Feeling that way turns your whole life around; living becomes the act of giving. --Beverly Sills I know this now. Every man gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing yet they give their lives to that little or nothing. One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. And then it is gone. But to sacrifice what you are and live without belief, that's more terrible than dying. --Joan of Arc I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing. --Agatha Christie I live a day at a time. Each day I look for a kernel of excitement. In the morning I say: "What is my exciting thing for today?" Then, I do the day. Don't ask me about tomorrow. --Barbara Jordan (Educom Review) *** You Will Get There by Bill Harris One of the things people worry about as they use the first couple of levels of the program is whether or not "it's really working." We live in an instant society, where everything is push-button fast, and people expect fast results. What is more (as I said in the last issue of Mind Chatter), many of us have tried one thing after another in an attempt to heal our past, balance our lives, and grow emotionally and spiritually, and many of these things have not worked as advertised. Many times people will pay a fairly large amount of money for a certain personal growth approach, get caught up in the enthusiasm and "high" of the moment (especially if there is a group involved, or if their need to be "seen" and cared about is met by the group), but find that 6 months or so later they find themselves still caught in the same emotional problems and suffering they thought they were rid of. These experiences cause people to be much more cautious the next time, and sometimes people (as I said last issue) can become very skeptical. If such a person begins the Centerpointe program, and then after a few weeks "nothing" is happening, it's very easy to begin to doubt: "Another thing that promised the moon but didn't deliver." People will do almost anything to avoid disappointment, especially when it is about something as important to them as healing those parts of them that cause emotional suffering. To get your hopes up and then have them dashed is downright depressing. When people call or write and say "I don't think anything is happening," the first thing we do is ask some questions about their experience. What we invariably find is that a lot is happening, but for some reason it isn't what they thought would or should happen, and for that reason they don't connect it with the program. When we tell them that what they are reporting happens to almost everyone, and has been identified as part of the process people go through as they use the program and as the benefits they are seeking unfold, they usually have an "aha" moment and tend to relax. I just received an email from someone who said the demo cassette (part of the package we send to people who ask for more information) didn't do anything. She then went on to say when she listened she became very cold, and then later she became warm and felt very relaxed. Becoming cold and warm are very distinct symptoms of certain things happening energetically during meditation, and becoming very relaxed is, as you probably know, very common when listening to HolosyncŪ. Yet this person did not connect these events with listening to the demo cassette, even though she described them immediately after saying "nothing" had happened! This just points out how our expectations color what we experience (or think we experience). Our brain filters out information that doesn't correspond to our beliefs and expectations, and sometimes someone else has to alert us to its presence. The other thing to keep in mind is that the kind of deep change created by HolosyncŪ, at least in most cases, doesn't happen overnight. To overcome anger or depression, for instance, requires the healing of whatever led to the anger or depression. This means our unconscious map of reality must change, and we are often very attached to that map because we created it during our childhood in order to feel safe in our family situation. For this reason it can feel VERY unsafe to let something go, even when hanging on to it is causing us a lot of unhappiness. Some people report amazing shifts within a week or two of starting the program. Other people don't notice anything significant for months (notice I said "notice" -- it's not that nothing is happening, it's that for whatever reason, they aren't noticing it). Here is a posting on the Centerpointe Discussion Forum from someone who thought nothing was happening, but later realized quite a lot was happening but for whatever reason he just didn't see it until a critical mass was reached. "I began to feel concerned after using Awakening Prologue for about 3 months without seeing the kinds of changes I was anticipating. Adding to this was the fact that I didn't feel comfortable about ordering the next level with what I felt to be rather minor results. I started taking a hard look at the situation (ok, maybe I was obsessing to a slight degree) and even called Centerpointe for advice. Marc told me not to be concerned and that I was doing fine. I sort of wanted him to tell me that I would definitely see results if I went ahead and ordered the next level. (Strangely enough, I guess I was looking for a "harder sell" to reassure me.) But Centerpointe did no such thing. They told me everyone responds differently to the Holosync stimulus and that I shouldn't really concern myself with timetables (It's not a race.) And they told