Roll Call: Serge (Joseph), Mark (Philip), Anya Ouchakova, Marcos Garay, Ellen Gilbert, John Hawkins, Alan Aspinall, Ester Gonzalez, Theresa Smart, Marlene Lewis, Nardine Neilson, Bill Herman, Ella Shcherbakova, Inna Shapiro, Lisa Pratt, Andrea Cleaver, Nora C., Odette Gignac, Catherine (Tennessee), Tom Sherlock

KRIS: Now we trust that you are all comfortable.

MARK: Yes, thank you.

KRIS: And we thank you for your consideration.

MARK: Thank you.

KRIS: Wherever you are in the world, today’s technological gizmos make it possible for you to communicate with each other. Two individuals on totally different ends of the planet can nowadays exchange words, pictures, movies together and create a sense of community. In a more remote time communities were much smaller and definitely very localized. And as your awareness of the world grows, so can your sense of community straddle nations, nationalities, borders, customs and cultures allowing you to exchange information, details about your lives, your own various cultures, creating a very varied and different kind of sense of awareness and even a different sense of what the world is. Your ideas about the world are evolving in the sense that they are changing.

Some time back the general belief was that the world was flat and if you ventured too close to the imagined end of that flat world, there indeed was a genuine fear that you could fall off the edge of the world. Many mariners made certain they did not venture too close to that edge for fear of losing their ships and everything and everyone on it. Yet the experience of navigating the seas and oceans certainly was in contrast to the beliefs of the times. But the beliefs often prevailed, in a manner of speaking, limiting where people ventured.

Nowadays, though you may still find small pockets of people who cling to that belief that the world indeed is still flat, the majority of the people on your world have a very different view and sets of beliefs concerning that world, in sharp contrast, then, to say five or six hundred years ago.

Even your ideas of the world and even of time and space itself are being altered. Your sciences are also pushing the boundaries in certain ways. Now it is common for people to even discuss other planets, even other solar systems and galaxies, whereas such a thought in the past was also very limited and often frightening to speak about because it was considered the realm of the Divines and of the few who had access to the Divines.

So you have built up an incredible repertoire of knowledge that, in some ways and respects, outstrips the kind of information your bygone ancestors dealt with concerning their world and their realities. And in some respects you still deal with some of the very same principles though you might not notice it, but you are still dealing with ideas about reality, about the world, about time and space. And you take these ideas, these thoughts, as an understanding of truth, of the way things are. And you apply those very same or similar ideas to yourselves.

The beliefs and thoughts and ideas you entertain about yourselves are also quite different from your bygone ancestors of say, five, six hundred years ago, and even just a few hundred years ago. Medical science has changed the way you view your body, its functions. And these you also accept and view as the truth about your physical self. Your theologies, however, are another breed of thoughts and ideas altogether, though not different from any other idea that you may entertain or any concept thereof.

But in the areas of theology, some of the very same concepts and ideas have remained unchanged for thousands of years, often in sharp contrast and contradiction to the kind of world that you have idealized for yourselves. Still those ideas, as they have been unchanged for thousands of years, insist that in spite of everything you have an accounting to a supernatural being that seems to control everything, especially your lives. Perhaps not unlike the pieces on the chess board, the divine supernatural being in this case being the players, the chess players; the pieces being the general populace – the believers and the unbelievers alike.

And those views, again, have largely remained unchanged, though there have been throughout history various kinds of reformations that have sought to bring a sense of balance, bring a sense of expanded awareness. Those still, those reformations of various kinds, have still remained within the boundaries of reforming only certain small ideas; in some ways creating several waves of renaissances throughout history, until the last big renaissance in your historical terms.

That particular renaissance brought about massive transformations in everything in your world including an attempt to reform, as it were, even the theologies of the day. In almost every other aspect it was successful and there was some small degrees of successes even in terms of the theologies of the day, where now for instance, you do not fear coming together as a group to discuss, as you are all doing right now in this moment, without fear that the Grand Inquisitor will come and carry you to the stake to make certain you are well done. So in some respects there have been certain degrees of enlightenment in these areas, though your societies are still often steeped in fundamentalism and in literalism. And it is quite likely one of the very last frontiers – is breaking free of the shackles that still exist in your collective and sometimes even individual psyches, in your world views.

And it is groups of individuals like yourselves, that gather together, seek to understand the workings of and the mechanisms of reality from the point of view of consciousness, specifically. Not from the point of view of science or medicine or anything else for that matter. And it is groups like yourselves that assist in building a momentum whose waves help in transforming and reforming that last frontier, the frontier of theology; assisting in giving new understandings towards the standard definitions of a supernatural being, of the Divines, of the gods and goddesses, assisting in bringing a certain kind of deeply needed balance and harmony into the views concerning a god, a goddess, or any kind of divine supernatural being, assisting with the understanding that these idealized concepts are an interpretation of the recognition of that which is within you that is your highest ideal, highest concept of self as you could possibly understand it at this moment in time and space. And it is no small endeavor.

You may, on the one hand, think you are learning and exploring about the concept of reality creation, how your thoughts, feelings, emotions, state of mind, awareness, perceptions, etcetera, influence the kind of experience of reality that you enjoy or not, depending on your individual case, your individual experimentations. The truth of the matter is that all of these concepts that you are exploring are part of this reformation, this renaissance – opening your minds and awarenesses to your greater multi-dimensional nature.

Thus the idea, the concept, of one supernatural being presiding over all of you, deciding and judging who is good, who is bad – these concepts which have more to do with the duplicities that you engage as a race, are in the very midst of being transformed. And it is how it is being done, through groups of individuals like yourselves examining these old concepts, literally looking under the hood of the vehicles of consciousness, recognizing that this vehicle does not necessarily run by magic as much as it does run by an actual kind of science – the science of your thoughts, your beliefs, etcetera.

And again, this is no small endeavor, for as exciting as all of this kind of exploration is, it still in many respects often puts you at odds, not only with your peers who may believe otherwise, but it also puts you at odds with the views and the perceptions that you may yourself hold onto in some way, creating again that razor sharp contrast within you where you eventually recognize what it is that you oppose and what it is that you allow, even what you allow opposing. And this creates a dynamic force within you urging you then to press forward, to continue examining and questioning not only the nature of and veracity of what you call your physical reality but the very nature and veracity of whom and what you are. And again, no small endeavor, make no bones about this and no mistakes either.

This represents a cutting edge of this renaissance wave. You are only now experiencing the very outer edges. Say the first few random snowflakes that let you know that snow is coming. As we have described in another kind of analogy, you are in some ways hearing the footsteps ahead of someone coming down the hallway, advising you of their impending presence, heading your way.

So you are experimenting with and even challenging many views on many fronts concerning the deepest of all belief systems. You are also challenging yourselves, and the rewards can at times bring about some degree of conflict. Again, there is no need to kid yourselves, or fool yourselves, each of you at various times undergoes your own various struggles in these areas. And there is no foolproof, one hundred percent guaranty that what you learn is necessarily going to work the way you may insist it does, but there is definitely a guaranty that you are increasing in awareness as you continue to unfold your own multi-dimensional nature.

And as we suggested moments ago, still for the majority of people on your planet the theology of one supreme supernatural being is still quite prevalent. The monotheistic ideal is quite strong and yet it cannot allow a reflection of your true multi-dimensional nature. Yes, some cultures actually incorporate many gods and goddesses and that is a reflection of those deeper aspects connected with your multi-dimensional nature still cast in the traditional understandings, and that does provide a certain leeway in the collective psyche. It provides a safety valve of sorts, though those groups and cultures that embrace a strict monotheistic supernatural being may tend to only stay within the guidelines provided by their teachings.

And it does present a fascinating, an extremely fascinating, experimentation in consciousness – a consciousness of denial of one’s own multidimensional nature, making concerted efforts to whittle down the great self into a singular unit to fit the mold of one’s understandings even if those understandings are extremely fundamental and literalistic. This provides a fascinating para-psychological study in the kinds of civilizations that can be brought about under those kinds of guidelines; and the fallout, if you wish, the effects and influences brought about by such strong deeply rooted beliefs. And your western world, for the most part, is an example of the highs and lows and everything in between that results from such strong root in those belief systems and strong adherence and membership to those ideals.

And yet you have chosen to explore beyond those boundaries, beyond those safeguards established by your societies. So you are all to be commended and indeed, if we did have a hat in this moment, we would take it off in recognition of your efforts to forge ahead, to push the envelopes both individually and collectively towards a rekindling of the true aspects and the true nature of your collective being and the diverse manifestations of consciousness as it occurs actually in your present world. And that consciousness can straddle and embrace all of the diverse systems of beliefs on all levels, because it is within the nature of the individual to actually embrace, if allowed, to actually embrace such a diverse nature of being.

And when you give your thoughts a moment to digest the implications of what we have said you may recognize the depth of compassionate admiration and even consideration for the wonderful creative genius that each of you have access to within the unlimitedness of consciousness.

We have shared many things with you over these last eight weeks. You have also investigated and explored various different kinds of thoughts and modalities and ideas, all to your credit, benefits and advantages. And this alone should also tell you that you are more than the sum of all of your parts, not only your physical parts but your psychological parts; more than the sum of all of your ideas, ideals and even eccentric models that you could possibly dream up concerning who and what you are, who and what you think you are, and whom and what you truly are. And still, there is more to discover about your lovely self and its multi-dimensional nature.

We continue to encourage you to push that envelope, to deliberately expand your awareness of the wonderful and marvelous and even miraculous display of reality around you, as it so effortlessly and literally oozes from your being, that sometimes you might not even be aware that you actually generated, formed the experiences and the adventures that you undergo.

So we wished to share this with you as a further encouragement to your explorations as a group and as a member of your society. For even though you might find it, at times, even difficult to share with others what you discovered, what you explore in thoughts and consciousness, regardless you still affect those around you. You influence them whether you do so directly or indirectly. You influence them merely by your presence. The energy of your being exerts a certain kind of influence.

The organizations involved with what you call Transcendental Meditation, founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, have done many experimentations, the results of which indeed counter the so-called facts of reality as it were; the results of which should in some way, set off fireworks in the brains, in the thoughts, in the minds, in the awareness of all people, giving them the keys then to understanding how your realities may indeed be influenced in a direction that is desirable for many.

There are numerous studies that have demonstrated that as little as one hundred people coming together in large cultural centers or cities, meditating for so many minutes a day can impart a powerful influence on the environment, in almost exactly the same way that the moon in general and the full moon in particular exerts strong gravitational influence upon the tides. So can, then, the thoughts that you cultivate, your own individualized theology can exert an influence, however gentle and benign, can exert a powerful influence upon those around you and in your life.

And this is not that we are advocating that you need to become saints, but instead the simple joy of recognizing your true and powerful multi-dimensional nature and acting, even if only at the psychological level, acting in that way. The most profound of which is actually acting as if and in accordance with the idea, the concept, that everything is meaningful and everything matters because you create it. That alone sets off waves of influences in all directions, psychologically even enticing other people to question the nature of their reality in some way, and assisting them in finding answers to those questions they are asking, even if only to themselves.

We are not in any way, shape or form, pretending that we have and we are offering all of the answers to life, because in many respects there are no answers except in the perceptions that you hold. They are the answers and as such, then, you become the living embodiment, the avatars, the incarnations then, of those answers to life.

Thus if you begin then to take what has been discussed for these last eight sessions, some of these ideas, some of these projects, your own discoveries in that area, and begin to invite others to share with you. Perhaps creating small groups in your location, even if only a few individuals. Then you increase the momentum, enabling others to begin finding their answers, in the areas that assist such inquiring individuals, inquiring minds, to explore reality beyond the boundaries and the edicts with which they have already grown up, and may even have already realized are no longer sufficient. Thus we encourage you to find different ways of inviting individuals into your own discussions. And if you do need a point of entry to stimulate interest, feel free to use what is now popular with “The Secret” and gently build up upon that. Assist those inquiring minds in finding answers within their own perceptions, offering not absolutes but offering them instead alternatives that lead them to find their own answers within just as you have.

Wherever you are in the world you may find some individuals, however you find them, and let your creativity and share that creativity amongst yourselves, whatever ideas. Perhaps some of you may put up little posters, ads, business cards, small flyers, however you wish to do it. Perhaps in a local library, perhaps in a metaphysical journal, perhaps in metaphysical bookstores, perhaps through word of mouth through friends you have. There are dozens and dozens of ways to approach this subject matter. There are many within your own group that would be excellent at coaching those who are perhaps curious to do so but may not have the savvy to put it together. And of course this is not something we are commanding anyone to do, that is not the point.

The point is that in sharing your adventure, your own growth in awareness continues. That is why this is called the Consciousness Mentoring group. The idea is to develop individuals who can then go and mentor other individuals, who may then go and mentor other individuals, setting up little pockets of developing awareness. So you are each encouraged to continue supporting yourself.

Philip and Joseph are putting together plans to provide an environment where you may even bring your discussions amongst yourselves in a very safe environment, so that you can be supported. And we will continue being available to you for additional support in any way, shape or form, including when you, any of you, form your own little groups. Just as you shared with us for these last eight sessions, so can we be available for those in the small groups that you create.

Now perhaps it is a good time to call for a break. Afterwards we would enjoy exploring some of your questions.

MARK: Okay. The lines are open.

ANYA: Mark, can you ask a question for us?

MARK: I guess, why don’t you ask it yourself?

ANYA: Okay, well here’s the question. We talked about how it gets the group and then we’ll focus on something and, you know, just say we’ll get together and do a visualization of sending energy to the planet. So, if we want to push the envelope and take it to a little bit more specific, tangible area, what about if we want to focus on specifically bringing good energy to turn around the economy and make it very prosperous? So one of the gifts that we looked into maybe, what if we start focusing on the interest rate? Or, you know just picking up any of the factors of the economy that will help the bringing it to a more prosperous space.

MARK: Right.

ANYA: So, what would, you know like because he mentioned, Kris mentioned, you know, getting together the studies and getting together for a couple of minutes and meditating and stuff like that so, I just would like, I think it will be, for whatever it’s worth, just for the sake of pushing the envelope to try doing something like that and I’d like to hear some comments in terms of, like more specifically, can we focus in a more specific thing, what would it be, how would we structure it? Really would like to get into the nitty gritty of it a little bit more.

MARK: That’s interesting. Now, what do you mean by interest rates? Do you want them to go up or down?

ANYA: Well, I’m speculating that when the Fed didn’t lower the interest rate enough, you know, the market went kind of down and the economy needs a little bit more stimulating and probably getting it a little bit lower so that there is more growth and blah, blah, blah. So, you know, just picking up one of the factors and that’s the one that came to my mind.

MARK: Yeah because by lowering interest rates, yeah you help people that have credit and debt but people that have savings, they lose. So it’s a double-edged sword. That’s interesting, um… Yeah we’ll have to try and get him to comment on that. I’m not sure I can put this into words though. I’ll try.

TOM: This is Tom. I’d like to make a comment on Green Sleeves’ (Anya’s) question. And that is, as far as interest rates, I don’t know if we necessarily need to focus on interest rates per se. Maybe I’m wrong but it almost sounds like what you’re getting at is more, not so much interest rates per se but maybe creative prosperity or abundance, something along those lines. Like maybe focusing on interest rates per se would be too narrow. That’s one idea.

MARK: Yeah, I agree. I think that’s what I was trying to say as well.

TOM: The other thing is, there was, I believe there was a group of realtors in Arizona or thereabouts who got together recently to focus on trying to improve the situation in the market on a metaphysical level. I don’t know the details on that, and I’m trying to remember who it was that mentioned it to me. But I could find out more about that if anybody’s interested, but I’m just throwing out something else similar to what Green Sleeves was suggesting.

MARLENE: Yeah I think that was Georgina.

TOM: Georgina, that’s right, that was Georgina.

MARLENE: I will bring that to her attention that you, maybe she can talk to you about it.

MARK: For those people that were a part of the abundance group meeting, if you remember Kris was saying it’s not about the money. You know, it’s about concentrating on abundance of joy and happiness and then everything will automatically fall into place, that you need to provide you with that joy and happiness.

ANYA: Well we never disagreed with that. What our needs were more of getting a little bit more, a couple of layers deeper into the nitty gritty so that we, by basically by setting up a scientific experiment, saying like if we focus on the element X and we would like to see the result B. So I do appreciate Ramruva’s (Tom’s) comment on abundance and I totally, completely agree with that. So my intent just goes a little bit into the next level of specifics as to, I would like to focus on something so it’s a little bit more trackable, so that let’s say I’m focusing on X of, you know, the weather being good in Utah today, you know. And I’m getting my, I mean I may be exaggerating but maybe not, you know. I am going for the pushing the envelope. So that’s the actual, the real intent of the question. I would love to focus on abundance but how do I really track it in a way that it produces results enough for the group so that we can take it further to the next level and focus on something else and track another something tangible? So that’s where we are I think.

MARK: What about joy?

ANYA: What about what? What about joy?

MARK: Focusing on that, bringing about joy.

ANYA: Well, it’s a big chunk. You know, how do you measure the joy? I mean we can measure it in ourselves, which we just did. Like Ella, myself and Nardine, we tracked our changes after we engaged in the abundance group which was, in many senses, a big you know chunk, abundance of whatever things rather than specific goals. The tracking that we got for ourselves, like Ella improved 110 percent, the feeling of joy, abundance, you know all these positive vibes. Nardine got 110, I got 90 percent improvement. I mean, this is tracking and this is inspiring for us to continue. So how do I track it now if we can take the experiment and put it into a larger scale into the community, how do I track things, what do I focus so that I can track it up to thirty days?

MARK: Alright, I get the idea.

ANYA: Good, thank you.

TOM: Now one thing I was thinking of besides trying to track specific statistics maybe we might also want to consider anecdotes. You know, people’s stories and experiences and track it that way.

ANYA: Cool, cool, cool. I think that’s along the lines. There is more…

MARLENE: I think maybe, I’m thinking maybe along the lines of starting the little groups. It sounds more like Kris would like us to start some groups and see the joy that would come from being able to share some of the Kris material and, you know, that type of thing. And I can remember way back when we first started and talked about this, he did set up a guideline in the session with me on how to start our groups and, you know, asking the who, what, where, when, why questions. And putting that in a flyer so maybe we could go back to that and start our little groups and see the joy that comes from that.

MARK: That’s a good point. That’s something I want to add to the website that we’re developing, in our new discussion forum that we’re discussing.

ANYA: Mark, a quick unrelated question: The links that we got for downloading the sessions – did it expire? Do you know?

MARK: Shouldn’t of, I don’t think.

ANYA: ‘Cause I tried to download something yesterday and I couldn’t, so I’m just checking into that.

MARK: I…

SERGE: So you’re asking about those things Anya?

ANYA: Yeah, if possible.

SERGE: What I saw from the email you sent back to me – the two first links, just copy the whole line, even past the blue. Put it in your browser and it’ll work. It’s only that the first two, somehow or other half the link got disconnected – that’s all. The rest work, according to what you sent to me.

MARLENE: Okay, I couldn’t get the first two to work either.

SERGE: Yeah, because you’re clicking on it and half of the first two became de-linked. So all you have to do is copy the whole line, paste it in your browser and it’ll work. I did that last night and it works.

