Yup you said it “However, the relaxing effects of Hemi-Sync can still be taken advantage of.” And that sums it up, and yes I have done the same. My Winds of the World MP3 does have a couple of rough spots in it, but what a great song. “Flying Free” I will have to check this out, I don’t believe I have listened to it.
And wow, that quote you posted is awesome. Experience does seem to be our best teacher. Yesterday I am lying in bed before sleep, as I usually do I merely notice things that are happening. I shift my focus to my thoughts and feelings and begin to notice them. And all of sudden a thought comes to my head. Then I had this strange, deep realization, a very curious question: That thought came from Me, I did create that thought, but from where. No one else threw that thought upon me, it was from me, it would be ignorant to think otherwise <<Of course this is decision came only after long contemplation of some philosophy.
I have felt slowed down lately because of questions like this, curious questions not entirely serious. And it makes me really question my actions and what I do. For instance when relaxing before bed, if I just observe my body it goes through shifts when relaxing, but the kicker is I AM DOING THIS, I am my body, my body is me. Then why cannot I control this, part of me does, and is. Automatic pilot comes to mind, as some mystics or shamans might imply.
I know I am rambling on here but experiences like these just stop me cold at times, some because of the implications, and it is directly related to the quote you posted because tools are just tools “As such, they do not create change in you. Only you can change you.” We are actually making this happen without the tools, we create what we want, however it is on a level we are not used to looking at. That is where I am at, a little slower and trying to figure out what I AM DOING. I started asking about these inner functions by looking at other people and seeing what they write and experience, but when I started looking into myself it now seems like a much bigger question, and it’s hitting home.
My intellect says > this is weird. What motivates my intellect? What motivates what motivates my intellect?
As Robert Pirsig would say, The high country of the mind.
p.s. Hemi-Sync sent me a e-mail back and said they will pass the information (Holophonics) on to research, to have it looked at. That was a quick response from them.
