‘DMT Stage’ (Day 9 to 12)

When DMT levels reach more than 25 mg, one’s experience can become very visual. DMT is the visual third eye neurotransmitter. It enables the energy body and spirit to journey into hyperspace, beyond third dimensional realms of time and space. It is intensely energizing. “After some 10-12 days one starts to see in infra red, and ultra violet, one can actually run across the room and touch a person, by seeing their heat patterns. The Holon Images exteriorize and one is walking in a Virtual Reality, which appears to be the DNA language macro uploaded, and interactive.”
When you reach the ‘DMT state’ you begin to function consciously from the various psychic centers or chakras. The bodily processes of ‘Healing Love’ are then combined with those of the Dark Room. The human states of true compassion and sexual arousal create a new chemistry and a new vibration within the body. This ‘special’ vibration occurs at a frequency of 8Hz. ‘As in the macrocosm, so it is in the microcosm’; hence if we make love, then all the cells and DNA actually make love as well. The DNA crosses over, like two serpents intertwining in an erotic embrace. You need the orgasmic vibration to arouse this crossover process which leads to the ‘two giving birth to three’; the conception of new cells. The two vital states are compassion and arousal leading to orgasm. Both are inextricably linked to love. When this ‘love-vibration’ reaches the pineal gland a new hormone is produced, which in turn creates whole body conductivity. Only when you feel the waves of orgasmic vibration and unconditional love for the self and others can the process be activated and the essence of the darkroom is magnified. At this stage of the Dark Room Retreat, the required amount of sleep tends to diminish dramatically.

Although the day may last 24 hours, 3 hours of sleep can seem like 12. During this period we will engage in further practices; psychic games and interactivity, Taoist Dream Yoga (advanced levels) and Imagination Expansion.

The Essence of All Be-ing

Consciousness can be defined as -

• the self awareness, inner sensibility or cognisance
of the processing of one's own existence -
• the aggregate, collective or Unified Field of the interplay
of all of the energies which make up all life.

The paradigm that consciousness may exist independently of the physical body is often widely disputed from all sides and often ridiculed. It may sometimes be tolerated under the label of religious freedom, but virtually all branches of science are evolving in the opposite direction: explaining our soul and Spirit.

Yet, there can be a synthesis or common ground where, by removing the seeming discrepancies and limitations in the words and languages used by science, mysticism, spirituality and religion, it can be seen that

Universal Consciousness is the interweaving thread - the tantra - a bridge which joins all forms of human endeavor with all and, with all states and forms of sentient and non-sentient existence.

This Universal Consciousness is
• the Essence of Who We are
• and the Synthesis of Life itself.

Layers of the Aura

1. Etheric Body

The Etheric Body extends out between 2-4 inches from the physical body is usually a shade of blue. The Etheric Body is the Etheric Map for the physical body holding the complete template of the Physical. When there is an imbalance in the Etheric Body the physical body will be directly impacted and be out of balance also.



2. Emotional Body

The Emotional Body extends out a further 4-6 inches from the Etheric Body, is quite colourful with a wispy cloud look. This is where we store our emotions and these can reflected back to us in the physical from here until we learn to heal them.



3. Mental Body

The Mental Body extends another 4-6 inches from the Emotional Body and can be yellow or bluish in colour. The Mental body holds our thought processes and when we are generating negative thought patterns, the colour of the aura in this layer will change to a darker, muddier yellow.



4. Spiritual Body

Often called the Causal body or Astral body. The Spiritual Body extends out another 4-6 inches from the Mental Body and highly coloured and rather beautiful, like Jacobs coat of many colours [perhaps this was what was being seen] the Spiritual Body is the connecting layer between the lower 4 bodies and the higher [including the physical] and the higher light bodies and it is also the Body where we hold love for ourselves, family and friends. When we are truly more accepting of ourselves a light pink hue may be seen.



5. Etheric Template Body

The Etheric Template extends out another 2-4 inches from the Spiritual Body. This is the mirror double of the Etheric Body holding the negative space of the Etheric Body. In this layer we align with the Divine Will and encouraged to speak our Truth willingly and live accordingly.



