2.9.1. EVOLUCIÓN DE LAS INTERFACES DE USUARIO
The programming of the Mer-Ka-Ba and all psychic energy is very inter- esting. It happens to us every day, but few people see it for what it is. I would like to tell you a couple of stories before I begin this section. I feel they will help explain the nature of this subject. However, I will begin with a definition.
Ways to Manifest Wine
Let's say you wanted a particular kind of French wine or some specific thing like that. It's your favorite wine, and you think, "I really wish I had this particular bottle of wine here." You see it in your head, your mouth is watering and your desire is strong. You want it but you don't know where to get some.
Well, you could create the wine on a 3D level. You could grow the grapes, wait several years for them to fruit, pick them and press them, then wait ten years or so to age the wine before you have your favorite bottle of wine. It might be a little trouble and a little slow, but if that's what you ac- cept as your reality, then you can do that.
Or you could run down to the store and buy a bottle of the wine you de- sire.
Or you could just sit there thinking about the wine, and somebody walks into the room with a bottle of it and says, "I've got an extra one of these. Do you want one?" and sets it on your table.
If that happened just once, you'd say, "Boy, that was a fantastic coinci- dence!" But if every time you think of something the coincidence happens, after a while you're bound to start thinking, "Hey, this is weird. Whenever I think of something, I want something or I need something, it just happens."
Eventually the coincidences will lead you to the realization that there is definitely a connection between what you're thinking and feeling and these "coincidences." Many of you on the path know exactly what I am talking about, for it is the beginning of the spiritual path.
This then leads you to the next step of the siddhis, when you begin to explore exactly how you make these things happen and how you can make them happen on purpose instead of seemingly accidentally. And that leads to performing acts like Jesus did when he converted water into wine. In this instance you're taking one element and changing it into another. Thus you prove to yourself and to others that what you believe about this Reality is real. You've established it and made it real. This is the area that is danger- ous, however, because usually the ego has not yet been transcended.
Then you may go another step beyond that, which would be to actually make the wine from nothing—not just converting the elements, but creat- ing it directly from the Void. At this stage your higher self and you have merged.
A step beyond that is not even having the desire for the wine in the first place—to not have a need or want at all, knowing that all things are whole, complete and perfect as they are. You are now outside of polarity. The pathway home becomes clear.
The Gas Can
When I was living out in the woods in Canada, 1 began to first realize this idea of coincidence. The angels had already appeared to my wife and me and we were being guided by their words. They had told us not to worry about money while we were in this beginning stage with them. They said that they would give us everything we needed. They said that there was a "natural law" that God had made with man. Mankind could either rely on God to give them substance, or mankind could rely on themselves. If they relied on God, everything needed would always be "within reach," but if they relied on themselves, He would not help them as they requested.
My wife was getting very upset with me because we needed a gas can for our car. She had run out of gas several times, and we were over 20 miles from the nearest gas station. She had just run out again the day before and had to walk several miles, so she was very upset at me for not buying her this gas can. She was going on and on and on about it, making a big deal out of this little gas can. I kept saying, "You've got to trust in God." She said. "God? I need a gas can!" And I said, "You know the angels said we aren't to work at this time, and they'll supply everything for us. Yes, we are really low on money, but please have faith." Actually, they did supply us with every- thing; we already had absolutely everything we would ever need—except a gas can.
We took a walk down to the lake where we were living, and all the was down to the lake she was going on and on and on, "We have to go back to
the city. We have to quit this living by faith. This is too hard. We need money." We sat down on a rock and looked out onto this beautiful lake surrounded by majestic mountains that God had given us, and she contin- ued to complain to me, to the angels and to God.
I kind of glanced over to the side as she was talking, and there, about 20 feet away, was a gas can just sitting there between two rocks. Somebody
had evidently pulled a boat up there and left it. But it wasn't just any old gas can. It must have been the most incredible gas can on the planet! 1 didn't even know they made such things. It was a beautiful red can made of thick, solid brass trimmed with a heavy, solid brass handle. This gas can must have cost $100 or more!
