What all of the information and specific cases cited below demonstrate, though they may differ considerably (e.g. mystical enlightenment, hypnosis, prayer, the near death experience, precognitive dreams, the placebo effect, etc.) are extended, seemingly extraordinary, transcendent states of mind that are in fact quite commonly experienced. They demonstrate the preeminence of the mind over matter and are natural, as much a part of our lives as our waking and sleeping states, in sickness and in health and throughout our lives. These states of mind have been ignored, sometimes feared, and often outright derided as evidence of insanity. This ignorance is contributing to, the very reason actually, for our suffering and demise, let alone not allowing us to fully experience and joyfully express our divinely endowed miraculous, creative capabilities – on Earth as it is in Heaven.
SPIRITUALLY TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCES
A spiritually transformative experience, or STE (as in, though not limited to, the samadhi or enlightenment experience) is a transcendent experience inexplicable by materialist science that is associated with characteristic changes in knowledge, behavior, personality and values.
STE experiences involve being out of one’s body and/or an immersion into a vastly expansive vivid and lucid reality that often happens when a profound or traumatic event occurs, or it can be brought about during a spiritual or non spiritual ritual, or during meditation. It can also occur spontaneously and completely unexpectedly. The result is a greatly expanded knowledge of unity accompanied with the experience of being enveloped by a great Love by and for all things. The result is often a dramatic shift in one’s beliefs, priorities and values and a new appreciation of the purpose of life. It can even lead to psychic or other enhanced mental attributes seemingly as though the all knowing and unitive qualities remain to an extent.
The Samadhi or Enlightenment Experience
Samadhi defined: (Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Yogi) which literally means “to direct together,” is the state in which the experiencer perceives his being as spiritual rather than physical. It is an experience of divine ecstasy as well as of superconscious perception; the soul perceives, wholly knows, the entire universe. The human consciousness becomes one with cosmic consciousness.
One thing I have noticed about the descriptions of these experiences whether occurring suddenly and unintentionally, or during ritual or practice (as in during meditation) in an effort to bring about this transcendent state of unity, is that the person has lost awareness of the physical self and is in a mental state of complete openness, and sometimes awe. Another state which brings on the same or similar experience is the near death experience. Again, the experiencier would be in a state of complete openness (for nothing they are initially experiencing seems ordinary and familiar) thus freeing them to realize their wholly divine state. Though there are NDE reports of initially fearful and resistant states of mind as well.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809 – 1892) British Poet Laureate (e.g.The Charge of the Light Brigade and In Memoriam A.H.H. which brought much comfort to Queen Victoria after she lost her beloved husband Prince Albert to typhoid fever). Tennyson writes to a friend, “I have never had any revelations through anesthetics of any kind, but during a walking trance, for lack of a better word, I have frequently experienced them since boyhood when I have been all alone. This has come upon me through repeating my own name to myself silently, till all at once, as it were, out of the intensity of the consciousness of individuality, individuality itself seemed to dissolve and fade away into boundless being. And, this is not a confused state but the clearest, the surest of the surest, utterly beyond words state – where death was an almost laughable impossibility – the loss of personality, seeming not extinction, but the only true life. I am ashamed of my feeble description. Have I not said the state is utterly beyond words?”
.
William James (1842 – 1910) Harvard professor and considered the father of American psychology. In his book The Varieties of Religious Experience cites an account from a correspondence from a Mr. Trine. “I know of an officer on our police force who has told me that many times, when off duty and on his way home in the evening, there comes to him such a vivid and vital realization of his oneness with this Infinite Power. This Spirit Of Infinite Peace so takes hold of and so fills him that it seems as if his feet could hardly keep to the pavement, so buoyant and so exhilarated does he become by reason of the inflowing tide.”
James also writes of a Canadian psychiatrist, Dr. Richard M. Bucke (1837 – 1902) who gives to the more distinctly characterized of these phenomena the name of “cosmic consciousness.” “I had spent the evening in a great city with two friends reading and discussing poetry and philosophy. We parted at midnight and I had a long drive to my lodging. My mind was deeply under the influence of the ideas, images, and emotions called up by the reading and talk. I was calm and peaceful; letting ideas, images and emotions flow in and of themselves, as it were, through my mind. All at once, without warning of any kind, I found myself wrapped in a flame colored conflagration from somewhere close by in the great city. Then next, I knew that the fire was not outside me but rather within me. What suddenly followed was a sense of exultation and of immense joyousness immediately followed by an intellectual illumination impossible to describe. “
“I did not merely come to believe, among other things, but saw that the universe is not composed of dead matter; on the contrary, it is a living Presence. I became conscious in myself of eternal life; meaning not that I would have, but that I was, eternal life. I saw that all men are immortal and that the cosmic order is such that, without any doubt, all things work together for the good of each and all and that the founding principle of this world, of all worlds, is what we call love. And, that the happiness of each and all is, in the long run, certain. The vision lasted but a few seconds and was gone. But, the memory of it and the sense of the reality of what it taught me has remained during the quarter of a century which has since elapsed; I knew that what the vision showed me was true. That view, that conviction, that consciousness, has never, even during periods of the deepest depression, been lost.”
.
James continues, “The existence of mystical states absolutely overthrows the pretensions of non-mystical states (rationalist, materialist explanations) to be the sole and ultimate dictators of what we may believe.” “They do not contradict these facts, as such, or deny anything that our senses have immediately seized. It is the rationalistic critic, rather, who plays the part of denier in the controversy, and his denials have no strength. For there never can be a statement of facts to which new meaning may not truthfully be added, provided that the mind thus ascends to a more enveloping [holistic or whole] point of view.”
“This overcoming of all the usual barriers between the individual and the Absolute is the great mystic achievement. In mystical states we both become one with the Absolute and aware of our oneness. This is the everlasting and triumphant of the mystical tradition, hardly altered by differences of faith or ideology. In Hinduism, in Neoplatonism, in Sufism, in mysticism, … we find the same recurring note in mystical utterances: an eternal unanimity which ought to make a critic stop and think.”
