Will Holosync make you enlightened?

Many of you have asked that I write about Holosync, so beginning with this post, your wish is granted. There’s so much I could say about Holosync that it’s difficult to know where to start.

Here are just a few of the topics we could touch on:

  • How Holosync affects the brain, and how those changes in the brain create changes in awareness and consciousness…
  • The various brain wave patterns and what happens when your brain makes each of them…
  • How Holosync affects what Eastern meditation schools call the subtle body..
  • How Holosync affects dysfunctional feelings and behaviors…
  • How Holosync affects your ability to think more clearly and effectively…
  • How Holosync affects such things as ADD, hyperactivity, autism, addictions, and other such problems…
  • What neurochemical and hormonal changes are created when you use Holosync, and how those changes affect how you feel and function…
  • How Holosync affects awareness, what awareness actually is, and how increased awareness affects your life…
  • The difference between Holosync meditation and traditional meditation…
  • Why we provide progressively deeper levels of Holosync–and the huge benefit of continuing through those levels…
  • An overview of what happens when you use Holosync, why it happens, and what to do about it…
  • How Holosync raises your threshold for what you can handle from life…
  • How Holosync improves physical health, longevity, and resistance to disease…
  • Why some people have trouble using Holosync, and what they can do about it…
  • How Holosync affects the developmental process I’ve written so much about, and…
  • How Holosync affects enlightenment or awakening.

Whew! How do I write about all of that? A fair amount of this is addressed in the Support Letters I’ve written for Awakening Prologue and Awakening Level 1 (those for Awakening Level 1  are new, and just starting to go out to people), and in my other writings. I’ve found, though, that most people read this stuff once (if I’m lucky), and don’t absorb a lot of it. 

Why does this happen? Because if I describe something that happens as you use Holosync, but it hasn’t happened for you, YET, you probably won’t remember having read about it when, later, it does happen. It just wasn’t of concern when you read it, so your brain deleted it, disregarded it. Then, when you do have the experience, you probably won’t remember my reference to it.

For that reason, I highly suggest that you go back and reread the Support Letters and Special Reports I’ve sent you. You’ll find yourself having all kinds of ah-ha’s if you do, because what I’ve said will mean much more to you now–and you’ll much better understand what you’re experiencing, and where all of this is heading.

I realize that doing this takes time. I’ve written a ton about Holosync over the years, and that you have other things to do besides use Holosync and read what I’ve said about it. On the other hand, when you use Holosync you’re exposing your nervous system to a very potent stimulus that creates some rather amazing changes in the way you see and experience yourself, your world, and other people. If I were you, I’d want to know what I was feeding into my brain and how it works.

Since we’ve been talking about enlightenment in this blog, and because several of you have specifically asked about this, let’s talk about Holosync and enlightenment. So, are you going to become enlightened if you use Holosync?

First, perhaps we’d better decide what we mean by enlightenment.

I realize that in posing this question I’m opening Pandora’s Box. Defining enlightenment isn’t easy, partly because the whole subject is ineffable, which means it resists description. We’re trying to describe something non-dualistic with language, the whole premise of which is dualistic (i.e., that certain separate things do something to other things).

Another potential problem is that every reader will interpret what I say from his or her own individual perspective (his or her current developmental level) which by definition (excuse me for saying this, but it’s true) is incomplete, making what I say only partially understandable. Nearly everyone’s perspective on enlightenment is a collection of IDEAS, not something they know from experience.

Whatever. Let’s give it a try, and see what happens.

You could say that enlightenment is waking up to the truth about reality, or the truth about who you really are. So, then, what is the truth about reality? And who are you, really? Again, we have a problem, because you can’t really say what reality is. Being ineffable, it’s beyond description. We are part of a multidimensional reality that cannot be described with linear and dualistic language.

For this reason reality is generally described by saying what it ISN’T. (In theology this is called the apophatic approach. Another approach is to describe what reality is like, which is called the cataphatic approach–the approach of poetry or metaphor, as when we say, for instance, that God is love, or God is like a father and we are his children.)

So what I’m about to say will be partly what reality is like, partly what it is not, and partly what it is–even though anything you can say about it really isn’t it.

So, on one hand, we have the common sense notion that reality is composed of separate things and events–and that you are one of those separate things. The awakened person would see that this chopping of reality into separate bits is an illusion created by the mind, and that in actuality everything goes together and exists in relation to everything else. It’s all one continuous thing and one continuous event. For the awakened person this isn’t a way of thinking about the world, a theory, but rather an experience of the way things are.

As I’ve said in previous posts, this also includes the realization that all pairs of seeming opposites are really one, that they arise together and depend upon each other, and that the supposed conflict between opposites is also an illusion created by the mind. This is what I’ve referred to as the Game of Black and White–the idea that life, for instance, must (or could) win over death, that good must win over evil, that having must win over not having, or in general that what you want must (or could) win over what you don’t want.

Further, the very nature of who you are–and the nature of every other “thing-event” in the relative world–is emptiness. In Buddhism they say, “Emptiness is form, form is emptiness.” This “emptiness” is called Śūnyatā in Buddhism, and signifies that everything one encounters in life is empty of any absolute identity, permanence, or any sort of in-dwelling ’self’.

This is because everything is interrelated and mutually dependent, as I said above, which means that nothing has any independent existence (when they use the term emptiness Buddhists don’t mean that everything is NOTHING–emptiness is their way of describing this lack of independent nature). All things are in a state of constant flux where energy and information are continuously and forever flowing throughout the natural world giving rise to, and themselves undergoing, major transformations with the passage of time.

In other words, everything is impermanent. What seem to be substantial and discrete things come into being and pass away, endlessly. This misperception that there are solid and separate things with some sort of independent existence (including the idea that there is a separate you with an independent existence) is caused by the psychological tendency to grasp at all objects of perception as if they really existed as independent entities.

Some think that this is a result of our resistance to impermanence, particularly death. This resistance causes ordinary (unawakened) beings to believe that separate and stable objects exist ‘out there’ as they appear to perception. (Ironically, when you stop resisting impermanence, and embrace it, you are free.)

This delusion that there are stable things out there is like seeing a whirlpool in a river and thinking that it is a solid, permanent thing, when in really it is a constantly changing flow that just looks like a stable and constant ”thing.”

