Will Brain Entrainment ever go 'mainstream'?

[Paul_36]

Seems like sound healing technology has made some profound changes in bettering people's lives...yet nothing on Oprah, nothing on 60 minutes, or any major news publicity. I feel it's completely worthy of this sort of notority and publicity.

Does anyone feel it's just a matter of time?

This group is my sole support while doing Holosync or asking any 'deeper' questions. I truly appreciate the energy folks put into the posts. I keep my mouth shut about brain wave enhancement CD’S since people already think I’m slightly off center. You’re doing what?

I shared my attending a Pema Chodron retreat with my sister. I thought that would be safe and she might even be interested. I got a lot of big sisterly advice. "You know what happened to those kids in the 70's with that transcendental meditation stuff, right? You know, you could be getting into a cult.". Oh boy! Next time I saw her I was so tempted to get one of those bald scalps at the costume store. I really should have. Lol.

Just as well I don't mention Holosync to others outside my immediate family. Thanks for the feedback on that front. Can't really blame others, though, that is, the way they think. Just four years ago a teacher of my son's brought the class out to the woods to sit in quietude and be one with nature. I didn't know what to make of it. Some other parents were alarmed. Amazing how far I've come in a short period of time. Shift does happen.

Hope this isn't too far off subject but I told someone about HS and they did end up buying the first set of cd's but stopped...they came to me and said they'd done some research and that this brain entrainment stuff has been used experimentally on soldiers and stuff and he was afraid of it....

I don't tell too many people anymore...the funniest reactions I've gotten tho was from someone who did TM and when I told em I did HS (and a little about it) they wouldn't believe a word of it.

Funny you should mention that, FF. When I was at the Chodron retreat I happen to mention Tolle to a few people I was eating with. They never heard or read any of his stuff. One never even heard of him. It was then that I decided that my conversations there were going to stay way clear of H/S.

(good subject, Paul)

From my experience the Reader's Digest answer to Pauls question is fear. Fear is the thing which will keep BWE from ever going mainstream. And fear is the only thing which ever keeps us from doing anything. Otherwise we would have done "it"!

Whatever excuse, explanation or rationalization I want to give for NOT doing something, normally has some sort of fear behind it. Rational or otherwise....

Human nature at it's finest!:-)

In regards to fear, I think Guy Finley's book "the Essential Laws of Fearless Living" is helpful. In radio interviews I've listened to in support of the book, he talks about how living in fear is basically living from the 'old consciousness', the one that's based in the mind, the one where there was, is, and always will be "opposites"...and as long as we operate from here, we'll identify with fearfulness. Basically, 99.9% of the population live in this way.
He then explains the 'new consciousness', the one that not only emcompasses the old consciousness, but recognizes something greater, a consciousness where there ARE no opposites. And where there are no opposites, there is no fear.
The way to get to that new consciousness and actually embody it is simply to recognize when fear is triggered in your life, immediately put our attention onhow we try and rescue ourselves (drugs, sex, alcohol, or the favorite 'more thought', as a few examples) and then watch how the fear eventually falls away.
I dig this man's work!

Fear is the same as being willful...the opposite would to instead be watchful. But i see what you're saying, GWW. In the new consciousness, we're watchful, rather than willful.

[Paul_36]

I just think when a person is 'willful' they are in essense resisting something. For instance, when i'm willful of anything, I'm wanting what I do not presently have (isn't that a form of resistance of what 'is'?) There would be no resisting anything if not for the fear of something else. So, maybe it's best to simply recognize when we're being willful and put our attention on just watching.
As far as 'family of origin' and where the word 'willful' comes from...that I'm not too sure.

In Beaumont and Fletcher's "Sea Voyage," Juletta tells the stout captain and his company, --

_Jul_. Why, slaves, 't is in our power to hang ye.

_Master_. Very likely,

'T is in our powers, then, to be hanged, and scorn ye."

Makes sense to me, WW..