me NOT to order the next level until I was sure that it was something I felt good about. Hmmmmmm. Not the answer I expected or even wanted. Anyway, I took Marc's advice and stopped fixating on results. I just continued to faithfully listen to Dive and Immersion. In fact, I even forgot about when or even IF I was going to order the next level. I just put it out of my mind. About one and a half months later (i.e., 4 and a half months into AP), the lights went on. All of a sudden I realized that major shifts were taking place in my life: a greater sense of well being and happiness; a feeling of being centered and connected with life; a sense of loving objectivity; a quieting of negative internal dialogue. Even stranger, I realized that these changes were taking place gradually the whole time. However, it took 4.5 months for my consciousness to reach the point where I could recognize what was happening all along. What was the key for me was to "allow things to happen." I tend to be rather analytical in my thinking. When I stopped OVERanalyzing and started allowing, everything fell into place. And boy does it feel good when it clicks. For me, I think that my so-called "analysis" of my progress was, in fact, a form of resistance. I'm now about 4.5 weeks into Level One. And curiously, I'm finding myself starting to analyze the effectiveness of this deeper level. I find myself comparing Level One to my experiences with AP. So, my advice overall is: Keep on listening on!" - Brett R., on the Centerpointe website Discussion Forum I quote Brett's post from the DF (by the way, Brett is now, I believe, in Awakening Level 4) because I want you to understand that deep change takes time, and that you have to keep going, and that it sometimes takes a while for it to be noticed. I fully understand that if you are spending good money on something, and then you begin wondering if it's working, that creates stress and uncertainty. Believe me, I've experienced enough things that didn't work to know exactly what this is like. I was at one time pretty miserable and therefore ready to try just about anything to feel better, and many of the things I tried either didn't work at all or seemed to work for a while -- only to have the same problems resurface within a few weeks or months once the initial high wore off. I often felt scammed by people who promised a lot and then didn't deliver. In fact, my bulls--t indicator still goes off pretty easily. The other thing that's important to understand here is that almost everyone has a picture of what "it's going to be like" when everything comes together, every trauma has been healed, everything is in balance, and everything is humming on all cylinders. I want you to know that in every case, what it's really like is nothing like what you thought it would be like. The results of using the Centerpointe program unfold in stages, and as each shift happens, how you feel, and your new perspective on life and your relationship to the rest of the world, is never anything like what you thought it would be. It is ALWAYS a surprise (which is part of the fun). It is never what you expected. This can cause you, at first, to miss it (eventually, though, the changes become so obvious, and so huge, you can't miss them, but at first they are more subtle and hard to spot for some people). I do what I can to get people to let go of expectations, but it's almost impossible to get people to do that. I say over and over "let whatever happens be okay," but until people get through several levels, they usually don't really know what the heck I'm talking about (though they think they do). But that's the secret: let it unfold at its own pace and in its own way. Then we have some people for whom change is particularly difficult, because they had a childhood (or even an adulthood) that was truly hard, and had to armor themselves in a certain way to make it through in one piece. Interestingly, this does not mean these people were necessarily overtly abused. Many tell us their childhood was "normal" -- even wonderful (ironically, going on and on about how wonderful it was is often a sign that it was anything but wonderful). These people were successful in creating a map of reality as they grew up that allowed them to feel safe and make it through. The problem is, their map of reality is so protective that little can get through, making normal human relations much more difficult, and intimacy very difficult, once they reach adulthood and get out of their family environment. When something as powerful as HolosyncŪ begins to create change in their model of reality, despite the fact that they really want change, they nonetheless resist, at least unconsciously (and sometimes on the conscious level as well). This is because (as I said above) their model of who they are is what kept them safe growing up, and though they don't need that model anymore (and it is, in fact, causing them a lot of suffering once they're out of their family situation), it feels very scary to let it change. This creates tremendous resistance, and resistance creates upheaval and discomfort, which the support we provide is designed to help people learn to "not do". These people can and do experience tremendous change in the program, but they sometimes go through an initial period where they are able to temporarily hold off the changes (which they really want, but their unconscious mind is afraid to allow) before HolosyncŪ breaks through the emotional logjam (which it will eventually -- HolosyncŪ is stronger than our ability