6. Celestial Light Body

The Celestial Light Body is a deeper shade of pink than the Spiritual Body and is the layer of universal love and compassion. It is here we learn to love mankind and devote ourselves to a greater understanding and forgiveness of all. This layer encourages us to realise and live with the knowledge that we are all connected and fear cannot exist if Love is all there is.



7. Ketheric Template

The Ketheric Template is seen as Gold Light, which is in fact a fine web [rather like a rutilated quartz]. This web is the web of our reality and creativeness. When we connect with this layer it allows us to see reality and the Divine Order of All, giving a deeper understanding of the lessons and lessening the illusion of separation.



The next layers are said to be:



8. The Memory Body

This layer interfaces with Karma and the Akashic records recording past, present and future karmic memories.It is also known as the “White Zone” and is connected with the crown of the head.



9. The Soul Body

The Ninth Layer is the Soul Level associated with the planes of existence between the worlds of Heaven and Now and is related to the soul Star Chakra [9th Chakra]. The Soul Body connects with our “oneness” and the Divine order of our pre-destined soul contracts.



10. The Integrative Body

The 10th layer serves as a pathway between the physical and spiritual relating to the 10th Chakra [Grounding Chakra]. This layer is also known as the “Dream body” which is able to separate itself from the physical body and enter into the astral realms. It is here we access data from our genetic and soul heritage and the imprint of our soul purpose.



11. The Eternal Body

The 11th Layer of the Eternal Soul is where we are transformed into our Light Bodies in preparation for Ascension.



12. The Universal Body

The 12th Layer of the Universal Body is pure Divine Consciousness and pure connection to the Divine Mind, the Ascended Masters, and Pure Unconditional Love within and without.

String and M-Theory Basics

Written for everyone by using visual descriptions, illustrations, and analogies to everyday life, SlipString Drive tackles our entire universe from before its creation until after its end. With a modification of M-theory gravity, it explains dark matter, dark energy, and the reasons behind the laws of physics. SlipString Drive begins by taking you through the basics of string and M-theories so that you can embark on an effectively “faster than light” voyage without violating the laws of physics. By using gravity waves to partially and completely isolate volumes of spacetime from the rest of our universe, author Andrew L. Bender proposes a method of travel—similar to going through a wormhole—that could be possible within fifty years. This method specifically avoids all the problems of paradox and time travel associated with nearly all other attempts at such travel. Time passes normally within the isolated region, like a wormhole, preventing any possibility of paradox. He also describes how gravity waves could be manipulated in order to travel in such a manner with strict adherence to the laws of physics.

In SlipString Drive, Bender describes how ships using this method of propulsion would appear to those outside of the ship’s partially “gravitationally isolated” region of space while maneuvering at slow speeds. Bender also discusses novel uses for such a vessel, such as saving humanity from comets to supernovae.

Bender then offers a “Membrane Theory of Gravity.” A modification of M-theory, this new theory unifies all forces, predicts dark matter and energy, and explains the reasons behind the laws of physics such as E=MC2. It also theorizes how "dark matter" membrane vibrations (left over from the creation of our universe) will be converted into dark energy (which accelerates our universe's expansion) as those vibrations relax and dissipate over time. This prediction, along with others, could prove modified M-theory correct observationally—a feat cosmology has yet to achieve. Finally, Bender hypothesizes how our universe will end, and answers the question: Must life in our universe be extinguished when our universe ends?

Quantum Consciousness and the Fifth Dimension

By Indi Riverflow




Our world view is largely a function of our location. The range of what we can experience and imagine is bounded by the culture that spawned us, and the place that we hold within it. Transcending locality is key to comprehending quantum consciousness.

The dynamic opportunities offered by the two dimensions of a page are amplified infinitely, when a third dimension is perceived, making a book, or perhaps a library. Similarly, the more aware of the dimensions that compose our reality we become, the more mastery we can have over the paradoxes of perception.

Who we find ourselves to be has a great deal to do with where we’re coming from. We can describe this in terms of latitude, longitude, and altitude, but also in terms of duration (chronitude) and personality forming experience, realitude.

