On Memory
In his series of books Carlos Castaneda talks about the teachings
of his master who he calls Don Juan. This teaching went on for a number of years
and filled many books. One of the points that Don Juan made was that there are
many parallel worlds all operating at slightly different frequencies. By changing
your frequency you can slip sideways into a world which is slightly different
from the one we are usually aware of and, if you change it enough, into a world
that is completely different to our own.
Scientists understand very little of how the brain works and generally they don't understand the relationship between brain and mind. Despite thinking they understand a lot, they understand nothing. In this regard are in a state of unaware incompetence (see 'Professional Incompetence').
Many people have had an association from a smell or from listening to music. Suddenly, you are transported back to a different time. Remembering is the process of shifting your frequency of operation to align with the event that you are trying to remember. When you hear a record you haven't heard for some years and you are suddenly transported back, you are shifting your frequency of operation.
If you can shift your frequency to align with that of another person then you can experience an empathy with them. One simple way of achieving this is to breathe in synchronism with another person. I also mentioned previously ('Sex in the 21st Century') about how sexual intercourse causes an energy relationship.
Flexibility of thinking is the precursor to being able to make this shift and people who have a rigidity of thinking are unable to make even a slight shift. It is important to try to see the world through the eyes of another person. Sceptics attempt to win arguments, which is futile. I pointed out previously ("Facts and Opinions") how you have to understand something before you can test it, or for that matter, criticise it. This means standing in another person's shoes and seeing the world how they see it. Only then can you see its unique beauty or flaws. It also means giving up, even if temporarily, your own view of the world. This is what sceptics are afraid of.