Here is what the Dalai Lama said about the Buddhist idea of emptiness in his book The Universe in a Single Atom (and yes, I will get back to Holosync):

One of the most important philosophical insights in Buddhism comes from what is known as the theory of emptiness. At its heart is the deep recognition that there is a fundamental disparity between the way we perceive the world, including our own experience in it, and the way things actually are.

In our day-to-day experience, we tend to relate to the world and to ourselves as if these entities possessed self-enclosed, definable, discrete and enduring reality. For instance, if we examine our own conception of selfhood, we will find that we tend to believe in the presence of an essential core to our being, which characterises our individuality and identity as a discrete ego, independent of the physical and mental elements that constitute our existence.

The philosophy of emptiness reveals that this is not only a fundamental error but also the basis for attachment, clinging and the development of our numerous prejudices. According to the theory of emptiness, any belief in an objective reality grounded in the assumption of intrinsic, independent existence is simply untenable. All things and events, whether ‘material’, mental or even abstract concepts like time, are devoid of objective, independent existence. To intrinsically possess such independent existence would imply that all things and events are somehow complete unto themselves and are therefore entirely self-contained. This would mean that nothing has the capacity to interact with or exert influence on any other phenomena.

But we know that there is cause and effect – turn a key in a car, the starter motor turns the engine over, spark plugs ignite and fuel begins to burn… Yet in a universe of self-contained, inherently existing things, these events could never occur!

So effectively, the notion of intrinsic existence is incompatible with causation; this is because causation implies contingency and dependence, while anything that inherently existed would be immutable and self-enclosed. In the theory of emptiness, everything is argued as merely being composed of dependently related events; of continuously interacting phenomena with no fixed, immutable essence, which are themselves in dynamic and constantly changing relations. Thus, things and events are ‘empty’ in that they can never possess any immutable essence, intrinsic reality or absolute ‘being’ that affords independence.

Suffering happens when we cling to these phantom “things” and “events”–and in particular, to the most significant phantom of all, ”me.”

When a person awakens, they see through all of this–or, you might say, “there is a seeing-through of all of this,” since part of the waking up is the realization that there is no separate person there to actually see anything. (This is why it’s so hard to describe this with language, which implies the very separate things and events we’re saying aren’t real.)

This realization isn’t a theoretical understanding, or a belief. It’s an experience, and at first a quite stunning experience. And along with that experience is a complete freedom from clinging to the idea of ”me,” or to the world being any certain way. All the conflicts that seem so real in the Game of Black and White are seen through, and in seeing through all of this, there is complete freedom.

Geez, I just wanted to talk about Holosync, and here I’ve been sucked into explaining one of the deepest philosophical questions ever raised. So let’s just say that the above describes the awakened experience, even though such an experience can’t be described. And, if this doesn’t make sense to you, let that be okay. Before you start to actually see/feel/experience the truth of the above, it can just seem to be theoretical mumbo-jumbo. Once you have the experience, though, the above just seems like a description (though incomplete) of what is obvious.

So how does Holosync tune you in to this experience and awaken you to the illusion of separate things and events and the futility of resisting the universe the way it is?

It actually makes more sense to look at this question the other way around–to ask how in the world a human being can come under the illusion that there are separate things and events, and that there is a separate doer who can move them around through some sort of power that is separate from the whole.

Here’s the typical explanation. The mind, by its very nature, chops the universe into separate things and events, something I’ve discussed at length in other posts. This chopping is called maya in Hindu and Buddhist thought. Maya comes from the same root word as measurement, and it’s the idea that we take an essentially wiggly world and try to “straighten it out,” to explain it (ex-plane it, flatten it out), to “square things away,” to “iron things out,” and so on.

If humans were in charge of clouds, for instance, they would all probably have regular geometrical shapes. The natural wiggly world is too complex for our simple minds, so we try to simplify it by dividing it into this and that, separate things and events, and create simple representations of the exceedingly complex  (actually, infinitely complex) multi-dimensional goings-on of the natural world.

For instance, if you tried to describe what happened to you during the last five minutes whatever you said would be a tiny fraction of what really happened, because what happened actually included all your sensory impressions, attended to or not, all your relationships with everything else (ultimately) in the universe, all the cells that divided in your body, all the heartbeats that happened, all the muscle movements, and a whole lot more–and that just can’t be described. It would take an infinite amount of time to explain all of this, since it’s all happening all at once. We live in a multi-dimensional universe that just cannot be grabbed hold of, physically or mentally! (It’s been said about Reality, the Tao, that “You can’t grab hold of it, and you can’t get rid of it.”)

So the way out of this fragmented way of living and seeing the world (a way of seeing that is the root cause of the suffering in the world) is to stop mistaking this chopped-up way of looking at the universe, through the filter of the mind, for the real thing. And, to do this, you first have to get out of the mind entirely (though once you “get it” you can go back to using the mind, but this time without being fooled that what it creates is more than just a representation of reality).

Holosync (as well as traditional meditation, for that matter) creates connections in the brain that gradually allows you to see more and more how everything really does go together, to see how everything is really one big “thing-event”, and how separate things and events (especially the separate “me”) are illusory.

This, of course, is the end-of-the-line ultimate realization. As you know if you’re using Holosync, this isn’t what happens during the first week. As you use Holosync, though, you gradually see how things go together and, as this happens, you relax. Things that bothered you before (aspects of life around which you were playing the Game of Black and White) don’t seem to bug you as much. Seeing the world as a conglomeration of separate things and events (that aren’t you, and are potentially dangerous) creates anxiety, because it makes it SEEM as if you are separate from the rest of the universe–and, as a separate self, that you are in danger, or at least potentially in danger.

As you increasingly see how things go together your anxiety diminishes, along with depression, anger, fear, and other “negative” emotions (the emotions of separation). At the same time, your various coping methods for dealing with what seems like the danger of existence also calm down–addictions, eating problems, withdrawal, projection, behavioral acting out, and so on.

Most people don’t, at first, see these changes as being a result of seeing how everything goes together, because that isn’t apparent in the beginning–at least to most people. But just a little bit, even if you aren’t yet consciously aware of it, is enough to change your experience of life. The ah-ha, where you see that, yes, everything is connected, and you are not separate, comes later.

