Techniques of the Intuitive Intelligence

81 (1) Paragraphs 1-20 The Inner Voice
By John Berges
81 (1) Paragraphs 1-20 The Inner Voice
This sixth discourse begins with a discussion of the inner voice. We learn that there are two voices that speak to us—the voice of the world and the inner, original voice of the heart.
The student understands that the voice of the heart is not just about words, but is largely composed of feelings—all kinds of feelings—from hope to despair and from love to hate. However, according to the teacher, the inner voice of the heart has many levels:
Like the universe, the heart is multi-leveled. The heart of which I speak is adept at expressing intuitive intelligence in the spirit of compassion and understanding. When you hear a voice within that strikes this balance, you have found your inner voice. 4.
So the teacher makes it very clear that despite the multi-leveled nature of the heart, the inner voice can easily be identified because it expresses a balance between compassion and understanding. This simple definition is the best guide for assessing whether we are listening to the voice of the heart or the voice of the ego.
The main difficulty, of course, is that our egos drown out the sound of our inner voice. This inner voice is always present. This is made clear in the remaining paragraphs of this opening section. The imperfections of our human instruments (physical flaws, various weaknesses, bad habits, emotional and mental hang-ups, defense mechanisms, etc.) combine to cut us off from the intuitive intelligence emanating from the higher dimensions of the heart. The teacher describes this simply as the “imperfections of the human instrument colliding with the imperfections of the three-dimensional environment.” 8.
The teacher offers us hope, however:
Student: So the inner voice continues to express itself even though the imperfections make its voice inaudible?
Teacher: Yes. 11-12.
Teacher: The imperfections of the human instrument and the three-dimensional world are like clouds that obscure the depths of the heart. If you can see beyond these clouds, if only for a short time, you will try to access and understand your inner voice and express it fully in your life despite the imperfections. 20.
83 (3) Paragraphs 21-30 The Energetic (Quantum) Heart
This short section describes the heart. (Note, that later in the discourse the teacher also refers to the energetic heart as the quantum heart.)
First we learn that the physical heart is the material manifestation of the energetic heart. Our most vivid sense of the physical heart is the bodily sensation and sound of the heart continuously pumping blood throughout our bodies. Obviously, when the heart ceases, the physical body dies. Yet, according to the teacher, this outer, physical heart, is the more visible part of the energetic heart that continuously pumps intuitive intelligence into the mind. (28.) This is a vital point to remember whenever we become aware of the beating heart and pulsing blood of our physical bodies.
Beyond this interesting point, we find that the energetic heart is the “source template of the physical heart” (26). Thus, the energetic heart is not only an invisible aspect of the physical heart, but the energetic heart is the source from which the physical heart is constructed. Even more significant, perhaps, is what the teacher says next about the energetic heart:
It is the point of connection to the highest form of consciousness from which your inner voice arises. 28.
We will soon learn what this highest form of consciousness is, but first (paragraph 30) the teacher gives a general overview of the functions of the energetic heart:
• The heart is dimensional and multi-faceted
• It expresses emotional currents
• Regulates physiological functions
• Activates certain brain chemistry
• Communicates throughout the body and mind
• Receives precognitive impressions from your future environments
• Connects you to all other states of being
The heart is also the gateway to the compassion frequency of love—the purest force of the multiverse. 30.
84 (4) Paragraphs 31-42 The Compassion Frequency of Love
The teacher then explains that love exists as different frequencies which are also described as forms of intelligence. This unique concept confuses the student because he has always thought that the individual determined the quality of love’s expression. The teacher quickly points out that the student’s misconception is due to a lack of knowledge concerning the nature of emotions:
Emotions have an embedded intelligence based on their frequency and how the frequency resonates with the higher circuits of the multiverse.
Student: I don’t understand.
Teacher: Think of the multiverse as eleven holographic spheres of consciousness, each interpenetrating the one that is more inward. Only the outer sphere contains all spheres, and this is the consciousness of First Source, while the innermost sphere is the consciousness of inanimate objects like a stone or seashell. Love is separated into frequencies that resonate in harmony with each of these “spheres” or domains of consciousness. Similarly, the heart itself consists of different layers of consciousness, and each “layer” has an intelligence of perception and expression. This intelligence is linked to the brain and higher mind, so that the human instrument is capable of expressing from any dominant frequency or sphere of the multiverse. Student: Including the level of First Source?
Teacher: Yes. 38-42.
Let’s bullet these items to make them easier to understand. The multiverse consists of:
• Eleven holographic spheres of consciousness.
• Each interpenetrating the one that is more inward.
• The outer sphere contains all spheres, and this is the consciousness of First Source.
• The innermost sphere is the consciousness of inanimate objects like a stone or seashell.
• Love is separated into frequencies that resonate in harmony with each of these “spheres” or domains of consciousness.
The heart consists of:
• Different layers of consciousness, and each “layer” has an intelligence of perception and expression. • This intelligence is linked to the brain and higher mind. • Hence, the human instrument is capable of expressing from any dominant frequency or sphere of the multiverse and this includes First Source.
86 (6) Paragraphs 43-48 The Heart—Gateway to the Multiverse
The next few paragraphs are tremendously important. We learn that the heart functions as a cosmic decoder of emotional frequencies emanating from the various levels of the multiverse. It absorbs these frequencies and steps them down so that they can be expressed through the three-dimensional human instrument.
