1. Welcome to Issue #116 (June 16, 2003) of MIND CHATTER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. In the last couple of months we've gone to a format where the Mind
Chatter issue on the first of the month is a shorter version, with
just an article or question and answer session with me, and the
mid-month Mind Chatter is a full issue. This is in response to many
people telling me there was just too much to read.
I would love to have your feedback on any parts of Mind Chatter you
especially like or don't like, so I'll know if perhaps it's a good
idea to cut something out or have more of something else. I want Mind
Chatter to give you the greatest benefit possible, but I need your
feedback.

4. Life Principles Integration Process - Telecourse:
We have had the first two calls of my Life Principles Integration
Process Telecourse, which are on the first and third Mondays of each
month. but you can still participate, because the calls are posted
online and can be listened to through audio streaming or downloaded.
But you'll have to hurry to catch up. The third call will be on July
7, so you do have some time.
Here's what to do if you are interested. Listen to the online version
of the free intro call I did on May 5th by going to:
http://www.centerpointe.com/preview/call
There are instructions on the call for how to sign up for the whole course.
By the way, the day after the call, we were flooded with people
phoning to say how valuable the information I shared on the call was
for them. So, if you're even slightly interested in receiving even
more in-depth help than I can give in Mind Chatter with the process
of looking at each part of your internal map of reality, figuring out
what results it's currently creating in your life, and then making
the changes necessary for you to begin creating exactly what you
WANT--please, go listen to the free call, and if there are still
spots available (there are still some left as I write this), sign up
for the course itself.
Here's a couple of letters I received:
This was the best talk that I have heard on this subject. It was better
than when I read it in your book. Its possible that it finally just came
together. I have been reading and re-reading this part in your book.
I had the belief that setting goals was just setting one's self up for more
suffering.
I'm really excited about what's to come. I just read an article about the
woman who wanted to be buried with a fork in her hand because her
grandmother had always told her to keep her fork because the part was yet to
come. I'm holding my fork.

It was a terrific seminar; I learned more about myself--my behaviors,
my trips, than I thought possible in an hour; and, yes, I am
enrolled; anyone who doesn't jump into this -- happily -- with feet
first is (to be as blunt as only I can be) nuts. My years with
Centerpointe and Holosync have been the wildest best years of my
life; I've unearthed so much about myself, overcome more, struggled,
fought, wept, laughed and have congratulated myself over and over for
my courage and honesty to face not only who I am but my very real
fears based on who I might become (am I strong enough for success,
the future, a better life, etc.); I am still seeing a therapist and I
am still taking Zoloft (once a day); I am handling a history of
childhood abuse, teacher abuse, overwhelming angers, feelings of
unworthiness, depressions, manias -- I'm sure the list is familiar to
so many of use in the Centerpointe program; and I am handling it all
-- with kindness, awareness, love and respect; your statement in last
night's seminar that the stuff of our childhood is not our
choice/doing (a statement that removed the dreadful stigma and guilt
I carry of believing that I have somehow chosen my messed up life)
was not only a revelation but a gift of the finest kind; thank you;
if the courses over the next many months are half as fruitful then I
am sure I will be ready to sack Rome and write the Great American
Novel. Bill, I couldn't be more grateful; I feel something like the
Billy Crystal character in "City Slickers" -- he ran off to cow
country to get his smile back; I've stopped running from myself and
wow! there it is -- big as life and just as pretty.
Best, Chris L.
I hope you'll be a part of this telecourse. I know you will benefit
greatly. --Bill

