rations have led them to an awareness of their true essential self, and it is this that they experience as Divine. _... This, sheds new light on the Biblical injunction, “Be still, and know that I am God.” It does not mean, “Stop fidgeting around and recognize that the person who is speaking to you is the almighty God of all creation.” It makes much more sense as an encouragement to still the mind, and know, not as an intellectual understanding but as a direct realization, that the “I am” that is your essential self, the pure consciousness that lies behind all experience, is God. This concept of God is not of a separate superior being, existing in some other realm, overlooking human affairs, and loving or judging us according to our deeds. The Divine is in each and every one of us, the most intimate and undeniable aspect of ourselves. It is the light of consciousness that shines in every mind. Like traditional concepts of God, the light of conscious- ness is omnipresent. Whatever your experience, whatever you are thinking, perceiving, feeling, consciousness is always there. As the saying goes, “Wherever you go, there you are.” It is eternal. What takes place in consciousness changes all the time, but the beingness behind it, like the light inside a film projector, never changes. And it is universal. The same light shining in every sen- tient being. --- PAGE 4 (OCR) --- HEMI-SYNC® JOURNAL In the words of the ninth-century Zen master, Huang Po: This pure Mind, the source of everything, Shines forever and on all with the brilliance of its own perfection. But the people of the world do not awake to it, Regarding only that which sees, hears, feels and knows as mind, Blinded by their own sight, hearing, feeling and knowing, They do not perceive the spectral brilliance of the 6 source of all substance. 2002 PROFESSIONAL SEMINAR Laurie Monroe debrief: tape exercise during 2000 Professional Seminar.

ABSTRACT: Reports of Peak and Other Experiences During a Neurotechnology- Based Training Program This study examined the nature of self-reported peak and other powerful experiences during a six-day residential, neu- rotechnology-based training program. There were 160 partici- pants (81 males, 79 females), of whom 121 reported seventy- five types of peak and other experiences. Neurotechnologies are methods and devices that purportedly enhance mental func- tioning by entraining brain-wave patterns, often producing a psychophysiological state of hemispheric synchronization. Research on peak and other powerful experiences was reviewed in Part 1 and an overview of neurotechnologies was given. Part 2 described the study methodology and the results, including short- and long-term aftereffects of the GATEWAY VOYAGE program and the meaning of the experiences for the partici- pants.