to resist). One of the sorrows of administrating this program is that I see people who are really suffering, and who have tried "everything" (and who, quite frankly, remind me of myself when I first started the program), but who fight the program so much they don't at first get the feedback that it's working that would encourage them to continue, and then they want to quit -- sometimes in anger at me as someone they see as just one more person who is trying to scam them. These are the people who have the most to gain from the program, and if they hang on and get over the hump, they experience the most amazing 180 degree changes in their mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Here is a letter, which I have shared before, from someone who resisted like crazy at first, but did continue, and who eventually finished the entire program: "I'm just about to finish Flowering 3 and will soon be moving to Flowering 4, the last level of the program [he finished the program. I'm pretty sure, in 2000]. Many times early into the program I was ready to quit. There were times of frustration, anxiety, times when nothing seemed to be happening, and times when I wanted it all to slow down. "Somehow, I made it through the first three levels. I knew two other people in the program at that time, both were experiencing astounding changes in only a short time. What was MY problem?! I didn't know why it was taking me so long to get things moving. I still don't know why it did other than I had so much internal stubbornness I didn't want to face. "But let me assure you that it doesn't matter to me one bit now. I can see how, to someone who hasn't had the kind of experiences one can have in this program, those testimonials look like pie-in-the-sky promises. But BELIEVE ME - THEY AREN'T! This program has been an absolute lifesaver to me. When I started the program in 1991 I was a mess, literally. I was at least fifty pounds overweight, smoked, hated people in general, hated myself specifically, and basically had no life. "I got into this program on a dare from a friend who said he bet that if I really stuck to it for a month my life would change. He was wrong, it didn't change at all except now I had the tapes to hate along with everything else. I hated the tapes. I hated the support letters. I hated the sound of the rain. "I was ready to send the tapes back and I had them all in the box ready to go. They sat on my desk in my den for a few weeks. After my life went from bad to worse to sheer hell (my wife left me and I got downsized from a very good job all in the same month) I decided to try the tapes for another month, now that I had all that extra time on my hands. Still, not much happened. "I finally got another job about four months later. By then the tapes had become a habit and I really had forgotten why I was using them. I just figured it was groovy to say I "meditated". As I already said, I had lots of UPS and lots of DOWNS. "But I can tell you at least from my own experience that this program, more than anything else in my entire 55 year old life, has made the most positive difference. I shudder to think what my life today would have been like without this program. Financially, physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally, I am at my prime. I have done things I never thought I could do. I have had relationships I never thought I deserved to have. I have earned a financial security I never thought I would have managed. I feel more blessed than I ever have before. I have more energy than I did when I was 20. My life, while not godly perfect in every which way, is a happy, healthy, and exciting one. "Take it from someone who isn't sitting around wondering what the program might be like or whether the next level is worth it or what might or might not happen in level 2 or 4 or 6. I've done it. I'll complete it in the year 2000. You owe it to yourself to stick with this program. It costs a lot of money. It takes a lot of time. But I DARE YOU to use this program for a year and tell me then that it wasn't worth twice the money and twice the time. Take a deep breath, dive in, just do it." Richard W. This article is partly my attempt to reassure you that regardless of whether it seems like something is happening, a LOT is happening, and if you keep going, it will all come to you: happiness, inner peace, self-awareness, inner balance, a clear and productive mind, lower stress, a greater connection to God and the rest of the universe, and a lot more. It is not necessary to live with trauma and unhappiness, regardless of your past or what things are like for you right now. I was miserable for nearly 40 years and I can't adequately describe what it's like to have all of that be a distant memory (when it used to be a daily event). I will tell you that it's worth it to go through what's necessary to get to the goal, and it WILL happen if you continue with the program. Be patient, and take it one step at a time. You will get there. Be well. Bill Harris, Director *** Glowing Testimonial of the Month >From the Centerpointe Web site Discussion forum: Best 2 weeks in a long time! Maxxdogg Feb 19, 2001 12:14 AM Well I guess I wasn't paying attention to the last week passing it seemed to go so quick. I had one large dose of H/S when I first got it and got slammed with overwhelm I think? (See earlier post) Somehow I have been using H/S everyday at least once and stress is all but gone...normally when I would be stressed I just kinda zone out and watch it all go by. It's very cool. A few