Higher Consciousness

Right Alertness/Right Awareness

Those whose mind is well grounded in the Seven Elements of Knowledge, who without clinging to anything rejoice in the freedom from attachment, whose appetites have been conquered, and who are full of Light, they win Nirvana even in this world. (Buddha- The Teachings of the Compassionate Buddha- p.58)

Archetypes

A Zen Master once said "The search for the Buddha nature (Higher Self) is much like riding an ox in search of the ox. "(The Tao of Physics p.111) 

In other words sometimes the most obvious is right in front of us. Because of the simple nature of the obvious, it is often overlooked. Every exchange of energy between human beings on earth is a reflection of the "Archetypal Function" of the Self and its components. The following chart gives us a few ideas to at least begin to see the energy of life in and around us:

Reflections of Archetypal Function in the World View

Self  Quantum Physics - The observer helps create the observed 
Will  Governments - The Will of the people 
Spirit  Religions - The Spiritual Journey of Humanity 
Soul  Philosophy - Ethics - Morals 
Mind  Psychology - The Thinker 
Body  Natural Sciences - Physical Anatomy 

 

Psychological Type Theory

Psychological type theory developed by Dr. Carl G. Yung, a Swiss psychiatrist, (1875-1961) was a major breakthrough in the field Archetypal Function.  He put forth the theory that in normal behavior the mind operates in two modes. He called these two modes Introversion and Extroversion.
 

People who prefer Extroversion tend to focus on the outer world of people and external events. They direct their energy and attention outward and receive energy from external events, experiences, and interactions.

People who prefer Introversion tend to focus on their inner world of ideas and experiences. They direct their energy and attention inward and receive energy from their internal thoughts, feelings, and reflections. (Introduction to Type- fifth edition by Isabel Briggs Myers)
 

He further maintained that these two modes could be experienced by the mind in four ways. These four ways he called Psychological or personality types. The four personality types that he recognized are Sensing, Thinking, Feeling and Intuitive. He also stated that these four types are used in the two modes of Introversion and Extroversion. His personality types are used world wide now even though they are only a partial anatomical representation of Archetypal Function. 

We now know that Introversion is the processing of the Yinward or inner world of Life Energy and that Extroversion is the processing of the outer world world of Life Energy. These two modes can be applied to our total anatomical function which brings about what is know as Archetypal Function.

Reiki

Zones and Reflex Points

The anatomical maps below show the zones as well as the reflex points that are used in a number of healing modalities. Reiki, Zone Therapy, Reflexology, Iridology, Body Electronics and Jin Shin Jyutsu all share a common thread of understanding with the way our anatomy works. Although the information contained in the anatomical maps is basically the same among the different modalities, the  application of the information is slightly different. Reiki energy can be used in conjunction with any modality to both enhance and quicken healing results. 

The Zones

There are ten energy zones in the body. There are Five energy zones on the right side of the body and and five energy zones on the left side of the body. These five energy zones on each side of the body are associated with "The Five Depths of Field" . The five energy zones on the right side of the body connect with the five fingers of the hand and the five toes of the foot on the right side of the body. The five energy zones on the left side of the body connect with the five fingers of the hand and the five toes of the foot on the left side of the body. 

To balance the zones with Reiki is really simple. When working on another person start with the hands and hold the one finger from each hand at the same time and let the Reiki energy flow. Move on to the next set of fingers and so on until you have done them all. 

Example for hands: 

  • hold both #1 thumbs at the same time. Hold the persons' left hand thumb in your right hand and their right hand thumb in your left hand. Let the Reiki energy flow.
  • hold both #2 index fingers at the same time. Hold the persons left hand index finger in your right hand and their right hand index finger in your left hand. Let the Reiki energy flow.
  • hold both #3 fingers at the same time. Hold the persons left hand #3 finger in your right hand and their right #3 finger in your left hand. Let the Reiki energy flow.
  • hold both #4 fingers at the same time. Hold the persons left hand #4 finger in your right hand and their right #4 finger in your left hand. Let the Reiki energy flow.
  • hold both #5 fingers at the same time. Hold the persons left hand #5 finger in your right hand and their right #5 finger in your left hand. Let the Reiki energy flow.
Example for feet:
  • hold both #1 big toes at the same time. Hold the persons' left foot big toe in your right hand and their right foot big toe in your left hand. Let the Reiki energy flow.
  • hold both #2 toes at the same time. Hold the persons left foot #2 toe in your right hand and their right foot #2 toe in your left hand. Let the Reiki energy flow.
  • hold both #3 toes at the same time. Hold the persons left foot #3 toe in your right hand and their right foot  #3 toe in your left hand. Let the Reiki energy flow.
  • hold both #4 toes at the same time. Hold the persons left foot #4 toe in your right hand and their right foot #4 toe in your left hand. Let the Reiki energy flow.
  • hold both #5 toes at the same time. Hold the persons left foot #5 toe in your right hand and their right foot  #5 toe in your left hand. Let the Reiki energy flow.

 The Reflex Points

The reflex points in the hands, feet, eyes and ears are where nerve endings from the different organs come to the surface of the body. In Reiki we use these reflex points to help us receive guidance directly from the body as to where to place the hands in a spot Reiki treatment.  If we are so guided, the reflex points can also be used to send Reiki energy directly to a specific organ through the nerve pathways in the body. It must be remembered that in Reiki we do not diagnose. 

