The Light Body Teachings of the Psychic Surgeon
Copyright DOLFINA, 2003
Editor's Notes:
I would like to welcome readers to this exceptional book. There is a tremendous lot of profound knowledge in A Travel Guide to the Other Side for Gatekeepers of Death and Rebirth. You will definitely find answers to many of your questions, nevertheless, you may not get the solutions to all your inquiries the way you might expect them to come. The knowledge here is not the regular sort of knowledge to discuss or memorize as we do in our academic facilities. The knowledge presented here is the story of the Soul - learning how to be a spiritual being in a human body, how to get connected to other selves and your Spirit Guides, and how travel consciously to the other side. The book is written in a way to prompt your mind to see beyond the words. Very often people write down their truths, and general truths about the universe, and as a result, some of those truths are locked into and hidden within the sentences and therefore are sometimes limited to words on paper only. This book opens your knowledge beyond verbal or written communication because it makes your Mind and Spirit work together on many levels, some levels you would not expect to know to exist. It is a perfect jumpstart for your inner perception and a challenge-a test for your Mind. Jodell’s writing is truly challenging as her process of thinking is uncommon to mainstream academic reasoning, and though it is often very abstract, it is very logical. The content is philosophical at times and you might decide that it is not the easiest book you have read. Please feel free to read it as many times as you need, it is worth doing so as it triggers you to open your Mind to your Spirit and discover the truth of your own Soul. We were given here the keys to our Souls.

Chapter I
Getting more real
I had been having Out of Body Experiences since I was about seven years old as far as I can recall. When I was twelve years old, I had been having recurring nightmares of being in a nuclear war. I would wake up as the last survivor of a world war. I was having trouble sleeping at nights, so I had told my Great Aunt about my dreams. She was the only one I really felt I could talk about dreams because she shared hers at times.
I began sharing more experiences with her. One of them was about me leaving my body and traveling to the Philippines. In it, I was hovering above a large city that was filled with lights. I recognized it as Manila. I was in the seventh grade in Junior High. I revealed my "Flight to Manila" to my Great Aunt and she explained to me that I had an Out of Body Experience. I had not heard of that term before. At least, now, I was opening to words to describe my experiences.
The following year, in 1980, my Grandfather Bumatay announced his trip to the Philippines. Every so many years he and my Grandmother would travel to the Philippines to visit his relatives. I felt that I wanted to go with him. Someone in my family talked to him about me having expressed a desire to go. He invited me and I traveled with both of my grandparents to Manila, where I met my cousins and their mother, my Great Aunt Feline Viloria - my Grandfather's Elder Sister. We stayed at their home in Quezon City.
While we stayed in the same house at My Great Aunt Feline and her son's family, my cousin's sister-in-law translated things that were going around me into English. We became best of friends for about a month while I was there. There were times while we were home during the day when people would come to the gate in the yard, and my Great Aunt Feline would take them into a hut that was built of bamboo. It was rather like a shack next to the cement house. My Great Aunt Feline and her son lived in a neighbourhood that had been a military base housing for the Americans during the occupation of US soldiers. The homes were built with cement, but not the small hut my Great Aunt was leading people to. It was explained to me that my Great Aunt Feline was a "Faith Healer" and that those healers were known as "Psychic Surgeons."
Thus, while in the Philippines, I learned from my personal translator, friend, and cousin, that my Great Aunt Feline was a Filipino Faith Healer for the locals. In my personal translation, I thought to myself, "She is a witch doctor." I was so triggered and scared of becoming a "witch" like my Aunt Feline that I became deathly ill when we came back from visiting the birth place of my Grandfather, about six hours from Quezon City, in a coastal Provincial Village of the Northern Luzon. Aunt Feline was a folk healer like many of healers in the countrysides of the northern provinces. I was in some kind of shock, a state of dread and panic that made me sick. I felt like I was going to die.