MARLENE: Okay thank you.

ANYA: You need to go a little bit over, okay, so I got you. Thank you.

SERGE: Yeah just include the whole line. It’ll work. So we’re ready to get back in? Oh, I have to wait. Mark is temporarily unavailable. [Chuckles]

ANYA: Well you can put us in trance meanwhile.

SERGE: What?

ANYA: You can put us in trance meanwhile, you know, I’m just kidding – use your hypnotherapy.

SERGE: Actually just looking at the snow is enough because its big, big fluffy flakes, and they’re just like coming down, coming down. It’s actually beautiful. I mean it’s going to be a mess out there.

ANYA: Send it here! Send it here, please.

SERGE: Be careful what you wish for! [Laughter]

ANYA: There’ll be an abundance of snow!

SERGE: So, how many people got their cards?

TOM: Oh, I got a card, thank you very much.

FEMALE: I got the card, thank you very much.

MARLENE: I got it – thank you.

LISA: I got a card too, thanks.

SERGE: Sometimes with the postal system you never know. Mark’s there?

MARK: I’m back.

SERGE: Okay, so we can go for round two?

MARK: Should I mute or should I leave everybody open?

SERGE: Ah, leave it open I guess.

KRIS: Now then, we trust that you had an enjoyable discussion during your break, and we believe that you have formulated a question.

MARK: Yes. There’s a small group of us, or a number of us, would like to inquire as to how we can get together in small groups and meditate upon something that we can track, say a thirty-day period and actually show results. We talked about abundance and we talked about joy and some other things. So we’d like some ideas from you about an experiment to do.

KRIS: Then, such is indeed possible. Now we believe the original question concerned some kind of meditation to alter the interest rate in financial quarters. And indeed such an endeavor might prove futile in the long run, for the simple reason that you might not be able to take in all of the variables. For as much as some people may believe that the economy is driven by the interest rates, in truth the economy is driven by the mood of the nation. The interest rates simply reflect what is perceived to be the general rule of the population. Does that make sense to you?

MARK: Yes.

KRIS: Even those, what you call, those BIG deals on the stock market floor – the selling and buying of stocks and the buying and selling of stocks and then the selling and the buying of more stocks. All of these, interestingly enough, are based upon the brokers’ gut feeling. So for all of the ideas that are expounded that everything is done in a very scientific manner, according to this formulae, this formulae and this financial formulae, actually all depend on the gut feel, as ironic as it is. That is the bottom line. And concentrating on altering the interest rates has to take into consideration other groups who may simultaneously be concentrating on the opposite. Does that make sense to you?

MARK Yes it does.

KRIS: Consider this, that during World War Two the Germans were praying to the divine to wipe out their enemies. The British were praying to the divine to wipe out their enemies. The Americans were praying to the divine to wipe out their enemies, and so on and so forth. Now if you were a Divine, would you not want a very big martini?

[Laughter]

ELLEN: With an olive in it!

KRIS: A very big one. There are sectors of society that depend on the interest rates going down, and others that depend on the interest rates going up, and at times, simultaneously so. However to concentrate on having yourself be in a position to take advantage of any opportunity that the universe will present to you, to establish a certain kind of financial or other kind of abundance, is much more to your benefit. And if you study any of those that are involved in those big money markets, you may yourself discover that their financial abundance is not dependent upon whether the interest rates or the markets go up and down. They prosper regardless. They have developed systems of opportunities if the rates go up. They have also developed systems of opportunities if the rates go down. So they simply go with the flow as it were. Does that make sense to you?

MARK: Yes.

ELLEN: May I say something Kris?

KRIS: Indeed.

ELLEN: Sort of in summation: If you don’t recognize what abundance feels like within yourself you’re not even going to recognize abundance outside of yourself, correct?

KRIS: In many respects yes. The usual interpretation of abundance is strictly in financial terms and it is often meant to be recognized, only if there are so many zeroes after a digit. Does that make sense?

ELLEN: Yeah.

KRIS: So this does open an entirely different, and again this is not a put down in any way, shape or form, on anyone who concentrates on strictly on financial abundance. But if it is done because there is a perceived lack, then the uphill trek is more difficult, because the universe might actually wish to supply you with everything you may indeed lack in other areas of your life. But you may not recognize it, you may even deny it, and only focus on what you insist must be your conscious decision. Does that also make sense to you?

ELLEN: Definitely.

KRIS: So the point being then, that actually fulfilling as many areas of your life as possible may indeed bring about physical manifestations that reflect the abundance that you are enjoying psychologically, emotionally, innerly. That does not mean that you cannot focus on specific areas, but doing so with an increased awareness that accelerate the manifestations that you desire to see. Does that also make sense?

ELLEN: Yes, indeed.

KRIS: So developing an anchored happiness, a deep sense of joy with life, a deep knowing that [with emphasis] YOU ARE THE MEANING OF LIFE AND THE MEANING OF THE UNIVERSE and asking then, that inner self, that inner universe, your inner being to assist you in furthering the manifestations of your inner health or wealth or wisdom, may indeed put you in a position to recognize how easily you can then spread that around as it were. There are those who are abundantly fulfilled in wisdom or joy or happiness and this is reflected in many ways in their daily encounters with other individuals and society at large. Determine what your first priority is.

And there are even teachings out there that say that, “Well your first teaching should be to have tons and tons of money so that you can then have all of the other things available to you”, but is that necessarily the truth, or is it even true? It may be true by what you manifest, and it may also be that certain other individuals feel that they are failing, then, because they cannot spiritually manifest large bank accounts to accomplish everything else, but they may have so many other qualities but as a result become suppressed and denied because they have hidden their own truth, their own meaning of life from themselves. Does that also make sense?

ELLEN: Absolutely.

KRIS: So the bottom line may be for you to do from your heart what you recognize as YOUR truth. Do what makes you happy and bring into that inner circle of happiness, all other aspects of your life that you may realize may not be as fulfilling yet, but under the aura of your own happiness, of your own fulfillment, all of these other areas of life may fall in line, align with, become congruent with your inner truth.

ELLEN: I’m going to make a little note here, next time I have a conversation with my good friend Brian Ferrell that this is the positive aspect of narcissism.

KRIS: Indeed. And if you do so with joyous laughter, then everyone should be narcistically happy. [Laughter] And that is, in many respects, the whole point. When you are happy, the whole world reflects that happiness. Does it not? When you are unhappy, morose, despondent, it seems to you that either the whole world is in a similar state or it mocks you, therefore increasing your own depth of melancholy.

ELLEN: Boy, isn’t that the truth.

KRIS: And, if you do keep in mind, under all instances and circumstances that you are not your feelings nor your thoughts about yourselves, that you are more than the sum of all of these all put together, then surely you have then a key to inner perceptions that go beyond the immediate moment of your experience.

Are there any other questions or inquiries?

MARLENE: Kris, I have one.

KRIS: Indeed.

MARLENE: I was wondering when you said that we were to embrace others that had different beliefs and so on and so forth, what does that mean? What does that word ‘embrace’ mean? Is that a feeling? Is that accepting? What does that actually mean?

KRIS: It is indeed a deep state of acceptance of all of the different, even CONTRASTING, beliefs that you or any one single individual may hold. There are extremely few people on your planet that do not hold contrasting, even conflicting sets of beliefs. And recognizing this instead of fighting, waging inner wars with yourselves by recognizing it, embracing, accepting, you may indeed create the necessary steps to have congruency and alignment with your own overall thoughts and beliefs and ideas about yourself, recognizing that you are not any of these thoughts and ideas, these simply are, they are in your field of awareness and you may utilize any of those that you so desire to create a constructive and desirable outcome. So it is a mind-set. You could call it a mood. It is, in so many words, also an altered state. It is a potential state of being and it can be used. Does that answer your lovely inquiry?

MARLENE: Yes, thank you.

KRIS: You are indeed most welcome. Are there other inquiries? [Pause] Therefore, as we offered on Thursday evening on the radio show, this is a season of giving and sharing, therefore share amongst yourselves and with yourself the offering of the gift and even the miracle of awareness. And we thank you deeply for your loving considerations at this or any other time. And we return Joseph to you.

GROUP: Thank you Kris.

Consciousness Mentoring Institute Seventh Session – The Eye of Perception

KRIS: Now we trust that you are all comfortable.

MARK: Yes, thank you.

KRIS: And we thank you for your consideration.

MARK: Thank you.

KRIS: Over the last several weeks we have discussed with you all various subject matters and of course we will continue to do that as long as you allow us, though certainly that could open a very large can of metaphysical worms. But nonetheless it is still and will always be a deep pleasure to engage in discussions with all of you.

We would like to title today’s presentation ‘The Eye of Perception’. And we will most likely keep it simple, though you know from experience that we are likely telling a fib.

Now you have your lovely physical eyes, and though all of your physical eyes have the same kinds of properties in physical terms, and they all allow each and every one of you to perceive the so-called objective world, the objective reality, and you can stop to see how pretty the flowers are on your journey of life. And you can, in many ways, use the wonderful properties of your eyes to gauge how your unique journey is unfolding as well as combining your eyesight with other physical senses. The eyes represent something very unique. Your physical eyes interpret the energetic properties of reality according to the definitions that you assign to those energetic properties.

Now, your physical eyes may have their own limitations, as such, and in fact in the animal world, in the world of other creatures on your planet, your human eyes are not specifically the best viewing devices. Cats and many other animals can see much better than you can. Certain other animals and creatures, bees for instance, see a different spectrum of light properties making it so that the objects that they see would appear very different to you, might even be unrecognizable to you in some ways. Other creatures still, see different things and those things will indeed be particularly suited to the spectrum of light and other properties that the mechanisms, the biological mechanisms of the eye are suited to interpret.

Your own eye and its structure, or eyes and their structure, interpret specific bandwidths and wavelengths of the spectrum of light and energy configurations best suited to your species, allowing you to make the most of their properties and allowing you to navigate according to your own biological construction. And in that respect they are actually wonderfully suited to that purpose. And in that respect as well, they are also – as we have often called them – beautiful liars in the sense that they can only give you that very same limited bandwidth of perception and nothing else. And in and of itself that is not a problem at all. Their properties and their mechanisms are perfectly suited to function with your lovely ego construction, allowing you to navigate the construction of energy patterns in such a way that suits your species perfectly.

And yet, there are other mechanisms of perception that can be utilized to truly broaden and widen and deepen the manner in which you relate to your reality. And it takes a small amount of practice, as it were, to bring about the focus of this other mechanism – the eye of perception, and more rightly so, the inner eye of perception. And this perceptive mechanism is not based upon the biological mechanism of perception. And, in fact, we would say that the biological mechanism of perception, your biological eyes, are a physical interpretation of this inner eye of perception.

And as we suggested, it does take a small amount of practice to tune into or focus into that inner mechanism. This particular inner mechanism is of great value in the development of your unfolding awareness of self and the various treasures that you seek to discover on this particular trek of your inner journey. In fact the mechanisms involved with the inner eye of perception are, just like your physical eyes, are perfectly suited to that objectified experience of reality. So this inner eye of perception is perfectly suited to discover the inner treasures of your spiritual journey. In fact none could be more suited as a tool, as a resource, than this inner eye of perception.

The mechanism itself has always been fully active and present in your experience. And you, at times, may catch glimpses of it when you are conscientious, when you pay attention, when you notice. It is closely associated with what some may recognize as the Observer, the Witness within, but for the most part and in the initial stages, that inner witness, inner observer is the aspect of that inner eye of perception that is most closely associated with your ego construction in such a way that you can relate to it at that layer, so that you can identify it in an initial and meaningful way.

This inner eye of perception, associated with the inner witness, is in itself a powerful gateway or threshold that can allow you to function even in preliminary stages in what you would call out-of-body or projection-of-consciousness stages, wherein you can engage various states of consciousness. Lucid dreaming and out-of-bodies in the classic sense, are directly related to this inner eye of perception, wherein you are utilizing different modes or modalities available to you within consciousness itself, your consciousness.

And all of these various aspects of that modality, can be joyfully invited to become part of your more conscious experience in ways that can literally open your eyes to the perceptions contained within the fields of this inner eye of perception – this inner sight, if you wish – wherein sight, or the act of seeing, is not limited to the necessity for having eyeballs, as it were. Though, it is our understanding that, for the most part, having these eyes in the physical way is most necessary, especially when you are driving or other very endearing activities at your physical level.

The development of this particular state of perception also has other powerful benefits. Now we mentioned that it is closely tied into what you normally call lucid dreaming and out-of-body projections. And it is also closely linked to something we have presented to you earlier in another session in the utilization of imagery, especially concerning the exercise we provided with the hand. Or even when you practiced this particular little exercise most of you had your eyes closed though it is not necessary to do so, but initially can be very useful to allow you to practice at concentrating that particular wavelength of your consciousness. Though at some other point in your becoming adept at utilizing this, keeping the eyes open or closed is irrelevant, but this is closely related as well to the inner eye of perception.

And it is not necessary to relegate this specifically to the realm of sleeping and dreams, since we have mentioned lucid dreaming and projections of consciousness, though it is an practical point of departure. And practicing this is indeed quite enjoyable and you need not specifically relegate it only to when you have naps or meditations but it can be utilized in any time segments that you can allow to hone your skills, to sharpen your skills in that area. And it can be most pleasant indeed, as it can make a great use of some of the properties you already contain in your consciousness in conjunction with your lovely imagination. We have spoken about this earlier as well.

And especially for those who live in a hemisphere of the world where you experience different seasons, such as presently in the northern hemisphere where they experience winter and snow. It is so much easier then to tune your minds and your imaginings to enjoying a brief reprieve on a tropical island. Enjoying the sunshine on the beach, listening to the lapping of the waves on the sandy beach and the gentle warm breeze caressing the palm leaves; hearing an odd seagull here and there while you might be sipping on a mai tai or a pina colada, or even a Corona. It lends itself somewhat more towards that practice within those conditions, but you of course are not limited only to this. There is so much more available to you to play with.

Now, we have suggested that your inner witness or inner observer is the gateway to this inner eye of perception and all it requires to begin the process is to begin to pay attention, then, even more so to your dreams, and even more so to how you engage thought processes and how you notice your own thought processes. And for those of you who even have a smallest of inkling about your dreams, what you do within them, how you create imagery, drama and scenarios, and how you see yourself acting out and engaging action within a dream, it is easier for you to recognize this inner observer.

And for those of you who are not as accustomed to working with your dreams, you can also learn to work with and detect and appreciate this inner observer, this inner witness, by developing greater attention to the way in which you engage inner dialog. And every single human being, past, present and future, engages inner dialog. And there are different kinds of inner dialog to be engaged. Some may be less constructive, which you can also change or alter, and other kinds of inner dialog can be a most endearing and uplifting constructive, the likes of which you can also magnify and bring to greater focus. The point being that you learn to notice and observe the observer, learn to witness the witness, as it were. Pay attention and discover how it functions with you. And the more you become familiar with its environment, the more you familiarize yourself with its properties, with its functions, the easier it becomes for you to learn the gentle art of dissociation. In other words, there are many, many different kinds of altered or trance states, some of which you engage many times during the course of one day, as well as during the course of the evening or night.

What we are suggesting is to put these natural, naturally occurring states into a different kind of focus. Make use of the innate properties of these natural states and utilize this inner mechanism of your consciousness much in the same way as you would use any vehicle in your physical reality to navigate from point A to point B. And still there is much more to it than that, but at the simplest level utilizing the properties of your inner witness or inner observer, over and above its simplest function to alert you to inner dialog and the manner in which you observe your dreams, to move deeper into that field of energy opens up other doorways to consciousness that can additionally and profoundly alter your views of reality. It is possible to utilize these innate capacities of the inner eye of perception to increase the forms of your discernment, for example.

Now the traditional understandings of the use of discernment usually center around such ideas as using this discernment to find out what is the truth. That is at its most surface level, because as you know truth can be a truly, forgive the pun, but truly individual thing. There are acquired truths as there are absolutes in those areas. What we are driving at however, is that developing the ability to make greater use of this inner eye of perception can allow you, for example, during the course of, say a discussion with another individual, and we will specifically center this example around discussions with an individual who say, may be troubled with an issue or a challenge and perhaps unable to clearly see the kind of path they have carved for themselves; may even feel overwhelmed or lost on their journey. And during the course of this kind of a discussion with this kind of individual, you may have developed sufficient rapport and connection with this inner eye of perception, this deeper witness, to be able to discern what that individual may actually be trying to put into words, trying to convey though they may not have the necessary lexicon or insights to see beyond their usual tendency to relate to their physical world. But you may be able then to witness their energy patterns, notice their own beliefs, and engaging this deeper witness to assist in bringing about an assistance, a resolution as it were, or at least be able to point them in a direction where they can see their solution in a manner suited for them and not yourselves.

That is but one small example. We are certain there are many, many more available but we believe it is sufficient to give you a picture of how to make use of the deeper qualities and properties of this inner eye of perception. And though we did initially begin this discussion talking about the perceptive mechanisms of your ocular devices, of your eyes, we are also addressing the inner Eye, as in capital EYE, of perception. And it is in paying attention and noticing this deeper meaning behind the inner witness, the deeper witness, the deeper eye, that you can find a sense of inner freedom, a sense of deeper rapport with your reality than you may have been able to tap into up to this point.

This inner witness, the surface-most aspects of which are involved with your aspects that engage inner dialog, can be most rewarding over and above and even beyond anything we have discussed so far. Again, literally, opening the gateways to inner experiences that take you directly into the realms of the foundational mechanisms of your reality creation properties. And by getting in touch with and developing an clear communication or relationship with this inner eye of perception, allows you to gently, consciously choose to slip into the various altered states that are fully under your control, fully under your direction, and give you a sense of the world and of life even beyond what you thought was possible.

Now if you like, we will suggest a small break and return with additional information and your questions, and perhaps a nice exercise.

ELLEN: Phone lines are open. …have the authority.

MALE: Okay well I think …

ANYA: John?

JOHN: Yeah.

ANYA: If we are going to put a summary to that, I don’t know if we are doing that online or not but I would like to understand a little better the difference between the inner eye and the third eye, so that it’s a little bit more clear in my head. And I’m sure Mark already has an answer for me.

MARK: I suspect they might be the same.

JOHN: The inner eye, yeah. Maybe… what’s coming to me is maybe the third eye is a quasi-physical reflection of this inner eye that Kris is talking about. So the third eye is, I mean, it’s almost physical. In fact, some people say the pineal gland is really the physical seat of the third eye.

SERGE: Anyways, Kris is around so shall we continue?

JOHN: Oh great. Okay muting.

MARK: Muting.

KRIS: Indeed we trust that you had a very pleasant little break. Now, this inner eye of perception is not related to anything physical in any way shape or form, but is a psychological construct that bridges many of the states of consciousness that you effectively make use of during the course of your days and nights and lives. And it has nothing to do with what you metaphysically refer to as your third eye. You are simply lucky that you do not have to apply mascara to that third eye.