The student is surprised by this explanation because of the generally accepted idea that the brain is the “supreme organ of the human instrument.” The student continues by mentioning the crown chakra and the third eye as being closely connected to the brain. Therefore, should they not be more closely connected to First Source than the heart?
The teacher responds by explaining that the heart operates at the highest frequency within the human instrument. Emotions are faster than the speed of thought and “they operate outside of time/space when they are in resonance with the higher circuits of the multiverse.”
This final point indicates how emotions and feelings transcend the threedimensional world in which we live. The highest, most refined, and beautiful emotions we experience through our human instruments, may pale in comparison to the source of these feelings. For example, what might the original vibration of a great symphony feel like prior to its expression through the human mind and heart of the composer, or shall we say translator? These types of emotions operate outside of time and space. Metaphorically speaking, the heart functions as the lightning rod of the highest emotional energy attainable and as the translator of cosmic feeling into sublime human emotion and uplift.
Finally, we read this exchange which reveals the power of the heart’s emotions in relation to spiritual experience.
Student: If the heart operates at the highest frequency then emotions are more certain to be the catalysts that awaken us to our true selves?
Teacher: Yes, this is why the most profound spiritual experiences are woven from the textures of the heart’s emotions rather than the thoughts of the mind.
This response by the teacher clearly delineates the two primary modes by which humans process information—through the heart’s emotions and through the mind’s thoughts. Questions such as, “What do you think about this?” and “What are your feelings about this?” demonstrate the continuous conflict between head and heart, logic and gut, reason and emotion. The important element introduced here is that both head and heart are forms of intelligence.
We are all familiar with the intelligence quotient or IQ, which measures our ability to use reason and logic in problem solving. Within the past few years, however, various researchers in the psychological field have begun to identify another type of intelligence called emotional intelligence.
Our Western society has been so taken with the reasoning power of the mind and the science and technology which it has spawned, that the power of the emotions has been marginalized. We are learning that there must be a balance between these two powerful forces of human psychology. Much could be written here about this fundamental duality of “head and heart,” but the important point to understand in the context of this discourse is that the heart and brain are meant to operate in a coordinated way—they are a team, they are one system. This is an exciting discovery and key to accessing our inner voice or intuitive intelligence.
At this point in the discourse the teacher begins to give the techniques of the intuitive intelligence in the form of four specific steps. However, the style of the dialogue between student and teacher interweaves these four steps with other, vital information pertaining to these steps. Therefore, I have provided an instructional outline of the four steps at the end of this commentary in order to focus more on the details upon which the steps are based. In other words, there are the practical steps themselves, but also the principles underlying those steps.
86 (6) Paragraphs 49-68 Visualization and Imagination
The object of the exercise being introduced here is to clear emotional debris from the brain and neural network. The teacher clearly points out that these emotional blockages are not in the heart, but are in the brain. The key to their removal, however, resides in the quantum heart.
It begins with the compassion frequency of the emotion called forgiveness. This frequency can be evoked within your heart through this command:
As the light of my heart brightens, so does my capacity to forgive. As forgiveness flows into my heart it moves upwards, filling my entire head with the most delicate and refined light imaginable, and from this light, a compassion for my past settles in, and all that has occurred is rewritten in this light. 50.
This “command” or affirmation establishes the connection between the heart and the head. It also joins the elements of light and forgiveness. We don’t know what the light of the heart is in terms of energy, but it does appear to be connected with a frequency or rate of vibration and thus, is related to the multi-dimensional quality of the heart.
Forgiveness is also an energy or force that apparently has a frequency. So, if we liken emotions to a specific band of vibrations, forgiveness is a compassion frequency falling within the wider spectrum of emotions. Following through on this idea, we might surmise that there is also a specific range of frequencies related to thought, with particular frequencies that identify logic, reason, and other elements.
Next, the teacher makes an interesting statement, “While this invocation is being said, you can listen carefully to the words and allow them to form visual pictures in your heart” (50). The student has always heard about picturing images in the head, but never anywhere else in the body, particularly the heart.
Teacher: Visualization is not confined to a specific position in the body or head. It can be placed anywhere by projection. Simply project the pictures to the area in the center of your chest. The one who views the projection can be outside of your body watching from a distance of a few meters.
Student: Who is watching outside my body?
Teacher: You are. 52-4.
It should be fairly obvious by now that these techniques of the intuitive intelligence are not mystical reveries or efforts to relax and drift off to some semi-conscious state of bliss. No, although the exercises are simple, they involve complete attention, alertness, and active participation in visualization and in the directing, or projection of thought to specific areas of the body.
Practitioners are taking responsibility for invoking forgiveness, leading to compassion, in order to rewrite their past experiences. In a curious way, this is a form of time travel. We might ask, who is the projector? Who is the director, the visualizer? The human instrument is being acted upon by “you,” who is “watching outside” the body. We must assume that this individual consciousness is some aspect of the soul or Wholeness Navigator, which is beyond time and space and is in a position to rewrite the past.
