Suppose a person dreamed that he/she was a unicorn happily
strolling along a sandy tropical beach. Upon awakening, how could that person
determine whether he/she had just finished dreaming that he/she was a unicorn,
or a unicorn that had just started dreaming about being a person?
The human brain emits nerve impulses at various rates in cycles
per second, measures by hertz (Hz).
There are five states of human brain nerve wave.
- Delta -- 0 to 3 Hz
- Theta -- 4 to 7 Hz
- Alpha -- 8 to 13 Hz
- Beta -- 14 to 40 Hz
- Gamma -- 41 to 100 Hz
Delta wave rate is the lowest of all five brain wave frequencies
-- deep sleep, detached awareness -- certain frequencies within the Delta range
trigger the release of human growth hormone which aids in regeneration and
healing -- the subconscious mind "flows" to the conscious mind
(potential intuition).
Upon awakening, the brain typically moves quickly toward the Alpha
wave rate -- relaxation, awareness expands, sense of well-being & peace,
new ideas, fresh creativity energy -- the frequency of the resonant frequency
of the earth's electromagnetic field.
Once wide awake, you enter the Beta wave rate -- alert, cognizant,
focused, primed for concentration and problem solving, physical coordination,
full attention, peak performance.
If you exceed the Beta range, you fall into the Gamma wave state
-- anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, panic attack, peak arousal.
During
a typical human day, we go from Delta (deep sleep) to Alpha (relaxation &
awareness) to Beta (full throttle activity). We basically pass through the
Theta wave state, fairly rapidly and unnoticed, as we go from Delta (sleep) to
Alpha (awakening).
The
Theta wave state is only experienced momentarily as we fall asleep and into the
Delta state. However, when we fall into the REM dream state during a dream, our
nerve impulses temporarily drift into the Theta state until the culmination of
the dream.
The
Theta wave state is where the mysterious adventure begins. This is the zone of
nerve impulses of psychics, Zen Masters, shaman -- a zone of spiritual
experiences, an altered state of reflective dreamlike consciousness, deep
meditation, awakened intuition, inspiration, self-hypnosis, light trance -- a visionary
state of consciousness whereby your mind expands into becoming receptive to
dimensions beyond normal consciousness awareness within the present confines of
earthly existence.
When
you reach the Theta wave state, your pineal gland (third eye) in the middle of
the brain becomes fully open to a brain circuitry whereby self-consciousness is
able to separate from ego consciousness and travel within alternate levels of reality,
in other dimensions beyond our physical world.
Over
time, I have learned how to transform my body and mind into a deep meditative
state within the Theta wave state with amazing results, somehow connecting with
a higher intelligence and spiritual realities. It has been a life altering
experience, compelling me to examine my spiritual purpose and embark on a
journey of awareness beyond earthly consciousness.
May
the Force be with you.