Those memories came back to me only during the last of my college years as if I had repressed my memories and had forgotten about them. Once again, I began realizing that either I was a "witch", "crazy", or something else I could not explain. In my reading about Shamans and Shamanism, I did not feel connected to the paradigms I read about such as worlds with animal Souls and human Souls that were different or separate from each other. My Grandfather had never given me such explanations of reality. My other Great Aunt, who was of Native American decent, shared with me Creation Stories about certain myths, for example, how mountains became named. Her stories though, did not sound like the ones in the writings about the Shamans of Indigenous Tribes. She was a "Rock Hound" so she taught me about rocks and minerals. It is from her that I learned about the various types of rocks and rock formations of the land - inland and on the ocean. She was like a mythical storyteller. My whole childhood was filled with amazing stories.
On the other side of my family tree, my Grandfather Bumatay told me about our tribal ancestors and their heroes who fought for the protection of our tribal people. He was adamant to teach me about a Code of Ethics of the Head Hunters. I was taught how to heal my body using foods that would cure me during illness, prevent illness, and keep me feeling young in old age. In his teachings, he especially focused on the plants in his own garden. I spent a lot of time in the garden with my Grandfather. I asked him many, many questions and he loved spending time with me. He also performed Magic Tricks in which he would make things appear and disappear. Because of that I was fascinated by Magic.
I had read about Magic since I was seven years old. Mostly, I read biographies about Houidini - the Stage Magician. I knew that there were two types of Magic - Stage Magic and Real Magic. I wanted to know how to tell the difference. From books about Houidini I learned about the word term Medium and later, ESP. In my spare time, I looked for books at my local library and searched out the topic whenever I had the chance. My mom did not like this fascination. I had overheard her telling people in my family that I was an "Occult Leader in Training" while I was only in grade school. In addition, I had been talking to my Dream Beings and learning lots of things in my dreams.
Although I had been Lucid Dreaming since I was a child, I had not heard dreams described in those terms until I was in my last year in college when I read about Lucid Dreaming at the college library. Up until that time, I had not had words to describe my dreaming activities and experiences to my friends and family. Until then, I thought I was alone. And, even more, there was no explanation as to how I could enter an Out of Body Experience from a Dream State. There was no connection between the worlds I felt as separate from each other but knew as real experiences. I could find no explanations that felt right for me. This was a dilemma for me as I could not resolve the difference between my Lucid Dreams and my Out of Body Experiences. There were not words to link them together. I was at an impasse in my understanding and charting of my experiential process. However, the experiences kept occurring.
In 1994, my last semester at Sonoma State University, I had the following dream:
I was a Princess with long black hair. I was to the left of my Father who had shoulder length black hair. I recognized him immediately as my deceased Grandfather Bumatay. I knew that he was both my deceased Grandfather in this life and my Father in that Past Life.
My Father was presenting me to an Ancient Priest-King with white hair. We all looked Oriental and spoke in what seemed to be an Ancient Oriental Language that I understood with my mind. I mean that I had noticed that I could understand Dream Beings if I listened with my mind rather than with my ears.
I was in awe of this man. I felt compelled to reach out and touch him. As I did so he said, in English, "I am untouchable: I am a Sacred Being..." Afterwards, he and my Grandfather showed me to a pony and sent me off to the Mountains.
This Sacred Being has become a powerful Spirit Guide for me over the years.
I had been questioning a lot about what future I would follow after I graduated. I would have a degree in Liberal Arts and Philosophy. My degree program might have opened up opportunities for furthering my education but there were no career paths that I could see ahead of me.
(...)
In a magazine I had picked up, I saw some mountains with Chinese characters about a Chinese Medical School in Santa Fe, NM. I thought that maybe that was a sign for me to become a Chinese Medical Doctor so I could hide my "weird" realities within an acceptable paradigm, and not have to reveal that my knowledge and awareness came from Dream Beings.
