Energy Body Ways

Dean Radin is a scientific psychic researcher who has been working in the field for many years.

His book, The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena, is an excellent work on the current state of scientific psychic research.

The Conscious Universe is a superb overview of what is possible and what has been discovered so far, backed by solid research and clearly explained.  I highly recommend this book and it’s available via Amazon for a very affordable price:

The good news is psi – psi is short for psychic phenomena – is real.  The bad news is that no one is psychic in the way that movies, fiction, or ‘psychic consultants’ advertise themselves to be.  Yet.

One day, however, psychic abilities may become more and more pronounced as we find out more about them.

I will be covering this subject in more detail on this blog later on.  Psychic abilities are the key part of a much larger story involving evolution, humanity, and the esoteric forces that shape history.

Is there spiritual evolution?  I was recently responding to the post  here.

My thoughts were:

Interesting question, but one very hard to determine. Our egos will always get in the way.

One observation I have is that anytime a natural disaster, war, or any form of unexpected death ends up killing people those who survive are being selected for their intuition or luck.

So over time there may be a progress of consciousness based on a subconscious ability among survivors to see into the future or be lucky.

This would take a long time but eventually evolution would select for quantum consciousness, i.e. minds able to transcend space and time.

Evolution looks like it selects for consciousness, specifically quantum consciousness (which would show up as luck).

If this is so can you move more in line with evolution selecting for luck and transcendent mind by using your mind in specific ways?

Two known ways to enhance the mind’s functioning in these ways are 1) meditation and 2) guided imagery type exercises.

So you’re in the right place!

I am going to reveal the single greatest mind exercise ever, the one written about for thousands of years as the key to meditation, enlightenment, and even psychic powers.

This will probably seem entirely too simple.  Nonetheless it is true that this is it.

The key, the secret exercise, is called one-pointed concentration.

In the ancient Yoga sutras one-pointed concentration was written about as the key to achieving relaxation, siddhis (psychic powers), and enlightenment.  Each step along the way leads to the next:  concentration-meditation-samadhi (enlightenment).

Here is how you do it:

First, focus on one thing.  This can really be anything but often people choose a flower, a symbol such as a black circle on a white background, a color such as violet or yellow, or a candle flame.

Keep focusing on it for awhile.  Then close your eyes and hold your attention on it.

At first you will focus and everything will be fine… then you’ll suddenly snap to attention realizing your mind has shot off in another direction altogether, wandering for the last 3 minutes.

Bring your attention back to the object of your attention.  And again hold it there.

Again your mind will wander.

Bring it back.

This is the training.  Train yourself to again and again bring your mind back.

Realistically, just like with sports training you won’t achieve this right away.

Set a timer and start with only a few minutes a day.  Gradually increase the time you spend doing this each day.

Over time you can increase the time you spend on this practice, which will soon lead to a meditative state.

Of course I am making this sound so easy.  Most people will quit in just a few days.

But if you stick with it you will find yourself becoming more and more aware of how your attention is not under your control.  It wanders like a wild, untrained horse.

Train it, have patience, allow it to do what it must (you won’t have any choice anyway), and keep bringing it back.

Over time you will realize you can control your attention. As you control your attention in this specific way you will find you will notice things.

It may seem minor at first but over time your abilities will grow.  You will find you are not plagued by endless, pointless thoughts and worries.

Your body will release beneficial hormones, your mind will clear, and you will be following in what the Yoga sutras say awakens intuitions and insights and psychic powers and enlightenment.

I know, it sounds so simple.  But it is one of the hardest things to do.

So that’s it.   Too easy?  Try it.  It’s all you need to know to become enlightened.

Continuing with our look at art we will be exploring some different aesthetics and both their influences and well as their usefulness for your guided imagery.

These two pieces are from an artist I am largely unfamiliar with.  His name is Dragos Kalajic, also known as Drago.

His work is interesting, especially as it applies to guided imagery and the realms of mind.  Note first the previous piece by Luke Brown, which has a distinctly psychedelic, tryptamine-esque flavor reminiscent of experiences on psychedelic mushrooms, ayahuasca, or other forms of DMT.

Drago, by strong contrast, has a mythic quality, more reminiscent of Olympian astral planes.  Were I to compare and contrast it with psychedelic states of mind I would describe Drago’s work as more like LSD and perhaps some admixture with strong and well-refined hashish or honey oil.   But of course these are only analogies…

Let us examine two of Drago’s pieces.  I am sure they will give you many ideas for your own guided imagery explorations!

This clearly incorporates aspects of Norse mythology.  The many legged horse was Sleipnir, the steed of Odin, who used it to ride about the world at extreme speeds.

Interestingly for students of guided imagery, Sleipner was a shamanic transport of sorts, able to travel not just around the world but also into the underworld as well as through the heavens.  This is a classic motif for astral travel and I think the art shows this quite well.  Note, too, the portal of half-radiant light and the enthusiasm of the horse to get moving through the multiverse.

Here is another piece.

Again, excellent imagery for guided imagery and journeys to mental or Astral planes.  The yellow as a field of color, as a landscape or ground one can walk upon; the interesting floating geometric shapes; the eagle as a shamanic guardian animal as well as potential soul representation as it goes flying; and the winged headband all show shamanic and transcendental powers.

Enjoy these images and use them to evoke your own guided imagery to the higher and more visionary planes!

Now this is cool:  this is visionary, psychedelic, multi-dimensional art.  It’s by Luke Brown and has some overlap stylistically with the art of Alex Grey.

You can buy Luke Brown’s work through his website www.spectraleyes.com.  This is well worth checking out and supporting!

Check out this piece of art:

So deeply visionary and mystical.  Fantastic!