From a book based on lectures by Swami Vivekananda (1863 – 1902) titled “Practical Vedanta, The Real and the Apparent Man” published in London, 1897. Vivekananda was a key figure in the introduction of the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga to the western world: “Why does man go out to look for a God? It is your own heart beating, and you did not know – mistaking it for something external. He, nearest of the near, my own self, the reality of my own life, my body and my soul – I am Thee and Thou art Me. That is your own nature. Assert it, manifest it. Not to become pure – you are pure already. You are not to become perfect – you are perfect already. Every good thought which you think or act upon is simply a tearing away of the veil, as it were. And the purity, the infinity, the God behind, manifests Itself – the eternal Subject of everything, the eternal Witness in this universe – your own Self.”
.
Every man,” says the Sufi Gulshan-Raz, “whose heart is no longer shaken by any doubt, knows with certainty that there is no being save the only One … In his divine majesty the me, and we, the thou, are not found, for in the One there can be no distinction. Every being who is annulled and entirely separated from himself, hears resounding in this voice and this echo: I am God.”
What I (L. Tayor) am considering in the quote below, is the intention to bring about this state during meditation, hypnosis, or prayer:
“Surrender requires tremendous strength. It is not giving up. Joseph Campbell summed it up nicely when he said: “We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” Achieving surrender opens you to a divine energy, one that many know as grace. By opening to the power of grace, one opens themselves up to a number of new and powerful spiritual experiences.” Dr. Raymond Moody, M.D., PhD
Here William James cites such “consciousness of illumination” or mystical revelations as experienced by Saint Ignatius: “Saint Ignatius confessed one day to Father Laynez that a single hour of meditation had taught him more truths about heavenly things than all the teachings of all the theologians put together. One day, in orison (during prayer), on the choir steps of the Dominican Church, he saw in a distinct manner the plan of divine wisdom in the creation of the world. On another occasion, during a (religious) procession, his spirit was ravished in God, and it was given him to contemplate the deep mystery of the Holy Trinity in a form and with images necessarily fitted to the weak understanding of a dweller on Earth. This last vision flooded his heart with such sweetness that, in later times, the mere memory of it made him shed abundant tears.”
HYPNOSIS HISTORY AND HISTORICAL EXAMPLES (below are some examples that demonstrate hypnosis can be helpful, but also awareness and caution need be exercised)
Franz Anton Mesmer (1734 – 1815) was an 18th century doctor who developed the theory of animal magnetism, as well as a related style of treatment that came to be known as mesmerism. His theories were debunked in his time and sound bizarre today, but he is credited with laying the foundation for the practice of modern hypnotism. The verb, mesmerize, is named after him.
While Mesmer was disparaged in his day, some of his patients did claim to have been cured by him. However, he stumbled on something still relevant in modern psychological practice. It wasn’t the righting of a presumed physical or neurological imbalance or Mesmer’s personal ‘superior magnetism’ that relieved people of their suffering; it was his ability to induce a suggestive mental state through which ailments, often of a psychological nature, could be alleviated. This technique, stripped of the mysticism and pageantry which he gregariously applied, is the basis of hypnosis, and while still controversial, has become recognized as a valid therapeutic technique today.

Mesmer’s Baquet: A group of patients would sit or stand around this device in such a way as to press the movable metal rods against the afflicted areas of their bodies and, while bound to the instrument by the ropes, they would link their fingers together to complete an “electric” circuit. The atmosphere in which these sessions took place was heavy with incense and séance-like; the music of a glass harmonica (invented by Benjamin Franklin) provided a haunting soundtrack, and thick drapes, mirrors, and astrological symbols decorated the opulent, half-lit room.
.
Franz Mesmer, would enter his baroque style salon wearing flamboyant gold slippers and a lilac silk robe. He would prowl around the expectant, highly charged circle of clients sending them into trances with his enthralling brown-eyed stare. By slowly passing his hands over the patients’ bodies, or with a simple flick of his magnetized wand, Mesmer would provoke screams, fits of contagious hysterical laughter, vomiting, and dramatic convulsions. These effects were considered cathartic and curative. When a patient’s seizures became so exaggerated as to be dangerous or disruptive, Mesmer’s valet, Antoine, would carry him or her to the sanctuary of a mattress-lined “crisis room” where the screams would be muffled.
How much more fun this would be than many modern medical procedures inflicted on the ailing today!

Wolf Messing (1899 – 1974) was born in the Russian Empire (in modern-day Poland) in 1899 into a pious Jewish family. From an early age, Wolf exhibited extraordinary talents such as an uncanny ability to predict future events, find concealed or lost items, read and influence the thoughts of others.
In Messing’s words: The Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin [1879 – 1953] “… gave the KGB a detailed order to check my abilities. This took place in Moscow in the summer of 1940. I was asked to withdraw 100,000 rubles from a certain prominent branch of the state bank. I gave the bank teller a blank sheet of paper and mentally suggested that I was giving him a bona fide financial document. The crux of the experiment lay in the sheer enormity of the sum, because the teller would only be able to issue the funds after thoroughly checking the ‘document.’ He would have to be extremely careful with such a transaction. The teller, a rather short, middle-aged man with a thin gray moustache, took the paper which was a sheet torn from an ordinary school notebook. He studied it intently and for a long time, shifting his eyes between me and the document. He finally opened the safe and began to count out the money. This was essentially a repetition of the episode in Berlin where, by mental suggestion, I turned a scrap of paper into a railroad ticket.
Three official witnesses, dressed in civilian clothes and placed at an inconspicuous distance signed a document testifying to the experiment’s success, and even counted the money I placed in the briefcase. It was all there. I returned once more to the cashier’s window and handed him the same piece of paper, but this time I mentally mentally commanded him to view the paper as it actually was. The only thing on the otherwise blank sheet was a stamp and his own signature. He cast a crazed glance at the paper, looked back at me in horror, then collapsed in his chair. He’d had a coronary! An ambulance was summoned immediately. Fortunately he recovered, but that incident still nags at my conscience.”
“Another experiment consisted of my walking past three sets of security guards at a certain militarized establishment. The guards had been forewarned not to let me pass. Four guards were given a detailed description of me and the time of my anticipated exit, which was timed to a fraction of a minute. Yet I carried out the task quite easily.”
