How to use Mind-Electronics, the “Frequency Switch”and other altered-state programs Judging from some of the correspondence we’ve received, I realize that many people don’t really understand how to best use mind-electronic programs like The Zapper, The Enhancer, Alpha Wave/Theta Wave, Hypnotic OM, The Altered-State Sound and our latest, The Hypnotic Brain-Bird. A quick explanation: When I use the words trance, hypnosis, meditation or altered state of consciousness, they are different words meaning the same thing. If you’re wide awake in mid-beta consciousness, the cycle-per-second electrical activity of your brain -- converted to beats per minutes -- is about 850 beats per minute. When your consciousness is altered (with electronics or standard hypnosis or meditation techniques) to deep alpha, you slow to about 140 beats per minute. This is the hypnogogic level -- bottom of alpha, top of theta. Deep sleep is the delta range -- mid-range about 30 beats per minute. There is no place else to go. The difference between meditation and hypnosis (commonly called trance), amounts to nothing more than how most people use their time in trance. Writers sitting at the keyboard for long periods go into trance. Distance runners go into trance after running about one mile. People watching TV are often in trance. People who tend to daydream, are often in trance. Anyone who focuses upon what they’re doing to the point that time seems to disappear, is probably in trance. And when in trance, you’ve increased your level of suggestibility by 25 to 200 times. The Enhancer Any of our mind-electronics programs can be used with your eyes open or closed, depending up what you seek to accomplish. But I’ll start with The Enhancer, because it was created to be used with your eyes open. Here’s how I use it: As I am writing the words you’re now reading, the CD is playing in the background, so I’m writing in trance. Because I spend a lot of time at the keyboard, I automatically go into an altered-state when I write, but not as deep and not with the degree of focus I attain when also listening to The Enhancer. Writing like this, alone in my home studio, time literally disappears. I might write all morning without a break and it feels as if only a few minutes have gone by. At this mind level, to some degree, I’ve removed the filters that normally block access to my subconscious mind. This means, I more easily draw upon greater knowledge in my area of focus. The subconscious is a memory bank and contains memories of everything you’ve every said, done or learned. For those accepting metaphysical concepts, another value to writing/creating at this level is the potential of channeling information from more evolved entities on the other side. I usually ask for this kind of help when I want it. But sometimes upon editing my words, I realize I’ve written about a concept I had no conscious knowledge of. I always say a silent “thank you” to whoever may be standing over my shoulder. I also put on The Enhancer when I am painting -- fine-art painting, which is one of my favorite spare-time activities. Most of my paintings are subjective abstracts about spiritual searching, so a little divine inspiration is always welcomed. A few weeks ago, while preparing a talk I was to give at a convention, I studied my words while listening to the CD. And every few minutes, I said out loud, “I quickly memorize all the key points I desire to express.” I was giving myself a strong suggestion while in trance. The suggestion greatly increased mind-programming power. If I were not so experienced at talking in front of groups, I would have added additional phrases such as, “I confidently speak to my audience in a commanding manner. I deliver a flawless performance. I project a commanding presence in front of any audience.” Et cetera. Although The Enhancer was created for eyes-open focus, I’ve also been using it for eyes-closed meditation. I’m an overly-conditioned subject and if at all tired, I can easily drift off into a nap. When meditating with The Enhancer I’m less likely to do this. I should add here that I would normally use The Zapper for a eyes-closed meditation I planned to self-direct. When working with the “I Ching,” tarot cards or a pendulum, put on the CD. At the end of the day, Tara and I tend to curl up on the couches in our living room in front of the fireplace. We read or study and play music or mind-electronics on the stereo. A few nights ago, Tara wondered out loud why I so love a particular era of folk music. So just for the fun of it, I put on The Enhancer and began to work with a pendulum, asking yes and no questions, and used a fan system to obtain answers. The pendulum was twice as responsive as it usually is, probably become my focus was twice as intense. I soon learned of two incarnations in which I enjoyed this music. One of the lifetimes I was already familiar with, while the other I may have purposely avoided examining up until