Another way to approach this is to realize that the mind, in chopping the universe up into separate bits, creates an illusion. As the mind calms down, this illusion loses power. Holosync quiets the mind, at least over time, and as this happens you become calmer, you feel more connected to everything, and the emotions and behaviors characteristic of separation diminish.

On the other hand, as many of you know, you can experience upheaval as you use Holosync. With any kind of meditation, the mind, the ego, will fight back. All those areas of life where you’re playing the Game of Black and White (trying to resist or get rid of something) will eventually surface, and the upheaval you experience is really just your own resistance to what is.

In other words, all the areas of life where you think things should be THIS way and not THAT way, will come up, and you might have strong resistance around each of them. Of course, you don’t have to resist. You could surrender to what is and let the world be the way that it is, but most people fight for their IDEAS about how this should win over that. This fighting, of course, creates upheaval and suffering. This is what I’m referring to when I tell people as they use Holosync to let whatever happens be okay. Most people, at first, have a hard time taking this advice. Still, I give it.

(By the way, I am not saying that you can’t do something to create change in your life. As long as you do so without resistance, create all the change you want.)

The more you’ve been traumatized in your life, the more likely you’ll fight for your version of the Game of Black and White. This happens because the trauma you’ve suffered gives you a strong belief that the world is a dangerous place, and that you MUST protect yourself from that danger. What you think of as danger is Black in the Game of Black and White, and you can’t let it win, so you play a HARD version of the game in an attempt to defeat it. The Game of Black and White, though, is an unwinnable game. This is because in reality Black and White go together and are really one thing. Having one side “win” and eliminating the other would be like having up win over down. What’s more, ultimately, Black and White are just ideas, not realities. Desirable and undesirable are not qualaties that are intrinsic to anything. They are ADDED by the mind, from the outside.

So, if your experience is intense from time to time as you use Holosync, you have to realize that you are doing it, by (unconsciously) playing the Game of Black and White–which means clinging to your idea of how things should be, in other words, resisting what is. Again, this is why I suggest that you let whatever happens be okay, at least emotionally, and just watch with curiosity. And, I’ll admit that at first this isn’t easy to do, so you might have to go through a bit of upheaval from time to time. I sure did.

So, will you become enlightened? This, of course, is a trick question. The truth is that there is no “you” that could become enlightened. The “you” you’re hoping will become enlightened is the ego, and since enlightenment is an ending of unconscious identification with the ego, your IDEA of who you are, “you” can’t become enlightened. Trying to become enlightened ultimately bumps up against the fact that the trying is just a strengthening the very thing that stands in the way of it happening.

Well, shit, you say. Bummer. Maybe I’ll go to someone who’ll be more encouraging. But what I’ve just said isn’t bad news. The reason you can’t become enlightened is that you don’t exist, and that realization IS enlightenment (or at least one stage of it). The truth is that enlightenment can HAPPEN, but “you” can’t do anything to make it happen because you don’t exist!

As Ken Wilber says, enlightenment is an accident, but meditation makes you more accident prone. Enlightenment happens, but there is no separate self that it happens to. I will say that since meditation makes you more accident prone, and Holosync meditation is undeniably faster and more potent than traditional meditation, using Holosync makes you REALLY accident prone. And, even if enlightenment doesn’t “happen,” “you” will, over time, at the very least drop a lot of your emotional bullshit, gain a tremendous clarity of mind, and dramatically reduce the amount of suffering you experience.

Again, if you’ve suffered a lot of trauma in your past, you’re almost sure to be playing a seriously hard Game of Black and White, in which case your path will probably be much more intense (the more trauma, the harder we play the Game of Black and White). When this happens, the mind, the ego, fights back even harder.

This was the way it was for me. I had HUGE upheaval, tons of cathartic stuff. I made the whole process very difficult for myself. But if I can come out the other side, anyone can. It’s because of the potential for upheaval that I created the support letters and the support hotline. Some people need more support. I didn’t have any support, which meant that I unknowingly made things more difficult than they needed to be. Now the only way you can do that is if you don’t ask for support, or reject it when it’s offered (as many people do–we tell them exactly what they need to do to stop suffering and they get pissed off at us).

To make all of this even more paradoxical, once you’ve realize that you are IT (or, rather, that the center you thought was you is just an idea, and that the real you is the entire going on of it all), once you get that there is no separate you, you have to somehow integrate that realization back into the relative world.

The truth is that humans DO create a world of separate things and events, and you can’t get away from the relative world. Trying to do so is just as much a delusion as failing to see that separate things and events aren’t real. So once you realize that the relative world, the world of separate things and events, is a mentally created illusion–what is commonly referred to as awakening (the Third Rank of Tozan I described in a previous post) you go back into the relative world and learn how to function in it WHILE AT THE SAME TIME knowing who you really are.

This is necessary because of one of the basic laws of reality: everything is in time and eventually passes away. There’s no getting away from this, and it’s for this reason that to be here, as a human, there is going to be SOME suffering. To be here you have to become attached, at least a little bit. You have to play a LIGHT version of the Game of Black and White. There’s no reason to be here unless you do. Genpo Roshi, for instance, is attached to some things, but it’s by choice. He’s attached to his children, his wife, his friends, to Zen, to helping others wake up, and so on. In the same way, I’m attached to certain things. And, because all things come into being and pass away, there is suffering built into all attachment.

The difference between Genpo Roshi (or anyone who has awakened and then goes back into the relative world) and the average person is that the awakened person chooses what to become attached to. Genpo Roshi calls such a person ”the one who chooses to be a human being.” Once you “get” the truth that everything is one thing, you could just sit in that place, in Big Mind, but in that place there’s nothing to do, nowhere to go, nothing to get. In that case, why be here? This relative world is a place where we at least play as if there IS something to get, somewhere to go, something to do. It’s just that the awakened person is choosing those things, while the unawakened person–busy playing an unconscious Game of Black and White–unconsciously stumbles from one type of suffering to the next, without choice.

So the answer to the question of whether or not you will become enlightened if you use Holosync is yes. And, it’s also no. And maybe. I’ll tell you this, though. Enlightenment is about two things: awareness (of what is real and what is illusion, and who you really are), and surrender to what is (in particular, to impermanence). You must see things the way they really are, and awareness is needed if you are to do that. Then, you must accept things the way they are, which means that you stop playing the Game of Black and White, except as a conscious choice. You see the way things are, and also that ultimately there is no escape from the way things are.

