How to get the Mind of a Zen Buddhist Monk
by: Mary Desaulniers
It has been 8 weeks since I started Bill Harris’ Holosync Awakening Prologue. And I must say that I have been pleasantly surprised by the results. I was not looking for gut-wrenching changes in my personality. After all I am, on the whole, quite even in temperament. Like most folks, I am happy, confident and secure most of the time.
What attracted me to Bill Harris’ program initially was the fact that his promises did not carry the usual sales pitch. He did not promise that all your dreams would materialize with the use of his product. Nor did he say that you would become infinitely wealthy or successful or that all your desires would be made manifest. What he did promise was that
a) you would become more happy, more tranquil;
b) you would improve your brain power—increase in learning ability, memory, intuition, creativity and concentration;
c) you would experience remarkable improvement in spiritual and emotional health;
d) you would ( if you follow through with the 12 levels of the program until the end) develop the brain state of a Zen Buddhist monk.
It was this last promise—that I can have the mind and brain state of a Zen Buddhist monk-- that really intrigued me. So I ordered the initial program—the Awakening Prologue online.
So far, 8 weeks into the program ( meditating 1 hour a day with Holosync), I have noticed
a)a remarkable ability on my part to focus on my work( writing),
b)increased creativity and productivity,
c)a deep, deep sense of happiness that wells up several times during the course of the day.
But what has been for me the most profound change is the ease with which I seem to enter a meta-consciousness, an “other” me looking at myself and all that happens to me in a detached, witnessing manner. It’s as though I am able to enter an altered state that prevents me from judging or reacting with blind emotions. I am watching my response( whether it be joy, anger, annoyance) as though it were someone else’s , another reality, not mine. And the benefit of this detachment is the ability not to be aroused unnecessarily by circumstance.
Well, you are probably wondering, what is Holosync and how does it work?
In its simplest form, Holosync is meditation through neurotechnology. It is based on the work of Dr. Gerald Oster whose research into the effects of sound waves on brain wave patterns led to his use of sound to create desired electrical patterns in the brain, including those of a Zen Buddhist monk who has been meditating for over 20 years. Studies have shown that these monks have unusually balanced and synchronized whole brains, developed through years of focusing by repeating a prayer or mantra. The repetitive practice of meditation has created new neural pathways in their brains allowing them to experience the ineffable sense of oneness and connectedness so typical of spiritual experiences.