The first week in Santa Fe, I moved in into a household where there were a few housemates living together. One of them told me she was looking for a car and asked if I would go with her to look at used cars. I went with her and while being at a used car lot a Hispanic man told me that he knew me from somewhere. "No, I just arrived from California this week", I said. He insisted that he never forgot a face. He continued, "I know you from somewhere. I know you. I worked in Hollywood." I said, "I never go to Southern California." My new friend and housemate wanted to test-drive a car. We all got inside with me in the back seat. While driving around, the salesman said, "I can be in two places at the same time."
I was not surprised. I knew that the Dream Beings had been teaching me how to travel backward and forward in time as well as to travel through parallel times in space. In college, I had written a paper about that for Professor Greene in a course called Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. In my Philosophy courses, I had been giving class presentations about seeing reality as if it was a dream. I had been feeling as if I was in a movie in which I could even play different parts other than the Jodell character. So after Professor Clayton had suggested that my descriptions sounded like I was describing physics, I began seeking information about the topic. I had begun to study physics of the metaphysical kind.
Being a female growing up in an era when women were just beginning to be encouraged to study things that prior generations of women never were given rights to learn, or know, I had not pursued mathematics. Else, given that I had studied geology, chemistry, and geometry since grade school, understanding of scientific theory came easy to me. I had even discovered through my Dream Beings that Reality was a Theory. I had been giving presentations in all of my senior courses on the illusion of mistaking theory as a reality. I had lost a near perfect grade average because I was saying things such as, "There is no such thing as Abnormal Behavior." I was using the logic of Wittgenstein's acknowledgement that there was "no such set as a set of non sets" to give a logical proof that there was Nothing Outside the All-There-Is Union of Sets. Thus, Nothing was Inside the Set of the Union of All Sets. However, somehow the Union of Nothing and Something might not be what we think it is, and we cannot really know how to discover what it truly is. This was upsetting my teachers in departments other than the Philosophy Department. I paid for their upset with my grades being slighted. They could tell I was communicating something but they could not understand what I was actually saying. It was too abstract and outside Theoretical rules of Thesis, Hypothesis, and Synthesis. This was Gnothesis.
My history teacher, a law graduate of Harvard University, wanted to fail me for writing a paper about the "Fallacy of Historical Documents and the Rewriting of History by the Wealthy and Privileged Men" of previous eras. My thesis was that there was no such thing as Historical Accounts of the Native Americans as seen through the eyes of Caucasians who were not in the "shoes" of the Native Americans. Any such historical accounts were the projections of the authors in supporting their own illusions. Such men, as the ones I was referring to, were the men educated by universities, and what is more is that neither women nor men of color would have been accepted in these elite circles during that period in our history when the History of America was being written. My Professor had given my paper to the other history teachers to judge my paper, which would make the difference of whether I would pass his course. The history department was in agreement that I was stating something analytical but they did not see the point of it: "History is History and Logic is Philosophy." He asked me to rewrite the paper with his Topic and rework it. I told him, "No." Somehow, he passed me and I still graduated that semester. I was done with being told how to think. Not only did I know how to think, I knew what it looked, felt and sounded like to think.
I had to take one more science course, which I was dreading because I had no interest in renditions, or models of reality, which were not about truly being in our present space and time as an experience. I was already aware that Reality was unperceivable and unconceivable. Consequently, I chose to take a course called Extraterrestrial Intelligence taught by an Astronomy Professor since I felt that I needed to explore the boundaries of science. Where was the edge of science? What did they know about the Layers of the Universe?
Before entering the course, I visited Professor in his office. I wanted to make sure that he would not think I was "crazy." Early on in school, like most smart students, I realized that the opinion of the teacher reflected the grade of the student. Only a very astute teacher would give good grades to students s/he did not like. When I visited Professor Greene, I asked him to hold out his hand and I asked him if he felt something across his palm when I pointed my finger at his hand and moved it back and forth. I had been practicing my remote-healing techniques by remote sensing with my hands. I had been able to do this since grade school. But in grade school I was not thinking that it was powerful, or that it had anything other than a fascinating experience to demonstrate to my peers. After all of my experience on the Other Side of being asleep, and being aware of being asleep while being on the Other Side, I was becoming aware that my senses were really sensing real phenomenon. I had taken my sensing so seriously that I had also been apprenticing with other hands-on healers during my spare time. Even though I was already psychic, I did not know what real psychic healers did and I needed to know if that was a career option for me. So I was practicing using my remote sensing as a matter of learning how to use it for healing other people. Right then, I was getting over my fear of being "weird."
