Reverse Engineering the Self, Teleporting, and Dune

Reverse Engineering the Self, Teleporting, and Dune

At the end of Reverse Engineering the Self, Eric discusses the movie Dune. He and the students talk about folding space. One of the students, anyone know who, describes the space behind your closed eyes and being able to feel or sense the depth that goes beyond the surface of the back of your eyelids. I would venture a guess to say that he is describing the dimensional depth I feel when meditating. He goes on to talk about how when you feel the tones changing you feels yourself moving. Eric then continues on to talk about the “pilots” in the movie Dune and how they travel without movement. He explains that they assimilate the ship then they breath in, hold and out and they are were they want to be.

After listen to this I got a chill up my spine. It made me remember a reoccurring dream that I had when I was younger. When I say younger I mean like 14-15 years old, so around 14 years ago. It is a little weird so bare with me. In this dream I would go into the bathroom I used in the basement and close the door. I would sit down on the toilet but not to use it. I would sit there and close my eyes take a deep breathe and then I would open my eyes and I would be in the bathroom upstairs, sitting on the toilet in there. It was not a far trip by any means, but cool all the same. The same dream happened many times and always felt very real to me. Something inside of me told me that it was possible. So much so that I tried several times to replicate it while I was wake. I just knew that if I could invoke that same feeling that I had when I did it in the dream that I could do it. I was never successful and it was soon filed away in the back of my mind.

So now I am looking back on it now and noticing a few similarities to what Eric was talking about in Dune. My Tube was the bathroom with the closed door. It separated me from the grid so I was able do it without the doubt of someone watching me. The breathe would get me into the right state of mind and the feeling was me being in the place I wanted to be.

I just recently have started to hear tones more readily. I began noticing them more when I started doing the middle pillar exercise that my Star Reach coach Dan had taught me. After reading what John wrote in his Tones Movement Breakthrough blog I have started trying, the wrong word I know, to resonate them more and let the tones move me. I think it all relates back to what the student was talking about at the end of the CD. As you move from one tone to the next you are moving but without moving. Could you also say that by moving from one tone to the next we are folding space to get there? Does it each different tone represent a different place dimensionally?

So I thought I would share this. Food for thought if nothing else.
