ORMUS, Memory Effects and the Nature of Time

[At the end discuss the nature of time using quotes from Matti and Seth.]

Marky:

The very first time I drank it, I got a sensation exactly like what you described in your post several days later:

>While I was stirring in the TSP and lye solutions I noticed that I was

>feeling quite high. It was a bit like a pot high, but without the

>distortion and memory loss that pot gives.

I felt the same sense of being high without being muddled -- just a bright sort of mental and visual clarity combined with a sense of emotional and spiritual light-heartedness. It was so pronounced that I wasn't able to relegate it to imaginative thinking. And after that initial experience, I didn't have any more altered states. But I do notice that the more I have of raw foods in my diet (perhaps in combination with the m-state?), the more energy I have and the less sleep I need. However, I'm not being

Avi:

I seem to be pretty good at making the "Red Wine" and I can truthfully say that I was taking up to 32 ounces a day (one week) and had no amazing results either... I was testing it to see what the max dose before fry was... I began losing short term memory at 32 ounces. In small doses, I never got anything either... Were talking doing it for over a year and a half. So don't feel bad... Keep going and you may stumble across something real.

Saul:

Yes I drank them. Caused a fusing of left and right hemispheres, so that I had complete control over my dreams. It made dreamtime and daytime very much closer together. I would recommend it to anyone who had the luxury of taking a few years off. Meaning that I cared a lot less about day to day business affairs and getting to the office when I took it. Since I am self-employed, it makes a big difference when I don't show up. So I stopped taking it when it was done. Since then my business has skyrocketed. I would say I experienced an increase in intuition that lasted for a year or so.

Jeanie:

Some time ago, Marky mentioned a similar effect as you described ("dreamy," in-the-moment state which caused her to forget/neglect earthly duties) when ingesting m-state made from Masada Dead Sea salts. As synchronicity would have it, I just posted a friend of mine yesterday (not on this forum) describing a comparable "state" I found myself in as well (I have been taking Great Salt Lake m-state sporadically -- Barry also mentioned to me that once they are in your system it is possible that they continue to attract more -- ???). I don't feel control over my dreams, but could be this is a "touching upon the shore." What follows here is the pertinent excerpt from that post -- feel free to comment:

Saul:

I agree with Gary about the memory thing, and I am experiencing the same thing. I also live with a zillion post-it notes.

However, I am not positive that it began with the ingestion of the ORMES. In fact I suspect it began nine years ago when I spontaneously went through the kundalini experience, and got a little scorched around the edges. (Explosions of light in the brain, fusing of vertebrae, etc.)

One positive(?) aspect to this is that I can reread books now and not remember what was on the next page, (like I used to), so it is an adventure to reread good old books (sacred geometry, etc.) cause they seem new and fresh.

It's funny, ever since I returned from my trip to India to see Sai Baba in 1992 (a very intense spiritual experience), my memory has not really been the same. While I do have good recall of facts when I need them (in fact it's spooky the detail I can recall sometimes), I'm not very well focused on the past or future events and tend to be quite "absent minded" about time and appointments. In fact, time goes by very fast for me. I am very much "HERE" in the present, and it's like there's nothing in my brain until I need it for what I'm doing. Sometimes when people ask me simple or broad questions, my mind is really blank and I have to stop and think about what the answer is, but it almost always comes to me after a few seconds (definite time delay though--sometimes misunderstood by others). It's like stuff is in storage somewhere on a hard drive--but it's not in my RAM memory, and I need to access it from somewhere deep in my brain. I always thought I might be suffering from some weird form of dementia, but given what other people are saying here, perhaps it's something of a spiritual development instead. (I also experience the "energy rod" emanating from out of the top of my head going up about maybe 1 1/2 to 2 feet and an associated "pressure" in my head--especially when I'm writing or meditating. I feel it now as I am writing this.)

