Regarding Frank Pfeifenroth’s post on Dec.17, I too question that I haven’t had any of the experiences that others speak of so movingly. I have been listening to Holosync for seven months and while I experiece a disassociative state and it relieves me of the effects of sleepless nights I cannot say that anything much has changed. Perhaps my focus has been heightened so that I can memorize piano music easier but otherwise, I haven’t experienced anything that resembles “increased insight”. I’ve wanted to address this concern to you Bill, but since I didn’t think I would receive a response I refrained from mentioning it.

Best, Lynn

I would still like to hear from you in regards to the practice of Big Mind as it relates to the practice of holosync. In his book Genpo believes one can learn to practice Big Mind on one’s own and in fact should do so. Do you think this Big Mind practice is equal to holosync in terms of growth in happiness and enlightenment? Is it perhaps quicker even than holosync? I think there are many of use that would like to hear you comment on this.

Thanks,
Alan

I am part of the White Plum Asangha. My teacher, Musai, was ordained by Genpo a few years ago enabling him to perform jukai, along with other duties of a priest. I am one of a the first group to receive such. Both of these men studied and knew Taizan Maezumi.

As I said in the letter’s beginning, this is my first time writing you. I have had no reason to write you, until this. Like in the past with Musai, I have seen him in dokusan and have not a question. I am doing my best to live the teachings taught, as with you, Bill. There are just no questions! i have none! This does not worry me or make me think something is wrong with me or you and you and you… I am doing the best i can every moment.

One thing, Bill, I do so respect your awareness of Genpo and so many others along the road of this journey called life and yet more than…
I appreciate what you have done and how you have done it along with several others seemingly unrelated yet not. For me I see the result of so many peoples work, experience, and knowledge over kalpas, almost.

I look forward to meeting both you and Genpo, face-to-face, in February.

It is an honor and a priviledge to be born human.

Our thoughts, feelings and body are gifts, given to us & meant to be our servants, not our masters.

Thoughts (mind) will never get us to Enlightment. As so elegantly presented in the Norse myth of Thor who, alone of all the Norse pantheon of Gods was unable to cross the Rainbow bridge because of his massive size & weight.

Experiences (phenomenology) will never get us to Enlightment. The world is littered with “blissed out” people unable to relate to other humans.

What will get us to Enlightenment?

I

Don’t

Know.

Stimulus is triggered for instance response to any situation in life or to what appears on our daily path. The images that appear during our wake state seem to dominate our actions at the moment of decisions. I have come to the conclusion that people that are violent or commit crimes are controlled by violent images of abusive parents, people, places and things that happened in the pass. So, children watching violent movies or experience real time violent situations at early ages seem to record images corresponding to the events.

Stimulus outside our selves today triggers the images that correspond to our violent or not violent behavior through the course of our lives. These images thus trigger the mind codes, which bring forward our false personalities. A personality is then picked by our mind codes that suit the situation at hand. The personality picked acts like our response to either protect us or hinder us. If our personality we have today is trying to protect us we have a false personality or facemask, which we wear.

We wear different facemasks to suit the occasions for instance we wear a facemask representing a holy good person that satisfies our church doctrines. When we go to work we wear our work facemask personality. Stimulus outside ourselves also representing law and order and government triggers a facemask personality that helps us live in harmony with both entities, which does not represent a real or true personality that fits our mold.

In Buddhism it is explained that we have ten lower worlds and ten higher worlds. If you look at ten negative emotions we come up with the ten lower worlds and ten positive emotions as ten higher worlds. I believe and have proven this to myself from experience the ten lower worlds is false personality created by mind. Our minds have developer tools to write codes and scripts. The mind receives so, much information about anger that it writes codes to create a personality to match the information. Within the anger personality exists multi personalities to match the different degrees of anger. The same holds true with the rest of the ten emotions. In Buddhism it is taught that all negative worlds have the other ten worlds within. So, if we are lucky to remove two negative false worlds or negative emotions, they as scripts can be rewritten by mind from the information inside the other emotions, which contain the codes. Mind also may pull out the eliminated negative emotions from the trashcan within mind and opens or reactive them again.

One can figure out why people have multi personalities and don’t know, which is their true one. Depending what suits a person’s needs could be the reason why some people go around with an angry face to ward off people that might intend to hurt them. People that are violent or evil could and do wear a few misleading false faces of a violent personality nature as a self-defense especially if they were abused when children. The point being is the mind writes and creates personalities that we think are protecting us when reality is false. In Buddhism we are taught that negative personalities represent disciples of evil demons. Because to the false personalities dominating our true thoughts, the light of truth will escape us through our lives with out us ever being aware of it.

To be cont’d on ten positive worlds or emotions as being false and misleading.

In this part, I want to speak on positive emotions as being misleading and false. Just like the negative emotions the mind’s developing tools create the positives. They are false personalities within us that express a misleading concept of what we are or have achieved. As false masks they represent our personalities in different stages of expression. Lets take a success emotion of happiness try to understand the mind has created a script and created personalities with matching masks and emotions to express happiness. I have experienced going deep into the mind and seen the different personalities representing positive emotions with voice and sounds to make the emotions real. Every emotion is results of chemical reactions that trigger the masks on our faces.

All emotions are based from our experiences as children to our environment or parental training.

to be continued!

After listening to the Centerpoint CDs I seem to think more clear and able to understand the hidden codes of our human minds. Mr. Harris I have made discoveries after discoveries of how to understand our minds. Below I wrote a few lines of some of my discoveries concerning how our mind codes seem to be operating.

By understanding the mind codes in the future, the blind will be able to see, the deaf will be able to hear, plus the dumb will be teaching in all our higher educational institutions around the world.

Thanks!

Genpo Roshi is indeed for real. I mentioned in a previous post that earlier this month I had the good fortune to attended the week long Rohatsu Sesshin at his Kanzeon Zen Center in Salt Lake City. The retreat was a traditional Zen Sesshin plus two hours of Big Mind every day. The combination was very powerful. Genpo Roshi truly is the down to earth person that you have described. He is also an exceptionally adept facilitator and teacher of the Big Mind process.

As anyone who was there would testify, there were some participants whom had miraculous breakthroughs. These were breakthroughs with some very deep and long term issues. Genpo Roshi led them down some very dark paths in their souls and brought them back free of their burdens. Participating with this greatly helps to uncover the same disowned voices in one’s self as what you find is that we are all very much the same.

Reading your excitement when describing Genpo and knowing you got very intense one on one contact with him, I feel right there with you. What a gift he has created and given to the world. Bless you for seeing this and sharing it. My doubting voice has spoken on some previous posts to you, but the only voices which wish to speak to you now are the voices of love, respect and kinship.

To anyone else reading this post, do yourself a huge good service by attending this retreat if you can. Being with these two great men should be an unforgettable experience. The money spent will seem trivial compared to what you will receive.

With great fondness and admiration,