The point here is that the time and space-based ego personality cannot perform this exercise with success. That is why, later, the teacher tells us that these techniques must be applied for thirty days or more. Ironically, it takes time for the effects of the practice to establish themselves within our human instruments. We are learning to activate our heart-brain systems from outside the time-space psychological framework of the ego personality. In the process of doing this, we are re-establishing our consciousness on an expanded platform of operation that transcends but includes the ego-personality. This new perimeter of consciousness activity now extends into the higher frequencies of the Wholeness Navigator.
The discourse now proceeds to the second step. Here the teacher describes this light.
Teacher: The second step is to allow this light to settle in. It requires that you perceive the light as a very, very refined mist of yellow-gold, suspended, yet moving at a level beneath perception. It is important to sense that this movement of the light inside your head possesses intelligence—capable of rewiring, rewriting, adapting your emotional history. 58.
Here we learn that this light is a refined mist of yellow-gold suspended within and around the head. This is what we must learn to visualize. Further, we are instructed to sense that this light possesses an intelligence that can totally alter our emotional history. So, not only should we work to visualize this light, but we begin to work with the idea of sensing the intelligence of this light.
Now, the visualizing aspect is specifically oriented to the mind and brain. This is a mental component. The sensing part (sense that this movement...) is much more diffuse as opposed to the sharp focus required to visualize. This sensing component is of the heart. It suggests sensory tendrils extending out into the environment in order to collect information that can then be processed. In an interesting way, the first component is yang-like masculine and the second is yin-like feminine. Again, the integration of both components is necessary for a complete and balanced expression of wholeness.
The student is eager to plunge in and evaporate the clouds of emotion blocking the sunlight of the heart, but the teacher reiterates the vital importance of visualization and imagination in the process. Admittedly, most, if not all of us, require training in visualization, imagination (creating images), projection, and sensing. Generally speaking, we may think we are proficient in these skills, but sitting and practicing the techniques will reveal our capacities. This is why the teacher recommends a minimum of thirty days of persistent practice before any changes in our attitudes toward life may manifest. Naturally, some individuals may be quite proficient in these areas, but there is always room for improvement.
Student: Why are visualization and imagination so important to this process?
Teacher: They engage the heart’s core intelligence and the brain’s receptivity is the result. 61-2.
In this exchange and those immediately following we learn that the brain works best with images sent to it by the heart which are clear and precise. These images are described as signals. The clearer the signal the more potent it is. It is this potency which allows the higher brain to respond.
The qualities of these heart signals are described as “visual energy” and “emotional authenticity.” The higher brain is only capable of detecting signals of this quality.
Teacher: Whatever images are projected upon the heart region, they are energized. To the degree you can
• visualize the image clearly,
• project it to your heart area and
• imbue it with your heart’s core emotions,
you will send a more potent signal to your higher brain. It is this potency that the higher brain responds to. 66 [Italics mine.]
89 (9) Paragraphs 69-84 The Heart-Brain System
Teacher: Just as the physical heart has an energetic or quantum counterpart, so does the brain. These two organs and their peripheral systems—at both the physical and quantum levels—are completely integrated, in a manner which science is only now beginning to understand.
It is not that the heart transmits an order to the brain, and the brain, detecting the potency of the directive elects to act on it or not. The heart and brain are a unified system that cycles and recycles energy, information, and intelligence within the human instrument. This system operates with greater effectiveness, in terms of expressing its innate intelligence in three-dimensional environments, when it is entrained to the core heart energy of compassion and understanding. 70 [Italics mine].
Up to this point it has been unclear what the teacher is referring to when he mentions the “higher brain.” Some brain researchers describe three brains—the first reptilian brain, the second mammalian brain, and the third primate brain. This third brain is what separates humans from all other animals. It is reasonable, perhaps, to call this the higher brain. However, the first sentence in paragraph 70 refers to a quantum brain which is a counterpart to the quantum heart comprising the heart-brain system. This quantum brain may be the higher brain to which the teacher is referring. Consequently, any further references to the brain or higher brain should be thought of as including the quantum brain as well.
The knowledge that the brain and the heart form one unified system which continuously recycles energy, information, and intelligence is powerful and critical information. Just as important is the last sentence in paragraph 70, which extends the qualities of compassion and understanding from a subjective, personal feeling level to a more objective, scientific knowledge level. In this context compassion and understanding are presented in terms of energies with specific frequencies.
The student next asks for more details about the phrase “emotional authenticity.” This question adds more to the scientific approach to understanding the heart-brain system. The teacher explains that the brain has been deliberately designed in such a way that it is tuned to specific core heart frequencies. In this case these are compassion and understanding.
Apparently, there are emotions born of the three-dimensional environment and which comprise our emotional history. These lower frequency emotions are not conducive to the smooth and healthy functioning of the heart-brain system. These are the source of the metaphorical clouds which block the emotions of authenticity continuously emanating from the quantum heart.
This brings us to the final paragraph of this section on the heart-brain system. Lost in much of this discourse is the reason why we should learn to use the heart-brain system. Yes, we know that our inner voice is important for our spiritual guidance, but there is more to it than that. This is revealed in paragraph 84.