There is, however, a distinct difference between being "fuzzy-headed" and being "absent-minded" in this way. I have experienced both, and I attribute the fuzzy-headed, unfocused state of mind to poor health or fatigue. The absentmindedness, on the other hand, allows for clear thinking and sharp focus.

Gary mentioned this sort of thing in connection with kundalini awakening:

--------------------------------------------

Dear J. McInnis,

At the present time, I have not gone through ego death, but have come close enough to that point to know what it is, and that it is an unavoidable part of the process. My ego has been crippled, but is still basically functional. I found the partial loss, and prospect of total loss, of my ego to be very discomfiting. The "ego" (in the sense I am using it) controls (I have discovered) my will, memory, passions, desires, goals, aspirations, hopes, motivation, functions that have to do with planning, future projections, - anything that is in some way a "want" and/or is not related to the Here-Now-Present.

The semi-disconnection of memory is the worst thing about it, for me as an engineer. It is a growing forgetfulness or absent mindedness, a recall problem, rather than forgetting. The info is still in there. It is not very severe so far, but I can see long term memory would be affected worse with more progress. I have not identified just what is going on with memory, to have figured out just how to handle it, and that is the main problem. My mind doesn't work in past and future modes like it used to. It is becoming more present-tense oriented, and that affects memory access (as well as perceptions of the future). It is kind of hard to explain.

I have compensated somewhat by using tons of post-it notes and making lists of things to remember. I usually try to write things down immediately and not rely on casual recall. It has not affected my organizational ability, and only affected my analytical skills to the extent that memory of details are concerned. It is not as bad as it probably sounds. Just inconvenient.

----------------------------------------------------

Dear Iron,

Please refer to my responses to J. McInnis and Byrun Fox for explanation of the ego death, as far as I can relate from experience.

In some of Dave's presentations, he describes the progress of the unnamed fellow who has been taking the WPG material in large amounts. In one of these, Dave relates that the man became so sensitive that he retreated to a remote spot in New Mexico to be alone.

During awakening, ones' collection of personal karma has to be burned away, at one point or another. Doing that involves suffering by the individual. The karma is stored in the body tissues somehow, and when kundalini goes through and purges out all the nadis, this karma is released either as a side effect, or direct action (I can't tell which) and it causes the suffering when released. Some people may have "Happy" karma in there that causes them Joy, or the opposite of suffering. As far as I could tell, 99% of mine was soot-black. On a small number of occasions (far too few) I had experiences of spontaneous joy. But mostly it ranges from very stressful, wired, and unpleasant, to dark and despondent. Along with everything else I got a replay of every disease symptom and injury pain I've ever had or was scheduled to have.

In general, the faster the awakening proceeds, the more intense the suffering, since the same amount of karma has to be dealt with over a shorter time. And the stress on the organism would be proportionately greater. Should the suffering become too intense, the person could easily become suicidal. If a person took too large a dose, perhaps you can see that the effect would begin to approximate an internal explosion of energy and karma, and could exceed what the human body and spirit can withstand and still remain connected together.

But I don't want to over state the situation either: it was bad, but it wasn't *that* bad. It wasn't undoable; I would say even a frail person could do it with care and prudence. I cannot imagine a better method than WPG to accomplish this, to bring the opportunity for awakening to the people at large.

There are also some built-in safety checks at work: (1) Kundalini is a *supremely intelligent force*; she knows *exactly* what she is doing. You will be amazed at how hard it works for you and for your benefit when you see it in action fighting disease, or healing an injury. The ultimate physician to have on your side during an awakening. (2) Having control of the dosage (or pranayama intensity in my case) allows you to back off when things get too tough. You can go at your own rate. (3) The higher self watches the whole thing like a hawk. Success is not guaranteed, but you should not be discouraged just because it is not roses all the way either. Just know what you're getting into before you start. Its a one-way ride.