now. One last suggestion: Listen to The Enhancer during any form of sexual experience. The intensity of your focus may greatly enhance the experience. Other People’s Reactions A couple dozen people have written me claiming they use the Enhancer CD while working to both block out distractions and focus concentration. Here are some unusual-use excerpts: A woman at a DMV desk claims she runs a single earplug from the player in her drawer. “I play it low and that sound just lulls me through my day. I can still talk to people, and it helps me cope with the all the crazy cases that come in here,” she said. A man with a small retail store says he plays the CD quietly in the background. “It mellows me out, and when customers come in and ask about items, my sales pitch is phrased with suggestions such as, ‘You really want this, because it makes you feel good.’” (Personally, I don’t think this is karmically acceptable. I wrote back telling him to fully awaken his customers before they went out the door.) An older woman sent us a picture of herself and her cat. “When I play the CD, my cat becomes so mellow, he’s hardly responsive. Is it meant to hypnotize animals?” I had to write her back telling her I didn’t know. The following is a portion on an e-mail I received: “I now put on The Enhancer when it’s time to do something I don’t want to do. The other day I decided it was time to put a big box of photos into photo books -- something I’d been putting off for two years. So I put on the CD, got out the books and photos ... and low and behold, six hours later the job was done and I hardly remember doing it. It was like I disappeared for awhile. No drudgery. I’ve decided the next time my husband goes off on one of his habitual rants, I’ll just put on the CD and disappear again.” The Zapper & All The Other Mind-Electronic Programs Listening to any mind-electronics program will quickly put you into an altered state of consciousness ... or hypnosis if your prefer. You may not realize you’re in trance, but if you can hear the sound, your consciousness will quickly shift. Now, once you’re comfortable, and your eyes are closed, direct yourself to obtain the awareness you desire. • Problem solving: If you’re trying to solve a problem, say to yourself, “I am now open to finding positive ways to resolve my __________ situation. I call out to my guides and masters, and to highly evolved and loving entities who mean me well. Please provide me with ideas and inspirations.” Then quiet your mind. If an idea comes in, note it. Maybe you can keep a tape recorder beside you to speak the idea. If unrelated outside thoughts come in, brush them aside and tell yourself, “I’ll deal with that later.” Then return your concentration to quieting your mind—blanking out all extraneous thoughts, until new inspiration arises. When you’re ready to awaken, count yourself up from one to five and say, “I’m now wide awake and fully alert. If you don’t feel fully awake, splash some water on your face and proceed carefully until you’re returned to full beta-consciousness. • Mind-Programming: Give yourself many different suggestions phrased as if what you desire were already accomplished. Then create mental movies that support the achievement of your goal. See yourself having already done it. You can also condense your desire down to one well-worded sentence, which you repeat over and over as a mantra. After about 15 minutes count yourself up as described in Problem Solving above. • Healing: Proceed as I described in Mind-Programming, but you may also want to manifest energy for a healing release. Vividly imagine a beam of intense, shimmering blue light coming down from the heavens and entering your crown chakra of spirituality on the top of your head. This is the blue healing ray. Visualize the light running down your spine, through the chakra centers, then up into your back and shoulder muscles and on down into your arms ... and eventually into the palms of your hands. Direct the light to concentrate in the palms of your hands, becoming hotter and hotter and hotter. Continue to do this for several minutes, focusing more and more energy into the palms of your hands. Then place your hands upon the area in most need of healing and “RELEASE!” Say it, think it, and feel it. This is a very powerful technique, which becomes more powerful if others are involved with you in the process. Count yourself up as described in Problem Solving. • Past-life regression: Once you’re fully relaxed and at ease, decide what you’d like to explore. You could request to go back to a lifetime influencing your current incarnation, or back to a life in a specific historic period, or back to the cause of something you seek to better understand. Make your desire clear by visually focusing upon it and stating it with silent words. Next, imagine a tunnel to your past and count backwards from five to one -- counting yourself through the tunnel from the present back into the past. On