001.02   Second Principle of Telepathy

Slowing the Autonomic System  

H = Helen   T = Telepathic Instructor, Pleiades 

H:   What is the next principle?

T:    To become aware that these skills lie dormant, or cannot come to the fore when the autonomic nervous system is dominant.

H:   Please explain.

T:    The autonomic nervous system controls the heart, lungs, breathing -- all of those functions in the human body that operate without the use of the dominant will.

H:   What change is necessary to occur regarding the autonomic nervous system in order for the telepathic skills to function?

T:    The autonomic nervous system is required to become less dominant.

H:   How is that achieved?

T:    By an act of the will.

H:   Is this a procedure that is acquired?

T:   Yes, with practice and by altering the breathing.

H:   Please explain why and how the breath is the dominant player in subduing the autonomic nervous system, so that the telepathic skills may come into focus.  

T:  The breath is the principal driver or energy source.  When the power of the breath is altered in some way, either by being diminished in strength of input and output, or altered in frequency, the autonomic nervous system is altered accordingly.

H:   If the autonomic nervous system and the telepathic state of being are both running at a constant rate of 5, how much would the autonomic nervous system be required to lessen its potential, in order that the telepathic state becomes dominant?

T:    You could assume that the autonomic nervous system must move to number 3.  The telepathic state will then become dominant at 5.

H:   A statement of truth, then, would be that the telepathic state remains constant, and the automatic nervous system is slowed down.

T:    This is a truth.

H:   That seems to be sufficient for the second principle of truth to be aware of in the procedure to acquire telepathic skills.

The Autonomic Nervous System is the involuntary nervous system composed of the sympathetic and parasympath-etic nervous systems. Involuntary means that it works without thought, yet thought can change it! 

The sympathetic system is the stim-ulatory system.  It will increase heart rate, increase the amount of blood the heart pumps with each beat, and dilate the blood vessels to the muscles, heart and lungs while constricting blood vessels to other parts of the body.  It also stimulates breathing by increasing the rate and amount of air taken in with each breath. The parasympathetic system counter-acts some of the above events, but is really not an inhibitory system.  It is responsible for increasing the activity of digestion and metabolism – increasing blood flow and muscular activity in the gut, and increasing some glandular outputs. Both systems are involved in sexual activity. The goal is not to increase the para-sympathetic over the sympathetic, but rather to slow the activity of both.

The organs of the nervous system as a whole include the brain and spinal cord, the nerves, and the specialized sense organs such as the eyes, ears, and skin surface. The system as a whole consists of two principal divisions:

Central Nervous System (CNS) consisting of the brain and spinal cord.

Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) consisting of cranial and spinal nerves. The Peripheral Nervous system (PNS) connects the brain and spinal cord to peripheral structures such as skeletal muscles and the skin surface through nerve pathways. 

The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is a subdivision of the Peripheral Nervous system (PNS) and consists of structures that regulate the body’s automatic or involuntary functions (example: heart rate, contractions of the stomach and intestines, the secretion of chemicals by the glands, etc). 

The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) consists of two divisions: the parasympathetic and the sympathetic.

• The parasympathetic system takes care of the normal day to day functions such as breathing, heart rate and digestion automatically (without conscious thought). 

• The sympathetic system serves as the emergency or stress system controlling the glands and organs during strenuous exercise, strong emotions (such as fear, anger, hate or anxiety) or during a “fight or flight” response. Adrenalin plays a key role in these responses. Both systems work together in synchronicity with no conscious thought.

• The conscious thought of breathing changes it all by slowing these automatic functions down.  

001.02.03 Guided Meditation:  Simple Meditation by Lily Ann 

Meditation is an intensely personal and spiritual experience. The desired purpose of each meditation technique is to channel our awareness into a more positive direction by totally transforming one's state of mind. To meditate is to turn inwards, to concen-trate on the inner self.  Meditation is a conscious, intentional practice. 

There are many forms of meditation, such as chakra meditation, yantra meditation, vipassana meditation and mantra meditation. While the forms of medita-tion vary, they all use concentration techniques, which help us to becoming a witness of our thoughts. The idea is that when the mind is calm, like a lake without any ripples, we experience total peace and empowerment. 

“Meditation brings awareness, harmony and natural order to human life. It awakens the intelligence to make life happy, peaceful and creative.  The awakening of this peaceful intelligence is the benediction of meditation…….” Roy Eugene Davis 

Find a quiet comfortable space where you will not be disturbed. Before you begin the meditation, always be sure to surround yourself with the white light of God. Or you can imagine being in a bubble of light. Call upon God, your angels or masters or guides to protect you. To begin your meditation, sit in a comfortable position either on the floor in a yogic position or in a chair with your back supported. Make sure that your clothing is not too tight. Sit quietly just observing your surroundings with your eyes. Listen to the sounds, allowing your ears to receive.  Feel your muscles beginning to relax. Focus on an object such as the flame of a candle or a blank spot on the wall and notice your body relaxing even more. Allow your eyes to gently close and feel the muscles around the eyes relaxing.

Focus your awareness on your breathing.  Breath-ing is the movement of prana, which is life-force and life-energy which has two polarities, inspir-ation and expiration. Notice that inspiration is cold and expiration is warm. Be aware now of the vibration of cosmic sound.  This sound is the soundless sound of Aum or Om (the sound of the universe). Feel your body beginning to relax even more as you continue to take slow deep breaths through your nose and exhale through your mouth. 

Begin now to focus your awareness on the space above the nose between the eyebrows, the area known as the third eye.  Stay focused on this spot throughout the remainder of the meditation. As you do this, your breathing will take on its own rhythm and you will become less aware of it as you remain focused on the third eye. If thoughts come into your mind, see them as clouds drifting across and out of the head. Maintain your sitting position and relaxed state.  The rest of the journey is yours. 

Do not be concerned if the journey lasts only a few moments.  In time and with practice it will become easier and more natural. 

Set a regular time for your practice without disturbance when you will not be disturbed and discipline yourself to do this.  The benefits far outweigh the regimen.