Teacher: The heart and brain systems were designed to enable those who were able to apply their imaginations from the core heart frequencies to access the higher frequency, higher intelligence of the genetic mind. This access made them the prophets and philosophers of humanity—the wisdom bearers that elevated all of humanity. 84. 57
This information clearly identifies the crucial importance of the heart-brain system—it is our means of contact with the genetic mind. Lyricus Discourse 5 explains the important role of the genetic mind in the discovery of the Grand Portal and paragraph 84 illustrates how the prophets and philosophers of the past were able to bring great wisdom to humanity through their ability to enter the genetic mind. Significantly, without the proper functioning of the heart-brain system these “wisdom bearers” would not have been able to penetrate the genetic mind.
91 (11) Paragraphs 85-96 Who is Eligible to Receive this Knowledge?
Obviously, somewhere in the development of these sages, prophets, and masters, they learned how to utilize the heart-brain system in order to enter the genetic mind and intelligently communicate their knowledge and wisdom to humanity. Various traditions, both Eastern and Western, tell of mystery schools where such knowledge was taught to those willing to enter them and undergo the disciplines (physical and psychological) required to access the genetic mind.
The student is aware of these schools and therefore indicates to the teacher that such knowledge is probably only available to certain people, thus excluding others. We pick up the dialogue here
Teacher: Should anyone be excluded? Student: What about those who knowingly practice evil?
Teacher: A lifetime of 4000 weeks to explore and understand the infinite cosmos is the explanation of evil.
Student: I don’t understand?
Teacher: We are good, spiritual beings, not by the expression of our behaviors, but by our intrinsic nature—our origin. We are each allowed access to this higher knowledge not by how we act, but by simply being what we are. 88-92.
This is a significant passage because the teacher is explaining that we cannot judge evil by the relatively short span of a human lifetime (4000 weeks equals roughly 77 years). We are, by nature, spiritual beings living in unusual conditions at the physical, three-dimensional time-space level of the multiverse. Hence, we are going to make many mistakes as we learn to negotiate the challenges and pitfalls of life on the physical plane. The accumulation of such mistakes results in tragic acts of evil committed by many, but as has been pointed out elsewhere in this material, evil is defined as ignorance and is inevitably overcome by knowledge, understanding, compassion, and wisdom. This is why we have a built-in heart-brain system within the human instrument.
Thus, it is our birthright to gain access to the so-called “spiritual” dimensions of the soul and Wholeness Navigator. It is then our role to inspire others with the knowledge and wisdom that we have experienced in these higher vibrational realms of existence. Apparently, the first one of these areas that we encounter is the genetic mind.
After explaining to the student that the teaching of esoteric techniques of liberation in the old mystery schools was based on a reward of loyalty, the student asks a very good question:
Student: ...But won’t some people abuse these techniques, using them for selfish or even evil purposes? Teacher: I just explained that the heart and brain are an integrated system designed to activate, access, and express the higher frequencies of compassion and understanding, and that the brain serves the role of assessing the emotional authenticity of the heart. This skill, intelligence, insight whatever you choose to call it, is absolute and inborn within all higher life forms. No one can utilize the techniques of the intuitive intelligence if their heart is passing data to their brain that is derivative of emotional distortions common to three-dimensional environments. 95-6. [Italics mine.]
With this answer the teacher is clearly stating that there is a fail-safe built into the heart-brain system and consequently, any higher powers achieved through such practices can only be used to benefit “the mind of many.” Emotions and desires engendered within the three-dimensional environment and accumulated as emotional history cannot activate the heart-brain system.
93 (13) Paragraphs 102-110 Release and Surrender
The next phase of this discourse is about the third step of the intuitive intelligence techniques. This is identified as release. What does this mean? Release concerns the attitude we maintain toward our “progress and success” in achieving the goal of the technique.
The teacher states that the student (and all who read these discourses) must “adopt an inner attitude of surrender and release” (104) to the results of practicing the technique. The student responds with a seemingly logical deduction that the effort to practice the techniques demonstrates surrender to the process. The student has missed the point, however, because it is not about surrendering to the technique, but to the results of the technique.
Many readers may be familiar with this idea. It appears in many self-help books in the form of “being attached to the outcome.” We all know the anguish of experiencing a loss, whether it is a sporting event, an election, a test result, or a myriad of other instances.
Although this may appear obvious and therefore of little importance, it is especially important in relation to the techniques described in these discourses. These exercises involve subtle, but powerful forces, which lie at the very core of our existence as human beings. We are working with the fundamental structures of our human instruments. This includes our physical, energetic, emotional, and mental forms. In this regard, our desires can have an overwhelming effect on subtle energies and forces we are attempting to activate within the heart-brain system. This is not the same as rooting for the home team with all the emotional desire for victory that such events evoke. It goes without saying, that if this were not an important issue, this third step would not be included in the technique.
Teacher: Your desire for the end benefit, in this case, a more profound connection to your intuitive intelligence, can overshadow your willingness to see the wisdom in the process and delay gratification for the thing you desire. 108.
94 (14) Paragraphs 111-122 Release and the Ego-Personality
This is an interesting section because the teacher explains the role which the egopersonality plays in practicing these techniques. The ego-personality is an aspect of our overall consciousness which is oriented to working in the three-dimensional world of time and space—and more importantly, surviving in that world. Relatively speaking, this is a good thing. However, at a certain stage of consciousness development the strategies employed by the ego-personality to ensure its survival run counter to the plans of the larger soul consciousness. Hence, when individuals are inspired by higher aspects of their own consciousness to move beyond survival to transformation by initiating techniques of intuitive intelligence (or other forms of spiritual practice), the ego-personality quite naturally feels threatened. This is why step three is included in this discourse.