11. Improve Your Relationship
by best-selling authors Kathlyn and Gay Hendricks, creators of
ATTRACTING GENUINE LOVE and other cyber-courses on transformation.
RELATIONSHIP QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
QUESTION:
I am 47, divorced 2x with other relationships in my past. I have a
history of allowing physical chemistry to draw me into relationships
with men who I knew were not right for me -- not bad or unhealthy in
an abusive way, but not really a good fit but for that very reason,
safe in that I would never experience true emotional intimacy with
them.
I recently met a man who seems appropriate for me on all levels -- he
is emotionally self aware and available, he is smart, cultured,
down-to-earth , we enjoy many of the same activities and values ....
but I feel no chemistry. I am not turned off, but feel very neutral
in terms of desiring physical intimacy with him. We have been
together (dates) 6 or 7 times and reading my mixed signals, he has
not pushed me, so we have done nothing more than kiss. Can physical
attraction develop over time (assuming he gives me the time)? I'm
aware I may be more afraid of getting into what would be a healthy
relationship than I thought I was, and I am working on that. At the
same time I would like to give this relationship a chance. How honest
should I be with him?
ANSWER:
Hi, Amy,
I'll start with your last sentence: if you have read any of our
books, you know that we advocate telling the truth always and all
ways. So, I encourage you to be authentic with your new friend, to
share your fears, desires, fantasies and history. Find out if an
authentic relationship between creative equals is the kind of
relationship you both want. Everybody has fears and issues that
surface from the past when encountering a true chance of intimacy,
comes with the package. No need to make yourself wrong for this. Yes,
people can develop physical intimacy at any time in the course of a
relationship. I am struck, however, by your use of the word
appropriate. Nobody ever swooned over someone appropriate. I would
wonder about where you learned that concept and what kind of
relationship YOU want on all levels: physical, emotional, spiritual,
financial, intellectual.
RELATIONSHIP TIPS:
HOW LOVE BRINGS OUR ISSUES TO THE SURFACE
It is because of the closeness and the possibility of love in
relationships that our issues emerge. Although many of us blame our
relationship problems on a lack of love, it is actually the love in
the relationship that has brought forth the issues.
A close relationship is a powerful light force, and like any strong
light it casts a large shadow. When you stand in the light of a close
relationship, you must learn to deal with the shadow.
Most of us arrive at our adult relationships with a backlog of
ancient hurts, fears, and angers. The source of these wounds has
often been forgotten, so that it looks like our current relationships
are causing us to hurt. When in fact, in our current relationships we
have the opportunity to clear up and free ourselves of these patterns
From the past.
Tragically, some of our clients have told us that they simply don't
want to participate in close relationships anymore, out of their fear
of being hurt and their lack of knowledge about how to deal with what
comes up as they get close.
Remember, the process of life is about bringing us closer to
ourselves and to others. If you do not use relationships as a path to
your full evolution, you are cheating yourself.
IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE SO ALREADY, please take a look at our #1
Relationships Help Course.