So some of us live in a dimension where spirits are in active constant contact; others experience no such thing and judge the first class to be insane. To form a consensus reality, it is not necessary to reproduce results for an instrument; the reality is whatever we collectively consider it to be. This is why heretics, simply by representing an alternate viewpoint, are so dangerous to systems which depend on agreeing to an unverifiable perception.

If a geometric point, which theoretically has no dimension, is added to another dimensionless point, a line is generated, in one dimension. If this line is curved about to form a circle, we have two. Bring it into three dimensions, and not only do we have a sphere with an infinite set of points on the surface, but if the camera backs up far enough, that sphere slowly reverts to our original dimensionless point.

Just as a page has not only length and width but also an infinitesimal degree of height, the three dimensions of space also have a slice of time running through them. Because we are within it, we are generally only able to move in a single direction through time, at the subjectively variable rate of one second per second.

The mind is more flexible; memories can track back along the trail of a lifetime, and, in past-life regression, beyond. Perceiving the future is more difficult, and less certain, because we come from a line, but are headed for a sphere.

Thus the multiverse theory of quantum entanglement. All possible events transpire in all conceivable combinations, and every outcome occurs in one dimension or another. So in magic, one is not so much remaking the world to bring about a specific outcome, but propelling consciousness through an act of will into a realm where this has already been accomplished.

Shamanic traditions such as those described by Carlos Castaneda make good and deliberate use of this effect. According to Don Juan, our view of reality is fixed according to the position of an assemblage point in the middle of the spine, which approximates the heart chakra. To upset this fixation and induce a broader apprehension of the world, Don Juan strikes this spot, allowing Carlos to see the world of emanations.

So what is the ultimate validity of these supernatural visions? They have the validity we give to them. But our minds do not exist in isolation. For every intention, there is opposition. Magic is the art of defining intention in a way that transcends the frustration of it.

Understanding how we came to want this outcome in the first place is as important as expending energy to promote it. Even more important can be a careful consideration of hidden repercussions.

Otherwise, a spell for world peace could be manifested in the form of a catastrophe that leaves the world very quiet indeed.

Two monkeys from literature come to mind-appropriately enough, one dead and one alive. The Monkey’s Paw, by W.W. Jacobs, in which a wish-granting talisman results in the death of the protagonist’s family.

The other is The Hundredth Monkey, by Ken Keyes, Jr. Living monkeys appear to spread evolutionary advancements between isolated populations by unknown means.

So perhaps the real question is, which monkey do ya wanna be?

Akashic Records of October 2008

What energy and experiences can we expect in October of 2008?

The energy in October has a roundness to it. Many of you will experience this as a softening, but things are not actually becoming softer. Instead, you have become fuller, more rounded, more complete, and therefore challenges and experiences that arise do not feel as difficult or harsh. All of that being said, the primary energy of October 2008 is one of balancing or rebalancing. You will see events in your personal lives and on a global scale that help bring humanity into a new kind of balance. A balance based on the expansion that you have gone through over the course of the last four or five months.


The energy in October is also one of fullness. The sense of fullness in October also pertains to the experience of nourishment or fulfillment. It will be important for you to address the question of what nourishes you -- what in your life brings fulfillment -- and to turn your attention very specifically to those things.



If spending time with your family and loved ones brings you a sense of fulfillment, then be sure to spend time this month with family and loved ones. If accomplishing tasks and checking off a list of things completed gives you a sense of fulfillment, then lay out a plan for how you can get things done during the month of October. If spending time in nature brings you fulfillment, then arrange your schedule so that you have time to be a natural setting. Define for yourself what fulfills you and decide to have those things in your life regularly this month. October is a month in which to attend to your own physical, emotional, mental and spiritual nourishment. This is the final phase in the recent expansion cycle, and the way you will come into a new kind of balance.


Another thing you can expect in the month of October is to see some global events most likely in the form of natural disasters, large storms, the kinds of events that bring balance, that wipe away what is know longer necessary and make room for something new to be rebuilt. October's fullness has a tension to it but because you are coming to an end of an expansion cycle, you do not need to do anything with the tension. The tension is not leading you to a lesson or to something you need to fix or solve. Instead the tension is simply there because you have gotten bigger and now the world around you is adjusting to you, and you are adjusting to the world around you. Throughout the month of October, give yourselves patience and offer patience to those around you.


