The way of the Heart
Many of Docs students try to understand his teachings using the Mind. This is completely understandable as one's world view in the 400's is encased in rationality. Yet Doc speaks about the domain of the non-linear, that which is beyond reason. Please consider using your Heart to understand Docs work rather than the Mind. Using the heart to see the world surpasses the Mind's desire and admiration of structure and form. The heart can be experienced as a much higher function of the soul that surpasses "thinkingness". The more we use it the more we can feel the Radiance inherent in all Life. The splendor of the Self reveals itself to our hearts yet it eludes the Mind as it not a structure or a form, rather it is the source of all forms... and the source of the Mind.
The way of the Mind
If you are going to rely on rationality to describe Reality there are at least four knowns which you can verify with your own research... Follow the extensive bibliographies of Docs works and you will most likely discover:
Integrating the way of the Mind and the Heart
Docs works and teachings create an elegant path from where you are now to that place in Spirit that you inherently feel drawn to. Love and Truth are incredibly powerful attractors. You can rely on their strength to pull you. You will find your world-view and self-view shifting towards Love and a Loving-Understanding as you apply Docs teachings. Eventually the Love expressed in your self and world-view becomes a window of perception which sees-feels-experiences the Infinite Love of God expressed in All. The love that flows through you this way is so massive and incalculable that the expression of the Self becomes radiantly obvious. Ultimately you will recognize that the attraction you feel to Truth is Self expressing Attraction-to-Self.
Use consciousness calibration as your compass
Allow the Love of Truth-God to be your primary attractor and allow consciousness calibration to illuminate your pathways. Use calibration, expansive forgiveness, surrender, and deep surrender as taught by Doc. They are vital spiritual tools with profound karmic consequences. Using them regularly pulls you towards the Truth with more Power than a thousands suns. Ultimately the always obvious and always self evident Truth arises to the fore in your subjective experience...
Good luck and Godspeed,
Gloria in Excelsus Deo

RE: U,B-G,D; The selected translations were performed by Eknath Easwaran. There are several translations. Freely select translations that work for you, and-or calibrate them yourself. | ||
RE: Huang Po; Disregard the treatise on the void as our ultimate destination per Doc's instructions (that only calibrates at 850). The information regarding The Mind is enlightening to the spirit and disorienting to the ego-mind. You may not 'understand' what you are reading, but your spirit will grasp every syllable. Please surrender the desire to understand what he's saying and read it anyway. Surrender your fear and continue onward no matter what. Your soul will get it. There were several passages that caused a physical sensation of disequilibrium. It's Okay, the mind is addicted to understanding, but it's unnecessary. Ultimately the full recognition of that which you are will eclipse all thought. You might as well have a taste. :) It's a delicious treat, enjoy! | ||
Calibration Tips
Every experience you encounter will vibrate on the MOC with a specific energy-tone of that level. When you practice calibration seek to “feel” the “tone” in your soul-being rather than practicing calibration to be accurate.
Example: You can calibrate the MOC itself as practice for soul-listening-feeling. For practice you can separate the MOC into large regions; 0-200, 200-499, 500-599, 600+. Why are the 500's in their own region? Because the 500's have a sweetness that is easily distinguished from the other levels. Keeping the 500s separate will assist you with noticing the unique "energy-flavor" that each MOC level has.
As you discover your personal synesthesia experience of the big regions you'll probably want to create a separate region for 400-499. You will encounter a massive amount of people, concepts, and books in the 400s (To me the 400s have a thin metallic sound and a metallic taste which is unique to the 400s as the warm sweetness is unique to the 500s).
Each level of the MOC will unfold as a specific personal experience (if you allow it to do so). Grace will replace thinkingness, judgment, and evaluations with silence when you intentionally surrender mentation about the calibration. Surrender fear and doubt to God and lean into the sensation and experience of Trust. Then witness what you experience as result of that surrender and trust.
Calibration is a non-local phenomena. You and I can not calibrate anything... The Field is what calibrates... We have to get out of the way so the Field can do the work. Using your spiritual will to surrender all thinkingness and emotionality about calibration in that moment of the calibration will create a space where the Field can do what it does effortlessly.
Practice creating the space for the Field to be expressed! Calibrate everything within your awareness and grasp; everything within your physical, mental, and emotional reach. Calibrate the levels on the MOC. Calibrate Doc's quotes, calibrate his books. Calibrate every teaching you encounter. Trust God to guide your path. Trust in the plan God has for your life and your lives! Nothing is random. Its all part of the synchronicity orchestrated by Infinite Power. So many souls trust their doubts and their fears more than they trust the Source of Creation... Calibration wouldn't have been introduced to you if you were not meant to know it. Trust!!!

"Let truth be what it is. Do not intrude upon it, do not attack it, do not interrupt its coming. Let it encompass every situation and bring you peace. Not even faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it enter, and it will call forth and secure for you the faith you need for peace. But rise you not against it, for against your opposition it cannot come."