Anyway, my Professor said he felt something on his palms, whatever it was he did not know. But he did feel an invisible force move across his palm. Then I asked him if he ever met an alien. He told me that he had not met any aliens. I asked him if he had dreamt about them and he said, "Yes, but they were only in my dreams." I asked, "Have you ever tried to talk to them?" He said, "No." I said, "Maybe you should?"
Now, I know better. No one is ready to go to the Other Side until they are prepared to change their sense of reality.
I had not studied the aliens or alien abductions until after I moved to Santa Cruz in 1995. I did not know any facts about alien contact, nor the physics involved. I had not yet entered the research of Extraterrestrial Experiences, or the UFO Phenomenon. It was not because I was not fascinated: I was scared to find out it might be real. As I say, as long as I had called my beings Dream Beings I felt okay.
During my course with Professor Greene I learned about the space programs of the various nations of the world. The class learned different equations for discovering how many planets are statistically probable to be similar to Earth. We studied numerous types of space travel and spaceship designs that were no longer Top Secret. We researched proposals given to the government to design and develop mining on the Moon during the Presidency of Kennedy. We examined the theories and research done about UFOs that the Professor presented from his lifetime of pursuing UFO information.
Our final assignment was to write a ten-page paper on a Theory of Space Travel to another Earth Type Planet. My Mind and Body were having a duality war. I was battling within myself to search out any of the theories that were mentioned in class. I felt that there were no theories that we studied through which a spaceship could be designed to solve the problem of traveling past the speed of light. My feeling was that any material made by humans would disintegrate at light speeds.
While outside of classes, my interests in the psychic realms had been growing to the point that when I saw a flier at a metaphysical bookstore in Sonoma advertising a Channel who channeled The Nine, I decided to attend. The flier mentioned something about channeling aliens. I thought that I would see what The Nine would say if I asked questions about space travel to other Earth Type Planets.
I planned to drive from Rohnert Park to Sonoma, which is a 20 -30 minute drive through a mountain and country roads to see The Nine. A few nights before the first trip back to the Sonoma bookstore, I had a dream:
A small Black man with a Turban hopped around blowing up objects inside my dreams. He had a strange sense of humor.
When I arrived at the bookstore to hear the channeling, I discovered that the Channel was an Afro-American. This was quite a surprise since I rarely saw Afro-Americans in Sonoma County. In fact, when I first arrived in Sonoma I had never been to any town where there were no Filipinos, Chinese, Africans, and people of other races since I was raised in the North East Bay Area where there were military personnel from every part of the world. I was used to a multiracial culture. In the countrysides of Sonoma County I did not see Afro-Americans anywhere. I had noticed that there were only Caucasian people around me, thus I never would have expected a Channel to be of any other race besides Caucasian descendant. It was a surprise to find that my dream had forecasted that the Channel would be of African descent. That meant that I was getting information from the Future.
After the channeling session, I told the Channel about my dream. He had not mentioned any Black Beings with a turban during his session. He had not described The Nine as entities with personalities and characteristics. I had no idea what they looked like. When I began to describe the Little Black Man with a Turban, the Channel finished my description of him for me. He validated me by telling me that I had dreamt about one of his Spirit Guides, one of The Nine.
This was not the first time I had dreamt about another person's Spirit Guide. I had seen Beings in my head that other people could describe without prompting. But then, I had not yet accepted that. I was still trying to figure out whether people were just telling me what they thought I wanted to hear. If there was a conspiracy to get me to believe what I was seeing and hearing in my head was real, there were a lot of people in it who did not know each other as far as I could see. I really needed a lot of validation and self-testing to come to accept that I was not "just seeing things."
