Approach your life the way a surfer faces the ocean. I have heard that a surfer must wipe out hundreds of times before ever having a really great ride. But all of those moments of failure teach the rider something about balance—not really something you could write in a book but a feeling, a way of harmonizing with the wave. If you seek this sort of harmony with everything life brings, there can be no failure.

At times, when you are out in the middle of the sea of life, you may feel lonely and afraid. You have no reason to fear, however, if you simply keep connected to the vibrations of the uni¬verse and the source of life. Brain Wave Vibration exists to help you keep connected to the cosmos simply and without much effort.

J. HERE ARE FEW RULES for Brain Wave

Vibration. You will be surprised to discover that with practice you can experience the benefits of the method almost anywhere and in a variety of forms. Although I am offering you some guidelines to get started, Brain Wave Vibration is an exercise that is continually reinventing itself. Ultimately, there may be as many forms as there are practitioners.

As you discover more about your body and its response to vibration, you will likely adjust your practice to suit your particular needs. There are no hard-and-fast rules about the practice of Brain Wave Vibration. But in the meantime, here are some basic guidelines that will help you get off to a good start.

This untapped part of our brain, the intuitive brain, is a central part of what can be uncovered through Brain Wave Vibration. By tapping into this wisdom, you allow your brain to transmit it to all parts of your body for healing and complete happiness. Just as our intuitive brain responds to the vibration level of objects outside ourselves, our bodies respond even more dramatically to the content of our own thoughts.

As I see it, your brain is already designed to help you find health, happiness, and peace. All you have to do is let it.

Has spent many years calibrating levels of consciousness. Various human consciousness states, such as shame, fear, courage, and joy, are assigned various vibratory levels. Each level has corresponding effects on a person’s reality. We all have the potential to move up and down on this scale as our moods, emotions, and attitudes change, but the level to which we habitually return is considered our regular consciousness level.

To determine consciousness levels, Hawkins uses a process called kinesiology, which shows the connection between the body, the brain, and its various states of consciousness. He determines the level of a person or object by testing its effect on human musculature. A lower consciousness level will cause muscle to go weak, while a higher consciousness level will strength¬en the muscle. Even when the subject is not aware of the object used in the test, consciousness levels calculate consistently. For example, if pictures of Mother Teresa and Adolf Hitler are placed in envelopes, the subject will still demonstrate a higher level of consciousness with the first.

Serendipitously, the word mu can also translate as “nothingness.” The state of mu, or nothingness, is achieved during Brain Wave Vibration when the mind is truly empty of thought, and you are able to simply follow the rhythms of life without hesitation. At this point, the boundaries of your body cease to exist, and you may experience a profound sense of oneness—first with the rhythms of your own body and ultimately with the universal rhythms of all life as your sense of separation fades away.

Much of our mythology teaches us that life is about finding our way back to oneness. In Korean traditions, we have the story of Mago, an Earth spirit analogous to Mother Earth in Western society. At one point, humanity was in accord with Mago, and there was a state of perfect peace and harmony. Like in the biblical story of Eden, this paradise was eventually lost as people began to divide themselves.

According to the mythologies of many cultures, humanity once lived harmoniously only to lose this perfect existence. The story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is a familiar example.

Seeking Oneness

When you consider the many different manifestations of spiritual experience in the world, it obviously does no good to debate which one is right. That has been the root of unbelievable amounts of suffering in the world. In fact, in the way I see spirituality, it is quite contradictory to differentiate in this way. It is best rather to focus on the concepts we have in common.

One thing is clear to me: the brain is indeed designed for spiritual experience. It is also clear that such experience does not come from thinking long and hard about the minutiae of theological issues. Rather, it comes from a quieting of the thinking mind so that one mav open up to the mysteries of experience.

To me, it is not a worthwhile question to debate the existence or nonexistence of God. One way or the other, the spiritual realm is beyond the power of the human mind to describe, and as soon as we attempt to put our experience of it into words, we have already shrunken it, regardless of how beautifully we speak.
