The subject for this download has to do with SPIRIT s[1]:
The Acts 11:5 in a trance I (Peter) saw a vision, a certain vessel descend … v12: And the spirit bade me to go with them, nothing doubting … seen an angel in his house … Holy Ghost fell on them … [Gentiles were also granted repentance unto life] Acts 12 v1-10: the angel came upon him, and a light shined in the prison … [Herod imprisoned Peter who was then helped by an angel to escape.] The Holy Bible, 1961, The Gideon International
The external characteristic is immediately recognizable as the technique we use to download symbols i.e. neuromuscular bio feedback; it is WRIST CONTACT s[02]:
Ossowiecki: 'I too am seeking an explanation of the powers manifested in me.' A flash of intuition passed through my mind. 'It was through the contact sir,' I told him, nodding towards my right wrist, which Ossowiecki still held in his hand. 'Oh! Yes! He answered … 'You certainly know that it is the easiest way in which to read another's thoughts!' Sadhu M. Meditation, 1967, Wilshire Book Company
The internal aspect is given as the body's energy field, the L-FIELD s[3], and what the BodyTalk practitioners refer to as the ‘innate’:
In the book Dr Burr has written of these studies called Blueprint for Immortality, the L-field, or 'blueprint' is described as that which keeps us recognizable to one another and ourselves, keeps our basic design intact while the material of our bodies is ceaselessly renewed or replaced. … The implication of detecting and recording L-fields goes far beyond healing - showing as it does that the universe is an ordered system, the human organism an ordered component … vast potential … measurement of (voltage patterns in) L-fields … These beginnings will undoubtedly lead to many other valuable means of internal diagnosis. … this Life Field that connects us with a universal Field. Coxhead N. Mindpower, 1979, Penguin Books
The SYNTHESIS s[2+3]: This is the method we use to communicate with the unconscious, which is through one's wrist using neuromuscular biofeedback. This fits with the 'spirit' or angel communications in s[1]; the Holy Ghost is also Sophia.
The core issue is in the symbol ABBEY s[4]: Refer back to the whole of blog number [06]:
Abbey: represents a more profound dimension of reality that most of us are aware of … It may be a symbol of those parts of the psyche that lie below the surface … it may even represent the self - that is, the 'true' or 'essential' you … may symbolize the older, more basic parts of your psyche. … the kind of awareness that is quite independent … much more ancient and may indeed be as old as evolution itself, and often, in order to get at the truth about ourselves, we need to stop thinking and learn to rely on older modes of knowing. Ackroyd E. A Dictionary of Dream Symbols, 2005, Illustrated
One must unpack the symbol NATURE s[5] from Kant's perspective and try find how it fits in the position of Consequence. For example, having access to unconscious knowledge is like having access to the internet, where instead of search engines we use our intuitive faculties [or ] to search the collective database of a universal Mind. The resistance we have is a problem of faith, see s[10], and the big questions about the meaning of life etc.
How is nature itself possible? This question, which is the highest point that transcendental philosophy can ever touch … contains two questions. First: How is nature possible in general in the material sense, namely according to intuition, as the totality of appearances; … The answer is: by means of the quality of our sensibility … Secondly: How is nature in the formal sense possible, as the totality of rules under which all appearances must stand … The answer … : nature is possible only by means of the quality of our understanding … The possibility of experience in general is thus at the same time the universal law of nature. Prolegomena, 1962, Press
The symbol for position six is ADVANCEMENT s[6]:
The developed world is entering the biotech age. The key to nature's blueprint for life has been found in the decoded genome … In the here and now manifold advances in medicine are offered by present biological breakthroughs … present day developments offer a quality and length of life undreamed of … The contrast between the south and north poles of the health gap are awesome. … in all probability become grotesquely exaggerated. You can see what those futurists with their admittedly exaggerated claim about humanity sub-dividing into different species are getting at. In all probability, the majority of humanity will occupy neither the north pole of post-modernity, nor the south pole of pre-modernity. The majority will be a rumbling, grumbling, morphing, squalling, living buffer between the two. … But the clock is working against societies hoping for onward transition. The reason is the gulfs that will have to be crossed are becoming wider all the time. To a significant extent these gulfs are the existing fissures that define the world today: … Our purpose is to recognize that these differing ends and means are pursued through different value systems. These value systems or sets arise as a product of the unique attitudinal orientation of a group. Venter L. In the Shadow of the Rainbow, 2001, Heinemann
The following symbol ANXIETY s[7] in the position of outcome is really very interesting because it relates to what attracted me to the BodyTalk system a few years ago. I grew up believing that I had an anxiety disorder brought on by a traumatic birth, but this came up under BodyTalk as caused by reaction to my father's consciousness while I was still in the womb during the second trimester. Whatever it was it stressed me out to the point that I literally tried to hang myself with my umbilical cord; BodyTalk linked this event to my father's death (to the exact date), and the effect was instantaneous: a massive release that brought my anxiety down.