“It was also alleged that I took part in the interrogations of prominent political prisoners in the cells of notorious Lubyanka prison, operated by the secret police. I also allegedly used clairvoyance to examine the intentions of Stalin’s closest aides if he suspected them of opposition or conspiracy. “As a medic, Tanya (Messing’s interviewer and the book’s author), you are familiar with the Hippocratic Oath physicians take at the beginning of their practice. They vow to use their medical skills only for the common good and their patients’ welfare. So, when I first became conscious of my mysterious gift to telepathically influence people, I vowed I would never use it to hurt society or mankind. Not once have I broken this moral pledge, despite the slanders I’ve had to face.”
I’m (Tatiana Lungin, the author) certain that Wolf Messing never analyzed his premonitions or other psychic impressions; they came to him as complete information. An understanding of Messing’s power remained beyond my grasp. Since we were close friends, I didn’t feel awkward asking Wolf if there were any unsuccessful situations where he had failed to avert a tragic fate. Messing tossed his head nervously. He reached for a cigarette, even though a freshly lit one lay in the ashtray. After inhaling deeply several times, he answered. “People really do influence each other,” he began. “What are you doing, reading my thoughts? I’ve been wanting to tell you about a particular incident for a long time, but never found a pretext…” “And now you’ve brought it up yourself. No, I’ve never made any gross errors,” he responded. “I’m including all the individual tasks that have been given to me or those in which I took the initiative, especially life or death cases.
According to the author, logic played but a small role in Messing’s telepathic, clairvoyance and precognitive powers. His procedures were the antithesis of the methodology that Sherlock Holmes’ deduction and analysis would use.

Here we have an example of long-distance hypnotic influence in 1886: Madame B., a person easily hypnotized, was the subject of many experiments arranged by Professor Pierre Janet and Dr. Gibert, a prominent physician of Le Havre. These studies were joined by F. W. H. Myers of the Society for Psychical Research, the physician A. T. Myers, Professor Ochorowicz of the University of Lvov, and M. Marillier of the French Psychological Society.
On this particular occasion the plan was that Dr. Gibert (the hypnotist) remain in his study and try to mentally summon Madame B. to leave her cottage and come see him. The cottage was about a kilometer from his house, and neither Madame B. nor any of the people living with her had been told that the experiment would take place. Gibert began issuing his mental commands at 8:55 p.m., and within half an hour she began her journey to his house. The researchers, hidden from her view along the way, could see she was obviously in a somnambulistic state. Finally she reached Gibert’s house, entered, and hurried from room to room until she found him. Researcher F. W. H. Myers wrote that out of twenty-five similar tests, nineteen were equally successful.

These are but two examples of the numerous accounts of a person’s (the hypnotist) mind, or consciousness, extending beyond their own to a receptive other, or other’s, and producing hallucinatory experiences or responses to commands to their subject and this can be accomplished, as is reported of above, at a distance even.
Therapists, with good intentions, are no doubt accustomed to viewing hypnosis, however we might term it, as a force for good. I used hypnosis (recorded tapes) to quit smoking decades ago and I noticed other suggestions made on the recording had effects on my behavior though I was not at all concerned nor interested in those effects. They were healthy suggestions involving the control of eating and drinking alcoholic beverages, and these effects lasted a very long time.
Though hypnosis can, indeed, lead to powerful therapeutic results it can also be powerfully harmful, depending upon the ideas absorbed by the person in trance. Therefore, it is important that it is always used judiciously. I was hypnotized by a very bad man not aware of what the man was doing at the time. I only realized what had happened after he left my home and I began to hallucinate two large black wasp-like insects, one after the other, entering through the open French doors headed directly for and unceasingly chasing me. It wasn’t until I saw a third one, different looking than the other two and the size of a small bird, that it dawned on me what had just happened. The hallucinations then ceased. He hypnotised me at my condominium kitchen counter where we were standing facing each other. He had pointed to his eyes and suggested that I look at them. I did and they began to look rather interesting, like they were two dimensional, as on an illuminated screen, and a bit in front of where his eyes actually were. I was intrigued by this and kept looking at them as he told a story of his being chased by wasps at a lakeside resort. He mentioned that the only way he was able to escape their pursuit was to jump off of a dock and into the lake. My condominium was on the third story of a building and the open French doors led to the deck, below which was concrete.
While hypnosis has been around and the subject of scientific research for over 200 years, there is still widespread misunderstanding about what it actually is. Yet, we do need to take into account that we go into trance frequently without anyone present putting us into one, like when daydreaming, or watching TV and other illuminated screen formats and recordings. In the case of illuminated screens (television, movies, so called smart phones and computer screens) the mental manipulations are intentional, as in advertising or addicting the viewer to keep returning to the device, and are not at all well-meaning. We are in a trance whenever our attention is focused and locked, and therein also lies the danger.
Here’s an example of a foolish daydream I repeatedly mentally reviewed. I imagined that I was riding on my bike and was hit by a car. When the impact occurred I would feel myself thrown up into the air, as if in slow motion and without pain. Right after maybe five of these daydreams over a couple of days, twice on my bike I literally missed being hit by a car by inches. The first time was my mistake for I should have been more cautious. Yet anyone could have made it for the oncoming traffic was completely blocked from view and the motorist was speeding. The second time, it was not. I was riding through the local college stadium parking lot. It was a summer day when there were no college events and very few cars parked in the lot. A car suddenly came racing directly toward me, the tires screeched before it came to a stop and I could see a young woman in the driver’s seat. She managed to stop the car but a couple of inches before broadsiding me. What if I had imagined myself horribly injured during the daydreams?
Again, to underscore, what are we foolishly choosing to watch on TV and on the internet (to say nothing of all the exploitive subliminal suggestions from seemingly wholesome programs)? What first person, violent, video games are we and our children playing? What kind of music are we and our kids listening to? What are we daydreaming about? Are we not in a trance, hypnotized during these activities and are they not realized in our daily lives?
