One of the joys, when I visited my parents in NM (that is, after my mom returned from her rush trip to the hospital to acquire the 2nd stent in 2 mos) was to discover that my mom is really into this book. She's on her 3rd reading of a book borrowed from a neighbor.

She had downloaded some of the Bill Harris programs that came out after the Oprah class. She had trouble becoming part of the Oprah webclass series (I shared that I had done all of it and much of the content is here but still unfinished). I showed her how to get transcripts. I offered to load her my iPod - which remains fully loaded with the classes and the Bill Harris interviews related to them. She seemed to prefer just having the written transcript (I have all of them and they are a great resource).

It was my mom who originally introduced me to Science of Mind by pointing to a shelf full of magazines in her home, during a difficult time in my life (I was only in my 20s). Truly, she probably didn't know what to do with me - I was way out in lah-lah land, mostly driven by a sincere desire for spiritual growth and no guidance in pursuing such. She said, "Just open a magazine to any page, it will help you".

Someone recently told me I come from a genetic line of healers. That may be so. I know I come from a line of spiritually motivated women - my mom being a genetic link but as an orphan, who knows what her line is/was?

Re: A New Earth - Eckhart Tolle (New Course/New Teachers)

http://yhd52754.gaia.com — Sat, 31 May 2008 15:34:28 GMT

A friend of mine forwarded this information to me. I thought some of you, who have been following along here, would also be interested. I've signed up and will be incorporating it into our class/course here as time permits.

The information follows -

I'd like to invite you to experience, as my gift to you, a FREE online course I've reated.Mastering Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now.

So many people have told me that they loved Eckhart Tolle's books (The Power of Now and A New Earth) and his online presentations with Oprah, but have had trouble actually PRACTICING (and in some cases, understanding) what Tolle talks about.

To solve that problem, I decided to get together several of the most amazing awakened teachers I know to help you understand what Tolle is talking about and help you begin practicing and embodying what he is teaching, right now.

In this FREE course (which you can share with as many people as you want), six world-famous spiritual teachers and I will discuss what you can do right now to experience
the spiritual awakening described by Eckhart Tolle in The Power of Now, A New Earth, and his online lessons with Oprah.

I've chosen teachers who I know embody the awareness Tolle is talking about, and who are masters at teaching it:

* Zen master Genpo Roshi, creator of the Big Mind process, a method for quickly experiencing profound transcendent states of awareness (what Tolle calls Presence) usually taking decades to master.

* Ken Wilber, world-famous philosopher, author, spiritual teacher, and founder of Integral Institute, Integral Life, and the Integral Spiritual Center.

* Renowned spiritual teacher and meditation master, Diane Hamilton.

* Enlightenment teachers, authors, and workshop leaders, Saniel Bonder and Linda Groves-Bonder.

* Sally Kempton, Yoga Journal columnist and one of today's most insightful and experienced teachers of meditation and spiritual growth.

* And me! (Bill Harris of the Centerpointe Research Institute)

Among the many things you'll learn from these amazing teachers:

* The transformational power of the Now and how you can experience it.

* Gettting out of your mind and into the Now.

* What Eckhart Tolle calls Presence, and how to access it.

* Using your body to enter the Now.

* The source of suffering and emotional pain, and how to end it.

* Transforming fear into peace.

* Why Time is an illusion, and how it keeps you from the Now.

* How you can step out of the world of Problems..

* How to free yourself from unhappiness.

* The power of Now and relationships.

* Finding your purpose.

* Plus, keys to awakening Eckhart Tolle didn't mention.

* And much more.

You'll enjoy six weekly 60 to 90 minute audio lessons, one each week for six weeks. Each lesson is an unedited and spontaneous conversation with me and a world-famous
spiritual teacher who embodies and teaches the awakened spiritual awareness Eckhart Tolle discusses in his best-selling books, The Power of Now and A New Earth, and in his
online lessons with Oprah Winfrey.