After I drove back that night from the Channeling Session, I went to bed and heard a bunch of voices in my head. I could not get to sleep and the voices would not stop talking to me. They were chatting in my ears all at once. The Channel had been Channeling a Goddess and the voices were telling me, "Don't worship Goddesses!" The voices told me other things that I now cannot recall because they were talking all at once. Maybe there were nine of them? At least, there were several voices. But they did not agree with everything the Channel had said. Or maybe I had misunderstood that the Channel was guiding us to worship Goddesses and they were correcting me? They were adamant that I knew that I was not to "worship any Goddesses." That much was clear. But they did not answer my questions about the "aliens" or "extraterrestrials" that night.
I was worried that I would not be able to pass this class in Astronomy. I could not even start collecting research on it. Other students were telling me about their theories of various sub atomic fuels, yet I was not interested in their ideas. I was running out of time, nevertheless, I was waiting for my Dream Beings to tell me what to write. In the last week I had left to write this paper, I had a dream. I cannot recall the dream but I awoke very early in the morning and did not stop writing until I was done.
My hypothesis was that when Science threw out the Philosophies of Religion they had lost the understanding of an Ancient understanding, or wisdom of Reality. Needless to say, I felt really "weird" about what I was saying in my paper. In some part of it, I told Professor Greene that I knew that he might think I was "weird", but that I did not believe that there was a fuel invented, or a material made, that could be used to travel past the speed of light which would have enough energy and stamina necessary to travel to an Earth Type Planet given the theories presented to us in the class.
I offered an alternative. I explained that I did not know the type of energy which could be used, but that if an alien race had understood space and time travel, then they would also understand an experience of traveling outside their own bodies. I told him that I had these experiences of traveling outside my body since I was a child and that I had no explanation other than they felt real, and that I believed that aliens would have been intelligent enough to learn how to bi-locate through time and space. The fastest and easiest way to travel faster than the speed of light would be to de-materialize and re-materialize in another Planetary or Solar System. This approach would bypass the need to use fuel and materials for a spaceship and therefore would be energy and matter efficient.
I was sure that he was going to fail me. I was very concerned that I might not graduate after having upset Professors of the History, Psychology and Sociology Departments. Now, the Astronomy and Physics Department would think I was a "nut case" too. I felt that I had challenged every department except the Philosophy Department where I was a prolific participant and investigator of new thought. At least there, constant questioning was "normal."
When the day came for our papers to be returned, I was surprised to see that I had received an A with a note saying, "You might be right." My Professor gave me a "weird" look and I tried to ignore it. I did not want to feel awkward and I did not know that later I would come to see Reality as an infinity of parallel dimensions of space, time, and who knows what else. My only option was in an Alternative mode of thinking. As I mentioned before, I chose Alternative Medicine - Ancient Chinese Medicine.
Chapter II
Psychic Surgery, Mediumship, and Hypnosis
The Moon Worshippers and Hermits, including monks and nuns in monasteries, have always preferred night to daylight, the color black to white. Why is that? Well, the Non-physical is easier to distinguish in the soft light of the moon as opposed to the strong visible light of the sun. The black shadows soften or absorb the bright reflective light leaving the soft light. Scientists who have studied Mediums, people who can invoke Spirits so that others can observe them, know that the lighting has everything to do with "capturing" the "authentic" Spirit. Anyone who has studied the history of Mediumship might recall that there have been numerous accounts, testimonials, and scientific research done with Mediums over the past century, and beyond.
Mediumship is unlike Channeling in which the Channel becomes the Host Medium of the Spirits versus Materializing the Spirits in their Non-physical form. Accordingly, a Psychic Surgeon is not merely a Channel though s/he may also be Channeling their own Spirit Guides.