William James alludes to miraculous healings in his book saying that they have always been part of the supernaturalist stock in trade, and have always been dismissed by the scientist as figments of the imagination. (Although lately, as is referred to below, there has been considerable scientific interest in the placebo effect.) As well, James adds, the evidential facts of hypnotism have recently given scientists, tardy though they may be, a reason to acknowledge its effects, and they now conclude that miraculous healings may indeed exist provided they are referred to as effects of [hypnotic] suggestion. On these terms, even the stigmata of the cross on Saint Francis’ hands and feet might not then be a fable.
PLACEBO EFFECT
The placebo effect is defined as scientifically verified healings the result of patients believing they are receiving effective pharmaceutical treatments but are actually receiving a sugar pill or water injection treatments instead. There are also cases of effective placebo surgeries where the patient is opened then closed without anything else having been done. It is reported that as many as 30% of the placebo group experience the same alleviation or decrease in symptoms as the group receiving the pharmaceutical. Occasionally the results are quite astounding, such as a total reversal of an untreatable cancer. There are even reported cases of the placebo working even though those in the placebo groups are aware they are given placebos; with the word placebo written on the prescription bottles! The mind over matter healing effects here are verifiably significant even according to the most skeptical of researchers.
Some people are more prone to the placebo effect than others. Certain personality traits are associated with it being more likely that a person will experience the placebo effect. This is logical since the results depend on our beliefs and expectations, which some of us may ascribe to more readily and enthusiastically than others. For example, optimists are more responsive to analgesic placebos, as are people who score high for emotional resilience and friendliness.
Some doctors are better at inducing the placebo effect than others given that effects depend on the patient believing in the power of the treatment being given to them, it follows that some doctors will be better placed to reinforce this hope and expectation than others. Research backs this up: a study that involved a placebo injection for the treatment of an allergic reaction found that symptom improvement was greater when the injection was given by a doctor conveying warmth and confidence. Feelings of similarity toward one’s doctor may also be relevant: another study found that subjective pain was lower after a medical procedure when participants thought they’d been paired with a doctor who shared the same values and personal beliefs as them.
The placebo effect also has an “evil twin.” If the placebo effect occurs simply because you believe a given treatment will be beneficial, it follows that if you have negative expectations, this could result in a worsening of your symptoms. That’s exactly what researchers have found and they’ve called this the “nocebo effect”. In the context of analgesia (in which some participants are told that an inert cream or pill leads to increased pain in some people) studies found that the nocebo effect is roughly similar in size to positive placebo effects.
They’ve found that it works with animals as well. An animal would receive an analgesic for pain and while being administered, a scent would be present. They later found that the scent alone was enough to produce the pain relieving effects in the animal.
The placebo effect isn’t just about pain reduction, relief of allergy symptoms, etc. – it can boost creativity and cognitive performance too.

PRAYER “Pray for my soul, more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. ” Lord Tennyson
Excerpts from “Prayer: The Art of Believing by Neville Goddard [1905 – 1972]:
..
According to Goddard, what we are conscious of is constructed out of what we are not conscious of. Not only do our subconscious assumptions influence our behavior but they also fashion the pattern of our objective existence. Prayer modifies or completely changes our subconscious assumptions, and a change of assumption is a change of expression.
The conscious mind reasons from observation, experience and education. It therefore finds it difficult to believe what the five senses and reason deny. The subconscious is never concerned with the truth or falsity of a belief, or outcome, but proceeds on the assumption of the correctness of the belief and objectifies the outcome which is consistent with the belief. This distinction must be clearly understood by all who would master the art of praying. No true grasp of the science of prayer can be really obtained until the laws governing the dual nature of consciousness are understood and the importance of the subconscious realized.
Prayer, the art of believing what is denied by the senses and the rational intellectual mind, deals almost entirely with the subconscious. Through prayer, (or hypnosis) the subconscious is suggested into acceptance of the wish, or suggestion, and unfolds it into its objective, experiencial end. Thought and feeling fused into beliefs impress modifications upon it, charge it with a mission, which it faithfully executes.
Man transmits ideas to the subconscious mind through his feelings. The subconscious transmits ideas from mind to mind through telepathy. Your unexpressed will for and opinions of others are transmitted to them without their conscious knowledge or consent, and if subconsciously accepted by them will influence their behavior. (Let us recall the intents and effects of hypnosis here).
Goddard claims that the only ideas they subconsciously reject are your ideas of them which they could not accept as true nor will for anyone. Otherwise whatever you could wish for others that can be believed by them, and by their belief they are inclined to accept, and therefore objectively express accordingly. Ideas are best suggested when your (physical, bodily) senses are diminished or held in abeyance (as during hypnosis). This partly subjective (internal) state can best be described as a controlled reverie, wherein the mind is functioning with absorption; a concentration of attention. Also, there must be no conflict in your mind when you are praying. Assume the mood of already fulfilled desire, and by the universal law of reversibility (or during prayer having put aside physical awareness, transcending spatial, temporal, causal, limitations) you will sooner or later will realize your desire.
What he is referring to “by the law of reversibility” is, for example: Mechanical motion caused by speech and the reproduction of speech by mechanical motion (speakers). Heat can produce mechanical motion, so therefore mechanical motion can produce heat. Electricity produces magnetism, as well, magnetism can produce electric currents. Cause and effect, energy and matter, action and reaction are the same and interconvertible. Or, by consciousness transcending physicality, cause and effect, regardless of what appears to have come first, is indeed reversible. Regardless, he is suggesting to mentally imagine and feel the experience as if it has already occurred following which, objectively realizing the cause of the feelings.
Everything that can be seen, touched, explained, argued over, is to the imaginative person nothing more than a means. For prayer functions, by way of their controlled imagination in the deep of themselves where every idea exists in itself, and not in causal relation to something else. In prayer there is no need for the restraints of intellectual reason, for the only restraint that need be applied is to eliminate all moods other than the mood of fulfilled desire.
