ORMUS and Meditation

 

Here is my favorite theory about the relationship between meditation and ORMUS.

I was "initiated" into Transcendental Meditation in 1969. At that time I had already been doing other "spiritual processes" for about four years. I started at the age of sixteen. (That's not all I did, I also got drunk a couple times and dropped acid a couple times and used other illegal substances a few times.)

When I started meditating, I did not notice much of anything. On the other hand, when I first took a B vitamin supplement in 1968 I got a huge rush from it. The second time, not so much. After that nothing at all.

I also did not notice much of anything when I tasted the drop of pure ORMUS which escaped from a sealed plastic bottle except that it "slicked" my lips. I have never had the kind of strong immediate effects from ORMUS that many people have reported.

In David Hudson's third newsletter he wrote:

"Twelve people have taken the rhodium and iridium in the 500 mg per day amounts. Of the people -- five have experienced no effects. Those five people were all anxious for the material to work but it didn't.

"Four of the five people were strict vegetarians. They already were hearing the high frequency sound in their head prior to taking the powder. These four people were already seeing the angels in their meditations. Rather than working better on these people, there seemed to be no effect at this rate.

"I have concluded therefore, that these people had already achieved the first level naturally"

I think that most of the things people notice when they first take ORMUS have more to do with disorientation or exploration of new areas of access than anything else. When I first started learning to ride a bicycle, I was quite wobbly till I started to get the hang of it. I think that this is similar to "the whirlies".

I would also like to add another word to help define meditation. For me, the state of meditation is a state of allowing which might also be described as "forgetting to worry". Over the past 45 years I have collected many quotes from spiritual teachings which describe this allowing or "forgetting" receptivity principle including this one from Rumi:

"For sixty years I have been forgetful, every minute, but not for a second has this flowing toward me stopped or slowed."

Lao Tzu said it as well:

whena man is in turmoil how shall he find peace

Save by staying patient till the stream clears?

How can a man's life keep its course

If he will not let it flow?

Those who flow as life flows know

They need no other force:

They feel no wear, they feel no tear,

They need no mending, no repair.

-Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu

Here is a Zen koan on this subject:

Sitting quietly, doing nothing, the spring comes and the grass grows by itself.

anda quote from the I Ching:

Mountains standing close together:

The image of KEEPING STILL.

Thus the superior man

Does not permit his thoughts

To go beyond his situation

The heart thinks constantly. This cannot be changed, but the movements of the heart--that is, a man's thoughts--should restrict themselves to the immediate situation. All thinking that goes beyond this only makes the heart sore.

 

and Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount:

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.  Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?  Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. 

Are ye not much better than they?  Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?  And why take ye thought for raiment?  Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 

Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?  or, What shall we drink?  or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.  Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

-Matthew 6:25-34

Here is another quote on this subject from the Abraham-Hicks material:

When you are in the vibration of appreciation, you are in the vibration of allowing. Whatever it is you are appreciating, you are allowing, with that much more emphasis, in the now. In other words, it speeds the process.

If we were wanting to reach for joyful experience, or the experience of connection, we would superimpose the word "appreciation", because it is a purer vibration for most. When you say, "I want that, or I have to have that," sometimes it can get messy.

But when you say, "I surely do appreciate that," there is very little contradictory vibration within you. And you are much more likely to then use that as your excuse to allow what you've been telling the Universe, all along, with your yippees and yahoos, that you are wanting.

The art of letting it in says, "Well-being abounds, and I'm a worthy receiver of it. And when I think that thought, I don't let it in. When I think that thought, I let it in a little more. And when I think that thought, I really let it in. I choose that thought." Do I choose that thought because it is reality? Do I choose that thought because my parents agree with it? No, but I choose that thought because it lets it in.

From Abraham-Hicks Workshop, Syracuse, NY-- 9/30/00

For most people, learning to allow, through meditation, is a discipline. For many it takes effort to quit expending the effort of worrying and fretting. I think that ORMUS puts us into a receptive, allowing state but I don't think that it automatically changes our limiting beliefs (beliefs are habits of thought). Thus, we may still manifest things we don't want (and manifest them more quickly) when we go into the state of allowing that ORMUS facilitates.

I don't believe that ORMUS steals our free will. We can still focus on suffering and get suffering, while taking ORMUS.

I believe that each of us creates our own reality because there is plenty of infinity to go around. All ORMUS seems to do is to shorten the echo time between what we think/feel about and what happens in our world. I don't believe that anyone else can put something in my life without my implicit agreement.

I have believed this since I first learned about it in the late sixties and early seventies especially from reading the Seth books by Jane Roberts. You can find quotes from the Seth books by doing a search on Seth in the archives of this forum.

Though I have been aware that I create my own reality for the last forty years, I am still learning to change the channel from beating the drum of what I don't want to focusing on what I do want. ORMUS seems to help by giving me more immediate feedback.
