The work I experienced with the “psychic healer” put me in touch with deeply buried feelings of sadness, shame, fear, guilt, alienation, inadequacy and self hatred...What we call The Shadow.
At the root of Samkhya the most ancient basis of Yoga philosophy, is the promise of “the total, final, complete, permanent annihilation of suffering”.Dukkah “a bad mental state”, the Sanskrit word for suffering, is also translated as alienation and disenchantment. These definitions point to the fundamental nature of dukkah.
I translate dukkah as ontological terror and understand this root experience as one of separation from Being…alienation from our inherent Divinity…
Well-being… our natural state… describes a molecular state of attunement to nature and the cosmos.
Babbitt's micro-clairvoyant vision of an atom as a vibrating energy field
A Well To Being
Every atom, molecule and cell of our bodies…when looked at from an energetic perspective… is a field, which when coherent (a Sattvic state of Soul Communion) is a well to Being.
When we are in our natural sattvic state of Soul Communion we feel “wonderful” and “grateful”. Filled with the wonder and the greatness of Being, our inherent Divinity.
When we lose our sattvic entrainment we experience ontological terror… disenchantment, alienation, shame, guilt, fear and insecurity… which we can call the shadow or the abyss.
Well-Being is molecular…an experience of our natural state of attunement to the Source.
When we loose this center, we fall into the black hole of nothingness, lost in the abyss, the void.
Our inadequacy in the face of our insignificance vs the abyss... is experienced as extreme vulnerability, terror, shame, inadequacy, guilt, etc, etc.
The source of our pain, is not psychological
Sages explain that the source of our pain, is not psychological in the conventional sense, emotional, or biographical…but spiritual… a disconnect from Being.
This alienation from Nature, is a dropping out of attunement from our natural state of enchantment.. of Great-fullness and Wonder-fulness as we commune with BEING.
Meditation and the eight sattvic legs of Yoga…Union with our Divine Self…promise to facilitate a molecular transformation to our natural state of attunement to Being.
The efficacy of Yoga Psychology has been demonstrated over thousands of years to restore our natural state of Soul Communion… wellbeing and gratefulness.
In our upcoming Zoom workshop, we will be sharing a powerful pranayama technique of chakra balancing through mantra yoga to facilitate an etheric sound bath to reestablish our connection to Being.
A sattvic lifestyle is the key to your very own total, final, complete, permanent, annihilation of suffering.
Believe me, it works! And it’s available to you!

An Alternative To A Hip Replacement? #1
Last fall I started feeling “sensations” in my leg, I would check to
make sure there was no insect or worse crawling up my leg…But soon
realized it was my nervous system…It wasn’t too bad, So I lived with it.
In the weeks and months that followed it progressed to a constant
aching especially in the evening when it would become quite pain-full.
I had been a constant witness to my wife's complaints and her choice to
get a hip replacement a couple of years back… including the fact that
she was still dealing with pain on a daily basis more than a year after
her “successful” operation.
I first visited a wise acupuncturist, who diagnosed my problem as a
“Gallbladder meridian” issue, and my pain was cured after one treatment.
I realized I had been having eye problems, (a symptom of a Fire element
imbalance.) in recent years and a taxed my Gall Bladder daily by
slathering ghee on everything I ate and downing an oily avocado daily.
Testing this hypothesis, revealed a sharp pain returning in the evening
after an avocado toast treat.
I was off to India for the Winter and did not return for additional
Acupuncture treatments. In India I saw a”Siddha” doctor who prescribed
micronutrients and pressed a series of marma points…But in a couple of
days my symptoms returned. I checked into an Ayurvedic center for two
weeks of a very simple diet, daily oilation massage from two young
energetic lads and an hour daily of Yoga NIdra. In classic
naturopathy, you simply remove the insults, and the body heals itself.
But Ayurveda was a disappointment and my symptoms reappeared in-spite of
my sattvic life style.
But the two weeks in the serene seaside setting, gave me time to
contemplate what I call the medical intuitive “Carolyn Myss’s first law
of Chronic Disease”…All chronic disease is rooted in an issue of
personal power.
I realized that I was not taking responsibility for the emotional basis
of my pain…The Gall Bladder in traditional Chinese medicine is
associated with decision making, frustration and anger.
Frustration had been a constant in my childhood as I dealt with a
physically abusive older brother who was hobbled by sibling revelry. In
mid life I experienced powerlessness vis-a-vie the politics of living in
a community environment, and the profound frustration we all feel of
caring about the state of our planet.
Most recently I got myself into an excruciating emotional bind, moving
my family to Arcata into an unfinished remodeling, that was going
painfully slowly and was painfully expensive. Dealing with my experience
of the emotional pressure from my family to meet their needs,
throughout the move and slow remodeling for what was essentially my
decision had been quite a journey in frustration and challenges to
patience and equanimity on all our parts.
As the remodeling was still ongoing I had to look deeply into my
attitude. I realized that for all my constant attempts to “push the
river”…the Universe had taken wonderful care of me and had consistently
actualized a life that was so much better than anything I could have
dreamed off!
My resolve is to surrender to the universe, to trust Totality. So this
is my mantra…Trust Totality…Any time I find my mind in frustration,
fear, or worry.. I use these thoughts as a reminder to Trust Totality…
My prayer…that I be guided to the inspiration and wisdom to cultivate
bodily comfort, bodily ease, health and wellbeing.
Of course I appreciate that it will take a strong commitment to counter a
lifetimes confused and contradictory mental and emotional impulses, and
the presence of this armoring in the energy, tissue and emotional
posture of my body. OH! I wish I had a Polarity Therapist to work with!
If you trained with me and your around Arcata... Please give me a call
about a trade.
I am looking forward to our annual Polarity Diet as a powerful liver/gallbladder cleanse once the weather begins to warm up.
So after a Google search for Gallbladder Meridian Self Help… I am doing a
series of daily stretches and tonics and Goddess willing that empower
me to take 100% responsibility for my health…Yes I am pain free again!
Thanks to Totality for guidance to this multidimensional approach, it
looks like I have avoided going under the surgical knife of the medical
industrial complex…Goddess Bless, Bruce
The doctrine of “The Supremacy of Intelligence”...
Autopoiesis…self creating…is the term Humberto Maturana, the Chilean biologist uses to describe the definitive characteristic of life.
Every atom, molecule, cell and living organism of creation is a
cybernetic field of energy maintaining its definitive state of
homeostasis.
This cybernetic process of homeostasis…the ability to learn...to
integrate experience into expression... is the very definition of
“intelligence“.
Self Creation describes an intelligent living organism's ability to recreate itself vis a vie its environment.
A constant emphasis of the ancient East Indian Upanishads is to define
the stuff of the cosmos as INTELLIGENCE and INTELLIGENCE ONLY! The
Upanishads are revered as the pinnacle of the ancient esoteric teachings
of India. In the Brhad-aranyaka Upanishad (which is considered to be one of the most important of the Upanishads), the sage Yajnavalkya explains:
“As a mass of salt is without inside, without outside,
is altogether a mass of taste, even so, verily, is this Self without
inside, without outside, altogether a mass of intelligence only.” In our moment to moment living, we experience this very
same "intelligence" as cognizance, awareness, lucidity,
presence. While everything in creation changes... this Presence
is unchanging. From your first breath of life to your last gasp as life
leaves your body...you are present, cognizant, aware... of your
experience. In Indian philosophy this Presence is called the SELF. This
"SELF" is recognized as the GOD IN EVERYTHING.
The doctrine of “The Supremacy of Intelligence”...
In one of the principal Upanishads, the Kausitaki-Brahmana, the
God Indra, the King of Heaven, is asked for a boon deemed to be the most
beneficial for mankind. Sri Indra exhorts: “Understand me only," and
reveals the doctrine of “The Supremacy of Intelligence.”
Verily, if there were no elements of intelligence, there
would be no elements of existence. . . . For as in a chariot the felly
is fixed on the spokes and the spokes are fixed on the hub, even so
these elements of existence are fixed on the elements of intelligence
and the elements of intelligence are fixed in the breathing spirit. The
same breathing spirit is, truly, the intelligent SELF, bliss, ageless,
immortal.
Thus we are choosing to look at the body on molecular and cellular
levels as fields, within fields, of intelligence and intelligence only.
Energy fields are dynamic states of equilibrium. Each potential point in
the field, is simply, information, cognizant of it's relationship to
the whole...Energy fields are a fabric of Intelligence and Intelligence
only....Thus on molecular and cellular levels the body is essentially
consciousness/sentience.
Our Bodily Posture
Our feelings about ourselves and our world... of safety or fear, joy or
sadness, hope or despair are in each moment projected into the world
from our body/mind. Feelings flood every dimension of our body. Joy is a
total bodily experience...sadness can not be found in one isolated part
of the body. Our bodily response is total, whole...Over time our
habitual patterns of response to our experience form our posture toward
the world.
I think back to my childhood… my older brother and I were left alone, at
home, unsupervised for hours each day. Bobby was four years older than
me…and I believe, hobbled by his sibling rivalry toward me, mom’s
favorite, the baby of the family.
I will always remember the royal blue paint on the walls of the bedroom
we shared and the infinite hours I spent crying and screaming as we
fought, and fought daily over almost two decades of childhood.
I believe that my body still… a half century later….holds an energetic
posture towards the world, rooted in the molecular flow of energy, of
this pattern of rage and frustration.
So as I deal with a chronic gall bladder meridian issue (fear, rage,
frustration) in my 81st year of life…I must face lifelong feelings of
powerlessness.
An Evolutionary Perspective on Trauma
In recent decades there has been a revolutionary breakthrough in
Psychology. An understand that trauma is held on much more primordial
levels than the organisms mind or emotions. In trauma the body responds
on a cellular level contracting to block experiences that overwhelm its
resources for survival/wellbeing/homeostasis.
This cellular contraction in the tissue and energy of the body is easily
released when the being experiences that it's safe to feel, safe to
breath, safe to be present in the body.
Life (whose fundamental quality is Presence) unfolds its creative
potential through the body. In trauma, the bodies overwhelmed in its
capacity to be present in the bodily experience and the organism
contracts on cellular and molecular levels. Presence releases trauma.
Freedom And Obsession
The life giving cybernetic dance of cosmic intelligence described above
is rooted in freedom. For when our freedom is thwarted, we are powerless
to take full responsibility for our response.
Freedom, the freedom to fully respond to the challenges of our environment is molecular and cellular.
When our freedom to respond intelligently to the challenges of our
environment is thwarted…. Our minds spin in obsession…a definitive
characteristic of trauma.
Mental and emotional obsession, sends an incessant flow of confused and
contradictory, mental and emotional impulses into the nervous system and
musculature, which defines our emotional posture toward the world. The
obsessive traumatized mind creates our body armoring… the underlying
emotional posture.
Each powerless obsessive thought, sends confused and contradictory,
mental and emotional impulses into the nervous system and musculature...
We understand this as the basis of emotional body armoring.
Hip Replacement? #3
Psychic Surgery or
The Comfortable Sweater of Emotional Armoring
My prayer, is for the highest guidance and inspiration as I face life’s challenges…So I was not surprised, last week at Kirtan (devotional chanting) to meet a couple, who offered what I can begin to describe as ”psychic surgery”.
She explained that spirit guided her to experience and in that process clear your pain. Trusting that I was being guided…I signed up for a session.
As she placed her hands on my sacrum, and began to make other worldly sounds…I became present for deeply buried feeling’s of sadness, shame, failure, and exhaustion from the most challenging moments of my life… she cried out with pain and catharsis again and again throughout the work.
No pain the next day!…but it was short lived… as I was spun into a situation of massive powerlessness and frustration, as TurboTax 22, froze in what seemed to be an insurmountable dilemma…
Fortunately higher intelligence took pity on me, and after a few forced quits and reboots, and a live TurboTax technician holding my hand, I was able to suspend the (#@&#!,) password requirement and move past the dialogue box that had been hung up…
The experience of digital despair was right up there with my worst moments since I had first faced the challenges, of the self taught path toward digital equanimity and literacy in 1987.
Yes the pain in my leg returned…But, to take 100% responsibility for my experience… the question is… Did I manifest this Turbotax22 experience to recast my comfort zone of emotional armoring? Was I too open after the psychic surgery? Had I unconsciously chosen the familiar emotional sweater of frustration and powerlessness over the vulnerability of openness and the unknown?
Fortunately yesterday, I was finally able to return to the acupuncturist who had helped me so much last year… So I am once again, optimistic about the future.
Whatis the point of hanging my emotional laundry out in public?
You might ask, what is the point of hanging my emotional laundry out in public like this? My reply, is that I believe, that the key to healing, is feeling safe to be vulnerable…
I offer an “Evolutionary Model of Healing”.Brahma, the creator, is an ever evolving breath. The one universal life breath, unfolds its creative potential by breathing out each of us.
Each of us, is the unfolding of the creative potential of The Universal Life. Each of us is the personification of a moment of cosmic evolution.
My belief, is that each of us, is the unique personification of an instant of the cosmos.That each of us, has a dharma, to be totally present in our experience as our life unfolds.
One’s vulnerability is sacred, as the unique embodiment of the dynamics of the zodiac, the cosmos…Totality.
Our Presence, our cognizance, the lucidity of being alive, is the Self Organizing Intelligence of the cosmos…the Omnipresence.
The process of healing and maturation is one of evolving resources for being comfortable and safe to be ourselves….. Safe to be vulnerable, safe to be feeling, safe to be fully alive..safe to be fully present in our bodily experience…. of the unique and sacred destiny that each of us enjoys.
Blessings, Bruce