A Medium is a type of human who communicates with Spirits and can help the Spirits to materialize themselves in front of people. This particular experience is one that persons who come to me for Third-Eye Psychic Surgery experience. Often, a recipient of my work will see one or more deceased loved ones who will give them a message, which they will hear and see themselves. I do not have to pay attention unless they need my help and assistance for more healing work. I will mostly be available for their Spirit Guides, who may be deceased loved ones and other Light Beings who will give me instructions to do healing work with the recipient.
Psychics who are trance mediums might ask me: "What is the difference between Psychic Surgery, Mediumship, and Hypnosis?"
Psychic Surgery contains within its practice Mediumship, Channeling and Hypnosis. Parts of all of this knowledge stem from trying to understand the Psyche. The Medium Invokes the Spirit to be sensed by others while the Channel receives the Knowledge through their senses, and the Hypnotist Guides the Recipient to be a Medium and Channel. The Psychic Surgeon is doing all at the same time.
Said another way, for those Scientific Minded Idea-ologist (those ologists who study ideas), a Psychic Surgeon is accessing the Dimensionality beyond Spacial Relationships to access the Dimensions of Materialization and De-materialization also known as Time. Time has been referred to the Fourth Dimension by some Modern Physics. Yet the time I am speaking of is not the hands moving on a clock as most people think of it. Time is a relationship that exists between a Non-physical event becoming a physical event. Thus Time is Eventual, Moving, Shifting, and Changing. Time is not static. Therefore, time is not perceivable, yet its effects are perceivable. The end result of Time is phenomena, anything visible, in matter or Spirit.
Therefore, a Psychic Surgeon is accessing the Dimension of Perception which is Non-Physical, and in a brief period of Time, a Skilled Psychic Surgeon, can alter Material Reality. That is why Ormond McGill called Elutrio Terte a "Fourth Dimensional Surgeon."
As I said before, when the phenomenon of Psychic Surgery was introduced by Harold Sherman, due to the nature of the healing, many Western Scientists traveled to the Philippine Islands in search of Psychic Surgeons. Although most never accepted Psychic Surgery as reality, there have been a few who had the patience and determination to observe, pay careful attention, and even to test the abilities of the Filipino Espiritistas.
In the 1980s, an actress Shirley McClain, wrote books about her personal spiritual experiences. In one of her book, "Going Within27 she introduced the Ilocano Psychic Surgeon Alex Orbito to the general public:
"'It's all right', Alex said. 'You have the Divine Current running in your hand now. Please go ahead, you will learn something new for your own understanding.'
I summoned up my courage, in much the same way you prepare to touch anything unfamiliar. I looked down at my friend. He shrugged his shoulders (he could not feel anything anyway), and with Alex's right hand guiding mine, I put my hand into his abdominal wall. It was a moment that will live with me always. My hand was inside of his abdomen up to my wrist and I felt absolutely nothing physical."
This sense of Nothing, being Nothingness, I call the Primal Mind or State of Being No Thing. This is the State of Mind in which a Gatekeeper of Death and Rebirth must accept as Real and work with the No Thing as the Essence of the Soul. This is the focus of attention my Grandfather Bumatay taught me to Perceive - Some Thing comes from No Thing.
MaClaine continued to say:
"In fact the feeling had a dreamlike quality. It was as though I had plunged my hand into a warm mist. It simply made no logical sense. I tried to comprehend what I was feeling. "This is what it is like for me,' Orbito said, 'I never feel anything physical. The body is only 'thought.' It is only what we imagine it to be. It has not density when the current of Divine is running through it.'"
The experience of a Gatekeeper of Death and Rebirth is that of perceiving the world as a Lucid Dream. However, there is more to the Reality of the Other Side than merely Dreaming. There is both Materializing the Dream and De-materializing the Dream. Those are the stages of Life and Death. The Gatekeeper knows, feels, senses those modes by Divining the Spirit of Creation.
Psychic Surgeons, who had been hidden from the view of the public, were coming into another light, the light of a famous Hollywood actress who was destined to share her experiences with the general public, and bring the Gatekeepers out of the Cave of the Dark Ages and into the Limelight Stage of the World.
