Wisdom From Within

WE ARE DREAMERS IN THE NOW

4/2/2015

 
Being a vivid lucid dreamer by nature, Gammadian often receives powerful messages in his dreams. This is one such dream, which we would like to share with the world so it may inspire all of us on our quest for freedom.

Picture
‘’I was walking along the road in Kensington, it was evening yet I had no sense of continuity. I had so much energy and clarity; I knew I was dreaming, not sure whether I was awake or asleep.
I bounded up from the payment in a leap. I was flying looking down at London. I intended to meet up with other dreamers, I could feel then see Fabrice, he was at a console doing something, looking at a screen.

At this point someone jumped me, a martial artist dreamer and gymnast. I have dreamed with him before. 
I always enjoy our interaction. The sheer exuberance of him delights. he is an inorganic being, but was once human himself. He is great for guiding me to places and events. Time travel is really easy with this being.
At one point he threw me, jumped over me, grabbed my feet and pulled me. I was traveling really fast and nearly lost consciousness. I was in an underground cave yet it was warm and comfortable. There was gentle effulgence there, so it wasn’t totally dark.
A voice started talking to me. A very poetic and profound voice. I would like to explore what it said by writing. I didn’t waste energy, wondering what it was or where it came from. I just listened, I was spellbound.

The voice said “You are a virus, the ultimate virus, an artist of change. You are becoming, accept and allow this power. You are the dreamer of your reality. Nothing that you see has not been created by you.
You are dreaming by default now, you are a fledgling. Intend your reality. Choose what you perceive. Accept, act and flow, in your power.
You humans though are a strange mixture of the finite and infinite, the personal and impersonal, the concrete and the abstract, you would say inorganic and organic.
Picture

This mixture of the abstract and the concrete is an exploitable condition for you. Inner silence has brought you to into the now, a meeting point, here arises awe at the majesty of being. You are suffused in and pervaded by your own nature. The all, has found unique expression in you. Acquiesce to that abstract imperative and use the concrete to express it, whilst you have this form. With intent, dream, to utilize any form or formlessness, you perceive yourself as, in a spirit of acquiescence to being.
We are dreamers of our own reality. There is nothing that we experience that is not created by us. We are expansive, we are unimaginable. When we take responsibility for our creation then, we become able to command it.
Command the energies you perceive around you. Command fear; tell it, ‘’I was not created for you, but you for me. You are my servant. Be alert and available, warn me when it is appropriate, otherwise just be ready.’’

Any powers that you recognise command them similarly. What human-kind call gods and demons are there for your command. You have the power to dream new worlds, exercise and exploit this power and truly enjoy it.
This is your time, celebrate it moment by moment, this is how the moments roll on as your dream, they gather momentum and volition. Intend your dream.
You are dreamers in the now, your experience of silence and exultation is a seed. Let go of all personal concern. Do not care for results, act because you are inspired and your doing is as nothing.
Go beyond all descriptions. Cast out all conceptions and dream. Reside in your heart, a place of rest and passion. Silence and acceptance embrace you. Allow the opening.
See the play of colours on the screen of your imagination, this is your play. Everything is fluid and malleable. If you find resistance, withdraw and find another way. There is a way to all things and you will be shown everything you need, to facilitate you.
Do not worry, obsess or judge yourselves. Relax - the joy you feel is the joy of every cell as it awakens to discovery. Go deep inside find your intents and flourish.’’

As the voice finished. I set my intent to remember it. I have lost some of the command, poetry and majesty of the voice in my writing, but you get the drift. I saw the dream withdrawing from me.’’

CENTRAL PRACTICES

2/4/2015

 
Central to the knowledge that Carlos Castaneda imparted to his apprentices were the Energy Passes, short cuts to enhanced awareness.

Carlos studied with a group of seers who had a deep interest in perception and its manipulation to enhance their lives. The system they had inherited was a living one that changed with the needs of every generation.

 It has come to us in a modern and functional form, somewhat removed form the ritualistic and secret connotations it had held for generations.
Picture

One of the most notable features of this band of seers was their vitality elegance and prowess in dealing with the world. Carlos inherited a whole system of philosophy that described a world richer and deeper than the one that western education has given us and practices to acquire states elucidated in their teachings.

This knowledge was deeply mystical whilst being profound and pragmatic. The system was divided into two sections for the left and right body. His teachers distinguished between the two sides of man, the abstract, the left body and the linear, the right body.


Their teachings and practices were directed at these two facets of our awareness, our linear mind, the world of our everyday life and the hidden often intuited magical nature that lies behind it, a world of feeling and direct experience.
Carlos spoke of these as two attentions, the first attention, our linear daily world and the second attention the abstract unseen but intuited world, the world of our dreams.
For the first attention their were practices called stalking, the name derived from similar behaviour they used to trap their food. Hunters examine the minutest behaviours and routines of their prey making their actions to trap the animal strategic and effective. This observation of our own routines and habits gives us the tools to trap our behaviour and open ourselves to new behaviour, conscious actions that befit conscious endeavour.
For the second attention there were Dreaming practices. These included the Energy Passes which had been discovered in heightened awareness and systematically collected. Also utilising dreams.