13. This Issue's Feature Article
True Awakening
by Bill Harris
How can you tell if "true awakening" has happened for you? What should you
expect?
This question comes up at Centerpointe -- several times each hour --
From people calling on our Support Hotline. From the many books they
have read and gurus and teachers they have visited, people have many
ideas about what awakening is, how it happens, and what to expect.
Is it Choirs of Angels visiting you in meditation? Is it out-of-body
experiences?
Yogic powers? The voice of God? Levitation? The complete cessation of
desire? A feeling of Oneness with everything? Or is it piles of money
appearing on your front lawn whenever you need cash?
Here's what I think it is -- and is not. This opinion is free and worth every
penny.
I don't think being awake has much to do with mystical experiences,
though you may have some. Many people have mystical experiences
without being "awake." In fact, I had many more of them
"pre-awakening" than "post-awakening". They were interesting,
entertaining, sometimes awe-inspiring, sometimes scary. Some of the
most screwed up people I know are always having "mystical"
experiences. Some mystical experiences are hallucinations, some are
real. But what good does it do to see visions of Heaven if the rest
of your life is suffering? If you have them, great; if not, don't
worry about it. They're only good as a confidence builder that
something is happening, that there's more to the universe than you
can see, and as momentary entertainment.
The same could be said for OOB experiences. Many people call us
seeking to get out of their body (there is one sure-fire way -- it's
called 'dying'), and I'm
never sure exactly what they are really after. For some, it's
entertainment, the
same thing that makes hallucinogenics attractive to some people. For
others, it means they are so unhappy with their life they want an
altered state rather than real life. Some seek secrets from another
dimension, but I'm here to tell you that all the secrets are
available in this dimension, too. It's just that most
people don't like them when they hear them because they don't offer
an effortless way to get out of their pain.
And once you leave your body, unless you want death, you've got to come back
(even if you die, you're probably coming back). It's right here on
earth, in this
world, in this body, in this life, that you need to make it happen. You might
want to escape, but eventually you have to come to terms with the
fact that THERE IS NO ESCAPE!
Your real lessons are going to happen right here, in this dimension. Sorry.
Some people think enlightenment, awakening, is desirelessness. It's true that
desire causes suffering (this is the second of Buddha's 4 Noble
Truths), but more properly we should say that attachment to what you
desire (rather than the desire itself) is the cause of suffering. It
is the nature of the mind to create
desires, and if you have none something is haywire in your mind (the
same can be said for thoughts, for those of you who want to have a
"no mind" state where there are no thoughts). The secret is to let
the mind do what it does (you really have no choice) but to be
unattached to what the mind creates.
What does this mean, to be unattached? It means you have a desire,
but instead of being addicted to its fulfillment -- which causes
suffering if the desire is not met -- the desire assumes the role of
a preference. A preference is something you want, but you do not
suffer over if you do not get it.
Upgrading attachments to preferences happens naturally as you use the
Centerpointe program. It is a function of developing the witnessing state, that
part of you that stands aside and watches whatever is happening with
curiosity, but without evaluation.
When attachments become preferences, you can pursue them just as avidly as
before, but it becomes more of a game. You go for it, and you either get it or
you don't, but either outcome is okay, and then you just go on to whatever is
next. You don't suffer over the results. The irony is that in not
being attached
to the outcome (attached in the sense of creating suffering if you are not
successful), you become much more effective in getting what you want.
This is one big reason why those who are "awake" seem to be able to
manifest whatever they want or need in the world.
So one big part of being awake is not being attached to the desires your mind
creates.
Is being awake a "Oneness" with everything? I would say, yes, it is. But
remember, you are already One with everything (remember the old joke
about the seeker who asked the hot dog vendor to make him one with
everything? Never mind). You cannot be otherwise than One with
everything. It is only a mistaken impression that you are separate.
That's why they call it self-realization. It's not that you achieve
something when you become "awakened" -- you come to realize what is
already true.
In fact, having your attachments (which are, remember, the cause of suffering)
become preferences happens because you begin to experientially know
you are one with everything. Knowing that you are One with
everything, you don't have to be attached to anything (it would like
being "attached" to your leg -- it's already you and you don't have
to do anything to make it be more "you" than it already is). Instead,
you realize the unfolding of the universe is happening in its own way
and is being guided by something much bigger than you, and all you
have to do is go along for the ride -- kind of like white water
rafting.
Now I realize telling you to make your attachments into preferences is like
telling you to fly. It's not something you can volitionally do (in
fact, wanting
it just becomes another attachment). So here's the secret (don't tell): as you
develop the witness perspective, you automatically become less
attached, without even trying. To do that, keep meditating. To do it
much, much faster, meditate with Holosync.
So here's my description of being "awake." The awake person is not at
odds with the world. She is a part of it, but not attached to the
outcome. She watches as it all goes by, but she is also a
participant. She knows most people are caught in the world and asleep
to that fact, so she does what she can to help others through their
suffering.
To her, the world and life is like playing a part in a play. She
knows it is just
a role, but she plays it to the hilt, and enjoys every moment. But she also
realizes the script is just a script, and it doesn't matter what part has been
written for her. She exerts a certain amount of control over her part, but does
not have total control because her effort is just one of an infinite number of
other efforts, all with their own ends in mind. Mainly, she watches
as she plays her part and marvels at the complexity, the infinite
permutations, the surprises, and the certainties. She is calm most of
the time, but sometimes her part requires her to be upset, or to have
some other emotion or reaction. Such is being human. But whatever her
mood, there is an underlying peace of mind, an underlying, effortless
happiness.
She is in the world, but not of it, floating along, playing her part,
enjoying the ride, watching with awe as it all unfolds.
You can be this way, too. It does not happen overnight, but it can
happen. Using The Holosync Solution program is not the only way it
can happen, but it is a very good, and very fast way for it to
happen. If you're already part of the
Centerpointe world, keep going. It gets better and better. If you've
not yet taken the plunge, I invite you to dive in and get wet. The
water's warm, and I know your be impressed with what happens.
Be well.