Neither the passivity of the subject nor his conscious agreement with your suggestion is necessary, for without their consent or knowledge they can be given a subjective order which they must objectively express. It is a fundamental law of consciousness that by telepathy we can have immediate communion with another. To establish rapport you call the subject mentally. Focus your attention on him and mentally shout his name just as you would to attract the attention of anyone. Imagine that he has answered, and mentally hear his voice. Represent him to yourself inwardly in the state you want him to obtain. Then imagine that he is telling you in the tones of ordinary conversation what you want to hear. Mentally answer him. Tell him of your joy in witnessing his good fortune. “Thou shalt decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee.” It is not a strong will that sends the subjective word on its mission so much as it is clear thinking and feeling the truth of the statement affirmed. It is not what you want that you attract; you attract what you believe to be true. Mentally talk to your friends as though your desires for them were already realized.
There are those who recommend that one need not go into such detail. That perhaps it’s all the specifics we pray for that may very well interfere with the best outcomes and therefore nothing, or worse, happens. But to instead see the person, (someone you feel has done or intends harm even), or persons at peace and happy, loved and loving while at the same time feeling those very sensations within yourself. Then let Cosmic Consciousness, or Atman, or God (whatever you’re comfortable with) do the rest.
Goddard adds that, as in hypnosis, the subjective mind is completely controlled by suggestion. Therefore, whether the object of your faith be considered true or false by some is irrelevant, you will get the same results. There is nothing unsound in the theory of medicine, with their pills and surgeries, or in the claims of the priesthood with their relics and holy places, or energy healers with their waving of hands and directed healing intentions. The subjective mind of the patient accepts the suggestion of health conditioned on these beliefs, and as soon as these conditions are met he may very well realize healing has indeed occurred.
More On Prayer
Here’s a purely psychological effect of prayer cited by William James: Disregarding the over-beliefs and confining ourselves to what is common and generic, we have, as factual, that the conscious person is continuous with a wider self through which saving experiences come – a positive aspect of religious experience which is literally and objectively true. This is a case where a woman was exposed from childhood to Christian ideas. Yet, to her they were but religious formulas before a saving experience had occurred to her.
“For myself I can say that spiritualism has saved me. It was revealed to me at a critical moment of my life, and without it I don’t know what I should have done. It has taught me to detach myself from worldly things and to place my hope in things to come. Through it I have learned to see in all men, even in those most criminal, even in those from whom I have most suffered, underdeveloped brothers to whom I owed my assistance, love, and forgiveness. I have learned that I must not lose my temper over anything, despise no one, and pray for all. Most of all I have learned to pray! … Prayer ever brings me more strength, consolation and comfort.”

To Whom Or What Are We Praying?
Dr. Frederic W. H. Myers (1843 – 1901) was a leading mind in psychical research and one of the principal founders of the Society for Psychical Research [still exists today, link below], established in London in 1882. By vocation, he was a brilliant classist scholar (ancient Greek and Roman literature, art and architecture), a psychologist and a poet of distinction. He was also the first Englishman to swim across the channel beneath Niagara Falls. For thirty years he filled the post of a Cambridge inspector of schools. His resolve to pursue psychical investigation came about 1869 after a starlight walk and talk with his friend, Henry Sidgwick. From his 1892 essay on “The Subliminal Consciousness”: “Each of us in reality is an abiding psychical entity far more extensive than he knows – the whole of which can never express itself completely through any corporeal manifestation [the ordinary physical self]. The whole self manifests through the organism; but there is always some part of this self un-manifested.”

Bi-location and its Applicability to Prayer and Higher States of Awareness
There are a number of testimonies throughout history of persons experiencing two entirely different states simultaneously. It is referred to as bi-location. To others the secondary being may appear at a distance from the primary person in a solid or a spiritual form and not as nor speak as a typical person. It can occur spontaneously or at will. It is a magical skill learned by adepts but also an advanced ability ascribed to spiritually advanced persons such as saints and mystics. It is similar to the out of body experience though the OBE refers to just the consciousness, not an observable apparition, leaving a person and travelling elsewhere, and their awareness does not stay with the body during these excursions.
This altered state was first made public by Robert Monroe (1915 – 1995), a radio station executive who experienced an unexpected OBE while working at a radio station. He then went on to develop the practice and founded the Monroe Institute (which is still active today) with the intent of studying altered states of consciousness. He wrote a book, “Journeys out of the Body” (which I enjoyed reading) and is credited with popularizing the term “out of body experience.” There are other similar states such as remote viewing where an individual can psychically see conditions at a distant location.

The bi-location I am speaking of is where the individual is simultaneously fully present and cognizant of their being in two disparate states, as in shared near death experiences . Here’s a good example of just such a state (other examples addressed later):
This from Scott M. Taylor, President and Executive Director of the Monroe Institute. Scott’s wife and son, Mary Fran and Nolan, were both killed in a car crash; Mary Fran instantly and Nolan several days later in a hospital, surrounded by two anxious families along with Scott. There came the moment when the boy died, causing the hearts of all to sink, except Scott’s.
“As Nolan’s heartbeat patterns flattened and the monitor beside his bed sounded the constant, unwavering tone of organ failure, every member of his extended family wept … except for me.”
“As he left his physical body for the last time, Mary Fran crossed the divide between the nonphysical and the physical world and scooped Nolan out of his body. Their reunion embrace was beautiful. Then, to my surprise, Mary Fran and Nolan turned and included me in their embrace. Together, the three of us went to the light.”
“I know of no English words for the combination of joy, ecstasy, love, and requited longing that burned within me. It carried me to a dimension I never knew existed. In that moment, there was no pain of loss, only unity, rapture and reunion.” “I was fully conscious, fully present in the hospital room with the grieving gathering. Yet simultaneously I was lifted to a place beyond description. I experienced bi-location: two fully conscious vantage points, one sitting on the window sill [in the hospital room] with Will, and a second, somewhere in another dimension embraced by Mary Fran and Nolan as she guided her son farther into the Light.”

In order for us to better understand such a condition I will use the common everyday examples below and from there show bi-location’s applicability to prayer, and higher states even.
