The mind has hidden powers and the infinite potential of the subconscious is amazing. For a person to develop new dimensions, there has been a program introduced into this world of tomorrow with it's promise of self-fulfillment on a plane never before conceived by man. Someday we will all recognize that whatever the human mind can visualize, it can achieve with knowledge and faith. The world of inner space begins and ends within the individual, as he is his own guide and healer. He can make himself ill or well, happy or bored, resentful or exalted, productive or stagnant. "The miracle of sub-conscious meditation and visualization provide him with the tools to establish contact within himself at his deepest level and develop an inner awareness and calm that make the boundless universe his unspoken ally. For the first time, man, in achieving self-mastery, may know what it is to truly become the master of his own fate and the captain of his soul". This is a statement made by Dr. Jess Stern in his book "The power of alpha thinking- Miracle of the mind", an impressive study of the mind and its miraculous powers. Dr. John Balog says, "We are now able to teach the average person to school his own muscle response, regulate his blood flow, and manipulate his own brain-waves to suit his own singular advantage". With this new awareness, we can see our selves clearly and readily influence our own behavior, applying this technique to a variety of ailments from gastronomical disorders to regaining muscle control after being paralyzed.. The alpha brain wave is initially observed in the occipital or posterior brain region, usually associated with vision. Due to the fact that these waves have been observed at other surface locations in the brain, we may conclude that Alpha is the borderline between conscious and sub-conscious activity. Problem solving, a conscious activity, is usually associated with rapid, low voltage brain waves, commonly called Beta waves. These are read in cycles per second, ranging from thirteen to as high as forty cycles. The slower, higher voltage patterns known as Delta and Theta are associated with sub-conscious activity and are often mingled with the Alpha: Alpha being associated with creativity, dreams and sleep. In training for the Alpha-Theta state, students seek to achieve the same creativity reported by scientists who appear to be dozing. Biofeedback training is used for specifically measuring these results in an average Alpha course. Biofeedback, a useful tool in psycho-therapy, has been effectively related to specific instances of self-help, With this training which aids in deliberate production of brain-waves, many people have been helped, not only with their ailments, but in areas of solving psychological problems and improving creativity. At times, a combination of three biofeedback devises has been used to help people with insomnia, epilepsy, and chronic pain, bladder control, grinding of teeth, hypertension and a host of other maladies. As the multitudes achieve control over their minds and bodies, there will be a decrease in stress-related illness and a widespread improvement in general well being. This will result in the drop-off in the reliance of people on drugs and alcohol. In time there will be the development of devises to monitor cell growth and through personal mental control, possible arrests of cancerous tissue may be obtained. There is also the possibility that the implantation of catheters in the veins to measure blood pressure will aid the detection and control of diabetes. Stress and high blood cholesterol levels could also be rectified by this method. In a remarkable test, a young female was able to detect a large cancerous mass present within an unknown woman by knowing only the subjects age and sex. She accounts for this remarkable insight as a result of being in control of her inner awareness of the sub-conscious mind. This was an exercise in developing her Alpha waves. We ask ourselves why being in Alpha should make us psychic or broaden the scope of the mind. In order to understand the powers involved, one must experience this for his or herself in order to accept it. The entire training session is purported to take four days or about forty hours. The course is designed to make us super aware of our psychological and physical capacities as well as those of others. Some of the ailments checked by Alpha thinking range from weight control to memory improvement and the easing of tension. In talking together we are in Beta, and see each other as we seem to be. If we delved into the deeper layers of our own mind, into the Alpha levels, we would see each other as we really are. This is just a matter of tuning into the right frequency. By going within yourself and finding out who you are at the sub-conscious state, deepening the levels through meditation and visualization, you are more likely to find the perfect self within- beautiful, loving and unafraid. The average person works at 10 percent of his potential. This is all your Beta mind can accomplish for you. But in the mind's many dimensions, the untouched potential lies at a deeper level than we ordinarily use. To enter into this instinctual side of the mind, students enter an altered state of awareness. They relax body and mind blocking out sensory impulses and concentrate on visualizing to develop the sub-conscious pattern that makes the individual super aware. After blocking out the rational, intellectual mind, the student slips into deeper levels of his mind and creates an imaginary Workshop, decorates and furnishes it so that he feels comfortable and productive there. He puts up an imaginary screen and it is on this screen that he floats the problems he intends to solve. At this point, he can tune into almost anything or anyone he puts on the screen. He can visualize someone he does or doesn't know as he gets onto his or her wavelength with his sub-conscious mind. He becomes aware of his capacity and with practice he gains psychic awareness: the power to heal, create and communicate effectively with people he never understood before. One must experience mind training to understand how it works. On the conscious level there are obstacles such as: desires and fears, words have different meanings to different people, and some emotions - resentment and hostility- block off communication. But at the deep sub-conscious level of Alpha-Theta, there are no barriers and this may be why the process works. The higher the intelligence reaches out from this center of awareness to the higher intelligence of others. In this dimension, any physical problem will show up gray to black, depending on its severity, on the imaginary screen. The student applies a remedy from his Workshop and can do this for himself as well as others. At this point, the step-by-step process by which delving into the sub-conscious, should be of interest after all of the initial information above has been revealed. Settle yourself comfortably, close your eyes and take some deep, relaxing breaths, allowing the mind to drift leisurely. Relax the shoulders and neck, and hopefully the rest of the body will respond. The conscious mind may be restless at first but this is normal. Begin by counting down from twenty-one, thinking of each number as a step, always visualizing. As you count down, either aloud or silently, drift deeper with each count into the very core of your being. You may pause briefly at intervals of three to scan muscles, skin, bones, and nerves mentally and continue to relax. At this deeper level, pick a scene from nature that is meaningful to you and become calm, still and even peaceful while seeing yourself within this scene. Sit this way as long as you like, putting aside all conscious thinking as your imagination roams over the scene. Take another deep breath and move mentally through the colors of the rainbow, each color suggesting a different and vivid sensation. At this point, being very deep into your levels, see first the color red. Then proceed to orange, yellow, green, blue and violet, each color conveying sensations of calmness, peace, soothing and love. Now proceed into your workshop with its screen in living color, visualizing ten pictures in sequence, increasing your ability to visualize and imagine. Frame the screen with a radiant white light and always project the problem to be dealt with within the light. Examine the contents of your work shop leisurely and, on either side of you, place an imaginary assistant who may be picked deliberately, or at this point, present himself through the altered awareness of Alpha-thinking. Whenever in a quandary, you can mentally turn to these assistants for help. With practice, you may find that you can bypass the preliminary stages and proceed directly into your workshop and to your screen of the mind. "It is indeed possible to continue growing in wisdom and inner power. There is an inner healer within each of us which can be experienced as a beauty and love, a wisdom and visualization, the inner healer can be released so that vitalizing energy can flow through the individual and keep him healthy and productive. This healer is the inner self: the sub-conscious thought, the new awareness, the Alpha-Theta, the point of contact at which the individual sees his true self in the mirror of the world around him. For as was said two thousand years ago,' and I say unto you, ask and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you.' ". References: The