So I said, "Just a minute," and went over and picked it up, came back and set it down next to her, saying, "How about this one.7" It kept her quiet
for about two weeks.
The Stack of Money
This little house out in the woods we were living in was located in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. It had been given to us by the Catholic church to stay in as long as we wanted to for free. We had n o t h i n g . . . but we had everything—even a gas can. But at one point, as we mentioned, we were starting to run out of money. Because the angels asked us not to work during the time we were out in the woods and only continue with our medi- tation, our supply of money kept dwindling.
And as the money got lower and lower, I could see my wife getting more and more nervous. Finally we were down to $16 and no way in sight for us to get more. As the money supply shrank, you could see her patience shrink with it. Her fear grew. T h a t was it, she was ready to leave me. We had to make a payment of about $125 on our car the next day or we would lose it. We didn't have it, and that was that. She complained all day and all that evening. Finally we went to bed. She rolled over as far on her side of the bed as possible and drifted off to sleep.
About midnight there was a knock on the door. Now, we were out in the middle of a deep forest. There was a four-mile walk just to get to the house from the closest road, and our nearest neighbor was two miles away. So we were surprised by this rare nighttime visitor.
I rolled out of bed, threw on a robe and opened the door. Standing there was an old friend I hadn't seen for about two years with a big smile on his race. He came in and said, "Oh man, I've been looking for you everywhere. You are really isolated. Are you trying to hide from someone or some- thing?" I said, "Well, no. I just like nature. Come on in. W h a t are you do-
ne here in the middle of the night?"
Well, I'd loaned him a bunch of money a long time ago. I basically just gave it to him and had actually forgotten about it. He said, "I felt really compelled to come here and pay you this money! I couldn't think of any- thing else." And he put a huge stack of twenty-dollar bills on the table,
amounting to $3500. To my wife and me, living as simply as we were, this might as well have been a million dollars!
The Second Stack
My wife was dumbfounded. That shut her up for about six months or so. Not a word.
As this money began to dwindle, her faith became weaker. This time we were down to about $12 to our name and her faith began to be shaken again. She went on and on and on; she was going to leave me and the fam- ily and return to the States. Hours went by, the Sun went down and she continued to complain. Then we went to bed after a long stressful day argu- ing about money and about having faith in God. Then again in the middle of the night came another knock on the door.
This time it was another friend, one who went way back, all the wav back to Berkeley to my beginning days in college. I couldn't believe it! I don't know how he found me. He came in, and the same thing happened, only it wasn't quite as much this time. It was only $1800. But he said. "Here's this money you gave me once when I was in need. I hope it helps you."
My wife went through the same exact changes. First she was very happy and didn't complain for a few months, but as that money began to run out. she lost all faith. She just could not believe that the angels—who were ap- I pearing to her as well as me—could really supply us with "everything we needed" as they said they would, even though they had demonstrated it for I almost two years.
When this money ran out, she forced the issue and returned to Berkeley to get a job. It was the beginning of the end of her spiritual life. Soon she could no longer see the angels anymore. Then she had to rely on herself to I live. She got a job, and for her, life returned to its normal state before the angels appeared to us. Life became solid and the magic faded from her life.
T h e angels have never left my side. To this day I leave my substance up to them and give my life energy to God. 1 have faith and trust in the unseen. As my faith became stronger with each stack of money, my wife's became weaker. It is like the story of the glass that is either half full or half empty depending on how you see it. Remember this story, for we will all be tested when it comes to the siddhis and the natural laws of God.
During this time my wife and I experienced firsthand many, many mira- cles. We saw these miracles almost every week, sometimes every day, for about two years. Most of them were way beyond just someone giving us money. They were truly impossible happenings that anyone would call a miracle. Yet it was a great lesson for me to watch how a miracle could cause one person to become deeper in love with God and another to move deeper
into fear.
There is a great spiritual danger with the siddhis in more ways than one- It is not just that the ego may become enhanced and attempt to use the
siddhis for personal power and gain, but also that the ego may enter fear and stop meditating. Either way, it stops further spiritual growth until the time is right. No one is truly lost, only delayed.
