They shall arise

Books, Poems and Stories, Change is coming, , , , ,

I was just thinking about how people are changing as the consciousness of the planet changes. It reminded me of a poem I read thirty years ago that had given me hope about where we might have been headed. Right now I think we are indeed headed in that direction. Here is the poem.

Mediums – by Walt Whitman  (1819-1892)

They shall arise in the States,

They shall report Nature, laws, physiology, and happiness,
They shall illustrate Democracy and the kosmos,
They shall be alimentive, amative, perceptive,
They shall be complete women and men, their pose brawny and supple,
    their drink water, their blood clean and clear,
They shall fully enjoy materialism and the sight of products, they
    shall enjoy the sight of the beef, lumber, bread-stuffs, of
    Chicago the great city.
They shall train themselves to go in public to become orators and
    oratresses,
Strong and sweet shall their tongues be, poems and materials of
    poems shall come from their lives, they shall be makers and finders,
Of them and of their works shall emerge divine conveyers, to convey gospels,
Characters, events, retrospections, shall be convey’d in gospels,
    trees, animals, waters, shall be convey’d,
Death, the future, the invisible faith, shall all be convey’d.

The end of meditation

Experiences, Spiritual Aids, , , ,

 I have been meditating for 32 years now. I have become happier, more positive and my reaction time is off the scale. Still, it has been a long time between really good spiritual experiences and sometimes it gets old. I therefore decided to try something new. 

It is a program called Centerpointe which uses sounds and music to stretch your consciousness or your mind into new places that you have never been before. There are two dissimilar tones played into each ear. At first the mind can’t recognize any coherency. After a while your mind sorts it out, your brain waves become more coherent and you move on to the next step. These sounds are based on patterns collected from the brainwaves of very powerful meditators. Once your mind accepts one pattern you reach a plateau and then move to the next level. I was intrigued so I thought I would try it.

At first it was less than my meditating experiences. I reached a quiet depth but never went to the place of no thought that I had during meditation. Then today I went away. I was gone for about a half an hour and came back amazed. This was the exact experience I had when I began meditating long ago but which only lasted for a few minutes. Now I am having the same experiences after only a week that last a half an hour. I wasn’t expecting any results but I have read all the testimonials and now I might be a believer. Follow the link to see what others have said. I will keep you posted on what is happening with me over the next few months.
