THE PINEAL GLAND, BRAIN HEMISPHERE SYNCHRONIZATION, AND UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF WHAT WE'RE INVOLVED IN It has long been suspected by various people within the ORMUS community that use of the so called “high-spin” or M-state induces changes in the individual far beyond the sensorium. Early on I had seen on several postings on www.subtleenergies.com/ormus, the website run by Barry Carter, that there was electroencephalograph (eeg) evidence that ingestion of certain commercial products containing ORMUS induced whole brain synchronization in completely inexperienced people. This caught my attention, as I had been using binaural beat technology from The Monroe Institute for several years. I heard Barry Carter speak at Wesak at Mount Shasta, and I could not wait to return home and try the magnetic vortex traps he described on the water from the mountain spring which collects in my springbox down the hill. I purchased a Winter sink trap online and began to produce trap water that had the greasy metallic taste and look of ORMUS water described online, and began to experiment with the traps and the magnets. It ended up producing magnetic trap water which gave Barry “the whirlies." He is a man who has had every available commercial product and who considers himself immune and bulletproof. But this is a story about ORMUS, not the traps we make, except to say that all of this has been done with the magnetic vortex trap water we make with our traps. I have taken many, many commercial preparations costing many dollars, but have used trap water almost exclusively since mid 2005. I should say by way of background that I have meditated several times a week for twenty or so years and have a long seeking spiritual background. I attended the Gateway Voyage at The Monroe Institute in June, 2004. Robert Monroe wrote several books about out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and studied and developed the process which had been discovered by Dove in the 1830's. It was found in the 1800's that when two different tones are played in the ears, the brain will literally create a third tone (the following tone) from the difference between the two original tones, and that the brain can come in to full synchronization as a result. This is to say that the left and right hemispheres and frontal lobes produce synchronized rhythms in unison, and that this effect spreads to the midbrain and brainstem as well such that the entire brain is lit up and harmonized energetically. Several layers of different tones can be produced for combinations, such as “mind awake, body asleep.” Advanced meditators and psychics, healers and out-of-body all could be “recorded” doing their thing, and through reverse engineering a customized whole brain state of synchronization could be produced at will. But this is not a story about The Monroe Institute or out-of-body experiences, except to say that I state without a doubt in my mind, ORMUS enhances and facilitates such experiences. I recently was “recorded” with a 22 lead eeg while I ingested a 12 ounce glass of my magnetic trap water. Within minutes of ingestion of the glass of trap water I was in a deep alpha rhythm with spikes of beta. Alpha is associated with deep relaxation and beta with alertness; in Monroe parlance this “mind awake, body asleep” is called Focus 10. Rather than producing such a state in a darkened isolation booth with my eyes closed, I was sitting at the table having a conversation about my intention in the session. We decided to continue with eyes open, sitting at the table. With some concentration, I was recorded in deep delta rhythm in both hemispheres and my frontal lobes producing minute-long spikes of gamma. Delta is the rhythm of deep sleep and meditation, and gamma spikes (even faster than beta) have been observed in individuals who have meditated for forty years, eight hours a day. Such individuals typically produced twenty or thirty second-long spikes of gamma. I was able to carry on a conversation simultaneously, though I felt somewhat phased out of my physical body as if I was having awareness of both my physical self and my energetic self at the same time ("interdimensional" is the word). Such rhythms persisted for as long as an hour, with spikes of gamma lasting for as long as three and a half minutes. This was shown to a sleep researcher, who pronounced it , "Impossible!" Then he saw it happen in his lab. This has recently been repeated in another individual (39 year old female) with similar results from 12 ounces of trap water. It is my belief and experience that such expanded energy states are transformational. Such expanded states produce out-of-body experiences and great clearings and healings, both for the individual and for those inclined to share it, and finally for the planet, too. I feel truly fortunate to have discovered both ORMUS and hemi-synch. Perhaps it is the "X Factor" that David Icke talks about... Recently a series of Kirlian “Aura Photos” were taken before and 30 minutes after after ingestion of 12 ounces of CHEROKEE TEARS magnetic trap water. Results were startling; an example appears at the top of this page. My point, of course, is that believe it or not this ORMUS water is doing something as demonstrated by the documented 22-channel eeg showing whole brain coherent synchronization while in an awake state from a simple glass of water. The implications to clinical medicine, to personal transformation, to healing and peacemaking and even personal and planetary ascension are stunning and mean ORMUS and the rediscovery of its existence and its production are the most important and significant discoveries in the history of mankind. I think of ORMUS as a fuel additive; it is not the fuel, not the journey, not the destination.