While it may be a challenging month for some, the primary experience available this month is one of fulfillment and one of grace. It is an experience of letting go of the fight or the struggle and relaxing into just being for awhile. As much as you can, give yourselves some gentleness. When you have an opportunity to argue or stand for something, sit back and choose to just let it be instead; choose not to argue, choose not to debate. Find a way to engage with people and with experiences in which you are not fighting for anything at all, but in which you stay connected. That is the challenge for October 2008.


How can we best work with this energy in October?
Aside from the things that we said, engaging the offering of grace during October will help you expand into the fullness that is available for you. This month is a good time to remember that in many endeavors, the more relaxed you are, the more efficient you can be. Whereas if you get yourself wrapped up in tension or conflict, you only slow your own process of fulfillment. This wisdom is more true this month than ever before. Engaging the idea of grace can help you maintain a mindset of relaxation. It can help you move with what comes and let go of resistance. One way some of you might think of this is to consider the image or example of Jesus Christ. You could also consider Mother Theresa, or Lao Tzu, or Saint Francis, or any other Masters, spiritual leaders, and teachers who are known for their compassion and for their ability to walk into an every day human situation and bring a perspective of grace and compassion.


In October, consider that you could be the embodiment of one of these teachers -- that you could walk into any given situation and with the calmness of your mind, the openness of your heart and the gentleness of your touch you could bring grace to the situation. Play around with this a little bit. Play with actually exerting this sense of grace in your everyday life. When you walk into a room, choose to hold this sense of grace and tenderness in your heart and see what happens. Moving through Enlightenment means claiming your divine self -- your divine self is that teacher, your divine self is that master. At your highest level, you are all the same and you have that degree of love, patience and understanding. You do not need to fight for it or force it to happen, you just simply allow the energy of this month to invite you home to that energy and that way of being. It is part of who you are. You have been working so hard to remember your divinity. This month, you can actually live with your divinity; you do not have to work so hard for it.


Are there any important days or power days during October that would help us to know about?
Yes. October 10 is like the heart of the month. The life force and vitality of the energy of the month is centered on October 10. It will be useful for you to really seek an opportunity to love yourselves, to share your love, to open your heart, and to cherish life on October 10. Actively choose to avoid any experience that would be detrimental to you or your well being, to your sense of goodness within yourselves. October 10 is a day for honoring and for loving and that has to start with you as an individual. Once you love yourself, you will naturally release it to everyone else throughout the rest of the month.


October 12 has a different energy. October 12 is a day of productivity. It will be a day that it will serve you to be out in the world to share your thinking, energy, thoughts, ideas and feelings with those around you. October 12 is not a day for isolation; it is a day for social connection.


October 15 has a much simpler energy or a more simple potential. You can actually get things done on the physical plane. It is a day when you are going to come back to earth, but not in a heavy-handed way. It will serve you to focus on simple tasks one thing at a time. There is a lot of energy swirling around during this month because of that fullness and the potential for collective experiences, disasters, and transitions. October 15 is somehow a day where you will all be served in just taking one thing at a time, boiling life down into the simplest of tasks. This will help you move with all of the energy of the rest of the month.


October 17 through October 21 offer a Stargate. It is a window of opportunity for you to connect with Spirit. This series of days would be a good time for you to use your spiritual practices, whether they are personal like meditation or whether they are collective like attending mass or synagogue. There is a potency and a need for you to engage your spiritual practices during this window of time.


October 30 is like the cherry on top of the greater expansion cycle you have just moved through. The expansion cycle initiated in May and the expansion really began toward the end of June. On October 30 everything comes to a completion for this cycle. As you approach October 30, take care of any unfinished business, complete any unfinished tasks, and have any conversations that you have been putting off. The end of October is vitally important for you to finish anything that is left hanging. On October 30 and 31 have a celebration. Look back at what you have accomplished, look back at how you have changed in the last six months and celebrate it. Write it down and rejoice in how you have grown and what you have learned, or throw a party with your friends and loved ones. This is an excellent time for celebration.


