Hi Len, here we go again.  I want to say I have had my best discussions
with you on the net.  I have been through some experiences recently
that have added a whole new dimension to the answers I get to questions.
So I really appreciate being asked questions. Helps me to access my recent
expansions. WOW.

Len asks

>In the interests of honesty, would you please disclose whether these
>technologies are your livelihood?  

I guess the most honest answer is I am still vacillating.  I am a test engineer
at Apple by profession.  But when you say livelihood I feel they are.  I am
most alive when I am in the tub holding someone and giving them all the love and
encouragement I can to take their next breath.  I broke my fast on past life
regressions last week. I guess I get pretty alive sharing death and the point
after with someone.  It has always been difficult for me to charge for
rebirthing or past life sessions.  So I have gone out of business doing past
lives and rebirthing several times winding up here in Silicon Valley job
shopping.  I have finally realized I have to charge enough to support me in
doing the work.  Actually I have been bored and pissed off with the past life
work. Psychics have given reincarnation such a bad name that I have not wanted
to be associated with the field.  As far as the boredom, I can get into my
subjects excitement and discoveries.  Plus, I have learned to get pertinent past
lives that will be more real for the subject.

Like the heavy set lady I did last week. She wanted to know why the sun
bothered her eyes so much. It turns out in a past life she was a starving white
man who got caught stealing food from Indians. They tied her to two stakes
facing west. Left her (him) there a couple of weeks before they killed her with
spears in the chest. After the body died she decided to never be hungry again
and to get even. She had gotten even with a couple in this life. I talked her
into forgiving the rest.

So, anyway Len, taking people through birth or death is an act of love that no
money can approximate.  I could literally do those two things for 12 hours a
day seven days a week for the next hundred years.  So I have put out my
rebirthing shingle. I charge $50. for the first six, $ 40. for the second six
and $30. thereafter. And I only work with people who are seriously interested
in doing all 18 sessions. I am also hanging out my past life shingle.  Same old
price $25. for a half hour session the recalling of two past lives is
guaranteed. I may eat off of the money I make this week, is that close enough
to Livelihood?.  So does that answer your question, Len?


>>...Recent postings by Hatton and the Ovatron 
>>are good examples of stuff that will cause brain rot.

>How do you determine what is altered by the channel and what is not?

I have pretty much answered that in another post I am doing of some e-mail
questions I got. I do it by feeling and by my definition of channeling. If it
insinuates punishment, disempowerment or limitations I know it is not
channeled.  Channeled material is inspiring, uplifting and empowering.  I have
become conscious and sensitive enough to notice a power leak in a microsecond
and cease that course of action, activity or thought.  Although the net folks
have severally pissed and moaned about the fact we create our own reality. It
is the most beautiful gift given to humanity by Creation. We create our own
reality with absolute free will and absolute choice. Once one takes
responsibility for that the only next conclusion is that it is pretty dumb
creating a reality with punishment, suffering and lack.


>>I have recently put my research into an 18 session program.  It involves
>>guided hyperventilation in a hot tub for an hour.

>This sounds something like the Grof's do.  Care to elaborate?

Well thanks Len, for the opening, and no folks I did not pay Len to ask that!
You are asking me to elaborate on my absolute favorite subject and activity in
the universe. Well, er, ah, I guess I can elaborate.  :-)

I got into rebirthing in 1976. And stumbled onto Grofs book Realms of the
Unconscious. At that time rebirthing was sold as something one needed only one
of or maybe a few.  Grof essentially pointed out that a persons first few acid
trips would be spent dealing with and resolving the birth trauma which he
beautifully describes and maps out.  Well I rebirthed a few with LSD and
discover that what was brought up with acid would take some extra time to
resolve without acid. So after rebirthing a couple hundred people, I theorized
a program of 18 sessions. I broke the 18 down into 3 parts of six each. The
first six deal with the first chakra or the body and physical survival.  During
these first six the body is oxygenated and built up to handle the next six.
There is much physical stuff that happens the first six, as the breathing
causes much to percolate out of the cells. Many old aches and pains come out
and can be cleared by the breath.

The second six deal with emotions, sexuality, and creativity.. Since most
peoples breathing has been atrophied all of their lives. Emotions, instead of
being processed and integrated into ones being, have been stored in the cells
and around the body. In fact, so many and so powerful that the body had to be
energized by the first six sessions to handle them. I often see people
naturally remember a particularly stressful past life during these six. I see
people let go of years of pain and emotion in a few breathes.  It is impossible
to describe the incredible things that happen.

The last six sessions are for the third chakra or feeling center.  Now most
seem to have their feeling center shut down. That is a big mistake because what
we feel through our feeling center is not only the stuff coming up from the
lower chakras but also the stuff coming down from the higher centers. It has
taken me 15 years to find someone with enough guts to go as far as completing
the last six. In fact I almost gave up on my theory.  But it happened and
opening the third center, chakra, the solar plexus does open the door to
personal contact with higher intelligence.  And another exciting thing is the
chakras are harmonics of each other. Opening the first effects the 4th and 7th,
opening the second effects the 5th and 8th and opening the 3rd effects the 6th
and 9th.  And so on. WOW.  Does this give you any idea of why I consider
rebirthing to be better than sex and why I want to do it 12 hours a day seven
days a week for the next hundred years?

Thanks Len.  Keep those questions coming folks!!!!!