Because the ego-personality survives through competition, it is naturally filled with desire for victory over the “other” and is attached to successful outcomes. Thus, at the beginning of any kind of practice, material or spiritual, it will bring this desire for success to the forefront of consciousness.
Teacher: If by clearing the clouds of your emotional history you improve access to your intuitive intelligence or inner voice, the ego will search for evidence of your progress in order to satisfy its innate hunger for achievement.
The ego is not something to be banished, ignored or faulted for this attitude, but rather it is to be refined. 114.
Eventually, however, the ego-personality recognizes that a higher form of energy is being invoked and generated by the heart-brain system. These energies run counter to the lower frequencies of the ego-personality.
Teacher:...Your ego is adept at operating within the lower, outer forces, in much the same way as your heart is adept at operating within the higher, inner forces. As you seek to align to these inner forces, your ego will perceive the effort and the process therein as a trivial distraction to the real world problems that press upon you. The instinctual response of the ego-personality, in this case, is to perceive the focus on your core heart frequencies as misdirected.
Student: Why?
Teacher: Because the ego resides within the lower mind and its attachment to the physical body is mainly through the eyebrain’s perception of its dominant reality—the three-dimensional world. To the pure ego, the heart is simply a bothersome appendage of the physical body that displays weakness. 118-20
The last thing to be said about this relationship between the ego-personality and the forces of the intuitive intelligence is that the ego-personality is not to be eliminated. It plays a vital function in establishing an entity as an individual being who is unique among all other beings. Individuality forms the basis of the enormous diversity exhibited in the multiverse. It is the source of the endless beauty and creative expressions honed out of the primordial matter of creation by humanity.
Paragraphs 124 to 128 contain the instructions for Release. This is a breathing exercise combined with visualization. Details of the exercise are contained in the full outline at the end of this commentary. Before continuing on to the final section of the discourse we should consider two aspects of the exercise.
The first is a statement made by the practitioner at the point of exhaling. The words are “Leave it in the mystery to shine of its own light.” The teacher offers no explanation of this statement and it doesn’t need much explanation except to say that these words express a true sense of neutrality. This attitude of detachment is important, because it neutralizes the ego-personality’s desire for winning. This statement expresses a contentment within ourselves to allow the lower forces to simply exist in their own light without any desire on our part to control them, destroy them, or influence them in anyway, except to simply let them go. This attitudes fosters a real sense of liberation within ourselves.
The second point concerns the teacher’s remarks about the technique as follows:
Student: I was expecting the release part to be more complicated and difficult.
Teacher: The difficult part is when you lack the technique for release, or you practice the technique without emotional authenticity and visual energy.
Beyond the obvious point that we should practice this technique, the two factors of emotional authenticity and visual energy are necessary. Both require real effort on our part to improve our skill in making these effective.
Visual energy is more accessible to us in that we can see in the mind’s eye how clear we are picturing or visualizing the quantum area of the heart and the energies arising within it as they meet the incoming forces of the ego-personality. Some practitioners are naturally better at visualizing than others, but nonetheless, the effort to direct conscious attention to particular locations in the body does have its effects and it is simply a matter of persistent and consistent practice.
Emotional authenticity is somewhat different. This factor is less about the mind and visualization and is more about the heart itself and getting in touch with our feelings. In the same way that some have difficulty visualizing, others have difficulty contacting and expressing emotions. And I don’t mean the emotional reactions we display through our everyday reactions of anger, irritation, envy, frustration, etc. These are of the ego-personality. I mean the ability to tune into the more subtle emotions emanating from the heart. The idea here is to increase our sensitivity to the emotions and deep feelings emanating from the quantum heart.
Emotional authenticity is all about honesty and integrity toward ourselves. We must acknowledge and identify the emotions of the ego-personality and also become sensitive to the deeper feelings of compassion and understanding that are present in the heart, but obscured by the heavy emotional clouds of the ego-personality. By increasing our sensitivity to the emotions of the heart, we activate them within ourselves and learn to dissipate the harsher emotions of the ego-personality. We thus, become emotionally authentic.
Emotional authenticity is also about intention. What is our motive for engaging in these practices? Have we honestly examined our purpose for practicing the techniques of intuitive intelligence? Such questions are not a litmus test of worthiness, but an act of taking stock of who we are and what ideas and emotions we have accumulated on our journey through life. It’s another way of examining what we have inscribed in the book of our emotional history. It is about authentically turning our attention to the lives we live without judgment or blame. Although none of this is explicitly present in these techniques, emotional authenticity is the bedrock upon which we stand as we perform the exercises. In a sense, by our simple, direct, and blameless acknowledgement of our life accumulations “we leave it in the mystery to shine of its own light.”
96 16) Paragraphs 129-68 Light Distribution
These final paragraphs of the discourse encompass step four of the intuitive techniques. It is known as light distribution, although the teacher likes to call it light connection. (130) He describes this process as follows:
Teacher: Just as the physical heart distributes oxygen via the blood to the periphery of the physical body, the quantum heart distributes light via
• visual energy and
• emotional authenticity
to the borders of the human instrument. The light distribution technique is to imagine light circulating—unimpeded—throughout the expansive you.