Once you do that (again, accepting the fact that, in reality, there’s no “you” to do this, but that’s the limitation of explaining this using language), you are FREE. People think that freedom is winning the Game of Black and White. It isn’t. Freedom is stepping out of the game, then stepping back in, but this time doing so consciously, intentionally, knowing and accepting the consequences.

Whew! This was a long one. I hope this is helpful. See you next time.

Before I go…

1) I just returned from presenting a workshop with Genpo Roshi in New York. Again, it was mind-blowing. Everyone raved about their experience. If you were there, please post something about your experience. I strongly urge you to come to our next workshop, in Las Vegas, on September 20-21. You can sign up at www.centerpointe.com/bigmind.

2) Also, if you haven’t registered for my FREE online course about the work of Eckhart Tolle, please do. Those who are taking this course are raving about how helpful it is. Just go to www.understandingthepowerofnow.com to register.

    Hi Balu, and Bill and all,
    I should say that I became interested in the brain in 1980 or so, when a friend’s husband suffered a massive stroke in the language area of his brain. The doctor’s were very discouraging and said that he was “a vegetable” because he didn’t have any language and wouldn’t be able to think. ….

    I am a writer and an artist, and at the time had been teaching young children. I was appalled. I love language, but my dreams have always been Movies rather than Books and many of my “understandings” have come when I have “seen” the solution…. Pre-verbal children are very alive mentally…. I couldn’t believe those doctors said that, and as it turned out he regained his ability to communicate, proving them wrong about thought as well as about his condition.

    Thank you for the recommendation about Prof V S Ramachandran. I will look for his book.

    Hi,

    I have been listening to the brilliant follow-up interview series that you created after the webinar event on “A New Earth.”

    I came to the book in the middle of a huge life-transition. I am a longtime student of Yoga, Meditation, Conscious Breathing, my own art making_ the result of a powerful childhood epiphany, as well as the benefits of cognizant psychology.

    I was drawn to “A New Earth,” due to the energetic environment that spontaneously arises when human beings come together to inquire about the nature of reality.

    I am currently experiencing homelessness in a very supported way; an important detail in a larger family “’story,’ all of which is part of this leg of my journey in this life. I am experiencing everything right now. So, the biggest part, and the reason that I write here after listening to your particular broadcast in the “Mastering the NOW” interview series, has to do with working with someone close to me who is diagnosed as OCD/ Bi-Polar diagnosis: Can Holosync help inside the reality of what seems extreme mental health issues? If you think this is possible and/or know of those with these conditions who have benefited from Holosync in particular, can you tell me how it might help? Maybe even point me in their direction?

  3. Chris says:

    Hey Bill, just a suggestion….

    It may not even have to be a big thing to write about, and maybe something you can just throw in really quick into one of your future blogs. I’ve read tons from you now and can’t recall your opinion on what “gratitude” is about. I know you have your quirks about “The Secret” and such, but gratitude is a great feeling to express and have. I don’t know what you think about the whole…. “brings in more” stuff, but I’d love to hear your opinion!

  4. Brad Auzin says:

    dearest bill,

    i have been reading you for years and loving it. sometimes change can take a while. i have been one of those times! the series you did on Tolle’s living the power of now was the item that put me over the top. your dedication to the process of change is inspiring, and i thank you! i just ordered the demo CD and believe i’ll be an owner of the complete progam in short order. thanks for all your great material and ongoing support.

    be well, Brad

    I’ve tried a million billion self improvement gimicks and I’m currently trying a few more…some are so outlandish that I’m actually embarressed to discribe them! But, Holosync so far has been the one thing that I’ve stuck to long term because it actually lives up to it’s promise.

    FYI, I’m on Purification Level 3….wow…that makes me special, haha! But seriously, my quality of life has completely turned around and I’m actually accomplishing things. So there.

    I’m not sure I’ve ever thanked Bill, so…thanks Bill.

  6. Terry Heart Solomon says:

    Hi Bill,

    no need to post this comment. Just wondering when we can expect your next blog. It feels like it’s been a while now.

    T

    FROM BILL: It has been a while. I just happened to be particularly overwhelmed with a ton of dealines and other obligations right now. I am looking for a window of time when I can write something new. Stay tuned.

I’m the experience being experienced in trillions & trillions & trillions of forms & non forms thru out the pulsating ever expanding energies, within me the body “UR” body is already all the experiences built inn U-Me have access to all that is, here & now, u can choose to be anything u want NOW, I’m the chooser the choice the choosed & the no choice, I’m the observer & the observed , I’m this & that. I’m all at once.

    I’m the Godliness that prevails in all the before & the after & the NOW.

    I’m simply consciousness creating itself.

  8. Lewi says:

    Good Morning Bill,

    I just finished listening to your final mp3 on MasteringThePowerOfNow.

    Towards the end Bill you really begin speaking from a transcendant voice and I resonated deeply with it.

    This is all happening as the sun is rising over the eastern ridge of the Catalnia mountains here in Tucson, and the light is appearing through my window.

    For the past week or so I’ve been doing very little as I’ve been floating a few feet off the ground in a state of isness. You could say I’m practicing non-action.

    But the past few days my ego has been nagging at me to get something done. Once again I’ve been questioning my purpose and how I can take my business further and blah, blah, blah.

    I want to thank you for your momentous words and reminding me to allow my natural purpose to unfold.

    As Lao Tsu said: “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”

    With that note, I’m going to go to the canyon to take a nice hike. I’ll let the birds do the work today!

    Your friend,
    Lewi

    Bill,

    I am half-way through Level-4 of Holosync and have previously noted a list of changes which I have perceived in my behaviour, attitudes to life and other people, and general demeanour.

    I have read somewhere that at the end of Level-4, big changes often occur. Maybe I’m ahead of the game, because recently I have noticed some quite significant changes. These include:

    *a general sense of peace with the world and my place in it.
    *a degree of detachment from mundane things like news, politics, day-to-day events.
    *little or no wish to engage in the game of White Must Win both in personal relationships and community involvement activities.
    *greatly increased tolerance of the foibles and suffering of other people.
    *a sense of oneness with the world and all it contains . . .the universe even!
    *greatly reduced reactivity to little frustrations and annoyances.
    *a sense of things starting to go my way.
    *much less interest in personal development programs – less clutching at straws in my search for meaning in my life.