This aspect of your Personality – and we would spell Personality with a capital P in this instance – and this aspect is greatly underused and we would dare say misunderstood, since for the most part your present psychologies and humanistic sciences understand it as merely a function of your ego. But it is so much more, that the usual understandings concerning this inner witness or observer only explore a fraction of its properties and propensities. So, available to you, is so much more, and learning to tune into that particular aspect of your personality can be greatly advantageous, over and above deepening your understanding of the kinds of inner dialog you engage in on a daily basis.

And that is one of the reasons why we have focused upon this particular subject matter for so long, and truly encourage anyone and everyone to learn to pay attention, to notice their thoughts, their thought processes, and especially their inner dialog. And what we are addressing today moves that subject matter to the next level; moves the entire concept into another realm, into its deeper and less understood properties. Perhaps an analogy would be likened to having a car. Perhaps the car is something you think is needed to occupy some space in the driveway, without realizing that you may do much more with the car than to take up some space in the driveway. That you can utilize it to travel, you can utilize it to go to the grocery store, to visit others, to travel even to distant places, and so much more.

So what we are suggesting is to continue paying attention to and noticing this inner witness, inner observer, the focal point of which it is available to you to notice, or for your noticing, through one of its most basic properties – that of the inner dialog that you engage during any time you turn your mind towards itself. There is so much more available to the inner witness than simply paying attention to the thoughts and engaging questions about it, for example.

But utilizing it as a gateway as we suggested, this can and will broaden the height, depth, width, and even the meaning of those other kinds of activities your consciousness engages in even while you are not paying attention, the rewards of which can be most fulfilling. Consider again, a poor analogy, but say you have a hand and you only utilize it for one thing, whatever that thing may be, only to discover that the itch on your back can be alleviated if you use that same hand to scratch it; discovering a new use for your hand – to scratch that which itches you. And you are entirely allowed to laugh, since it is a rather crude analogy – not terribly refined, but we believe it gets the point across.

Accessing this inner deeper witness, as we suggested earlier, gives you the possibilities to become conscious and even to direct various states of consciousness, various trance states or altered states in a very directed manner. And each state in itself, more or less comes with its own perceptive mechanisms, not unlike the ones you utilize normally but with additional insights, additional treasures and teachings and wisdom. This can come in handy when you are dealing with other individuals as well as with yourself, pushing the envelope further, as it were, into the utilization of the properties of your consciousness.

Would Philip be so kind as to un-mute.

MARK: The lines are open.

KRIS: Now would there be any initial questions on this topic matter?

ANYA: I have a question.

KRIS: Indeed.

ANYA: I just wrote down – this last topic resonates with me very deeply, like you were saying each state has a different – I’m paraphrasing – dynamics or whatever to it. And so it goes back to observing the consciousness; so every time something what we may perceive as negative appears, what I notice is if I go there with a state of curiosity rather than automatic judgment there is a new… there are some really hidden treasures there. And I’m just wondering if you have any suggestions of how to maybe approach it differently. I like the idea of each state has a different dynamics to it.

KRIS: Indeed. The dynamics involved might all be understood but by experimentation. For example, and this you can all choose to join in this small exercise. It is meant to generate an altered state. Therefore if you are to avail yourself in any way, shape or form, of the mechanisms and dynamics of the deeper witness, you might like to come along for the ride. And we suggest that this is merely a preliminary, but sufficient to give you a powerful inkling into this kind of experience.

So we are merely suggesting that for the time being, you each sit comfortably, as best you can. And on the count of three allow your eyes to close. Allow your eyelids to close on the count of three. And as your eyes close on the count of three also allow yourself to become even more relaxed, allowing the sound of our voice, and the gentle rhythmic breathing of your lungs to deepen your experience. One. Allow your eyelids to feel slightly heavy, leaning towards closing. Two. Notice how your breathing itself becomes more relaxed now, tensions leaving the body. And three. Simply allowing your eyelids to shut. Allowing a deepening of a state of relaxation wherein which you can pay attention to the process of relaxation within your body, as if you are exactly that, observing, noticing, witnessing the feelings of relaxation spread throughout your body, deepening even more as we continue to speak.

And imagine or pretend that you are at the base of a great mountain – wherever that mountain may be is up to you. And as you observe the relaxation deepen and deepen, and deepen even more in your body, you become more and more aware of being, or pretending to be, in that environment at the base of this great mountain. If you like, even a chain of mountains. You choose whatever you want in your imagery. And you start climbing. Perhaps there is a very nice path that leads up the mountain and you start on that path. Perhaps in some other of your imagery someone may have a mountain with a lift on the side or an escalator or some other vehicle to allow climbing up the mountain. Others may wish to do so the old fashioned way. However you picture or pretend yourself doing this, pay attention. And as you continue to relax and hold the imagery of the mountain and how you are climbing up the mountain, you get to a certain elevation. Stop. Pause for a moment and look about the mountain and even in the other direction away from the mountain. Perhaps there are beautiful valleys or even a valley. You might even see perhaps lakes in the distance, the forests, perhaps there is a town, village or city.

And notice how that feels in your body in your perception at this moment where you are. And now continue on your trek up the mountain, rising up and up to a higher elevation. Perhaps it is even a few thousand feet higher. And stop or pause again. And again, look about the whole scenario. Perhaps the valley below you, or the forest, perhaps you see more now. Perhaps you see things you could not see before, in the distance. Perhaps even more lakes, forests, other mountains or hills, other villages, towns, other natural phenomenon that you did not see before or even did not see that way before. Notice how that incorporates itself into the dynamics of your feelings and perceptions, of your witness and pay attention to the energies of this witness, your deeper witness. And as such, even though you are there on the mountainside, a portion of your witness is still aware and observing your body as it relaxes, rejuvenates itself, refreshes itself in energy, as you engage this wonderful inner experience.

And now allow yourself to continue rising, now to the top of the mountain, the very top of it, and look about you. You can see three hundred and sixty degrees, all around you, things you could not see before that may have been there but not within your field of vision, in this case inner vision. You see as far as the eye can see, as the witness continues to expand within you. And in many ways it is both figurative and literal as far as the eye can see. And notice how and how far the eye can see, your physical eyes but also your inner eye, the eye of perception, the inner witness, the deeper witness.

And now there is another stage to this experience. At that particular layer of the deeper witness, you do not need to be bound by any laws of physics, or any physical laws in that way. You can even allow yourself to mentally suggest that you can start rising above the mountain now, as if you are able to float simply by the thought of it. Rising higher. Looking now, down at the entire scenario, even the mountain top itself, your perceptions still rising, your perspectives changing, broadening, rising higher and higher, perhaps even miles higher. Seeing things that you could not perceive before, perhaps the entire country. And keep rising, leaving behind any notions of physical time and space. Rising higher and deeper into your greater awareness, becoming aware of that psychological energy that stretches far and wide, sensing this energy and even all sorts of other things. Perhaps even sensing other celestial bodies, the moon for example, or other planets. Your awareness spreading, deepening, widening, sensing the energy of the solar system itself. The energy of thousand and millions and billions and even trillions of individuals in all time space coordinates, past, present, future, creating the images of the solar system, even the galaxy. Your consciousness widening, deepening, expanding, even beyond, perhaps even sensing nearby and distant galaxies. Reaching even further now, allowing yourself to easily glide into other states of perceiving consciousness in ways perhaps never sensed before. Sensing the vast, even the vastness of All-That-Is. Reaching beyond any of the appearances of form as you know them into a kind of energetic form that cannot be perceived by any physical beings but you can sense that energy. Energetically you might even be able to reach out for it in a way, sensing it, knowing it, even delighting in it. Knowing that this portion of All-That-Is is your own greater field of energy beyond anything physical. That it is another type or form of yourself, away from any egoic perceptions in that narrower field of energy you usually focus your consciousness in. And now gently allow yourself to become once again aware of the physical forms, of the galaxies, and various solar systems within the galaxy, of the solar system you are accustomed to calling your home, and of that tiny blue planet you call your world, and the continent and the country you call your own, of the city or town that is your own, of the building that you occupy, of the body that is your own.

Notice from your perspective right now, and from the deeper mind of your own deeper witness, that body of yours, gently breathing in a deeply entranced relaxed state. Perhaps even pretending that you are a tiny point of light energy and from that perspective witness that body. Witness the energy of it. Perhaps you might even be able to detect the energy centers that generate the kinds of configurations of energy that maintain the image of the body. And from that tiny point of light energy consciousness, notice in your body where there might be areas of blockages within your body, and the flow of energy within it. Perhaps there is an area of that form, perhaps even related to the energy centers, where there are blockages, holding of energy patterns long over due for a release. Perhaps there are energetic areas of your body in need of gentle, loving, nurturing attention, of forgiveness, of love. And from the perspective of that tiny point of light energy consciousness, pretend you are able to send a beam of energy directly from the great depth of your being into the form of your body, affecting any release, any change, any forgiveness and any love needed and necessary. And notice how that feels to observe your body from that tiny point of light perspective, knowing that from that tiny point of light perception, you can communicate intent, intention, desire, to the energy that compose the cells and cellular structure of that physical body of yours. And infuse it with additional vitality, exuberance, strength and energy, love, compassion, healing.

Perhaps there are old belief patterns that you realize can be released, the energies better used elsewhere for other purposes. And in the deepest part of your energy being you are still able to witness all this, that is the deeper inner witness. And when you are now satisfied, you may begin to pay more attention to the body and how gently the breathing pattern is still holding, how relaxed the whole bodily structure is. All tensions and stresses having long gone from the body, how this energy cleansing has soothed and nurtured it.

And in a moment we will count from five to one. At one you will be fully awake, eyes open, refreshed in every way. And perhaps you may now begin to take a deep breath with your body to give it a little boost of energy. Five. Four. Allow all sensations, all consciousness to now be returned fully into the body. Three. Perhaps moving fingers and toes, reacquainting yourself with that body. Two. Ready to open your eyes now, fully awake. And one. Opening your eyes, fully focused, fully clear in mind, refreshed in every way, remembering your experience, able to return to it whenever you allow, knowing that you can move your consciousness, not being locked into the body but being part of that body, but still being separate from it.

Now, are you all on un-mute?

MARK: Yes.

KRIS: Indeed, we trust that you are all returned from your lovely little journey.

THERESA: Yes.

JOHN: Wow! Wow, Kris that was a wonderful trip!

KRIS: Indeed, and no airport tax! [Laughter] Does anyone have any questions at this point? Indeed then, now this particular exercise took you very deep and when you reacquaint yourself with the exercise you need not go to such depth, though you are entirely free to do so and you will have the recording to that effect. And you can also utilize this exercise for shorter journeys and excursions. Perhaps simply playing with the idea of moving your consciousness, developing flexibility, enjoying slipping in and out of various altered states, and very specifically to pay attention and notice the feeling tones involved, the manner in which your perception itself enjoys slight alterations. Perhaps in the very same way that your perceptions and what you perceived was different at each stage you stopped on the mountain, and as you continued afterwards to rise and go into different layers. Does that make sense to your lovely selves, your lovely spacey selves?

GROUP: Yes.

KRIS: Now we understand if you feel somewhat spaced. It is a natural byproduct of such a deep introspection. But with more practice, it becomes easier. You can attain greater levels of flexibility. These are not unlike lucid dreaming states or out-of-body projections. And they will lead to those. It simply requires that you utilize this ancient muscle, if you like, one that may not have been flexed for many lifetimes as it were. Does that make sense to you?

GROUP: Um hum.

KRIS: Any inquiries?

JOHN: Yes. Kris would you suggest that we go on an excursion like that, let’s say on a daily basis? Would that be sufficient?

KRIS: Not to the depth we have taken you, on a daily basis. That kind of excursion, perhaps once in a while, but every day or every other day, as befits your schedules. We don’t expect any of you to give up your other daily activities. But small practices, paying attention, BEING AWARE, can greatly improve your ability to flex this ancient muscle. And it is indeed a muscle, but one of consciousness. In many ways it will be as if you are learning to ride a bicycle for the first time. These exercises are meant as the training wheels. But after a very short time you will be able to dispense with the training wheels and move on to a bigger, better bicycle. Does that make sense to you?

JOHN: Absolutely, absolutely. In fact, at deeper levels, we already know how to ride this bicycle and we’re just really reminding ourselves of that.

KRIS: That is correct. Your consciousness, whether you pay attention to it or not, is always engaged in these kinds of excursions. Your use of only the basic-most properties of your ego construction make it so that you believe that you can only engage that which your senses perceive. Does that make sense to you?

JOHN: Absolutely.

KRIS: Because once you become aware in a conscious manner of the great flexibility of consciousness you already possess, it is innate, it is the properties of consciousness, then it becomes easier to utilize what is already your heritage. Are there any other questions or inquiries?

MARK: Kris, I have a question or a comment. Lately I’ve been paying attention while in the waking state and receiving imagery of things that I’m having difficulty translating. I realize that the images themselves are translations of energy and obviously these are foreign to me because the images aren’t necessarily things that I can say this to, or are known to me.

KRIS: Indeed. Perhaps you might understand it this way. Say you are on the highway, on a nice journey, and you decide to turn on the radio in your car. Traveling from city to city, town to town, countryside to countryside. Of course there are dozens if not hundreds of radio station transmitters. The receiver in your car radio will pick up those frequencies that are within its possibility to pick up. Now you have an additional choice – you can turn the dial on the receiver and as you turn that dial you may pick up even the tiniest snippet of a transmission, but it may not be that your receiver can capture it fully but only little bits of it. So you would experience garbled sound. Does that make sense to you?

MARK: Yes, it does.

KRIS: And then suddenly, you would suddenly capture a signal that is strong enough for you to tune that receiver very finely and right on the dial suddenly that station comes in very clearly. Until eventually you move out of the range of its transmission and start the process again to pick up another signal. Does that make sense to you?

MARK: Yes it does.

KRIS: So your consciousness, in many ways, is receiving different kinds of communications and perhaps, and this goes for all of you, we understand the tendency to want to translate and understand everything immediately. But there may be times when you simply need to let the process settle in for it to become clear for you to then receive. Does that make sense?

MARK: Yes.

KRIS: Consider the brewing of a fine champagne, the fermenting of a fine champagne. You need the ingredients and the sugars and the yeast. And everything else that goes in it, whatever fruits you put in. But all that needs a specific amount of time for it to be fermented properly and then for you to strain the fermentation so that you get the desired product. You may not find it palatable to start tasting it only hours after you have added the sugars and the yeasts. But over a period of time you will then be able to taste the results of your efforts and enjoy the bubbling of a fine champagne on your tongue. Do you follow?

MARK: Yes I do. In fact I find the process rather exciting – the fact that I’m paying attention enough or starting to fine tune the stations in order to get these images and starting to capture them.

KRIS: Indeed it is as if your consciousness is throwing you a carrot. “Come this way. Focus your energies here” “How about here, and how about here, today?” Become accustomed to the flexibility that is developing in those areas. And this goes for all of you. Play with the idea. Have fun. Enjoy these altered states. They are all various attunements to altered states. Basically you are accustomed to only a few kinds of altered states and these may have become so repetitious that you no longer notice them as altered states. This does not diminish their qualities but it certainly may impede your effectiveness in utilizing them. Does that make sense to all of you?

GROUP: Yes.

KRIS: So we are encouraging you to have fun. To play in the greatest sandbox ever devised, your consciousness. Are there any other inquiries? Otherwise we will alter the state of our consciousness and return Joseph to you. That may be, in itself, something for you all to ponder upon – these kinds of communications. From our end, we tune our receiver to the frequencies of your realities – all of yours – as we alter multiple altered states to befit these kinds of communications for you to enjoy the benefits of the information. In a similar way you also tinker with kinds of altered states that allow you to focus in upon our energy as it is transmitted through Joseph. Does that make sense to you?

GROUP: Yes.

KRIS: So it is a lovely cooperation and co-creation. We are in part, in part, reflective of your creations but we are ourselves still and much more yet, as you are yourselves. Thus, with this, we return Joseph to your lovely selves. We thank you for your expansive consideration, and, play with consciousness.

GROUP: Thank you Kris.

KRIS: Indeed.

MARK: 11:52

Kris Chronicles
Consciousness Mentoring Institute Fifth Session – Tantra
Channeled by Serge J. Grandbois and Transcribed by Theresa Smart
Recorded in Toronto, Canada on November 4, 2007

Roll Call: Serge (Joseph), Mark (Philip), Anya Ouchakova, Marcos Garay, Lisa Pratt, Frank de Visser, Bill Herrman, Ellen Gilbert, John Hawkins, Alan Aspinall, Andrea Cleaver, Ester Gonzalez, Ella Shcherbakova, Peter Bayreuther, Odette Gignac, Tom Sherlock, Theresa Smart, Marlene Lewis, Inna Shapiro, Jim & Mavis Haswell, Matthew Kolling, Nicole Amodeo

KRIS: Now then we thank you once again for your early consideration and we trust that you are all very comfortable and ready for some more exploration.

Now we started discussions into aspects of self and we would like to continue in that particular direction. And this is where all of these suggestions that we offer to notice and pay attention to your energies, to your thoughts, to your feelings, to your mean tones – ‘mean’ as in ‘meaning’ and relevance – examining your own beliefs, your convictions, acquired or otherwise to also become familiar with the imaging process, the manner in which you interpret those images whether they come in the form of intuitions or dreams or otherwise, impressions, and so on and so forth. All of this leads to one particular direction and that is why all of this is important.

For the most part when you enter the physical world through your choices, through your decisions, when you decide in exchanges with the individuals who become your parents as well as those who assist in bringing you up; that entire journey up to now, has been such that you focus your attention on the world of the senses, the objects of the senses or sense-objects; what you can also call the interactions with your own material, physical energies that create the physical manifestations, those particular aspects of your energies that confirm that which you concentrate upon. Those beliefs and convictions, acquired or otherwise, that you maintain, you subscribe to and you hold during your lifetime. And it is a vast area of your consciousness.

Your singular and collective work through your material energies is a vast domain in its own, and will always continue to be a vast domain because it is the continual projection of those material energies in conjunction with your senses to create sense-objects – the material world. And that is an excellent and wonderful creation on its own, whether you assign values such as a good creation or a not-so-good creation, the main point is that you are in the creative process. You cannot prevent yourself because that is your instinctive, innate abilities.

What become important is to also realize that that aspect of your energies, your material energies, in Sanskrit also called ‘Prakriti’, that aspect of your energies is just that one aspect of an even vaster field. And you are accustomed to tuning into those frequencies of your physical senses and sense objects, some for perhaps twenty years, thirty years, forty years, fifty years, sixty years and so on.

Along the way you discover information that leads you to explore an inner world – a domain hundreds and thousands of times vaster than anything your material energies are geared towards creating. And your lovely ego construction, often maligned and considered the bastard child of your consciousness, receives a very bad rap in this way. Because it has properties and functions that are hardly ever tapped into and initialized, if you wish, that can assist you in exploring deeper inner realities; exploring a realm or a dimension of your energies hundreds and thousands of times vaster than even your material creations in this way, your objective creations.

By engaging, bringing together, those particular innate built-in abilities and functions of the ego construction, you can thus begin to explore, in a much more comfortable manner, those inner realms. And these all have to do with aspect perceptions. And these also directly tie into those innate qualities and properties of your ego construction.