Consider your state of mind when reading a book where you, the reader is also the first person character in the narrative. You retain all of the awareness of yourself: your personality and physical characteristics, your social and economic circumstances, environment, etc. At the same time you are experiencing these same factors and conditions as the character, you the reader, is portrayed in the book. If you laugh, cry or are frightened as a result of the character’s condition and circumstances, you most definitely feel these things, but do not (except maybe momentarily now then) forget your actual self who is sitting on a couch reading a book while sipping on a cup of tea; or who and wherever you are at that time. Say, for example, a middle aged woman with two grown children who works in administration at a hospital in Denver Colorado in 2020. Yet in the novel you are reading you are a 39 year old male detective in the 1940s living and working in San Francisco, California. In essence, you are simultaneously experiencing being two different persons having entirely different experiences in very different places and decades apart.
If instead, for example, you are watching a movie in a theater and are not the first person character but rather an empathetic bystander, or observer, of the circumstances and events, you experience the events as if you were actually there. You may become terribly frightened, worried or happy for the characters in the movie, and might even feel you know some of them personally. Yet, all the while you do not lose the awareness of your simultaneously being in a theater watching a movie and eating popcorn.
Now consider this: Who is observing, experiencing being you, your character on earth; that character being a physical, temporal being in a material environment constrained by the laws of causality over spacetime? And, all the while, simultaneously being your fully extended, evolved, one with All that Is, spiritual Self? Your Higher Self. Much like (hypothetically) the characters in the book or movie that are not aware of you sitting on a couch or in a theater vicariously experiencing their lives, you are, at best, only minimally aware of your Higher Self, vicariously experiencing being you over the course of events during your lifetime, or previous lifetimes, or future for that matter. Your Higher Self, spiritual (non physical), outside spacetime Self, would have a span of knowledge and wisdom beyond your human personality’s conception. And, how your Higher Self functions, not being confined to the spatial/temporal causal laws of materiality, would qualify as miraculous in comparison to your human, earthly state of existence.
Like you who feels that the book you are reading, or movie you are watching, is somehow enriching (or impoverishing) your life, your Higher Self is doing the same. Does it not make sense that you would pray to, communicate with, your Higher Self in an effort to receive higher wisdom and guidance? To produce a miracle on your own (and/or your loved ones, everyone’s everywhere for that matter) behalf in an effort to restore peace of mind during times of crisis? How best might you communicate with your Higher Self? What would inspire your Higher Self with its transcendent states of knowing, wisdom and creative powers to intervene, to work with you?
Here’s an interesting quote by Edgar Cayce (1877 – 1945): It is not enough to merely focus on the cross of Jesus and the divinity within him. Jesus taught people to “take up their own crosses” and follow his example and way. A person whose Higher Self has overcome his lower self will then become spiritually “awakened” and a spiritual “resurrection” will take place. The person will then begin to manifest the human-divine unity that Jesus, Buddha, and other avatars did.” “Once our spirit “comes alive” in our conscious mind through the spiritual practice of unconditional love for others … the delusion of separation and (the ego’s) self-will is then “cast into the abyss” .. the result will be Heaven on Earth (divine awareness within humanity).”
..
Edgar Cayce, sometimes referred to as the “sleeping prophet” was born on a farm in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, in 1877. His psychic abilities began to appear during his childhood when it became apparent to his family that he was able to talk to his deceased grandfather. As an adult, Cayce would put himself into a state of meditation and connect with universal consciousness and from this state came his “readings” regarding holistic health and the treatment of disease to dream interpretations, reincarnation and the afterlife. He did these readings daily for 44 years all of which were documented, cataloged and are available to this day. In 1910, the New York Times carried two pages of headlines and pictures in which he was declared the The World’s Most Mysterious Man and Cayce was swamped with thousands of requests for medical help. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson (28th president from 1913 – 1921) sought the services of Edgar Cayce for healing and guidance while he was President and conceiving the idea of the League of Nations.

An important aside: It draws upon a far greater power to be for something rather than against something. Such as, for freedom of expression rather than against censorship, or for human rights for one and all rather than against discrimination and racism. Feel, the world you want to see, not the concerns you’re pushing against. This does not mean that, in these cases for example, the words censorship and discrimination cannot be mentioned for sometimes they should be, but the power of a creative force is far greater than an opposing, fighting force. To be against something produces an equal and opposite reaction. Whereas the creative force is the living force that made the entire universe. Be open to, flow this creative force – Love Itself. I’ve seen this work producing surprising results.
This concern that I read recently must also be addressed: “It is not difficult to imagine how a 100 percent success rate for prayer would create unimaginable global havoc. If all prayers for recovery during sickness were uniformly answered – almost no one would die in which case our planet’s population would have skyrocketed millennia ago and rendered our Earth unfit for human habitation.” Is this not based on a Newtonian, for lack of a better word, perception of what the world is? Material (not spiritual) thus limited in scope, dimensions, and confined to the laws of cause and effect over space and time. You could not possibly miraculously heal yourself or others while perceiving that these laws indelibly prevail – that they accurately describe reality for they but describe the body’s perception of reality. Think outside the proverbial (enclosed three dimensional spacetime) box.
MIRACLES
The book “A Course In Miracles,” a Masterpiece, cannot emphasize enough that miracles are natural, that you are entitled to miracles and there are no large or small miracles, no order of difficulty, for they are beyond the laws of this world – they conform to the laws of God. ACIM’s core teaching is to get the student to forgive. Not in the moral, charitable sense but rather due to faith, knowing who and what you, everyone in fact, are in truth – Son of God; eternal and spiritual in nature and not a body pathetically vulnerable, subject to danger and tyranny, deterioration, disease and death. All these conditions are projections of a mind perceiving itself as a body, and in hell no less. In other words, you cannot be harmed, except in illusions. Therefore, forgiveness is a statement, or state of mind, affirming this truth as do miracles which are, in fact, plentiful reminding you of your, and your brothers, true Identity.
Here’s a very good site on the book, A Course In Miracles, and the content is free: https://acourseinmiraclesnow.com/
This was a post in the comments section of an online video I came across: “I remember living the journey of cancer and chemo and radiation and all the holistic stuff that didn’t work. The second that I realized that I was more powerful than any of it was the moment I began to heal. Nine years beyond that diagnosis, I am still practicing living a life of thrival not survival.”