to find something that will tell us what anxiety really is, some criterion … Analysis of anxiety-states therefore reveals the existence of (1) a specific character of unpleasure, (2) acts of discharge and (3) perceptions of those acts. … Anxiety, then, is a special state of unpleasure with acts of discharge along particular paths … inclined to regard anxiety-states as a reproduction of the trauma of birth … there can be anxiety without the prototype of birth. … anxiety has an indispensable biological function to fulfill as a reaction to a state of danger … But what is a 'danger'? In the act of birth there is a real danger to life. We know what this means objectively; but in a psychological sense it says nothing to us at all. The danger of birth has as yet no psychical content. We cannot possibly suppose that the foetus has any sort of knowledge that there is a possibility of its life being destroyed. .. Unfortunately far too little is known about the mental make-up of a new-born baby. Freud S. Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety, 1961, The Hogarth Press
In order to overcome one's conditioning we need to unpack the symbol LANGUAGE s[8]:
From phenomenology to structuralism: Thus, language was seen as an entity in itself, used for communication, but not created by the user. It did not reflect reality, but created it. This theory, unlike phenomenology, allowed for objectivity, but not for individuality, nor for context or situation. Post-structuralism has adapted the theory to allow for the system shifting in response to these factors. … Now, language is recognized as a means of communication, which reflects the nature of the world as we experience it - not as science would seek to show it. Our language reflects that we are 'of' the world we experience, and not its external observers. Appelbaum D. World Philosophy, 2002, Vega
The symbol given for the attitude one must adopt, relates to TRAUMATIC AMNESIA s[9]:
Traumatic amnesia: the most controversial aspect of traumatic amnesia is the validity of delayed recall. Although the controversy is a more complex affair that touches on issues of incest, family, social mores, and even religious beliefs, it is fundamentally a debate about accuracy, distortion, and suggestibility in memory … for example, we know that child abuse is a major problem in our society. There's no reason to question the memories of people who have always remembered their abuse or who have spontaneously recalled it on their own. … The issue comes down to distinguishing between dissociation and repression. … There is good reason to believe that different brain mechanisms are at work for temporarily forgotten traumas versus amnesia of extended periods of time. … So while single incidents may be repressed, dissociation offers the best explanation for traumatic amnesia. Ratey J. A User's Guide to the Brain, 2003, Abacus
The next symbol is FAITH s[10] and it needs to be understood as that which follows the changes under conditioning and attitude and now presents itself as the right action to take. See how this links back to a previous download [blog number 6; and in the same position 10]. Go back further to blog number 3 and read up Institutions under s[1]. One must choose to find the truth within by other means than those we have been taught.
Nobody knows what ways of approach are open to man, what inner experiences he can still pass through and what psychic facts underlie the religious myth. Over this hangs so universal a darkness that no one can see why he should be interested or to what end he could commit himself. Before this problem we stand helpless. … So at least it seems to the man of today, who has received hundred-fold enlightenment concerning the backwardness and darkness of past ages and their superstitions. That his teachers have themselves gone seriously astray by making false comparisons between the commensurable factors never enters his head. All the more so as the intellectual elite to whom he puts his questions are almost unanimously agreed that what science regards as impossible today was impossible at all other times as well. Above all, the facts of faith, which might give him the chance of an extramundane standpoint, are treated in the same context as the facts of science. Thus, when the individual questions the Churches and their spokesmen, to whom is entrusted the cure of souls, he is informed that membership is a creed … that the facts of faith which have become questionable for him were concrete historical events … only two possibilities are open to him: either to believe implicitly, or to reject such statements because they are flatly incomprehensible. … And he said, ("Do you understand what you are reading?" "How can I unless someone guides me?" Acts .) … the religious impulse rests on an instinctive basis and is therefore a specifically human function. … When any natural human function gets lost, i.e. is denied consciousness and intentional expression, a general disturbance results. Jung C.G. The Undiscovered Self, 1958, Routledge
Quality and quantity aspects within the symbol HYPNOSIS s[11] relate to the human potential we need to explore.