times when I was home and getting a little jumpy I put the headphones on and next thing I know I'm taking nice easy deep breaths and drifting away..I love it and want more. ** Free bonus testimonial: Hello Bill, I want to share with you how wonderful Nancy is. After I spoke to her the last time, I felt good -- for hours afterwards. Half-an-hour after I spoke to her, I became aware that I felt as good as while we talking on the phone. An hour later, I still felt good. That is incredible! I so enjoyed talking to her. It's like I was connected to her energy & she was/is connected to "Source Energy". What a lovely, lovely lady. She helped me! I felt a release while talking to her. She understood everything I discussed. I didn't feel defensive, I didn't have to deal with guilt & justify my feelings. Bill, you have a great organization & a wonderful group of people there. Florida Sunshine Girl, Marija ** This is your lucky day: second free bonus testimonial: Judy W. Date: 20 June 2001 I began the program May 9, 2001 with the Dive, and continued that daily for about three weeks. For the most part, I enjoyed the Dive. I found the best time for me was first thing in the morning--fewer distractions. The first few days, I experienced some physical chilling during the tapes. The next few days, I had the kind of psychosomatic stomach pains I had as a child when I wanted to be picked up early from school. They soon ended, although I still experience occasional chilling, or its opposite, something like a hot flash, with sweating and heart pounding. I gained some insights into my relationships with my mother, my deceased father, and my ex-husband and lovers. I hope to continue working on the clingy, self-defeating part of me that sabotages relationships. I have always had a mild case of claustrophobia, and was surprised to find myself on a caving expedition with my sweetheart, with no qualms. I have also noticed a surprising awakening of an entrepreneurial side, which I did not know I had in me. When I moved into the first Immersion level, I was bored and disappointed at the lack of "pretty" sounds to go with the rain sounds. I e-mailed and later called, sure there was something wrong with my tape. When I was reassured that the rain was all there was, I made an effort to overcome my boredom. I don't find it easy to take the entire hour needed to use both tapes, but I persist. I have also tried the bonuses, the Health, Quietude, and Oasis. I play "Making Change Easy" in the office, since we have a new boss arriving soon, it can't hurt! The day-to-day result of these efforts has been a more frequent habit of happiness. Happiness used to be the exception, a handful of days per decade. Now happiness is almost my constant companion. It seems as if I have always had this habit, except that this exercise forces me to recall that it is consistent with my use of these tapes. I used to have a habit of being in a "frazzled" state. Now I am no longer "scattered, smothered, and covered." Judy W. by email *** Book Review by Marc Gilson Autobiography of a Yogi By Paramahansa Yogananda 1946, 1974, 1998 Self Realization Fellowship In the fall of 1945, Paramahansa Yogananda put down his pen after many months of writing and said, "All done; it is finished. This book will change the lives of millions. It will be my messenger when I am gone." When "Autobiography of a Yogi" was published in 1946, no one but Yogananda himself seemed confident that anyone in the west would appreciate it, let alone bother to read it. Yet as with so many other aspects of Yogananda's life, uncertainty was nothing but an opportunity for the strength of his faith to be tested and proved. His faith in the success of the book has been borne out long after his passing in 1952. The book has sold millions worldwide, has remained on best-seller lists for over 50 years, and has been translated into 18 languages. It is considered by many to be one of the most influential books ever written. Since Yogananda's birth in 1893, he has become known as one of the preeminent spiritual figures of our time. And for many spiritual seekers, Yogananda's "Autobiography" has become not merely a classic piece of literature, but also a kind of sacred scripture in its own right. "Autobiography" is a landmark book. It stands as one of the first major exposures of Indian life and spirituality to the west. It demystified many of the aspects of Indian life and spiritual philosophy. Many critics today credit the book for igniting the current interest in Yoga in the west. And Yogananda himself, more than any one person, has embodied the virtues of the Yogic path for this and future generations. While the ideas and concepts of Yoga are still somewhat foreign to many westerners, Yoganada seems imbued with a gift of communicating these ideas in a way that speaks directly to the heart. Even readers who are skeptical or uncomfortable with ideas like Yogis, "levitating saints," and other aspects of spirituality outside the Judeo-Christian tradition will find that Yoganandas message engages the reader regardless of their respective spiritual heritage. One need not see Yogananda as a proselytizer of any specific set of beliefs, but rather as a voice for change and hope; something near and dear to the hearts of Centerpointe Participants. Many readers may not be aware that Yogananda actually wrote over a dozen books. But it is "Autobiography" that has distinguished him as a true emissary of spiritual wisdom. As he predicted in 1945, "Autobiography" has been his messenger, as well