We Will Control Your Mind and Force You to be Our Slaves!

By Bill Harris
Director, Centerpointe Research Institute

We have a number of people each week, generally Christian program participants (or potential participants), who've heard of the admittedly amazing positive mental and emotional changes people experience as a result of the Centerpointe Program, but are afraid it will somehow challenge their faith, or tempt them to believe in something that contradicts it.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Holosync® is a tool, just like a bicycle, or a wrench. It makes something you might want to do easier. It gets you from Point A to Point B, and does it faster and easier (and more surely) than other methods. And just as with a bicycle or a wrench, you don't have to believe anything for it to work. If you use it correctly, the results will follow.

The results, based on the experience of 20,000 people, are more happiness, greater inner peace, greater knowledge of self, a sharper mind, increased longevity and vitality, and relief from depression, anger, fear, anxiety, substance abuse, stress, and other unpleasant and dysfunctional feelings and behaviors.

When I started Centerpointe in 1989, the spotlight was on the fact that Holosync® can take you into the brain wave patterns of deep meditation, and the only people who were very interested in Holosync® were meditators and "New Age" people. So, we directed our support material to this group, with the addition of a fair amount of scientific background for those interested in how the technology works from that perspective. We could have just as easily framed the support material from the point of view of a dozen or more other thought systems.

The program is belief-system neutral. It balances the brain, to put it in a very few words, and that requires no belief on anyone's part, anymore than taking vitamins requires a certain belief system.

From an early age, I have been interested in spiritual and religious questions. Clearly, these kinds of questions, along with religious or spiritual experiences, have been part of human experience for as long as humans have been recording their thoughts in some way and handing them down to others who came later. For this reason I have always felt there must be something more than just airy-fairy nonsense to spiritual matters. As they say, "20 million Frenchmen can't be wrong."

We live in a hectic world where stress can build to a major health crisis; luckily meditation is one of the best tools against stress. If you like what you're reading about Centerpointe check out Holosync for the ultimate meditation experience. - Editors

On the other hand, I've also been intensely interested in scientific thought and throughout my university education (and after) I have sought out the most rigorous classes, books, and other material to keep abreast of what scientists are discovering about a whole variety of subjects, including the origin of life, how the universe evolves, how the brain works, why humans behave the way they do, and a hundred other subjects.

In many ways, my quest has been to reconcile the scientific and the spiritual, based on the idea that if spiritual experience is real, it can be explained scientifically. Anyone who reads my writings can see that this is one of the central questions I'm trying to investigate and answer.

From the feedback I get from many of you who read what I write, I am not the only one who is intensely interested in this question, and some of my ideas strike a chord with you who read and ponder them.

One of the things that has become apparent to me from both spiritual and scientific lines of study is that all things are connected. The universe is one giant system where everything affects everything else.

Yet our brain cannot take in and comprehend this much detail and interconnectedness. It's like a telephone system designed to handle calls for a city with a population of one million, but twenty million (or maybe twenty trillion) people have moved in, set up household, and their all trying to call at once. (This is why we selectively block 99.999% of the stimulus we are presented with and with the remainder we create our own internal map of reality.)

Many people have speculated that one of the reasons for human aggressiveness and conflict is that we do not perceive that there is no "other" and we are only fighting ourself -- we don't see the connections and are therefore able to preceive others as being other- than-us, at odds with us, against us, a threat to us.

It's like thinking your own hand was stealing from you when it picks up your wallet because you couldn't see how it was connected to your arm, and your arm connected to your body.

Here's what I'm getting at (you were wondering, weren't you?):

One of the most amazing affects of using the Centerpointe program is that in creating new connections between the left and right hemispheres of the brain -- in other words, through balancing the brain -- your ability to perceive and comprehend (not intellectually -- though that may happen also -- but more on a gut level) how all things are connected.

This shows up in increased creativity (seeing how certain ideas are connected) but, more important, it shows up in a feeling of closeness with others, a experiential sense of commonality, of shared beingness, for want of a better term. If you're looking for answers to spiritual questions -- such as "Who am I" and "What is my relationship to the rest of the Universe?" -- this kind of increased ability to see how everything works together allows answers to these questions to come -- not intellectually, but in a different kind of way, a kind of "knowingness" or intuition.

My feeling is that wanting to know "what's it all about" is the human reason behind religions, whether they are Christian, Buddhist, Taoist, Native American,  Hindu, Pagan, or whatever. Until you have the mental equipment, what I like to call "expanded awareness," to perceive more of what is out there and how it all fits together, you're just guessing about these questions, or taking someone else's explanation as true without any real verification.

Saints and sages throughout the ages (hey, that rhymes!) have claimed they saw or experienced a level of reality the rest of humanity was not able to perceive. Through whatever method and for whatever reason (many of them prayed or meditated intensely for many years), they perceived how things really were (i.e., connected) in a way others could not.

Did this not INCREASE their faith?

In fact, the only thing getting to this more aware place through using Holosync® could do would be to show you that the faith you might have had in something that WASN"T really true or real was, in fact, untrue or unreal -- and that would be a good thing, wouldn't it? Who would want to go around basing their whole existence on something they were mistaken about!?

Or, by showing you that what you had faith in WAS true, your faith could be strengthened.

It's been a long ten years since I started Centerpointe. In that time, not one person, has ever come to me and told me they had lost their faith, or that the bottom had dropped out for them spiritually. What has happened, though, is that many have written or called to tell me they had insights about who they were and what their place was in the grand scheme of things, and that as a result their faith was deepened, that they felt closer to God, closer to other people, and closer to the fabulous mystery that makes up the totality of all that is.

This kind of revelation brings (as they say) "a peace that passeth understanding."

Which is exactly what I wish for you.

Keep listening to those tapes and CDs, friends.

Be well.