Revisiting
Babbit's Atom...
Key to the Secret Teachings of All Ages
Babbitt’s Atom: The Key to the Secret Teachings of All Ages
In
this essay we look at the work of the father of modern color therapy,
the brilliant nineteenth-century metaphysician Edwin D. Babbitt, M.D.,
L.L.D., In his profound bookThe Principles of Light and Color,Dr. Babbitt unfolds the“Harmonic Laws of the Universe.”Like theSanatana Dharma, Babbitt’s atomic theory is based on sacred sound vibration.
Manly P. Hall, has been called the “dean” of American esoteric studies. Centered on the very first page of hismagnum
opus, The Secret Teachings of All Ages: An Encyclopedic Outline of
Masonic, Hermetic, Qabalistic, Rosicrucian, and Symbolic Philosophy,is
an illustration of Babbitt’s atom. In the caption under this
illustration he describes Babbitt as a “genius.” This illustration in
the center of page one of Hall’s magnum opus,with Babbitt introduced as a genius, indicates that Hall felt...
"...that Babbitt’s atom was the “Rosetta Stone” of Hermetic understanding—and the key to the secret teachings of all ages."
Babbitt's Microclairvoyant Vision of Molecular Dynamics!
Babbitt
was reputed to have an expanded threshold of perception through which
he could see energy fields on an atomic level and observe molecular
dynamics.Writing in the 1850s he discussed left and right brain differences and theorized an “atomic bomb.”
Babbitt presided overThe New York College of Magnetics, which had branches in California and abroad. The college offered courses in healing based onan exact science of “Magnetic, Electrical, Chemical, Solar and Spiritual Forces which underlie everything.”2 His home study courses in “Chromo Therapeutics”(color
therapy) and natural healing had a large following. Through his
influence color therapy was widely practiced as a healing modality until
its demise under attack by antiquackery laws with the rise of the
medical industrial complex.
In hisThe Principles of Light and ColorBabbitt unveils “The Harmonic Laws of the Universe.” He explains:
"The
lines of atomic forces, are doubtless not in circles, this being
contrary to the general untrammeled movements of nature, as the pathway
of missiles, cataracts and planets is in the sections of a cone . . .
atoms are in ellipsoids, or rather in the modifications of this form in
the ovid . . . One thing in proof of this is in the fact that atoms
combine and polarize better by having a smaller end, while, as we have
shown, the law of positive and negative action forces one end to be
smaller than the other".
Sound and sympathetic vibration are the keys...
Polar Cohesion of atoms Babbitt's
understanding parallels the ancient wisdom. In his model sound and
sympathetic vibration are the key to the process of the polar cohesion
of atoms. He writes:
"Why
are ethers drawn from spirals of one atom to the same kind of spirals
in a contiguous atom, and why does a certain grade of ether exactly
harmonize with, and seek out, a certain size spiral? For the same reason
that a tuning-fork or the cord of a piano will be set into vibration by
a tone made in its own key. In the case of the piano, a chord vibrates
to tones of its own pitch, or in other words, to tones whose waves
synchronize with its own vibrations. Let us apply this principle to
atoms. The vibratory action of the red spiral throws the current of
ether which passes through it into the eddy-like whirl which just
harmonizes in size and form to the red spiral of the next atom above it
with which it comes into contact, and which must necessarily draw it on.
This second atom passes it on to the red spiral of the third, the third
to the fourth, and so on through millions of miles, so long as there is
a spiral of the right grade to conduct it onward. "
Babbitt’s Atom: "atomic coil or helix" Babbitt’s
atom is based on the principle of polarity. The positive fields are
characterized by heat and expansion; the negative are cold and
contracting. Babbitt’s model portrays a hierarchy of energy fields.
"This
hierarchy includes the “main spiral” which passes around the atom as
well as “sub spirals” which encircle the main spiral, called “first
spirilla” or little spiral, second spirilla, and third spirilla,
following nature’s "law of trinal gradiation," to use Babbitt’s terms.
These all move in the same direction— as above, so below just as the
Sun, planets, and Moon move through space in the same direction from
east to west. There is also a hierarchy between the coarser more
external spirals which Babbitt calls the "extra spirals," the finer
spirals set farther in called the "intra spirals," and the third level
of the hierarchy, the "axial currents" or "atomic vortex" at the core.
Babbitt pictures a gradation of three to seven spirals in each
hierarchical field."
Thus,
Babbitt’s atom portrays a hierarchy of three fields following his law
of trinal gradiation. The triad of resonance facilitates the alignment
of atoms through polar cohesion to manifest solidity. In polar cohesion
(figure 1.) the ligo (male/protruding and female/receptive connectors)
of the upper atom glides into the ligo of the lower, and thus the two
atoms become riveted together by the vortex of the axial currents. The
more gross extra spirilla keep the upper atom from being drawn into the
lower atom.
Lateral Cohesion Lateral
cohesion (see figure above) takes place through the eddies of the
external positive spirilla aligning with the negative spirilla. Lateral
cohesion is ruled by the thermal expansive positive polarity and is not
as strong as the contractive cohesion of the axial current.
Transverse Cohesion of atoms
Babbitt continues: "We
have ascertained . . . that the spiral, itself the most beautiful of
continuous forms, is the great leading law of motion in nature. Let us
presume, then, that the spiral direction rules in atoms as well as in
worlds, especially as, according to the great unity of law, we must
judge the unknown by the known. In fact the spiral is a necessity if we
are to get any continuous lines around the atom and have it progress
regularly so as to cover its whole form and then to convey its force to
the next atom. So far, then, we have the external atom clad with spiral
lines of force, or rather, a spiral framework, and tube work through
which, and over which, this force must vibrate and flow."
Babbitt’s research leads him to a paradigm which parallels that of the profound ancient samkhya model:
"But
from the nature of things there must have been an almost infinitely
subtle elastic, infrangible Intersoul, all-penetrating, all quickening,
and filling the whole realm of being. This may be termed Spirit or the
soul of things. If we should take these two great departments of the
universe separately, we should have Spirit on the one side as a
limitless, unformulated substance and matter on the other side, as an
unpolarized and lifeless mass."
As
below, so above. We can find valuable suggestions for research in
energy systems through Babbitt’s model. The law of trinal gradiation is
fundamental to the dynamics of Babbitt’s paradigm much as the three
gunas are the foundation of cosmogenesis in the Sanatana Dharma.
Synthesizing
Babbitt’s model with the Polarity model we find that in the torso the
shoulder and hips parallel the "extra spirals" and embody the Fire
principle of directed force for external interactions. The internal
focus of body building and cleansing parallel Babbitt’s "inter spirals"
and the Water principle as an energy system. The "axial current"
parallels the ultrasonic core which Babbitt calls the "intersoul." Thus,
the involutionary currents parallel Babbitt’s inter spirals, the
evolutionary currents parallel the extra spirals, and ultrasonic core
parallels the axial current.
The
extra spirals in Babbitt’s atom parallel Polarity’s Fire principle, the
intra spirals parallel the Water principle, and the ultrasonic core
parallels the axial currents.
Human
energy fields are subsystems of the energy of nature and the solar
system. The poles of this system are the Sun and the Moon/Earth.
Everything in nature grows in entrainment with these forces of rajasandtamas.
During involution, superior fields entrain with the centrifugal solar
forces, inferior fields with the lunar contracting pole. In evolution
the fields reverse polarity with inferior fields expanding centrifugally
and superior contracting centripetally. Physical energy fields take on
their characteristic heart shape as subsystems within this energy
dynamic.
“the ultimate physical atom” seen as a manifestation of pure life force spinning perpetually through itself.
Dr. Annie Besant and Bishop Charles Leadbeater’s clairvoyant picture of the heart of the universe“the ultimate physical atom” seen as a manifestation of pure life force spinning perpetually through itself.This image is remarkably similar to Babbitt’s atom.Occult Chemistryis
the report of micro-clairvoyant research which took place between 1895
and 1933 by a group of gifted Theosophists in England and
India.
Using
microclairvoyant powers, they developed a “Periodic Table of the
Elements.” From carbon to uranium, they described and diagramed
fifty-seven chemical elements, the basic constituents of matter, and
developed a formula for ascertaining their atomic weight. They found
ninety-nine distinct elements including a number that were yet to be
discovered.
The book published in 1980,Extra Sensory Perception of Quarks(Theosophical
Publishing), demonstrates that the research of Dr. Besant and Bishop
Leadbeater had indeed been accurate and has been largely confirmed by a
half-century of scientific subatomic research.17
This
discussion of Babbitt's atom provides a good foundation for my recent
Energy Medicine Class...where I talk about what I believe is the most
important contribution of my life's work to the traditions
of hermetic understanding.
"Creation As Music"
Is it possible that our bodies and all of nature are musical instruments played on a molecular level by the breath of life?
Cross
culturally and transhistorically, the science of ancient cultures was
based on an understanding of the elements: Ether, Air, Fire, Water,
Earth.
Bruce
explains that the "Elements" are best understood as "Elemental Keynotes
of vibration" which are fundamental to the organization of Nature.
Bruce
offers a vision of the cycle of the breath, modulating the pitch of the
tissues in the body and energy fields in Nature and the cosmos as an
infinite harmony of sympathetic vibration.

The
Golden Ratio Spiral is the mathematical expression of the breath of
life.... Universally creation approximates the golden ratio spiral.
From the double helix of DNA to the spiraling galaxies we witness the ubiquity of the golden ratio spiral.
In the spiraling of a canaries claw, the distribution of branches around
a tree trunk, or the optimum trajectory of a hawk hunting... we observe
the golden ratio spiral.
East
Indian philosophy views all creation as a unitary life.
Everything that moves is the life breath of a living universe.
Brahma is the name given to this universal life breath. Brahma is an ever expanding
breath, unfolding the creative potency of Life Eternal...
In exactly the same way that breath animates your body, the infinite body of the universe is animated by Brahma.
The key to this mystery is in the profound dynamics of the golden ratio spiral. The golden ratio spiral is the mathematical expression of the breath of life....
All energy in nature expresses the underlying ubiquity of the golden
ratio spiral and as form is an expression of the dynamics of the
underlying energy. All forms in nature approximate the golden ratio
spiral.
Profound Properties of The Spiral*
The spiral has a number of remarkable properties.
* It both comes from and returns to its source
* It is a continuum whose ends are opposite and yet the same
* It demonstrates the cycles of change within the continuum
* It demonstrates the alternation of the polarities of each cycle
* It embodies the principles of expansion and contraction, through change of velocity
* It embodies the potential for simultaneous movement in either direction towards its two extremities.
* On the spherical vortex these extremities, the center and periphery, flow into each other
* On the spherical vortex these extremities are essentially interchangeable…
*Jill Purce, The Mystic Spiral: Journey of The Soul
Golden Spiral Lissajous figure dancing as a horn torus
The golden ratio spiral is the mathematical expression of the synergy of creation... Synergy describes a maximal integration between the parts and the whole. We
live in an ocean of life breath... Spiritus, the Latin word for
breath... spirals from the macrocosm of the body to senselessly animate
every field down to the microcosm of cells, molecules, atoms and quarks
within. This life sustaining dynamic is made possible through the synergy of the golden ratio spiral which aligns to facilitate the infinite nesting of energy fields... within energy fields
The Mystery of the Cup of the Holy Grail is revealed in the infinite recursiveness of the golden ration spiral.
Illustrating a fundamental dynamic universally of all energy fields...
At The Speed Of Life!
A
deeper contemplation of the ancient wisdom of India takes us beyond the
dramatic iconography of personified gods and goddesses to reveal the
fundamental dynamics underlying creation!
Vedanta the
culmination of knowledge has the capacity to shatter our concepts about
God...the mystification, glamour and patriarchal iconography that
has been forced upon humanity over the millennium.
The Upanishads, ancient esoteric commentaries
reveal that the stuff of creation is Intelligence! An all pervasive...
omnipresent... universal intelligence...as the definitive characteristic of matter, life and consciousness.
“As
a mass of salt is without inside, without outside, is altogether a mass
of taste, even so, verily, is this Self without inside, without
outside, altogether a mass of intelligence only...” Brhadaranyaka Upanishad
“Understand me only," and reveals the doctrine of “The Supremacy of Intelligence.”
For
verily, without intelligence, speech does not make known (to the self)
any name whatsoever. "My mind was elsewhere," he says, "I did not
cognise that
name."
For
verily, without intelligence breath does not make known any odor
whatsoever. "My mind was elsewhere," he says. "I did not cognise that
odor."
For
verily, without intelligence the ear does make known any sound
whatsoever. "My mind was elsewhere,” he says, "I did not cognise that
sound." . .
.
Verily,
if there were no elements of intelligence, there would be no elements
of existence. . . . For as in a chariot the felly is fixed on the spokes
and the spokes are fixed on the hub, even so these elements of
existence are fixed on the elements of intelligence and the elements of
intelligence are fixed in the breathing spirit. The same breathing
spirit is, truly, the intelligent Self, bliss, ageless, immortal." Kausitaki-Brahmana
The
dynamic of the Lissajous figure dancing through a horn
Taurus illustrates the cybernetic feedback loop that defines
energy fields. Energy universally moves from a nucleus into a field and
back to its source... gathering information for self correction.
In
EXACTLY THE SAME WAY...that we can say that everything that moves in
your body from quark to macrocosm is is sustained by the breath of
life.... Everything that moves in creation from quark to galaxy is the
spiraling breath of Brahma. Universe means, attuned to one coil...and
that one coil is the golden spiral.
The
profound beauty of the golden ratio spiral is that it is
infinitely recursive... fields within fields seamless nest within each
other in an infinite holoarchy.
Recursiveness is
the fundamental dynamic of energy fields. Is Recursiveness the definition of consciousness?....is consciousness recursiveness!
The
ability to learn is our definition of intelligence. Recursiveness is
the fundamental dynamic of energy fields. Contemporary biologists reveal
that the definitive characteristic of life is
autopoesis... Self Creation... the ability to replicate
and recreate itself... This is the universal basis of all living
processes in Nature.
THE DOCTRINE OF THE UBIQUITY OF INTELLIGENCE
There is aSelf Organizing Intelligenceat the heart of everything. Every atom, molecule, cell of living organisms is a feedback loop, maintaining its homeostasis.
Every
living organism is constantly dealing with its environment. Using this
input to self correct and maintain its viability. This ability to
integrate input from the environment into expression is the very
definition of intelligence.
Biologists have coined the wordautopoiesiswhich
means "self creating" to describe this defining quality of living
beings. In the course of its life , a living organisms is constantly
recreating and replacing its cells.
While every living cell is
incessantly changing as it grows and interacts with its environment...
through processes of homeostasis and autopoiesis this "Intelligence" is unchanging.
Shiva and Shakti.... Bhava and Bhavani
TheUpanishadsare revered as the pinnacle of the ancient esoteric teachings of India. In theBrhad-aranyaka Upanishad (which is considered to be one of the most important of theUpanishads),Yajnavalkyaexplains:
“As
a mass of salt is without inside, without outside, is altogether a mass
of taste, even so, verily, is this Self without inside, without
outside, altogether a mass of intelligence only.”
In the macrocosm of our lives, we experience this very same "intelligence" as cognizance, awareness... presence.
While everything in creation changes... thisPresence is unchanging. From
your first breath of life to your last gasp as life leaves your
body...you are present, cognizant, aware... of your experience.
In Indian philosophy this Presence is called theSelf.This "SELF" is recognized as the GOD IN EVERYTHING.
In
our approach to Energy Medicine we are constantly focused on working
with this all pervasive, living, Divine Intelligence...
In the ancient wisdom of India, a distinction is offered between "Shiva" defined as unchangingBeing... Pure consciousness, presence, intelligence and "Shakti" Bhavani the living goddess of Nature which is incessantly changing...Becoming.
Shivameans
auspicious and describes the scintillating experience of being alive
and conscious, of seeing, touching feeling. The whole tamale of being
alive and conscious in a body.
Therapeutic Presence In The Healing Arts In
the last 50 years I participated in a revolution in our understanding
of healing. A realization that the foundation of healing is "Therapeutic Presence."
The
understanding that the healing essence found within the myriad of
diverse approaches to healing is Therapeutic Presence. A
body disintegrates when it becomes too dense or toxic and
resistant to the self correcting essence of this intelligence... this is
the disease process. Wholistic
healing revolves around taking responsibility for cleansing, mobilizing
and nourishing the fluidity of our bodies and a receptivity to our innate"Higher Intelligence".
The Profound Power of Therapeutic Presence in the Healing Arts The foundation of our approach to Energy Medicine is our understanding of"Presence" as the power conventionally called"The Soul".The animating force which is the at the root of Life.
In
our approach to Energy Medicine we offer a sophisticated, hands on
approach for promoting high level health and well-being based on the
ancient wisdom of yoga philosophy.
I would encourage you to buy my bookEsoteric Anatomy: The Body As Consciousness where
we unfold a profoundly effective hands on approach to working
with Therapeutic Presence in life and in the healing arts.
God
lives within you (Intelligence) as you (Presence)...
You can learn to
unleash your inherent divine healing power and become a healing force in
your world .
I invite you to join our nourishing and empowering healing arts personal growth and career training programs. Blessings, Bruce

Brainwashing...
It is vital that postmodern humanity realize just how deeply we have been brainwashed.
The
dominant materialist paradigm which denies the divinity of life...
makes possible…an apocalyptical exploitation of nature and humanity
which today threatens life itself.
We
are the daughters and sons of Abraham... the biblical religions express
the ideology of warlords...a God safely in heaven permits, even
promotes the pillage, plunder and rape of those nonbelivers
in monotheism... who worshiped the divinity of mother earth.
Centuries
of Christian and Islamic merciless crusades and draconian
inquisitions gave birth to the dominant paradigm... a secular,
materialist world view.
The
Crusaders proudly burned the libraries at Constantinople and
Alexandria, and the Conquistadors understood that knowledge was power,
vanquished the culture of indigenous peoples. Centuries of draconian
inquisitions by the church have left western culture brainwashed in
ignorance and muddled in confusing and unsatifying spiritual
gobbledygook, mystyfying pomp and hollow ritual.
Gazing
at Stonehenge or the great pyramids of the Egyptians or Mayans we
blindly speculate on the most fundamental questions are these temples or
tombs? Experts have been stumbling through lifetimes of ignorance
trying to decipher the ABC’s of the hieroglyphics of the ancients.
Mother
India is unique in the world as the only place on earth where the
ancient wisdom has not been destroyed by imperialism and the church.
India
holds a uniquely valuable place on earth for its thriving connection to
the ancient wisdom. In India a vast literature exists, and more
important a flourishing way of life in temple and home that has been
carried on from time immemorial. Archeological evidence points to a
culture in India that is tens of thousands years older than the relics
of Egypt or Central America.Some scholars date theRig Vedaas early as 12,000 BCE. Archeologists have carbon dated relics of great Indian cities to as much as 35,000 years BCE.
India offers an immersion in a way of life that had been practiced for millennium before Osiris, Christ, or the MayanPopol Vuh.
Sanskrit Language Of The Gods
Indias profound oral tradition, has been carried on inDevanagariwhich
means the perfected language or the language of the gods. Sanskrit is
designed to facilitate impeccably reliable oral transmission. The
Sanskrit literature is defined by rules and nemonic devices
to hi-light and prevent errors. Rituals are carefully passed
on father to son through the strict conventions of the Brahmins priestly
caste and equally important way of life taught by mother to daughter in
every home.
Hindus tell us that their Sanatana Dharma is not a faith based religion as in the west but a way of lifewhich offers practices thatpromote a moment to moment experience of Yoga/Soul Communion.
These pratices guide and illuminate every of element life from
dawn to dusk, new moon to full moon, and birth to death. In India
everything begins with a prayer, as all of life is sacred.
In
the west we look toward psychology to heal the fear, self loathing,
insecurity and alienation which dominates much of our inner life.
Eastern traditions offera sattvic way of lifewhich over the milinnium has proven its efficacy to promote communion withBeingand a moment to moment experience ofSoul Communion and Presence/Satchitananda.
In theSanatana Dharma, which offers a vast literature of spiritual contemplation and practice... the sacred is both transcendent, as in monotheism and
immanent as in pantheism. The fundamental difference is a world view
where all life is sacred while westerners are immersed in a
materialistic world view and often slaves to materialism.
Indian
wisdom is rooted in the realization that all life is sacred... That the
universe is a living breathing conscious being...!
Sacred Cows
The
Srimad Bhagavatam explains that the Sacred Cow embodies the divinity,
kindness and generousity of Life. Of course its denigrated in the
materialistic west as it is a symbol of India's sacred paradigm and the passionate realization of the divinity and unity of all life.
India
offers a Sattvic way of life... Sattva (Being) is the force of
equilibrium in Nature. A Sattvic life style facilitates...energetic
coherence... where every cell... every field... of our bodies becomes
coherent...a well to Being... promoting Soul Communion... Living in and
as "The Presence" in health an harmony.
We invite you to immerse yourself in Unitive Consciousness by studying with Bruce...
Without
Self Knowledge... we are slaves to our ignorance and the delusions
which dominate our fragile egos and vulnerable personae.