The Dark Night of the Soul that Dave's friend is, or was, going through is how it is while this is going on. Ego death is the culmination of it. Lets all hope that he came through it, and is ok now. My hat is off to him. I would have *loved* to have been alone in the desert.

Avi:

Didn't I read in one of the many articles regarding the theoretical behaviour of M-State ingestion, that one many experience sudden spontaneous memory lapses? I have suddenly forgottten the pin number for my ATM card (three years after using it all the time) and other things. Someone else using the Essene's M-3 material for over 60 days (1 teaspoon per day) also reports the same things. His big one is driving to work and suddenly wondering where in his journey to the office he is. He knows he going to work but the immediate geography does not look familiar. This happens to me too. There are other's who suddenly get stupid as well. It seems to be only for a few moments and then your OK. Except in my case where I still cannot remember the damn PIN (three days later).

Marky

>work but the immediate geography does not look familiar.

This is *exactly* what happened to me when taking the ozonated gold chloride. It was *very* bizarre to be going the same route as always and suddenly not knowing quite where I was.

John:

I have also experienced some temporary memory loss associated with these materials. I have always considered memory loss to be a symptom of excessive consumption and have therefore reduced my dosage accordingly.

I don't have a scientific justification for my contention that memory loss is related to over- consumption. However, I have found that my memory improves quickly when I cut back on my dosage. It doesn't help to put 20 gallons of gas in a car with a 10 gallon tank.

I spend three or four consecutive days each month abstaining from ormes and diatoms. During that period, I take large amounts of vitamin C, L-Cystine, and various antioxidants. I always feel somewhat refreshed after these periods of abstention and the diatomic and "monatomic" materials that I take seem to work better.

During the past year, I have noticed that my past seems more like a dream. The memories are all still there. I just have to access them differently. There barriers between "real life" and dream life seem to have been somewhat blurred. I believe that the distinctions we make between dream reality and waking reality are somewhat illusory. So maybe this is a good thing.

Daniel,

My mind doesn't work in past and future modes like it used to. It is becoming more present-tense oriented, and that affects memory access (as well as perceptions of the future). It is kind of hard to explain.)"

This is happening to me as well.

From my understanding, when the ego is less attached, things simply do not matter as much anymore. Forgetfulness thus is simply letting things slide because they are not important (in the whole scheme of things.)

This, Gary says, is due to the awakening of kundalini. Avi and all are equating it with the consumption of m-state. They are obviously related, as well as the dying of the ego in general. All people who are able to surrender control and ego do not need m-state to make it to these levels of consciousness.

This shows us again, that the m-state is an aid, albeit an incredibly powerful one. In Barbara Brennan school of healing, the teachers (from time to time) go up to the front of the class to teach and then completely blank out. They end up asking for class questions or simply speaking what comes to them on the spot (somewhat like channeling).

Thomas:

"Such is the state of the wayfarers in this Valley; but the people of the Valleys above this see the end and the beginning as one; nay, they see neither beginning nor end, and witness neither "first" nor "last." [Qur'án 57:3.] Nay rather, the denizens of the undying city, who dwell in the green garden land, see not even "neither first nor last"; they fly from all that is first, and repulse all that is last. For these have passed over the worlds of names, and fled beyond the worlds of attributes as swift as lightning. Thus is it said: "Absolute Unity excludeth all attributes." [Saying attributed to `Alí.] And they have made their dwelling-place in the shadow of the Essence."

Baha'u'llah, Seven Valleys

Me:

Like Gary, I have initiated a new set of triggers to jog my memory. It is not that the knowledge is not there any more, rather is is more like there is a new set of intervening circuits which I must negotiate to access the information.

Knowland:

As for my memory loss since taking ORMES here is my penny's worth. Ten years ago at age 60 I was beginning to have a lot of forgetfulness, and I attributed it to just growing old. Then 8 years ago I started drinking Essiac tea and a year or so later the improve version "Vitalitea." which provides about 50 mg in one dose. I didn't notice any abrupt changes in anything except that over a long period of time I was feeling better and more functional and it seemed like I was not quite so forgetful.

