about 10 years ago my neigbor taught me some intersting things. He taught me the basics of martial arts. He informed me of the 4th state of matter (
which i can't remember the name of for the life of me at the moment). He also taught me about the 7 levels of conciesness (sp). He also explains hwo
it ties into martial arts and life itself.
so here are the instructions he gave me and my experinces with them.
find a spot on a wall or a blank wall (white is easier). focus on that point with a clear mind. breath by counting to 6 on inhale, hold for 3 and
release for 6. this should be doen by the beats of your heart, but if you cannot hear them, just count.
so i did this and it took me awhile. but i was finally able to make the white fade in, but would always loose it quickly. later i got better at
holding it.
next he told me you should see 2 blobs of color at first. as you get better they will become more defined and closer looking to a ying yang. they
will be rotating. one way is mascualine, other is femine. as you become better you will be able to turn this to your desire.
so here is what happened in my social life. I used to be very sympathetic. I used to care for everyone problem's. I used to always get caught up in
fixing them and feeling how they felt. i used to be very emotional, but never afraid of showing them (still knew when to hide them). He explained
that i would absorb some of their negative energy and this was really holding me back from alot in life. well once i learned how to use my "3rd
eye" this stopped. I still feel sorry for people, but now i offer solutions and no more. I have come to the realization that we are all responisble
for our own actions. however i can be empathetic (sympathhy without the negative energy attrition) when needed. I started to notice with my g/f at
the time that i had become fed up with sob stories and such. fed up with excuses for the way life was going for myself. I started to change these
things and focused more on good things than bad (i still have bad habits though ..sigh). This change seemed to have started at the same time i
learned how to see this. I can now do it without the breathing, and without having to fade to white. Its almost on demand now. But i still have not
mastered making rotate one direction or the other. I have mastered my masculaine and femine side though.
he then told me how to get to the 4th level of conciesness. i did it once by the same method, and as he said you will see all colors shooting out
like a prism. Becasue i oly did it once, i was wondering if anyone else has gotten thsi far though this method, and if they could help me continue on
my journey to bettering myself.
A few thigns to mention that go aginst the traditional chakra theories are the energy travels from head to the region between your genitals to the
earth. most seem theories i have read say otherwise or that the chakras need to be opened in the reverse order.
He also taught me that teh 1st level was like inanimate objects and animals. that is why they are physically manifested. The 2nd is us.
He also believed that after the 7th level you would recycle yourself. He made several reference to things like the skin being replaced every 7 days
(not sure if ti true) and other thindgs being recycled or replaced every 7 days.
He also stated he believed in reincarnation because we are put on this concisness to learn soemthing. and if we have not we come back till we learn
it. This kinds explains why the poulation keeps getting bigger here on earth (my own theory).
Another thing mentioned is how the mind can cure any illness. He lent em little book that had several diseases and a prayer to cure them. the lady
who wrote the book discovered that she had cervical cancer. she ate right, and said the parayer she had writen for herself to come to terms with a
rape incident she had much earlier in life. He went on to explain that becasue the spirit was not at peace the body would suffer. He said. " cancer
is the bodies way of breaking down once the mind has". He stated that usually when people lose their business or loved one or soemthing they had
worked so hard to achieve, they usually develop cancer or some other type of illness. He said that by coming to terms with what happened and
accepting it (does not mean you can't do anything about it) you can live longer. I believe this is true as you notice people with wrinkles usually
worry more etc. (physical signs of stresses of teh mind).
One last thing he mentioned was the transfer of energy. He showed me some, but not much. He did state how in martial arts this projected energy can
overcoem an oppenent before the strike even hits.
He had lent me another book as well and said that this was the theory of many ancient cultuers. the book had gold statue of the the indian god on
it.
Unfortunatly being 18 i was too tied up in other things to really take advantage of this. I wish i could have spent more time on the subject, but i
have laerned to accept it. I will find other ways to achieve a better understang though.
tell me what you think
Thanks in advance,
Joe