as his legacy. The book itself is essentially a chronicle of his life, from his boyhood in Northeastern India, through the adventures of his youth in Calcutta and as student and apprentice to his beloved teacher Sri Yukteswar, and eventually to America as Yoga's greatest ambassador to the west. "Autobiography" reflects not only the specifics of Indian beliefs, but also manages to explain the underlying connections between these and western beliefs. To some degree, Yogananda achieves a kind of marriage between east and west, and shows that beneath the cultural differences run currents of common universal truths. Through the early stages of the book the reader is treated to numerous enchanting and amusing stories of the young Mukunda (before being given the name Paramahansa Yogananda), many of which are suggestive of his future emergence as a spiritual adept. His visits to several of the fascinating gurus and sages in India are captivating to say the least. He frequently witnesses the effects of the advanced ascetic life practiced by spiritual masters in several delightful and amazing stories. Mukunda is in most respects a normal Indian youth. He has a distant but caring father, kind-hearted mother, an over-bearing older brother, and a sister who he enjoys bantering with. But beyond the normalcy of his home life, Mukunda's deepest desires are to serve God. Throughout the book, his faith in God is challenged through both outer events and inner struggles. And while at times almost recklessly faithful, his faith is upheld and answered time and again by the powers of the spiritual laws he explains throughout the book. The concepts of devotion, faith, hope, and diligence are clearly threaded through the book, and take on very tangible forms as Yogananda tells of his life. Although initially his family is not entirely supportive of his insistent drive toward the ascetic life, young Mukunda is unwavering in his faith. He eventually wins the approval of his family through various miraculous events which compel them to acknowledge his obvious destiny. When Mukunda meets his guru, Sri Yukteswar, in Banares, his life is changed forever, and the next major phase of his life begins. Through his study and devotion to Sri Yukteswar, Mukunda becomes Paramahansa Yogananda, and learns countless lessons regarding Yogic philosophy, and life (and death). Yogananda's relationship with his guru, and specifically the depth of his devotion to Yukteswar, may be the only aspect of the book to challenge the understanding of some westerners. But through the account in "Autobiography" we learn a great deal about the intensity and uniqueness of the guru/student dynamic. Yogananda's arrival in America as an emissary of Yoga, Sri Yukteswar and perhaps more importantly, of love and compassion, is a fascinating account of mixing cultures and beliefs. His establishment of the Self Realization Fellowship in 1920 and his work in America constitute the final stages of his life and the completion of his earthly mission. The book itself is much more than the history of one man. Through its pages, the reader finds a well-presented explanation of Yoga as well as considerable insight into the spiritual truths of Indian philosophy. This information is often presented within the context of various anecdotal stories from Yogananda's life and thus take on a highly enjoyable "down-to-earth" flavor few other such books manage. Yogananda's humor keep him within reach of a broad reading audience, while his concise and penetrating intellect reveal him to be a sophisticated thinker capable of challenging advanced spiritual explorers. For me personally, the most striking aspect of "Autobiography of a Yogi" is the engaging genuineness of the presentation. This book is so absorbing, it's a little like stepping into quicksand; once you start into it there's no going back. Page by page the reader is drawn into an incredible, and yet surprisingly comfortable style of expression. Yogananda makes himself not only known but felt through the pages of the book. And the feeling is that of being in the presence of a true master; one intimately in-touch with both human needs and frailties, as well as with magnificent knowledge and dazzling spiritual understanding. As his life unfolded through my reading of the book, I had the distinct impression of somehow finding myself merging into the story of this amazing person. Indeed, many readers of "Autobiography" have commented on how they feel much more of a kind of participant in the story than an objective reader of the words; as though through the mere reading of the book, the life of the reader blends with the truths expressed by Yogananda over 50 years ago. I have the sense that Yogananda wrote the book with that specific intention. It's extremely rare that such depth of insight into both the human condition and human potential is presented with wit, warmth, and clarity. I can only echo one of the many kudos heaped upon this book: "Šfragments of wisdom so deep that one feels spellbound, permanently moved." - Haagsche Post, Holland And as one reviewer from the India Journal rightly noted of "Autobiography of a Yogi': "Šit is a book that opens the windows of the mind and spirit." "Autobiography of a Yogi" is a beautiful, life-changing work. If you have not read this book, make a point of picking up a copy soon. If you have read it, read it again. I finished my third reading of it only recently, and have found each time to be as fresh and newly inspirational as the first time. **** Announcements: 1.