The ego construction need not be fought against, nor suppressed, nor denied in an attempt to widen your knowledge and wisdom of those innate inner dimensions of yours. But instead be brought online, fired up, brought online to assist you in expanding your abilities to navigate those inner realms. And all of these inner realms, again, are tied into aspect perceptions.

By aspects, we do quite clearly mean, all of those traits and characteristics that compose your entire being, a small portion only which eventually make it to interact with those material energies of yours – with sense objects, sense perceptions.

And as you solicit the ego construction’s own properties to assist you in exploring and bringing to light those inner domains and dimensions and realities pertaining to the greater dispersed field of your overall energies, you actually trigger actions in consciousness that, for the most part, are usually considered taboo or questionable or sometimes outright denied, simply because you have not been accustomed to it.

Now you have been trying to lay a certain foundation in the exploration of intuitions, impressions and other areas of the so-called unknown or metaphysical. But we can assure you that the processes can be enriched in so many wonderful ways; that your lives can and will become transformed. Not transformed in a drastic fashion but in a manner that allows you to grow in wisdom, allows you to grow in knowledge. And that is where the balance and the harmony come in.

And quite specifically, a few years back we gave information on the Nine Sisters of Consciousness. And these would be most helpful for each of you to revisit and begin to understand from the perspective that these are all various aspects of your personality. And everyone has them. There is not a single human being, an individual who does not have those particular aspects as we defined them.

And this gives you a foundation because it allows you to identify how each of those so-called Sisters of Consciousness is identified and transformed through your particular set of perceptions to give you a unique expression of Essence within the manifestation of your life.

Thus we encourage you, each of you, to revisit that information. Philip or Sohars can easily direct you to that material and its contents. And the simple idea of re-examining that material from the perspective that these are all aspects of your Essence transformed into the characteristics and the traits that you display, some in small quantities, others in larger quantities. Some of you may display some of those aspects and others amongst you may display other aspects, all in various combinations, all in various ways, according to the recipe you have put together for your own self, for your own expression within a three dimensional reality.

And as you continue to explore this particular material you will begin to notice that some of those traits that are less prevalent within your personality structure may indeed be focused upon and brought forward so as to take advantage of the inherent qualities and to bring about a more rounded out experience. And that is what we are specifically gearing to with all of this information as we suggested several minutes ago when we began discussing – that all of this leads to the recognition and the exploration of aspects within your own personality structure.

That is why we have placed so much emphasis on noticing, listening, paying attention, exploring the subtle nuances that compose the wonderful symphony of your personality structure and just as an individual would listen to a symphony and begin paying attention to the strings, and then at another time perhaps to the wind instruments, another time perhaps to the percussion, and so on and so forth. Because your personality structure is, in its own way, much like an orchestra playing a wonderful symphony. Some of what catches your attention then might be the string area, the wind area, the percussion area, or other areas.

By expanding the knowledge and awareness of your own personality structure in this way you get automatically a larger sense of the fullness, of the depth, of the wholeness and the integrity and the integral manifestation of what it is to connect with Essence on a much broader and wider range than you might ever have thought possible.

And we have but ever so briefly sometime ago given a small amount of information on what we call, then, the Tantra of Essence. That can also be revisited because Tantra specifically means and engages a process of bringing together, of weaving together, of uniting. And that is what this remembrance of Essence, the purpose of engaging this shift in your reality, is all about – the remembering, the bringing together, the union with, the weaving of the various aspects of perceptions of Essence.

Now, if Philip would be so kind as to un-mute perhaps we can explore some questions.

MARK: Okay.

KRIS: Thus if any of you have questions, please feel free to ask.

ANYA: I have a comment. Can you hear me?

KRIS: Indeed.

ANYA: I thought it was not an accident that there is a group of us, not even a group of us, that the subject of Tantra started coming up in different conversations, quote-unquote continuously. So I’m wondering about that as we’ve start engaging as a group, as a CMI group, in that process. I’m wondering if that material either automatically became available to us or it was, in a good way, downloaded into our, maybe, field of consciousness closer to the surface where we can start perceiving it, because it was just continuously different conversations and different groups of us started revolving about this subject. I’m just wondering if you have any comments on that.

KRIS: Now, now on the one hand, the mentions in your group along these lines, of course is not accidental, as there are no such creatures as accidents. You did orchestrate a particular widening of your own understandings so that some of the information can then trickle into the upper layers of your consciousness and be captured by your conscious mind and even accepted by your ego construction. And this is not only from our angle. There is full participation with each of your Source. Does that make sense so far?

ANYA: Absolutely.

KRIS: Secondly, it is important to know that in the western world, Tantra is more than often associated with intense sexual experiences and experiences with intense sexual energies. And we are not bringing this up because there is something wrong with that, on the contrary, by all means. Anything that can assist you to explore the inner dimensions of your own creaturehood also leads to a connection with Source, but it is not the only aspect of Tantra that exists, though it is the one that is more often focused upon. Do you follow?

ANYA: Yes.

KRIS: But there is so much more. Over the ages there have been various disciplines who, more or less, claim that their views and teachings on Tantra are the only or ultimate view. That is not unlike religious duplicity. And it is not necessarily the case. Because Tantra’s specific meaning is to weave together, to bring into union, then of course two individuals can utilize it in their own ecological system, their own self-exploration. There is a wider understanding concerning Tantra and it does lead specifically to the domains of Essence.

That is why in many older cultures, it eventually became either banned or was pushed underground when orthodox systems and philosophies and religions began to get the upper hand, because with an understanding and pursuit of Tantra in relationship to your own Source or Essence, the individual no longer needs to rely upon a middle man called the priest. Do you follow?

ANYA: I do.

KRIS: Therefore it is to the orthodox system’s advantage to eliminate everything that basically would render the priests’ function obsolete. Therefore systems had to be created where the religion and therefore its adherents would have to be dependent upon the middle man, or in some case the middle woman. Thus you have in your modern expressions of orthodoxy, the priest who is representative of the church, or the official body meant to represent the intent of the so-called divine. And that kind of a system does work for those who are tied into it and who have decided to swallow it hook, line and sinker. And that is their experience within the realm of physical expression in this time.

But the efforts to suppress and eliminate the unorthodox methods of connecting with Source or Essence over the last several thousand years have not been as successful as planned, because of course, Source and Essence energy will not be denied. And unconsciously, at those subjective layers, every single individual in the world has a certain degree of awareness that there is always a direct linking with Essence, not that Essence is something separate from you but it is more than the sum of all of your parts. But that knowledge can be denied and suppressed at the individual level, up to a point and for a time, until it begins once again to seek expression. Do you follow?

ANYA: Yes.

KRIS: So we encourage you, and if you so desire we can offer specific information along those lines, much of which will still be proffered and given within these particular discussions.

ANYA: Okay my comment to that would be that I think it’d probably be fair to say that the Tantric energy is probably one of the highest potentials for individual and evolutionary transformation as well as the evolution of then society, so…

KRIS: It is an alternate method to remember Essence because you are tapping into the greater reservoir of your own psychic and psychological energies and dimensions and if you consider…

ANYA: Right.

KRIS: If you consider that in your world one of the deepest possible pleasures that you can have is orgasmic and also consider that you can increase your orgasmic pleasures ten-fold upon ten-fold, utilizing principles of Tantric processes. And that you, each of you, are expressions of Essence and that this ability for pleasure, specifically orgasmic pleasure and intensifying that pleasure, exists within you BECAUSE it is also found within the structure of Essence itself. Then it might give you an inkling what the Essence field of pleasure itself can be like. Does that make sense to you?

ANYA: Yes and I’d like to say that I think there is quite a few of us that are very interested in exploring that tool, and in whatever way you can offer us guidance and direction, I think will be very, very greatly appreciated.

KRIS: Indeed, that may always be arranged. You simply need to coordinate with Joseph and obviously the group.

ANYA: Okay.

KRIS: Are there any other inquiries?

TOM: Kris? I have a question about the Sisters of Consciousness.

KRIS: You may need to speak up.

TOM: Okay, can you hear me better now?

KRIS: Indeed.

TOM: Okay great. I had a question about the Sisters of Consciousness?

KRIS: Indeed.

TOM: Okay, um I was just wondering, I, basically they’re considered aspects of our personality. Do they have an existence separate from our personality?

KRIS: Repeat the very last part.

TOM: Do the Sisters of Consciousness have an existence separate from our personality?

KRIS: They are structures. They are psychic and psychological structures that bridge time and space and tap directly into the traits and characteristics, as it were, of your own Source. They are, say, containers that allow your personality to flourish based upon the specific configurations as expressed by each individual. You all use those same aspects – all of you, the entire human race, the entire expressions of the Orodin. How each one is configured within your personality structure, of course, is unique. There might even be similarities between those expressions of aspects from one individual to another but there will still be configurations and arrangements that are unique to each individual in the same way that one orchestra, say the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, may play a Beethoven symphony and then another orchestra in Los Angeles may also play the same piece from Beethoven. And yet there will be subtle differences that make each performance similar yet unique, because of the way each musician expresses his or her passion on the instrument they are playing, as well as the way the Maestro expresses his or her passion through the direction, as well as the way the entire production comes together, as well as the manner in which the audience taps into the greater energy exchange of the entire production and interprets it at their level. Does that make sense to you?

TOM: Yes it does.

KRIS: So you all have those aspects. How they are produced, interpreted and displayed is your creative endeavor. That is your masterpiece. We trust that answers your inquiry?

TOM: Yes it does, thank you very much.

KRIS: Indeed, and perhaps it might be a very good opportunity for a small break.

MARK: 10:54 break

ANYA: Very, very, very quiet! [Group laughter]

THERESA: I noticed that.

ANYA: Okay, I think it’s time to announce a Tantric group.

FEMALE: I’m in.

THERESA: I’m excited about that. I think that’s going to be awesome!

ELLEN: I think it’s time for it.

ANYA: Yeah, well it seems like he wants to do it parallel, not necessarily with the CMI, because he said, like, make arrangements with Joseph.

THERESA: Yes, but he also… I guess he would be weaving it through the CMI so there will be some. There’s probably just going to be some overlap.

ANYA: Right, good.

ELLEN: Over this past year, under Kris’ subtle direction, I think a lot of us are working through a lot of … [echo on phone line]

FEMALE: I don’t understand what [echo on phone line]

ANYA: Did we lose Ellen?

ELLEN: What? Are we losing audio?

THERESA: Well, Ellen your voice is just a little faint and hard to hear, but you said that, I think you said you’ve been working with Kris on the Tantra for the last while. Is that right?

ELLEN: Ah no.

THERESA: There you go.

ELLEN: I said that all of us collectively, I think we’re at different phases, different stages, but over the past year, I was pointing out that Kris has been, kind of subtly, working with us on energy issues and I think a lot of us are at different stages of working through energy blockages and this is kind of naturally, you know, raising kundalini energy for a lot of us. And so we’re kind of at that place where I think we need a little direction. Did that come through all right?

THERESA: Yes, yes I heard you much better that time, yes.

ELLEN: So, yeah, I think this is the right time for it. A lot of the work of Tantra is working through energy blockages and it deals with emotional blocks and when those are worked through it’s just natural for these energies, these Tantric or chakra energies to, you know, be felt. And it kind of opens up a whole new can of worms.

ANYA: And that was my point also that at least if we start going into that area there is so much belief systems that we automatically plug in with the mass consciousness of what is right, what is wrong. Do this and don’t do this and, you know, there’s so much. And I’m beginning to tap into it for myself, just being aware, you know. I think that potential, I mean I think that’s probably the area that’s been taboo for so, so, so, so, so long that what we’ve accumulated in that closet is absolutely, you know there is, yeah. It’s the highest potential of transformation. That’s what my impressions are.

ELLEN: Yeah.

KRIS: Indeed there is a … May we be allowed to butt in to your lovely discussion?

ANYA: Please!

KRIS: Now, since the meaning of Tantra per se is to bring together into union, to weaving together, that may put those teachings in direct conflict and opposition to many other philosophies and even the religion or religions and religious philosophies and often duplicities of your present society in that most of the modern expressions of religions do not necessarily seek to bring together but still seek to pull apart, for lack of better words.

Many of your sciences and philosophies express the idea and the concept of separateness, of separation, of apartness, without simultaneously focusing upon the bringing together, the union. Such many religious bodies teach that the divine and the mortal carnal individual are more or less irreconcilable but through the penances and the sacrifices offered by the institution in one way or another as a means of salvation. Do you follow? This is a particular model of many belief systems brought under one roof but it still emphasizes a separateness and separation from. Whilst this Tantric view, which is very ancient and had at one time emphasis in social structures, does seek to bring together, to join, including disparate views of life, including what individuals and cultures and societies may consider to be irreconcilable.

For instance, especially since this is a more common understanding of Tantra in the western world, about sexuality, it must also be emphasized that, for all intents and purposes, sexuality and spirituality are not mutually opposite but are interwoven into the expression of each other. And that is also our particular view on all things. They can be and are interwoven into a much greater tapestry of life than ever thought possible. And indeed, if you make a considerable study of our material for as far back as you can, you will notice that this has always been the emphasis. We have simply never specifically utilized the words, Tantra, per se. But this is the Tantra of Essence. Does that make sense to you?

GROUP: Yes.

MARK: I’m also reminded of the dance of Shiva, where in order to create you need to also deconstruct other belief structures.

KRIS: And that is exactly what that means, “The dance of Shiva” – destroying the universe to give birth to the universe. It has nothing to do with external manifestations except at the end of very long cycles. For all intents and purposes it is directly linked to undoing the manifestations of many different kinds of limiting belief structures, and then weaving together many different kinds of fulfilling and enhancing belief structures. Does that also make sense?

MARK: Yes.

KRIS: And as you continue to explore your own selves, and when we mean that there is more to yourself than your mental and intellectual and emotional sides, we do categorically emphasize that the physical, even though you can water it down to the physical being little more than expressions of energy itself, you still live in a universe that is interpreted through your physical senses. And we have on a few occasions suggested this to some individuals, even some of you present today.

But the exploration of self, and specifically the loving of self, is not limited to the mental, emotional, psychological, intuitive, spiritual side of you, at the expense of your physical side. It is also often recommended in many books, in many of what you call holy writings, that the individual learn to love himself or herself. Rarely is the physical included in this.

And that is where you can also open doorways to deeper understanding, by learning to love your physical self LITERALLY. Make love to yourself as you would to anyone else. We trust that none of you are shocked? But if you wish to know yourself, then you need to also weave in the physical expression of your being, would you not?

GROUP: Yes.

KRIS: Are there any other inquiries? [Pause] Or are you still all trying to digest this? [Pause] Any other comments, observations, inquiries or are you all very eager to put into practice this teaching?

GROUP: [laughter]

KRIS: We did not say what part of the teaching.

NICOLE: Kris?

KRIS: Indeed.

NICOLE: Can you hear me? This is Nicole. I have a comment that you may want to comment on. A few years back Matthew and I did a tape series by Carolyn and Charles Muir. They were, they’re based out of Hawaii and they have a cassette on freeing the female orgasm. And it was really quite helpful at the time. Is that something to go back into? I mean that… it was Tantra and I know it was helpful for myself at the time and probably would be good again. But is that even something that people in the group may take interest to?

KRIS: It may very well. You can discuss it amongst yourselves. That is an area where both men and women often fear to tread, not only in the female orgasm, the male orgasm. As such there are many areas of exploration, as men can also experience multiple orgasmic waves in the same way that women can enjoy multiple orgasms. For men it is often a frightening area, sometimes even more so than it can be frightening for women to venture there, for men particularly, because it predisposes the male to a position of a certain kind of emotional vulnerability, of letting go of boundaries.

FEMALE: Wow! That’s so right.

KRIS: However, the payoff can be a most rounded out individual, both male and female, releasing fears and boundaries in a very powerful way. And Kwaa’Ji [Ellen] was correct in some ways when she expressed that at times it can open up a different can of worms, correct Kwaa’Ji?

ELLEN: Yeah.

KRIS: Simply because it can enable you to literally break down constrictive stifling and suffocating belief structures. But not everyone may feel the necessary strength to venture there, but if you do then it can be a most powerful method indeed.

ELLEN: I can attest to that.

NICOLE: Wow that makes so much sense.

ALAN: Kris?

KRIS: Indeed.

ALAN: I believe I remember you making a comment at one time that there was a similarity or a parallel between the orgasmic response and the pain response, and if this is correct I wonder if you’d address that subject briefly.

KRIS: The particular area of the brain that is activated whether one is in pain or in the throes of powerful orgasmic waves is the same area of the brain. If, for instance, you were to videotape someone responding to torture without sound, and then videotape someone responding to waves of orgasmic pleasure without sound, and then compared the two, the physical facial and bodily expressions might be difficult to distinguish. Do you understand?

ALAN: I can certainly follow that. I think the question that comes to mind then is there a function to pain that we ordinarily don’t recognize?

KRIS: For one thing it may, on the one hand, alert you to the body’s being in danger in one way or another. It may also serve the function of alerting you to a situation you might not like to respond to or even repeat, unless of course you are on the fringes in a way and enjoy a little bit of sado-masochism.

But overall, the organism and consciousness itself usually directs its energies towards that which give pleasure. And therein lays the particular point of many philosophies and religions that teach separateness and even denial of a direct link to your inner Source. These religions are called religions of denial, philosophies of denial because they seek to deny that any other means but through some kind of agonizing suffering is the way to connect with the divine. And they will deliberately go out of their way, as they have done, to eliminate any philosophy that teaches that it is also possible to connect to the divine inner Source through pleasure. Because if you understand the difference between the two, would you continue advocating a philosophy that pain and suffering is the way to the divine after you have tasted pleasure as the way to the divine? If you eat mud and rocks and ground glass and then taste chocolate ice cream, would you give up chocolate ice cream and return to mud, rocks and glass as your preferred dish? We believe the answer is, no. Does that answer your inquiry?

ALAN: Yes, thank you Kris.

KRIS: Indeed. Perhaps one last inquiry or observation.

ELLA: Kris, Anya posted the question – this is Ella – Anya posted the question chat room, which she’s muted so she asked me to ask. Anya is asking: are there any exercises that you could recommend that would help to notice sexual energy around?

KRIS: If, for instance, any of you are eager to put some of these teachings into practice, the point is that it is not necessarily the orgasm or the destination, but getting to the destination that is the journey. Then, once you understand that practice, the point is not to get to orgasm in ten minutes or less, and especially for some men in three minutes or less – we trust the men listening can have a smile – but the point is not to get there in as fast as you can, but to enjoy the journey getting there and to prolong it. To make it so that the orgasm is the cherry on top of the icing, but the entire cake and the icing and the whipped cream before you get to the cherry, is the journey – getting there. Do you follow?

Then, becoming more and more aware and noticing of your own energies as your body becomes filled with waves and waves of it. You will then be able to detect that energy even from other individuals and much more specifically might even be able to assist without ever coming into contact with these individuals, might even be able to assist others in opening their minds to the union, the Tantra that exists within them.

