Hemi-Sync® Journal 2002-4 (Fall)

OPENING THE HEART series, at my office initially and then almost daily at home each morning. The particular ses- sion I'd like to present involved the client's being “connected” (Chaikin 2001) to a medical student, instead of myself. Her task was to send a message to the student, to demonstrate for herself how we relate at different vibratory levels. When in Awareness Naveiss. self Sv cviva| Fear Levels of. --- PAGE 4 (OCR) --- HEMI-SYNC® JOURNAL, Focus 21 (utilizing the GATEWAY EXPERIENCE, Wave VIL, Introduction to Focus 21), the client reported “a dream or image” from C1 reality “where I saw the student riding a motorcycle. It was a Harley.” The student, who was himself dealing with role and identity issues stated, “I always wanted a motorcycle, but was unable to get one.” When asked what kind, he replied, “A Harley.” He then proffered that while in 21, he had “kept having an image of the patient as a young girl jumping rope joyfully.” G.V. reported that she worked with the OPENING THE HEART CDs each morning and her “experience of joy and love was being projected to the student” as her assigned task. The client said, “I never rode a motorcy- cle, don’t know anyone who owns one, nor have any desire for one.” G.V. found the connection with the student “very vali- dating of her spiritual work and her search for compassion.” Awareness ight and Wreng me The next week, upon returning for her appointment, she dis- closed that “as a child I was happy, carefree, and was always jumping rope” and laughed. The next case, B.W., is a forty-three-year-old man, fol- lowed for depression and obsessional anxiety associated with significant obesity. No modality attempted had been able to relieve this gentleman's symptoms. He had been involved in psychotherapy, an eating disorders program, and biofeedback, and he was taking medication with minimal success. One day, after being told about my own despair and subsequent tran- scendence by connecting to spirit, B.W. revealed that he had a deep conviction regarding his faith that he had never told to anyone. We discussed Hemi-Sync and I suggested an experi- ence, which he readily accepted. After an introduction to cen- tered calm (OPENING THE HEART, disc 1), we continued with disc 2 in the second session. During the time when the instruction was given to extend love, the therapist went to Focus 12 to interact with the client. Through the imagery of the Energy Bar Tool, I intuited an anomaly in the client’s crown chakra. A regimen using the mental construct of Dolphin Energy was initiated to revitalize the system. Upon returning to C1, the client was asked how his experience had gone. For the first time since treatment had begun, B.W. smiled and said: “Nothing! I wanted to try too hard, then I experienced for the first time being totally relaxed. I suddenly understood everything you've been trying to tell me about con- trol of my mind. I’m not going to quit. This is the first time I know that I’m smart enough. I feel happy. I feel like I can do this.” The therapist embraced the client and said, “Once the door is open you can never go back. The only way is up.” B.W. left happy and grateful saying, “This is what I always wanted.” The client continues to feel significantly better. In “Enhanced Intuitive Psychotherapy” I also talked about being able to use Hemi-Sync to coordinate states of con- sciousness—in effect, reading my client’s thoughts. I’ve expe- rienced many things that defied ordinary explanation and led to a deeper understanding of who I am. The other day a client Tl call C.J. came in, and we were working with the GOING HOME series—touring the Interstate of Consciousness. We were coming back from Focus 27 to 22. When CJ. came out into C1 he looked very concerned and said, “You know, I feel like I brought something back from between Focus 27 and 22.” He wouldn't say anything more. So I gave him my copy of Wave 7 with Focus 21 and said, “Go back and take a look. See if something stands out and e-mail me tomorrow.” I did- n't hear from him the next day. By the second day, I started to worry and e-mailed CJ. about 2:40 P.M. I got an immediate response stating that he was e-mailing me at that very moment. He went on to say that he had played cards with his daughter the night of our session and he won every hand! I said, “Boy, that’s unusual.” He replied, “I felt like I knew every --- PAGE 5 (OCR) --- HEMI-SYNC® JOURNAL card that was in her hand.” I said, “I guess you brought back a gift, maybe a piece of your Higher Self.” In each of these moments—and there are a lot of them when I’m working with hemispheric synchronization with my clients—I ask, “What am I supposed to do with his?” They don't fit any of my pre- viously learned models that I’m using as a psychiatrist. The last case I’ll call, “Physician, heal thyself.” After all the clinical experiences and all the times I've asked myself, “And what am I supposed to do with shis?!” I decided to take my own advice. It was November of 2001 and I had returned to TMI for the LIFELINE program. Exploration of my Higher Self, using Hemi-Sync, had slowed down to an occa- sional early morning exercise either receiving guidance or reconstructing what might be called, “a prior life.” About a week before LIFELINE, I was working with METAMUSIC Visitation. In the process of returning to C1, I heard the name “Ari” spoken loudly. I knew I had heard that name before, a number of years ago, while studying kabbalah. Going to The Monroe Institute made me determined to find the roots of this recurrent theme I'd encountered in physical reality as well as altered states of consciousness. At LIFELINE, during the review period in Focus 21, I encountered the Ari—Isaac Luria, a fifteenth-century kabbalistic rabbi. He became my new internal guide for the investigation of higher Focus states. He assisted me to find out more about who I am and what my purpose is, beyond the boundaries of my smaller, separate sense of self. As LIFELINE advanced to Focus 23 and 25, my know- ing deepened, culminating in a retrieval of a part of my-Self constrained in Focus 23. With this new insight into the nature of my makeup, many older limiting questions about my life and about life in general began to dissolve within the process of transcending and including—leaving me with a feeling of connection to Higher Self Purpose, a healing of the self. In therapy, as in life, we must all continue to grow, tran- scend, and include. This leads to a healing of the self. One must not fall into the trap of the Pre~Trans Confusion so well delineated by Ken Wilber. We need robust egos to get on the bus, the path to our Higher Selves, but it will be our egos that keep us from getting off the bus when we arrive at the desti- nation of universal consciousness. A significant pitfall is the tendency to become so enamored of the path that we miss where we are going. This tendency is so common in Zen Buddhism that they have a saying, “Don't mistake the finger pointing at the moon for the moon.” The goal of healing is to go through the Gateless Gate, the Boundaryless Boundary, beyond technique and the concepts of illness and cure. Only when we move beyond ego, beyond boundaries, will we encounter the true essence. Hemi-Sync is the key to the gate for our day and age. It is a practice that is efficient, consistent, repeatable, and rapid. I now Know what I’m “supposed to do with /dis.” “I am more than my physical body. Because 1 am more than physical matter . . .” Bibliography Atwater, F.