Unlike the authors who had explored the Philippines, documented their observations and summarized their theories about Psychic Surgery, Shirley McClain was able to share her insight and experience as a person, a normal albeit famous person. She was not a Scientists or Psychic - at least not professionally. She was a person who had experienced spiritual phenomenon that had changed her views about the nature of reality. And, like anyone else, she risked being thought of as crazy. She risked her reputation and career.
Over the course of civilization, it has been the role of the healers who use psychic abilities to relate with the ones who would, or could, use their psychic abilities if they knew their own capabilities. It might better be stated that psychic awareness are the natural perceptive senses, and that not knowing about them or how to use them is detrimental mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Chapter III
Introduction to Seven Modes
(...) DOLFINA is not interested in Guiding you through the maze of questions that you can concoct. According to my Soul Mission, the Purpose for my Soul work has been to test the realities from the non-solid to the solid dimension in order to gain a perspective from comparison and contrast. Guides who have worked with me throughout my life have given me Mini-Missions to learn on the Other Side while testing my lessons on This Side of Reality. Thus, I was given a set of tasks to accomplish as a Light Being.
These tasks have required me to test the nature of Space and Time. The 7 Modes is a set of teachings that have been abstracted from my Mini-Missions and Sessions with the Beings on the Other Side.
These Modes do not conflict with the metaphors or metalanguage of Ancient religions. Over time, I have been surprised to discover that I can correlate each of the 7 Modes with the phases of initiation into the religious orders as well as the indigenous Spiritual practices of both Animism and Spiritism.
Animism might be described as the nature of objects containing a Spirit while Spiritism might be described as the nature of Spirit to survive corporal death. If these two ideals are true, then it must follow that the Spirit survives death and can inhabit any form. Therefore, the nature of form survives death. This seems to be a paradox. Yet as I described the Astral Body, the Astral can change form, yet the Spirit is not a form itself and hence does not need to be confined by the idea of solid, or non-solid, in order to exist.
A common example of this phenomenon is a magnet and a magnetic field. A magnet can be placed on a piece of paper that has a pile of metal shavings. The shavings will form a pattern around the magnet. This is called a field. This field inhabits the magnet. That may not be the precise scientific description but as far as Animism is concerned, the magnet represents the object whereas the field represents the Soul, and the force that creates the field represents the Spirit.
DOLFINA did not guide me to become a scientist although many teachers in the public school recognized that I had a logical mind. I was guided to understand scientific logic in comparison and contrast with metaphysics. In college, I was led to study metalanguage via Philosophy. This gave me the perspective that the Ancient Philosophers were trying to describe the metaphysics of the psyche via theoretical ideas and concepts.
Just like Alice in Wonderland, I did travel into a tunnel, many tunnels actually. And while I was in those tunnels, I was asking Beings all the Hows, Whys, Wheres, Whens, Whos, and Whatifs that I could imagine while I was on the Other Side. These questions were the basis of outlining the 7 Modes. First, I had been following a trail of insights, dreams, and visions. I was not sure where I was going with all my questioning and the answers that came to and through me. During my college years, I began Story Boarding my Dreams and Visions.
Although I am no artist, my Story Boards came from drawing the scenes from my Inner Visions and plotting them out on paper. That way, I could re-create the Other Side and figure out what I had experienced while I was there. This may have been the same process that the Ancients were practicing while drawing on the Cave walls and later Temple Walls. The Beings or Guides within the dreams and visions are not easy to capture as one captures a photograph or records a moment of audio-visual phenomenon of the electromagnetic spectrum via a camcorder.
The scientists have merely scratched the surface of reality. And they know it. A few hundred years ago, magnetism was not accepted within the emerging sciences until it was described within theories and the forces of it could be controlled. The modern outcome is electricity. Electricity is caused by magnetic force fields contained by non-metallic rubber and channeled through metal wires. The case of electricity preceded the control over the nuclear forces, which in the now, is part of the manufacturing process of electricity.