There is also an actual physical exercise that both men and women can practice. Not all the time, every minute of every day, but begin with a few minutes and then expand to several times, several more minutes. This is an exercise that you can do anywhere, really. To the point where you can actually bring the exercise online when you engage in some kind of sexual activity to enhance, elevate, pronounce and even control the levels of your pleasure. It is a simple exercise. It is called a Kegel exercise. Are any of you familiar with this exercise?

GROUP: Yes.

KRIS: You may, for certain, acquire information on the internet or anywhere else. It is not secret but it is powerful. And for men, particularly, can be truly helpful in maintaining a healthy prostate because the prostate is the male G-spot.

MARK: How do you spell that?

THERESA: Kegel?

MARK: Yes.

THERESA: K-E-G-E-L.

MARK: Thank you.

ELLEN: They usually tell women to practice it after childbirth to strengthen muscles.

KRIS: Indeed. It is an exercise that is beneficial all around, especially when you combine it with any kind of specific sexual energy to pump the energy from the root chakra up through the energy centers into the brain.

ELLEN: I think it tends to create a sustained level of a pleasurable feeling for, instead of reaching the culmination, you stay at a certain sustained level. It’s very pleasurable.

KRIS: Indeed it could even be said that with practice you can be in an orgasmic state whether you are engaged in sexual activity or not.

FEMALE: Oh my God! [Group laughter]

KRIS: Imagine looking at the entire world, at life, through an orgasmic perception. It is literally the gateway to being in love. As we have suggested many times to many individuals, learn to fall in love, not in a hedonistic fashion, and even if you are already in love with a partner, be in love with love. Because it is directly related and Eros is that most powerful of creative energies; stems directly from the creative urges of All-That-Is. That is the way YOU interpret it in YOUR dimension. And there is no problems interpreting that energy in this way.

ELLEN: And you don’t have to have a partner. I haven’t had a partner in many years.

KRIS: Indeed. If you have a partner that is fine, if you do not, that is also fine. As we suggested earlier, learn to make love to yourself in exactly the same way you would want your partner to make love to you. If you have to teach your partner new ways then be adventurous. If you have to be your own partner then do so. Now, what is the time?

MARK: 11:25

KRIS: Indeed then, we believe that this discussion is well understood, perhaps more than any other in a long time, and we invite you all to enjoy yourselves.

MARK: Thank you.

KRIS: And we thank you for your LOVELY Tantric and orgasmic consideration.

GROUP: Thank you.

MATTHEW: I have an additional exercise if anybody wants to hear it.

FEMALE: Okay.

MATTHEW: What you can do, in the studies that I’ve done on Tantra is, the biggest difference is building energy as opposed to releasing energy. Most people when they have a sexual experience their goal is to have an orgasm and release the energy, which is, which is why you don’t reach those higher levels.

ELLEN: Well that’s exactly what Kris was just talking about with the Kegel exercise. He was talking about sustaining that …

MATTHEW; Yeah and so what helps that is practicing, there’s a couple of things you can do, because when the energy builds up just in the root chakra, the lower part of your body by your sexual organs, your, that energy just builds there. So what Tantra says is that if you will build that energy and then start to move it through your body. What you do, it’s like, it’s the Kegels, if you start with the energy at your root chakra and then on your inhale of your breath you suck all that energy up your back, up your spine, into the top of your head. And then on your exhale you let it flow from the top of your head, down through your face, through all of your vital organs and then collect back down at the PC muscle, or the Kegels, or the root chakra. If you continually breathe and move that energy around, what you’re doing is you’re pulling all of that energy from the sexual organs up through your whole body and that’s when people can have whole-body orgasms. And what it also does is that energy, that strong powerful energy also will release blocks that are in different chakras in your body so you can send that powerful energy through your whole body. And it actually heals your organs, it heals and it helps with creativity. You know you’re basically just moving that energy from that one spot where it normally is, throughout your entire body.

ELLEN: Absolutely, that’s um, that’s kundalini yoga. And opening the chakras, or getting that energy working through the chakras, you have to realize, and this is what I meant when I was talking about opening another can of worms, is that you open a lot of emotional, deep seated emotional issues.

MATTHEW: Absolutely.

KRIS: And if we may be so invited to butt in again. The idea of moving the energy throughout the energy centers, especially the heart center, because many hearts are indeed being slowly eaten away by – we will simply call them worms – of grief, pain, disenchantment, anger, resentment, etcetera, etcetera. And to use your proverbial can of worms, Kwaa’Ji,  that is exactly what that energy, which is from your own Source, does, is it releases the worms from their can so that your heart can heal and your life blossom. Does that make sense to you?

GROUP: Absolutely. Wow.

KRIS: Now we will take leave of your lovely selves and return Joseph to you.

GROUP: Thank you.

SERGE: How was the session?

THERESA: Awesome, awesome!

FEMALE: Incredible.

THERESA: I couldn’t hardly keep myself from jumping up and down. Really, literally. I’ve written “WOW” all over my paper so many times.

SERGE: Okay, well I’m going to sign off for now. Talk to you guys later.

GROUP: Thank you. Bye.

Kris Chronicles
Consciousness Mentoring Institute Fourth Session – Energy Hands
Channeled by Serge J. Grandbois and Transcribed by Theresa Smart
Recorded in Toronto, Canada on October 28, 2007

Roll Call: Serge (Joseph), Mark (Philip), Anya Ouchakova, Marcos Garay, Lisa Pratt, Frank de Visser, Bill Herrman, Ellen Gilbert, John Hawkins, Alan Aspinall, Andrea Cleaver, Ester Gonzalez, Nardine Neilson, Peter Bayreuther, Odette Gignac, Tom Sherlock, Theresa Smart, Marlene Lewis

MARK: Sunday October 28, 2007 10:10 am

KRIS: Indeed we trust that you are comfortable and we thank you for your early consideration, or late consideration depending on the time zone you are in.

MARK: Thank you.

KRIS: Now if you recall our suggestion of last presentation of picturing a hand, visualizing it, imagining it in your mind’s eye, seeing it being constructed, seeing the imagery being constructed, bit by bit. If possible seeing it being created, giving you a very clear mental image of your process for putting together the image.

And if you have taken the time to practice this kind of inner visualization very nicely and comfortably at your own leisure, then you will have also noticed that other things become much clearer in your mind. Other images, even the things that you physically see with your external objective sense of sight, will also begin to be affected, will also be brought into clearer focus. On the one hand, this is a small exercise that can be very beneficial for clearing up some issues some people may have with their eyes. It is not a cure-all, and you need not focus specifically upon an image of your hand. It could be anything, from a vase to flowers, to anything that you choose to focus upon in your mind’s eye. That way you also enable yourself to fine-tune or refine or enhance your abilities to use your inner sight in this way, as well as an ability to enhance your relationship with your emotions, with your emotional field. Learning to recognize and tap into that ability that you have to connect your emotions, emotional energies and visual emotional creations. And this serves many purposes, which hopefully we will address to some detail.

This talent, to picture objects in your mind’s eye, has always been and is still and will always be, crucial to your conscious creation talents. Your race and your species has been utilizing this since the dawn of time, even to create the very dawn of time as you understand it. And the more you practice this ability, the better you become at utilizing an inner field to visualize, to put together imagery, in a fashion that is most important.

Now we originally suggested a hand because it is so familiar to you, or at least you should know your hand and the back of your hand very well. And utilizing this puts you in a position to enable yourself, allowing yourself to play with energy in a very nice, suitable fashion and assist you in gaining the knowledge that you already have, but brought to conscious level in putting imagery together.

One of the purposes for doing this, apart from enabling this talent to become clearer in your mind’s eye, whether you use a hand or not at this point is irrelevant, but a good starting place. The point is that you may, by now or very soon, begin to notice that your emotions, or emotional energies if you like, are not bound in the image or by the image or in your mind’s eye, in any way, shape or form, but that over millennia you have accustomed yourself to bind or weave together your emotional energies with those images in such a fashion that any other experimentations, and any other adventures with energy can feel very strange if not outright bizarre and out of context. And we would like to strongly suggest to you that, on the contrary, your energies are not bound by the forms or images that you create regardless of those images. But that instead, the energies can be released from the boundaries of those images.

And in order to explain this to you, let us go back to the image of the hand that you played with in your mind’s eye. You are accustomed to understanding that you can only feel physical things, physical objects, with your physical hand. And any other methods of feeling are strictly at the mental, psychological level, without considering that it is possible for you to also feel physical objective items with the energy that is usually tied to your hands or any other of your body parts.

And to illustrate this you may, on your own, bring back the imagery of the hand in your mind’s eye. Create it as strongly, intensely as possible and move that hand about. Perhaps towards a wall, an object you have in your room, even your own self. And pretend or imagine, as the case may be for you, that you can stretch that hand perhaps to the wall or an object, perhaps a pet or yourself. And begin to feel the form, the texture, the shape of the object, be it a wall, a vase, a pet, yourself, say a leg or an arm. Perhaps with this energy hand you might even be able to feel and detect, not only the shape and form and density and all of the physical attributes of what you are touching with your inner hand, but also feel the color of the wall, the vase or any other object or form. And you might even be able to go a little further and, say, be able to energetically interact with the quantum particles, the energy itself that is used to compose the color, the wall or the vase, or any other so-called solid object, so that your energy hand and the apparent object can interact at that deep molecular quantum level.

And seeing as you are allowing for this type of interaction, you might go further still and bring back memories, say of your dreams. And bring this energy hand into the dream state or the memory of a dream and begin to energetically touch the forms and shapes, objects, actions within this dream memory. Or perhaps you might also like to bring up just a simple memory of events or conditions or circumstances, say from your youth, or any other time in your life; perhaps a time when you were enjoying your activities, a simple time. And slowly bring the form of the energy hand into that picture and begin to allow an interaction with the energy hand and the images in the forms and shapes in your memories, simply to acquire a feel, an impression of whatever kind. And slowly begin to bring back this energy image of the hand. Leave behind all those memories and dreams and thoughts and simply return to the present moment, letting go of all those ideas and, and being present to yourselves now.

This may allow you greater leeway than you think possible about your interactions with energy and if you note even what appears to you in your physical environment to be solid objects are composed of the same, say, molecules or consciousness as that which you played with in your mind’s eye. The only difference of course, is the manner in which your physical senses give feedback about those physical objects. And you would not want to try walking through a cement wall, even though it is composed of little more than quantum particles or units of consciousness, because your physical senses and your bodily image react differently than to the walls in your mind’s eye.

But this in turn can give you insights into [a] very powerful property of your consciousness. That it is not limited to sensory perceptions and feedback strictly at the physical level. That, in fact, you might be able to tap into a greater field of feedback from the interactions in your mind’s eye than the interactions of your physical senses with physical sense objects. And this can be most revealing and freeing at the same time. Since you can, on your own even with experimentation, determine a greater leeway in that mobility or flexibility of consciousness, unhampered by limiting sensory perceptions, there is indeed an entire different universe of feedback and experiences available to you.

And in a few moments we are offering a deeper practice that can allow you to confirm for yourself how powerful and potent some of this can be for you. And if you are so willing, then we are suggesting that you sit as comfortably as possible. Take a nice deep breath. And this practice does not necessitate that you close your eyes. In fact it is preferable if your eyes stay open. And all you need do is begin to pay attention to your breathing, keeping your eyes open, looking ahead of you, straight ahead perhaps. And as you begin to pay attention to your breathing, allowing it to deepen and relax, begin to pay closer attention to whatever images are in front of your eyes, as you listen to the sound of our voice and focus on the sound of our voice. Perhaps with your eyes open you see different objects in your room or wherever you happen to be. Perhaps there is a plant or a window, a lamp or a wall or a computer. And pretend that you can see through onto the other side of that object, as if your sight is slightly unfocusing, as if you are looking at whatever it is you are looking at, and not looking at it at the same time. Becoming aware that you are entering a deep state of relaxation whilst focused at looking through the object your eyes is observing.

Whilst you pay attention to the sound of our voice and your breathing in this way, pretend that you can also see or imagine or visualize in your mind’s eye, a great doorway, a great gateway. This great entrance opens up onto a large landscape. Perhaps there is a river, a brook or stream. And you see there a bridge. This represents the Bridge of Aaronii, a bridge of consciousness. And you start moving towards that bridge, feeling yourself move towards it. Being at the very beginning of the bridge, seeing or pretending that you are now beginning to cross that bridge. The Bridge of Aaronii, leading to other levels of consciousness. And as you begin to cross this bridge invite yourself, any aspects of yourself that want to come along on this journey. Following the sound of our voice. Moving through different states of consciousness.

And as you begin to cross the bridge, notice the form or shape of the bridge as it appears to you. Perhaps it has color, designs. Notice, perhaps it is made of wood or metal or something else. And as you begin to cross this Bridge of Aaronii also pay attention to your energies as they interact with this energy bridge of consciousness. And slowly extend your field of energies, emotions and feeling-tones to embrace the bridge, to keep creating it as you move forward, heading towards the other side. Heading towards the other side where there might be individuals, beings that await for you. Beings that may offer to take you further on this journey. Perhaps you might only detect energy or beings in any way you imagine them. Heading towards the other side of this bridge then, into other states of consciousness. Allow yourself to have these experiences as deep as you want to have them, and only you can determine and decide how deep, profound, those experiences are for you.

Know that as you head towards the other side of the Bridge of Aaronii, towards those beings, you are leaving behind notions of time and space and dimension as you know them You are entering into altered states of consciousness. And allow yourself to go with the experience while noticing, paying attention, flowing with the energy and the experience. Paying attention, observing whilst interacting and having the experience nonetheless. [pause]

And slowly, gradually begin to pay attention to the sound of our voice once again, taking whatever mental snapshot you can of your experience. Allowing full enjoyment and slowly heading back, thanking whatever beings or energies you interacted with. Heading back towards the Bridge of Aaronii, back towards the other side of the bridge. Beginning to pay attention once again to the forms and images and objects in your room or space. Taking a nice deep breath. And on a count of three you will be fully returned to your normal state of awareness with as much memory of your experiences as possible. One, two and three. Being very clear in your focusing, in yourself, feeling refreshed and fully conscious.

And perhaps this is a very good time to have a small pause or break.

MARK: Thank you. 10:45 break. 10:45 break.

SERGE: Are we going to get feedback?

MARK: [too faint to hear]

GROUP: Anya and Nardine discuss dreams.

SERGE: So how is everyone doing?

LISA: We just went on an adventure so we’re settling down.

NARDINE: I feel like a kid in fourth grade [her voice is faint].

SERGE: What’s that?

NARDINE: I feel like we’re keeping school in fourth grade and we don’t know what to do.

ANYA: I’ve noticed, I don’t know if it’s the result of our practice of in the energy group but I think I started hallucinating lately because I could almost get a feeling of seeing actually something flickering once in a while in my peripheral vision. And, it kind of disturbs me, you know. But I’m hoping it’s part of that process of working with energy but it has been flickering lately quite a bit.

[muffled voices]

ANYA: I’m also wondering if that condition – what Kris was describing about losing the gaze, kind of you know looking at the object with a different feeling. It reminds me when you’re doing, when you try the mirror exercise when you relax your gaze and you start getting images of your face in different dimensions. I’m just wondering if it’s kind of similar – it was similar for me.

ELLA: I don’t know I went [muffled words]

NARDINE: Today, this is Nardine, today when I was on the ride-on mower, mowing the yard, and driving around on the yard, and I don’t know whether anyone else does that, but if you do that and you look up at the sky and see the clouds and they move in a direction that you don’t normally see and it’s like the energy of the atmosphere presents itself. I think part of what I felt within that meditation journey with Serge, was that kind of interpretation of the energy field that we perceive. Has anyone been on a ride on the mower looking at the sky lately? [group laughter]

SERGE: No, we just have an apartment so we can’t mow lawns.

NARDINE: It’s fun to do!

ANYA: I kept looking at the sky actually last week. This week was just kind of like a heavier week for me, but last week was very fluffy and it just feels like, as Kris was saying, it’s you know unlimited potential. You look up there and it’s like, everything is up. And it’s a wonderful place to be just looking at the sky so I did have a little bit of that. I mean last week.

MARK: Okay, he’s back. 10:51

KRIS: Now then we trust that you enjoyed your little journey.

MARK: Um hum.

KRIS: We would be interested in knowing of some of your experiences briefly, if someone wants to share briefly.

MARK: Anyone?

ELLA: I just have a small concern in this case. I had a very pleasant visualization with the Bridge of Aaronii and seeing things, but somehow when I withdrew I’m still feeling dizzy, like I didn’t quite withdraw completely. Could I somehow reverse that [muffled words]

KRIS: All you need do is focus on your breath and return to breathing as you would normally.

ELLA: Thank you.

KRIS: Now do keep in mind that when you play with consciousness in this way, you also activate other areas of your awareness that you may have suppressed or denied either for a very long time or, in some cases, all your life. So it is possible that as your own energies settle you might find areas where perhaps the experience is a little strange or slightly discomforting or even disorienting. But in the very same way that you usually learn to ride a bicycle by utilizing training wheels, and perhaps a tricycle at first, moving on to a bicycle so there are small stages of growth in awareness, that pertain to these experiences as well. And as such, being gentle and caring for yourself will prove most beneficial. There is no need to feel that if you do not get the heavens and the earth to move for you in the first five moments that you somehow or other have failed in the exercise or practice. On the contrary, that kind of thinking and feeling will prove most detrimental and undesirable. So be kind and gentle to yourself and allow that you are reacquainting yourself with ancient uses of your own consciousness. And as these uses become familiar to you once again, you will become more practiced at them.

And in this light we would like to take you, if you are so willing, on part two.

For this, once again you need only sit comfortably, as comfortable as you can. Your eyes can also be open. It might be advantageous to make certain that your eyes are open but that your gaze is slightly unfocused, looking at whatever is in front of you, whether it is a computer, a plant, a picture, a wall, whatever may be before you. Looking at it as if you can see through it. Looking at it and not looking at it simultaneously, with a slight shift in the focus of your sight so that you can also pay attention to the gentle rhythmic movement of your chest as you breath in a relaxed manner.

And as you picture or visualize or pretend you see also before you another gate or doorway or opening. This one, also part of the Bridge of Aaronii, leads into fascinating adventures, connections with deeper aspects of your own self. And as you pay attention to the sound of our voice and begin to move your energies towards the gateway and through it to the Bridge of Aaronii, heading on that bridge, noticing what it is like. Perhaps it is like the previous or there are differences now. Moving forward across the bridge, heading towards the other side of the bridge.

And here there is another opening at the end of the Bridge of Aaronii. This one is an opening that leads you to explore other aspects of your own being. These aspects may be pictured by you in any different way you wish. Some of these aspects may contain great knowledge and wisdom, information you can use, or experiences that may have a gentle and beneficial effect on your being. And as you end your journey to the other end of the Bridge of Aaronii, heading towards that opening to aspects, you leave behind all notions of time and space, and head towards that opening at the other end of the bridge. Paying attention to the sound of our voice as well as to the images and the experiences that reveal themselves, that you allow yourself to have once you’ve crossed the threshold. Paying attention to those experiences that you have in that space, in that energy. And slowly allow yourself to notice, pay attention. [pause]

Notice the atmosphere in that space. The feelings, the tones, the depth, the richness. [pause]

And slowly and gradually give thanks to yourself for the allowing of the experience. Begin once again to pay attention to the sound of our voice, as you leave this place behind. And as you do so, heading back towards the Bridge of Aaronii, crossing it to the other side, heading towards your regular state of awareness and consciousness in your bodies, pay attention to whatever energies are occurring in your bodies as your bodies themselves might be wont to interpret some of the energies and feeling-tones you experienced in that other state. And on the count of three you’ll be fully conscious to your normal awareness. Take a deep breath. One, two and three.