    There are probably others I can’t think of at present . But they aren’t the point of this post. What is important is the fact that I attribute these changes in large measure to my daily practice of Holosync . Other influences have been your and Oprah’s discussions of Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of NOW” and re-reading the book itself.

    So I’m a believer in Holosync! I intend to sign up for the whole enchilada at my next level purchase. So many thanks for your program, and for these posts. Not to mention the re-issue of the support letters #1 & #2. More strength to your elbow :-)

    still waiting for the next installment…but hey…what i would really like to hear about is lets say…aday in the life of bill harris or a day in the life of genpo roshi…whats it actually like to be in and act from that perspective…even if we cant understand from our level of development…what does happen when you have “no worries” and did you think like that before you became a successful person…hmmm…interested…interested..

  12. Thank you Bill for offering the world the opportunity to be conscious of thier creations. You interview with Joe Vitale, was music to my heart and mind. I finally knew the missing componet in my steps to creating my reality. Bravo! You have both successfully woken up one more person. I am looking forward to hearing my new CD.

    I was a Hypnotherapist years ago, with the understanding of the power of your subconscious. Bill you have taken this to a new threshold, thank you and again, Bravo!

  13. Neelesh Marik says:

    Hi Bill,

    I got introduced to your work only very recently.

    Your mastering the power of now series caught my attention because of my intense experience with Eckhart’s book. The series has been very insightful, and complements and supplements the book in many ways.

    Another recent personal development has been my reading of Ken Wilber’s works. I am beginning to see a wonderful convergence between all the exponents in the Mastering series, your own work through your blog and the holosync phenomenon.

    I have to admit that these developments within me are more at an intellectual level than experiential. To accelerate the latter I have just requested your Holosync Awakeing prologue.

    I note that there are many events in the United States for the growing number of seekers (that may be an incorrect word in some sense!), to get a first hand experience of the good work that you, and Genpo, and Ken and Saniel/ Linda, and others are doing.

    This message is partly an enquiry to find out if such events are planned in other parts of the world, outside of the United States.

    If so, given the importance of critical mass in terms of numbers of interested people, would London, UK be a likely candidate?

    I am glad to be able to help in that matter, both as a matter of personal interest in getting deeper into these things, and also to help widen the remit of getting this experience to a larger number of people.

    Thanks and regards,

    Neelesh Marik

  14. Michelle says:

    I love that you are making your blog postings available as podcasts. This is a much more realistic way for me to keep up with your writing. I never found the time to do all the reading!

    At the beginning of this posting, you list a variety of topics you could cover. Of particular interest to me is the application of holosync in treating ADHD, autisim, and addiction. I have family members who stuggle with these issues, and when I first heard about holosync, I was googleing to see if I could find more information about the successful use of holosync for these conditions. Alas, I found nothing, but I decided to try holosync for myself and then see if I could convince my family members to give it a try. So far it’s still just me using it with good results, but I would love it if you could give me more information to show my son who has ADHD, tourettes syndrome and addiction issues how holosync would be of benefit to him.

    I would also be interested in hearing you speak more about linking Eckhart Tolle’s work and holosync. My personal experience is that using holosync has made it much easier for me to understand what Tolle is referring to when he speaks about being in the present moment, and having the sense of being “the witness”. I believe that holosync has made that state of awareness much more a part of my daily life.

    Thanks!!!

    FROM BILL: Are you aware that I have an entire FREE onine course called Understanding the Power of Now? It features me, Genpo Roshi, Ken Wilber, and several other awakened teachers discussing awakening both from the Eckhart Tolle perspective and from that of each of the teachers. Just go to http://www.UnderstandingThePowerOfNow.com.

    We have many parents who tell us that when their ADHD child listened to Holosync that they experienced extraordinary improvement. Something seems to balance, or normalize, when kids with these problems use Holosync. One woman told me how her grandson was getting up at 5 am, going like crazy until midnight, and then doing it again the next day. He was driving everyone crazy. One day he said, “Grandma, can I listen to you headphones?” (She was listening to Holosync.) He put them on, and within 10 minutes was asleep (this was at about 7 pm) and slept until about 8 am the next morning. They began having him listen each evening and within a month they said he was a different kid. I’ve heard similar stories many times. I’d love to find someone who works with such kids who is willing to do a more structured trial, but it’s clear to me that Holosync has a significant effect on ADHD.

    Years ago we had a participant who worked with autistic kids. He said that it usually took 30 minutes to just make contact with a kid (in other words, get them to look, or in some way give an indication that they were even aware, when you clapped your hands–or something similar–near them). He started playing Quietude, and alpha brain wave soundtrack we give people with Awakening Prologue, over speakers in the corners of the room (not even the most effective way to use it). When Quietude was playing, he said he made contact in 5 minutes. Again, there is a lot of room for investigation here.

  15. Sheila Smith says:

    I just finished listening to your free demo. Wow! I have a powerful mind, which actually makes it difficult to meditate at times. I felt a wonderful, peaceful, empowering state of being just from your demo. Some of my first thoughts were this should be applied to children. There is a seeming epidemic of childhood maladies such as ADD, ADHD, and autism in the world today. I believe some of this is due to the inundation of stimulus in our fast-paced world. It creates a child who cannot be peaceful. This amazing technology would abate these problems, probably unequivocably. Just think of the wonderfully whole individuals this could produce. Futures are unlimited!

  16. joey says:

    Hello,

    Everyone who advocates using these CDs seems to use them every day. They don’t teach your mind to be independent of the technology? Do you have to keep listening to reap the benefits?

    –Joey

    FROM BILL: Your asking without knowing anything about what you’re asking about. Do you eat every day? Do you listen to music or do other things you really enjoy every day? Do you exercise? People use Holosync because it dramatically improves their lives. They love doing it and they look forward to it. Their day is better when they do it. They also use them every day because that’s what the directions tell them to do–and the directions tell them to do that because I have found, over 23 years of experience, that that’s the most effective way to get all the benefits.

    However, Holosync also causes deep and PERMANENT changes in mental health, spiritual awareness, well being, and many other parts of life. I haven’t done Holosync myself, other than sporatically, for 16 years. The benefits I received not only are still there, they keep increasing because Holosync creates a positive momentum in a person’s life that seems to continue indefinitely. Why not TRY IT for youself and find out why people are doing it? There’s a one year money back guarantee (which hardly anyone takes advantage of because they don’t want to send it back), so there’s no risk to you to find out for yourself.