These lessons contain additional explanation and practical suggestions you can use right now to awaken to who you really are and create a life of happiness and inner peace.

I thought I'd have to charge a significant amount of money for this course, but when the other teachers volunteered their time and expertise, I quickly changed my mind. Oprah has put an enlightened teacher on television in front of millions of people. This is a hugely positive event
in the history of the world.

A way of living that, up to now, has been discussed in just a few subcultures such as Integral Institute, Centerpointe, and a few other communities, is now in full view of popular culture.

This is a huge opportunity for the world--and for you.

I want as many people as possible to experience this information, so I--and the other teachers--are giving this information away, as our gift to the world.

Please don't miss this opportunity to bring The Power of Now into your life. Register for these lessons right away.

You can download them to your iPod or other device, or listen online. You'll also get a handsome transcript of each lesson making it easier to review and master the information
it contains.

As you'll soon discover, this course is unlike anything else you've ever experienced. You really can live from the place Tolle talks about--the Now moment. When you do, everything changes.

With these six amazing awakened teachers, I want to show you how.

To enroll, and to immediately begin experiencing your first lesson--again, at no charge whatsoever, as our gift to you--just go to: http://www.masteringthepowerofnow.com/.

And please tell EVERYONE you know about this course. Open your address book and send this email to everyone. This is something we really want to spread around the world.

Meenakshi,

Wow, I take Liv52, having done that for a few years, along with another liver support, a Dandelion-Milk Thistle blend plus some Probiotics (I have a good one from Japan) and one more called Super-GI Cleanse. I also have unsweetened Cranberry Juice (Mountain Sun makes a good one without grape or apple juice) diluted with water to which I add SweetLeaf Stevia which includes Inulin (a soluble fiber) to sweeten it. To this I add one tsp of Yerba Prima Psyllium Husks and a packet of Emergen-Cs. I also drink 2 tbsp of Lemon Juice concentrate in warm water every morning. Beyond that we are totally commited to organic foods. I stay fairly de-toxed but that is not to say some products don't still build up.

I became very aware of my liver due to an infection about 8 yrs ago and quit drinking alcohol entirely. Last year I got very good news of an unprecedented drop (90%) in the infection and I have spent the last year believing in that good news without attachment. I will see my dr (who only monitors, not treats, my condition as I have chosen thus far to co-exist without fear, simply knowing it is there) in a week or two and I hope, without attachment, for - at the least - confirmation that the previous news was valid. I have let "it" know that I am ready to say good-bye and allow it to leave my life, having learned the lessons inherent in it and no longer needing it for that purpose. I appreciate my liver consciously, from time to time, for doing the wonderful work that it does.

Maybe two years or more ago, I embraced a diet called Fat Flush by Anna Louis Gittleman that is very liver conscious and detox oriented and lost 30 lbs. I must admit that I am 10+ up since this last fall when weight went on very quickly, owing I believe to a thyroid related metabolic imbalance. My thyroid was removed almost 30 yrs ago, which I regret but accept - as the best course that was understood at the time but in this day would not be the treatment of choice.

Now Menopause was really not something I experienced very strongly. I remember no more than a handful of hot flashes before I conceived my older son. Due to hormone treatments to allow my 2 late-life pregnancies, as well as nursing each child for 12 mos +, I believe that the symptoms were minimized. When those activities were over, I was fully in asymptomatic Menopause. I take no hormones, have no symptoms, it is pretty much a non-issue that I accept easily. I am also grateful it is so; because I know women for whom it is quite difficult. It is akin to how easy it was for me to stop smoking 25 yrs ago. I just did it and never looked back.

Re: A New Earth - Eckhart Tolle

http://yhd52754.gaia.com — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 15:29:06 GMT

OM,

I love the heck out of you. My life is ever so much more fun with you present in it. I wrote a bit more about this illness in the Class 5 thread but I have to agree with you and I like the idea of it being a physical detox and/or physical "recovery" - the later my take on it. It caught my attention, and those around me, though they did not suspect that I was "faking" it because I certainly wasn't, I was totally flattened. Yet, there was no resistance to that in me in the least. In fact, I was grateful that my circumstances weren't fighting with my desire to simply cocoon. I went very deep inside and interestingly, my mind was totally empty - no thoughts - even the noises from outside could only penetrate momentarily before receeding from my attention entirely.