Be fully conscious and present to yourself. Calm, relaxed, refreshed and aware of your experiences. And if you like, you may even un-mute yourselves for some brief discussion about your experience.

MARK: Anyone care to share?

NARDINE: This is Nardine. My experience is about identifying my anxiety with [muffled words]

KRIS: You may need to speak louder.

NARDINE: Sorry, can you hear me now?

MARK: Yes.

NARDINE: Very good. That experience for me was about getting out of my body anxieties into my spirit life and that visual image took me to a tree. A path, a tree, and I felt the strength from the tree and the strength from the earth and the strength from my spirit. And I am brave enough to speak up here now! [group chuckles]. It’s a big step for me.

KRIS: Indeed. We thank you for the sharing.

NARDINE: Thank you.

KRIS: Anyone else care to share?

ELLA: This is Ella. I would like to say that the most pleasant experience in both meditations, at the end of first and throughout the second, was the feeling that I allowed myself to dissolve together with that being that met me on the other side. We sort of dissolved in the clouds as units of consciousness, and on that level merged and sort of flew through all of the arches in that place where I visualized. And that mergence with other energies was certainly very, I don’t know how to describe the feeling-tone, only to say  that it was very free-flowing and light and that’s what I brought back with me, that feeling of peace and flowing. And I am very grateful for that experience. Thank you.

KRIS: Indeed.

ELLEN: This is Ellen. Mine seemed to be a journey into different, I guess it was different focuses and different ways of creatively expressing. I would touch on writers and artists and sculptures. And I was on a shamanic journey I think because I fit into some place where I believe I was [muffled words] and even a prophecy and so it was a co-creative journey [muffled words] I don’t know. It was like meandering through these different places and things that everything I touched on had to do with some kind of expression of creative energy.

KRIS: Indeed. Perhaps we will return Joseph to you for a few moments so that he may share his experiences as well, if that is allowable?

MARK: Indeed.

SERGE: Are we on break?

MARK: No, you’re going to share your experiences with us.

SERGE: Well, I don’t know everything that we…, where we went or anything like that, but I began feeling as if, I don’t know if anybody’s been in a cathedral before? With the very, very high vaulted ceilings, but it wasn’t in anything I would call a building but it felt like as if I was in a cathedral. And even my arms and legs felt as if they started to grow to fill in that space. As if it was very big, big space. That’s about all I remember. And, no, that doesn’t make me fat! [group laughter]. In fact, if I think about it, it’s almost as if it’s still partially going on, almost like behind the scenes; that parts of that experience are still lingering.

ELLA: So this is like an extension of energy, right? Like you’re, you are not, ah sort of how do I say that, you’re not only going to occupy the small space you normally occupy in your physical body. You can feel that you expand everywhere, right?

KRIS: Indeed, the physical body, as we suggested, will also seek to interpret some of those experiences. There are some experiences that are beyond the body’s ability to try to translate, but in many cases it will make a concerted attempt for the very fact that the body energies is still your consciousness and there is a tie-in, because you maintain those energies, regardless of the regions of consciousness that you allow yourself to travel into for the kinds of experiences therein to be had. And in that way it also allows the body, body awareness, to become accustomed to those greater fields of energies and possibilities. This has much potential on its own and in many ways, this is an innate, built-in process of your consciousness. And in by-gone days, when it was described by the shamans, how they would take on or feel as if they are taking on even some of the physical characteristics of their power or totem animals; this is part of that process. They would tap into the healing potentials found within consciousness expressed through nature, and the power of animals. Does that make sense to you?

GROUP: Yes.

KRIS: There are so many other things that you can play with in this area of your consciousness. You may even begin to have fun projecting parts of your energies in your environment, say, in trees or in bodies of water. Little creeks, brooks, streams or rivers, lakes, in the clouds, in the leaves of the trees, in the ground or in animals. But the point is to practice, play with this.

The purpose is, that as you become more proficient in this way, you bring down many of your barriers and resistances or opposition to the boundaries you have set up within yourself as your own official line of consciousness, peeling away limitations and restrictions; becoming once again familiar with the energies that you use to make your world, your reality. And this has many benefits to be had, one of which is to interact with what we will simply call for the sake of label, higher aspects of your own consciousness.

As you begin to play with the exchanges in this way, you may also find that many of your past fears and resistances, even resentments, even angers, can healthily be neutralized and dissolved because these small practices lead you back to those primal yearnings of your consciousness, the knowing, the factual knowing that you are not a separate item from nature, from the environment, but that you are a deep part of nature, the natural world and the phenomenon of physical reality. That is only scratching the surface of some of the benefits.

But most of all you learn to become flexible in your consciousness. You learn to play with your energies in a joyous fashion, have fun with it. And this has so many other side benefits such as opening yourself up to the communications that are inherent in the connections with other aspects of yourself, other aspects not being limited only to other expressions of Essences or focuses, but other layers that open themselves up to you growing in awareness and in consciousness. Does that make sense to you?

GROUP: Um hum.

KRIS: Thus we have a small request. [It] is that you take every opportunity that presents itself, when you have a few moments of your time available, to enter into these states as we suggested they be entered into. Preferably with your eyes open but it is not an absolute, but it does assist in a certain unique focus. And in this way, you will find yourself reaping some benefits. And those we leave for you to discover what they are.

Are there any questions at this point? Then we will leave all of your lovely selves to experience yourselves in as many ways as possible. And we thank you for your consideration and your gentleness, and may all of your experiences lead you to self.

MARK: Thank you Kris.

GROUP: Thank you.

MARK: 11:20.

Kris Chronicles
Consciousness Mentoring Institute Third Session – Inner Senses
Channeled by Serge J. Grandbois and Transcribed by Theresa Smart
Recorded in Toronto, Canada on October 21, 2007

Roll Call: Serge (Joseph), Mark (Philip), Anya Ouchakova, Marcos Garay, Lisa Pratt, Frank de Visser, Bill Herrman, Ellen Gilbert, John Hawkins, Alan Aspinall, Andrea Cleaver, Ester Gonzalez, Nardine Neilson, Peter Bayreuther, Odette Gignac, Tom Sherlock, Theresa Smart

MARK: October 21, 2007, 10:26 am.

KRIS: Now we trust that you are comfortable and once again we thank you for your early consideration.

MARK: Thank you.

KRIS: And now that all of your electronic gizmos seem to be working, let us proceed.

As we have presented at our last gathering in this way, we suggested a means to connect with the stream or the continuum of your own consciousness. [long pause while audio feedback from a web video broadcast is sorted out].

Now, then, that there is no more feedback, let us continue. As we presented at the last gathering and offered suggestions to increase your awareness of the flow of your energies we would like to continue in that same vein, encouraging you all to develop an even deeper relationship with your sense of self, with your energies and your consciousness. And it is one of many but an important one step towards developing an even more acute, detailed and intimate relationship with the greater source of your being with a greater level of awareness. This will enable you all to increase the very sense of self-awareness that you have begun to develop up to this point in time. And in order to accommodate this, we advise once again, to put aside or to suspend what you think you know about physical nature and physical reality. This process can be of great assistance in a great variety of ways we will elaborate upon in a few moments.

The simple center of such process is a means by which you can literally step aside from your own inner dialogues and mental censorship processes. Your physically or objectively oriented perceptions may indeed insist that the views about the world and about nature that you have acquired, perhaps even since infancy, may want to continue taking precedence; may even insist that what your senses perceive is what the reality is. That and your own various belief systems may indeed set up some interference from the signals, if you wish, or the communications that come from deeper within to connect you with that greater reserve of selfhood via innate systems of knowledge [pause while Peter reconnects to the phone call].

Thus, in other words, to acquaint yourselves intimately with your own inner dialogue will prove invaluable in assisting you to suspend or set aside those areas of your own mental states and consciousness that are central to your focusing upon physical reality in the manner in which you have grown accustomed, and focus instead on inner innate states of communication that tap into greater reserves of wisdom and knowledge beyond the five senses.

What we are suggesting is a means by which you can still recognize and acknowledge the world of the five senses, but at the same time focus much more so on the communications that are received from the inner senses and your own inner realities, inner realities which tap into streams or continuums of wisdom well beyond the boundaries of the official line of consciousness.

By developing a greater or more intimate relationship with those inner communications it may be possible for you, for example, to understand not only the mechanics of your own reality creation devices, but also in your communications with other individuals, especially those that may approach you for assistance and understanding the nature of their own reality creation devices. You may then be in a position to become aware of the communications and the situations in their own psychological, emotional states, even though the individual may not be necessarily aware of those very same things.

By developing this type of intimate relationship with your own inner communications you will, in so many words, develop an increased awareness in what is commonly referred to as extra sensory perceptions or the intuitive arts, the true arts of consciousness; availing yourself of information that can assist yourself and others that would not normally come from just the five senses alone, but that come from other areas of your consciousness that includes the five senses but is not limited to their feedback.

Such a state of mind needs some preparation, at least initially to set up the mechanisms and the flow of that information. And as we briefly hinted at in the last radio show, it involves utilizing your own creative imaginative processes, or the process of creating images or imagery in your mind in a slightly objective fashion, though utilizing subjective principles.

Many of you are familiar certainly with how you remember certain events, conditions and situations from your past. All of that information is stored what you call the subconscious mind or other parts of your awareness, and you simply retrieve the images and the feeling tones and the context of the events and circumstances. And it is done at such a rapid rate that you barely notice except when you know the information is stored but seem to have a slight difficulty in recalling that information to your satisfaction, until you abandon the recall process only to have that information then freely come up within moments.

What we are suggesting is not unlike such a process but utilized at a more meticulous level and it involves a refining of your imaging capacities as it were. An example of this would be to close your eyes and visualize or image or pretend to see your hand. For some it may be easy and for others not so easy. But if you take a close look at your physical hand with your eyes open to get a good snapshot, then close your eyes, it is easier for you to see or to imagine the picture of your hand. And part of that process involves this very imaging mechanism.

What we are suggesting is to go one step further, and to deliberately and conscientiously begin to construct the image of the hand, almost molecule by molecule as it were. Perhaps in the beginning starting from the wrist, literally weaving together units of consciousness into the atoms and molecules that make up the cells of various tissue that compose the hand, starting at the wrist. Literally seeing the hand, starting at the wrist, to be constructed layer upon layer; moving towards the palm, towards the construction of the thumb and the fingers – and make certain you have one thumb and four fingers, it is much easier – until you are able to very nicely visualize or see in your mind’s eye that the entire hand is constructed without any additional or missing phalanges, knowing that you have constructed a very nice image in your mind’s eye.

Once you are able to play with this kind of construction on several occasions and recognize that it becomes easier and easier, you can begin to image or imagine or construct other forms in your mind’s eye, beginning with whatever pops up in your mind at that point in time, be it a flower, a stone, a cloud – whatever image springs up in your awareness at that point. And the entire point of such a process is not that you will be creating hands and clouds and flowers and stones, but that you familiarize yourself with this deeper level of literally creating imagery for a very specific purpose.

Once you are familiar with it, able to break down the process in such a manner and reconstruct images, it may indeed become much easier for you to deal with other situations, such as; you have a physical challenge of some kind or you are aware of someone else having a physical challenge of some… in some way or another. Perhaps you have a problem with the knee, with your right knee, as an example.

Now we have to include here that as you become more proficient in the construction of these types of images in your mind’s eye, you will also discover that much more than a physically oriented process is at work. You will also be able to recognize the kind of energy involved, whether it is in the creation of your own mechanisms or of someone else, and this is what we mean: All emotional situations and events in your life, even from before your conception are also stored in what we have called the second mind – the energy construction of the physical body, a physical representation of the mind. All memories, images, events, conditions, situations in your life are in some way or another stored within various parts of the body.

In other words still, your energies or anybody else’s energies become intimately interwoven in the construction processes of your body. And by recognizing the intimate details of energy and tapping into the situation at those layers, whether you call it cellular or otherwise, will come up when you mentally construct or image the particular aspect of the body or otherwise in your mind’s eye. Thus, to return to the example of a problematic knee, in your mind’s eye you may begin to image that particular part of the body, seeing how it is constructed not only in physical terms but in energetic terms. And you may come across images and even emotional material stored within the atoms and molecules and consciousness of that portion of the body. And by tapping into those processes in your mind’s eye, you may very quickly recognize energies, emotions and otherwise, that can then be translated by yourself in order to recognize the origins of the challenge, whether of yourself or anybody else. If it is within your own body you are in a position then to deal with it, and if it is in someone else’s then you may indeed communicate those images and the impressions and translations thereof to them, to bring them to recognize that the physical challenge, whether it be pain, discomfort or otherwise, perhaps even illness, is the end result of a long-term communication that may have been ignored in such a way that the body resorts to a last ditch attempt to bring to the individual’s or your own awareness that there is a situation that has not been released, cleared or transformed in a manner that is helpful to the body and the individual.

This process not only can allow you then to be intimately familiar with your own or someone else’s source of challenge, but also provide you with the means to release it utilizing the very same process. This simply involves, first, the acknowledgment of the condition or situation including the emotional energetic counterpart which is at the source of it all. Secondly, the process itself is the addressing of the situation. And lastly, the need to accept self, an understanding and compassionate acceptance of the self may be all that is required to effectively create a transformation of the situation, a release of those locked or blocked energies which, for all intents and purposes, can immediately begin to reverse the situation or the condition. And to make very certain that your processes are still in line with intent you can do a cross-reference, either with yourself if the situation is yourself or your own, or with the other individual as the case may be. And simply ask them to mentally or inwardly gaze or address their own self and confirm that there is no longer any need to keep holding onto the situation; that their inner ecological environment is now congruent with their recognition that they can release the situation and can go on with their lives in a fulfilling manner.

In short, this process depends upon several items, one of which is of course, your ability to be clear in your own mind and to clearly see imagery, which is a gift each and every human being is endowed with because it is the foundational principle of reality creation. So you need not worry if another or yourself can tap into their own inner imagery but what you may need to do is pay attention to their or your language in such a manner as to see which is more conducive for them to tap into these states of inner imagery, as some individuals might not respond if you ask them if they see images, though they may easily respond if you ask them if they visualize or even if they pretend. This is but a small set of differences that can make a big impact in the manner in which the individual will respond and be congruent and that there is indeed rapport in your communication with him or her.

And we are aware that you have explored other processes as well and this can be an additional modality that can tie in very nicely with other processes that you have learned. What we are suggesting with this process here, is that it is yet another layer in a modality we have presented some time back called the Triple A, but at the same time utilized in a very effective method, not that other methods are not effective, but this is another way to utilize the process in conjunction with your innate abilities to create images in your mind’s eye.

And this, in turn, can lead you into a very interesting adventure or even adventures, as becoming proficient in this and other modalities that you have learned and explored, can awaken within you innate processes of consciousness that have been with your species since that species dreamt itself into being. Many ancient shamanic practices are indeed based upon similar processes and modalities. Even modern day medical intuitives and what you call psychics also rely upon similar processes. The process of recognizing imagery and impressions that come from within, as opposed to strictly focusing upon the processes geared towards an objectification of the senses or sense objects, if you wish.

What we are suggesting is simply another method by which you can make yourselves intimately aware and proficient with the use of these inner imaging processes. This, in turn, awakens deep wells of innate wisdom that may not have been utilized by your species in many hundreds and thousands of years. And these you may indeed begin to discover on your own by tapping into and utilizing these processes.

And we understand that you may have to listen to this recording again. Read the transcription carefully. Get a very good idea of what we are presenting, and ask questions as your need will arise and we will certainly see that your questions are answered so that you can deepen the processes on your own. And for all intents and purposes, we have not necessarily presented anything specifically new, but what we have attempted to do is simply break down a process that is already in use and has been in use by your species for a very long time; but break it down into a process that you can minutely examine, thus get a much better feel for such intimate exchanges of energies between individuals.

Now, what time is it?

MARK: 11:03

KRIS: Then perhaps we can suggest a very small break and afterwards or even during the break make certain that individuals are un-muted so that their questions can be answered. And if they prefer, they can text the messages of their questions to those responsible to communicate them afterwards. Therefore, we leave you to your small break.

MARK: Thank you. 11:04, 11:04 break.

[During break Anya talked about the group muscle-testing Yuen energy group activities and how they are using energy to generate visual images related to health concerns. Anya invited everyone who was interested to participate in this group. Tom Sherlock shared a visual image he received during Kris' presentation related to modern allopathic medicine's resistance to the energy and consciousness aspects of healing.]

MARK: Okay, he’s coming back kids. 11:14. We’re back.

KRIS: Now then, we would very much like to emphasize and be very clear that in terms of physical conditions and challenges, or the challenges brought about by any kind of situation, events, circumstance or condition all have their point of origin within consciousness energy. If you have physical discomforts or challenges of one kind or another or any illness as it is commonly referred to, these are manifestations of energies that have not been properly addressed.

We are certain that you have heard of the term energy medicine and energy psychology. And though it will take some time, the regular methods of dealing with illnesses and other conditions will gradually give way to an understanding that the situation exists in consciousness first and foremost. And until it is properly addressed by the individual, the situation will continue to present a challenge, but it can also present an opportunity, an opportunity to free oneself of those events and conditions, or what you can also refer to as baggage, blocked energies as it is commonly called, in a manner that brings about wholeness.

And we are well aware that some may claim that if an individual has a physical challenge or illness then he or she has chosen this and it is part of their fulfillment, and with that we would agree. However, there may be shades of understanding that are not brought about completely by simply stating it is their choice and it is part of their fulfillment. We would understand that many individuals make choices, in fact you cannot be without choice. You cannot have your being without choosing so, and in light of the topic at hand, yes the individual may indeed have chosen a challenge of one kind or another, but that choice may have been based upon lack of information, or perhaps a lack of awareness that there were other situations to choose from, other probabilities, other events that could have also been chosen to bring about a resolution to the individual’s own challenges.

And by assisting the individual in recognizing that there are other challenges involved, and that there are other choices that can be made, it can bring about a rapid resolution to their own specific struggle. And in terms of illnesses and other physical ailments and conditions, this often is the result of lack of knowledge concerning choices, mainly that they can reconcile and compassionately heal and accept themselves. And in doing so, can bring about a rapid transition from an undesirable state to one that is desired.

And if, in line with what we mentioned earlier about doing an inner ecological check to make certain the individual is congruent with the newly established choices and situation, in line with this, it is often simply a matter of assisting the individual recognizing that what they gain from their present situation or challenge or illness or trauma, that the gains from this situation can also be had through other means – means that are perhaps more wholesome, healing and nurturing than their present situation.

So it requires an high degree or level of compassion and conscientiousness on your part, towards yourself first and foremost and always, as well as towards anyone whom you would be assisting in recognizing that they have other choices, perhaps even more wholesome choices that can lead them to more desirable situations. And that is the crux of the issue, a conscientious and compassionate perspective.

