Original Date: 15 Jan 1997 22:21:56 -0500 Hierarchy of Manifestation; Mastery Here you are - on earth. How can you live a miraculous life in a place like this? What do you have to work with? The most obvious resources are your physical, mental, and emotional bodies. (We only have one body, and each part influences the others. Looking at the parts individually, though, can increase our understanding of how the whole functions.) We won't involve the astral and spiritual bodies for two reasons. First, as humans, we can't control the spiritual body. Second, most of us are too busy working on our psychological selves to practice controlling the astral body. This control is the realm of magic. The Bodies The mental body is the aspect that interprets "what's happening." Using information from the other bodies, it constructs a picture of reality - our reality. From this picture, it discerns and draws conclusions. It calculates, predicts, and makes plans. The emotional body is complex. It feels. Our aura is a manifestation of this body. It judges, but doesn't base its conclusions on logic. Instead, the emotional body functions *psychologically*. Usually, it reacts rather than acts. The physical body acts and makes things happen. This biological wonder is the focus and ground point of the other bodies. Each body has a language of its own. While the physical body has "body language," the emotional body communicates in positive and negative tones. Using thoughts, the mental body organizes these messages and tries to make sense out of them. If it fails, the person becomes dysfunctional. Hierarchy The Mental Body Which of these bodies is the most creative force? Some schools of thought believe that ideas are the most powerful. They claim that you can manifest anything just by thinking about it. Without an idea, nothing will manifest. If we keep a clear mind, we can easily test this theory. Buy a lottery ticket (if your religion allows it). Through the week, think, "I will win the lottery." Theoretically, you should win; the odds, however, are still very much against you. Similarly, try thinking good or bad thoughts about someone. Chances are, they won't feel it. The results of positive thinking and affirmations aren't very striking. This view is not "negative thinking"; these theories are something anyone can test. (Be honest as you explore.) (Consider an alternate possibility. A friend hands you a lottery ticket. You stuff it in your pocket and forget about it. Next week, you discover that you've won! No thought required!) The Emotional Body The emotional body is different. When it's feeling positive or negative, it radiates a force that other emotional bodies can sense. The impact decreases with distance. (At-a-distance effects and psychic phenomena are the domain of the astral plane.) Interestingly, experience shows that you can send and receive emotions through the media of telephone, and a good actor or actress can send them through film. On the average, this body doesn't produce consistent, accurate predictions. Using the lottery example, maybe you "have the feeling" that you will definitely win. That doesn't guarantee success. A more probable outcome is that you will lose. The Physical Body Lastly, we have the physical body. It knows the basics. It says, Don't hurt me, Feed me, Want mate. A biological miracle, it doesn't care about winning the lottery. Without the physical body buying the ticket (or accepting it from a friend), however, you don't have *any* chance of winning. Here's another example of the physical body's concrete value. Say that you're standing in line at the post office. The man in front of you is not well, mentally. Which of the following events would influence you the most? (1) He *thinks*, "I want to punch this person behind me." (You probably won't notice.) (2) Emotionally, he feels like punching you. (Maybe you pick up "bad vibes.") (3) He turns and angrily shouts, "I want to punch you." (This would alarm you, but you would have a chance to make peace - or run.), or (4) He punches you. (The deed is done.) Not only is action more powerful than words, but it has a greater impact than thought or emotion, as well. Nonetheless, thought and emotion are part of the manifestation process. If the distraught man hadn't thought or felt, "I want to punch someone," then perhaps he wouldn't have acted. These subtle bodies, however, are impotent if the physical body doesn't act on their suggestions. The physical body, however, can produce results - apparently out of coincidence or luck - without the help of a thought or a feeling. Mastery How can you apply this information to living a miraculous life? The magic words are "Do It." Say that you want to travel from point A to point B. You think and feel, "I can't do it." If your physical body believes that, then you'll never make it to point B. Here are some examples of this. "I can never find my Right Livelihood." "I don't deserve a break." "If I'm firm, people will think that I'm mean." "I'm not worthy to live a miraculous life." Say you are trying to meditate, but "important thoughts" keep interrupting your focus. You can either indulge these intrusions - "Well, they are important thoughts" - or you can override the "important thoughts" excuse and continue meditating. A radical alternative to obeying your doubts is to *do it anyway*. Doing this, indirectly you act as the Watcher, that point of consciousness behind the thought. I say indirectly, because if the Watcher were to act, it would no longer be the Watcher. (If you try to catch or identify with this point of consciousness - "Ah, ha! I am the Watcher!" - you create a mental picture of the Watcher. It becomes a thought, something that the Watcher watches. The Watcher is the formless spiritual body. Once you say "I am the Watcher," in that instant, you are not. The Watcher is *always behind and beyond* the thought.) Say you observe yourself thinking about moving to point B. The mental and emotional bodies don't want to go. You say: "I understand that you have your doubts about this move. Now we'll move to point B." The physical body then takes the first step towards the goal. Like this, you transform obstacles - emotional fears and mental doubts - into stepping stones. You gently walk over them. What's the difference between this action and positive thinking? Positive thinking is when we police our thoughts; practitioners fear negative thoughts. As we have seen, just thinking "happy thoughts" won't make us happy. Behaving from the Watcher perspective, you don't fear negative thoughts. Spirit gives you direction. You intuit your direction, and by "suggesting" to the universe that it manifests, it does. Mystic principles are at work here, not mental gymnastics. When you exercise this kind of command, you've mastered the "lower bodies." Gaining this ability is a process, during which you may experience periods of melancholy. Once mastered, you embody Divine Will. You become a conscious expression of divinity. This mastery complements living a miraculous life. As Light, we are one.

Still in its infancy, this newsletter is more of an online community and is highly interactive. 02. Dream Recall Basics Some basics and helpful hints for those who don't recall & journal, or those wanting to improve these skills. 03. Dream Techniques From Freud - Free Association & the Unconscious Since my interest is not in teaching psychotherapy but in tapping into each individuals own source of (a. Creativity and (b. Inner authority on meaning and value my approach is historic and playful, seeking in Freud want can be used as viewpoints to engage dream imagery. Some basic ideas are needed for this. Week 2 04. Dream Techniques From Freud - The Dream-Work + References Freud's model for dreaming is still so highly referenced in academic and clinical thought that I felt it was essential to include this a part of an overview on dream theories. Also, as postmodern thinking becomes dominant, it is important to see the psychoanlytic roots and bias that come with it. ---> Dream Lab I insert - DreamSharing via email sign up. This is the core model of online dream sharing groups as brought online by John Herbert and modeled after Montegue Ullman. Groups are done in cooperation with the Electric Dreams community. 05. Ancient Dreams: Dream texts & practices in Early Western Cultures A quick tour of Western Roots and its classical attitudes towards dreams and dreaming. Again, a focus on how to not just see this as abstract information, but rather a doorway into re-combinations allowing novel approaches to dream imagery. Week 3 06. C. G. Jung I. Me and my Shadow. I feel that even a quick foray into Jung yields potent tools in perception and significant relationships with oneself. But its a little odd for many to learn how to approach icky, yucky stuff in dreams as potential gold mines. 07. C. G. Jung II: Beyond & Through the Personal - This essay carries Jungs basic model into contact with the non-personal realms as they relate to dreams and dreaming and extends the idea of what a relationtion ship with the unconsicous might look like and how dreams may mediate this relationship. Week 4 08. Jung III: Archetype & Myth One of the most accessable & popular aspects of Jungian thought and practice evolves from Jung's love of story, fables and myth. Campbell helped bring to the late 20th Century American Culture this love of story and together they offer tools for those of us in love with myth to continue the journey. When combined with dreamwork, the study of myth becomes a study of the journey of ones self as well as The Self. 09. Jung IV: Jung and Dreams Though Jung never wrote a separate book on dreams, there is *so* much material that a special essay is needed to give a general lay of the land. Although Jung felt *each* dream should yield its own new theory, the Jungian have developed a wide array of helpful techniques. While one could spend several lifetimes mastering these techniques, many are accessable right away with a little practice. As a matter of fact, Jung thought dreams were *already* doing what they needed to be doing. We simple help the processes along. Week 5 10.: Other Pre-1960's Dream Theories All is not Jung and easily Freudened! The Surrealist Movement championed dreams as a path away form the deadness of everyday worldviews and a gateway into novel experience and surreality. Phenomenology combined with psychoanalysis to produce ideas about approaching dreams on their own, bracketing out our pre-conceived notions and allowing the imagery to evolve on its own. This essay explores these and other dream movements and theories that haven't gotten as much attention as they deserve. 