Strengthening Our Immune Response Naturally
A
meta study published in the medical journal Frontiers Of
Immunology analyzes 18 studies of 846 participants practicing
mind-body interventions (MBIs). These studies reveal a pattern in the
molecular changes which happen to the body as a result of MBIs, such as
meditation and yoga and how those changes benefit our mental and
physical health.
According to the study, people who practice MBIs exhibit a decrease in
cytokines, leading to a reversal of the pro-inflammatory gene expression
pattern and a reduction in the risk of inflammation-related diseases
and conditions.
There
is a mass of scientific literature demonstrating the power of
meditation, yoga, and holistic health building practices to quickly and
powerfully rearrange our DNA. In his recent book, Metahuman, Deepak
Chopra quotes numerous studies that demonstrate that even a short, one
week yoga or meditation retreat radically remakes the participants DNA!
Stressful lives, fear driven jobs, and layers of unresolved shock and
trauma leave many of us in perpetual states of Sympathetic Nervous
System (SNS) activation.
“When a person is exposed to a stressful event, their sympathetic
nervous system (SNS) -- the system responsible for the 'fight-or-flight'
response -- is triggered, in turn increasing production of a molecule
called nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) which regulates how our genes are
expressed. NF-kB translates stress by activating genes to produce
proteins called cytokines that cause inflammation at cellular level -- a
reaction that is useful as a short-lived fight-or-flight reaction, but
if persistent leads to a higher risk of cancer, accelerated aging and
psychiatric disorders like depression.” Indeed it’s a cytokine storm of
an inflammatory response flaring out of control that is likely to
precipitate death during an attack of the coronavirus.
We Have the Power
Stay at home orders are designed to flatten the potentially exponential
curve of the covid 19 epidemic. But at some point the curve is more than
likely to catch up with us. We have the power to proactively
strengthen our immune system. Yoga, meditation, whole food nutrition are
a wise investment.
Our Energy Medicine: Transformational Therapy workshops are rooted in
Somatic and Transpersonal Psychology. Our focus is clearing stress,
shock and trauma from the SNS and building immunity through powerful
energy balancing and mantra yoga practices. (Check out my YouTube video
on hands-on techniques to release the SNS).
You are invited to join us at Heartwood this August for the Transformation of your life!

Transformational Therapy: Energy Medicine Personal Growth & Career Training
Tiruvannamalai, India Jan. 8-25, 2021. Learn profoundly effective energy
balancing protocols and principles that will heal and transform your
life and the lives of your clients!
Our body is a field of energy. Every molecule is a well to Being. In a
Parasympathetic state our energy is profoundly coherent and we align
with The Source for health, happiness and a strengthened immune system.
The medium of life is Self-Organizing Intelligence. Living systems are defined by their ability to recreate them selves.
We live in an ocean of ultrasonic life force energy. Though beyond our five senses, this ultrasonic field sustains all life.
Each breath attunes our body as energy to this higher dimension. The
brilliance of this Ultimate Intelligence is illustrated in the dynamics
of the breath which is the foundation of life. Inspiration attunes the
life fields to the yang, rajasic, expansive solar field and expiration
to the yin, tamasic lunar field.
Where rajas and tamas meet, the two ultrasonic fields cancel each other
in a still-point of sattva guna. Sattva Guna, is the force of
equilibrium in Nature.
Sattva means Being and refers to the Source of this Great Mystery of
Life. Every cycle of Life, self corrects, in every cycle with its
Source... the resonance of "the Mystery of the Holy Word." We live in an
ocean of Divine Being!
Our bodies are a microcosm of creation... On molecular levels our energy
fields dance in electro-magnetic dynamics of rajas and tamas emanating
from a sattvic nucleus.
The cerebra-spinal fluid, spine, diaphragm, heart and hands are the most
physical expressions of sattvic resonance. Presence is our most
concentrated expression of this divine force.
Our hands are living divine tuning forks radiating sattvic
resonance. Our knowledge and intention empower this force.
As healers we entrain with sattva guna (resonant field) through intention, stillness and presence.
The sattvic field is higher intelligence. It is the doer. Is is
not our ego or knowledge of energy dynamics but the power of higher
intelligence which is nourishing healing and transformation.
Our approach to Energy Medicine is defined by the lucidity and focus of
our intention to address higher intelligence as the source of healing,
health and high level wellness.
Join us, in taking responsibility for healing our world. one person at a time.
Starting with you...
Blessings, Bruce

In The Beginning is the Word...
Your Subtle Body is an Ultrasonic Field
In Yoga Philosophy, Brahma is the name of the aspect of The Great
Mystery that rules creation. Brahma is described as an ever expanding
breath, unfolding the creative potency of Life Eternal... an unchanging
absolute of pure consciousness.
Brahma is understood to be a very subtle force whose manifest power lies
in its feminine aspect Vac Devi. Vac Devi is the personification of the
mystery and powers of the "Holy Word".
The most immediate quality of Vac Devi and the mystery of the holy
word...is Life itself! For breath is "the breath of life". Each breath
is a microcosm of the galactic mystery of Life and Consciousness. Each
breath pregnant with all the powers of Life Eternal.
Breath's dynamic of inspiration/expiration, yang/yin, rajas/tamas, has
been called "the two hands of God". Within this is what sages have
called "the order of creation" the holographic spectrum of consciousness
embodied in the breath that sustains life.
Yoga offers us powerful practical tools for applying this wisdom for
healing and high level wellness. Pranayama, control of the life force,
is lauded as the most powerful way to heal the heart and quiet the mind.
Gayatri Pranayama
A foundation for daily self-care is the powerful Gayatri Pranayama which
we share in our workshops. Life moves from within to without, from the
nucleus into the field, from subtle to material. With pranayama we work
on the subtle fields of life to heal and transform the physical.
Subtle energy is ultrasonic. The medium of Ether is sound. Your subtle
body is an ultrasonic body. Enlisting the powers of Vac Devi is a key to
healing and high level wellness. Sound is an inter-dimensional portal.
In Gayatri pranayama we chant invocations to enlist the powers of the
Bija mantras...seed-essences. To align the chakras of our etheric body
with a higher dimension of vibration to facilitate health and happiness.
Pranayama works! These techniques have demonstrated their efficacy over
thousands of years to heal, promote inner peace, well being and to
dramatically accelerate your evolution...
Life Eternal
Every atom of your body is a well to Being... To Life Eternal. Promoting
coherence on the molecular level through Esoteric Energy Balancing
practices potentizes the fields to promote health and happiness.
You are invited to join us in India or California to learn safe, simple,
practices to cultivate blissful, life enhancing states of Soul
Communion.

Earning a Certificate
vs
Earning Certification
A Clarification...
Dear Ones:
Welcome to our Energy Medicine Transformational Therapy personal growth and professional training program.
In our training you will learn to work with Higher Intelligence
through energy balancing to foster physical and emotional health
and well-Being. We have a unique scope of practice, as our focus is a holistic approach to health building rather than a focus on disease.
Success in any endeavor is rooted in competence and confidence.
Our Energy Medicine programs offer a carefully orchestrated, step-by-stepprocess for clearing the past, to foster healing, personal growth and to build competence and confidence. Our
Energy Medicine programs have evolved over the decades to facilitate
deep healing, profound levels of emotional clearing and rapid personal
growth.
Our APP Energy Medicine program is Unique
to the best of my knowledge. Most energy Balancing programs work
with “Energy Tracing”, working with the Etheric Body to
cultivate sensitivity to energy blocks and energy flow. For most
students learning this approach, it takes a long time to actualize the
sensitivity, competence and confidence to practice professionally.
In our approach you learn a series of immediately effective, powerful, experiential, energy balancingprotocols.
Working with the physical body as a dynamic electro-magnetic field you
facilitate profound results and get amazing feedback from your very
first session. The protocols are experiential: Sattvic is deeply
relaxing; Rajasic energizing; Core, Spine and Pelvis… each
offering a deeper dimension of scintillating energy movement
and profound well-being.
Our approach rapidly builds confidence and competence.
Our
programs offer an amazing opportunity to safely and skillfully address
life’s deepest issues and to rapidly actualize healing and
transformation.
A
commitment to our Transformational Therapy immersion in India, or our
year long program of study and practice in California provides a vehicle
to build personal competence as a healing arts practitioner and nourish
the confidence to take on the challenges of building a professional
practice.
Certificate vs Certification
Organizations
like APTA, (The American Polarity Therapy Association), PTEA (The
Polarity Therapy Education Alliance), and Bruce Burger, Energy Medicine
Seminars, award certificates of completion for recognition of
educational achievement.
Only
a government approved professional organization like the NCBTMB,
(National Certification Board For Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork) can
award "certification" to practice massage therapy.
A
certificate like the APP though valuable personally, and marking a
level of training and experience, does not represent any sort of
official "certification”.
APTA
for example offers The Standards for Practice and Code of
Ethics, which is a brilliant 60 page booklet outlining
the skills that facilitate competence in the practice of Dr Randolph
Stones Polarity Therapy. APTA offers 3 levels of recognition of study of
Dr Stones work: Associate Polarity Practitioner, (APP) requiring 155
Hours of study and practice; Registered Polarity Practitioner (RPP) 520
hours and Board Certified Polarity Practitioner (BCPP). As APTA has
aspirations to become a recognized certifying body, thus only meeting
the BCPP educational standards of 800 total hours of training and BCPP
test qualifies the student to practice Polarity Therapy. Regardless of
your professional training, I highly recommend a life long study of
Dr Stone’s profound work.
Our APTA approved APP program totals 110 class hours in our workshops and mastery of my book Esoteric Anatomy: The Body As Consciousness.
In addition one is required:
To take a 10 hour basic muscular skeletal & anatomical terminology class
Document 30 energy balancing sessions given
Experience for your personal healing, 5 sessions
received from an advanced Polarity Therapy practitioner like an RPP or BCPP
Total 155 Hours
Health Freedom Legislation
January 1, 2003 marked the dawn of a new era... The initiation of California's Health Freedom Legislation.
Practicing a healing art based on "esoteric" rather than
"scientific" principles and working with the energy body is legalized
and professionalized in California. Learn More Here>>>
WORKING WITH HIGHER INTELLIGENCE
I believe that our unique APP program qualifies you to practice Energy Medicine. The energy balancing protocols you will learn foster the deepest kind of healing through communion with a higher dimension of life giving Divine Intelligence.
I
would be honored to award to you a certificate of achievement at the
conclusion of your meeting our requirements and look forward to your
practicing Energy Medicine through the application of these profoundlyhealing energy balancing principles and protocols.
Blessings, Bruce Burger

Will Wonder Woman
Save The World?
The Goddess Durga
personifies the power of light to dispel darkness. Durga's celestial
weapons include the discuss to decapitate the mind, Shiva's trident
which rules molecular fields, and Varuna's conch and the powers of Aum
the holy word. Vayu god of the wind (mind) gifted her a bow of intention
and unlimited arrows (inspiration). Vishwakarma gave her a mace to
shatter illusions and Yama god of death his own staff! Agni bestowed
upon her the shakti of cosmic Fire. Indra the thunderboldt and Kubera
lord of wealth, blessed her with the intoxicating wine of devotion.
Brahma the creator, gave dear goddess Durga his own chalice overflowing
with the waters of life.
Contemplating The Divine Feminine
The sage Jean Houston reminds us that the empowerment of women is the most important achievement of the twentieth century.
Are
we living in the last season of patriarchy? Can we look forward to a
springtime of humanity midwifed by the ascension of the feminine?
In
a lifetime devoted to contemplating energy and the role of
consciousness in the natural healing arts, I have come to a profound
appreciation of the gifts of the feminine.
All
of life is alive and breathing. Breath involves two polarities and a
still point. Inspiration, expiration, Yang and yin, rajas and tamas are
words which we use to describe the cosmic Fire and Water of the life
cycle. The neutral source, a portal from a higher dimension of Being we
characterize as the Tao, Sattva guna or the Air Element. Thus we can
characterize the inspiration of the first months of the annual solar
cycle as masculine and the fall signs as feminine.
The
12 months of the zodiac, embody the spectrum of consciousness which
underlies the order of creation. Our annual experience of this solar
cycle in the living encyclopedia of Nature within and around is one of
life’s great teachings.
The months between Aries and Leo embody theinvolutionary cycleof
consciousness manifesting as life. The involutionary cycle is naive,
immature characterized by the enchanting romance of the spring signs of
the zodiac and blind instinct of Nature to birth creation. Aries the
seed, sprouting into I Am!, The Etheric ruled Taurus entrained with the
chorus of spring dancing with the moon to build form. The playful
flirtatious youthful Gemini leads us into Cancer which is always weaving
a fertile and nourishing nest. The masculine signs reach a crescendo in
the regal and proud delusions of Leo.
The fall signs of the zodiac unfold the characteristics ofevolutionaryexpression. This more mature part of life's cycle is characterized by the overarchingfeminine quality of discriminating wisdom.
Septembers Virgo embodies an essence of this feminine discriminating
wisdom, ruling science and art and personified in service. Perhaps it
seeds the other aspects of the fall cycle. Libra ruled by Venus is
defined by a compulsion to love, harmony and beauty. Scorpio the deep
magnetism of the feminine drawing from the infinite quarters of the
cosmos the codex to manifest the miracles of life.
Sagittarius offers sincerity, integrity and a love of learning.
Capricorn rules a focus on structure and the cultivation of a
solid foundation to carry us into ensuing cycles. Aquarius embodies the
culmination of the evolutionary cycle of selfless service and life
devoted to a higher purpose. In Pisces we sacrifice the illusion of
individuality to merge back into cosmic Being.
In
my experience regardless of your gender…the more feminine your
manifestation, the more you embody discriminating wisdom, the more we
can trust your values and judgment.
As
an elder, I invite you, dear sisters and brothers, to trust your gifts,
and to lean in and seize opportunities to take personal responsibility
for manifesting the world of our dreams.
Are you the Wonder Woman we have been waiting for!
6/17/19 Understanding Human Energy Dynamics
Understanding Human Energy Dynamics
Human energy is living energy. Living energy is rooted in the breath.
Breath and life are inseparable. To be alive is to breathe, to breathe
is to be alive.
The ancient wisdom of India reveals that the world is sung into being. Lord Vishnu… Vishnu
means to pervade… is asleep… symbolizing potential… in a milky…
symbolizing all possibility… ocean… symbolizing infinite…upon a bed of
serpents… symbolizing timeless.
In a dream… symbolizing a play of consciousness only… a lotus sprouts
from his navel, and upon this lotus sprouts a four headed god Brahma. Brahma
conceives of a goddess, who sings the world into creation (and by the
way gives him a loving foot massage…. symbolizing that creation is a
loving offering to the mystery.)
Brahma is the name given to the creator in the trinity of Vishnu source, and Shiva lord of dissolution. Brahma means an ever expanding, all encompassing breath. Brahma is the life breath of a living universe.
In exactly the same way that your breath vivifies your body from the
macrocosm to the DNA… Everything that moves in creation from galaxy to
quark is the breath of Brahma, the life breath of a living universe.
Brahma is a very subtle force in the play consciousness. Its’ only through Brahma’s female aspect, or Shakti that Brahma can effect prakriti Nature.
The feminine aspect… Shakti of Brahma is variously personified as Vac Devi, the personification of speech and the powers of the holy word, Saraswati Devi, Essence of Self, or Gayatri Devi, whose five heads symbolize the five winds or vayu’s of the elemental keynotes of creation: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether.
The World Is Music:
The vedas reveal that the world is sung into being. The ancient Sanskrit grammarian, Bhartrhari, states in his Vakyapadiya 1.112 “Vageva Vishwa Bhuvanani Jajne” The Universe is Birthed by Sound!
The ground state out of which creation emerges is the pranava (from pra-nu,
to reverberate) of the primordial Holy Word… AUM. Creation is vibrating
as an expression of ultimate intelligence, ultimate wisdom, ultimate
love… in a sonic harmony of AUM.
The Goddess Saraswati is the personification of this mystery, the
embodiment of an all pervasive divine creative intelligence. Her
vehicle is the swan…the highest flying bird, which symbolizes the breath
of life, the supreme principle in a living creation. The Great Mystery
of life and consciousness, is carried on the breath.
Saraswati’s celestial instrument is the vina, which symbolizes creation.
Thus we have Ultimate Intelligence, carried on the breath of life, playing the music of creation.
For millennium musical instruments were often fashioned from the guts
and hides of animals. For these guts and hides, resonated most
profoundly with the mystery of music and the winds that carried these
sounds to the heart and mind.
There is no musical instrument more perfect than the human body. Indeed
the human body… like all of nature… is a musical instrument. The
ancients understood this. The ancient sciences of Yang and Yin, Pitta and Kapha, Sulfer and Salt were based on this vibrational knowledge of the primacy of inspiration and expiration, of the breath of life.
The latin word for breath is spiritus. It comes from the same roots as our word spiral… It is Spiritus
that plays the instrument of nature. As we breathe, the tissue of our
bodies are stretched by the act of breathing in a cycle of attunement to
nature and the cosmos.
On cellular and molecular levels the tissues stretches to modulate its’
musical pitch. As we breathe in, there is a lengthening of the tissue to
the keynote of resonance that, cross culturally and trans-historically,
the ancients called the Air element. Thus through attunement to the
keynote Air, life force stepped down from the subtle universal elements
into the gross material elements of form. Then in quantum fashion the
inhalation ballooned the tissue into the radiant keynote and it
entrained with the creative potency of the solar Fire element.
Next in the cycle of breath is a still-point, where inner and outer
forces came into balance at the Earth elemental resonance. Then as the
diaphragm descends… the tissue contracts into resonance with the lunar
keynote of the Water element.
Nature is a fabric of ultrasonic resonance, attuned to the keynotes of:
Earth, solidity; Water, the fluid medium for life force; Fire, the
functioning of creative intelligence; Air the feedback process which is
the essence of intelligence; and Ether which modulates sacred space
between the subtle universal elements of the cosmos and the material
elements of nature.
The Sanskrit word guna is derived from an Indo-European base
gere…”twirl” or “wind”… The gunas describe spiraling vortices of
vibrating energy fields.
Breathing is a process of cosmic and natural attunement that sustains
life. As we breathe, the lengthening of the tissue, on a molecular
level, entrains with the Source or Life Field of Sattva Guna and
facilitates a step down of energy from the subtle universal to the gross
material elements. Inspiration, modalities the molecular fields into
entrainment with the creative potency of the solar resonance of the Fire
element as the field leaps in quantum fashion to Rajas Guna. As the
diaphragm descends, the field on every level of microcosm entrains with
Tamas guna and the centripetal qualities of the Water element.
Life is sustained by the breath, through a process of cosmic and natural
attunement. Cross culturally and trans historically the sciences of the
ancients was rooted in this understanding of nature and the cosmos as a
living breathing conscious being.
All of nature is vibrating in a life giving state of praise attuned to
the voice of the Goddess Saraswati singing the holy word… singing the
music of creation.
Not Just Vibration
Yes everything is vibration… but not the same vibration that we find in materialistic science.
In the Vedic paradigm energy is sound… sonic and ultrasonic. Sonic
within the threshold of human experience and ultrasonic… the vibratory
field of the universal breath that surrounds us, infuses and sustains
all creation.
Sound is the medium of energy. Yin and Yang, Rajas and Tamas are
ultrasonic polarities that underlie all life processes. Yin and
Yang, Rajas and Tamas are life giving keynotes of the music of creation.
As Above So Below
It is of primary importance to understand that your voice is the
personification of Vac Devi. That you embody the mystery and dynamic of
creation.
All the powers, all the forces, all the qualities of the infinite ocean
of life underlie your voice and its creative relationship to Nature.
All the powers, all the forces, all the qualities of the infinite ocean
of consciousness underlie your voice and its creative relationship to
the Cosmos.
You embody the Mystery
The sonic winds of Rajas and Tamas undulate through every cycle of creation from nano-quark to maha-pralaya…
the great in-breath of the dissolution of creation. All changes take
place within the all pervasive unchanging ABSOLUTE field of SATTVA the ground state of Aum- pranava - BEING.
In every cycle of life, from the smallest nano-atom to the greatest Manvantara of cosmic creation, where the spiraling breaths of Rajas and Tamas intersect, the two sonic currents entrain with SATTVA to self correct through the omnipresence of BEING.
Once
again, we are led back to Intelligence as the living energy of creation.
Intelligence is the ability to integrate our experience into our
expression. Every cycle of nature is a homeostatic process of feedback
and self correction.
Life is
the product of a miraculous self organizing Intelligence. Each breath
ends in a still-point that is one with the source in an ultimate dynamic
of self-correction. This recursiveness is the very definition of
consciousness.