the count of one, step out of the end of the tunnel into the past life. Open to perceiving impressions in the form of fantasy-like visualizations, or an internal voice, a feeling, or simply an inner knowing. Be open to any and all forms of perceptions. Know too that you’ll feel like you’re making it up. Everyone feels that they are making up their past-life impressions .... including me. But you will be making up real things. Count yourself up as described in Problem Solving. • Remote viewing: Once you’re relaxed and at ease, begin to visualize the person you’d like to view. Capture their essence in your mind -- how they look, how they move, the sound of their voice ... everything. Then if you want to connect, say, “I now want to perceive information about where ______ is, what he’s doing, how he’s feeling, etc.” Be open to everything that comes in -- every thought, feeling and emotion. The more you practice, the better you get. (Note: some people, like my wife and I, who often sense this kind of probing, set up barriers to block it.) Awaken as described in Problem Solving. • Chakra-Connection: A chakra connection between two people doing psychic explorations will greatly enhance the telepathic tie. If two people are working together, one of you can say out loud, “We are now going to visualize a crown-chakra connection, by both vividly imagining an intense violet light emanating from the top of our heads. The light arches up and across, forming an arch that connects the tops of our heads. (pause) The connection is now complete, and it’s time to visualize the next chakra. (proceed through the third-eye brow chakra -- indigo blue, throat chakra -- silver blue, and heart chakra -- golden. With practice, many people are capable of perceiving identical impressions, emotions or regression experiences in an altered state of consciousness. For further ideas on chakra linking combined with past-life exploration see the story “Ultra Depth” in my book, New Age Short Stories. The Frequency Switch Dennis Johnson of St. Paul, MN wrote to tell me of his reaction to group use of the “Frequency Switch” (the second of three sessions on “3 Altered-State Experiments” -- RB204 -- $20) “My wife and I often get together with others to explore metaphysically on our own. Sometimes we use your CDs. Last Saturday night, eight of us laid down in the center of our living room with our heads touching. From above we would have looked like the spokes of a wagon wheel. Then we put on the CD. “Everyone perceived an alternate world, which was certainly an e-ride in itself. But what seemed to really add validity, was the fact that three of us went to exactly the same world -- a place where the people looked just like us, but with very different clothing and hairdos. They lived primarily beneath the earth. Homes and complete cities were all beneath the surface and travel was primarily through a tunnel system. We all saw the same huge circular structure in the center of a city. The top third of a building spun around creating a light-show effect. The people on the streets paid no attention to it, and none of us learned the reason for the spinning. Downtown, there were store windows offering merchandise, much as we experience. Vehicles ran on overhead wires, but I couldn’t figure how they were propelled. “Is it possible that one of us was feeding the other two telepathic impressions? A group delusion? Or do you think it was real?” My response: Yes, I think it’s possible that a strong sender could influence others with images. But since I first released a “frequency switch” tape in the early 80s, I’ve been hearing this kind of description. Albert Einstein, his fellow scientists, and many physicists today, believe that other realities exist on other frequencies within our physical space, just as different stations exist on the wave-lengths of a radio dial. Temple of Light Earle McEntire of Memphis, TN wrote of his explorations with The Temple of Light CD: “I love the journey. Each time I listen it’s a little different and I continue to learn from the questions asked by those I contact on the trip from Kathmandu to the temple in the Himalayas. After listening a dozen times, I asked my wife to remain awake and shut off the CD before the awakening at the end of the program. After the chakra initiation, as you instruct, I begin to ask questions and I always receive answers. But I never have enough time to find out all I want to know. So this time, Mary, shut off the CD and played Eternal OM. “I could never get as deep on my own as the level I attain after an hour-plus of exploring the Himalayas. By not awakening, I was able to continue questioning, and most important, to ask the Masters to show me things. AND IT WORKED! I had a tour of the astral planes and they showed me several past lives that explained a lot about my life today.” * * * * * I invite my readers and CD users to send me your own experiences, so I can share them with others.