14. Glowing Testimonials and Letters
Hi Bill,
Eric Robins here. Just wanted to take a moment to say hi. I am
almost done with Awakening Level 1, and have absolutely loved it. I
have noticed my stress threshold decreased by about 70%, and this is
particularly noticeable in my surgical practice where things can get
quite busy and hectic very quickly. I've turned a number of docs in
my medical center on to holosync, and they have all been uniformly
impressed. In fact, I just got credit for referring my 20th person
to CRI (actually, there have been many more, but I didn't document
them all.)
Best,
Eric
*
A letter Gay Hendricks received and forwarded to me:
Dear Gay,
On the recommendation from a mailing from yourself and Katie, I
decided to try Holosync as well. I began 2 months ago and have
meditated daily using it. I had tried to meditate using various other
methods for years but never felt very successful. Steven is a long time
TM meditator and is faithful to daily practice. I ignored my meditation
pillow/space - always thinking "tomorrow!." Now, it's the first thing
that I do every day - 7 days a week. If someone had ever told me that
I'd be sitting for an hour a day, ignoring my mile long "gotta do" list,
I'd have never believed it.
Thank you so much for your recommendation. I truly appreciate it.
All the more so because what Bill says in his book/CD's is so very
aligned with what Katie and yourself teach.
love and hugs
Terry
**
Another one Gay passed along to me:
Gay,
Getting your email about holosync this morning sparked me to add my
endorsement. Stephen and I have been meditating with it for the last
6 months and have experienced great leaps forward in focusing,
creativity, emotional regulation, calmness and great relationship
harmony. We've both been mediating for a couple of decades and these
last 6 months have brought profound shifts. Thanks again for telling
me about it. I've referred many people to it myself.
Love,
Suzanne
**
Hi Nancy,
I received the new CD and I want to thank you. I also ordered the
next Level which is (I think) the first of Flowering. I still have a
few months to finish level 4 and now I am starting to feel very
different about my life. I am glad that I continued with it because I
can see clearly how I have been creating my life through my thoughts
and believes. I have been placing myself in job situations where I
don't really want to be in (like the one I didn't want to take last
year if you remember ) and it feels so great to know deep within that
we CAN choose to do something or choose NOT to, it is just OK to have
this freedom. Give Bill for me a big hug for his contribution in the
CREATION of what my life is now. What a wonderful discovery I have
made, that we are all here to CREATE, and that, combined with
detachment from outcomes, we have a recipe for a very happy life.
Thank you Nancy, Bill and everyone at Centerpointe from the deepest
bottom of my heart.
With much much love
From Valentina
**
Hello Bill. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to answer
my questions regarding Holosync. You have contributed a HUGE amount
to my personal growth and I have been able to help others as a
result. I feel like you are my friend even though we have never met.
This means a lot. Keep up the good work.
Love, Jody.