For over a year now I have been taking 100 mg. per day of the ORMES in the chloride form along with the tea and if anything. memory doesn't seem so important, but I think I might be less forgetful. This is not to say I have anywhere near perfect memory but like Thomas states below I don't pay as much attention to things which don't seem to be important. When I become most forgetful is when I am rushing around in the 3 the dimensional world (ego oriented reality) trying to accomplish too much in too little time which my mind thinks are important, when in reality it doesn't matter. Things that I don't remember seem to come back at the appropriate time if I just let go of the emotional drive behind the searching. When memory takes a holiday relax and let go-- the universe has something else for you at the time.

Buzz:

I flash to times in the past, even during waking hours, and seem to be able to do and feel things as if I were there yet again, only with a new script. I can imagine myself puffing out of my house and going to Florida to sit on a beach for a few minutes. The time I leave doesn't matter, there is no connection in time of day. I try not to do this when I'm in my office. I don't like hitting my desk with my eyes open.

Several times I have slid to the edge and almost nodded out, but years of working with psychoactive preparations have given me a bit of an autopilot. The worst moment so far was during a fact finding tour comprising a state senator and a congressman, their entourage, and two complete units of press personnel. I was explaining our powerplant and just went flatline stupid yet awake. I couldn't even breathe right. Somewhere inside I was fully aware that I couldn't move, talk, or breathe, and was getting really pissed that these people would think that I had stage fright or worse, was uninformed. Gradually, I came back on line, and finished the tour. I really was concerned that some idiot would call an ambulance, and then I'd be treated for some heart trauma or stroke. It was just the m-3 pulling my plugs.

Oddly, when I got back to being me, I was better. I did have to get used to colors, my key rings, and the people who gave me a year's worth of shit at the test site. Two of the three sob's are now under strict observation in a department of their own where they will have to perform or get the ax. I couldn't be happier about that.

m-3 never strikes twice in the same place or the same way. It also doesn't give a rat's ass about who you are or what you are doing at the time. Driving requires absolute certainty, and I have never had a problem with that. I've gotten to recognize the onset of what I've been calling "senior moments" to take the sting out of the pregnant pauses when I'm recalling something with someone else watching or listening. Memory is the most constantly attacked thing when taking m-3. It's the keying that changes, the recall is the same or better once I relax and wait for the return. I try to look pensive then. I'm really freaked, however. I've never been so broadly scaled, stupid to smart all at once.

One of the limiting rules we believe in is time. Seth claims that time is a local phenomenon within our physical reality and does not necessarily apply in other states of awareness. This concept is also being echoed by some modern physicists. Here is some of what Seth says about time in "The Unknown Reality":

At 9:45 PM 2/27/74, Seth said:

Now: Basically, the cell's comprehension straddles time as you think of it. Period.

Mankind's consciousness, however, experimented along time-specific lines. As he developed along those lines, various biological and mental methods of selectivity and discrimination were utilized. When in historic terms mankind became aware of memory, and recalled his past as a past in your terms, it was possible for him to confuse past and present. Vivid memories, out of context but given immediate neurological validity, could compete with the brilliant focus necessary in his present.

Though the past is actually quite as immediate, alive, and creative as the present is, man made certain adjustments, on several layers, that would focus definite distinctions and set past and present experience apart. While your particular kind of consciousness was developing, it began to intensify selectivity, to concentrate specifically in a small area of activity while blocking out other data. This was necessary because the particular kind of physical manipulation of corporal existence required instant physical response to immediately present stimuli.

(9:55.) Such selectivity and specialization therefore represented a pertinent method, as consciousness familiarized itself with earthly experience. Hunters had to respond at once to the present situation. In time terms, the "present" animal had to be killed for food--not the "past" animal. That animal--the past one--existed as surely as the one presently perceived, yet in man's context, physical action had to be directed to a highly specific area, for physical survival depended upon it.

(Pause, and slowly:) The cells' basic innocence of time discrimination had to be bypassed. At deeply unconscious levels the neurological structure is more highly adaptable than it appears. Adjustments were made, therefore. Basically, the neurological structure responds to both past and future data Biologically, then, such activity is built-in. The specialized "new" kind of consciousness in one body had to respond pinpoint fast. Therefore it focused upon only one series of neurological messages.

(As Seth, Jane was enunciating the material very carefully, almost syllable by syllable, as though to give me time to write it down without error. Her diction in trance is usually excellent, though; it's not often that I have to ask her to repeat a word or phrase.)

These became more and more biologically prominent, so that man's consciousness rode them, or leaped upon them. These particular pulses or messages became the biologically and mentally accepted ones. They were clued into sense perception, then. These pulses or messages became the only official data that, translated into sense perception, formed physical reality. This selectivity gave an understandable line of reference from interior to exterior existence.

(10:10. Deliberately but intently:) Other quite-as-valid messages were ignored. They became, while present, biologically invisible. The cells still reacted to these otherwise neglected pulses, as they needed data from both the past and future to maintain the body's balance in "the present." The necessity for immediate conscious exterior action at a "definite" point of intersection with events was left to the emerging ego consciousness.

While the cells required future and past data, and used it to form from that invisible tension the body's present corporal reality, the same kind of information could be a threat then to the ego consciousness, which could be overwhelmed. Within the corporal structure, however, there are indeed messages that leap too quickly or too slowly from your viewpoint to allow for any physical response. In that way cellular comprehension is allowed its free flow; but the selectivity mentioned (in sessions 682-3) bypasses such information, so that it does not conflict with present sense data requiring physical action in time.

Other pulses, carrying messages, are quite as valid as those that you perceive and physically react to. Again, the cells respond to those constantly. The body, as mentioned (in the 685th session) is an electromagnetic pattern, poised in a web of probabilities, experienced as corporal at an intersection point in space and time.

When man, speaking in your terms of history, began to experiment with memory, there were innumerable instances where the emerging ego consciousness did not distinguish clearly enough between the past and present, as you understand them.

The past, in the present, would appear so brilliantly that man could not react adequately in circumstances of time that he had himself created. The future was blocked, practically speaking (long pause), to preserve freedom of action and to encourage physical exploration, curiosity, and creativity. With memory, however, mental projections into the future were of course also possible so that man could plan his activities in time, and foresee probable results: "Ghost images" of the future probabilities always acted as mental stimuli for physical explorations in all areas, and of all kinds.

____________________________________

Please note that this passage ties together the concept of microtubule "conscious selection" from both past and future as well as probable or multiple realities. It gives an "evolutionary" reason for our present lack of awareness regarding future and past perceptions. Though Seth uses the term "cell" it is obvious that he is talking about cellular structures as well.

In an earlier session in The Unknown Reality, Seth described the conscious selection from probable realities a bit further:

Body is also pattern Period. While the material that composes it changes constantly, the pattern maintains its own integrity. The form is etched in space and time, and yet the pattern itself exists outside of that framework also--the body is a projection, therefore, into the three-dimensional field.

The consciousnesses of the cells within it, however, are eternal. The physical framework, then, is itself composed of immortal stuff. The projection in time and space may disappear, in your terms, wither and die. The main identity continues to exist, even as the consciousnesses of millions of cells still exist that at one time were part of the body.

(A one-minute pause at 9:59.)

While inhabited by the usual human consciousness, the living body operates as an intense focus point. The conglomeration of consciousnesses within it on all levels focuses its own network of communication. This private network is connected to all others like it. There are levels of interaction then simply between all bodies, electromagnetically and biologically. The network is more far-reaching than that, however. Not only can all cells respond to each other, but their mass activity triggers even higher centers of consciousness to respond to a given set of world conditions, rather than to other quite-as-legitimate world conditions that do not fit the accepted pattern. Probabilities to some extent, then, are determined along cellular lines. This should be obvious.

(A long pause, one of many, at 10:07.) The body's very structure will in itself set patterns for the kinds of probabilities that can be practically experienced. The source-reality out of which all else springs is never predetermined=3D97that is, predestined, or even set. The universe in any= terms is always being created. Period.

When consciousness is being specified, it always sees itself at the center of its world. All specifications of consciousness and all phenomenal appearances occur when the basic units of consciousness, the CU's [Consciousness Units, might correspond to quantum foam], emerge into EE [Electromagnetic Energy] units, and hence into the dimensions of actuality in your terms. Your mainly accepted normal consciousness is within the matter of your body, and through it--the body--you view your world. There is nothing to prevent you from viewing your body from a standpoint outside of it, except that you have been taught that consciousness is imprisoned within the flesh. ________________________________

In another section of the same book Seth talks about a sort of hereditary "back action" from the future:

For example: It is truer to say that heredity operates from the future backward into the past, than it is to say that it operates from the past into the present. Neither statement would be precisely correct in any case, because your present is a poised balance affected as much by the probable future as the probable past.

At no time, as a rule, is your body not here to you. Your experience seems centered within it, with the rest of the world safely outside. However, the particular selectivity of your kind of consciousness rides over lapses that you do not recognize. In a manner of speaking, your bodies blink off and on like lights. Their reality fluctuates, from your standpoint. For that matter, so does the physical universe.

You can understand what is meant by saying that your consciousness fluctuates--for each individual is aware of various intensities and concentrations. You are more alert, or, in your terms, more conscious on some occasions than others. Now the same applies to these units of consciousness--and to atoms, molecules, electrons, and other such phenomena. The world literally blinks off and on. This reality of fluctuation in no way bothers your own feeling of consistency, however. The "holes (spelled) of nonexistence" are plugged up by the process of selectivity. This process chooses significances then, again, around which experience is built, and around which "life" is felt. The very sensations of one kind of life then automatically set up barriers against other such "world-schemes" that do not correlate with their own.

It is impossible for you to examine an atom, a cell, or anything else except in your now. Period. Because your sense experience follows a time pattern that you can understand, then you take it for granted that a cell, for example, is the result of its past, and that its present condition arises from the past. The fetus grows into an adult, not because it is programmed from the past, but because it is to some extent precognitively aware of its probabilities, and from the "future" then imprints this information into the past structure.

>From your viewpoint, however, an examination of a cell will not show you that, but only its present condition. It should appear obvious from what I am saying that neither future nor past is predetermined. From your platform of poised now-experience, You alter both the past and the future, and that alteration, that change, that action, causes your point of immediate sense life.

(Long pause.) The precious privacy of your existence, and indeed of your universe, is all the more miraculous, so to speak, precisely because its probable reality emerges from an infinite field of probabilities, each forever inviolate. (Long pause.) It is important that these ideas be considered.

You cannot separate your beliefs about reality from the reality that you experience. That is, your beliefs about reality form it. Your ideas about what is possible and what is not possible are reflected in all areas.

It is almost impossible to begin with concepts of one isolated universe, one self at the mercy of its past, one time sequence, and end up with any acceptable theory of a multi-dimensional soul or godhead that is anything else but a glorified personified concept of what you think man is.

Not only do your metaphysics and sciences suffer, but your daily experience as a human being is far less than it could be. There are, then, probabilities quite present, and for that matter biologically practical, that would allow for a change in individual consciousness so great as literally to propel the race into another level of experience entirely. As in your terms the cavemen ventured out into the daylight of the earth, so there is a time for man to venture out into a greater knowledge of his subjective reality, to explore the dimensions of selfhood and go beyond the small areas of himself in which he has thus far found shelter.