Is Consciousness
An Ontological primitive?
In
Aristotelian logic, an ontological primitive is "...the identification
of a primary fact of reality, which cannot be analyzed, i.e., reduced to
other facts or broken into component parts." It provides a foundation
for analysis.
Is consciousness an ontological primitive?
There is a self-organizing intelligence whice is at the heart of every living thing.Every
atom, molecule, cell and organic process is a feedback loop maintaining
homeostasis, integrating its experience of its environment into its
expression to maintain its integrity. This is the definition of
Intelligence! Intelligence is at the heart of every living
process... the ability to learn from experience. The ability to
integrate experience into expression.
This recursive dynamic is the very definition of consciousness.
Yes, there isa self-organizing intelligenceat
the heart of every living process. Sages of the east, point out
that, all of creation, is cyclical... beginningless, endless,
unborn, undying, everywhere always, eternal, for ever and ever and ever.
Thus, it is futile to search for its, beginning, its source.This Great Mystery of Consciousnessis Self effulgent, dependent only on totality for its dynamic.
In
the Brhad-aranyaka Upanishad (which is considered to be the most
important of the ancient esoteric East-Indian teachings of the
Upanishads), the sage Yajnavalkya explains:
“As a mass of salt is without inside, without outside, is altogether a mass of taste,even so, verily, is this Selfwithout inside, without outside,altogether a mass of intelligence only.”
In
the macrocosm of our lives, this all pervasive intelligence manifests
as our cogniscence, our presence, our intelligence... not our thoughts
or ideas, or even our ideals, but ourawareness.
The sages of the India, point out that this cogniscence, is your
Self...a constant presence of awareness, from birth to death. This Self
is the only thing about you that does not change throughout life. This
intelligence is both the God within you and you!
Lucidity
is the distinguishing charastic of Life. Life and consciousness are
inexorably bound. To be alive is to be conscious, to be consxcious is to
be alive.
Consciousness
is both the medium and the process underlying all Life. As it is
Self-Effulgent...uncaused by anything outside of its own dynamic... we
can view it.... as a first cause... consciousness is an ontological
primitive.
Osho reminds us that everything
we believe we know about God
is a "hallucination"...
Life itself isThe Great Mystery....
Life is God! All Life is Sacred... All life is Divine.
As healers it is profoundly important to understand that our highest vibrational energy is our presence. Presence is the presence of the animating intelligence of life. Presence is our highest vibrational energy.
Presence is the ubiquitious presence of the Goddes/God within!
Our presence is a creative force pregnant with our consciousness and compassion.
Viewing
the body as energy, we understand that this "energy" is Consciousness
and the body an epiphenomenon of consciousness. For example the
epiphenomenon of the body appear so be solid but is really something
else.... elaborate fields of vibrant intelligence processes.
In
our healing work we call this divine intelligence, Therapeutic
Prescence... and work with it in myriad ways to restore the harmony and
integrity of the body's relationship to its omnipresent source... the
oceanic field of life breath that so generously shares its sacred
miriacle of life with us and as us...

Creation, is the self sacrifice of the Goddess.
She is totally present as the intelligence and will that guides and moves every atom of Life...
Therapeutic Presence: The Healing Power Of The Soul
The wisdom of ancient India reveals that the
universe is a living, breathing, conscious being. The stuff of creation
is consciousness…. every quark of creation is self organizing
Intelligence. Energy fields, are self organizing, reacting to their
environment, maintaining homeostasis. This recursiveness, the ability to
self-correct from experience, is the definition of intelligence.
In the body, we experience this essence as lucidity. Lucidity,
awareness, mindfulness, cognizance… consciousness is the distinguishing
feature of life. To be alive is to be conscious, to be conscious is to
be alive.
In our healing work, we call this intelligence “therapeutic presence”,
the healing power of the Soul…. As bodyworkers we can entrain this power
through our own stillness and presence. Before we touch our client we
cultivate a deep stillness by establishing our own fulcrums.
In a living breathing field, the center is dynamic. A moving, breathing,
dynamic center is called a fulcrum. When we align a fulcrum… its called
potentiation. We facilitate coherence in a living field to enhance its
receptivity to an inner higher potential of life giving, healing, Soul
force.
Through intention, visualization, and breath… we ground to the Earth…
rooting our hara with the Earth. We then breathe awareness into
sushumna, life’s ultrasonic core. Next, we move to the heart of our
field, and consciously remember our compassionate intention. We then
tune deeper into self, by elevating our consciousnesses through an
invocation to higher intelligence. Now we can gently, consciously, touch
our client.
Life is a field of intelligence. Every atom of creation is self
organizing. In the macrocosm of the body, we experience this essence as
“Presence”. Presence is our highest vibrational, most powerful healing
energy. Presence is an inter-dimensional portal.
In ancient India, this life giving, self organizing intelligence has
traditionally been personified as Gods and Goddesses. The God Shiva… is
often called Maha Deva… Great Spirit. The roots of Śhiva in folk
etymology is "śī" which means "in whom all things lie, pervasiveness"
and va which means "embodiment of grace”…The god Vishnu, personifies the
Sanskrit root … viś to pervade. Goddess Saraswati, means essence of
Self, the creative intelligence which rides on the swan of the breath.
The Upanishads are revered as the pinnacle of the ancient esoteric
teachings of the India. In the Brhad-aranyaka Upanishad (which is
considered to be one of the most important of the Upanishads), the sage
Yajnavalkya explains: “As a mass of salt is without inside, without
outside, is altogether a mass of taste, even so, verily, is this Self
without inside, without outside, altogether a mass of intelligence
only.”
As healers, counselors and bodyworkers its valuable to understand our
own essence as intelligence, within a universal fabric of living
intelligence. This realization, empowers our intention, and our ability
to communicate with other dimensions of an all pervasive Intelligence,
which we call Therapeutic Presence, the healing power of the Soul.
You are invited to join us in India this January to cultivate a deeper
connection to your inherent divinity. To nourish lucidity, peace and
well-being as your natural state. To recognize on a deep personal,
cellular level, this profoundly healing, ecstatic Presence as your own
Divine Self.

is a labyrinth (the spell correction suggested labradoodle). We wander
through life searching for the ...sanctum sanctorum of Truth... pursued
by the beast of history, culture... a cosmos of interminable
ignorance...
Life reveals her divinity in the naked omnipresent truth of Nature. A Goddess...her beauty, her divinity...Is.
The
sanctuary of a wagging tail, or purring furry... the celebration that
is a flower or the sound of a bubbling brook. The gift of witnessing a child’s unfolding...The liberating depth of a smile or laugh. What Truth is their higher than all this?
Life reveals her divinity in the naked omnipresent truth of Nature. A Goddess...her beauty, her divinity...Is.

Clear Stress, Shock & Trauma
Safely, Immediately...
Through Energy Healing
Dr
Randolph Stone, is considered by many, to be the father of Energy
Medicine in the west. In a professional life that spanned more than 60
years as a naturopathic physician, Stone developed a profoundly
effective system of energy balancing called Polarity Therapy.
Stone
viewed the body as a field of energy. He took the ancient dynamics of
yang and yin, rajas and tamas, Fire and Water, and translated them into
the scientific language of positive, negative and neutral
electro-magnetic fields... thus the name Polarity Therapy.
In
chart #20 Dr. Stone illustrates the polarity of the Sympathetic and
Parasympathetic Nervous Systems and illustrates hands-on principles for
clearing stress, shock and trauma from the molecular energy fields to
facilitate profound and immediate life changing healing! Application of
these principles usually facilitates a release of the past and a turning
point in the clients life.
Dr.
Stone understood how in stress, shock and trauma, the mind obsessed on
the perceived threats... sending a myriad of confused and contradictory
mental and emotional impulses into the sympathetic nervous system (fight
or flight). Over the months and years of obsession, the contradictory
impulses block the energy fields of the body as emotional armoring.
A
key to healing the heart and quieting the mind is to release emotional
armoring from the cellular memory of the nervous system.
Dr
Stone's Polarity Principles offer safe, simple, immediate, lasting,
effective release of emotional armoring to clear blocked energy and to
restore mental and emotional health, well-being and inner peace!

A Key to the Mystery of Life and Consciousness
In The Secret Teaching of All Ages, Manley Hall, describes E.D.Babbitt as a genius and puts an image of Babbitt's Atom in the center of the first page of his encyclopedia of esoteric, Rosicrucian and Kabbalistic knowledge.Hall, founder of the Philosophical Research Society, a leading American mystery school, underscores Babbitt's Atom as the key to the secret teachings of all ages.
Babbitt cultivated a breakthrough micro-clarvoyant vision unfolding the dynamics of the atomic world. In his brilliant book The
Principles of Light and Color. He explained "the Harmonic Laws of the
Universe, the Etherio-Atomic Philosophy of Force, Chromo Chemistry,
Chromo Therapeutics and the General Philosophy of the Finer Forces..."

The three core principles of the Goddess Way of Life are immanence, interconnection, and community.*
Immanence means that the Goddess, the Gods,
are embodied, that we are each a manifestation
of the living being of the earth, that nature, culture,
and life in all their diversity are sacred. Immanence
calls us to live our spirituality here in the world,
to take action to preserve the life of the earth,
to live with integrity and responsibility.
Interconnection is the understanding that all being is interrelated,
that we are linked with all of the cosmos
as parts of one living organism.
What affects one of us affects us all…
So interconnection demands from us compassion,
the ability to feel with others so strongly
that our passion for justice is itself aroused.
And the Goddess way is lived in community.
Its primary focus is not individual salvation
or enlightenment or enrichment
but the growth and transformation
that comes through intimate interactions
and common struggles.
Community includes not only people
but also the animals, plants, soil,
air and water and energy systems
that support our lives.
Community is personal-one's closest friends,
relatives, and lovers, those to whom we are accountable.
But in a time of global communications,
catastrophes, and potential violence,
community must also be seen
as reaching out to include all the earth.