I experience miracles regularly and all types. I’ve had spiritually transformative experiences (STEs), occasionally experience telepathy, precognitive dreams, teleportation or the manifestation of an object (twice), and innumerable synchronicities. Persons who spend time with me witness this and they too, begin to experience miracles if they hadn’t before. I cannot bring these events on, they seem to happen to me. In fact, on one occasion when I attempted to render a satellite inoperable (the technology (5G, computers, phones) industry being out of control in its efforts to perversely spy on and control everyone everywhere), what ceased operating that night was my computer and phone. When I attempted psychic healing (I studied a specific practice) I ended up with pains right where the healing was directed for others. There are indeed effective psychic healers – just not my forte apparently.
When you speak of these experiences to others you encounter many people who have had at least one miraculous experience. They open up to you and share their experiences. For example, in the 1980s an attorney told me of a very explicit precognitive dream he had of a passenger plane crash the night before it happened (1979 Chicago O’Hare Airport). My neighbor (presently) told me of a woman he dated during his twenties who could heal with her hands. He cited an incident where he told her that he had a bad hangover having been out drinking with friends the night before. She then placed her hand near the side of his head and the symptoms immediately disappeared.
My own miraculous experiences are what started me on the path to discover their nature, causes and the nature and meaning of life in general. This research included studying cosmology, physics, cellular biology, neuroscience and a little of the new origins of life scientific field – general scientific literacy, all at a layman’s level, as well as some philosophy. I’ve also researched, in depth, parapsychology, sometimes called the supernatural. When researching the supernatural you learn just how many people regularly have these types of experiences, and learn of some extraordinary persons, past and present: Daniel Dunglas Homes, Leonora Piper, Uri Geller, Ingo Swan, Ted Owens, as well as the great sufi masters, and so many others.
.
The PK Man, by Jeffrey Mishlove Ph.D., is a very good book about Ted Owens and more. PK in the book’s title refers to psychokinesis meaning the ability to affect matter by mental effort alone.
Because of greater access to information regarding these extraordinary abilities and due to resuscitation medicine and the many reports of the near death experience [NDE] we discover that NDErs report of heightened psychic abilities after their near death experience as well as the social and psychological impact of the experience had on their lives –they tend to become very spiritual afterwards.
NEAR DEATH AND SHARED NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES
Skeptics claim that the near death experience is a result of oxygen deficiency. However, Steve Taylor, Ph.D., in Psychology Today writes “Oxygen deficiency usually results in chaotic hallucinatory experiences and is associated with confusion and memory loss. NDEs are completely unlike this. They are serene, structured, and well-integrated experiences. During NDEs people could have a very low level of brain activity which is not picked up by EEG machines. On the other hand, it seems very unlikely that such a low level of brain activity could produce such vivid and intense conscious experiences. If there was any conscious experience, it would surely be dim, vague, and confused. In NDEs, by contrast, people often report becoming more alert than normal, with a very clear and intense form of awareness.”

From: An Essay In Medicine and Philosophy by Raymond Moody, M.D. Ph.D.
The last several decades of the twentieth century saw momentous breakthroughs in technology and procedures for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Widespread use of these new techniques soon dramatically increased the number of people who survived a close brush with death. By the mid-1970s, there were so many individuals who had undergone near death experiences that the phenomenon was bound to come to the attention of the public.
Numerous physicians and psychologists have interviewed large numbers of patients who recounted near death experiences. These physicians include, for example, cardiologist Michael Sabom, MD, psychiatrist Bruce Greyson, MD, cardiologist Pim Van Lommel, MD, resuscitation specialist Sam Parnia, MD, radiation oncologist Jeffrey Long, MD, psychologist Kenneth Ring, PhD, and others. All these authorities and others have published their findings and a large professional and popular literature on the subject has accumulated. A consensus has emerged among researchers that experiential reports of near-death experiences tend to conform to a discernible, common pattern.
Upon returning, these patients remark that their near-death experiences profoundly changed their lives. They say that their experiences convinced them personally that there is an afterlife so they no longer fear death. These patients say that whatever they might have been pursuing in their lives before – power, wealth, fame or something else – their experiences convinced them that the most important goal in life is to learn to love. Although they still find that goal as difficult to realize as anyone else, their near-death experiences commit them to pursuing love.
The occurrence of NDEs does not seem related to patients prior religious training or beliefs. Many people with no prior interest or background in religion report powerful NDEs after surviving grave medical crises. NDEs are not related to specific medical conditions. Patients with infections, trauma, cardiac arrest, complications of childbirth and many other diverse conditions have reported NDEs. There is wide variation in patient ages from the very young to the very old and every age between.
Attempts to explain NDEs in physical or neuropsychological terms have postulated complex seizures or brain anoxia. One problem with these explanations is that typical NDE phenomena often include deathbed bystanders. This is called a “shared death experience. (SDE)” The bystanders are neither ill nor injured. NDEs and SDEs are not caused by brain hypoxia or atypical seizures.

Dr. Moody on Shared Death Experiences:
Bystanders or onlookers at the death of a patient may include physicians, nurses, other medical personnel, and relatives or friends of the dying. Some of these bystanders report of SDEs (shared death experiences) that are often indistinguishable from near-death experiences. For example, bystanders sometimes say they saw a transparent replica of the dying person leave that person’s body at the point of death. Or they describe leaving their own bodies and rising up to accompany their dying loved one part way toward the light. Onlookers at someone else’s death also sometimes report that a brilliant light filled the room, they heard indescribably beautiful music and/or they perceived apparitions of the dead person’s deceased loved ones. Occasionally, onlookers empathically report that they co-lived the “life review” of the deceased person.
I first heard a shared death experience from one of my professors of medicine in December 1972. Since then, I have heard thousands of such accounts from physicians, nurses, kith and kin attendant at someone’s death. I want to re-emphasize that all the same elements of near-death experiences reported by people who almost die are also reported by onlookers at the death of someone else. As incredible as this statement may seem, it is easily confirmable by any thorough investigator who will considerately and sympathetically inquire among people who were present at the death of others. I do not know exactly what the incidence or prevalence of shared death experiences might be but they are common and under-reported.