So, I am happy you have written thus. Yes, I "knew" it was un-ordinary. It started like a cold - runny nose, sneezing, just feeling awful, then the aches and chills started and I thought, oh no, not just a cold, some kind of virus. But then the passage of it was so very quick. It surprised me and my husband and MIL. How could I be so obviously very ill and recover so very quickly?

And yes, I wasn't embarassed about the crying at the theater or bothered over associating the stories emotions with feelings laced with personal details, people I love and care about, perhaps feel some guilt over not being in more contact with. Interestingly, the illness began that very evening. My MIL asking me if I was OK on the way home, a little stuffy which was bothering me, but not what I would have thought another would notice.

I haven't had my daily hike for 3 days and I was wondering if I should do that this morning. You've convinced me that is precisely what I need to do today. I think instead of listening to Tolle's The Power of Now, I'll listen to Kelly Howell's Brain Sync, that always perks me up and I haven't listened to it in a long time.

The downloading challenges? I don't think there is any huge, hidden issue. The technology doesn't quite meet our ability to use it yet. That's all. It will catch up in time. The satelitte company has indicated to me that they are aware that it is deficit but have been unable to negotiate with their satelitte provider increased capacity. We could change companies but there are email address and website hosting issues in play as well.

Re: A New Earth - Eckhart Tolle

http://Meenakshi.gaia.com — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 13:44:51 GMT

Deb, as before--OM speaks as I feel as well- re colds helping you to rid the body of toxins. But she's also brought in points about liver detox that I didn't think of [though am doing it myself with "liver health"- an ayurvedic formulation which is sold in India as Liv52].

I would recommend you reading Dr Christianne Northrup's book on Menopause for the pain body and how to deal with it. On the other hand, perhaps I would not recommend any other book for you right now. One point that sticks out from a talk I heard by Dr N is what I wanted to convey-at every menstrual cycle, our pain body comes up for review; and we need to take time to nurture ourselves, and help to release it. Else it keeps building up till it comes home to roost at our age. [Much resonance there for me!]

Re Download problems--when I can't do something I'm very keen to do, I take it as my guides/higher self trying to get my attention.

Please see what resonates in what follows, and let the rest flow away:

1.Click just once to start a download, then do those breathing exercises that OM suggested, while waiting. Also, clear all thought at that time, with white light, to clear the mind as well. I do it as a bringing in light, as I breathe in, and letting out worry/tension/anxiety/fear etc. at least for 3 breaths; till I can feel: I breathe in light, and breathe out light. You can visualize the breath/light suffusing all your energy bodies while holding the breath, during OM's exercise.

2. If the download refuses to happen, call in guides to help while holding the thought that nothing happens that is not for the highest good. " Thank you guides, for showing me what i don't need to do right now." while breathing out for as long as you can; a deep cleansing breath. The inbreath happens automatically. Perhaps you have already read much of others' words; and need to process or speak with your own voice.

3. This enables you, your essential self, to have the space to look at the pain/fear body that is being loosened from you, ready to be released. When ego looks at the pain body, it is overwhelmed. When the expanded self looks, it is full of compassion, and in that look, the pain body dissolves.

In loving light
Meenakshi

Dear me, Deb, we have to get your immune system in better shape. What the heck is going on? Sometimes of course, it's just being around schoolchildren !!!!!

I've heard Byron Katie say that when something goes "wrong" she gives thanks and regards herself as having been "saved" from some unpleasantness, even if it looks as if there is current unpleasantness. Thus, the packing and shipping incident. You were "saved."

I wouldn't put too much stock in the specifics about what you were fearing or crying about, at the theatre. Your painbody is up for healing, and you are almost certainly re-experiencing OLD pains, as part of their healing process, but attributing them to current situations. this happens often with me.

The important thing is to let the body do what the body needs to do, cry, whatever. I think you are doing that. It is not current "over-emotionality," you are actually releasing, permanently, some old pains. Wonderful !!!!!!!!

I will say I suspect these are not "colds" at all but physical detoxes accompanying the emotional detoxes. The symptoms of detoxing are the same as a cold: runny nose, sore throat, achy, tired, stuffy. Maybe even some skin symptoms. I know all this from loooong personal experience, and having seen these "colds" triggered in people who have received energy healings.

A strong immune system helps even with detox though. My recommendations to hasten detox are:

--as much water as you can stand
--walking, straight and flat though, so that you can swing your elbows as much as possible. This pumps the upper body lymph glands, as well as lower body ones, and that's the system creating the misery, and what you need to focus on, keeping lymph moving.
--a bit of extra protein, vitamin C, and chlorophyll and milk thistle, all of which aid the liver to detox.
--Avoid hard-to-digest foods, or any foods you are sensitive to, and avoid as many chemicals as you can, for the duration
--Deep breathing, including yogic cleansing breaths: deeply in to the max, hold, deeply out to the max.

Based on my interpretations, that's what I recommend.

I dunno about the downloading challenges. Nothing to offer about that, as of now. Sometimes we do seem to arrange for tests of our patience or equanimity/unconditional peace, mebbe that is relevant.

Love, OM

Re: Suffering

http://yhd52754.gaia.com — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 15:22:31 GMT

It is interesting that in the Class/Chapter # 5 regarding the pain body, I find myself suffering much. First, there is this ludicrious, okay I think it is anyway, policy of Earthlink, our satelitte access provider, to limit our access for downloads. This means it is impossible to EVER download a single Class except between the hours of 3-6am (during which time we are allowed this brief window for unlimited access).

I know only too well because I exceeded it with the very first class and my fumbling attempts as a new iPod user to get a download (which caused at times 3 downloads - audio, video and iPod - to attempt simultaneously). This lack of understanding and technical skill; impaired the upgrade of our computer system, which required many downloads, all of which went incredibly slow because of restricted access, caused in part by my participation in the A New Earth class. On Tues night, I set up the download for Class 5 (snippets of which I had watched real time on Mon night, tolerating the poor quality). I had thought I would listen to it, while driving my MIL home from St Louis last night, as she usually dozes (though last night she stayed awake the whole way).

So, I started it during the night, not wanting to shut down our satelitte access for our business. The penalty for exceeding is restricted speed, which messes up all kinds of functions. In the morning, I saw the download was complete. However, for reasons beyond me as a novice with an iPod, it failed to synchronize and disappeared from availability on my iTunes window. Determined to have it for the 2 hr drive home, I threw all caution to the wind and tried to download at 8am anyway. Just over half-way through, Earthlink shut down our access for exceeding the limit and our business could not even complete an international Fed-Ex shipment because of it (which anyway, turned out to be improperly packaged and should not have been shipped, when I was trying unsuccessfully to do so). The difficulties with Fed-Ex caused me to run late in getting away and so, my partner told me just to drop trying and then, he discovered the problem with the packing himself. Still, I left the office feeling very depressed for having been so self-centered and without the Class 5 download I had hoped to have.

Unbelievably, we arrived at the theater early. During the performance of Ella (about Ella Fitzgerald), I was moved by the issues of her infertility and relationship with her sister, who died young of a heart attack. My thinking mind began to dwell on losing my own sisters and then jumped to how would I ever cope with the loss of [a] my husband and necessary business partner, how could I ever pick up the pieces? or keep the business going without him?, to [b] the possibility of my whole life being turned upside down by the loss of husband and sons in some tragic accident.

Wow, I was sobbing throughout the second half of the performance. Is this what happens as we become aware of the Ego? When I tried to call my husband at 8pm to tell him we were headed home, I got no answer. My mind was having difficulty removing fears that something had happened to them because I knew they were traveling to a contractor's facility 1 hr away on a 2 lane curvy road. Finally, at around 9:30pm, I reached them and felt foolish for the worry.

So, at 2:45am this, I drug myself out of bed to start the download again. At 90% complete, an error occured and the download failed. I knew better than to try it again this morning. It will have to wait for tonight. Anyway, I am needing to read Chap 6 (yesterday, at Whole Foods in St Louis, I also bought The Power of Now book to go with the unabridged CD version I've been listening to). I feel a cold coming on top of one that I haven't entirely recovered from and have had too little sleep all week.

Wow ! ! !

Oh thanks so much Deb for the access info to the music. I am a complete illiterate about getting music from the web, but I think my nephew or my Twin Flame can coach me and this might just be the kick in the pants to get me going into that learning curve....

Actually I have no idea what my spirit desires from the "on Oprah" bit. I was just teasing about the Harbinger. Then again, my book on the evolution of sexuality-consciousness has a lot of popular potential, even though a somewhat esoteric even academic book.....

You said
what I sensed as soaring free and everywhere present on the morning of my FILs death was this eternal spirit embodied as what Eckhart calls the inner body, an energy form that is our individuation of the Divine one source of all that is...

Exactly. Exactly my sensory-perceptual-conceptual experience of it, moment to moment. And pretty much exactly what my Tantric work aims at making accessible to people. I conceptualize that the "inner body" is simply a slower vibration of, or a denser condensation of, the "free and everywhere" spirit-energy-consciousness. Thank you for your beautiful worded description of the relationship.

Tantra is far vaster in scope of teachings, practices, and possible experiences than ecstatic dancing, but includes some of the aspects of such dancing... And my own version of Tantra is somewhat divergent or heretical.... sigh. I never buy anything without custom-fitting it, apparently.... LOL !!!!

Enjoyed traveling "with" you on your frog experiences. Made me smile....

Hugs, OM

OM,

I forgot to answer this ?

"I can't wait to get access to this music. sounds like it needs to be put on Repeat somehow. Do you know who the composer is? Is it someone we would recognize?"

From Oprah.com -

". . . the theme music used in our New Earth webcasts. "We Are One Earth", the theme for "A New Earth" webcast, is now available as a free download on iTunes and Oprah.com. The song was created specially for Harpo Productions, Inc. by composers Swaynce Pellegrino and Susan C. Trotter. (c) 2008 Harpo Productions, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Enjoy!"

This morning was a mild but pleasant experience. I am now recognizing it as energizing the "inner body" Eckhart is always suggesting we divert our attention towards. I also now recognize what I sensed as soaring free and everywhere present on the morning of my FILs death was this eternal spirit embodied as what Eckhart calls the inner body, an energy form that is our individuation of the Divine one source of all that is - even stones and rocks have this conscious energy. That is the reason that my FIL and his death came into my mind the first morning I meditated to the sound of this music.

OM,

It will be a couple of days before I will see it. I just can't stand the quality I get with my connection of the real-time event. So, it will be 3am Wed before I download (due to Satelitte Fair Access policies which allow unlimited use 3-6am). Probably will listen to it on my drive home from St Louis on Wed night, while MIL snoozes.

Wishing you lots of enjoyment and whatever your spirit desires from the experience.

Meenakshi,

I feel a tinge of "guilt" that I haven't been able to stay ahead and do all that I would like. I always listen to the class one time straight through and then I listen a second time and take notes. I haven't been able to finish that part for the last 3 classes but I am thinking this board and it's threads can be completed whenever I am able to do so and I hope those interested will continue to add content and comments as well.

It could definitely go on longer than the Oprah class. I am wondering what the net effect will be 5 or 10 yrs from now. There is no doubt in my mind that there will be one and I am excited to realize I am a very real part of it.

I am also thinking there will be a later The Power of Now thread because the content is very similar but there is some additional content there I haven't found so far in the A New Earth book.

