Эксперимент по намерению
Не могу спокойно пройти мимо любого источника книг. Сегодня оказалась рядом с большой региональной библиотекой и не могла устоять, чтобы не зайти. Пошла сразу в секцию интересующего меня сейчас предмета - энергетического целительства. Тут же стояла прочая эзотерика, типа ясновидения, спиритизма и т.п.
Заинтересовала книжка The Intention Experiment о научных исследованиях по формированию намерения. Прочитала пока первую сотню страниц. Автор начала очень издалека: квантовая физика, эксперименты с фотонами, "Тайная жизнь растений", психологические эксперименты, исследования йогов и медитирующих, интервью с посетителями духовных центров и т.п. В общем, становится понятно, почему американские книжки такие обескураживающе толстые и в то же время ни о чём: несколько сотен страниц подробного пересказа десятков научных исследований, 70-90 страниц в конце книги на сноски, ссылки, список использованной литературы и индекс, и где-то в серединке несколько десятков страниц непосредственно полезной информации, if any.
Короче, я уже приноровилась большинство таких книжек по диагонали читать, останавливаясь только на том, что мне интересно. И вот началось описание исследований всяких народных целителей, мастеров рейки и т.п. И вот тут самое интересное для меня. В описании того, как они работают, говорится:
Other healers experienced a more profound loss of identity; to carry out their work, they had to be at one with the person they were healing: to become that person, complete with his or her physical and emotional history.

In Krippner's experience, certain personalities are more susceptible to merging identities than others: those who, according to a psychological test, possess "thin boundaries". (...) people with thick boundaries are organized, dependable, defensive, and "well armored", with a sturdy sense of self that remains locked around them like a chain-link fence. People with thin boundaries tend to be open unguarded, and undefended. Sensitive, vulnerable and creative, they tend to get involved quickly in relationships, experience altered states, and easily fit between fantasy and reality. They don't repress uncomfortable thoughts or separated feelings from thoughts. (...) Krippner (..) found that [he could] identify people whose inflexible sense of reality blocked them from perceiving or acknowledging intuitive information. (...) individuals would best perform healing if they were able to block the sense of a threat when they let go of their separatist notions of self.
(...)
No matter what their approach, most of them agreed on a single point: the need to get out of the way. They surrendered to a healing force. They had frames their intention essentially as a request - please may this person be healed - and then stepped back. Then Targ examined those patients whose illness had most improved, and analyzed which healers they had been exposed to, those healers who were the most successful were the "channelers" - the ones who had moved aside to allow the greater force in.
(...)
To Edwards [Harry Edwards, один из целителей, участвовавших в исследовании], the most important act was moving aside, shedding the personal ego, making a conscious attempt to get out of the way. The healers described their experience as a sense of total surrender to a higher being or even to the process. All believed that they were a part of a larger whole. To gain access to the cosmic, nonlocal entity of true consciousness, they had to set aside the limiting boundaries of the self and personal identity, and merge with the higher entity.
(...)
Although the lead up to healing was accomplished through consciously directed thought, the actual healing often was not. In giving a 2-minute treatment, for instance, they might have a minute and a half of rational thought and then a "5-second thing that would be an irrational thing, a space that may be the apex, the key to the whole experience." The most important aspect of the healers' process was undoubtedly their surrender - their willingness to give up their sense of cognitive control of the process and allow themselves to become pure energy.
В общем, становится понятно, при чём тут ящерица и сокол. Чтобы сокол прилетел, я должна быть готова "пожертвовать своим хвостом", снять всю "защиту", будучи уверенной, что это мне не навредит, потому что у меня отрастёт новый хвост. Вот насчёт защиты это мне очень актуально. Я часто вижу подвох там, где его нет, и, даже живя в одном из наиболее безопасных мест, до сих пор в транспорте держу сумку перед собой, никогда свои вещи не оставляю без присмотра, а с людьми общение начинаю очень по-русски - дистанцированно.