11.: Perls, Gestalt & Dreams The 1960's brought with it an explosion of new therapies and with them a renewed interest in dreams. None was as popular as the Gestalt movement. While many saw Perls techniques as deriviative of others before him, none can deny that Perls brought dream awareness to millions of Americans and those in the world following the deveopment of the new therapies. This essay expores this history and the relevant techniques that we can use outside of therapy. ---> Dream Lab II insert - DreamLink and other Web sites Week 6 12. Dreambody and Experiential Dreamwork One of the areas that came into the light in the past 30 years in therapy has been the body. This essay looks at two major practitioners who have combined Freud, Jung, Reich, Eastern Practices and phemomenology to produce methods we can use to dialogue with the body. In this, there is a paradigm shift from content to process. The dream becomes then a part of our process that we come into dialogue with. Much of this work can be done outside the theraputic setting. 13. From the Couch to the Culture: Walter Bonime Montague Ullman While the Jungians have always enjoyed working with manifest dream material, the psychoanalytically trained schools have only come to this more recently. Bonime and Ullman were two pioneers in this regard. Bonime shifted the emphasis to the manifest or visable dream and Ullman taught practices and held groups that could work with this material in non-clinical settings. These techniques have become the standard in grassroots dream work and are used by the Association for the Study of Dreams at their conferences for introducing new particpants to group dreamwork. Week 7 14. Grassroots Dream work in America There has been an explosion of regional small dreamgroups in America which now has its own history, journals, mini movements and conflicts. Some of this movement has been organized and part of other social institutions and communities, but the soul of the movement has been the local dream group, usually of a dozen or less people. These are the people tinkering in the garages with techniques that now form a larger body of literature and practices that can be found in popular literature. 15.Lucid Dreaming and Lucid Control One of the popular new offshoots of dreamwork is lucid dreaming, or knowing you are dreaming while you are dreaming and being able to varying degrees to control the events and content of the dream. While clinical practice has not been able to respond adequately to this phenomena (usually siting issues of too much ego control based on old theories of the unconscious)the lucid dreamers have formed groups and organizations to address the particular issues invoved and advance the techniques used to increase the frequency of its occurance. This essay explores the history and give some of the most popular techniques for inducing lucid dreaming and control. ----> Lab III Dreaming on Usenet and IRC While e-mail seems the easiest way to conduct groups, it requires that the participants organize their own notes over a week or two period. Usenet & Web Bulletin Board style approaches are a way of keeping the group's comments and dream texts together are available, but lend themselves to a different mood. IRC or chat room venues allow real time interaction and they too lend themselves to a more emotionally based experience. In this lab we explore some of these other venues. Week 8 16 Dreaming Science Why does a dreamworker need to know anything about dream science? Besides how fascinating it is, and defending yourself against attacks by pseudo-scientific remarks as "Oh, science has shown that all dreaming is just chaotic brain garbage." I would like for you to know how science and imaginative exploration go hand in hand. From the first REM discovery nights in the Chicago labs to the latest debates on neural networks, this essay not only explores the history of empirical findings, but takes a more positive approach and looks at how dream science can aid in dreamwork. 