Continue to stay focused on healing, on helping, on harmony within and without. There is no greater inner work than the work of healing that is instigated within and sent far and wide. You may not even know the person you are intending healing for, but your own good healing energy can penetrate the atmosphere, far and wide, and find its mark, even one that is only a thought in your mind. The mind, when trained and focused, is a powerful tool. Use it for healing and reap in return the simple rewards of a job well done.
Stepping down from a small ladder, I misjudged the final step. Suddenly I was falling backwards. I was able to turn slightly, allowing my wrist and hand to somewhat break the fall so I did not land flat on my back. But I hit the ground hard nonetheless.
Immediately, my consciousness flew to The Mother, Aurobindo’s guide and partner. She had painstakingly made clear that pretty much anything could be healed if we could fully gather our awareness and focus it on the experience at hand, in the current moment, before it was defined.
I grabbed my wrist and hand before the expected pain arrived and incessantly told myself, “My hand and wrist are healing; my hand and wrist are healed.” The boomerang wave of expected pain did not arrive. I kept repeating my suggestion.
Soon, I couldn’t be sure which hand had broken the fall, since both hands felt identically calm and agile. The same still holds true, as if no fall had ever happened. Funny, Jan heard the fall from a distance but encountered no voice in crisis, hence moved on without feeling the need to check.
The critical factor in this definition of life experience is to assume control of defining it, before the absolutely expected outcome arrives. The Mother pointed out, that though one could still heal if the expected definition of pain and disjointedness arrived, it is so much more difficult to unseat a ruling expectation once it has set in.
We have all learned a myriad of cause and effect reactions to body mishaps in physical life. The subconscious mind readily offers its knowledge to consciousness as it prepares it to experience the consequence of its defined predicament. That is habit.
What I was able to do was seize hold of that energy and redirect its mission to total healing. The subconscious was all ears and it changed the expected outcome of my fall.
For the record, this was but a small three-step ladder. This was not a dramatic fall from an extension ladder. The rational mind has plenty of reasons to disavow anything special in this minor fall. Nor do
I claim any specialness in this instantaneous healing. However, it is a fact, a fact of my life.
The time we are in is wrought with extreme polarization. The Law of Opposites enables us to differentiate and define ourselves as specific personalities based on our beliefs. The rupture to our wholeness, which is the state of the union of those opposites, that we are currently experiencing, does have the enlightening effect of challenging the certainty we previously held of how energy must play out according to established order. Anything is possible.
In fact, we have free will. On the mental plane, we can indeed direct our intent, as we will, to manifest material results. Take advantage of the possibility of defining life in new ways as we traverse this time of breakdown. Direct it towards the greater good. Seize the moment before it seizes you.
It has been suggested that the fall of Atlantis parallels the state of our current civilization. Plato introduced the story of Atlantis, crediting its origin and transmission as having been handed down from generations of ancient Egyptian priests.
Atlantis was a spiritually and technologically advanced civilization that lost its moral compass as it exercised its psychic powers in the form of black magic. In modern terms, black magic could be defined as the use of the subconscious mind for malevolent purposes.
The karma of such abuse of its powers was the total destruction and sinking of this island continent into the Atlantic Ocean around 10,500 BC. The modern psychic, Edgar Cayce, has confirmed the validity of the downfall of Atlantis.*
Judge Hatch, as channelled by Elsa Barker in 1916, observed that many old souls from Atlantis had incarnated back into human form and would continue to do so in our modern era, particularly in America where new spiritual ideas so quickly can take root. America is thus a major player in the karma and interplay of psychic powers exercised through both black and white magic.
Black and white magic are distinguished by the quality of the intent behind the suggestions one poses to the subconscious mind. Black magic refers to suggestions issuing from self-serving, narcissistic intent. White magic refers to suggestions in alignment with the purity of truth and love, directed to the greater good of all.
The power of suggestion, as applied to the subconscious mind, is the most influential psychic power of our time. The birth of autosuggestion in the early 20th century, from its older parentage in hypnotism, empowers any person to potentially heal themselves, to manifest in physical reality any changes they have imagined and desired from the subtle dimension of their mind, and to telepathically influence the subconscious mind of others.
