Review of a Manifestation Book by "Jack Greenwood"

I recently finished reading a book called "The ultimate power for manifesting all of your wishes."

It's a long title and it seems like an exaggeration too but I only bought it second hand for $20 so I thought it would at least be an interesting read. I was surprised to find that this book shed a lot of light on this the topic of manifestation and the law of attraction. I had already seen movies such as "the secret" of course and read quite a few books on this but this book was the first that put together the major pieces.

He explains concepts like "compression" and how it is enhances manifestation. "Compression" is like having a highly concentrated form of something so the more you have of it the more potent it is. He then goes on to explain how to achieve this compression.

Another concept that he reveals which I'd never heard of before is the use of the power of the legs for manifestation. He explains that the legs acts as a transmitter for compressed energy. He then explains how to do this.

What impresses me the most about this book is that everything is explained clearly and precisely. With manifestation and the law of attraction it always seemed as if people were talking about what they'd done with it but the details of how to do it were glossed over. It always came down to "imagine that you already have it." This book is kind of like reading a book on how to do pushups. It's that practical and simple.

The question most of you will be asking now is "so what have you managed to manifest?"

Well so far, I've managed to manifest a successful start up of a new business as well as a new car. There was work involved of course but amazingly these came to me very easily. I'm glad to have finally found a manifestation technique that works terrifically. Would I recommend this book? Without a doubt.

My Higher Self Experience Part 1

Most of my life I've practiced yoga and meditation for health. I followed the traditions of my parents who followed the teaching of their teachers. I had been a practitioner of meditation for about 14 years when I met a group of teachers from Life Mastery Guilds. They train through and with masters from the Asharem Temple of Light, an Astral temple. Up until then I had only known meditation as a way to still my mind and relax the body. Little did I know at the time that these teachers were to show me how to experience the potential of my consciousness that I could never have even dreamed of.

When I first began learning with these teachers I was astounded by the vast amount of knowledge and experience that they had about spiritual consciousness. Something told me that what they spoke of came from direct experience and not just from books and I felt a need to know and experience more. I asked to learn and I began training in their system using very specific meditation activations.

I look on that time as the major turning point for me in my spiritual life.


My Higher Self Experience Part 2

The training was different, very creative and it accessed parts of my brain that felt ‘different.’ There was a feeling of my consciousness being stretched in areas that I didn’t know existed! I would have visions and flashes of light and incredible feelings of energy moving about my body.

I’d always had a good energy flow but something very different was happening now. I felt like I was larger than life, like I was a master surfer commanding the waves of the world…it was very empowering.

All of this was building up to something…it was activating my consciousness, my mind and body for an introduction that was going to blow my mind.

My Higher Self Experience Part 3

My body and mind was getting used to this feeling of having a lot more energy in me. I was sleeping less, because I was just so clear and flowing all the time!

It was in about the 5th week of training that I connected to my Higher Self.

I was in very deep meditation – when I felt myself dissolving. I was still there of course, but I felt my mind penetrate so deeply into my body that it went beyond the atoms and in between…then I was floating and all of a sudden I shifted into an incredible ocean of the most beautiful white light. I could feel it infusing into my being and in moments I was encompassed by the most embracing love and compassion. It literally dissolved me – I became ‘it’ and ‘it’ was me.

How long I was there I don’t really know, but what I do know is that time was unimportant. Time truly means nothing when you are in complete bliss – and this is where I was.

Then I felt all around me the most divine sound – it was like the ‘om’ that we used to practice in Yoga, except it was perfect it was divine. At some stage I shifted again and I was face to face with what seemed like an angel. She was so beautiful – and she told me that she was my Higher Self – my true self.

My Review of Centerpointe's Holysync Meditation

Having come from a very traditional background of meditation I used to scoff at the more modern and commercialized forms that I saw around. You know the kind: "meditate like a Zen monk" and all that.

Of course I'd never tried them back then but I like most of my friends and family had an opinion about it anyway.