Hypnosis: Today, fortunately, the fact that something of the mind really can and does block the perception of pain is at least recognized much more than it was … a mysterious inner hidden part was experiencing everything. And whatever this inner part was, it was clearly quite capable of intelligent communication. Hilgard has called this inner 'power' the 'hidden observer', which gives us yet another name for what we have now seen to have many names, from Enid Blyton's 'under-mind' to tennis coach Timothy Gallwey's Self 2. And it is interesting to note the reaction of Hilgard's hypnotized subjects on being made aware of this inner part of them that was still feeling the pain, despite the disavowal by their outward consciousness. Some felt annoyance that they seemed to have a rather superior-minded intruder within them; others were comforted with the idea that this might be some form of guardian angel … tip of the iceberg of yet more extraordinary physical potentials still awaiting our exploration. Wilson I. Superself, 1989, Sidgwick &
In the position number 12 one has to decode the symbol CROSS s[12] to get at the objective one must strive for through right action. This relates to understanding how the crucifixion myth is symbolic of the initiation process to free the spirit element.
Death of the godman: Jesus is generally believed to have been crucified on a cross, but the word translated by 'cross' in the New Testament has a general meaning of a 'stake'. It was the custom of the Jews to expose on a stake the bodies of those they had stoned to death, as a warning to others. In the Acts of the Apostles, Peter does not say that Jesus was crucified, but 'hung on a tree' … Adonis was known as 'He on the tree'. In the Mysteries of Dionysus, a large bearded mask representing the godman was hung on a pole … the two thieves … They represented the Higher Self and lower self … Perhaps initiates of the Mysteries of Dionysus built on the image of 'the just man crucified' suggested by Plato in order to bring about the development of the myth? Or perhaps Plato was referring to an already existing secret myth of initiation in which the godman was crucified? In a chapter of one of his books actually entitled 'Plato's Doctrine of the Cross' … had centuries earlier taught the doctrine that the 'Son of God' was 'placed crosswise in the universe'. The cross was a sacred symbol to the ancients. Its four arms represented the four elements of the physical world - earth, water, air and fire. The fifth element, spirit, was bound to materiality by these four elements. The figure of a man nailed to a four-armed cross would, therefore naturally have signified the predicament of the initiate as a soul bound to a physical body. Plato refers to the desires of the body as nails that one by one fasten the soul to the body … It seems incredible that Osiris-Dionysus could have portrayed as meeting exactly the same death as Jesus, but this is what the evidence suggests. … One modern scholar describes this cross as 'an intimation of the child's ultimately tragic fate … It is remarkable that we have no representations of the crucified Jesus before the fifth century CE. Freke T. & Gandy P. The Jesus Mysteries, 2000, Thorsons
The download ends with the symbol MYTHS s[13] in the position of possible outcome. We have created an unsustainable lifestyle based on myths that must be exposed.
The Technological Society: Even if he is unaware of it, the average man preserves in his collective consciousness the obscure feeling that he has been duped. All myths directly or indirectly go back to the myth of ; and the technical productivity man is witnessing seems to have spurred a proliferation of myths … the enormous technical progress of the modern world. This progress restores to man the supernatural world from which he has been severed, an incomprehensible world but one which he himself has made, a world full of promises that he knows can be realized and of which he is potentially the master. He is seized by sacred delirium when he sees the shining track of a supersonic jet … He projects this delirium into the myth through which he can control, explain, direct, and justify his actions … and his new slavery … economists … Technique is for them, too, the only means of abundance and leisure … the qualitative nature of life. If a whole people is oriented toward the search for justice or purity, if it obeys in depth he primacy of the spiritual, it does not suffer from a lack of material things … We cannot say with assurance that there has been progress from 1250 ,,, in doing so we would comparing things which are not comparable … it is advisable to limit ourselves … For modern man with his peculiar orientation - which has material possessions and "stomach" as the central values - the period of great hopes indeed arrived … Modern man never asks himself what he will have to pay for his power. Ellul J. The Technological Society, 1964, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc.