From Dr. Moody’s book, Glimpses of Eternity:
There are many ways in which people die and many conditions in which a person’s death can be shared. Soldiers may share a comrade’s death on the battlefield, a daughter may share the death of a mother at her bedside, or a person may be with a stranger who is struck down by a speeding car and dies in a public place. But no matter what the circumstances elements of a shared death experience surface again and again.
Here’s an example of a shared death experience featured in Moody’s book:
A woman I’ll call Jane is sitting at the bedside of her husband of thirty years who is dying of cancer. He is no longer conscious and his attending physician says that death can take place at any time. She has been talking and holding his hand for several hours when she becomes aware of a change of energy that seems to pass through her. The feeling startles her and later she describes it as a feeling almost like the static shock you get from walking across a rug and touching a doorknob. The feeling energizes her and frightens her at the same time because she can tell her husband has actually died. As she looks at her husband a white mist rises and dissipates into the air above him. The room becomes brighter and fills with a white light that contains swirling particles suspended like dust in a dust storm. Jane feels light headed and suddenly realizes that she has left her body and is hovering above her husband’s hospital bed. She can see herself sitting next to his dead body which also seems stranger because she is aware of him floating next to her. She looks at him and he is smiling which is in stark contrast to the dead body which she sees below.
As the two hover together scenes of their life spring up around them. They travel through their life in memory fragments many of which have a panoramic quality to them; it’s as though she is surrounded by a movie of her own life. The scenes begin with their first joyous meeting and run all the way through all the difficult and tender times they went into his decline and eventual death. In the midst of these memory fragments they went through the scenes that Jane is not a part of, she sees him struggling at boot camp … and sees him with girlfriends he had before they met. She has a better understanding of her husband than ever before.
The couple seem to be moving toward the corner of the room. Jane notices a tube … that seems to be opening near the ceiling like a portal to elsewhere. She seems to be moving very quickly up this tube … until they have slowed down and now are emerging into a heavenly realm. The landscape that surrounds her and her husband is stunning … like a beautiful national park except that the plants are glowing from the inside as if they have their own internal source of light.
Jane and her husband walk together down a path. As they approach a stream she suddenly becomes aware that she can go no further. Although nothing is said she has a feeling the stream is a barrier beyond which she cannot go. She is happy for her husband because he is now pain free and out of his mortal body. She says goodbye and in a flash she is back in her earthly body sitting in the hospital room next to his corporeal body. She goes on to describe musical tones she’s never before heard throughout the experience.
To be complete we must address evil and the life review the NDEr experiences.
Dr. Eben Alexander, the neuroscientist who experienced an extraordinary NDE followed up by his miraculous healing from bacterial meningitis informs us: “The life review is not what an individual perceives simply from their own perspective, but rather it is an omnidirectional evaluation from everyone with whom we have interacted – we feel our words and actions through their eyes, and through their extended family and friends’ eyes and hearts, and through those who may read a news article about a public incident, etc. Crucially, we feel the emotional impact that our actions and thoughts have on everyone and from their perspective.”
“The perceived boundaries of our individual self turn out to be ephemeral, and the Oneness we share with all other beings becomes apparent. So, the murderer will feel the emotions, pain and sadness of the murder victim, and there is no escaping this. Magnify that by the number of people harmed or killed, and by the number of people around the world who are shocked around feelings for that murderer. These are intense feelings that will likely be a personal hell for the one having such a “life review.” After he completes his review, in the brilliant healing light of the unconditional love of Source, he will come to better understand the crucial role of love.“

POSTSCRIPT
What is being illustrated in all of the cases above is the extent and influence of the mind; its ability to extend beyond the brain, influence matter (including one’s own body as in the placebo effect) and greatly enhance one’s wisdom and intelligence. As well, the realization that “perceived” concrete physical parameters are illusory and that the world is not separate and apart from the perceiver. Rather, that one’s consciousness is in fact primary and unified, interconnected with all including Divine Intelligence thus endowed with divine qualities. The physicalist/materialist would argue the opposite; that consciousness is a result, or product, of the brain (no brain, no consciousness) and reality is entirely subject to causality over space and time – the Newtonian, pool ball physics view of materialism. Although quantum physicists have lately entered the debate offering their “transcendent” experimentally verified findings involving particles at nano, atomic scales.
For example:
1. “Entanglement,” or action at a distance, is where an effect on atomic particles originally co-existing in the same quantum state (coherent, or in phase, photons (particles of light) in a laser beam, for example) then separated. A measurement is then made on one particle which simultaneously influences the other regardless of the distance between them.
2. The “observer effect” is where the observer merely observing influences the results (as in the double slit experiment involving photons).
3. The “delayed choice quantum eraser” experiment is where a laser beam is split sending entangled, in phase, photons through a partially silvered mirror with half the photons going through the glass and the other half reflected. The photons that go through the mirror travel a shorter distance to a detector (a) than the reflected photons sent on a bit of an obstacle course before arriving at detector (b). Just before the photons arrive at detector (b) they are polarized. Photons having arrived at detector (a) first, reveal the polarizing effects occurring later at detector (b) – before the polarizing effects occurred.
This is all too brief and I’ve used photons as an example. Other and larger particles (electrons and molecules) in some of these cases (1 & 2) have been observed to exhibit the same or similar behavior.
Also, back to extended consciousness, what I did not include that suggests the primacy and transcendent extent of consciousness is telepathy and remote viewing. Remote viewing is where a suitably trained person is capable of visualizing the topography of a distant scene, or to even see a scene through another’s eyes at a distant location. They communicate their visions by sketching them on paper. There are circumstances where remote viewers were able to accurately convey precognitively where another was and what they were seeing; prior to that person’s arrival at a particular location or even knowing where they were going to be.
The other important research findings I have not included is Dr. Masura Emoto’s revolutionary work studing the effects of words, thoughts and feelings on water, specifically on water crystals. Using high-speed photography, Dr. Emoto discovered that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward them, such as love, disgust, forgiveness, thankfulness. He’s written many books on the subject. The Hidden Messages in Water was a New York Times best seller.
It seems appropriate that I should end this essay with a link to a musically and visually beautiful video – a tribute to Dr. Emoto’s poetic words and work:
