Tuning to a Universe of Your Own
The Anatomy of the Multi-Verse

Probing into some of the so called "new age" personal growth programs, one discovers again and again invitations to visualize oneself in one's Ideal Room or Ideal Environment. Here one can discover one's Ideal Self. Those who choose to use a framework of linear time, often refer to this as one's future self or the future self one would like to be. For those who choose to subscribe to the idea of parallel universes existing in simultaneous time, there is the invitation to consider, believe or accept the truth that this self actually exists. It is a self who you can communicate with. It is a self you can become or tune to.

Any real success in these areas almost always comes when one accepts the invitation to allow one's imagination to be real. In times past (especially in one's youth) the imagination has been condemned as unreal. Often one was invited, or forcefully told, to face up to reality for one's own good. Thus, the practice of allowing your imagination to be real became socially unacceptable. Since all of us enjoy the rewards of a loving social relationship, it is a good idea that there is emerging a metaphysical society that allows us to socialize even if we believe in wild things like parallel worlds.

Of course, we don't want to get too far out, or do we?

A LEGEND OF VALUE

In seeking to develop one's creative powers, it is of considerable value to have a great legend or truth that underlies and fully supports the objectives. After all, a good story can contribute greatly to one's imaginative powers.

Thus, I offer for your consideration the following legend, or history, as the case may be.

According to this legend there once existed, and their still does exist, a group of wondrous beings called the Morians.

As the story goes, they were (and they are) beings who came to possess a true and eternal wisdom. They achieved a full understating of the anatomy of the multi-verse that sprang from the consciousness of those who allowed themselves to become ALL THAT IS.

To some these beings were like gods; to others they were the most wonderful grandfathers and grandmothers one could ever hope to have. Not only did they possess unending and unbounded love for each of us, they possessed the power to guide us to the fulfillment of our fondest dreams. They were a living embodiment of a spirit of play that waved its magic wand to grace all of life with wonder and beauty.

The Morians had a favorite word. The word was called MAMBA. Literally translated it meant the love of fond memories or illusions, yet in truth, it is difficult to convey in Earth languages the full meaning that the word was meant to symbolize. For you see, the Morians had a very strange belief. They believed that each and every idea instantly created an entire universe that was a reflection of that idea. Think a new thought and a new universe was created-or so thought the Morians.

If, for instance, you were sitting back and you began to remember that you had once been a great architect long, long ago on a planet far, far away, then instantly, according to the Morians, histories would spring into existence to confirm the fact that what you were remembering had really happened. Libraries would fill with books detailing the nature and history of the many great structures you designed and built. Archeological digs would be uncovering the ruins of some of your greatest creations.

But, if, in the next instant, you decided that this was not a memory, it was simply an excursion of your wild and crazy imagination, then instantly, according to the Morians, the universe would fill with people who would know with certainty that what you were doing was simply an excursion of your wild imagination, and not something that has really happened.

So travel with us now, as we explore our ability to find and tune to the universes of our dreams; an exercise that is either real, imaginary or both.

THE MULTI-VERSE

In Robert Heinlein's science fiction book titled, "The Number of the Beast", he told the story of a "Continua Craft" (a time machine) that transported his fascinating characters into one universe after another. In one case they traveled into a universe that seemed totally identical to this one. It was only after a time that they discovered that there were no "J's" in the universe. There were no words that began with J because there were no J's in the language. Thus there was no New Jersey, there was only, New Ersey. And there were no jerks, there were only irks. Everything else was the same.

It illustrates the concept of an infinite number of combinations.

Theoretically, you could learn to tune to a parallel universe as easily as you change channels on your TV.

You could tune to a universe where there are no jerks, but everything else remained the same. You could tune to a universe where carpets fly when you tell them to.

Would they be imaginary or real?

Well, if you could experience them with the same degree of clarity, density and satisfaction as you do the physical universe, one could legitimately ask, what's the difference? As far as the individual is concerned, it is quite accurate to say that the only real proof of anything is to experience it to be true.

Over the last 25 years I have had considerable success processing individuals into a remarkable ability to contact and experience other universes. In one particular case, a woman developed the ability to perceive her own universe and others with a degree of clarity that was greater than anything she had previously experienced. Systematically I began to test every perception I could think of. Were the smells as real? When she was dancing could she feel the other person with the same degree of reality as she could in the physical universe? When she ate something did it have the same resistance to being crushed as it did when she put it into her physical mouth? Were the sounds and textures as real? On and on I questioned her until she finally stopped me and asked if I was trying to determine just how real and vivid the experience was. "Yes", I replied. "Maybe this will help", she remarked. "The experience was so real and so vivid in every detail that the only difficulty I had was reducing my awareness to find the physical universe."

I still do processing of this kind on a limited basis for people who want it, and I also train and coach others on a one-to-one basis and in classes. However, I now additionally hope to codify the material so that a far greater number of people will be able to explore universes to their hearts content. This developing series and the one on "Time Mastery" are the beginning of Home Study Issues and supportive audio tapes that will hopefully assist all of us to create and tune to the universe we would most like to play in.