What is known as distance healing, whether through healing prayer or directed healing intention for another, is actually the power of the mind to telepathically present a healing suggestion to the subconscious mind of a person in need. If the subconscious mind of the recipient is impressed by the suggestion, the desired healing may result. Ultimately, though we might have a healing intent for someone else, actual healing is a function of their own subconscious mind choosing to actualize the suggestion. Healers intend healing but we ultimately heal ourselves.
This is the same mechanism as in the placebo effect. If someone believes the suggestion that they will be healed by the ingestion of a pill, the subconscious mind may indeed generate the expected healing through its power to influence physical reality.
Our thoughts and beliefs are incessantly sending suggestions to both our own subconscious mind and that of others. What the world is presently experiencing is a plethora of negative, self-serving suggestions, the stuff of black magic. These have galvanized mass movements of genocide, displacement of peoples, appropriation of people’s property, and a worldview of hatred and self-interest toward all others.
The outcome for the advanced but self-serving civilization of Atlantis warns of similar consequences for our modern world. Fortunately, the advance of autosuggestion empowers every individual to utilize the power of white magic for the health and healing of our planet, and the human race as well.
For white magic to be effective, our intentions must be rooted in love. Love knows only one race, the human race. Love spares no one. Love loves all, even those who hate, pillage and kill. No one is excluded from love’s purview. When I think of those I’m most tempted to hate, my conscious mind states, “May they discover love for the greater good of all.” This is my intention for all burdened with the passion of hate.
Let not my emphasis upon love suggest that any soul should escape the justice, or karma, that must necessarily be meted out upon all for the choices they have made. How helpful could it possibly be for one to be spared the learning opportunity of feeling the effects or outcomes of the causes they have generated? But let the decision to not help someone come from love of the truth, as well as the intent to allow them their full opportunity to discover what they need to learn, without interference.
If we indulge hatred, we invite black magic, through the power of thought, to influence those who surround us in our interconnected family of One. Responsible use of our thoughts and feelings positively impacts the suggestions we impress upon the subconscious mind of our human race.
Foundational to the use of black and white magic is the power of the subconscious mind to change the world based upon the intention of the conscious mind. It is my intention that all humans will acquiesce to the truth of the heart in making their suggestions to the subconscious mind.
Never be discouraged. We simply have no control over how the subconscious chooses to realize our dreams. If we get angry or push too hard, we may find ourselves unwittingly tempted into the mood of black magic. Of course, this then gives us the opportunity to feel compassion for those who similarly struggle.
Exercise your psychic power of suggestion by keeping love, truth and the greater good of all in mind. Express your gratitude for this power and intend the patience needed to stay the course.
That’s white magic, Chuck
*Whether the story of Atlantis is a myth or a fact does not alter the similarity to what is happening in our world now.
The energy of now mirrors lessons in power. In an interview with Tim Ferriss, Elizabeth Gilbert, of Eat, Pray, Love fame, reveals that she has been celibate and closed to intimate relationship for the past five years. She had come to the realization that her pattern of always blaming partners had overshadowed her entire life. She decided to seek the source of blame within herself alone.
When we discover our projections as unknown or disowned parts of ourselves, we are empowered to know and influence positively the holographic reality we all share equally in.
The power in blame is the comfort of self-righteousness exercised in the creation of a faulty, other than, self. In the truth of the hologram, self contains all others. There simply is no cause for blame; the buck stops here, within the self.
Actually, life in three-dimensional reality predisposes us to need to differentiate in order to establish an identity. If we were to remain in a herd identity, we would not develop a consciousness of self that allows for independent action. However, this separation creates a cloudy reality. When we shine a light upon an object, a shadow is created that allows us to see and define the object. As P. P. Quimby points out, this shadow also leads to error, or opinion, as the fuller interconnected truth is separated and lost in the shadow.
It is natural for us to listen to someone’s presentation and find ourselves thinking of exceptions to that which they propose. This is the action of the analytic mind differentiating what it hears. Many a hurt feeling and quarrel result from this ‘misunderstanding’ in dialogue, whose true roots lie in an automatic differentiating mental process.
Of course, as valuable as the knowledge of differentiation is, it favors such a materialist worldview of separate objects that it loses connection to the intimacy of the interdependent oneness we all share in. When we open the door to our fourth-dimensionally interconnected selves, ordinarily screened out by our physical senses and internal dialogue, higher truth and knowledge is revealed, the deepest source of our innate healing power.