About 5 years ago I saw it as my duty to go out and try these programs if only to debunk them, but to my surprise there was more here than meets the eye...

Centerpointe, the company that put out the "Zen monk advert" have produced a meditation cd that changes the brainwaves of the listener. I could appreciate that it did very quickly what can take a while to cultivate naturally.

The only problem is, while it allows a listener to go deep - it doesn't cultivate the same insight or tools to deal with what comes up.

Ironically this is what the original aim of meditation was (at least in my opinion!). It's about dealing with stuff - making life better. Not just relaxing or going deep!

Alright...it might seem like I'm just bagging this product, but there are some good points too. It does relax - to an extent.

It's a quick fix and sometimes people need a quick fix.

But for people who want to do deeper work and to find the real potential of meditation Centerpointe's Holosync will be put back on the shelf within the week. And if you by any chance are the spiritual type then don't even bother.
It doesn't give you squat regarding spiritual development.

I mean relaxation is a useful tool for some spiritual exercises - but it is the development of discipline to be able to do it yourself that provides the control and ultimately the mastery that a spiritual practitioner needs.

Holosync is a bit like saying "why fly a kite when I can just pop a pill?"

We Are Infinite Consciousness, Immortal Spirits.

It was when training with the teachers at Life Mastery Guilds that I first experienced that veil between birth and death lifting up.

It was first explained it to me like this:

There is a curtain between life and death and this curtain creates the illusion that you are a finite being.

The truth is that you are infinite.

When you learn to lift the curtain then you will experience this.

I actually thought that it was just the usual spiritual lingo that I'd heard so much and so I didn't take that much stock in it. A few months later I was practicing an advanced form of meditation through an attunement and it happened! The curtain lifted up and I saw the reality of my current life! This life was just the blink of an eye to my True Self! I had created a mind that only remembered this life - nothing before birth and nothing after this moment right now...and so I was finite...I had played the most marvelous trick on myself! And it had worked perfectly! But in this timeless moment I saw all my lives and all my consciousness stretch out to the beginning of time. I was awestruck - literally flabbergasted. I came out of this meditation laughing the most sincere and genuine laugh that I had ever experienced. It was a gift to see that everything that I had created, things that were important, values, ethics, spirituality - all were illusions because everything that I sought - I already had - I had just tricked myself into experiencing a reality where I didn't believe I had them in order to experience the reality of evolution and achievement! It was the perfect trick! And I could see and appreciate exactly why I had played it!

I felt all the weight and pain lift out of me as I remembered in that endless moment my True Self! Beautiful!

This truth is the truth for all of us! We are all infinite beings!

How To Percieve Enlightenment – by Tashi

My perception of Enlightenment had always been that it was to come through the purification of the senses and the mind. This was a very mechanical point of view and in many ways Enlightenment is as mechanical as the learning of any skill, however there was a big piece of information that had been missing. This was the Higher Self connection.

The Higher Self was something that I had heard talked about while I was at the monastery but the direct training of this was never taught. I now believe it to be one of the last and fading secrets of the tradition that I was part of.

The first time that I met my Higher Self was after being attuned to a new meditation practice by a very unorthodox spiritual teacher. I opened my eyes and there before me materialized a person that looked like me yet every aspect of this person radiated perfection. I knew that this person was me and that this me was my Higher Self – it was my essential Buddha self. This being emanated the love and compassion of a saint and when he reached over and touched the crown of my head, my body dissolved into light.

The next thing that I knew I was flying through plains of light. I experienced in one moment all the pain, suffering and striving that I had faced in my life and I felt it all transform as it was engulfed into compassion so intense that it was all encompassing. This occurred through this life and then the life before and the life before that. I experienced pain and suffering that I had no idea existed within me. Lifetimes of pain met with pure love and compassion and was eradicated from my soul in an instant. Piercing through this compassion a deep frequency of peace arose and I knew then that I was looking Enlightenment in the eye.

This experience changed me beyond words. It was not the complete Enlightenment that I had always sought, but it was a very important window that was showing me that I was now heading in the right direction.
