"Entering into Divine Mind, herself made over to That, the soul
at first contemplates that realm; but once she sees that which is higher still,
she leaves all else aside. Thus when I enter a house rich in beauty I might gaze
about and admire the varied splendor before the master appears; but once seeing
him I would ignore all else and look to him alone."
- Plotinus

10. Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer (known as Oneness Deeksha in the East) and the Hormones of Joy
As a naturopath whose speciality for the last
37 years has been vibrational healing, I have known about the "molecules of
emotion" for a long time. This research into the emotions as a bridge
between spirit and matter was begun in the early 1970s by brain researcher
Candace Pert beginning with her work on the opiate receptors in the brain.
What follows is the writing of Christian Opitz in this fascinating field.
Also see the research of Heart Math for cutting edge information on the
electromagnetic and hormonal powerhouse we call our heart.
Until now, Christian Opitz mostly emphasized the effect of Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer
on various
brain centres in his writings. An equally important aspect of the process of
awakening the brain is the change in hormone and neurotransmitter production.
Here below Christian gives an overview of some of the significant changes in regards to
hormones and neurotransmitters that he has found in people who have been
receiving Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer for a while. First, Christian writes
about some of the
important neurochemicals and their effect on our experience of life:
Dopamine
"Produced in the substantia nigra in the mid – brain, this important
neurotransmitter is almost always out of balance in modern people. We need
sufficient dopamine to feel alive, vibrant, to be able to concentrate and have
good discernment. Lack of dopamine leads to boredom, depression, brain fog, one
merely exists but is not truly alive. This is turn leads to cravings for
dopamine stimulation, mostly through destructive means. Intense but short –
lived dopamine stimulants are for example cocaine, amphetamines, junk food,
aggressive behaviours and conflicts with other people. Those suffering from ADD
are restless and often have hyper aggressive tendencies because they are
desperately trying to stimulate some dopamine production.
Too much dopamine at once leads to a dulling of the dopamine receptors and that
in turn has undesirable consequences. Delusions, including hallucinations, that
are mistaken for genuine mystical experiences, often go together with prolonged
overproduction of dopamine. People addicted to computer games have similar
dopamine imbalances, which shows an interesting correlation between the
addictions to virtual realities, whether on a computer screen or on the screen
of one’s own mind. In some people, excessive dopamine can lead to stuttering.
People who stutter usually have twice as much dopamine in their system that
average people.
It is easy to see that for a balanced spiritual awakening, we want a consistent
level of dopamine, without the detrimental effects of extreme highs and lows. A
consistent dopamine production goes hand in hand with awakened frontal lobes,
which Bhagavan associates with God – Realization. Given the fact that dopamine
is essential to feel truly alive, it makes sense that we need it also to feel
connected to the Source of all life.
Oxytocin
Oxytocin is the hormone of love, open – heartedness and gratitude. Happily
married people produce more oxytocin, and relationship stress severely decreases it.
Oxytocin is the neurochemical foundation for compassion, for truly caring for
others. When we care for others, we ourselves are rewarded many times over,
because oxytocin regenerates the body and induces a very deep sense of well –
being. Love is great health insurance because of oxytocin. Indifference and
cruelty are accompanied by very low levels of this hormone. I assume that these
biochemical facts are one of the reasons behind Bhagavan’s emphasis on setting
right relationships.
The production of oxytocin is severely hindered in most people today and this often starts at birth. In the late 1940s, modern medicine began to use drugs at birth, treating the birthing process as if it was some kind of disease. Among those drug, petocin (synthetic oxytocin) is used to induce contractions and thus birth, on the hospital’s schedule instead of following the natural interaction between the baby and mother. Whenever we receive a huge dose of a synthetic version of a hormone, our receptors are overwhelmed and the body’s own production can be compromised. If this happens at birth, there can be permanent damage and a life – long pattern of producing too little oxytocin. It does not help much that the most important bonding phase between mother and child right after birth has become a medical procedure of taking blood, measuring the baby, cutting the umbilical cord too early and not allowing the baby a direct bonding with the mother and thus a gentle entrance into this world. The combination of petocin and the lack of empathy for the newborn baby in medicalized birth procedures is almost certain to severely compromise oxytocin production.
It is interesting to note that heavy drug use at birth, from petocin to pain
killers to even some psychedelic substances that are no longer used, was
introduced after WWII. When the first generation of babies who came into this
world on drugs had arrived at young adulthood in the 1960s, they where the first
generation to seek a deeper meaning of life through drugs. I believe the lack of
natural oxytocin caused by drug use at the entrance into life can set up a
strong recapitulation pattern of seeking life through drugs.
Cortisol
The opposite of oxytocin, in terms of effects on our life experience, is cortisol,
the stress and death hormone. We need cortisol in life – threatening
situations, but, as Dr. Hans Selye discovered, we tend to overproduce it much of
the time when there is no threat to survival in sight.
On cortisol, all of life takes on the quality of struggle, including relationships and even the spiritual search. Cortisol activates the parietal lobes, which are supposed to give us a sense of our physical boundaries. When overactive, this sense of physical separateness is extended to our general experience of ourselves and we then feel existentially separate.
This is at least part of the reason why Bhagavan emphasises the deactivation of the parietal lobes. Cortisol makes us walk around with chronically over activated parietal lobes. In that state, we are not able to feel our feelings fully, to embrace ourselves as we are.
Being in the here and now, being in the flow, requires abundant oxytocin,
sufficient dopamine and low levels of cortisol.
The effects of Oneness Blessing
Although it is very difficult to measure hormones and neurotransmitters in the
brain directly, electromagnetic signature testing allows for some conclusions
about the effects of Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer
in this regard. One of the main effects I have
found with people who have been receiving Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer for a year or longer is a
regeneration of receptors for both dopamine and oxytocin. This automatically
leads to greater efficiency of these neurochemicals and a decrease in cortisol
production.
Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer can also regenerate the substantia nigra, where dopamine is produced and this directly shows up in changed electromagnetic brain patterns. Many times I have observed a natural release of addictive patterns through Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer that where clearly related to low dopamine levels.
Another interesting parameter is the electromagnetic communication between the brain and the heart. This seems to progressively get stronger in people through Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer and is one of the most important energetic correlations of the flowering of the heart and true compassion.
In some of the Dasas (guides) and in Ron Roth, this heart-brain connection was off the charts when I measured them. Oxytocin is the biochemical bridge between the brain and heart. From the data I have gathered so far, Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer seems to be effective in strongly enhancing oxytocin in the vast majority of people. I also believe that this is one of the aspects of birth trauma that can be healed through Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer and that this effect makes Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer so worthwhile for children.
Even though children are not supposed to enter into an enlightenment process,
growing up with lots of oxytocin will give them a much more beautiful life
experience.
Finally, the neurochemical effects of Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer
are one reason why other methods
people utilize for inner transformation can become so much more effective when
people receive Oneness Blessing Energy Transfer. If someone does not need
medication anymore to lower
cortisol, meditation can go to much deeper levels right away. If emotional or
physical healing work is done on a person who already has high levels of
oxytocin, the receptivity to receive healing is enhanced. The synergy of Oneness Blessing
Energy Transfer
with specific methods of inner transformation is a fascinating subject for more
exploration and the role of neurochemicals is essential for the effects such
synergies produce."