15. Book Review
By Marc Gilson
The Inward Morning
A Philosophical Exploration in Journal Form
By Henry Bugbee, Edward F. Mooney, (Introduction)
1958, 1976 Henry Bugbee
1999 University of Georgia Press
***If you would like to read more about or order this book click here:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0820320714/centerpointer-20
Philosophy is an odd occupation. For most of us, it's not a vocation
as much as an occasional exercise in intense thinking. It's novel,
out-of-the-norm, something wise people in ancient Greece did. And
then there were those clever German thinkers, British empiricists,
and of course the "lively" existentialists. But I'd like to suggest
that we're all philosophers, regardless of education, age, or
occupation. We all have ideas and beliefs about life, and because
we've (hopefully) given some thought to these beliefs and grapple
with their impact, we do qualify--at least as far as I'm
concerned--as philosophers.
Until I happened upon Henry Bugbee's "The Inward Morning," I tended
to think of philosophy as the specialty of those who were classically
educated and had a lot of time on their hands. Philosophy, in its
most distinguished (and therefore "legitimate" form) happened among
old, wise people, often smoking pipes, furrowing their brows, and
glaring over the tops of their reading glasses at the abstruse
meanings of words and the complexities of ethics. I admit it was a
stereotypical picture. But Henry Bugbee changed that for me. He me
showed something much more human and accessible regarding philosophy.
"The Inward Morning" is often called "a book of philosophy written as
a journal." But it's really much more than that. It's not a "finished
product" of genius, but rather a glimpse into the actual process of
philosophy itself. It's a documentary of discovery. Each entry is a
snapshot--not of a school of thought or theory--but of a man's effort
to unravel and explore the mysteries of himself and his world on a
day-to-day basis.
First published in 1958, "The Inward Morning," is an amazing work.
Often compared to Thoreau's "Walden," "The Inward Morning," is a
philosophical exploration inspired by nature, and guided by a search
for balance in heart and mind. Huston Smith called it "the most
Taoist Western book I know." It has been both an underground
philosophical gem and a staple of contemporary thought among
professional and lay philosophers alike. Essentially, it is Bugbee's
personal journal, from August of 1952 through November 1953. As a
Harvard professor of philosophy (and later professor emeritus of
philosophy at the University of Montana), Bugbee is no stranger to
deep thought. But his writing reaches beyond the usual confines of
the university classroom. Bugbee is a man who seems to think best
outdoors. And so it is fitting that Bugbee composes his work in the
open, in the wilderness, both figuratively and literally. But what is
the advantage of a philosopher publishing a book of his journal
entries? Bugbee points out in the Preface:
"The present day--that is the dwelling of meditative thought.
Consequently this work is in journal form. Not because it is a
philosophical notebook or diary; it is neither of these. It is
basically a work which required to be done within the day, from the
actual human stance which the day might afford, whatever that day
might bring."
To read "The Inward Morning," is not to read about philosophy, but to
watch it happen. Bugbee is remarkably candid in voicing his doubts
and uncertainties, and with that willing "beginner's mind," he takes
a wondrous journey of the mind and heart. Bugbee is a participant in
his own philosophy, a witness to his own process and product. Here,
he refers to the often unspoken challenges of personal development:
"It is sobering to experience the extraordinary difficulty of coming
to grips with one's own beliefs, and yet also to suspect that one can
say nothing worth saying that must not stem from what he believes in
his heart."
Nature is the backdrop to Bugbee's thinking. From day to day, Bugbee
reports on various aspects of the dynamic natural elements around
him. From these things, he draws his inspiration, fueling his mind
under a clear awareness of the influences of his own environment:
"Last night the humidity kept dropping, the air cooling off, and a
full moon rose - The effect of this day, and of Beethoven's Opus 135,
to which I have just listened, is to make me conscious that the
readiness to receive is all. Without that what can be given?"
Bugbee's lyricism does not detract from the depth of his work. This
is not meandering prose. At times, Bugbee is intently focused; a man
deep in his work, attempting to convey for us some sense of the
point-and-counterpoint happening within him. He draws on a diverse
range, from Hume, Spinoza, Plato, to Zen (Bugbee traveled with famed
Buddhist teacher D.T. Suzuki during the latter's lecture tour in New
England, and the two struck up a lasting friendship). Indeed, Bugbee
has sometimes been called an "American Zen existentialist."
However history decides to categorize Bugbee, "The Inward Morning"
remains a masterfully deep, beautiful, and accessible document of one
man's journey of the mind and heart.