17. Dreaming Anthropology If science is correct, we have been dreaming for as long as we have been mammals, maybe longer. If Campbell and Jung are correct, we have been making meaning from dreams before recorded history. This means that some cultures have been practicing dreamwork for millions of years. This essay explores a general, brief overview of what we know about native cultures and their dream practices. Week 9 18 Alternative Dreaming There is now a wider range of dreaming practices that are being explored besides the the use of dreams for therapy. Some make intentions before going to sleep and incubate dreams. Some find that telepathic powers are increased during dreams. Some people like to meet in their dreams with others at pre-designated places, some like to use dreams for inspiring writing and other arts. Some simply llike to *do* things in dreams, increasing the chances of flying, eating, having sex and going on virtual journeys. James Hillman & the Archetypal school have opened the dream to the culture at large, and soon the postmodern writers & cyberspace will be opening us up to unheard of catagories yet to be explored. This essay explores the alternatives and offers options to our usual egoic efforts that impose uses on dreams. Yes, even "being open" is an imposed paradigm. 19. Final notes & resources on Dreams and Dreaming One of the more fun parts of the Networking is the chance to see what others are doing and have them see what you are doing. But even more than *seeing* is being. It is not just an information exchange but a living interconnection and chance to see one's place as a microcosm in the macrocosm. In native cultures, the process of initiation took the indivdual and his/her inner light and opened this lantern to the society at large. For several millenium we have lost this in Western Culture as we made the transition from nature bound to technologically bound reality. Changes happen too fast. Parents can no longer initiate children into their society, because by the time they could, it is gone. Seeking all the answers in the paradigm of "out there somewhere besides nature" has led to ecological disaster and tecnological horror. But as with ancient initiations, an element of this transformation is brought about by the individual seeing his or her own death. As sophisticated moderns, we see this death as symbolic, but fail to see that its now not so much just an individual trip as a collective journey. Our culture has seen it's own death in the bomb and pollution and lose of traditional values. But like the ancient initiation, we don't really die. Apocalypic theories will continue but they error in literalizing the death of the world. Its simply the death of the modern world. I see two factors emerging in the modern world that I want to bring forward into the post-modern. The first is the inner relationship and the other is the outer relationship. The inner relationship can be mediated by dreamwork, bodywork, and meditation practices (not literally inner, but a sense that there is value in what we have, the subtlites of *this* moment and not just what we can get from Otherness), and the outer relationship with forms the community and can be mediated by regional and neighborhood organizations and can be mediated globally via the Net and what is surely to be later, more extensive, and faster manifestations of the Internet. The inner work provides the access to the individual and the unique and the outer work allows this individuality to unfold and be initiated in the multiple fields of social & cultural practice. In this sense, Dreamwork in Cyberspace provides a model & practice for profound and diverse developments in the 21st Century, which see nature & technology in new ecologies as inter-dependent friends and assitants. This final essay is more a call to the reader to allow the community to support your individuality by offering the resources we have developed and finding mutually suportive platforms from which to precede. Reading Reference: Two kinds of Bibliographies will be provided. The first will be the smaller bibliographies that will come with each topic area and the second will be a wider bibliography provided at the end of the class. There are no required readings for the class, as we will use more of a hands-on or interactive approach. However, we do offer suggested reading and highly recommend them as we feel they will deepen your knowledge base and widen the experience, as well as providing alternative perspectives to the bias we carry in the email approach. ================================================ Suggested Readings for Introduction to Dream Sharing On the Net Some Introductory Texts that are available HOWEVER, no books necessary to fully enjoy the class!!!!!!!!!!! ================================================ 1.

He had a lot of enimies and a lot of lies have been spread about him. Who knows? some of the above MIGHT be truthful. ONE THING IS TRUE, HOWEVER---No one man, alive or dead has been USED more by unscrupulous politicians to control and EXPLOIT the "African American" population of this country. Even after his death, Mr. King has been shamelessly evoked by every two bit exploiter trying to grub and "buy" votes and "influence" in the black community. His name has been "milked dry" for all that it is worth. Anyone who opposes the most unsavory, self serving, exploitive politician or would be "leader" who evokes Mr. King's name will be branded a "Racist" or "Uncle Tom"--such is the Power of King's name. --- MailGate 0.25e * Origin: Ask your Fido Feed for I_UFO (1:330/201.1)