Is there anything else the Keepers want to tell us about October 2008?
For many of you, life will feel easier during October. It is important to take note that while vigilance is no longer required, complacency will not serve you. While you do not need to fight for things, remain open and active in October. While you will not need to be so vigilant about every learning experience and everything you feel or see, you will continue to get new information and to encounter new challenges. Find a way to have active rest during October of 2008 in which you continue to engage with life, but you do everything with more gentleness.


Do not rush or push yourselves but keep moving, looking and trying new things. It will serve you as you come into the future months to have stayed awake during October. There is so much to be integrated -- so much joy and wisdom -- and if you will stay awake and active during October you will find that all of that is more available for you moving forward than otherwise would be. Enjoy the fulfillment of the month. Nourish yourselves and embrace the sense of peace that is available this month.
It is yours; you have earned it!

Above is the Looking Ahead version of the Message, channeled over one month in advance. Below is the Monthly Update, channeled several days before the month begins.


What can you tell us about the presidential elections in the United States and how they will be influenced by the energy of October 2008?
The energy being held during the month of October 2008 is one of fullness. This fullness can be stabilizing if you choose to make it so, but it is not inherently stabilizing. Some of you will feel more stabilized by it, but many more of you will feel pressured. It is not that there is really energetic pressure building, it is more that you have all gotten so much bigger. You have a stronger connection with your inner truth and a stronger connection with your human family. Most of you have not really yet really seen how both of those are bigger and you really have not figured out how to be having such connections. What you feel now is the energy of all that.


The U.S. presidential election offers an opportunity for you to figure out how to be yourself with a stronger connection to Spirit and to your fellow human beings. Even if you are outside the U.S., you may find yourselves feeling strongly about the U.S. presidential election and feeling drawn to speak about it, think about it, and express your feelings about it. The U.S. presidential election this year is different from previous years in that you have a more distinct choice between holding onto the old or stepping into the new than you ever have before. Inevitably the human family is progressing forward. Together you are all stepping into the light. Regardless of who the U.S. citizens vote for and who wins the election (because those two things might not be exactly the same!), the human family will continue to progress toward the light.


Your calling in regard to the U. S. presidential election this year is to find a way to become bigger than the fears, the battles, and the ideologies that are presented to you in regard to the campaigns. Your calling is to choose to have your love and your light be bigger than duality.


This year's presidential election holds more pressure than previous election years. That is the influence of this energy in October. It is the influence of the expansion cycle you have gone through in the last five months that you are completing now, but are still in. The expansion cycle is based on you being a bigger version of yourself in the world; of you putting an end to hiding, running away, or denying you have done in the past. This is the reason you are feeling like this may be bigger than you may have felt about these kinds of things before. Essentially, the presidential election gives you an opportunity to grapple with duality. The only way to grapple with duality is to recognize it and to resolve it inside yourself. There will be no use in arguing about the political campaign in the U.S. It will not serve you to try to hold one side against another side. When you do that you are celebrating duality and holding it in place -- you are feeding it energy. Instead, the best way to handle this rising sense of passion, investment or connection to the presidential campaign in the U.S., the best way to work with this, is to surround yourself and everyone around you in grace. Surround yourself with a sense that everything will be fine no matter who wins the race. The human race will continue to progress forward toward the light.


Any system that is out of integrity or out of alignment will continue to unravel and fall apart. If there is something that you see in government or politics that concerns you, or that happens to be out of integrity, it will bring up fear for you. If you hold onto that fear and try to fight for something different to happen, you will to lose the sense of your own power. The best way to deal with the changes unraveling before you is to remain true to the sense that you are moving toward the light and you are helping everyone around you toward the light. When you find yourself engaged in a political argument, take a few steps back in your mind and consider that everyone is right from their own perspective. The best thing you can do is to bring humor, grace, compassion and a willingness to listen and try to understand one another. That approach utilized across the U.S. is going to heal you through the process of this election rather than harm you through the process of this election.


The U.S. election campaigns are bringing up a sense of the inner shadow. Whether you are for one side or the other in the battle, what you are dealing with inside of yourselves is the sense of your hopes and your dreams being up against your shadow side. Your fears, worries, anger, repression, and denial are battling within you as individuals. That is really what this is all about. When you feel fear, let that fear move you outward and help you connect with people around you. When you feel fear, do not let it convince you that other people are against you or that other people will not understand you. Instead, let that fear come out and share it with others; bring it to the light, put it on the table, tell your loved ones that you feel afraid when you see something happening in government. As you share that with one another you are able to dissolve that fear and hold one another in love.