And in terms of what we suggested moments ago concerning energy medicine and energy psychology, the matrix of this understanding is that, first and foremost there is consciousness, followed by the situation and the material condition, and not the other way around. And from consciousness stems all of reality, including the reality that you experience. Thus from YOUR consciousness stems the reality YOU are experiencing.

And as you grow in awareness and recognize that you are responsible for your consciousness and the resultant reality, so can you introduce others to the fact that they too are responsible for their reality and actions thereof. And of course this also includes that you can be of assistance to others in recognizing this and creating something wholesome. This is much more preferable than simply stating, “It is their reality, let THEM deal with it”. What we are aiming for then, is compassion and conscientiousness towards yourself which is reflected in your dealings with others. Does that make sense to you?

MARK: Yes.

KRIS: Thus this process we have described to you today can be a stepping stone to deeper knowledge. From experience as you practice, make yourself aware of the process and how to utilize it for and with yourself, and for and with others in a compassionate manner. It may evolve differently and naturally for each of you and though there may still be correlations between all of your processes, there will still be differences which can allow each of you to learn from the other yet again.

Perhaps you can all un-mute yourselves if there are questions to be asked.

MARK: Tom, you want to go first? [Pause, no answer] Anybody? Hello?

PETER: Sometimes when I try to help, they say I shouldn’t… I should mind my own business.

KRIS: Can you repeat your inquiry?

PETER: I try sometimes to assist others in seeing that they create their own reality, but this is not always successful because sometimes they don’t like me to interfere.

KRIS: This may simply depend on the manner in which they are approached. You may ask someone if they would be willing to listen to another point of view, not as something they SHOULD follow up on, but simply to take into consideration, to ponder, to test for themselves. And see how they fare with the suggestions. And leave it to them to then pursue a deeper understanding. It is a matter of approach after all. And the point would not necessarily be to convince them of your point of view, but instead to assist them in understanding how their perspective may be used to bring about a more wholesome approach. Does that answer your question?

PETER: Yes.

KRIS: Are there other inquiries?

LISA: I will ask Ester’s question: In the Saurayi Method I am studying, we are learning to find a state of awareness in which we connect with the point of awareness where I am who you are, but it is really an elaborated ritual, is there a way to simplify it?

KRIS: Can you interpret?

MARK: No, Lisa can you summarize that?

LISA: Sorry, because I’m reading the question for someone else.

MARK: Yeah, I know. We’re having trouble interpreting it.

ESTER: Okay, okay I’m here, so perhaps I can explain it. Okay, in the Saurayi method what we are learning is to achieve a state or expand it where we can connect with the other person in this kind of energetic space where we are one. And to achieve this state we need to make a ritual of many things and I feel that this is kind of unnecessary ritual.

KRIS: Indeed, we understand the inquiry, and perhaps initially a small ritual or practice, perhaps even something as simple as a meditation or focusing upon the flame of a candle, might be all that is needed to bring your energies into a congruent state where you enter that mood. But elaborate rituals may themselves take away from the process because the ritual is not the process, the state is what you are aiming for, that is your desired state, correct?

So once you have established how to get into that state, then the rituals themselves may be dispensed with, and simply an intent to focus in that direction to get into that mood may be all that is necessary. Initially, if you wish to play a game you must learn some of the rules, but after a while you do not need to know the rules, you simply play the game, correct?

ESTER: Correct.

KRIS: So do what works best for you and what gets you into that mood or that space in a fashion that is suitable for you. If you depend solely on the ritual then you might find yourself in a situation of need at some point in time, and if it is impossible to engage the ritual then you might feel as if you cannot get into the space. The ritual should only be a stepping stone.

Consider this, when you are young and you learn to swim, you need the assistance of someone else until you are able to swim very nicely all by yourself and feel safe and secure in your ability to swim, correct? Then, after a while, all you need do is jump in a pool and you are swimming. You do not have to learn to swim every single time you go into the pool. Does that make sense?

ESTER: A lot, thank you.

KRIS: Indeed, so do what works for you and eventually dispense with what no longer is necessary and work only with the state.

ESTER: Okay. Thank you Kris.

KRIS: Indeed. Are there other inquiries, questions, comments?

ALAN: If no one else comes up with one, I have one.

MARK: Go ahead.

ALAN: Kris, what you have previously described as a practice sounds very, very close to what our little energy practice group is doing and I wonder if you could comment maybe on the similarities and if we’re on the same track that you have just described.

KRIS: At the heart of the issue there is always, first and foremost, consciousness. Recognizing this foundational principle, you are bound to discover all on your own various methods and ways to address your issues. As long as the focus is always that consciousness energy exists first. That includes the state of your consciousness and energy even prior to a physical challenge of some kind or illness. That includes emotional states, perhaps more so than any others, as primary. And out of this, hundreds if not thousands of practices have evolved the world over for hundreds and thousands of years.

With the passage of time and inevitable distortions, the primary principle of consciousness can be obliterated or no longer recognized because the individuals have become overly immersed in strictly what their physical senses are interpreting for them. Thus you have presently, allopathic medicine which concerns itself merely upon symptomology and has nothing to do with healing in its own right. You are discovering on your own, knowing some of the things that you know, that consciousness is primary. It is THE operative principle. It is, simply put, THE principle. How you evolve that understanding and utilize it and maintain it as the core, you will always find means and methods by which to bring about a redressing of issues that have been unaddressed or buried within the consciousness of an individual or yourselves. And with these understandings it is easier then to come back to the source – consciousness – knowing that energies, situations that are submerged in a manner of speaking, that have not been addressed, now need to be addressed and released for the overall well-being of the individual – yourself or others included.

As long as it is recognized that consciousness energy is primal, then you can indeed evolve very many different kinds of processes for the well-being of yourself and others. Become adventurous. Become explorers. This territory is not yet fully explored, so consider yourselves as pioneers in a way, though there is still a foundation laid out over the last one hundred years, even coming from such diverse regions of knowledge such as quantum physics, still the principle of consciousness is being recognized slowly and surely. In this way you are breaking down barriers to innate knowledge and to the great potential that is always residing within the individual and within your species.

Imagine the strides in this area that have been uncovered in the last one hundred years. And just as easily imagine the strides that will continue to be explored, unfolded and put into action over the next one hundred years. Where it is even possible that there will be no further need to sacrifice body parts to defective beliefs, but that the state of well-being of an individual, a family, a society, a nation or even a civilization stems from its understanding concerning consciousness and energy [coughs].

Thus with this kind of a projection into your collective future, there stands to be radical changes in the way you even explore and come to understand the nature of your being, the nature of reality and how that reality stems from your being and not the other way around – that you are the bi-product of your environment and genetic codes – but that instead your influence, the presence of your energy influences your genetics and creates the environment. And when we say environment, we are not strictly speaking of your objective environment but addressing your inner psychological environment first and foremost. Does that answer your inquiry?

ALAN: Yes, Kris, thank you and much more than I asked.

KRIS: Indeed, do forgive us. Are there any other inquiries or are you filled for the day?

THERESA: This is Theresa. I have a question.

MARK: Okay.

THERESA: We’re talking about the physical body and the second mind and how the body remembers experiences and how these need to be released. What about the situation where a person is going to have some kind of a medical procedure done? I’m going to be, in about a month’s time, I’m going to be having some dental surgery and I’m wondering if there’s something proactive that I can do to reassure the body to minimize any trauma that might happen as a result of the medical procedure. Did you have any advice on that?

KRIS: Indeed. You can begin this very day by establishing, perhaps, a period of ten to fifteen minutes where you allow yourself to be very relaxed indeed. And in that relaxed state offer yourself gentle suggestions that though you will be undergoing a procedure, your own innate abilities to recover rapidly will come to your assistance. That underneath its physical appearance of form, your body has another kind of form – a form of energy and awareness, as it were. And that, in itself, can never be violated or injured in any way shape or form and that your recovery from the surgical procedure will be rapid and without incidence. It is a form of autosuggestion, always being very kind and gentle when offering yourself such suggestions. Do you follow?

THERESA: Yes, thank you.

KRIS: Thus we will return Joseph to you now, allowing each of you to enjoy the rest of your consciousness day.

GROUP: Thank you.

CMI 1-2: Like the Wind in the Trees

September 30, 2007

Kris Chronicles
Consciousness Mentoring Institute Second Session
Channeled by Serge J. Grandbois and Transcribed by Theresa Smart
Recorded in Toronto, Canada on September 30, 2007

Roll Call: Serge (Joseph), Mark (Philip), Marlene, Anya, Nardine, John H, Jim & Mavis, Lisa, Bill H, Tom Sherlock, Ella, Theresa, Alan

KRIS: Now we trust that you are comfortable and we thank you for your very early consideration, or as in some cases, very late considerations.

Today’s presentation we will title, ‘Like the Wind in the Trees’, and of course it is about consciousness but more specifically the actions and movements of consciousness. And by movement of consciousness we do not refer to anything related to Metamucil or bran muffins, but instead paying attention to the flow of energy, your energy specifically. And we do wish it understood that your energy is anything and everything that you happen to experience. So whether it appears as if the events, circumstances or conditions seem to be objectified or not, it is always, has always been and will always be, your energy.

Consciousness is a very varied experience, not necessarily a thing but an experience. And it is not static or something that exists separate from you or even outside of the field of your being, but instead it is the experience of your being in another manner. You may be accustomed to thinking of yourself, your being, as an accumulation or organization of atoms and molecules and cells and bodily parts and so on, but the truth of the matter is that these are, again, projections of ideas and concepts you entertain about yourself, and are in some way projected in a fashion that appears objectified, as if there exists a separation between what you normally refer to as yourself and your body, and everything else that occurs in the world.

And our particular point is that in establishing first, at some point during the day, a small practice of the Seven Circles Yoga we presented to you, and hopefully you found it relatively simple a process to go through, this yoga process will definitely assist you in getting in touch with those energetic processes that are always functioning within the field of your being. Whether you refer to it as external or internal is irrelevant but it always functions and the yoga allows you to become more aware of the processes themselves.

And as you attune yourself to the processes, the energies will be much easier to recognize, to get in touch with. And when your awareness is such that the recognition of the flow of those energies is much easier to identify because it is the living process of your being, your consciousness, then you can begin to gently maneuver along the flows of the processes within consciousness and in doing so, begin to incorporate a conscious synergistic participation where, for instance, in the past you might have considered the world as something occurring outside of and separate from you, you might even now begin to understand that the processes flow within the currents, the ebbs and tides of your own consciousness, and not something separate from it. This is, by the way, not a new process – it is how it is. This is how the processes occur or happen. The difference is that you utilize something like the Seven Circles Yoga to make yourself aware of the processes that have always been this way. The difference, again, is that you have been brought up to believe something different, to think something different is occurring, and that the nature of reality is something separate and different from you. The process, however, will show you that this is not the case, that the reality IS that consciousness flows like rivers and streams. There are currents of tones of your consciousness and they can be, in your own way, observed, understood and then consciously participated in, to begin experiencing the apparent separate oneness of the flows of your consciousness.

We have, in the past, spoken about differentiated and undifferentiated states of awareness. And we have also mentioned that there is a third point of access or observation that more or less is not as much as in-between, as it is in actuality encompassing both states of differentiation and non-differentiation. It is still a state slightly removed, belonging then, to consciousness. And if you begin to observe first in your natural world, more specifically, begin to note for instance how the gentle breeze or the strong wind or even stronger winds move through the trees, the branches and the leaves and begin to note that there is a dance involved in that process. That not only does the wind dance through the trees, but that the trees themselves are incorporated in that very action, as is everything else that encounters the wind is part of the process.

Just as easily you can also consider the flow of water, whether from a small trickle to a little brook, to a stream, to a river, right up to an ocean. So can you observe even with the flow of water, a specific dance and relationship involving both the water and everything that comes in contact with the water. Both the wind and the water, as a point of departure, for observing and getting in touch with that kind of process, of a relationship between the two, water or wind and everything either one comes in contact with.

So you might begin to develop a deeper appreciation for the very nature of your own flow of consciousness and the various tones within that field of your being, as a lovely and creative process all on its own, and yet a part of everything. Developing that sense of appreciation can indeed lead to not only breath-taking insights but belief and barrier-breaking realizations about how the various tones of your energies are used in concert as in a symphony to bring about the various elements that you entertain within that field of consciousness into an objectified type of experience so that you can better gauge the values and preferences that you are both assigning to as well as defining within the state of those experiences.

The process itself can be relatively simple. Just as in the Seven Circles yoga, once you practice it a few times it becomes easier to get in touch with the flow of your awareness along the process itself. And to pursue that kind of a experience simply requires an increased capacity to notice, to observe, and for a very simple reason. In observing you develop a frame of mind and reference through which the actions of your consciousness can become more real to you than a simple intellectualization or an attempt at understanding from having read books or listened to presentations and lectures, or entertaining discussions. The process of observation puts you in direct witness mode because you cannot observe a thing, an event, an action of any kind whatsoever but that you create the very thing that you are observing. And that statement can be more impactful than you could possibly imagine. As you grow within the stages of development in your observations, you can further fine-tune your own creative processes and further along, actually understanding the process that you create exactly what you observe, you can consciously take action here and begin to observe what it is that you desire and want and need in your life as a further benefit from engaging that process.

And observing has another very powerful secondary benefit, it might even be primary, but we will simply refer to it as a secondary benefit at this point, and that is that since it is impossible to not create what it is that you are observing, meaning that you create exactly what it is that you observe, you inadvertently and irrevocably alter the premise of anything that is, was, will be created by you at any other given time. And this is what we mean, as follows: How many of you may have noticed at some point in your life, that you introduce something, whatever that thing is, whether it be an object, a piece of furnishing, new emotions, new thoughts, anything into your life, and suddenly you realize that the introduction of this new thing necessitates a reshuffling of almost everything else surrounding it, whether physical, emotional, psychological or otherwise? You do not need to answer us at this point but perhaps during break you might be able to do so.

But for the time being take this into consideration: that anything that you do, that you entertain in your awareness, consciously or sub-consciously, or objectively or subjectively, anything that you introduce, anything that you do, any action you undertake necessitates a reshuffling, for lack of better word, a reorganization of the very premise of interacting with energy at any level, because this is in some way the very nature of the holographic or holoncentric universe, which is what you are. So any small area where there is change brings about a cascading effect of change in every other area instantaneously, though perhaps in your physical experience it might take a little while to finish the shuffling around. But those changes are introduced instantaneously to all other areas of your awareness because every single unit of awareness does and must contain the contents of every other single unit simultaneously so that there is a complete oneness within apparent separateness within the whole.

And what we introduced at the beginning of this humble discussion, whether it is utilizing and beginning to utilize the Seven Circles yoga, or being observant of energies like the wind through the trees which can function hand in hand, this process begins to awaken within you a state of awareness and observation where you can indeed take conscious reflections upon the very nature of what it is that you are, and what-it-is-that-you-are does. Because what-it-is-that-you-are is not a static state, as if you are somehow or other simply there, floating in the ethers or the vastness of consciousness. That is not the case at all.

What-it-is-that-you-are IS a pure state of action, always in a state of being, which is doing. And that kind of action may, for most individuals, simply go unnoticed, unrecognized for countless lives. But you have an opportunity here to begin actually paying attention to interacting with and utilizing the great powerful and creative state of being that is expressed as you. You are not an anachronism, nor something puny and ineffective, something irrelevant or something filled with flaws and inequities. But you are so unaccustomed to thinking in terms of being as an action that paying attention to that great energy that expresses itself as you might initially seem difficult to pinpoint, but only because you are unaccustomed to it, such as you are perhaps unable to see the forest for the trees.

But once you begin to see, once you begin to experience and develop an awareness then indeed this will initiate within you a cascading effect of awareness to a much higher degree than, again, simply intellectualizing or discussing, but that it comes instead from the very act of experience. It comes from your gut, it comes from actual experienced knowledge. That makes a world of difference.

So perhaps you can all enjoy a very small break where you can discuss among yourselves or chitchat. And then when we return, we would like very much to lead you into a small practice.

[pause]

KRIS: Now we wish to express appreciation to each of you for the discussion during break. It is very important that these kinds of exchanges happen because they bring home the deeper realization that all of these metaphysical talks are not existing in the great vacuum of your brain but are already a part of your daily experiences if you but notice it. And indeed, when you enter the state of mind of the observer or the witness, when you notice, you are automatically in a deepening alpha state. You are therefore slightly removed or in a trance-like state, meaning that your awareness is automatically expanding.

You cannot enter a witness state without a certain degree of expanded awareness. So it is to your practical benefit to engage such processes when it is beneficial for you to do so, giving you much more practice. This is a different kind of focusing. It is a focusing towards expanding awareness as opposed to concentrating your focus. And it can also be said that simultaneously in expanding your focusing you are concentrating it in a different fashion. Reorganizing the structure of your concentration in that way gives you the ability then to engage the actions of your consciousness.

What we have in mind, for your lovely selves, is a small practice which would simply require you to be seated comfortably, as comfortable as possible, hands on your lap, not interlaced but simply resting on your lap. And as you make yourselves more comfortable allow yourselves to breathe nicely, deeply and in a deepening manner where you can feel the rise and fall of your chest and your tummy as you breathe in and the contraction of your chest and tummy as you breathe out. And continue to breathe this way deliberately, slowing the process, allowing feelings of relaxation to begin anywhere in your body as you also listen to the sound of our voice. And as you pay attention to the breathing, the feelings of relaxation spreading throughout your body, listening to the sound of our voice, pretend or imagine that you are like a gentle breeze flowing through the air, feeling everything that you come in contact with, be it tree trunks and branches and leaves, perhaps stones and rocks, boulders or mountains, clouds high in the sky where you play with the clouds and form them, give them shape, whatever shape that is. Feeling the moisture droplets within the clouds. Perhaps rushing by some birds flying high in the sky, feeling their feathers and their wings beat into your wind body giving them additional lift. Perhaps you go down towards the earth again, brushing up against and feeling houses, buildings, cars, people, their clothing, their hair. Perhaps you go by the countryside, rushing into fields of corn or wheat or sunflowers or apple orchards, brushing up against the fruits, the grains, the vegetables, the plants. And as you continue to brush up against the earth, embracing it, caressing everything along the way, you come across a little stream or a big river or an ocean. And allow yourself to become one with that, becoming water now. The water rushing against the banks of the river, perhaps noticing roots from trees above, rocks, fish, other water creatures. Perhaps in the ocean you brush against and embrace whales, dolphins, other lovely sea creatures. Perhaps as the ocean, the water within it, you also brush up against small islands or mountain ranges on the bottom, feeling hot vents, the very depths of the ocean, the skeletal remains of ancient ships. Perhaps deep coral, sunken treasure and other strange deep sea creatures. Once again rising towards the surface, perhaps seeing rays of sunlight piercing into the water, becoming those rays of sunlight now. Rising above and out of the water. And noticing within your physical bodies various ranges, emotional tones and feeling tones, considering these to be like different musical instruments within the symphony. As in a symphony you have various musical instruments; drums, symbols, flutes, violins, cellos, pianos, all kinds of instruments working in harmony through the knowledge and experience of the musicians, to create a beautiful piece of music. And so, becoming aware of the emotional and feeling tone energies within your being, you recognize that you have at your disposal then, a great range of instruments within which you create the symphony of your life. Great production, the symphony of your life, a beautiful creative engagement where various synergies come together and you are not only filled with these various instruments but you are also the Maestro, conducting, carefully, creatively, magically conducting the great symphony of your life as a masterpiece creation. And you become aware of each single instrument and the whole orchestra itself, working in tandem and togetherness yet each instrument, beautiful in its own. And as you continue to imagine this, know that everything in your life is an expression, then, of what you create. Everything you observe and experience, you do so because you have created it, without exception. That you cannot listen to the symphony without you having created the symphony, every instrument, every musician, every piece of sheet music and the Maestro, all a wonderful, synergistic creation on your part. And now, still listening to the sound of our voice, take a very nice deep breath to begin returning your energies to your body, allowing all sensations to return to the body, knowing that when we count from three to one, you will awaken, eyes open, fully awake and aware and feeling good about yourself in every way and in many ways you never considered before. Three. Two, wiggle fingers and toes. And one.

