Asana helps to calm the mind and temper emotions. Challenging the physical body helps the practitioner connect with the other levels of self. Because of the rapid ability of the physical body to reflect change, it demonstrates the capacity to change on deeper unseen levels. The physical body is our home in this reality. Memories can be stored in our tissues. Asana is away of strengthening the will and exploring our psychological makeup, creating a balance between our material and spiritual existence.

INCARNATION

Posted on January 6, 2026 by DonBothell

The newborn enters the world separate from the mother. It exhales, and then inhales a first breath. Breathing begins with an exhalation and the last breath at death is an inhalation. With that first breath cycle, the new being draws life force into the body as an individual for the first time. This is the moment of the beginning of life. The spirit enters the body. Before the now sentient being was a complex growth within the mother’s body. At the moment of life, with that first breath cycle, the circulation of blood in the infant’s body reverses direction. The heart pumps in the opposite direction and the blood that was being pushed through the veins out through the circulatory system is pushed through the arteries and returns to the heart through the veins. A soul has entered the little body, having picked the perfect set of parents, in the perfect set of circumstances, to give it an opportunity to experience what’s necessary for this cycle of spiritual growth.

MEDITATION II

The natural result of the meditation suggested with this teaching is that the total being comes into a healthy balance and obstructions to the flow of life force energy are cleared. As a result, the body is able to correct irregularities such as excess weight, as it is no longer obstructed from its optimum expression.

When this happens, the natural result is spiritual growth. There are no distinct borders where the body ends and the mind starts, the mind ends and the spirit begins. For the approach to work, it must be holistic, working at all levels at the same time.

PARALLEL UNIVERSE STUDY

Posted on January 3, 2026 by DonBothell

The Universe (capitalized to signify the greater Multiverse, small case for our universe) can be imagined being created as the result of a just prior to creation of our universe event, an implosion. The resulting reaction, the Big Bang, has things moving outward. Based on observation, Alan Guth, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology proposes a parallel universe theory called the Inflationary Theory of Cosmology. Professor Guth envisions that when the universe began, rather than things being pulled together by gravity, things were pulled apart by a kind of anti-gravity. As this force weakened, this reverse gravity that created a “false vacuum” (causing constant expansion) collapsed just before the Big Bang. Decay formed the particles which began our universe—the Universe is much bigger and our little universe is a bubble created by this collapse. Innumerable bubbles form the Universe, each a little universe.

Could these universes all have the same law of physics and the same properties because of their common origin, or are their numbers so vast, every possible combination of principles? Or both? This allows for parallel universes with the possibility a person can exist at the same time in one or more places. Options are virtually limitless in a Multiverse.

Quantum Jumping:

The ability to move from one universe to another is done through thought transference. To change location (where you are in the Universe) you merely need to change your thought pattern or frequencies.