Quimby would sit and get en rapport with his ailing patient until, in this sympathetic oneness, it was revealed to him the true cause of their discomfort. His patient in turn opened their heart to the faith in the possibility that they could be healed; what medical science calls today the placebo effect.
Quimby never touched a patient or prescribed any medicinal remedy. He merely revealed the true cause of the complaint, as revealed to him. The obvious changes necessitated by that knowledge were for his patient to undertake, for the power to heal lies with the patient’s understanding of and alignment with the truth.
The power to heal and transform lies latently available in one’s connection to, and communication with, one’s higher fourth-dimensional self. Access to that higher self is gained through meditation and the practice of reaching the subconscious mind through the power of thoughtful intent.
In the eleventh, bonus episode, of the Telepathy Tapes, we meet Dan, an adult volunteer working with autistic non-speakers. We discover that Dan has so opened his heart, and practiced deep meditation, that he gains access to what autistic non-speakers call, The Hill, a consensual reality meeting place in the fourth-dimensional astral plane. Here, autistic people, in their energy body soul states, regularly commune. These visits by Dan are verified by participants from The Hill, as they later recount these fourth-dimensional interactions when back in their third-dimensional physical bodies.
We also learn that Dan had been diagnosed with fourth stage lymphoma that went into remission over the course of several months, his only course of treatment being his deep meditations, deep breathing, and healing intent. He credits the power of thought with his success.
Our world is clearly in the throes of a vitriolic breakdown as it transitions into a new paradigm of human potential and power. We witness daily dramatic displays of power. These are opportunities for us all, like Elizabeth Gilbert, to circumvent blame, go inward, and assume responsibility for our own use, abuse, or nonuse of power.
Like the shamans of old, it truly is time for us to create our own Tales of Power.
New Thoughts on Power, Chuck
Inspirations for this blog: very dense reading, not necessarily recommended.
In a conversation, I joked that I couldn’t remember the last time I’d seen a doctor. I knew immediately that the die had been cast. Send out a message like that and you’ve invited a stream of subliminal thought forms, with contrary suggestions, to compete with your own intent. What inside me was being so careless, or so determined?
Days later, I noticed a tickle and niggling cough throughout the day. By the end of the day a dizziness set in, an intense vibratory disorientation, coupled with a chill that had me wear a wool vest and wrap up in a blanket, despite the 80 + degree temperature of the day.
I consented to a thermometer, which revealed a heightened temperature. Suggestions of covid, flu or, at the very least, the onset of a course of a lengthy cold emerged. It was clear to me that these were all genuine possibilities.
A chain of associations began to present themselves to support and prepare for a healing process of several days. Although this would be a quite legitimate course of care, I seized upon this unusual opportunity to test my soul’s ability, via autosuggestion, to alter the natural course of my recovery. And so, I’ve decided to share how I practice what I preach!
My stated intent was to completely resolve these symptoms so that I would be present, in optimal physical health, with maximal clinical and intuitive acuity, for a full day of meetings starting at 7 am the following morning.
I instructed my subconscious: “My body is healing, my body is healed.”
I repeated it incessantly, coupling it with an eight count breathing pattern, saying the first part of the phrase with a four-count in breath and the latter part with a four-count out breath. By 7 pm I was so tired and disoriented that I collapsed into bed.
A restlessness slowly crept in and I knew there would be no rest if I remained in the bedroom. I relocated myself to the living room, which was quite warm, yet I shook with chills and knew that air conditioning was not an option. I considered an ibuprofen. I flipped a coin and got tails: No, to ibuprofen. If I was to be sincere in my commitment to a clean experiment, my only intervention could be: “My body is healing, my body is healed.”
I began to experience a throbbing headache that came and went, seemingly for hours. I did allow myself to utilize a well-anchored healing suggestion: “My headache is healing, my headache is healed.” Though effective immediately, the duration of relief was no more than a couple of minutes before its vicious return. I finally decided to recite only my eight count breathing and body healing suggestion.
