Multisensory Human

Kathy Callahan (2005). Multisensory Human: 

                                       The Evolution of the Soul 


Callahan (PhD in Anthropology from Purdue) was a naval officer for 20 years, and wrote several books. This book is not a practical book (it appears that one of her other books, "Living in the Spirit, Applying Spiritual Truths in Daily Life" may be more pragmatic).

Callahan uses religion, science, and metaphysics as frameworks for exploring the themes of devolution and evolution in reference to humanity, culture, and spirituality. 

The key idea of a multisensory human is one with 2 senses beyond the conventional 5...the 6th being imagination, and the 7th being intuition. 

There are 2 types of evolutionary processes: micro and macro. 

On the micro level, we are spiritual beings created by G to be co-creators, our soul is eternal, our bodies have devolved from spirit, the mind mediates body and soul, and meditation can assist in evolving back to source via the ideas of becoming a multisensory human. 

On the macro level, we are experiencing changes in culture, and these chances are anticipated in prophecies from astrology, the Buddhist wheel, bible, Great pyramid of Giza, Myan and Hopi cultures, and the Edgar Cacye readings. Note that the prophecies are contextualized by a "Niniva factor," that prophecy is created under certain conditions, and as these conditions and our choices as humanity change, the prophecies may also change.

For a practice, consider all the ways you are evolving in mind, body, and spirit...if evolving is too strong a term, think of growing...what specific intentional practices do you regularly engage in for evolving/growing in mind, body, and spirit? if you don't have any practices, how can you explore and adopt some practices that don't require more than 5 minutes a day (in the beginning) to "test out" to see if they have any efficacy (books, videos, google, AI, wise people).

SPIRITUAL SOLUTIONS Wayne Dyer (2003). There's a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem. Dyer earned a Doctorate of Education in Guidance and Counseling, and is a prolific author. His first book that i read in the 1970's, Your Erroneous Zones, profoundly influenced my thinking as a teen.  The theme of this book is that there is a spiritual solution to every problem, that problems are illusions created in the mind by incorrect thinking, and that the solution to these mental problems is to change our thinking in light of the spirit (defined as an energy/intelligence that is the source of all life, i.e., God). Some might call this "spiritual bypassing," ignoring the body in favor of the mind and spirit. The first half of the book is lessons from Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Dyer suggests that low frequency is associated with the "negative" and faster frequency with the "positive" [for me, at least musically, lower frequencies don't imply negative emo...

TURN ON Timothy Leary (1965, 1999). Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out Leary was a University Professor at Harvard who is best know for his experiments with LSD. The book is part lectures, part interviews, and part essays. Given all the media hype about Leary, i was surprised at how much common sense i encountered, and how much he speaks to learning, hope, and love.  He begins with a chapter on how to start your own religion (to invoke the rights of the first amendment in US law) with family and friends, a tribe of people living together in community with their own laws...a place where sacrament is consumed (it need not be LSD, but anything that is spiritually meaningful to the community, something that binds the community together in ceremony)...a place preferably in nature where one feels protected and nurtured.  The BIG ADVICE is to drop out of society's robot world/mind, and turn on to God/Goddess (the Spirit), nature, and the body and mind, and tune in (dropping back into socie...

BODY WISDOM  Therese Bertherat (1989).  The body has its reasons: Self-awareness                                                           through conscious movement.  Berherat takes us on a personal journey in learning body wisdom /awareness using Ehrenfred's method which is radically different than the medical model/method she learned at University. The story unfolds as "sessions" of practices, and the end of the book reveals several "preliminaries" on how to cultivate body wisdom. Among the many practical lessons are:      pause after exhaling to let the body use oxygen before inhaling again--this allows the              body to rest/relax with every breath.      because all parts of the body are integrated, working with one par...
