HANDS OF LIGHT
After author Barbara Ann Brennan received her degree in Atmospheric Physics, she worked as a research scientist for NASA. For the past fifteen years she has been working with the Human Energy Field. Brennan is a practicing healer and is currently teaching and conducting workshops on the HEF, Healing and Channelling.
Brennan explains how to see and "read" the energy of the human aura. This includes the chakras, energy blocks and the defense systems in the aura. She explores the range beyond the five senses into what she calls High Sense Perception which she believes is the next evolutionary step for the human race.
She says that the HEF is the key to learning how we help create our reality and how we can change it. On page 11, she writes "It becomes the bridge to our soul, to our inner private life, to that spark of the divine within each of us."
What I found particularly interesting was the chapter on her spirit guide's Metaphor of Reality. In a much more scientific way, it explores the premise of the book I reviewed here in Oct. of '03, Excuse Me Your LIFE is Waiting by Linda Grabhorn.
Brennan discusses the many different levels of vibration present in the same space. In addition, she explains the levels of perception. She says that each of us is able to perceive only within a certain frequency range. What is outside that range is not real to us; if we can't perceive it, it's not real.
Her spirit guide says that each of us has a "Cone of Perception" which Brennan illustrates with a drawing of a bell curve. Inside the bell is our perception of reality (who we think we are). Outside the bell, is Who We Really Are. The top of the bell represents spiritual reality, or clarity of perception. The more we function on the higher frequencies, the more we expand and broaden the base of the bell; and hence, our perception. As we move further into Who We Really Are, we have a self-definition without limits, which is ultimately God. The outside line of the bell curve becomes the veil between who we think we are and Who We Really Are. The same line is also the veil between the spiritual and the material worlds---and also between life and death.
As we increase our perceptual range to higher frequencies, more of the spiritual world becomes real to us. Healing is ultimately dissolving the veil between the spiritual and material worlds.
June says: "I am intrigued by this concept--it is so logical--and that works for me."