Toppling The Dominant Paradigm...
Every Concept of God That We Entertain Is A Hallucination
We have been brainwashed for thousands of years to buy into
monotheism...a world view based on a deist paradigm. Deism pictures god
in a heaven... outside of creation.
The Abrahamic religions... are the religions of warlords. The biblical
Jehovah of monotheism is a jealous and angry god. The bible demands
pillage, rape and plunder as a religious duty. The Old Testament
commands its followers conquer, murder and enslave pagans who
believe.... That Nature, Life, the Earth herself, is Sacred.
Who worship a goddess who is our Mother Earth..
Pagans, traditionally kiss the sacred earth, each morning in reverence.
While most of us are confused by abstract concepts of the divine or
anthropomorphic images which seek to personify divinity. Traditional
people may have been immersed in a way of life in which they experienced
all of life as sacred. Where nature herself was a Goddess. Where every
relationship was an experience of the divine.
Monotheism is the world view of predatory patriarchal societies
which conquered the peaceful earth-worshiping neolithic people of Old
Europe. (See the work of Marija Gimbutas, who's Kurgan invasion
hypotheses is now supported by cutting edge DNA research. Gimbutus
argues that for tens of thousand years Earth worshipping people lived
in peace in equalitarian villages in old Europe.)
It is the Diest paradigm, that allows predatory capitalism to rape and plunder our Mother Earth.
For thousands of years of inquisitions and witch burning, the obvious
reality that all life is sacred has been banished from conventional
wisdom. Scientific convention, the brain-child of
the medieval church, is blinded by the same materialistic
biblical paradigm. Individual who question convention are labeled and
prosecuted as "eco-terrorists"
If we lived in a world where Mother Nature was recognized as
a Goddess, where all Life was recognized as sacred...where
the life of our Mother Earth was revered and cared for as our own
life.... we would not be racing toward an ecological
armageddon.
Pan is calling...
Revelation is a classic quality of the divine.
Naive phenomenology is an epistemology (criteria for knowing)
which validates our individual subjective experience.
Revelation is a classic quality of the divine. Our Sacred
Life reveals itself in the experience of peace that we experience in
Nature, in the Garden, in Loving. Our Sacred Life reveals itself in
the ecstasy of good health, freedom to dance and the joy of
creativity and learning. Our Sacred life reveals itself in Seva...
kindness, generosity, service and sharing.
WAKE UP! Pan is Calling You....
There is an inherent experience of the sacred in Life. In Health,
in Service, In Growth... Drop the brainwashing my fellow zombies...
every concept of God that you entertain is a hallucination ...
The Divine is revealing herself in every joyous breath, every sparkling
smile, every revelatory moment! All Life is Sacred, Your Life is
Sacred...
Everything you have been seeking you already are!
I Am That...An Affirmation of Universal Life
There is a Self-Organizing Intelligence which is at the heart of everything in Creation…
You can call this omnipresent Intelligence God… or The Great
Mystery… I call her Life. She is an omnipresent Goddess.
Sages call this Ubiquitous Intelligence… The Self. While everything
else is changing… this Consciousness… is an unchanging Presence.
It is this Presence, Cognizance, Awareness, Lucidity of the Self
that illuminates all experience.
Life and Consciousness are inextricably bound… to be alive is to be
conscious… to be conscious is to be alive. It is exactly the same Life…
exactly same Presence, exactly the same self organizing intelligence...
the definitive quality of all living things... that is in
every sentient being.
Affirmation of the Universal Life
I am that without boundaries, limitations or separation.
I am a universal life of indescribable energy and unlimited consciousness.
The stars and the planets are the cells of my body.
I am filled with indescribable energy and unlimited consciousness.
I am willing energy from that that I am . . .
Maha Vishnu . . . The Great Spirit
Narayana . . . The Soul of The Universe
Maha Saraswati . . . Goddess of wisdom. (Saraswati means essence of Self)
To manifest radiant health, perfect health, divine health.
To manifest deep inner peace, equanimity, serenity.
To manifest, Self realization, illumination, liberation.
May peace and justice prevail on Earth.
1. “Marija [Gimbutas]’s Kurgan hypothesis has been magnificently vindicated.”
Since Merlin Stone’s revolutionary study, When God Was A Women, we have
come to understand that for thousands of years of prehistory the worship
of Nature and the Great Mother Goddess prevailed in Europe. matrifocal,
agrarian peace loving society invaded by a patrilineal militaristic
Current DNA evidence demands our prehistory be rewritten! Marija
Gimbutas’s thesis that a Europe was a land of relative peaceful
place…homes and villages we’re built without fortification or sited for
beauty rather than defensiblity…. for thousands of years before an
invasion from the steppes north of the Black Sea by invaders she called
“Kurgans.”
Gimbutas spoke of these as “big man” graves, arguing that they marked
the appearance of a new cultural group into Europe—one that was
patriarchal, patrilineal, and warlike. Before their arrival, the people
Gimbutas called “Old Europeans” buried their dead in communal graves,
with grave offerings indicating no great difference in wealth or status
and no domination of one sex over the other. Gimbutas argued that the
“Kurgan” people introduced Indo-European languages into the lands they
conquered, as well as new cultural systems based on domination of
warriors and kings over the general populace and the domination of men
over women. She stated that the Kurgan invasions of Europe began about
4400 BCE and lasted for several millennia.
Reading the old testament reminds us that monotheism is the religion of
warlords. Jehovah is an angry and jealous god. Constantly calling for
the total destruction of other gods.
Textually, the Old Testament becomes the first handbook of holy war,
i.e., the first time such an ideology was written down, as the rules of
the game—as the game itself—for a whole people. Both Christianity and
Islam recognize the Old Testament as a sacred text. The historic
fanaticism of both religions derives its holy war fervor and rationale
from the words of the biblical prophets, presented as "the Word of God."
These words incite and justify religious war as the will of God. Yahweh
is called the jealous God. What was Yahweh jealous of? Of the Goddess,
and her lover, of their sacred-sexual relation itself, and of its
domination over the minds and hearts and bodies of generations of
Neo-lithic people. This is why the God and religion of the Bible are
identified so clearly from all other preceding gods and religions: The
Bible God and his religion are based on a violently asexual, or
ant-isexual morality never before seen on earth. Sex—the source of life
and pleasure of love—becomes the enemy of God. 1

Voice Diagnosis is the easiest way to hear an elemental Imbalance...
People reflect their underlying predominant elemental/archetypal resonance.
Ether Spaced out, expanded, cosmic
Air Lives in ideas, thoughts, talks fast
Fire Action oriented. No patience for talk
Water Lives in Feelings
Earth Solid, practical, down to earth
Its easy to hear an elemental imbalance in the clients voice. The voice of a person with an Ether imbalance
may be spacey, faint, not present. An Air imbalance is characterized by
fast and or incessant talking. A Fire imbalance is angry, and Water
imbalance whiny. An Earth imbalance is passive aggressive, turning their back, withdrawing or putting up walls.
Here
is an amazing chart, where we identify the elemental imbalances which
underlie psychological states. In the chart you see a spectrum of states
of consciousness as Sattvic: balanced, Rajasic: overly expanded and
Tamasic: overly contracted in combination with the elemental keynotes of
consciousness.
To
understand the chart, first read the Sattvic, Actualizing qualities.
Then compare the overly expanded Rajasic and overly contracted Tamasic
qualities.

Astrological glyphs are archetypal energy patterns
not symbols, arbitrary carriers of meaning.
Astrologically defined fields of resonance are a fundamental organizing
principle of the body. The most fundamental features of the gross
anatomy of the body offer a suggestive parallel to the astrological
glyphs. These glyphs point to the fundamental types of arcs/archetypes,
or harmonics of resonance, which manifest through the body.
The astrological “signs” can be better understood literally
as archetypal energy patterns rather than as symbols, arbitrary carriers
of meaning. We suggest that the twelve astrological glyphs actually
depict twelve archetypal energy patterns—twelve moments (types of
arcs or harmonic resonances), twelve processes in the creation cycle.
Each of the twelve patterns sustains a body part/energy field with a
unique predominant resonant frequency and archetypal/astrological
attunement to the universe. Differences in the physical qualities of the
body are reflections of the differences in the energy fields. In each
of the successive phases we picture energy moving downward and outward
into manifestation, becoming more and more physical in our bodies as
microcosms of the process of creation in which energy crystallizes from
Spirit into matter. Notice that each of the glyphs embodies a
duality—two arcs in a dynamic, bilateral yet stable phase
relationship of polarity. This points to the fundamental resonant
organizing processes of the universal holomovement of rajas and tamas.
This gestalt of wholeness of the astrological "glyphs" can be called the
“archetypal harmonic integrity” of the body.
Body cavities are thus identified as having unique predominant resonant
frequencies, each of them in tune with universal, archetypal forces. For
example there is a fundamental difference between the watery energy
field of Cancer ♋︎, the breast, and the Fiery energy field of Leo
♌︎, the solar plexus. Each is a unique resonant environment. These
astrologically defined fields of resonance are a fundamental organizing
principle of the body. We now picture the twelve phases of "the four
rivers of life" in their three polarities of emanation that sustain
materialization.
Goddess becomes creation…the world is the Self-Sacrifice of the
Goddess… The Sanskrit term for The Creator is Brahma. Brahma is
an ever expanding breath of Life. Breath the vehicle for an ever
evolving Life. The One Breath, the One Life is in each moment unfolding
her creative potency through creation. All breath is her breath, all
life is her Life.
In each moment she unfolds her creative potency through all that
breathes. All breath is her breath. You and I are her face…you
and I are the cutting edge of the unfolding of the creative potential of
life. You and I are the personification of this universal creative
process.
You personify an instant of the Universe. Your first breath imprints, your place in the Cosmos.
If you are born with the sun rising when the Earth is facing the
constellation Taurus. Your rising sign and the surface of your
personality reflect the Tauren qualities. You are a Toyota of humanity,
reliable, practical, never breaking down (incidentally Toyota’s
logo is the glyph for Taurus). Born 4 hours later, you personify the
sensitive and high maintenance qualities of Cancer.
Each of is the face of God, the personification of her Being. We are the
product of ultimate intelligence, ultimate wisdom and ultimate love
manifesting in her omnipresence.
Your sentience, your vulnerability, your tenderness, your capacity to
feel is Goddess given. Your dharma is to be you, the unique and deeply
feeling face of the Goddess…Maturity is a process of cultivating
the resources to be safe to be authentic and fully present in your
life’s journey.
We live in a time that seeks to invalidate and desensitize us and to deny our sacred sentience.
Your Dharma is to be fully present in your feelings, safe to be fully present in your body, safe to express this in your life!
Guided by higher intelligence, in a sacred space, we safely and gently,
clear life’s deepest issues. We invite you to reclaim your body,
your feelings and your authenticity…

In the Spiral Dance, the sage Starhawk reminds us...
"The three core principles of Goddess religion are immanence, interconnection, and community.
Immanence means that the Goddess, the Gods, are embodied, that we are
each a manifestation of the living being of the earth, that nature,
culture, and life in all their diversity are sacred. Immanence calls us
to live our spirituality here in the world, to take action to preserve
the life of the earth, to live with integrity and responsibility.
Interconnection is the understanding that all being is interrelated,
that we are linked with all of the cosmos as parts of one living
organism. What affects one of us affects us all... So interconnection
demands from us compassion, the ability to feel with others so strongly
that our passion for justice is itself aroused.
And Goddess religion is lived in community. Its primary focus is not
individual salvation or enlightenment or enrichment but the growth and
transformation that comes through intimate interactions and common
struggles.
Community includes not only people but also the animals, plants, soil,
air and water and energy systems that support our lives. Community is
personal-one's closest friends, relatives, and lovers, those to whom we
are accountable.
But in a time of global communications, catastrophes, and potential
violence, community must also be seen as reaching out to include all the
earth."

South IndiaDravidianSpirituality is said to be older than time, older than this creation. LordShivaone
of the principle contemporary icons of these traditions is often
portrayed as androgynous... transcending the duality of female and male.
Shiva(Siva in Sanskrit)is an aspect of the Hindu Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Shivais the personification of the aspect of theGreat Mysteryunderstood as tamas guna which rules the crystallization of consciousness as matter.
The Sanskrit word Shiva is often translated as “auspicious”, and may refer to the scintillating divine qualities of our life on earth. The
brilliance of the light of seeing, tasting, touching... of
consciousness experiencing embodiment. The agony and ecstasy
of each moment, as our amazing lives unfold.
In one of the root legends of ancient India...The Gods Vishnu and Brahma were rocking the universe, quarreling as to who was the superior Deity. To restore equilibrium,Shivaappeared as a flaming lingam,
and challenged them to find his source. Brahma took the form
of a swan, and flew to the sky, ascending toward the heavens to find the
top of the flame, while Vishnu became the boar Varaha, and sought its base in the depths of the earth. Neither Brahma nor Vishnu could find the source and humbled by the infinity of this flame... they bowed to Shiva.

the flame of Life, without beginning or end… everywhere, always,
eternal, forever and ever and ever... Read more.>>

The World Is Music: Key to the Mystery of Creation
TheVedasare
the ancient esoteric teachings of India. They form the foundation of
orthodox Hindu philosophy and are at the root of all oriental
philosophy.
The vedic epiphany reveals that the world is the self-sacrifice of the creator… God becomes the world… An omnipresent intelligence expresses its creative potency through creation.
In the Vedic revelation,God does not create the world…Goddess becomes the world.*
Western religion and science offer adeistparadigm.
In deist philosophies, God lies outside creation. The Vedic worldview
is profoundly different; here the world is the self-sacrifice of the
creator.The world is God.All creation is sacred.To know thy Self, is to know God.
Brahma,
the creator, can be characterized as an ever expanding breath. In this
cosmology, everything that moves in creation is the breath of Brahma.
The spiraling galaxies of stars, whirling planetary systems, atmospheric
rhythms of our Gaia’s life cycles, and the all pervasive breath that
animates all life on Earth is a unitary rhythm.
In
this ancient paradigm, the universe is a living, breathing, conscious
Being. In exactly the same way that the breath of life animates our body
the universe is sustained by the breath of Brahma.
How
does the breath of life animate our body? How do the rhythms of
inspiration and expiration sustain life? What is the mechanism through
which respiration enlivens the body? Our Hypothesis is biological
resonance.
Pranais the life breath of a living universe. (From sanskrit rootspra-forth and the verb-rootan-to breathe)
The body… as all of nature and the cosmos… is a musical instrument played by the breath of life…
The World Is Music:
The vedas reveal that the world is sung into being. The ancient Sanskrit grammarian,Bhartrhari,states in hisVakyapadiya 1.112 “Vageva Vishwa Bhuvanani Jajne”The Universe is Birthed by Sound!
An
unfathomable intelligence conceives of a goddess… who sings the world
into creation. The ground state out of which creation emerges is thepranava(frompra-nu,to reverberate) of the primordial Holy Word…AUM.
Creation is vibrating as an expression of ultimate intelligence,
ultimate wisdom, ultimate love… in a universal harmony of praise.
The GoddessSaraswatiplays the vina of creation…
The GoddessSaraswatiis
the personification of this mystery, the embodiment of an all pervasive
divine creative intelligence. Her vehicle is the swan…the highest
flying bird, which symbolizes the breath of life, the supreme principle
in a living creation.The Great Mystery of life and consciousness, is carried on the breath.
Saraswati’scelestial instrument is thevina, which symbolizes creation. Thus we have Ultimate Intelligence, carried on the breath of life, playing the music of creation.
For
millennium musical instruments were often fashioned from the guts and
hides of animals. For these guts and hides, resonated most profoundly
with the mystery of music and the winds that carried these sounds to the
heart and mind.
There
is no musical instrument more perfect than the human body. Indeed the
human body… like all of nature… is a musical instrument. The ancients
understood this. The ancient sciences ofYangandYin, PittaandKapha, Sulfer andSaltwere based on this vibrational knowledge of the primacy of inspiration and expiration, of the breath of life.
The latin word for breath isspiritus.It comes from the same roots as our word spiral… It isSpiritusthat
plays the instrument of nature. As we breathe, the tissue of our bodies
are stretched by the act of breathing in a cycle of atunement to nature
and the cosmos. On cellular and molecular levels the tissues stretches
to modulate it’s musical pitch. As we breathe in, there is a lengthening
of the tissue to the keynote of resonance that, cross culturally and
trans-historically, the ancients called the Air element. Thus through
atunement to the keynote Air, life force stepped down from the subtle
universal elements into the gross material elements of form. Then in
quantum fashion the inhalation ballooned the tissue into the radiant
keynote and it entrained with the creative potency of the solar Fire
element. Next in the cycle of breath is a still-point, where inner and
outer forces came into balance at the Earth elemental resonance. Then as
the diaphragm descends… the tissue contracts into resonance with the
lunar keynote of the Water element. Nature is a fabric of ultrasonic
resonance, attuned to the keynotes of: Earth, solidity; Water, the fluid
medium for life force; Fire, the functioning of creative intelligence;
Air the feedback process which is the essence of intelligence; and Ether
which modulates sacred space between the subtle universal elements of
the cosmos and the material elements of nature.
The Sanskrit wordgunais derived from an Indo-European basegere…”twirl” or “wind”…The
gunas describe spiraling vortices of vibrating energy fields. Breathing
is a process of cosmic and natural atunnment that sustains life. As we
breathe, the lengthening of the tissue, on a molecular level, entrains
with the Source or Life Field ofSattva Gunaand
facilitates a step down of energy from the subtle universal to the
gross material elements. Inspiration, modalities the molecular fields
into entrainment with the creative potency of the solar resonance of the
Fire element as the field leaps in quantum fashion toRajas Guna. As the diaphragm descends, the field on every level of microcosm entrains withTamas gunaand
the centripetal qualities of the Water element. Life is sustained by
the breath, through a process of cosmic and natural atunenment. Cross
culturally and trans historically the sciences of the ancients was
rooted in this understanding of nature and the cosmos as a living
breathing conscious being.
All of nature is vibrating in a life giving state of praise attuned to the voice of the GoddessSaraswatisinging the holy word… singing the music of creation.Saraswatimeans
essence of Self. This understanding is a key to understanding the great
mystery of life force energy. In Energy Medicine, we work with the body
and nature through this ancient epiphany of the world as music. Our
approach to energy healing is defined by a constant intention to address
the Soul…the animating intelligence in the body… holistically, through
hands-on bodywork, healing diet, vitalizing movement and liberating
insight into the unity and sacredness of all life.