Re: A New Earth - Eckhart Tolle

http://yhd52754.gaia.com — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 04:40:42 GMT

OM,

I've been listening to The Power of Now on CD and Eckhart was talking about this anti-body issue in the part I was listening to today and the religious connections to that.

The second day I listened to this the experience was even more in my body than the first day and without the memories of my FIL. I can only describe it as orgasmic and my breathing actually became accelerated and I thought I wasn't going to be able to bear the sheer energy of it. Music has always worked well for me and I have often incorporated it with conscious metaphysical "work" to raise the vibration and energy higher.

The 3rd and 4th days, I couldn't quite get "there". At first, the thought crossed my mind that I was "trying" too hard to make something happen that had flowed naturally before and so I tried to "let go" of expectation. There may have certainly been an element of that but tonight it occurs to me that my husband and I shared intimate time together just before the music meditation the last 2 days and so that may be a siphoning off factor.

With sexual energy and with spiritual practice, I think of something like the ecstatic dancing of some practices - I'm think Sufi or dervish. I suppose Tantra is in that realm as you indicate, though I'm not well versed in it.

I am glad you wrote about the "whole-body" experience because that is certainly what I had the 2nd time and to a lesser degree the first one that I wrote of.

Deb, your sharing is very moving. I am so thankful that you keep in touch with the classes regularly and keep us informed. I signed on, but have not done so after the first Monday; and your posts keep me reminded.

Let us see what unfolds. Mostly, when I heard Eckhart, or read what you post, I keep going, " Yes, of course!", "Exactly!" and so on.... And I am thrilled at what's happening...

Re: A New Earth - Eckhart Tolle

http://ADLIAC.gaia.com — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 06:26:59 GMT

Thank you for sharing this deeply, Deb. Your description points up why I am a Tantra teacher: true spiritual bliss involves the entire body, no parts left out. Most religions of course are anti-body. But some spiritual teachers describe this whole-body experience. The Bliss is entire-Being, because it is the Bliss of sheer Beingness, not about anything else, "about" Being.

Thank you again. I can't wait to get access to this music. sounds like it needs to be put on Repeat somehow.

Do you know who the composer is? Is it someone we would recognize?

Blessings, OM Bastet

Re: Theme Music Meditation

http://yhd52754.gaia.com — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:52:15 GMT

I posted this on the Oprah message board for A New Earth this morning -

When I downloaded the podcast for Chap 4, I got a beautiful surprise - the theme music for the class.

So, this morning I finished listening to this podcast and decided to spend a few minutes meditating to the music and had the most blissful, almost orgasmic, experience. I felt all the teachings washing through me, I felt the energies of Oprah and Eckhart and of all the students which are scattered over the earth like a web of awakening consciousnesses. I experienced Dmitry's panoramic breathing while keeping my eyes closed and going within.

Suddenly, I was transported back to the feeling I had the gloriously beautiful fall day last Nov when my father-in-law died in his bed at home on the farm where our residences both are located. That morning, I felt his spirit soar as it was freed from the body and was everywhere all at once, in the falling leaves, in my children's joy and laughter, in the Red Cardinal that came to visit us in the "fairy house" of bushes where we sat together being family as my husband and the hospice nurse prepared my father-in-law's body for transport to the medical school that would study the effects the brain tumor had upon him.

And I cried tears of joy to feel that bliss and freedom of being, while yet remaining alive as a human in my own body.

Thank you for sharing this music with us. I intend to do this meditation to your music every morning and will meet you all there in formless consciousness each day.

Class 4 - I decided to log-in just past the hour mark. I wanted to be "counted" in class since I am studying diligently. Quality no better than since it started. Looking forward to downloading podcast tomorrow night. I guess they do count the downloads too.

Oh yeah, the meditation period crossed my mind but I was in the middle of making dinner and my 7 yr old was serenading me with loud suspense music, not conducive to going within. On second thought, a good test at getting away. Just kidding or am I?