He has thirty-five years of experience in --- PAGE 6 (OCR) --- Fall/Winter 2003 teaching college students and is the author of three college textbooks.

He has been a member of the Professional Division since 1990, has participated in our Dolphin Energy Club distant healing group since its inception, and recently took part in TMI; first REMOTE VIEWING PRACTICUM—led by F Holmes “Skip” Atwater and Carol Sabick During the REMOTE VIEWING PRACTICUM con- ducted at The Monroe Institute during the week of September 28 to October 4, twenty-four double-blind, independently judged, remote-viewing trials were conducted “for the record” as an integral part of the educational program. The viewer-monitor-judge exercise was well suited to sta~ tistical analysis. In this exercise, twenty-three participants (plus trainer Carol Sabick) were divided into eight teams of three each. One person in each team was assigned the task of viewer, monitor, or judge for round one. In round two, roles switched within the teams, and in round three, roles switched again so that each person served once in each role. The targets were twenty-four pictured locations (different for cach of the twenty-four trials) sealed within opaque envelopes. Viewers and monitors from each team were instructed to “describe the location in the envelope at the time the picture was taken.” The monitor tried to follow guidelines set up for monitors to help the viewer access the target infor- mation, all the while being blind to the target. The judge received the descriptions and sketches of the target provided by the viewer and monitor. Upon completion of the remote viewing, each judge took these descriptions and sketches—along with the sealed enve- lope—to Atwater, who provided a sheet of four photos (a dif- ferent set was used for each of the twenty-four trials). One of the photos matched the target; the other three were shams. The judges, who were not otherwise involved with the remote- viewing process, were to use the “police lineup” method to compare qualitative descriptions and sketches provided by the viewers and monitors with the four locations pictured. The judges were asked to score first-, second-, third-, and fourth- place matches. Once the decision was made, the opaque envelope was opened to reveal the target photo. Judges were instructed to tell the monitors and viewers if they were able to first-place match their descriptions to the target photo or not. The judges were not allowed to provide information about the nontarget photos. Also, groups were instructed not to discuss their tar- gets with other groups. The aim was for a judge to match the target with a first-place rank. The viewer-monitor-judge exercise described above al- lowed the use of a binomial test to calculate the odds against the results obtained occurring by chance. Binomial distribution probabilities were as follows: First round — eight trials; two first-place matches (chance expectation)