You Are Shiva…
Shiva (Siva in Sanskrit) is an aspect of the Hindu Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Shiva is the personification of the aspect of the Great Mystery understood as tamas guna which rules the crystallization of consciousness as matter.
The Sanskrit word Shiva is often translated as “auspicious”,
and may refer to the scintillating divine qualities of our life on
earth. The brilliance of the light of seeing, tasting, touching...
of consciousness experiencing embodiment. The agony and ecstasy
of each moment, as our amazing lives unfold.
In one of the root legends of ancient India...The Gods Vishnu and Brahma were rocking the universe, quarreling as to who was the superior Deity. To restore equilibrium, Shiva appeared as a flaming lingam, and challenged them to find his source. Brahma took the form of a swan, and flew to the sky, ascending toward the heavens to find the top of the flame, while Vishnu became the boar Varaha, and sought its base in the depths of the earth. Neither Brahma nor Vishnu could find the source and humbled by the infinity of this flame... they bowed to Shiva.
Perhaps... Shiva represents the flame of Life, without beginning or end… everywhere, always, eternal, forever and ever and ever…
Shiva is often portrayed as androgynous,
embodying the union of Spirit and Matter…
Shiva
is the light of life…the brilliance of consciousness…that
illuminates each instant of our experience. At times we are Shiva taking the form of Vishnu as the the boar Varaha
infused with His strength, spelunking the deep dark caves of the
infinite possibility of pain and suffering that our human experience
offers.
Often we become the Swan of creative possibility, of Brahma and his ShaktiSaraswati
soaring to the sublime ecstatic heights of embodied experience. We are
the cutting edge of the unfolding of infinite possibility expressed in
the unique dimension of Earthly experience.
The God Shiva… is often called Maha Deva… Great Spirit. The roots of Śhiva in folk etymology is "śī" which means "in whom all things lie, pervasiveness" and va which means "embodiment of grace”…
Arunachala (Annamalai) or red mountain in Tiruvannamalai, India, is recognized as this lingam, the embodiment of Shiva as the Infinite Light of Consciousness, portrayed in this ancient legend.
As westerners coming from a monotheistic tradition we mistake images which personify Shiva for Shiva...
Pre-biblical spirituality was animistic and pantheistic. It
reflected a natural world of omnipresent agency, mystery, splendor and
intelligence, where all of nature, all of life, all creation was sacred.
Monotheism extracts God from the Earth, and offers a pie in the sky
God...With God in heaven... somewhere??? You can do as you like on
earth. Traditionally Lord Shiva has been worshiped as rocks, and trees,
mountains and rivers, worshiped as Nature her self. Shiva is often worshiped as an earthy phallus, ancient banyan tree, and holy mountain. Nandy the bull, who’s name means peace, is Shiva’s vehicle.
Shiva is often portrayed as androgynous, embodying the union of Spirit and Matter… Shiva’s manifest form is feminine Shakti. Shakti is prakritti... Nature... The Self-Sacrifice of The Goddess as This Sacred Creation. This Sacred Earth!
To cherish and to serve the Earth is to worship Shiva.
The beauty of life that we love so much is Shiva.
Our own life, which we cherish so selfishly, is Shiva.
Look no further, everything you are seeking, you already are! Aum Namah Shivaya!
Honor to this scintillating… auspicious, omnipresent, divine life!

A Key to Healing the Heart and Quieting the Mind is to
Release Emotional Armoring from the Cellular Memory of the Nervous System.
The
10th Cranial or Vagus Nerve was classical called the Pneumogastric
nerve as it controlled the lungs, heart and all the organs of
digestion... moving the body from a body building Parasympathetic state
of rest and relaxation to Sympathetic activation of fight or flight in
an instant.
Dr Randolph Stone, founder of Polarity Therapy developed a spiritual
model of the body as energy. He viewed the Soul as the nucleus of the
energy fields of the body. Stone understood energy in nature to be
cyclical. A movement from a neutral source, into a expansive positive
field and then contracting in a negative phase back to the source.
Dr
Stone took the ancient dynamics of yang and yin, rajas and tamas, Fire
and Water, and translated them into the scientific language of positive,
negative and neutral electro-magnetic fields... thus the name Polarity
Therapy.
Dr
Stone is regarded by many as the father of western Energy Medicine. In
his Evolutionary Energy Charts, published in 1959, Dr Stone views the
nervous system in terms of the classical dynamics of Fire, Water and
Air.
In
chart #20 Dr. Stone illustrates the polarity of the Sympathetic and
Parasympathetic Nervous Systems and illustrates hands-on principles for
clearing stress, shock and trauma from the molecular energy fields to
facilitate profound and immediate life changing healing!
Dr.
Stone understood how in stress, shock and trauma, the mind obsessed on
the perceived threats... sending a myriad of confused and contradictory
mental and emotional impulses into the sympathetic nervous system (fight
or flight). Over the months and years of obsession, the contradictory
impulses block the energy fields of the body as emotional armoring.
A
key to healing the heart and quieting the mind is to release emotional
armoring from the cellular memory of the nervous system.
Dr
Stone's Polarity Principles offer safe, simple, immediate, lasting,
effective release of emotional armoring to clear blocked energy and to
restore mental and emotional health, well-being and inner peace!

Healing The Abyss: the total, final, complete, permanent annihilation of suffering!
Shame, guilt, fear, self loathing…. often shadow our experience of life.
Most of us try to understand this pain in terms of biographical or
psychological damage. Indian philosophy reveals that this pain is
vibrational… rooted in a lifestyle, where we fall out of harmony with
Life.
Samkhya is an Indian philosophy, that dates from 1500BCE and is
the philosophical basis of yoga. Samkhya, views creation as a
dance between Consciousness (Purusa) and matter (prakrti).
A passionate application of the principles of Samkhya promises the total, final, complete, permanent annihilation of suffering!
Life is breath, all life forms and life process
are sustained, created and rooted in breath. Indian philosophy
understands the Universe as a living breathing conscious being, in which
everything that moves, is moving as a part of a universal life breath.
Creation steps down from universal consciousness into material forms in
three stages. These stages are called “gunas”. While guna is usually
translated as “quality”, the word guna comes from the Indo-European
linguistic root gere to “twirl” or “wind” pointing to a
dynamic image of energy fields which underlie the quality of our experience.
Micro-clairvoyant image of a guna
Infinitely recursive self organizing life field
We can best understand the gunas, by picturing them as stages in the
process of breathing. The first stage is sattva guna, a
still-point which is the source of the cycle of the breath. Sattva guna
is an inner attunement of the field and is an inter-dimensional portal.
Sattva guna, describes a field that is vibrating in entrainment with its
source in Being. Sattva is the force of equilibrium in nature, and is a
state of Soul communion which is experienced as a profound inner peace.
As we inhale, living fields expand into entrainment with the solar force
of Rajas guna. We are inspired, by the Fire of rajas guna, to
manifestation. Rajas guna describes the qualities of Fire, the passion
of creation, joy, excitement, power as Life unfolds its creativity.
The third stage is tamas guna, tamas means to perish, and tamas guna is
exhalation, the stage where consciousness crystallizes into the lunar
dimensions of vibration which we experience as matter.
In Samkhya our pain is rooted in our falling out of entrainment (yoga)
with Being. A condition of ontological terror... an experience of
disconnection from our inherent divinity and our source Life.
Our Energy As Medicine training is unique in the healing arts for our
constant intention to address the Soul (the animating intelligence of
Life). We address the Soul, holistically through energy balancing body
work, that releases trauma and stress from the cellular memory of the
body to promote yoga, union with your divine Self.
We share energy exercises, that promote joint mobilization and joyous
attunement with the higher vibrational forces of the Life fields of a
living Earth.
We share the blessings of the daily practice of Mantra Yoga,
understanding that creation is sung into manifestation and our natural
state is praise!
We facilitate Karma Yoga, “work as worship”, through the
“gift of giving” sharing the privilege of compassionate service through
the natural healing arts.
We promote Soul Communion through Bhakti Yoga, ecstatic recognition of your inherent divinity.
We promote a sattvic vegetarian diet as a foundation of healing, health and inner peace.
Kipila, the rishi credited with formulating Samkhya, promises that
your passionate investment in this way of life to promote yoga… a
molecular transformation of constant communion with your inherent Divine
Self… offers the total, final, complete, permanent annihilation of your
suffering!

Creation, is the self sacrifice of the Goddess. She is totally present as the intelligence and will that guides and moves every atom of Life...
Therapeutic Presence: The Healing Power Of The Soul
The
wisdom of ancient India reveals that the universe is a living,
breathing, conscious being. The stuff of creation is
consciousness…. every quark of creation is self organizing
Intelligence. Energy fields, are self organizing, reacting to their
environment, maintaining homeostasis. This recursiveness, the ability to
self-correct from experience, is the definition of intelligence.
In
the body, we experience this essence as lucidity. Lucidity, awareness,
mindfulness, cognizance… consciousness is the distinguishing
feature of life. To be alive is to be conscious, to be conscious is to
be alive.
In our healing work, we call this intelligence
“therapeutic presence”, the healing power of the
Soul…. As bodyworkers we can entrain this power through our own
stillness and presence. Before we touch our client we cultivate a deep
stillness by establishing our own fulcrums.
In
a living breathing field, the center is dynamic. A moving, breathing,
dynamic center is called a fulcrum. When we align a fulcrum… its
called potentiation. We facilitate coherence in a living field to
enhance its receptivity to an inner higher potential of life giving,
healing, Soul force.
Through
intention, visualization, and breath… we ground to the
Earth… rooting our hara with the Earth. We then breathe awareness
into sushumna, life’s ultrasonic core. Next, we move to the heart
of our field, and consciously remember our compassionate intention. We
then tune deeper into self, by elevating our consciousnesses through an
invocation to higher intelligence. Now we can gently, consciously, touch
our client.
Life
is a field of intelligence. Every atom of creation is self organizing.
In the macrocosm of the body, we experience this essence as
“Presence”. Presence is our highest vibrational, most
powerful healing energy. Presence is an inter-dimensional portal.
In
ancient India, this life giving, self organizing intelligence has
traditionally been personified as Gods and Goddesses. The God Shiva… is often called Maha Deva… Great Spirit. The roots of Śhiva in folk etymology is "śī" which means "in whom all things lie, pervasiveness" and va which means "embodiment of grace”…The god Vishnu, personifies the Sanskrit root … viś to pervade. Goddess Saraswati, means essence of Self, the creative intelligence which rides on the swan of the breath.
The Upanishads are revered as the pinnacle of the ancient esoteric teachings of the India. In the Brhad-aranyaka Upanishad (which is considered to be one of the most important of the Upanishads), the sage Yajnavalkya
explains: “As a mass of salt is without inside, without outside,
is altogether a mass of taste, even so, verily, is this Self without
inside, without outside, altogether a mass of intelligence only.”
As
healers, counselors and bodyworkers its valuable to understand our own
essence as intelligence, within a universal fabric of living
intelligence. This realization, empowers our intention, and our ability
to communicate with other dimensions of an all pervasive Intelligence,
which we call Therapeutic Presence, the healing power of the Soul.
You
are invited to join us in India this January to cultivate a deeper
connection to your inherent divinity. To nourish lucidity, peace and
well-being as your natural state. To recognize on a deep personal,
cellular level, this profoundly healing, ecstatic Presence as your own
Divine Self.

Truth Can Only Be Lived…..
As Living Beings We have a Duty to Affirm
The Divinity Of All Life And
To Honor The Sacred In All Creation…
Gandhi’s
life exemplifies a way of life where “God” is not an
abstract philosophical concept…but a way of life.
For Gandhi, Truth was God… But Truth was not a concept… but a way of life.
Mahatma
Gandhi’s life exemplifies the power and possibilities of practicing
Dharma (living truthfully). Experiencing the injustice of racial
prejudice, Gandhi saw that moral and political injustice were based on
ignorance of the sacredness and unity of life. He became convinced that
it is not enough for the individual merely to do good, but that we had a
duty to actively face evil. A duty to practice the truth… that all life
is sacred. Living demands a duty to affirm the dignity of life and
honor the sacred in all creation.
Gandhi
hurled himself into the battlefield of life. He taught satyagraha,
“clinging to Truth.” Truth was Ghandi’s method and Truth his goal. For
Gandhi, Truth was not a concept, but was a way of life.
For
the Mahatma (one in touch with the Oneness of Being), the means were as
important as the end. His every action was based on the knowledge of
the unity and divinity of all life. In a state of realization of the
unity of all life, Gandhi cared for each being as his own God-Self.
Gandhi
taught by example. He dealt with all beings in a spirit of humility
with the deepest respect for their Divinity. He insisted on seeing the
Divine in his most ignorant adversaries. The Truth behind his action was
a profound experience for everyone whose life was touched by this
Knowledge.
He
described his life as “my experiments with truth.” As he matured in
this experiment, he came to the realization that Truth is God. In the
practice of his life he experienced that as he cared for the life around
him in a “truthful,” unselfish way, he experienced the sacred in every
gesture.
As
he cared for people and nature in a nonviolent (Ahimsa), unexploitative
way that honored the divinity of all life, he experienced a life where
every relationship was service to God. Through practicing Dharma, his
every action was an experience of the sacred.
Namaskar . . . Honor to the Divine within

A Unique Synthesis of
Somatic & Transpersonal Psychology
1. Control unconscious forces that run your life!
Over
the last forty years the human potential movement, has made great
strides in healing shock and trauma. A foundation of our approach is the
research of Eugene Gendlin PhD, founder of a self help technique
called Focusing. Dr
Gendlin recorded thousands of psychotherapy sessions to understand what
dynamics led to success. In his research, Gendlen found that
successful psychotherapy was a rarity and had nothing to do
with the qualities or training of the psychotherapist.
Gendlin
came to understand that shock and trauma were not held in the mind or
emotions. Therapies that focused on the mind were largely ineffective
and emotion based processes re-traumatized the nervous system.
Gendlin came to understand that shock and trauma were held in a much more primordial level of the body. He called this level“The Felt Sense”.The felt sense is the bodies own way of knowing its experience through its own reaction to experience.
In
trauma the self-organizing intelligence in the bodily tissue, is
overwhelmed and shuts down. A profound clearing of the past, safely and
easily takes place, as we are simply guided to be fully present in the
tissue and energy of the body. OurPresenceis the self organizing intelligence of the Soul, of Life
The client does not have
to re-experience the trauma, they simply need to be guided, to the
experience that its safe to be fully present in their body. Presence
realigns the cellular intelligence of the life field to clear the past.
Light Overwhelms Darkness!
Gendlen
fathered a revolution in Psychology, today their are many deeply
effective body centered approaches being used in counseling and
psychotherapy.
2. Learn to release the fight or flight response from the nervous system.
In
stress, shock and trauma our mind obsesses on the threat to our
vulnerable ego. The mind is the surface of the heart... our insecurity and
vulnerable are heart felt. The mind spins incessantly, seeking a way to
re-establish safety and wellbeing.
Obsession
can go on for days, months, years, decades, sending a myriad of
confused and contradictory mental and emotional impulses into the
nervous system as the vulnerable ego seeks resolution to perceived
threats to its competence to deal with love and life.
This myriad of confused and contradictory, mental and emotional impulses, lodges in the nervous system throughout the body asemotional armoring.
Dr
Randolph Stone, the founder of Polarity Therapy, understood how to
release the decades of impulses of fear, fright and flight held in the
sympathetic nervous system. Dr. Stone gave us techniques to reset the nervous system to a peaceful
parasympathetic state of deep relaxation and well-being.
In
our Energy As Medicine workshops, our Ultrasonic Core Energy Balancing
Session gives you powerful hands on tools to safely and immediately
release emotional armoring, stress, shock and trauma from the nervous
system and activate a parasympathetic state of wellbeing.
3. Higher Intelligence guides us to the key to your healing…
The
third part of our synthesis works with shamanistic Rogerian insights of
modern hypnotherapy synthesized in David Quigley’s Alchemical
hypnotherapy.
Our
protocol, provides a container to safely, and immediately, facilitate a
conscious and nourishing relationship with a vulnerable part of your
being. We call this process of soul retrieval “Rescuing The Inner Child”.
4. The capstone of our approach is Transpersonal Psychology
The ancient wisdom of India reveals that your pain is not biographical, nor psychological, butexistential.A profound alienation from Life, from Nature, an ignorance of your own inherent Divinity.
Our
workshops offer an immersion in Unitive Consciousness through
profoundly effective vibrational energy balancing bodywork, and resonant
mantra yoga techniques to tune you back into Life, to entrain your body
on a molecular level with your Divine Self.
Microclairvoyant image of an atom as a well/field to an inner/higher dimension of Being
Every
cell of your body has the vibrational potential to be a well to Being,
to your natural state of feeling filled with wonder (wonderful) and
filled with your inherent divinity (feeling Great-full) your natural state.
Empowering You To Take Responsibility For Your Emotional Well-Being
The
gift of my life’s healing journey, is to share safe, simple, easy
to learn techniques, to clear unconscious forces that run our lives.
You
are welcome to join us in our annual pilgrimage to India. This
pilgrimage across the face of the earth, is metaphor for your intention