I attempted to lie down but was continuously bombarded with a smorgasbord of pain sensations and dizziness. I could not find my calm center. I felt myself on the acute edge of annihilation. My only momentary glimpse of a potential grounding was noticing the autonomous playing of the synchronous rhythm that had been established by my incessant eight count breath.
For the next four hours I caved to the relief of restless shifting: laying one way on the couch, then the opposite; changing pillows, throwing pillows, no pillows; collapsing onto the floor, turning over, feet up on the coffee table, the contents of which became strewn about the room. I’d sit momentarily in different positions, in different chairs; nothing offered a moment’s peace.
A sensation of nausea flirted in the background. It invited the suggestion of immediate relief through facilitated release. I refused. “If that is to happen, let it happen on its own,” I insisted. Despair and futility dragged me into the underworld of self-pity and fraudulence. I began actually to wonder if I needed the rescue squad to bring me to the ER. Thoughts of physical death seemed a genuine possibility.
Eventually, I was so despondent that I sat and silently cried out to my High Self and teachers for help! No one came. I sank to the rock bottom depression of, “Why have you forsaken me?” I was sitting curled up in a chair when I noticed that I might have dozed off for a moment. An inkling of constancy of presence appeared. “Might I be able to sleep?” I pondered.
It was 1:30 am. I knew that in order to be able to practice in the morning I’d have to be 100% healed by 3:15 am. This seemed utterly impossible. I hadn’t slept at all, my symptoms were all still fully present, but I had had a calm moment. I closed my eyes. I awoke at 2:30, no change. I told my subconscious, which never fails at a wakeup request, to wake me at 3:15. I drifted off immediately.
I next awoke to Jan checking on me at 3:30 am. Wow, my subconscious had not responded to my 3:15 am suggestion! I let it go. The room was a mess, but I wasn’t! No temperature. No headache. No dizziness. No nausea. No vibratory shakiness. Full calm breaths. Utter clarity. Well rested.
We went for a walk, did some reading. My thinking and intuition were clear as a bell. I showered, had some breakfast and started my day at 7 am, finishing at 5 pm, without a glitch. Subsequent days were equally symptom free.
My medicine journey, initiated by the active substance of my self-important comment, showed me how far the soul could potentially go to accelerate the action of the innate healing archetypes latent in the physical body.
I arrived at the experience of total transformation, as my subconscious led me rapidly through the stages of healing at light speed to meet my stated deadline intent. Mine was but one dark night of the soul.
The physical body is its own entity, separate and distinct from its companion soul. Often, when the soul has decided it’s time to leave this life, the physical body resists, clinging to life for extended periods of time. The soul cannot fully break the cord and be free until the body acquiesces to its own physical death.
The soul body entered and attached to the physical body before birth. Both bodies agreed to a relationship for a human lifespan for reasons which benefit each individually. For the body, the conservative evolutionary archetypes that rule it are introduced to new possibilities through the soul’s suggestions. For the soul, the depth of its experience gained through a drama lived in a physical body deeply enhances its knowing of all that is.
The body has a powerful set of rules that independently govern the course of physical life. The body is prepared to live the stages of life, grow old and die. The soul, through its subconscious mind, assumes full control of the human body, though it generally acquiesces to run the body’s evolutionarily established healing programs.
However, the soul, which operates under different rules than the physical body, can think and suggest outside the instinctive box. Thus, the soul knows that beyond heredity and the rules that govern physical life, a suggestion such as I made, to heal from an infection, within hours as opposed to days, is possible.
Of course, the soul cannot change the fact that, ultimately, the physical body will die. Some shamans, called death defiers, have been able to delay death for generations, but ultimately have had to eventually surrender their physical counterparts to death.
Nonetheless, the soul can contribute greatly to the health and healing of the physical body, particularly through the use of autosuggestion. At times it can indeed achieve miracle cures. Modern medicine has yet to discover this healing potential, as it remains almost exclusively focused on the material workings of the physical body.
The most important variable to approaching the subconscious mind with healing suggestions is to have faith that anything is possible, to swiftly release any doubt and stay focused on the intent. This guarantees nothing, but without it, suggestions lack the potency of conviction needed to attract the subconscious mind’s attention.
No attachment to outcome. No shirking of the responsibility to also explore the best that mainstream medicine has to offer. Assume full responsibility for life. Explore your fullpotential. See what happens!