That is the gift that lies in potential during the entire month of October. It is a challenge -- a gift that requires you to rise to the challenge of choosing love over politics, choosing love over duality. It will be challenging, full, and rich; and there is a sense from the Keepers that they are very excited for all of you to go forward and do it. Choose to act with love and kindness in the midst of the illusion of duality.


There is said to be a huge event coming up on October 14 where a spaceship will appear over major cities for three days so that there is no mistake about the friendliness of UFOs toward humanity.
Will this take place on October 14?
Contact between human beings and beings from other worlds is already happening and has been happening for a very long time. It happens a great deal on a spiritual or energetic plane. You are visited by what you might call extra-terrestrials in the form of Spirit all of the time. At some level, you can say that Angels and Spirit Guides are extra-terrestrials right? They are from outside this world. Then there is a huge spectrum of beings who do what you call "visit" Planet Earth. Their energy becomes available for you here on Planet Earth. All of you have a spirit that is holographic and expansive and is occasionally visiting other worlds in Spirit, as well. Often your human minds block out any stimulation that would give evidence that this is happening because it is confusing for a human mind to encounter something that does not fit into expectations of reality -- something that is from outside of this world of familiarity.


Of course, every human being has a unique threshold in regard to the unfamiliar. Some people are able to comprehend something beyond what is familiar, then reach toward it until it becomes familiar, and then reach again for what is unfamiliar beyond that. For those people, seeing physical evidence of extra-terrestrial visitors will occur more often and more easily. There are what you would call spaceships but they are not as literal as you want them to be. When people sense something from outside of this world, they make sense of it. The human mind is really brilliant at taking stimulation and input and categorizing it so that it makes sense. If something does not make sense or cannot be categorized, it just gets ignored or explained away. If something can be made sense of, then it is allowed to be remembered and considered. That is how some people see spaceships and others do not. That is how two people can be standing on the same street corner and one sees something and the other does not. This kind of contact is happening all of the time in both Spirit and physical realities.


The event planned for October 14 is a direct result of a shift occurring for humanity on October 12. The shift on October 12 seems to be an opening of a connection between the human heart and the human mind. This is something that is related to the Mayan experience. The Mayan civilization was expert at the heart-mind connection. Part of what was accomplished during the ancient Mayan civilization was the building of an illusion of the separation between the heart and the mind, which has made human life very interesting. Part of what is happening now is that there is a reconnection of the heart and mind. This is happening over and over again in all kinds of different ways, and there a collective event on October 12 in which the heart and the mind are able to make a connection collectively.


Some of you will experience this collective connection and some of you will not, perhaps because you are not ready for it or you are not interested yet. It will be available for all of humanity to have your heart and your mind come into alignment in a way that was not possible before. This means that your mind will be able to comprehend things that only your heart could feel before. Your heart will be able to infuse your thoughts more readily than before. It will become easier after October 12 to see the world through the Eyes of Love. (For more on this, please visit Ascension Radio and listen to "Through the Eyes of Love: Making Everything Easy.
")

When that happens, so many of you will step into that sense of love that a new level of comprehension will become available. Of course there is choreography amongst all of the different beings on Planet Earth. Of course when the human race decides something, all of the other beings across the universe are aware of that decision and act accordingly. This is the reason you are predicting a visit from extra-terrestrials. Many are gathering in support of your collective shift.


For thousands of years as human beings have been planning for this event on October 12, for your hearts to come into alignment with your minds, the universe has set up an opportunity for you to start playing with this new connection. That is what your seers and your prophets are seeing as the potential for October 14. The answer is yes, the equivalent of spaceships over the major cities across the world from October 12 to October 15 is firmly in place. This is not unusual; this happens all of the time. The difference is that more of you will be able to sense it or see than ever before. There is something important here to know, which is that many of you will not see it because you do not want to, your minds are not yet ready or your life path does not involve interacting with extra-terrestrial life, so do not worry if you do not see this.