Open your eyes now, fully conscious and awake, aware of the wonderful synergy of power and creativity that you conduct. And the very fact that you have observed this, is because you have created it as such. That you cannot observe or participate in a thing, an event or action of any kind, without it being your creation.

And now that you are all fully awake and aware, we would suggest that for the next two weeks you allow yourself as much fun and creative expressions of what we have just discussed with you as possible. Become doubly and triply aware of yourself in action, like the wind in the trees.

Now are there any inquiries before we leave you to your lovely creative selves, then?

MARLENE: This is Marlene. I would like to know what he meant when he said that, um that when we observe it was a different energy than concentration.

KRIS: It is a different kind of concentration, but it is an expanded concentration as opposed to when you are deeply focusing on one singular item. Do you follow the difference?

MARLENE: Yes.

KRIS: Thus, observation means that your awareness is in the position of a net to catch as much as possible within the field of your awareness.

MARLENE: And that includes your own focus, correct?

KRIS: Observe your energies. Does that answer your inquiry?

MARLENE: Yes.

KRIS: Indeed then.

ANYA: This is Anya. I have a question. When I was practicing Seven Circles Yoga, you know sometimes I would do it in the afternoon, what I noticed, sometimes when I feel a certain emotion, maybe more of a negative emotion, I would feel like I have too much water energy and by engaging more of a wind or like the eagle, I felt like I was gaining a little bit more balance. Would Kris, would you comment on how maybe else can the rebalancing of those three centers can be used to shift states?

KRIS: We believe in the past we have given a small practice for balancing energy centers. We believe you call it fingering yourself. That will be a very quick and easy method to rebalance yourself if you observe that you are somehow or other not as harmonious as you would like. And at the same time we trust that when you say you have too much wind, it is not the result of having eaten beans. Now, all kidding aside, it is very easy to balance yourself. Does that answer your inquiry?

ANYA: Yes.

KRIS: Indeed then. Then we will leave you to your lovely, windy selves and may all of what you observe be most pleasant indeed, since it is of your creation.

KRIS: Now we trust that you are comfortable and we thank you for your consideration.

MARK: Thank you.

KRIS: And welcome also one and all, to this the first presentation on the Consciousness Mentoring Institute. Something we will call the Life Enrichment Program. This set of discussions over the next few months will provide you with many different kinds of tools, some of which have previously been brought about and new ones. All meant to increase your level and degree of awareness and response-ability (two words: response ability) towards your own consciousness and learn to work with it, utilize it, at a more conscious level for many purposes, including assisting others to also awaken to their own abilities to respond to consciousness, thereby increasing the dimensionality of awareness. In some cultures this would be called enlightenment, to a certain degree, simply becoming aware of the greater reality within which you have your being.

And not all such practices or yogas are necessarily mental. Some will be physical. And we will present the physical first, as a means to ground yourself and develop a refined awareness of your bodies and of the energies flowing through your bodies. Whilst we will share with you and describe this particular yoga, which we call the Seven Circles Yoga, which may contain bits and pieces of different yogas presented in some cultures as well as some that do not exist as of yet, until we present them. This is meant not only to help ground yourselves but also provide a system that is most practical and effective in awakening deeper, more subtle energies that are part of your biological and spiritual make-up. You are, by now, well aware that, though you have what is called a physical body and it has its very physical functions, you also are both physically and otherwise composed of energy. And though we understand that it is a very generic term, we utilize it because you can impart specific inferences from it.

As you put into effect the physical type of yoga we will be presenting shortly, you may notice very quickly an expanded awareness, increased levels of energy, of vitality, perhaps even a greater peace of mind, a greater facility to concentrate and become much more aware then of the flow of energies through your energy centers, and be able to utilize that energy in a beneficial manner for many other purposes which we will describe as we proceed.

Whilst we describe these types of yoga, Philip will be so kind as to record it on video so that you can all then get a much better grasp by watching the video, afterwards of course. During our descriptions we will also ask each of you to participate as best you can to begin connecting with your own great energies on the spot, as in on-the-job training, so to speak. This will facilitate a greater connection amongst all of you, with ourselves and with your Source. Before we begin getting into this type of yoga, which means to bring together, or to unite, to integrate, or even to become aware, we would like to ask all of you to simply take a very nice deep breath and when you exhale to do so with a fairly loud sigh, as in a deep sigh of contented satisfaction, this way [Kris takes a deep breath in and exhales with a loud sigh]. And do that three or four times, very nicely, gently but affirmatively [short pause]. A second time [short pause]. Third time [short pause]. And one last time.

Now what we suggest is all of you can stand up exactly where you are. Now what we have done is divide the body from the lower waist up into three areas. The lower area literally from your abdomen down to the top of your legs, we call that your earth center. It will take those energy centers that ground you to your physicality, to your physical experience and all of the energies that are pertinent to your physical representation and model of life. It is part of your sub-conscious and psychological body relating to earthly experience.

The middle body from the lower lungs up to the throat area, the collar bone; you can refer to that as your middle body. It contains those energy centers that also connect you with your emotional existence and all of the energies pertinent to your emotional life. And each of those three areas is very vast in its dominion.

The third area, anything above the shoulders; your higher centers, not that any is better than the other, but for simplicity’s sake we have called them lower, middle and higher centers. The higher center contains those energy centers pertaining to the more subtle psychological fields of actions including all of your inner senses.

And what we are suggesting is that there are names you can also apply to them for easier recognition. Thus the lower center, you may refer to it as your earth center. The middle – water center, and the higher – air center. And you can even for your own pleasure, assign an animal, an animal to each of the areas; a powerful creature. For instance, the earth center can be represented by a bear or any other animal you so choose that is powerfully representative of earth-like energies. The middle, you can assign perhaps a large sea creature, a fish, any kind that you like. And the air center can be represented by a creature whose domain is the air, perhaps an eagle, a condor, a hawk or any other bird you like. So each center can be represented by a powerful animal figure for your own ease of recognition and relating.

And there are simple physical movements that can be utilized to bring each of your energy centers in the three locations described, into harmony and balance in such a way that you yourself can recognize just how soothing, healing and powerful it is to be in connection with each of your energy centers in the three locations described. That in itself will give you access to a great deal more energy and peace of mind in such a manner that you can benefit greatly from it.

And we would ask you all to stand, perhaps with your feet approximately sixteen to eighteen inches apart, which is about the same distance as your shoulders. And in so doing, allow yourselves to be even more comfortable by making certain that your shoulders and back are straight, and very gently tuck in your tummy ever so slightly and allow your knees to bend also ever so slightly, so that you are not in one straight line but provide the body the ease to support itself quite naturally. This will give a great relaxation to the muscles along the entire back and be less fatiguing. Just become aware for a moment of your body as it is and drop your arms along your side with your palms facing your thighs, so that you have a very nice posture that is relaxing.

And in a moment you can begin to breath very nicely, preferably as you inhale, breath from the abdomen as if you are inflating a small balloon. And as you breath in allow the balloon to continue inflating right into the lungs. And when you begin exhaling do the reverse – retract the abdomen ever so slightly to make certain you expel most of the air you have taken in. Now we ask also that, as this following exercise continues, you do a few ??17:22 – pay attention to the beat of your heart, as best you can. Simply become aware of your heartbeat, of your breathing, of the slow gentle movements of your body, as we will describe it and the flow of energy that these movements trigger. And to begin you are also quite free to do this yoga any time of day you choose. The preference would be upon rising but you can also do this at any time of day, preferably not too late in the evening as the energy might prevent you from having a gentle relaxing sleep.

Now, let us begin with what we call the sunrise circle. And this simply involves, first of all, placing your right hand over your heart. Placing your left hand on top of your right hand, and then opening up the arms over your head, as if you are the sun rising over the horizon. And gently do this in slow motion to become aware of everything involved. And gently begin to open your arms raising them over your head as if you are the rising sun coming up over the horizon, ending up with your arms outstretched at shoulder level completely open. And then bring the hands back, right over heart, left over right. And do this six more times. You may open your eyes, you may keep them closed, it does not matter. Be aware, however, of the movement of the muscles, the arms, your breathing, especially to inhale as you open up the arms, inhale again as you close the hands. [pause]

Keep your awareness on the movements. Now release the hands, bring them back to your side. Take a nice deep breath. And this time we will pretend to be one of the enormous air creatures or sky creatures, an eagle or a condor fully opening up its wings and in order to do this you may have at first to bend your body to the left and then to the right as we will describe it. But take your right arm, bring it straight up over your head, and then bend slightly to the left, your left arm of course reaching down almost to your knee. And then in a great arc, sweep the air in front of you as if you are opening your wings all the way back, bringing your arm back on the bottom, and resting it by your right leg. Repeat with the other arm, raising it straight up, bending to the right this time, breathing in and great sweep right to the back, bringing your arm down by your left leg. And do this six more times. All the way back and then the arm down, and then with the left. [pause]

Now return to the relaxed standing position, knees slightly bent, back straight. Take a nice deep breath. Now utilizing the arms again, this time you may pretend that you are a great big fish swimming through the waters of the oceans. And it simply means that you can bring your hands to your chest as you did initially, and this time put them in a prayer-like position, palm against palm. And then move your arms in front of your body, extending your hands as far as they will go, separating your palms until they are turned inside out, and then swim all the way to the back. Bring the arms down. Begin again. You may have to slightly bend your body forward, do so as you need. Swimming through the great oceans, activating the energy centers, paying attention to them as you are going through the motions. Breathe in and out nicely, maintaining your awareness focusing completely on the movements, on the presence of mind and be mindful of yourself, of your energies, everything that you do.

Then return to the original standing position, take a deep breath and now pretend you are a powerful earth creature, perhaps a bear or some other great being. And lift your right leg up to hip level, turn it around and bring it back. Left leg, lift the knee up, turn it inside out, all the way circle back down. Be aware of your movement. If you need to support yourself by your desk or whatever to maintain balance, do so. Do this set of circles seven times, being a powerful earth creature. As you do this, stomp or pretend you are stomping the earth, connecting with its power.

Indeed back to the relaxed standing position, back straight, shoulders arms down in a relaxed manner. And again, take a deep breath and exhale with a loud sigh [Kris inhales and exhales with a loud sigh]. And allow yourself to sit.

Now then, we suggest a very small pause at this point, but keep awareness of your energies.

[pause for 1 minute 20 seconds]

KRIS: Now then we take it that you have recovered from this physical type of exercise. Be aware that this simple set of movements increases cardiovascular heart rate in a very beneficial manner, increases the flow of blood to all regions of the body and, even more significantly, balances all of your energy centers, allows for a proper flow of what you call ‘chi’ to all areas of the body. But even more so, it helps in generating a mellow and soothing frame of mind that is the result of alignment with your energies, and as such enables you to take in a greater awareness of your energy or energies as the case may be.

As you become more expert in following this small practice, which takes approximately twelve to fifteen minutes, you will begin to notice that your entire system becomes energized in more ways than one, that you will actually begin to feel and become aware of the electromagnetic field of your body itself; that it extends beyond your physical image. These are the more subtle aspects of your body and form that are also part of your consciousness and you can become aware of them, that you can become consciously aware and have rapport with this field of energy, the result of which is your physical body.

Thus outside of the image of your physical body, this field of energy represents your more subtle aspects and it can be utilized and worked with in a great many ways. For instance, we can ask each and every one of you to extend your right hand, palm open towards your telephone or monitor, computer if you are utilizing a computer. And as we do so as well, sending some of our energy through the system, the telephone system, to join through your various devices in touching your own palm or hand as it is outstretched towards the device, you may perhaps begin to sense a small sensation somewhere on or in your hand. Some of you may feel it more than others, and it is neither here nor there in any way. And as this slight sensation in your hand may increase, allow it to flow into your arm, and you can gently pull your hand back from the device and at the same time continue to allow the sensation to run up your arm into your body, as if it were a wave of light filled with particles of awareness that begin to course through your body and literally touch upon each of your energy centers from the top of your head, down through each of the three regions – air, water, earth – making a connection with each of the energy centers within those regions. Finally to come to rest in the area of the heart, expanding the energy field of the heart outwardly in all directions, as if the heart energy, like a bubble, keeps expanding and expanding to join with the entire field of the body energy.

And in your mind, you may even begin to entertain various images. Pay attention to those, knowing that as the energies blend and expand, awareness increases, blockages are pushed back, even completely removed from your energy field. And very gently allow the energies to continue expanding well beyond the outer reaches of your body into more subtle energies and gently now take a deep breath. Open your eyes if you had closed them. If you had not closed them, look somewhere else in the room. Shift your attention and become fully aware of who you are in the moment.

Now how are you feeling right now?

THERESA: A little light-headed, but nice.

KRIS: Each of you may also notice that, for the most part, anything that would otherwise concern your mind seems to be out of reach. And this is a very nice state to cultivate because it is resonant with being aware, fully aware, of your presence in the moment. And that is a fairly similar state that is often discussed in all of the great perennial philosophies and spiritualities on your planet, past and present. It is a high stage of awareness and it is the beginning of many such stages. And you can take advantage of these simple processes; the Seven Circles Yoga we described earlier and this small energy exercise. Does anyone have any questions at this point in time?

ELLA: In this exercise we received energy, sort of, …(inaudible). But when we do it ourselves we just simply think of your energies or any energies to start that process?

KRIS: You can and you can just as easily reach out to your own higher self or inner Source and connect with that energy; to offer it to yourself as a physical being. You can invite any source of energy you feel is appropriate for yourself. Does that answer your question?

ELLA: Very much.

KRIS: Indeed. Any other questions?

ELLA: For whatever reason I sensed that at one location where I feel pain that that field was not there or weak. Would something like that also occur?

KRIS: Correct. Now, this is something we were waiting for. One of the things that you can do, any of you can do this, if you notice that any area of your body seems cold or that the energy is weaker or more isolated, as you have discovered, you can take either your first two fingers of your right hand or utilize your entire hand if it is an area of the body that you can reach, and put the fingers or the hand on that area, and pretend or imagine or see, that the fingers or the hand create a vibration that draws energy to that spot on the body. So that within a few moments the entire spot vibrates or resonates to the energy of the rest of the body. You may find this most useful for many conditions. Do you follow?

We did, several weeks back, suggest that we would introduce you to many energetic arts, do you remember? Consider this, then, an introduction. And it is most useful to practice this Seven Circles to bring your entire body into harmony. This will enable you to recharge or regenerate your batteries, as it were, thus giving you the increased stamina and energy to continue doing what you do, and expand that energy into assisting others when others are interested in participating. But it is difficult at times to assist others when you yourselves are out of alignment. Do you follow?

If all of these discussions, all of this work, all of these philosophies and ideas remains at the level of the intellect, at the level of talk, then the whole self is not brought into the picture, it remains at the mental level. When you introduce it as we have shared with you this morning, at the level of physical body which is an expression of your own spiritual energies, then you integrate a wholeness, a holistic sense of well-being and integration that is the cure for many ailments, both mental, psychological and physical. It not only takes you into the body where you need to be, as opposed to merely in your head, but it also takes you deep into awareness of energy that creates. Does that make sense to you?

And without that kind of awareness, simply wishing for things to happen in your life may indeed delay the process that you wish to activate. Thus you now have at your disposal very powerful tools that can only benefit you; that can bring you closer to the source of self, which is what many of you want. But many of you find somehow or other blocked from achieving because, for the most part, most people consider the physical body as something to get away from. We are of a very different opinion and we can prove it by what you do with these exercises, because anything that we tell you is not something you need to believe on faith alone but by what it does within your body, which is your laboratory of consciousness. Does that make sense to you?

So it is only by bringing body awareness into self that you actually connect with self. And with that we will leave you for a small break.

[break]

Now then, do understand that you may consider yourselves physical beings and you are, in part, correct. You may also consider yourselves spiritual beings and you are also correct. And the very place where your spirituality and your physicality meet, is within your body and particularly when you have presence of mind to be aware of that junction, of that joining up into wholeness. And, as such, the yoga we presented assists you in tapping into that very presence of the moment where you can develop greater awareness of your whole being including and beyond the physical aspect.

So it is to your benefit to take advantage of this yoga, share it with others. And if you can put it into practice on a daily basis, though you are not obliged, but if you can on a daily basis, within a matter of weeks you will notice an increase in awareness of whom and what you are, especially an increased awareness of your sensory perceptions; hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, touching. These will become harmoniously balanced and far more acute. Some of you may even think that somehow or other you have gotten brand new senses. We are not making claims of overnight cures but we are saying that there will be a marked increase in sensory perceptions. That should be your trigger to understanding that, in terms of awareness in consciousness, you have reached a new platform of perspective.

That also should signal to each of you that your own mind, that your own mind, is more available in ways you may not have considered before. Because the physical exercises themselves have their own benefits, but in terms of energy, it creates new pathways in the brain, new neurological paths become created as you practice all of this. And this is significant because it increases the flow of ideas and creativity, of richness of experience and fulfillment. In other words, you will be taking into consideration that much more of your being, physically and energetically. And with an increase in neurological pathways you are bound to notice a greater sensitivity to ideas, idea complexes, energy, a greater overall awareness of what it is to be a powerful creative being. Does that make sense to you?

There are many schools of thought who advocate that the physical body is a malicious instrument meant to separate you from Source. That somehow or other the body must be controlled, the body must eventually be eradicated. All bodily sensations and desires must somehow or other be eliminated in order to experience the true and pure power of Source. And yet, Source – your Self – has created the physical body to experience, has it not?

It does stand to reason that this magnificent communicative instrument that you call the physical body is an incredible, miraculous construction because in each of the cells of that physical body is the awareness and the presence of Source. Therefore it stands to reason that you can make the greatest connection with Source right though the bodily self that you have.

Consider the body as a sacred instrument of communication. Whether you refer to it as the divine, as Source, as Higher Self, Essence, energy; it is through that meeting point of time, space, spirituality and biology that Source can be recognized. In other words, you are the embodiment of Essence.

We will thank each and every one of you for your kindness and consideration. And with this we leave you to your own beautiful devices and selves.