Student: I’m not sure what that means.
Teacher: The human instrument consists of the physical body, emotional system, and the facets of the mind. The grid that interconnects these elements and causes them to operate efficiently as a system is similar to the veins and arteries of the physical body. This grid conveys light that in turn unifies a quantum field and allows it to operate independently of the multiverse. We sometimes refer to this individuated grid as the expansive you. 132-34.
So, the human instrument is held together by a grid of some type. This grid carries a form of light energy that is able to unify a quantum field which operates independently of the multiverse. This individuated grid is the “expansive you.”
In the following paragraphs the teacher informs the student of the importance of turning attention to the fact that we are an individuated energy grid into which light is continuously flowing via the quantum heart.
The student is puzzled by the need to turn one’s attention to something that is occurring quite naturally, even without one’s knowledge. This seems like a reasonable consideration, but the teacher points out that this process really needs to be helped along because our interaction with the physical environment degrades the flow of light into our human instruments.
Student: So distributing light is not about concentrating it?
Teacher: No. It’s balancing the light quotient within the human instrument and ensuring it is
• coherent
• rhythmic
• free flowing
Student: It sounds like you’re describing the physical heart again.
Teacher: This is the natural state of the heart and the entire human instrument, but in the day-to-day interactions with the three-dimensional environment, the human instrument can lose this balance and slip into an
• incoherent
• arrhythmic
• entangled state of existence
The heart perceives this state and, without knowledge of the proper techniques, responds in kind, fueling the mental dysfunction and physiological inefficiency with its energy.
Student: More “cloud” cover?
Teacher: Precisely. This is why this step in the process is important because it helps the heart to synchronize its energy with the deeper, sub-quantum structures upon which you depend. 145-50. [Italics mine.]
The interesting aspect of this fourth step (and the others) is the premise that we can effect matter by turning our attention, our conscious awareness to specific energy structures. This fourth step involves little more than rapidly visualizing light flowing throughout our quantum heart system and into the physical system. We might ponder upon the mysterious power of conscious attention and its effects on matter and energy. Note also that emotional authenticity still plays a role in the process. The visual energy part is the active element, while the emotional authenticity part is the steadfast, foundational element.
In paragraph 154 the teacher describes the dynamic relationship between the quantum heart and the vast light grid surrounding it. The quantum heart is pulsating, just like the physical heart, but the quantum heart is pumping light energy into the human instrument. It is circulating, distributing, and collecting light. The outline contains the entire section but in part the teacher describes it thus:
Feel this connection as a rhythmic pulsing of light, flowing from the grid into your heart system and then flowing out from your heart to the rest of your body. 154.
The discourse comes to a close with the teacher explaining that this technique cannot be done too often. “It can be done twenty times each day for the rest of your life” (158).
Summation
This discourse opens by defining two voices within each of us. There is the voice of the world, the voice of the ego-personality and there is the inner voice, the voice within the heart. This inner voice is our intuitive intelligence. Thus, the techniques explained in this discourse are exercises designed to bring the inner voice into the range of our consciousness.
This inner voice is always present, like the sun in the sky, but it is obscured by the overshadowing clouds of the three-dimensional environment in which we live. It is this condition which sustains the ego-personality.
The intuitive intelligence is contacted via the quantum or energetic heart. Our physical heart is an outer extension of the more vital quantum heart. This heart is multi-dimensional and is the gateway to the multiverse and to the higher, more expansive consciousness of the soul or Wholeness Navigator. Hence, our inner voice has its origin in the habitat of the soul and is accessible through the quantum heart. The ability to speak with the inner voice allows entry into the genetic mind of humanity. Through this ability the individual is able to uplift and inspire humanity through literature, sacred texts, art, music, and scientific discoveries.
The techniques of the intuitive intelligence depend upon particular essential factors for success in increasing our ability and capacity for contacting our inner voice. These key elements are:
• Visualization
• Emotional Authenticity
• Release and Surrender
• Persistence in Practice
Visualization requires practice and results in clarity of vision.
Emotional Authenticity requires honesty and results in purity of heart.
Release and Surrender require acceptance and results in equilibrium.
Persistence in Practice require discipline and results in steadfast purpose.
Knowledge and understanding of the heart-brain system are also vital for improving our skills in working with intuitive intelligence. We learned that the counterpart to the quantum heart is the quantum brain. These are two components of one energy system underlying their physical counterparts. The ability to join our consciousness to this energy system induces effects in the entire human instrument. The effectiveness of this focused, purposeful attention is dependent on the four elements mentioned above.
Finally, this discourse reveals that we are individuated energy grids that are connected to the energy grid of the multiverse. This grid pulses light energy into our smaller grid which is responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of our human instruments. The heart-brain system is the interface between these two grids. Although this light energy sustains us, its potency can be greatly enhanced if we consciously turn our visual energy and emotional authenticity to this vital connection. The three-dimensional world of time and space is continuously draining the energy of the human instrument and interfering with the emotional frequencies emanating from the quantum heart. By disciplining ourselves to practice widening this connection, we can increase our ability to hear our inner voice and penetrate the genetic mind of humanity which contains great wisdom and borders the realm of the soul and Wholeness Navigator.