  17. Janelle says:

    I have been using Holosync for … oh, I’ve lost count. 9 or 10 years. I’ve slowed down a bit (using holysync) recently, because I was busy enjoying the life I had created but I’m back to it now (while still loving the life I have created!!).

    I was one of the people who had a pretty good life… no major problems… except maybe fulfillment. I was 35, then 40… and starting to think ‘I haven’t done all the things I’ve always wanted to do’. I started Holosync… I didn’t notice the incredible changes many noticed, but something compelled me to ‘tune in’ every day. I enjoyed my hour. It relaxed me. I looked forward to it… and for those reasons alone, I kept listening.

    To keep it short I’ll highlight the changes that have happened to me in the last several years. I’m one of those ‘hindsight holosyncers’… those who don’t realise it’s happening until we look back on how our lives have changed.

    *My marriage of 24 years finished following the exit of our youngest daughter to her own life and home.
    *I studied a new career… something I loved and not one I was obliged to work at (family business).
    *I packed all I needed into the back of my car (left the rest to my daughters) and drove north…. and in Queensland Australia, that’s quite a way…. over 2000 klms.
    *I began my new life in Paradise… Port Douglas in Far North Queensland and spent some of the best years of my life there (2.5years), working and making friends with people who only knew me as Janelle (not ‘the wife of’ or ‘the mother of’… what a great feeling!)… and during that time I met a man who ‘thought’ the way I did. I’d never experienced that before.
    *In 2007 we sold everything, left everything and everyone …. and went to Europe.
    * Bought an old but lovingly restored boat and lived and travelled in the Mediterranean and all over Europe. After 16 months we left ‘Tommy’ in Corfu, Greece to be sold and we came home.
    * Being home is no trial… we live on the beautiful Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. Close to the beach, close to the green hills of the hinterland, close to my children and parents (2 hours) and a plane ride to Sydney for the family of my man (2 hours). I love my home, I love my job… I live in another Paradise… My life is perfect.

    Did I manifest this with the help of Holosync which in turn means …. the power of attraction? I believe so. Positive thinking… It works. I refuse to allow a negative thought to enter my sphere.

    I know it all sounds easy for me. It wasn’t! I made some very difficult decisions (I left my family, my children (although adults by now, but the guilt reared it’s ugly head… the conditioning of a woman/mother), my friends, my home)….
    The world has worked against us sometimes (the world financial crisis)….
    Reclaiming the lifestyle I once enjoyed isn’t easy…. but I’ve also learned that you don’t need a lot to be happy.,,, and fulfilled.
    To get rid of clutter and the years of accumulated non essentials, is liberating…. and it feels absolutely wonderful!
    I believe Holosync put me on the road to this fulfillment and I can never thank Bill and his vision enough.

  18. Leroy says:

    I am pretty simple minded and gravitate toward I’m OK, Your OK. After comptemplating the Best Seller book – I just realized that Ok is not Ok because it’s a form of Black and White. So, I am neither Ok or Not Ok and that’s Ok with me. Been listening to Holosync for who knows how long – it’s OK by me. getting better every Ok – almost to So What? Who Cares? having one of those hit the concrete wall moments – Damn that hurt

  19. Leroy says:

    Opps – I was floating merrily, merrily down Spring River here in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, leaves changing colors – when I got to the damn. Damn – hit another concrete wall. Oh well – picked up my canoe, carried it around the damn and started down the rapids. After going over a beautiful waterfall and I got stuck, canoe jammed into a boulder with ass of the canoe sitting at the top of the waterfall. The canoe is teetering sideways – Opps – no one around to help me out of this dilemna, not even Holosync. Tried freeing canoe off boulder, slipped and fell and cut my leg on another rock. Canoe stayed – I floated on down – thanks life jacket – who needs a canoe anyway – everybody needs a life jacket sometimes. True story – happy ending – I am writing this NOW – WOW My older brother, Tomcat, yelled at me “Don’t go that way” I should have listened.
    What I learned – Before you dive / jump to conclusions – be prepared for what’s lying under the water. Damn that hurt, won’t go that way again. Life is kinda like my canoe ride – live and learn. Smooth sailing and may the wind always be at your back, it won’t. At least I didn’t drown. Enjoy the ride! Thanks Holosync – still laughing about my adventure! Tomcat keeps saying, “I told ya not to go that way.” So, did my momma and your momma, too. Listen to Bill – I will – go with flow – it’s easier if you have someone that’s already floated down the rapids.

  20. Don Bryant says:

    Dear Centrepointe,

    I can not tell you how wonderful the Awakening Prologue and Dive, have been the last several years. The proof is in the immediate difference one feels after listening to the recordings. I would like to advance to a new level, and recall that their use to be several levels of the recordings one could use, after the initial ones had been utilized. Many, many thanks to Centrepointe Research Institute, for this wonderful tool. If anyone knows how to advance to the next level, please feel free to let me know……thanks..don

    FROM BILL: How about calling Centerpointe and saying, “I’d like to buy the next level of the program”?

  21. Dale Bent says:

    One of you asked for information about different people’s progress toward “enlightenment”. Here’s a short version of my story.

    I’m now 70. When I was about 18, I read some of Alan Watt’s books, and became intrigued. Right away, it seemed important and inspiring. At that time, Canada was not a hospitable place for a spiritual seeker. No one I knew seemed enlightened, nor knew anything about it, or even cared. I tried meditating but didn’t know what to do or expect.

    For years, as an academic, I floundered about in the “literature”, trying to understand what, after all, is just under our nose. The closest I got to a meaningful practice was attending hatha yoga sessions — which started to be common about 30 years ago.

    Over the 50 years to so since then I first heard the word “enlightenment”, more and more resources have come available. Ken Wilber’s writings really opened the door for me, and finally I found Holosync. I’ve now gotten to level 4, and I’ve found that my path is opening up more and more. Right now, I’m reading and re-reading Eckhart Tolle and I’ve found Bill’s initiative in explaining how Tolle’s ideas fit together with Holosync and Integral LIfe Practice most helpful.

    I’m not in a hurry any more. Every day offers redemption, blessings, and knowledge, if only we’re open to receive it.