You will have to practice of course to get a feel for working with Reiki on the reflex level, but with a little patience and perseverance, you will learn and understand how it works.

The following are some examples of how to access and use the information in the reflex points.
 

Hands and Feet

The reflex points in the hands and feet are very sensitive. The procedure for the hands and feet is the same. The feet are more sensitive and usually are worked on first. Press on the reflex points with your thumb firmly one at a time. If your find a sore spot or a hard spot (lactic acid crystals) you have found a reflex point that needs work. 

If you find a sore spot, press on it firmly with your thumb and send Reiki for a minute or so or as long as you are guided to. Then place the center of your palm over the reflex point and send more Reiki energy through the reflex point through the nerves to the associated organ. Then lay your hands on the associated organ as in a normal spot treatment. Repeat this procedure on any sore spots or hard spots in the feet or hands.
 

The Ears

The ears are very sensitive. So you must be gentle and use a very light pressure if you use your thumb to work on a specific reflex area. You should work on the feet first and locate the specific areas that need Reiki. If you find a reflex point in the foot that needs work and that reflex point is also found on the ear then and only then gently place the thumb on the reflex point on the ear and hold it there a minute or so as you are guided. Send Reiki during this whole time. Then gently place the center of the palm of your hand over the reflex point in the ear and send Reiki energy.
 

The Eyes

The iris of the eye is the most complex tissue of the body meeting the outside world. The iris is connected to every organ and tissue of the body by way of the brain and nerve system. In this way Nature has provided us with a miniature television screen showing the most remote portions of the body by way of nerve reflex responses. Nerve fibers in the iris respond to changes in body tissues by manifesting a reflex physiology that corresponds to specific tissue changes and locations. (Iridology Simplified page 3- by Bernard Jensen, D.C., Nutritionist)

The rays in the iris of a perfectly healthy person are straight like in the eye illustration- A. If there is any area that needs Reiki it shows up in the rays like in the eye illustration- B. Eye illustration- C shows the reflex areas in the iris. The simple method is this:

Use a magnifying glass and an eye light to look at the iris. Note where there are spots or separations (lesions) in the rays. Look on the iris map and see what reflex is indicated in that area. This organ needs Reiki. To check this information go to the feet and press on the associated reflex area in the foot. If that area is sore you have seen correctly. You can use the foot techniques for working with the reflexes as well as placing your hands on the correct area for a spot treatment and sending Reiki. You can then place the hands over the eyes not touching them and send Reiki through them to the area you are guided to.

There is a lot to reading eyes and some outside study is recommended.

The Four Noble Truths
and
The Tenfold Nature of Divine Love

In  the teachings of the Ascended Masters many parallel lessons can be found. These parallels of information when viewed as a whole bring a deeper understanding of the lessons themselves. A remarkable similarity between the Four Noble Truths and the four parts of the Great Commandment can be seen in the following chart.  

Cross reference comparisons can be found in "The Teachings of The Compassionate Buddha" by E. A. Burtt on pages 27-32 and in "The Bible" in  Matthew ch.22:37-39 and Mark ch. 12:29-31. 

We do know from the accounts in the Aquarian Gospel that the Master Jesus studied the teachings of every land, including the teachings of Buddha, during his travels from the age of 12 to the age of 30. For this reason there are no accounts in the Bible of what he did during this time. He was gone from the area. 

And Jesus said, In every way of earth-life I would walk; in every hall of learning I would sit; the heights that any man has gained, these I would gain; What any man has suffered I would meet, that I may know the grief's, the disappointments and the sore temptations of my brother man; that I may know just how to succor those in need. (Aquarian Gospel Ch.47:12-13)

I. Princess Yasodhara and Gautama Buddha teach that there are Four Noble Truths:

I. Mother Miriam and Yeshua teach that The Great Commandment is this:

II. Separation (from the Creator) is unhappiness.

II. Our Creator is One.

III. Unhappiness is caused by selfish craving.

III. Love Our One Creator.

IV. Selfish craving can be overcome.

IV. Love Our One Creator with all your body, with all your mind, with all your soul, with all your spirit and with all your will, with all your higher self and with all your Sacred Heart.

V. Illusion can be overcome by remembering  The Tenfold Nature of Divine Love, whose steps are:

V. Love your neighbor as you Love Our One Creator,  and yourself.

  1. Right View / Right Attention

 1. Blessed are the poor in Spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. (poor- laborers in Spirit)

  2.  Right Intent /  Right Choice

 2. Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted

  3. Right Speech /  Right Direction

 3. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.

  4.  Right Focus /  Right Posture

 4. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after Righteousness for they shall be filled.

  5.  Right Alertness /  Right Awareness

 5. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy.

  6.  Right Purpose /  Right Reason

 6. Blessed are the Pure in Heart for they shall see God.

  7.  Right Effort /  Right Communication

 7. Blessed are the Peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.

  8.  Right Motivation /  Right Action

 8. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. 

  9.  Right Understanding /  Right Reverence

9. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

10.  Right Relationship /  Right Home

10. You are the salt of the earth: But if the salt looses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then food for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.
