Eckhart Tolle “A New Earth”
This books talks about illusion of ego causing separation from humanity being a cause for our suffering. Power of consciousness as a transformation for evolution of humanity. The real revolution is evolution of consciousness as rising of consciousness is a way to new earth. Our planet is already heaven on earth and only those living not consciously can not embrace the new earth. Unconscious reactions to people, situations keep us at state of lower energies in process reinforcing ego fear mechanism. He suggests practicing meditation as a way to attain self awareness, inner piece to awaken consciousness vs. ego.
The book describes how subconscious conditioning create a collective ego keeping people trapped repeating same old ways. Eckhart Tolle calls upon people to create a new earth through conscious co creation, participation by state of being, sharing love for collective conscious awakening.
Dr. Joe Dispenza “Breaking Habit of Being Yourself”
Dr. Dispenza is a neuroscientist, spiritual guide who merges science with spirituality. His books, videos make even most logical people grasp spirituality from scientific perspective. In this particular book he talks about a power of consciousness as a phenomenon that can bring major neurological changes affecting us on physical, emotional, mind levels. He refers to consciousness as a state when billions of neurons fire up simultaneously in our brain. That state can be achieved through slowing brain waves from beta, alpha, theta, delta for example with brain cycles per second decreasing we get more coherent neurons communication. Different brain waves cause an experience to shift through different states that are described more thoroughly in his book. Dr. Dispenza says that neurons that wire together fire together.
In order to change our neuro hardware or neuro wiring we must improve our neuro plasticity(communication network). Our neuro chemistry can be improved through learning, new habits, practices. Learning is making new connections in a brain and practicing is putting those connections to work. Most people operate from habitual state in which body learned better than mind. It keeps them trapped on subconscious level by mind giving away most control to old ways of a body. Dr. Dispenza mentions certain healing meditation practices that will develope new connections in our brain and rewire neural hardware for more optimal performance to keep body, mind, emotions in check. Book mentions importance of emotional state as an influence on genes. Since our body cells have electro magnetic receptors they are responsive to state of emotions we experience, that can influence our genetic design even on molecular level.
Therefore how we see, experience life can change our physical state of being. Dr. Dispenza believes in quantum physics reality which is changing effect rather than traditional Newtonian science of predicting future. In order to manifest or attract something in our lives we must believe and become that. It is mentioned in the book ow we vibrate in and out of quantum field as a particles from manifest currents. Therefore being conscious of what we think, feel, experience can manifest desired changes in our lives. One phrase that sticks in my mind from the book the most is that you do not attract what you want but rather what you are.. calling us to become that what we want to attract in to our lives.
Dr. Swanson’s “Life Force, the Scientific Basis”
Dr. Swanson’s best-selling book, “Life Force, the Scientific Basis” explains the revolutionary science behind long distance healing, science behind the aura and the acupuncture system, energy that is key to growth and life responsible for paranormal phenomena and Oriental medicine. It describes the energy of Torsion, the basis of long distance energy healing, Chinese medicine, Reiki, Qi Gong and the secret energy that makes life and growth possible.
Dr. Swanson’s book with over 700 pages, 2000 references and 400 figures is the most comprehensive scientific description and explanation of this subject. He refers to a torsion field as energy serving as the bridge between the familiar phenomena of conventional Western physics and the more unusual and esoteric phenomena such as ESP, PK, teleportation, levitation, Remote Viewing and distant energy healing. Dr. Swanson’s research has focused on the nature of this energy – how healers create it and use it, how our laws of nature are altered by it, where modern science meets new age wisdom. This energy is the key to a science of consciousness, key to many new forms of healing.It is concentrated in ley lines (energy system) of our planet, at “sacred sites” and megalithic formations, and is responsible for the unusual feelings and phenomena in crop circles and in Egyptian pyramids.
The book “Life Force” explains how they create their unique effects with torsion energy. According to research by other scientists and Dr. Swanson torsion field is produced by a change in a structure of an atom or change of a particle spin. Bio photons are coherent electro magnetic signals produced by DNA in communication create our bio field on the inside while torsion field is on the outside of our bodies.Torsion can be thought of as a “spin wave” which propagates through space. In Chinese medicine subtle energy is known as “yin” and “yang.” German scientist Von Reichenbach called them “negative” and “positive” od. Russian scientists call this “left” and “right” handed torsion. The book explores its use in sacred sites to generate unique spiritual environments, music, fragrance, emotion, and the power of shape and sound (yantra and mantra) are explored. Dr. Swanson calls it new “science of consciousness” as his book explores these various aspects of subtle energy and the way they connect our awareness to higher dimensional consciousness and contact with spirit.
“Truth vs Falsehood” by David Hawkins
Book focuses on David Hawkins interpretation of consciousness as he maps it and puts it in to meanings for readers to understand. Spiritual discovery advances with rising level of human consciousness. According to the writer consciousness is the unlimited, omnipresent, universal energy field, carrier wave, and reservoir of all information available in the universe and is the very essence of the capacity to know or experience. It was also discovered that humans were attuned to a specific level of consciousness by a combination of inherited propensity plus the consequence of choices made by the will over long periods of time. Thought, emotion, action produce an experience that can be referred to as karma or learning cycle of a consciouss being. He rates historical events, humans, thoughts, emotions, species for example by specific levels of consciousness in this book. Unlike his other book “Power vs Force” in which he describes unity, love vs separation, fear producing consequent affects, “Truth vs Falshood” is more specific in explaining consciousness and how everything alive around us including humans calibrates on different levels of that invisible field. He refers to kinesiology as a muscle testing a way to discern between truth vs falshood. Consciousness field keeps a recording that can be accessed through a few-second technique of testing changes in muscle strength in response to a stimulus, such as simply making a statement or envisioning a substance, object, person, or location. That which is “true” is recognized by the field of consciousness and thereby energizes the muscle to resist the challenge of applied pressure. That which is “not true” is not recognized by the field of consciousness and thereby does not energize the muscle to resist the challenge of applied pressure. Consciousness instantly discerns truth from falsehood.
Sadhguru “Inner Engineering”
Sahguru is a philosopher, teacher on subjects of self awareness, yoga. His work resembles Osho but perhaps less philosophical and more practical. In this book he talks about modern world filling our minds with stress and pressure that it is making people insane. In order to regain sanity he proposes certain inner engineering practices through yoga, eating healthy, being at peace. According to Sadhguru a consciousness is a state of space between body and mind that can direct your thoughts, emotions, body to organize.Everything in the universe can be seen as just one energy. Separation is a myth. He proposes different types of yoga including Kriya yoga as a way for spiritual evolution to attain unity of physical, psychological, emotional processes. Book talks about illusion of time, space creating fear, anxiety for people that can be transformed by focusing on the present moment. It is your inner being that holds universe with in, which is a key out of blaming outside circumstances, people, destiny. Sadhguru calls connecting to inner being as a way to designing, changing our life, destiny.