    Thanks to Bill and all of you for your sincere help along the road.

    Sincerely, Dale Bent.

  23. Christina MacDonald says:

    I am new at this “Holistic Healing” audio. I just ordered my free demo for it to check it out. I am an Bi-polar female, I have a lot of emtional scaring inside that holds me back. I have read what this demo is good for, and after reading the blogs, it seems like it really works good, or course with the effort to want to change your thinking of course, I am really excited. I hope this works. I have tried many things and have found they have not really helped me out much. I have a fast, racy mid, where I have tried Meditation and it has not worked much, I cannot seem to get my mid to relax enough to get into it, I give power to the peole who it does work for!

  24. Steve says:

    It makes sense that Holosync could help some people achieve a higher state of consciousness. I just think the person has to be ready of course. Everyone is at different state’s of evolution to don’t let people fool you into thinking everyone is here to achieve enlightenment, at least not in this life time. Everyone is at different places, but the bi-rhythms or whatever should really help everyone regardless program new beliefs. Wishing everyone the best. I can’t wait to buy a few of the CD’s.

    Thanks Bill,enjoyed the sample cd and am looking forward to the whole course.

  27. Connie says:

    Bill, without holosync all my mind does even while I sleep is think about problems. It’s just such a waste of thinking and it has a tendency to draw a person into negativity. I just feel that without holosync I have no control over the aggressive mind that does not know how to control these negative thoughts from taking over. Thank you Bill for helping me!

    Connie

  28. Michael says:

    Hi Bill,
    This is a great blog!
    I’m on the programme because when I was 19 I lived in a state of heightened awareness for 1 year, before it faded away. It is impossible to convey to others how it feels, as you say, it cannot be described with linear and dualistic language. I just wish I could have kept that mental state.
    I also want to say how pleasant I find The Dive and Immersion.
    It asks the question on your homepage ‘why isn’t everybody meditating’ and then gives the reason about how long it takes to get results with traditional meditation and how difficult it is. But, given Holosync, I’m still asking why isn’t ‘everyone, bar a few, meditating (with Holosync)?

    Mick.

    FROM BILL: Not everyone knows about it, yet. They will, though. You can help out by telling everyone you know. In fact, everyone readig this: don’t keep this a secret. Tell everyone about Holosync. They will thank you once they’ve used it awhile.

  29. Margie says:

    Could I listen to the tape while I sleep? What is the best time of day to listen to the tapes. Does the amount of time a day I listen to the tapes increase my results.

    FROM BILL: This is not meant to be a place where you get support for Holosync. These questions are answered in the FAQ we send to all users, or call our support coaches at 503 672-7117.

    Bill Harris I don’t even mind if you never read or see this. I just have to get it out of my mouth. I woke up on the 28th day of February made phone call that changed the course of my life, My first thought was “I am going to lose everything. How could I have not seen it comming. This little voice said to me you did see it. you know all along that this was going to happen, because you neve wanted this to begin with. Ever sence that statment to myself things have been running full throttle. I lost the house.
    I got in my car drove from Tucson to Dallas in 13 hours. one thousand miles. In the two weeks I was there I did 29 of my new years resolutions. I vowed to date 100 men in the year 2009. that todals 37 all together. I drove back to Tucson with the same detrermination as I drove away. I made me a big sign that read “Homelsess Grandma yard sale” everything must go. Heck they even bought the food out of my fridge. Today I listened to lesson three and I understood for th first time what it felt like to need nothing have nothing, the house is gone the clothes the dust collectors. the furniture, bills the waking up at thrree am wondering how I’ll do it again this month. I decided in order to have it all I had to see what it look like with nothing, evn my family felt abandoned at the beginning of all this but I under reactd played it down. slowly moved into this new way of living. Even though it feels like everything went real fast. Today is May 2, form February 28 to May 2nd. I went form a whopping 239lbs sad fearful confused, tired depressed, lonely,misunderstood made fun of to 185lbs full of life, When you want it bad enought and its all you think about when you wake until you sleep. you get it inspite of your self. When I realied it was my mind getting in the way I got it out of my way. Sure its not perfect. I never signed up for perfect. My three year old hears me talk about this stuff all the time and one day he heard me say I am a Human (being) He ask grandma are you a Human (Bean) and I said yes baby. I laughed till I cried because I am growing. Alemenia

  31. Lorraine Hough says:

    This was a nice post and I would like to add something additional. You speak about the importance of finding out who “you” really are, but at the same time say there really is no “you.” You speak of getting “out of your mind,” but this is impossible. There is only one way to do that and that is to “not be” for consciousness is mind. I use a simple characterization to describe self using a cob of corn. Individuals are the kernels and are all rooted and connected to the source but at the same time each expresses as a fully contained whole, yet each kernel is distinctly individual and unique. There is nothing to create as everything is already within the whole and within each individual. Each individual unfolds uniquely however, or has an individual take on unfoldment, and that is what the unique “you” is, or the individual. You are your individual understanding, or your highest sense of what is true about you as a whole. And yes, in a relative sense our true sense of ourselves is constantly unfolding which can appear to be a change, but is nevertheless and unfoldment, and can appear to go over time, and is not constant, but in truth there is no time, just one thing always, and that is our highest sense of the truth of our being. It is all seems paradoxical, but in fact it is not. The higher the sense the more simple life is revealed to you, you do not create anything. There is something that “you” individually can do, however, and that is to use the active force of your mind, your reason, to unfold your understanding through conscious awareness of what you already are so you can enjoy all that you are.

    I love your posts and all that you are doing.

    Best,

    FROM BILL: Quite frankly, this seems like a lot of beliefs, not something you know from experience. And, you are misinterpreting what I am saying. The “you” you think you are is just and idea. Just as your idea of a potato isn’t a potato, but rather a representations (in your mind) of a potato, your idea of “you” isn’t who you really are. You are really the infinite relationships that connect “you” to everything. In reality, there is one thing, not many, one event, not many. It is handy to pretend that there is a separate you–in other words, it is useful to HAVE a separate self, just as you have any other useful idea, but when you mistake the idea for the reality you create all kinds of suffering for yourself, and for others.

    I would suggest DOUBTING all your ideas, and especially the idea lf “me.”