Picture
These seers noted that in dreams we are much more fluid, behaviour not supported in daily reality was possible. They determined to use dreams in a pragmatic way to school and enhance awareness. To this end they mapped the dream world and developed a rich tapestry of practices to take advantage of it. Their intent was to use their individual dreams to enter into other realms, new worlds where they could find sources of knowledge of power. 
They were successful in their endeavours. The energy and focus they acquired in their nocturnal adventures gave them the prowess and fluidity to repeat many wonders of perception in daily life. They called this ability Dreaming Awake.

A third state of being that Carlos wrote about was inner silence a deeply meditative state where new facets of our awareness appeared. This was seen as the highest accomplishment of these seers of this lineage. 
Their deeds come to us in rich tales of sorcery and shamanism.

 For us in this modern world who have a deep interest in both knowing ourself and our environs and enhancing our perception, their practices are invaluable.
These shaman seers acknowledged a conscious force that was unseen yet underlies all creation, they termed this force by its nature, Intent. A force they said that was unknowable yet directly usable by man.


Our intent is to live a full and rewarding life, to overcome our habits, that rob of us energy and divert our resources. This reclaimed energy can then be utilised to take stock of our lives, to detach ourselves from our behaviours and ascertain by examination how we spend our time and energy and whether it supports the life we dream to live.

This training of Energy Passes, Dreaming, Stalking and Inner Silence are at the heart of what we at Being Energy teach in our classes and workshops.

THE GREAT DIVIDE

9/19/2014

 
Picture
There is something we become aware of when we embrace the energy body. It is not how we have been taught or imagined. The energy body is beyond our imagination. We become aware of two primary characteristics of our energy body, it's total freedom and it's fierceness.
When dreaming with a being, I complained that in this reality, I am superb, my awareness is keen, I have a natural sense of appreciation, I feel very good. When I return, I will be subject to so many forces beyond my apparent control.The answer came. Devoid of your petty concerns and fears this is who you are. Here you are fierce there you are angry, here you are sad, there you despair. Here you are joyful in gratitude for no reason at all, except that you can perceive. 

There, things have to conform to an agenda. There, the concerns of others are paramount. Your kind sell yourself for gratification, for attention. In your world you have forgotten who you are.
The comings and goings of your life are immaterial, they have only the importance you give them. Here, you know that, there, you have forgotten. Yet the reason you are here in awareness, is because of the supreme effort and motivation you have for consciousness.
It may not seem the best of actions to put gold in the fire, yet we know that gold becomes purified and those things that are not of it's nature are transformed. Human life, the crucible of your existence is where you recognise your nature and become it, and that which is extraneous to your journey is destroyed and transformed in the fire of your existence.

The exigencies of your life will transform you. Welcome them, they are of your conjuring, specifically designed for exactly what you need.
​

Here you are dreaming and your dream body holds sway. Yet daily life is a dream, your perception of it as an immutable reality, is flawed. You have become overwhelmed by your creation and believe you are subject to it. Awake! You are not constrained by anything but your own imagined feebleness. You are the instigator of what you perceive. Recognise your prowess.

Your dreaming body, your energy body is available to you but not when you doubt. Return to your world. Remember your prowess here, engage with the appearance and accept, but tread lightly.
Picture

Cultivate only immersion in your being and let it blossom. Your time is now, take responsibility for the thoughts and feelings you invite. To share your daily world is something even the highest souls yearn for. This sense of not-knowing is the battlefield that forges impeccable warriors.
Dream well-being, dream allowance, acceptance and acquiescence and you will give yourself to a greater dream. You are called, you have answered. Arise mighty being it is your destiny.

Become yourself, discover your audacity, discover your abandonment, it lies there in the detritus of your life.
You complain, shrink and shirk at what you yourself have created. You are embroiled in it, subject to it you think. An author isn't subject to his prose, why then are you overwhelmed by this that you have penned, that is your life?

The importance you give to things is a learned affair. Drop your attachment to your learning. Many strategies that your species have learned have served them well, yet they are worn. To make the leap into the age that is to be, you have to let go and trust that you have everything you need for this extravagant journey that is your life.