Another thing to know is most of you who do see this will not see it as a physical spaceship. You have been using this word "spaceship" because it is the best word you have to help you imagine life beyond Earth. A spaceship means a physical thing like an airplane or rocket ship and this is not that; this is a spiritual gathering; this is energy and it is energy that can be embodied -- just like some people sense Angels in the room and others can actually see them. Some of you will sense this and some of you will actually see it and it is just as real either way. Do not get locked into an expectation that you will see something that you expect. Do not imagine what a spaceship looks like and then look for that.


Instead, first on October 12 really look at your heart and what you love. Really look around the world and try to see everything through the Eyes of Love. Imagine that you are someone like Jesus Christ, Muhammad, Buddha or Mother Theresa. Imagine that you are the most loving person and imagine how you would see the world and how that compassion would color everything that you see. Spend time on this day meditating on those people, animals, places, and experiences that you love most. Let them fill your heart with love.


Then on October 13, 14, and 15, spend your time daydreaming or looking at the sky. Allow your eyes to simply see what you see. It likely will not be a spaceship in the way that you expect; it will be something far more magical and interesting than that. Each of your minds will perceive it differently because that is the beauty of being separate and it will serve you to share stories with one another. It will serve you to read about what others see, but do not read so that you can check to see if you saw the same thing and therefore if you are right. Instead read, listen and share so that you can build a bigger picture through each of your perspectives. More than anything, with these unknown or previously unseen dimensions, your interpretations will color what you see more than it would for things that are expected or agreed upon. With this experience, each of you is going to see all kinds of things and all of them will be true.


With this being said, in some places, events will occur that bring you to the same collective experience of love. Some cities will be distracted by events that lead you to look for love in one another instead of from outside the planet. This is all part of the potential you have built - it is all part of your collective path to bring your minds back to your hearts, and your hearts to your minds. If you are part of these events, continue to strive to see the love that infuses every human life. Allow your hearts to break open and make room for a bigger sense of love than you have ever felt before. This is the ultimate potential in the events planned for October 12 through October 15.


We have been told that a Stargate would open on October 17 -21.
What star system would that come through and how would that affect us?
The Stargate that will open between the 17th and 21st is related to the star Arcturus and the benevolent beings it supports, and the Stargate is opening as a resource for humanity to provide you with a sense of support. They are talking about support like a building supports itself. If a tower is beginning to crumble, you might build supporting structures around it to hold it up -- it is that kind of support. Your outdated and insufficient systems are crumbling, and you can use this energetic support to rebuild a sense of love and faith in your everyday lives at this time. The energy that will pour into the reality of Planet Earth is a deep, grounded, shimmering blue color and many of you will feel a sense of reassurance during this time.


Many of you will sleep a lot more between the 17th and the 21st, and many of you will also be eating a lot more during those days. It is a good time to replenish yourselves and a time to recharge your batteries, so to speak. The Stargate is opening as a gift from the Arcturians to support all of the massive changes that occurred for humanity since the spring of 2008. It has just been a really intense time and by the time the Stargate opens you are likely to have seen some collective events that are even more challenging. It is likely there will be more hurricanes in the United States and other kinds of storms across the world. The Stargate is situated to provide support after you have all been through difficulties on a personal and collective level. You might reserve these days to be days when you have time to sleep or when you do not need to perform too much, or you have time to just take care of yourselves. It is a very magical, supportive and loving Stargate.


Is there anything else the Keepers would like to say before we close the Records?
There is so much fear coming to the surface at this time for people in the U.S. and across the world. It seems as if it is based on the presidential elections, but the elections are simply providing a doorway so that you can bring it all up and resolve it. The campaigns are not causing it; they are showing you where your fear arises from within you so that you can take accountability for it. You can bring it up into the light and you can heal it. Fear is healed through connection with one another. Fear is healed when you choose love. The best thing you can do is to recognize what you fear on a daily basis through the month of October. When you recognize it, ask yourself how you can choose love in the situation and how can you share this with someone you trust. Isolation feeds fear; connection dissolves it. Use that as a rule of thumb for yourselves. Continue to rise to the challenge to choose love. That is the most important thing you can do during this very challenging but very exciting month of October.