Teacher: If you can access your intuitive intelligence, in a sense, increase the bandwidth of your connection to the light energy grid that supports you, a single word can catapult you into understanding, when before a hundred books left you in ignorance. Intuitive intelligence is the potency of the quantum heart trickling into the three dimensional world. It is the key to the knowledge that matters. For this knowledge changes everything in the dimensions of the past, present and future.
Student: I will faithfully practice it. Thank you for sharing this with me.
Teacher: It is my honor. 166-8.
Conclusion
The information about the heart brain system stands out the most prominently in this sixth discourse. So much of our current civilization is based on the brain, the mind, logic, and reason. Intelligence is almost exclusively associated with the reasoning power of the mind and not with the feeling sense. The assertion that there is an entirely different “species” of intelligence related to the intuitive energy of the energetic heart is refreshing indeed. It adds an important, missing piece to the puzzle of our psychological composition.
This discourse raises the level of the WingMakers/Lyricus material to new heights by introducing practical means of activating the entire array of psychological resources present—but latent—within our individuated consciousness. The paper entitled, “Excerpts from Liminal Cosmogony” mentions “activation resources” that will be made available to all those resonating with this material. I believe these discourses, especially five and six, represent the beginning stage of presenting these activation resources to those individuals who feel aligned with this material.
A truly empowering concept introduced here is that of consciousness itself. The notion that we can direct our conscious attention to the energetic heart and activate this system for our benefit is powerful information. The exercises are simple and direct, only requiring our dedication to their practice. Patience and attention to detail will yield results and the absence of any religious vocabulary eliminates dogmas, but retains the natural spiritual energy present in all things. Examples are love expressed as compassion and understanding, light moving within us, the cultivation of a neutral or detached attitude, the use of the breath (the word “spirit” derives from the Latin spiritus or breath), emotional authenticity, and the creative use of the imagination through visual energy. All of these elements are psychospiritual tools of transformation which do not need religious beliefs or dogmas for their successful implementation.
Another point of real significance in this discourse is that the ego-personality is not destroyed, but is transformed by the mediating and persistent influence of the soul or Wholeness Navigator as it stimulates the heart-brain system into activity. This sudden introduction of the Wholeness Navigator into the discussion may seem unwarranted, but we should inquire, “Who is the one that seeks to contact the intuitive intelligence or inner voice? Who is doing the exercises? Can it be the egopersonality? No because its domain is restricted to the outer, material world. Can it be the Wholeness Navigator or soul? Yes it can, but only indirectly through such emanating qualities as compassion, understanding, wholeness, and harmony.
Recall the early discourses in which the teacher states that we cannot experience the Wholeness Navigator directly, but we can and do experience it through the expression of love, beauty, harmony, reverence, and wholeness. Most importantly, underlying all these factors is that of trust. Without trust in the process and trust in the material we would not and could not work with it successfully. And this trust comes from an even deeper level of trust in our own internal sense of alignment to, resonance with, and recognition of our path of truth seeking. This trust comes from the Wholeness Navigator and leads to the inspiration required to move forward with that to which we have been called. In this particular instance it is the information provided in these Lyricus Discourses.
Thus, we have within us, built into the very core of our human instruments, everything we need to expand beyond the limiting perimeters of our threedimensional world. We are now being provided those activation resources that can lead us to the discovery of our own souls and break forever the bonds that tie us to time and space alone.
Outline of
Emotional Clearing Exercise And
Light Distribution
Prepared by Darlene Berges
“Intuitive intelligence is the potency of the quantum heart trickling into the three dimensional world. It is the key to the knowledge that matters. For this knowledge changes everything in the dimensions of the past, present and future.” Lyricus Discourse 6, Lyricus Teaching Order
The following is an outline of an exercise given in Lyricus Discourse 6 for clearing emotional “debris” accumulated in the human instrument. This outline is meant to be used in conjunction with Lyricus Discourse 6 and is not a substitute for studying the original.
Invocation Step 1
As the light of my heart brightens, so does my capacity to forgive. As forgiveness flows into my heart it moves upwards, filling my entire head with the most delicate and refined light imaginable, and from this light, a compassion for my past settles in, and all that has occurred is rewritten in this light.
While this invocation is being said, you can listen carefully to the words and allow them to form visual pictures in your heart.
Teacher: Visualization is not confined to a specific position in the body or head. It can be placed anywhere by projection. Simply project the pictures to the area in the center of your chest. The one who views the projections can be outside of your body watching from a distance of a few meters.
Student: Who is watching outside my body?
Teacher: You are.
Imagination Step 2
Teacher: The second step is to allow this light to settle in. It requires that you perceive the light as a very, very refined mist of yellow-gold, suspended yet moving at a level beneath perception. It is important to sense that this movement of the light inside your head possesses intelligence—capable of rewiring, rewriting, adapting your emotional history.
Teacher: …visualization and imagination are vital elements of this process. Teacher: Whatever images are projected upon the heart region, they are energized. To the degree that you can visualize the image clearly, project it to your heart area and imbue it with your heart’s core emotions, you will send a more potent signal to your higher brain. It is this potency that the higher brain responds to.
Release Step 3
Student How is this accomplished?