  32. Michael says:

    Hello,
    I’ve been using Holosync for 3 months now and have started to realize how angry I am with my family. I’m the youngest, aged 45 and I finally see that my two brothers have been as thick as thieves all these years, while I never had a chance to fit in.
    Although I never really bothered about it before because I wasn’t close, I now am bothered about it. I feel like I can see what the relationships are now and I resent them.
    My relationship with my wife has gone downhill since I started this programme too and we have to get out of our home in October.
    I wonder if Holosync has brought these feelings to the surface and will they be resolved? Even I think it’s to much of a coincidence.

    M.K

    FROM BILL: Holosync makes you more aware. When you become more aware, a certain amount of what you become aware of is the negative shit you’ve repressed and disowned. Now it might seem like a good thing that is was repressed, but it isn’t, because when it’s repressed it expresses itself anyway, but in a covert and dysfunctional way. Becoming aware of it allows it to “mature,” as Zen master Genpo Roshi says, from something that creates suffering for you and for others into something beneficial.

    What you need to do at this point is to watch all these feelings very carefully. Pretend that you’re a scientist, and you’ve been waiting for this to happen so you could observe it. Just paying attention to how the feelings appear in your body–where, in what way, to what degree–will create a huge shift, but in addition to that also observe what you say to yourself while you are having them (or before you have them), and what internal pictures happen before and during them.

    There is a direct, causative connection between your internal dialog and the pictures you make inside, and what feelings are created. Your feelings are created by your internal representations. Right now these internal representations happpen automatically in response to certain triggers (something triggers you into thinking about your family, for instance, which starts a chain reaction of internal representations). The thing is, you have a choice about what internal representations to make, IF you are aware enough. If you see yourself making the internal representations that cause you to feel resentful, and doing that doesn’t serve you, you won’t be able to keep doing it. If, though, you are UNaware of what you’re doing (which is the case with almost everyone), some pre-set way of making these IRs will just run automatically.

    So when you become aware of HOW you are creating the feelings, and you watch yourself do it, as it happens, you just can’t keep doing it. Any enthusiasm or motivation to keep doing it just falls away. This is the main value of Holosync–it makes you more aware. At first it seems that this awareness is just of a lot of stuff you don’t want to be aware of–the stuff you’ve disowned or repressed. But this stuff is affecting you anyway, and because it’s repressed it affects you much more negatively. Watch it with awareness and it matures into something good.

    So the feelings you have about your family are something you DO, and you do them by the IRs you make. Make them unconsciously and automatically and you’ll probably keep making the same ones and keep having the same feelings. Become aware of how you make them, and the feelings will probably stop happening. The same with your problems with your wife: how you feel and how you behave originate inside your head, with certain internal processes (most of which involve IRs). Most people do all of this without awareness, which is why they keep creating the same problems over and over. Do it with awareness, though, and you find it impossible to keep doing it, IF it doesn’t serve you.

    So, yes, this stuff will resolve itself. The more you are able to step aside and watch it, with awareness, as if you were keenly curious about it all, the faster that will happen. I will tell you that whatever happens will be SO worth it, as you will see. Have you taken advantage of our support staff? I highly recommend it. 503 672 7117 between 9:30 and 5:00 Pacific time, M-F.

  33. Michael Kay says:

    Hello Bill,
    Well, I’ve been trying to be the watcher for years now and it’s not making any difference for me. The same as when Eckart Tolle says watch your breath. If I’m doing it wrong then I’d like to learn how to do it right as I know it’s worth every effort!

    Thanks and best wishes,
    Michael.

    FROM BILL: Watching means being aware of something. When you are aware of something, you have choice about it. Don’t get so balled up in trying to get somewhere with it. The idea here is that there are certain things you do automatically and unconsciously, and as long as you do them without awareness, they’ll keep happening in the same way, automatically. In that case, you keep getting the same results. If you weren’t aware of your body, it would move automatically, and you wouldn’t have any choice about how you move. You are aware of your body, though, so you can choose to move it in certain ways. A trained athlete is probably MORE aware of his or her body that you are, and can move it more skillfully–ie, with more choice.

    If you’re like most people, you are only partly aware of your emotions, and probably totally unaware of what YOU DO inside to create them (make certain internal representations that then lead to certain feelings). So, you need to observe your internal representations, the pictures you make in your head and what you say to yourself, and see how these things create your feelings. Until you do that, your feelings will “just happen.” But watch how you DO your feelings, and you’ll gain choice over them.

    The same with your thoughts. Become more aware of them, and you’ll have more choice about them. You’ll begin to notice when you are focusing on what you don’t want, which leads to bad feelings, a loss of motivation, and taking actions that usually aren’t resourceful. When you become aware of and watch your thoughts, you gain choice over them. Since your thoughts create your world this is a pretty good thing to have choice over.

    Watching your breath when meditating is great practice. Part of doing so is noticing when you aren’t focused on your breath, when your attention goes to your thoughts, your body, or something you hear. Noticing that is witnessing.

    Quit worrying about whatever you think is supposed to happen and just watch.

    Well I am really puzzled. I have been using HS for 10 months now and absolutely nothing has happened! Zero. Nada.
    considering this cd cost me $200.00 I am very disappointed. Support just keeps saying keep using it. Well after 10 months don’t you think that something would have changed?
    VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!

    FROM BILL: I understand your discouragement and disappointment. This, however, isn’t the forum to address this (in an extended answer to your post). I would suggest that you find the Special Report we sent you as part of the support letters entitled How to Tell If Something is Happening. That may give you some insight. If you call support, ask for Marc Gilson, who is director of customer service.

    Not knowing you, anything I say is speculation, but the usual reasons for this are 1) reality not intersecting with expectations–expecting something that doesn’t happen; 2) a strong connection between the way you organize your world (your beliefs, ideas, premises, emotional strategies) and your feelings of safety–if you strongly need to hang onto your current way of navigating the world (because there was significant emotional–or even physical–danger in your childhood), you may successfully resist the changes that are trying to happen (which is why they say keep going, because Holosync will “win” eventually because it’s stronger than your ability to resist); or, plenty is happening, but you just don’t see it–this is VERY common, culmunating in a sudden realization that all along things were happening and why couldn’t I see it? (I have received many letters from people telling me this.

    Go find that Special Report (it might also be on our website–I don’t remember) and call Marc. I want you to succeed with this.