16. Important Announcements (and I do mean important):
1. We have changed the name of the Centerpointe program from The End
Personal growth through Technology to The Holosync Solution. Same
program--though we are always making improvements, and I'll have some
important ones to announce soon--just a different name.
Because we have so much literature with the old name, and because
tossing them would be expensive and I don't want to have to pass such
costs on to you, it is possible that those of you in the program may
get literature for a while with the old name on it.
2. My new book, Thresholds of the Mind, is now in its second
printing, and I'd like to you to own a copy, read it, and benefit
From it. I have found that those who read the book have some
tremendous "ah ha's" about their life and how they can do something
to make it one of happiness, inner peace and success.
Here are some comments about Thresholds of the Mind from some
prominent personal growth leaders:
"In Thresholds of the Mind, Bill Harris offers a creative and
practical new twist on why we suffer, and how, despite our
resistance, we can attain deep happiness and inner peace, regardless
of our past or present conditions. Thresholds of the Mind will
benefit anyone interested in creating dramatic and powerful positive
change."
Jack Canfield , Co-author of the #1 New York Times best-selling
Chicken Soup for the Soul series.

"In this remarkable post-modern work, transcendence and technology
are joined in unique and potent ways. There is much to ponder here as
we advance our understanding of the inherent genius of our mind-body
systems and the new ways to tap the potential within us all. Harris
brings together hitherto divided and distinguished worlds-science and
consciousness-to enable the evolution of our species in these most
challenging of times."
Jean Houston Ph.D
Author of 17 books including Jump Time, protege of anthropologist
Margaret mead, co-seminar leader with mythologist Joseph Campbell,
past-president of the Association of Humanistic Psychology,
co-director of the Foundation for Mind Research

"For many years Kathlyn and I have taught that the central problem
human beings face is what we call the Upper Limits problem-the
tendency to settle below the threshold of what is possible to
achieve. Bill Harris not only understands this problem, he has
created an ingenious technology for breaking through it, With the
remarkable Holosync audio technology developed at Centerpointe
Research Institute, all of us can now learn to live at a new and
higher level of functioning. Do yourself a huge favor by reading
Thresholds of the Mind and working with Holosync audio technology."
Gay Hendricks, Ph.D. author of CONSCIOUS LIVING and co-author (with
Dr. Kathlyn Hendricks ) of CONSCIOUS LOVING President, The Hendricks
Institute

"Bill Harris comes from deep personal experience with healing and
consciousness. Thresholds of the Mind is truly inspiring and filled
with profound wisdom. Holosync is the perfect addition to other
growth and spiritual processes."
Margaret Paul, Ph.D. author/coauthor of Do I Have To Give Up Me To Be
Loved By You?, Healing Your Aloneness, Inner Bonding, and Do I Have
To Give Up Me To Be Loved By God?

"With a loving heart, Bill Harris guides us to the thresholds of the
mind. This remarkable book is not only a profound tool for healing.
It is also an invitation to explore the mystical interface between
technology and the soul."
Daphne Rose Kingma , author of The Future of Love, Heart & Soul, and
Coming Apart

3. Six Months of Growth in Just 5 Days? Impossible?
NOT!
That is, not if you sign up for the next Centerpointe retreat. Our
upcoming retreat will be at Breitenbush Hot Springs in Oregon, and
starts on June 30.
We filled the last two US retreats without even sending out a
promotional letter, so if you have a big issue you'd like to
eliminate, or just want to take your growth to the next level, don't
wait--call Centerpointe and sign up today. Otherwise, you may find
this retreat sold out and you'll be out of luck! Don't delay--The
Breitenbush Retreat is almost full.
What if it doesn't work for you?
No problem. We GUARANTEE results! If, at the end of the retreat, you
don't think it was 'as advertised'--and more --we'll refund your
money!
You do not need to be a program participant to attend (though most
people who attend are). (And if you're not a program participant, why
the heck aren't you? Quit procrastinating and join.) Click here for