Teacher: When you fine-tune your imagination and you see the refined light frequency within your head area and you allow this—in a sense—to take up residency, you must adopt the inner attitude of surrender and release.
Student: To what?
Teacher: To the results of the technique. To the fact that the emotional history that you have stored in your neural and quantum network called the human instrument, may undergo change or modification.
Student: How do I perform this release…
Teacher: After you have completed the first two steps,
a. Center your attention on your breathing.
b. Imagine that your in-breath brings desires of your ego into an interior chamber of your quantum heart.
c. Then imagine this desire for achievement—in the form of an inbreath—is suspended within this interior chamber by holding your breath. As you do so, your breath is intermixing with the inflow of compassion that arises from your quantum or energetic heart.
d. Now, expel this newly energized breath back though your heart area.
e. Each time as you exhale, repeat the phrase: “Leave it in the mystery to shine of its own light.”
f. Do this six to eight times.
Light Connection Step 4
How to create the Light Connection.
Teacher: Imagine the same function (circulatory system) is occurring in your quantum or energetic heart and that, instead of veins and arteries, there are filaments of light that diverge from your quantum heart and connect you to a broader grid. This grid is the source of your existence as a physical being. Now, you can think of these filaments as both roots and wings. Roots in the sense that they anchor and ground your existence; wings in the sense that they provide uplift and expansion to your life.
Throughout the day, simply feel the energy structure that surrounds you. When you do this, imagine that your heart is “plugging in” or connecting to this structure. Even if you cannot visualize it, feel its presence like a primordial soil of life-giving energy. Feel this connection as a rhythmic pulsing of light, flowing from the grid into your heart system and then flowing out from your heart to the rest of your body.
Teacher: It is not necessary to perform this when you act upon the other three steps. This fourth technique can be performed throughout the day and only takes a matter of seconds. It can be performed twenty times each day for the rest of your life. It is a technique to rebalance and replenish your core heart frequencies and to ensure they are being distributed throughout the human instrument. It activates the inner currents.
NOTE: Steps 1-3 should be done for at least 30 days or more:
“Teacher: ...Again, I want to stress that this is a process that requires a consistent practice for a period of time—typically thirty days or more.”

Steps for the
Emotional Clearing Exercise
And
Light Distribution
Its purpose is to help the practitioner to recast his or her emotional history into the compassion frequency, and by so doing, gain a deeper access and more fluent, ondemand expression of their inner voice or intuitive intelligence.
Step 1 Invocation
As the light of my heart brightens, so does my capacity to forgive. As forgiveness flows into my heart it moves upwards, filling my entire head with the most delicate and refined light imaginable, and from this light, a compassion for my past settles in, and all that has occurred is rewritten in this light.
Listen to the words as you say them.
Visualize the light in the area of the heart and see it flow up into your head filling it with light and extending beyond and around your head.
Step 2 Imagination
Allow this light to settle in.
Perceive the light as a very, very refined mist of yellow-gold, suspended yet moving at a level beneath perception.
This light inside your head possesses intelligence—capable of rewiring, rewriting, adapting your emotional history.
When you feel ready, you may want to imagine seeing yourself sitting in meditation with the yellow-gold mist around your head.
Step 3 Release
Teacher: After you have completed the first two steps,
a. Center your attention on your breathing.
b. Imagine that your in-breath brings desires of your ego into an interior chamber of your quantum heart.
c. Then imagine this desire for achievement—in the form of an inbreath—is suspended within this interior chamber by holding your breath. As you do so, your breath is intermixing with the inflow of compassion that arises from your quantum or energetic heart.
d. Now, expel this newly energized breath back though your heart area.
e. Each time as you exhale, repeat the phrase: “Leave it in the mystery to shine of its own light.”
f. Repeat this six to eight times.
Intuitive intelligence is the potency of the quantum heart trickling into the three dimensional world. It is the key to the knowledge that matters. For this knowledge changes everything in the dimensions of the past, present and future.
If you can access your intuitive intelligence, in a sense, increase the bandwidth of your connection to the light energy grid that supports you, a single word can catapult you into understanding, when before a hundred books left you in ignorance.
This is a process that requires a consistent practice for a period of time—typically thirty days or more.”
Step 4. Light Distribution.
Step 4 is a technique to rebalance and replenish your core heart frequencies and to ensure they are being distributed throughout the human instrument. It activates the inner currents.
This step in the process is important because it helps the heart to synchronize its energy with the deeper, sub-quantum structures upon which you depend.
Just as your heart is beating in your chest distributing oxygen to your body and brain system, imagine this same function is occurring in your quantum or energetic heart.
Filaments of light diverge from your quantum heart and connect you to a broader grid. This grid is the source of your existence as a physical being. Think of these filaments as both roots and wings. Roots in the sense that they anchor and ground your existence; and wings in the sense that they provide uplift and expansion to your life.
Feel this energy structure that surrounds you. Imagine that your heart is “plugging in” or connecting to this structure.
If you cannot visualize it, then feel its presence like a primordial soil of life-giving energy. Feel this connection as a rhythmic pulsing of light, flowing from the grid into your heart system and then flowing out from your heart to the rest of your body.
This fourth step is also a technique which can be performed throughout the day and only takes a matter of seconds. It can be performed twenty times each day for the rest of your life.