In our present time, modern religion and modern science are at odds. There are paradoxes that neither can be described nor explained. That is because we need to move past our limits of perception. Some of us will be doing this as a normal part of our lives and will find it normal. Whereas, some people will find that this is strange and weird at first, and will need help. That is why, at this juncture, we need as many Light Bodies working on the Planet to reinforce the transitional phases of Experiencing being a Soul inhabiting a Body.
There is a saying: Timing is Everything. I do not believe every saying I hear, but Timing has been important to Everything involved with this work. All along my path, I have tested my own work, and it was validated via being tested by others. Among many lessons I have learned as a Soul, is that that if I do not know, I will admit I do now know, but if I want to know, I will find out when I ask. I have worked on this manuscript since 1995. And though it has been written and printed in many forms, the Timing was not right to state the things I am writing now because in the then, certain masters, teachers, and guides had to both work with me as well as the public at large. Between now and then, there have been many changes.
Between 1993 and 1994, I was describing the 7 Modes without a title to students at my college. At that time, I was "weird." There were only a few people who actually understood what I was saying. Among them were a Wiccan Priestess, a Sufi Priestess, and one of my Philosophy Professors. Then, when I had written my Astronomy Paper with the Thesis Statement that I could see no theory of energy which could possibly describe space travel between planetary systems, and that the alternative must be de-materialization and re-materialization, I went beyond the edge of the Academic understanding. I was then a real Space Case.
In those years, I felt like a lost Soul. It was my DOLFINA Mission that kept me alive on this planet. I was awakening to my Soul Name, Mission, and Purpose which kept me on a path that has led me to validate my work and network with Light Beings all around the Planet. I have met Light Beings in both the Non-physical and Physical forms who represent Guides and Masters who are amazing Beings. I have seen and heard astonishing stories and witnessed various psychic events.
I know several people who have seen Sai Baba perform his miracles. I know a woman who learned to bend spoons from Uri Gellar. I have met Stanley Krippner whom it was a great pleasure to listen to at his scientific presentation about Stigmata and Materialization. In the now, I work with a scientist whose Soul Mission has been to coordinate the Scientific Testing, Analysis, and Theoretical description of Psi Healing Capabilities of psychics who surpass the scientific explanations of law and order. I have met traditional indigenous leaders and healers of the Quiche Mayans as well as Apprentices of Jaoi, the Brazilian Psychic Surgeon.
The teachings of the Seven Modes have flexed my mind so that when I am at the boundary, or edge of my own belief, I can relax into knowing that my mind is merely transforming through a shift of perception. I would describe Mind as the Matrix of the Soul. This Matrix contains the Dimensions of Mind. Yet the Astral Body, Luminous Light Body, can shift according to the Intent of my Soul Purpose while my Mind shifts perspective.
In my description of the Seven Modes, I refrain from using definitions of words such as Spirit, Soul, and Mind. The essence of this set of teachings are the reference points called Modes. Each Mode refers experiential perception. As you shift your reference point, you shift into another Mode of Perceiving, Sensing, Feeling - Experiencing Reality. This work is about describing the shifts in order to gain the access to the Matrix of the Mind, learn the lessons of the Soul, and open to the Light of the Spirit. The Timing of these Teachings represent the Pivotal Point of entering the New Millennium of Perception.
There is a real purpose to the self-discipline required. The amount of focus and concentration you can develop will reflect your own capability to be aware of your psyche - Soul. The main goal of this work is to support your mapping out of your own cycles of Soul Essence Journeys. Each Mode is designed to guide you through the stages which will open you toward a personal depth of experience. It looks like a rough outline, and it is, but it is the outline of mapping out the Journey of the Soul. Therefore, there is lots of room to add your own notes and additions. The Seven Modes' structure is a part of an ongoing process of completion of the Book of Self Knowledge - yours, mine, and ours.