I
had an interesting experience this morning while stretching. I became
conscious of my ego playing an old tape. I finally recognized this
unconscious process as the edge of a trauma vortex… I opened to
being fully present for my bodily experience, directing my awareness
away from my mind and into the sensations that were available in my body
with a willingness to be fully present, and the knowledge that I was
now safe.
A moment of ecstasy, as deeply held bodily sensations were felt, and
dimensions of pain that I had hidden from over a lifetime surfaced, in a
flash of recognition and clearing…
My whole life has been driven by the pain of my experience of Mrs Blocks
first grade class in Washington school. I had transferred to public
school from a parochial school and not been taught to read. Each school
day added to my humiliation, shame and trauma as I was called upon to
stand and read and failed test after test, graded and degraded by the
“educational” system.
I have spent virtually my whole life in school, not dropping of the
system out until I was a PhD. candidate and university instructor and
then founding Heartwood Institute… a utopian educational
environment where it was truly safe to heal, learn and grow.
***
I spent time a few days ago with a sage, who was one of the founders of
the home birth movement in the 1960s. A movement to take birthing back
from men and their medical industry into the feminine sanctuary of the
home. I was struck to hear that her mother had been raped, and had hated
her, her whole life, from the moment of conception. I realized that her
life was also driven by this deep cellular intelligence that was
unconsciously recapitulating her childhood trauma…seeking to heal
it’s own trauma through participating in innumerable home births.
I believe that you and I and the Trumps of the world, captains of
industry, and men and women of power and the powerless masses as
well… everyone... is driven by the profound pain of
unconscious forces, that are run by insatiable insecurities of our
vulnerable egos, unconsciously struggling to heal our childhood trauma.
The gift of my life’s healing journey, is to share safe, simple,
easy to learn techniques, to clear unconscious forces that run our
lives. You are welcome to join us in our annual pilgrimage to
India. This pilgrimage across the face of the earth, is metaphor for
your intention for an inner journey to your own innate healing Divinity.
Bruce's Blog: Contemplating the Divinity and Unity of All Life
Nature Is My Bible
We
were blessed to have Henry Tyler an Arapaho elder in our lives for many
years. Henry once said that “Nature is our Bible.”
I
always found nature to be a profound sanctuary, place of solace and
healer. In the most troubled and desperate decades of my life, I was
guided to walk in nature on a daily basis. Nature never failed me, I
always found comfort and solace within her.
I
have come to understand that I am a cell in the body of Mother Gaia.
Her life is my life. Her breath is my breath. When I leave the metal and
wooden boxes of car and home… and walk upon the earth, my every
breath of inspiration resonates with the infinite heavens and expiration
as a living crystal within Mother Earth’s fields.
Ovum
and sperm, microscopic music, joining in the chorus of life, to be
woven into the symphony of Nature. Our bodies are a fabric of resonance,
fields within fields, woven out of lunar and solar cycles…woven
by the music of the spheres, sustained by the keynotes of Life. Spiritus
the breath of life, in each cycle entraining the fields of the body
with Life’s ultrasonic music.
It
is difficult for us to comprehend the purity of the Elements, Air,
Fire, Water and Earth. Challenging to understand the reality of the
depth of their divine intelligence, in their ability to resonate with
the infinite cosmos.
Each
of us is the personification of an instant of the Infinite. Your first
breath imprints your unique resonance. If the earth faced the
constellation Taurus at that moment of your birth, you have a Taurus
rising astrologically,and you are practical and, reliable. If the moon
was aligned with the zodiac’s Cancer, vulnerability rules your
life. The sage Rumi reminds us. "You are not just a drop in the ocean
but the mighty ocean in the drop..."
Nature is my cathedral… my sanctuary… my home... my body.

Don’t Freak Out…
Its Just The Dominant Paradigm Crumbling…
Yes
its scary… But, get your shit together… to welcome a
world with single-payer health care, guaranteed minimal income, and
brilliant technocrats facilitating a ecologically sustainable future.
The
key to these changes lies in the most important transformation of the
20th century, the empowerment of women. The feminine is characterized by
discriminating wisdom. Femininity resonates with the second half of the
universal breath. Embodied in the fall signs of the zodiac the love and
balance of Libra, science and service of Virgo, the sincerity and
integrity of Sagittarius.
The
champion we have been waiting for, to save the world…is
femininity. Its time for men, women and gender benders with feminine
sensibilities to get it together! Freaking out and despondency over the
state of the world isn’t helping. Clean up your act and empower
your vision for your life, for our future. The world needs the
discriminating wisdom which characterizes femininity!

HOW TO KNOW THE GODDESS
Navaratri
the ancient celebration of the goddess begins tonight at sunset. Each
night for nine nights we honor a different quality of the divine
feminine. The final night honors, Goddess Saraswati, which means
“essence of self”.
Saraswati
is SELF ORGANIZING INTELLIGENCE , the definitive quality of life, of
nature. To know Goddess Saraswati is to simply reflect upon the ubiquity
of this INTELLIGENCE.
The
biblical religions offer a deist paradigm, where god lies outside of
creation... in the Sanatana Dharma the wisdom of India. Goddess becomes
the world...Creation is the Self Sacrifice of the Goddess. All Life is sacred, all Life is divine.
The
Bible offers us an image of a crusty patriarch, perched on a cloud, who
is either totally powerless or deeply perverse... if He is responsible
for all this....
India
offers us an image of a divine mother who has given her powers totally
to her beloved child creation... the world is a reflection of our own
greed and perversity.
Once we realize divinity is our quintessence, we are empowered to take personal responsibility for transforming the world.
On
Navaratri we dress up our daughters as goddesses, and bow at their
feet, with offerings of flowers and sweets, to remind our selves of the
faith and hope we all have in our children and in the future of Life.
Blessings....Bruce

Goddess Saraswati (essence of Self) playing the music of creation
We are the product of Ultimate Intelligence
We embody the dynamics of creation
Our body is a musical instrument, that is played by the breath of life.
The cycle of respiration, carrying the body, through the elemental
phases of natural & cosmic attunement. As we breathe the pitch of
the tissue, is modulated by the breath. Breath cycles the energy fields
of the body, on a molecular level, through three phases of cosmic
attunement. In the first phase, the fields of the body are animated
through an inner attunement to Being, the Soul of creation. This
entrainment with the animating intelligence of the Soul is called Sattva
(Being) guna (vortex). As the breath expands the tissue, the field
leaps in quantum fashion into an attunement with the Solar force, Rajas
Guna of inspiration and then the pitch of Tamas guna, where life
crystallizes into earthly forms.
Our bodies are musical instruments played by the breath of life. The
cycles of respiration stretche the tissue of the body changing its
pitch. From macrocosm of the organism to microcosm of the molecules
every field of the body, is played by the cycle of respiration. The East
Indian paradigm is built on three keynotes of natural and cosmic
attunement. Sattva means Being, and is an entrainment with the Source.
Sattva is the force of equilibrium in Nature.
Micro-clairvoint image of Sattva Guna
Sattva the neutral phase, is associated with the parasympathetic nervous
system, rest, rebuilding and deep relaxation. Rajas, inspiration,
stretches the body cavities and tissue, molecular fields, modulating the
pitch to an entrainment with the Sun, the creative energy of Fire,
passion, purpose and power. Rajas means to glow with the excitement of
life's joy flowing through us. Rajas is expressed through the
sympathetic nervous system. In expiration the diaphragm descends into a
lunar attunement, with the Earth facilitating the crystallization of
consciousness into form as tamas guna. Tamas guna rules the bodily
process that sustain embodied life, boundaries and form.
We live in a tune-a-verse… the word universe means turning as
one. In Sanskrit the term for the creator is Brahma, which means an ever
expanding, ever evolving breath of creation. The Shakti, the power in
nature of Brahma, is termed Saraswati, which means “essence of
self”. Saraswati is the creative intelligence within the breath,
that sustains life and consciousness in each rhythm of respiration. You
are the vina, Saraswati is playing. Please check out my book: Esoteric
Anatomy: The Body As Consciousness, if you would like to deepen your
understanding of this root paradigm of eastern cosmology.
The body is a musical instrument that is played by the breath of life.
As we release tension and armoring in the body, we come into attunement
with the more subtle forces of nature and the cosmos in a natural
process of Soul Communion.
Our approach to Energy Healing involves peeling off the layers of
stress, tension and armoring through energizing body work, vitalizing
the body through energy exercises, and chanting to commune with the
sacred Breath of Life.
Each step in our Energy As Medicine training, deepens the quieting of
the mind and healing of the heart. We heal as we attune to the
Great-Fullness of Life and our own inner Well-Of-Being. There is an
immediate and profound healing as one, comes home to ones Self... to
Life. As we balance energy in the body, we commune with the light of the
Soul in a healing process that is direct and immediate. www.weare1.us

Is it possible that the universe is a living, breathing, conscious being?
The wisdom of ancient India reveals that the universe is a living,
breathing, conscious being. The ubiquity of the golden ratio spiral in
nature is the mathematical expression of the life breath of a living
universe. The golden ratio is found everywhere in nature from the
spiraling of our DNA to the turning of galaxies. Our planet is almost
80% water. The underlying organization of the ocean's waves is the
golden spiral, these waves are driven by the spiraling solar winds...the
breath of the cosmos. The average distance of the planets from the sun
in our solar system is an expression of the same mathematical formula.
In the illustration below you see the same proportional harmonics of the
universal life breath in a chamber nautilus and the average distance of
the planets from the sun. Illustrating that both are expressions of the
same underlying dynamic. In astronomy this is called Bodes law.
This is the divider
The Greek word atmosphere, points to the spheres of breath of a living
Gaia. Our bodies are formed and sustained by the ultrasonic harmonics of
this life breath.
The sage Rumi, reveals: "You are not just a drop in the ocean but the mighty ocean in the drop..."
What is this mighty ocean?..... Life and Consciousness!
Life and consciousness are inextricably united. To be alive is to be conscious. To be conscious is to be alive.
All the powers, forces, qualities and potential of the universal ocean
of life are in you as you... All the powers, forces, qualities and
potential of the universal ocean of Consciousness are in you as you...
In healing we call this fundamental power of Life "Therapeutic
Presence". Life is self organizing, an intelligence in every
molecule maintaining its homeostasis. In the macrocosm of you, this same
universal intelligence is experienced as lucidity, cognizance,
presence. This presence is your Divine Self! This intelligence is
universal!
In hands-on healing our presence is our most powerful resource. We evoke
the power of this quintessence through stillness and entrain it with
our own focus.

It's Very Challenging To Go Through Life
Clueless Of Your Divine Self...
Intelligence is the ability to learn, to
integrate our experience, into our expression. Indeed this describes the
cybernetic nature of the dynamic of an atom, molecule or cell which in
each moment is self correcting based on input from its environment. In
the same way our physiological processes are self-correcting as well,
constantly seeking homeostasis. This recursiveness is the essence of intelligence.
In
the ancient wisdom of India, the stuff of creation is Intelligence. In
the ancient wisdom all creation is a living, breathing, universal
process of intelligence. Every atom, free and capable of
self-correction…every molecule and cell defined by this universal
dynamic.
This intelligence is the essence of life. All life forms
dance with their environment in a feedback loop of experience and
expression. In the ancient wisdom of India, this Intelligence is deified
as Vishnu, which means to pervade. Vishnu’s Shakti or expression in
Nature is called Saraswati, which means “essence of Self”. Saraswati’s
vehicle is hansa the swan symbolizing the breath. Saraswati is pictured
playing a vina, which symbolizes our bodies played by Life’s
intelligence carried on the breath.
Only one thing in all
creation is real in this paradigm, unchanging, uncaused…and that is,
this all pervasive intelligence. Everything else is both constantly
changing and the effect of this root cause of intelligence.
This
intelligence is your Self. It manifests in your life as awareness,
presence, cognizance. Your body can be immersed in eating a cookie or
making love, but your mind is elsewhere…not present. It is this presence
that defines our experience. The eyes, ears, touch, smell, taste only
function when the Self is focused on the experience.
This Self is
the exact same intelligence that defines a cell’s process or our
physiology. This Self is the Universal presence of a mysterious,
unfathomable, all-pervasive intelligence which permeates all life
processes. In my understanding God is Life. All of creation is an
expression of this Great Mystery. All Life is sacred.
The quality
of your Self…The Divinity in you is lucidity. Every aspect of our
lifestyle either supports your becoming more present, more lucid, more
Divine…or is toxic…robbing you of your Divinity.
It is terrifying to go through life clueless of our Divine Self.
Every
aspect of our work supports your immediate recognition of your Self and
cultivation of this divine union. In healing we call this power
“therapeutic presence”...the healing power of the Soul. Therapeutic
presence is at the heart of the liberating techniques which define our
approach to cleansing the body of stress, shock, trauma and emotional
armoring. All our work promotes your attunement and union with your
Self, to foster clarity, resilience, peace and well-Being.

The End of Suffering: Where there is light... darkness vanishes...
Shame, guilt, isolation, fear, paranoia, and obsession are some of the symptoms of our suffering. You are not alone in the feelings that you are somehow not good enough: not smart enough, not rich enough, not thin enough, not attractive... not lovable. 2000 years ago, the east Indian sage Isvarakrsna in the Samkhya-karika... revealed a path to... the total, final, complete, annihilation of suffering.
For Isvarakrisna, you were not to blame for your suffering. Suffering was rooted in ignorance...not ignorance of book learning, but a more pervasive ignorance, that was imbedded in ones life. Indeed the cause of our suffering was our alienation from life and the lifestyle that produced this alienation.
I call this condition ontological terror... the feeling that something is terribly wrong... and my assumption of guilt and shame... that it is somehow my fault.
Ontology means Being. Our suffering is caused by separation from our own Being. It is terrifying to go through life alienated from your own Divine Self. Our self hatred is rooted in our feelings of vulnerability, identified as we are with the fictions of our mind and illusions of the story of our suffering. Searching for solace, we live in our obsessive mind, rather than in the reality of the Divine Present.
What is wrong... is the pain we feel because we have been wrenched out of the rhythms of life by our civilized ways. Traditional people danced with life in every heartbeat, they rose with the sun, worked hard with their bodies, breathed deep and sang as they worked. Diets were simply, local, and rooted in the season, individual life was imbedded in communal life. People lived in harmony with the Tao. Life was a communion with Nature, a communion with the OverSoul.
In ancient Samkhya philosophy, Life is one. A Universal Life, whose nature is Divine Intelligence, lives through each of us. Each of us is a unique face of this Ubiquitous Life. In Samkhya Life is God. Our pain, is the anguish of our separation from Life, separation from our our Divinity, separation from our Self.
Most of us are deeply identified with our mind, our story, the distraction of our addictions, and out of touch with a deeper, more subtle stratum of Being. This Being...is not far off. Indeed we are immersed in an ocean of Life. We need only, to breath it in. We need only quiet the mind and heart to come home to its healing resonance.
Soul Communion
Our approach to healing, is defined by our intention to address the Soul, the animating intelligence in the body. For it is through Soul Communion, that we counter ontological terror. Where there is light... the fear and insecurity of the darkness vanishes.
The body is a musical instrument that is played by the breath of life. As we release tension and armoring in the body, we come into atunement with the more subtle forces of nature and the cosmos in a natural process of Soul Communion.
Our approach to Energy Healing involves peeling off the layers of stress, tension and armoring through energizing body work, vitalizing the body through energy exercises, and chanting to commune with the sacred Breath of Life.

There is an immediate and profound healing as one, comes home to ones Self... to Life.

There is no resource on our planet as wasted as human potential.
Each of us is the expression of a unique moment in the infinite creativity of Life.
Your feelings are a gift from Life. Your dharma is to be you. Fully present in your experience.
Healing, is about feeling safe to be authentic, safe to be vulnerable, safe to be fully alive.
I
have been involved in the human potential movement for more than a half
century. As founder of Heartwood Institute and author of a book on the
unity and divinity of life…my life has been dedicated to escaping
pain, fear and insecurity, and actualizing freedom, authenticity and
peace.
Summer is the time to grow! All of Nature is supporting the blossoming and ripening of you…
The
doctrine of “The Supremacy of Intelligence”... In one of
the principal Upanishads, the Kausitaki-Brahmana, the God Indra, the
King of Heaven, is asked for a boon deemed to be the most beneficial for
mankind. Sri Indra exhorts: “Understand me only," and reveals the
doctrine of “The Supremacy of Intelligence.”
For
verily, without intelligence, speech does not make known (to the self)
any name whatsoever. "My mind was elsewhere," he says, "I did not
cognize that name". For verily,
without intelligence breath does not make known any odour whatsoever.
"My mind was elsewhere," he says. "I did not cognize that odor." For
verily, without intelligence the ear does make known any sound
whatsoever. "My mind was elsewhere,” he says, "I did not cognize
that sound." . . .
Verily,
if there were no elements of intelligence, there would be no elements
of existence. . . . For as in a chariot the felly is fixed on the spokes
and the spokes are fixed on the hub, even so these elements of
existence are fixed on the elements of intelligence and the elements of
intelligence are fixed in the breathing spirit. The same breathing
spirit is, truly, the intelligent self, bliss, ageless, immortal.
The
biblical religions offer little more than spiritual gobble-goop... They
were promulgated by imperialists to enslave nations and rape the earth.
The ancient wisdom reveals that... All life is Divine, all life is Sacred...All life is a fabric of Divine Intelligence...
We
experience our Divinity as Lucidity, Presence, Cognizance.
The
diet can be used spiritually as a quest for vision and a means to
contact a higher intelligence within, for guidance and healing.
The
word sacrifice means to make sacred. In the polarity diet we sacrifice
our ordinary eating habits to cultivate more receptivity to the innate
intelligence of nature and the cosmos for healing insight, liberating
realizations and bodily renewal.
The
body is a temple of the spirit. Our lifestyle choices have a profound
effect on the quality of our health and our personal experience of
Spirit.
One of the foundations of our health building regime is our Sattvic cleansing diet.
East Indian philosophy classifies food according to the level of
consciousness it promotes. A Sattvic diet quiets the mind, brings peace
to the heart, and heals bodily ills. A Sattvic diet promotes a healing
state of Soul Communion...
Through a Sattvic diet, a profound clarity emerges as we experience the healing presence of the Soul.