FROM A WHEELCHAIR TO THE STARS

6/20/2014

 
This tale is unbelievable; unbelievable to me who lived it but undeniable and true, so I have found my resolution to tell this extraordinary account of this incident from my life. 
I had complications with TB at the age of 30 so spent many years in a wheel chair, however by the millennium, 15 years later I had progressed to walking on sticks. I was though still in incredible pain and surges of electricity like energy would course down my leg making me scream. I became addicted to painkillers and my curtailed life. 
One night at a party filled with successful witty and charming people that were well disposed towards me I felt so low. It was an ideal party yet I had no energy to take part in it.
I found a room that was empty and turned on the TV. I thought about my wonderful life and how dreadful it had become, where I couldn’t even enjoy an evening with my friends. The pain and my bad humour were unbearable. I reached the lowest point of my life.

After a while I began though to think not of the bad times but of the good years the joy of friends and travel. Particularly I thought of Prem Rawat a man from Haridwar in Uttar Pradesh India whom I had met on my travels who had freely given me a meditation-like practice he called self-knowledge. I remembered how simple yet profound this knowledge was and how good it felt to practice.

It hurt me to think that I had largely stopped it. I knew in that moment that I couldn’t live any longer as I was. I swore to myself that I would practice what I had been shown every day. Although it was not always easy, I did this, and from that day every aspect of my life improved. If there were clouds in my day then I knew that the sun was behind then and the clouds would bring rain to nourish the earth and so me. My cup often half-empty was half-full and filling.
A life with joy and gratitude as its base, blossoms. One day I felt really good and was thinking of starting some gentle exercise. Knowing I couldn’t join a class with my disability, I went to the bookshop to buy a book on tai chi; hoping that in the privacy of my own home I could practice and attain a level that would allow me to train under a teacher later.
Picture

In the bookshop I found a manual on tai chi and then went to explore the other books. I had always been a fan of Carlos Castaneda’s writings about his magical apprenticeship in Mexico. On the shelf I found a book by him, that I hadn’t read, called The Magical Passes subtitled The Practical Wisdom of the Shamans of Ancient Mexico. The book excited me; filled with 
descriptions and pictures of physical exercises it seemed to fill the gap, left by his earlier work. I left with this book and returned the tai chi book to the shelf.
With little energy, in pain and debilitated from my disability it was slow work learning from the book yet it still enticed me and I started to generate a daily practice.

I had a great feeling of energy, optimism and well-being. Practicing these Energy Passes, (www.beingenergy.com) needed a fine sense of balance. I had little balance without my walking sticks. Time and time again I would fall to the floor and have to pick myself up again, yet I continued with it day after day. It was a powerful and re-vitalising process.
I had been practicing daily for 6 months I was falling less, my body was stronger and I was a lot more alert. 
Like every day I meditated eat breakfast and then practiced Energy Passes. By the time I finished I was tingling all over feeling exhilarated.

Sweaty from my exercise I went to the bathroom to shave and bathe. I shaved and before bathing happened to catch my eye in the reflection from a full length mirror. I felt an immediate longing, a deep sense of love and attraction and heightened concentration.

Picture
I tuned into this growing feeling of deep love for myself: In and out of a real yet dream-like state, I slipped. Feeling that something incredible was happening I renewed my attentions. My love and attention drew from the mirror another being, my energy body. For a moment I was horrified. However as the being called by my attention stepped from the mirror I engaged with and became it. I looked at my vacated body staring in the mirror. It was uncomfortable sharing a room with it so I left.

I went into the front room and practiced the Energy Passes I knew. Many more appeared spontaneously and I danced my joy and determination. Never had I felt such power and wonder in my life.I moved with no thought breath by breath soaking up the immediacy of being. A thought came to me after many hours “You have gone mad, do you really think that you have left your body in the bathroom?” With a surge of energy I banished this thought yet after sometime the nagging voice returned and I had to respond by returning to the bathroom. As I walked in I saw my body as I had left it.
My nausea returned and with the nausea fear, panic and religious thoughts of demonic possession. 
A calm loving voice filled me. It told me to calm myself and return to my everyday body as I no longer had the energy to sustain this non-ordinary state of being. Somehow I did return. I was back in my body, I felt drained confused and excited. 
I still did not know the full implications of my experience. Yet it was obvious to me that what we consider reality is only one level of perception: An outer layer dictated by our thoughts.

The next day I visited a neighbour, he offered me a beer which I refused saying with surprise, “I don’t drink alcohol.” He offered me a smoke and I made a similar reply. I was as astounded as him. I realised also that I had walked to his house without my walking sticks.
After my experience I read a lot about this fascinating subject and other similar accounts and got what happened to me in context a little. I was re-vitalised, full of energy which was flowing in a way it hadn’t since childhood. I was optimistic full of appreciation, awe and joy at life.
I was no longer in pain, in fact just the opposite. I had never known it was possible to feel this good. I felt decisive and free. With no need for pain-killing medication I easily stopped using it. My doctor was surprised to see me neither dependant on walking sticks or medication. She said that it was a miracle. 
It has been a long time since I had this magical experience, I have continued with my practices and became a Being Energy teacher. I am deeply grateful for everything and everyone including my own effort that has made it possible.
