The Key

Many of us here today are what are known as “old souls”. This means we have bumbled and stumbled through lifetime after lifetime for many eons. We have learned many lessons during this time, and very few of them came easily. The reason they have been so difficult to learn is because we have learned through the trial and error method known as karma.

After spending literally thousands of lifetimes learning the lessons we need in order to graduate from karma and reincarnation, most of us are ready to get on the fast track to spiritual awakening. This fast track can be summed up in one word; HU.

Those who have studied the occult, or meditation, are aware of certain words, or mantras that will help raise the soul’s vibration rate, and open up the consciousness to higher levels of awareness. Each of these words corresponds to a certain level of spiritual being, or awareness. The word OM is very popular with both the occultists, and various methods of meditation. This spiritually charged word is good if one is interested in the mental realm (i.e. Nirvana, The Christ Consciousness, The kundalini experience). The only draw back to this is that the mental realm is still in the worlds of duality. As immortal spiritual beings (Soul), we should not be satisfied with attaining the mental realm; we need to direct our efforts to attaining our true home the Soul Plane. The quickest and easiest way to attune ourselves to our true home is to become intimate with the word HU.

HU (pronounced Hugh) is the first and the primordial sound. All sounds find their origin in the HU. The word “human” literally means “Godman” which we all truly are.

Unlike the other mantras which are only used for meditative purposes, the HU can be used at any time, and any place. Sing the HU before going to bed, when you meditate, when you feel anxious, and when you are happy. Sing the HU to feel closer to God, to show gratitude, and when you are sad. The HU can be sung at any time, for any reason, as long as it is sung with love for God. Do not sing the HU in hopes to win the lottery, or for personal gain. The HU is sung in order to gain something much more important than monetary or personal gain; it is sung to gain the realization that YOU are Soul. Soul realization is what each and every one of us has been striving to attain ever since we began our long road here on the Physical Plane.

Settle for nothing less.

May the Blessings be.

Kreskin's ESP Kit, Part 1

This is the first part of a trilogy of true stories. Take them as you will.

Back in the mid-sixties, a guy named Kreskin was very popular. He would go on all the popular talk shows and do feats of ESP. My dad said he was a quack, but I was much more open-minded about it than he. I was, in fact, intrigued with Mr. Kreskin. My feelings were, if ESP is real, why not develop it? I had nothing to base these feelings on, other than a child's naivete.

Then, Christmas of 1965, my dad bought a "family" Christmas present. It was a Kreskin's ESP Kit. In this kit there were probably seven, or eight different ways to test your ESP. The pendulum was the most popular; everyone could make it swing by concentrating on it. That was cool, but then my dad pulled out a deck of cards from the box.

Since all the other kids were off playing with their other presents, and I was the only one near him (fooling around with the pendulum), he called me over. He read the instructions and said, "I'm supposed to look at a card, and send it to you mentally. You try to receive it." I said, "OK, let's try."

He took a card, looked at it, then said, "Here goes nothing." I could see he was really trying to send me the image, so I decided I was really going to try and get it. I closed my eyes real tight.

You know how when you close your eyes really tight, you see little squiggly things? Well, I saw thousands of squiggly things. All of a sudden, all the squiggly things formed a whirlpool, spinning around, until they formed a perfect heart! My jaw dropped to the floor. "It's a heart!", I blurted out. My dad (a little taken aback) said, "You're right; how did you know?" I said, "Dad, I saw it!"

I think my dad laughed it off, but that moment changed my life. From that moment on, I "knew" ESP was real. At the tender age of ten, I then bought any book on ESP and occult I could get my hands on. I had a small library of occult books by the time I turned 17.

At that time I was very interested in astral projection. However, in 1972, there were very few "how-to" books on astral projection. One day at Walden books, while looking through the occult section (now called New Age) I found a book entitled, "Eckankar, Key to Secret Worlds" by Paul Twitchell. In this book Mr. Twitchell talked of "soul travel". I, of course, equated soul travel with astral projection and bought the book immediately.

This, once again, changed my life forever.