Gratefulness is a a Super-conscious State...
Gratefulness is a State of Soul Communion...
Gratefulness is your Natural State...
In Gratefullness your ego-mind is not obsessing with the past... or fantasizing the future. Gratefullness describes a quality of your space... a space of wellbeing.
Every atom of your body is a field of energy...a vibrating vortex. When
you are connected to Being. Each atom becomes a well to Being. This
state of well-Being is an experience of Soul Communion... union with
Life...union with Nature. We experience this as a great fullness. This
Great-Fullness is your natural state. This Gratefulness is who you
really are...not your thoughts, not your story. This is an experience of
the Eternal Present. Unborn, Undying, Everywhere, Always, for Ever and
Ever and Ever. This Presence is your Divinity! This is your natural
state!
When we are not connected to Presence, we are disconnected from our SELF, disconnected from
BEING. This is very threatening to the vulnerable ego. The ego obsesses
with the past...the future...struggling with the abyss of the terror of
the disconnection from Being.
Our Energy As Medicine:Transformational Therapy program, offers a
holistic approach to Self Recognition. You are lovingly lead through a
series of profoundly healing energy balancing protocols, that facilitate
Soul Communion. That facilitate a molecular transformation in the way
you vibrate and your moment to moment experience of your life. In our
Somatic Emotional Clearing program you will learn effective tools to
consciously restructure your personal unconscious, to resolve the past
and cultivate a more conscious future.
You will cultivate resources to maintain this quality of
well-being. Mantra Yoga and Energy Exercises that you can

We
are the product of Ultimate Intelligence: We are made in the image of
God. We personify the dynamics of creation. The chakras are a microcosm
of the seven steps through which consciousness precipitates into matter.
Our voice personifies “The holy word”, the “logos”, the root dynamic of
creation. Our voice is an inter-dimensional portal, our lips Shiva and
Shakti, magnetizing the Ethers of Nature with our intention and will.
Mantra means to protect the mind. Mantra Yoga isone
of the most effective tools for healing and purifying the heart/mind.
Heart break, loss and grief are effectively addressed through Mantra
Yoga. The mind is the surface of our heart, the heart the core of mind.
The vowels of the mantras promote vibratory coherence which purifies our
energy. In Mantra Yoga we create a feedback loop of consciousness, and
build standing waves of coherent resonance in our Etheric body.
For
thousands of years Mantra Yoga has been one of the primary tools used
to accelerate ones evolution and to cultivate union with nature and the
cosmos.

Breath
is the foundation of life. Breath is the vehicle of the Great Mystery
of Life and Consciousness. Breath is the vehicle of the animating
intelligence of the Soul. We live in an ocean of Life Breath. The Greek
word atmos means breath, and we have our life in the Earths Atmosphere…The earths ultrasonic rhythms of breath.
In
the ancient wisdom of India, Brahma is the breath of creation.
Everything that moves, from quark to cosmos is the spiraling breath of
Brahma. Brahma is omnipresent as a universal life of a living universe.
In every moment, Brahma is unfolding unlimited creative potential as
you. Your breath is the breath of the cosmos. Your every breath is the
cutting edge of the evolution of the universe. You are the face of God.
Your life the personification of divine potential. You are That.

The Abortion Of The Sacred From The Womb Of The Earth…
The
Alphabet Vs The Goddess, is an important book, exploring just how,
after tens of thousands of years of goddess worship... of humanity
living on a sacred earth…. suddenly, with the emergence of the biblical
religions, worship of the Earth as sacred…Life as sacred… is annihilated
in the west.
Monotheism
initiated religious intolerance. Two thousand years, of pillaging
temples and libraries, murdering priestesses and priests, inquisitions, relentless, persecution and witch burning by the church has ripped the sacred from the womb of the earth.
The
author Leonard Shalan, a medical doctor and brain surgeon, argues that
the advent of the alphabet, shifted dominance from the right hemisphere
of the brain… feminine, holistic, tolerant... to the masculine,
analytical, aggressive left hemisphere. Literacy initiated the worship
of an abstract concept of god. The literati and their minions of
zealots, over centuries of crusades and jihad annihilated the worship of
the sacred earth.
It
seems that TV and the digital revolution may again shift brain
dominance from the left brain dominance of the linear alphabet to an
ideographic right hemisphere dominance and a new humanity… At this
point, I want to learn more about this…and invite you in your comments
to help me understand if the digital revolution offers hope for a
transformation of consciousness….

Tulsi Devi:
One on the most blessed experiences of this lifetime
was my Tulsi Devi Darshan! Yes I experienced the presence of the spirit
of Holy Basil! In exactly the same way that you and I have a spirit
that animates our bodies, everything that is alive is animated by its
spirit.
Many years ago, my friend Jonathan invited me to join
him in visiting an ISKCON community at a ranch in Lake county,
California. Here the followers of the International Society for Krishna
Consciousness, lived simply and supported
each other in living a sacred life as prescribed by their dear guru
Swami Prabhupada. I remember a pond, graced by a swan as a distinctive
feature, and a very skinny pujari leading the prayers.
An element of Krishna Consciousness, is to worship, Tulsi Devi as a
part of the morning ritual. Devotees circling a Sacred Tusi plant,
chanting a prayer to her and making an offering of water.
In
India a tulsi plant grows at the front door of the home of every lover
of Krishna, where she is nurished and worshiped. Mother Tulsi is reputed
to be the purist of Krishna’s devotees, and devotees are invited to
aspire to her devotion.
I circled the sacred basil plant,
following the devotees who were chanting in Sanskrit, “vrindayai
tulasi-devyai, priyayai kesavasya ca, krsna-bhakti-prade devi,
satyavatyai namo namah”… I offer my prayers unto mother Tulasi Devi, who
is very dear to Lord Krishna. O goddess, you bestow the blessing of
devotion and the highest truth.”
Suddenly I felt, that I was in
the presence of the purist hearted being, I had ever experienced! The
sweetness and love, was beyond anything I had ever known…my heart
opened, my eyes welled up with tears…and I have never been quite the
same….
Yes Virginia, there is a Tulsi Devi! The next time you
drink a cup of tulsi tea, take a moment to really smell the aroma, taste
the flavor, and give thanks and praise, for the very special essence
that is becoming a part of you…ALL LIFE IS SACRED! YOUR LIFE IS SACRED!
blessings, B

Reading Merlin Stone: When God Was A Women. A profoundly important
book! Stone, documents the relentless efforts of predatory patriarchal
societies, to ravage any concept of the sacredness of the Earth, the
sacredness of Nature, the sacredness of Life. Valuable in its time...
but with due respect, she is offering a feminine pie-in-the-sky
paradigm, to replace masculine pie-in-the-sky propaganda.
If we turn to India, a living connection to the goddess tradition, we leave the
deist paradigm, where God lies outside of creation of the west, and
worship a Goddess who has become creation. The Earth herself is Sacred,
the Self-sacrifice of the Goddess. (Sacrifice= to make sacred).
The biblical religions are the propaganda of conquers. They seek to make war, pillage, exploitation and domination sacred.
Monotheism seeks to annihilate a Goddess that is everywhere in Nature.
The biblical prohibition of worshiping idols, is an attack upon: sacred
rivers, sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred snakes and sacred
cattle. All life is sacred!
Any concept we have of God/Goddess is
arbitrary and arguable. The inherent miracle of life is not. Our mother
Earth is sacred. All life is sacred! We are a cells in the body of
Gaia, our life is sacred.
The real travesty of patriarchy, is
ripping the sacred out of the Earth, denying the inherent miracle of
life, thus enabling the predatory culture of imperialism and
capitalism. Our world is weeping, for a wisdom that recognizes the
sacredness and unity of all life that cherishes the Earth as our Mother,
that cherishes our life, our labor, our love as sacred.
Beloved, Great Mystery Of Life and Consciousness...
Thank you for hearing our prayer for a Springtime of Humanity, Where,
all Humanity makes a leap in consciousness, and realizes the unity and
divinity of all life,
Where we cherish our Mother Earth as our own dear mother,
and share with each other as brothers and sisters…
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin… For all our relations...
Aum Namah Shivaya...Honor to This Sacred Life!

DEAR ONES...
The Great Sage Mahatma Gandhi, titled his autobiography:
The Story Of My Experiments With Truth. Over the course of his life, he
wavered between…Truth is God…and God is Truth. For Gandhi Truth could
not be found in a book. Truth could only be lived. Gandhi realized in
his
'experiment with Truth", that there was an experience of the sacred in acts of
caring, kindness, generosity, and personal growth. Gandhi experienced
that there is divinity inherent in a life well lived. That each of us
can have a moment to moment experience of the sacred, through service,
health and growth. I invite you to drop your pie in the sky,
psychedelic, and personified concepts of God… AND ACCEPT THE PROFUNDITY
OF THE SACRED LIFE YOU ARE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW!

Medicinal's mentioned that millions of cups of their integrity, wisdom
and love were being poured daily... I realized that our revolution was
succeeding. Books on whole food nutrition, herbology, homeopathy and
yoga
are in all our homes. Herbology is being taught to MD's... Meditation
is being taught to our children in public schools! Thanks to Rosemary
Gladstar, Rob Menzies, Nan Koehler, Don Solomon, Kathy Keville, Mindy
Green, Jane Bothwell, Dana Ullman, Nam Singh, Christopher Hobbs, Chela
Burger, Jeanine Parvati, and everyone in this photo at Rainbows End,
Sebastopol, CA, celebrating the 40th anniversary of our hippie herbal
retreats which ignited a revolution in health care.

LIKE
A GAZILLION SUNS!! Our Mother Earth, is circling our Father Sun at over
60,000 miles per hour, oscillating through a dance of Lunar and Solar
attunement. At Equinox every atom on Earth, entrains in sympathetic
resonance with Savitri*, the life giving solar intelligence, to spring
into resonance with a new cycle of rebirth and creativity! Give thanks
and praise, to the Life Divine, vibrating in every miraculous atom of
your body for this sacred gift of Life!
*"Savitri is the Divine Word, daughter of the Sun "...this is not a
mere allegory, the characters are not personified qualities, but
incarnations or emanations of living and conscious Forces with whom we
can enter into concrete touch...and show...the way from... (this) mortal
state to a divine consciousness and immortal life."

Shivaratri The Night of Shiva
Shivaratri:The Night of Shiva, is celebrated on the darkest new moon of the year in late January or early February. ॐ (Feb 24)
Shiva rules tamas guna, the aspect of Mystery manifesting as the
experience of matter. The Sanskrit word Shiva means auspicious, and
refers to the scintillating divine qualities of our life on earth. The
brilliance of the light of seeing, tasting, touching...of consciousness
experiencing embodiment. The agony and ecstasy of each moment, as our
amazing lives unfold.ॐ
Pre-biblical spirituality was animistic
and pantheistic. It reflected a natural world of omnipresent mystery,
splendor and intelligence, where all of nature, all of life, all
creation was sacred.ॐ
Monotheism extracts God from the Earth,
and offers a pie in the sky God...With God in heaven... somewhere???
You can do as you like on earth.
ॐ ॐ ॐ
Shiva (Siva in
Sanskrit) represents the flame of Life, unborn, undying... without
beginning or end… everywhere, always, eternal, forever and ever and
ever… ॐ ॐ ॐ
Shiva's manifest form is Shakti. Shakti is
prakritti...Nature... The Self-Sacrifice of The Goddess as This Sacred
Creation. This Sacred Earth!
To cherish and to serve the Earth
is to worship Shiva/Shakti. The beauty of life that we love so much is
Shiva/Shakti. Our own life, which we cherish so selfishly, is
Shiva/Shakti. ॐ
Look no further, everything you are seeking, you already have! Aum Namah Shivaya! ॐ ॐ ॐ
Aum Namah Shivaya... Honor To Life!
Chant this mantra, with love tonight..To give thanks and praise! ॐ

The Cow personifies the sacredness of all life on earth, and the
generosity of the Universe in sustaining our lives. In South India the
Cow stands at the highest and most visible place in Devi temples, to
remind us to cherish all life as our own... Please don't laugh at our
Sacred Cows, monkeys, rats, ants, trees, rivers, mountains, etc....
Mother Earth... and please consider cultivating a vegetarian diet, to do
a little more, to live your prayers, for future generations.
Blessings,

The Legend of Arunachala Shiva:
Holy Hill of Tiruvannamalai
The Gods Vishnu and Brahma were rocking the universe, quarreling as to
who was the superior Deity. To restore equilibrium, Shiva appeared as a
flame, and challenged them to find his source. Brahma took the form of a
swan, and flew to the sky to see the top of the flame, while Vishnu
became the boar Varaha, and sought its base. Neither Brahma nor Vishnu
could find the source and were humbled and bowed to Shiva.
Arunachala (Annamalai) or red mountain in Tiruvannamalai, India, is
recognized as a lingam, and the embodiment of Shiva as Infinite Light,
described in this ancient legend.
Perhaps Shiva (Siva in Sanskrit) represents the flame of Life, without
beginning or end… everywhere, always, eternal, forever and ever and
ever… transcending Brahma and Vishnu who sustain the rhythms of
creation.
Shiva rules tamas guna, the aspect of Mystery manifesting as the
experience of matter. The Sanskrit word Shiva means auspicious, and
refers to the scintillating divine qualities of our life on earth. The
brilliance of the light of seeing, tasting, touching...of consciousness
experiencing embodiment. The agony and ecstasy of each moment, as our
amazing lives unfold.
Shiva is the light of life...the brilliance of consciousness...that
illuminates each instant of our experience. At times we are Shiva taking
the form of Vishnu as the the boar Varaha infused with His strength,
spelunking the deep dark caves of the infinite possibility of pain and
suffering that our human experience offers. Often we become the Swan of
creative possibility, of Brahma and his Shakti Saraswati soaring to the
sublime ecstatic heights of embodied experience.
We are the cutting edge of the unfolding of infinite possibility expressed in the unique dimension of Earthly experience.

Last winter, I
arrived in India angry with pie in the sky religiosity that worshiped
gods in heavens and stood by helplessly letting the Earth go to Hell. I
offered my pain to Dakshinamurthy (Shiva as Guru) and was blessed with
the realization that Shiva is the Earth!
To cherish and to serve the Earth is to worship Shiva. The beauty of
life that we love so much is Shiva. Our own life, which we cherish so
selfishly, is Shiva. Look no further, everything you are seeking, you
already have!
Aum Namah Shivaya! ॐ ॐ ॐ

The Maharishi
Effect empowers you to heal the world! You are a cell in the body of
Mother Gaia...Everything you do to foster peace and harmony in your
personal world, influences the etheric body of the world around you.
Your efforts...are powerful as they potentize the inherent harmony of
the Source...
The Maharishi Effect is the observable fact of improved quality of life
in the entire society when 1% or more of the population practices the
Transcendental Meditation technique (TM) or a group of as little as the
√1% practices this technique plus the advanced Transcendental Meditation
Sidhi program. First discovered in December 1974 when it was found that
crime rate decreased in 1% cities, there are now over 50 empirical
studies on the Maharishi Effect. http://www.truthabouttm.org/…/…/Rationale-Research/index.cfm
"It
should also be noted that another major purpose of the project, that was
lodged in advance, was to create coherence for government. During the
project, a floundering Clinton administration suddenly began to make
progress. On July 18th, journalist Sally Quinn wrote in the Washington
Post j: “Well, in case anyone hasn’t noticed, Washington is in a lull,
at least from the vantage point of the inmates…. the Clinton
administration appears to have revived….But such a swift reversal of
political fortune is not easy to account for. The inmates may logically
wonder whether Clinton really turned things around or if something else
is going on…almost mysteriously and almost overnight, in the face of
government distress…” This change was also observed from inside the
White House. Clinton’s special assistant and White House press
secretary, George Staphanopoulos, recently wrote of that period: “By the
Fall of 1993, The Clinton White House had found its footing. We held
the Middle East peace ceremony, passed NAFTA and the Brady bill, got our
economic plan through and had proposed the centerpiece of our domestic
agenda: Health-care reform” (Staphanopoulos, 1999).
Time series analysis showed that coincident with the onset of the
Demonstration Project that Clinton’s approval rating increased (p=5.29 X
10-8), media positivity increased towards the president (p=.01) and all
five available indicators of social stress decreased (emergency
psychiatric calls (p=.009), hospital trauma cases (p=.02), complaints
against the police, (p=.01), accidental deaths (p=.05), and a social
stress index of the four (p=3.22 X 10-5) (Goodman, Orme-Johnson,
Rainforth, & Goodman, 1997)." 1
