IntroductionThe Hour Is Here
Hello, and welcome to an interesting mind-trip via Playing with a
Full Deck. The generalthesis of the book is that we humans are facing
some very serious challenges now and in the next few years and that
through increase of consciousness, through playing the game of Life
with a full deck, we will be able to mitigate whatever disasters are
coming down the pike.
The phrase increase of consciousness has been around for a
long time and has become a buzz word in some circles. In this book, I
am not relying on buzz definitions of the phrase but upon the latest
word of science. What I have to say in Playing with a Full Deckabout
consciousness, and the raising thereof, is leading edge.
Many old paradigm people, especially those reliant upon theHoly Bible as their guidebook to reality, regard the years 2008 through
2012 (abbreviated in this book to Y2K8-12) as the End Times. If we
look at our present-day world through the spectacles of the old
paradigmers, we see a world in big trouble and we see a future of
disaster piled on disaster, topped with catastrophe. Any evidence to
support this dire expectation? You bet. Lots and lots of evidence.
I have an especially high regard for the wisdom of the ancient
Hopi seers (remote viewers as we say these days). Indeed, I was
inspired by a peace messenger of the Hopi to write a small book
involving the propheciesSacred CircleThe Purification ofEarth and
Reunion of Its Peoples. For many decades, the Hopi elders, the
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
6/149
keepers of the ancient wisdom, have been warning humankind that it
is the 11th hour. Recently, theyve been saying that The hour is here.
If we look at Y2K8-12 through the eyes of advanced new
paradigmers, we see that a lot of de-structuring is taking place (and
much more is coming) and we understand that the de-structuring is a
necessary pre-condition to the birth of a better world. If you are
among these people, you do not view our species as sitting on death
row. You see it as standing at the threshold of a new, mature phase.
The long and turbulent adolescence of our species is coming to an end.
We are about to grow up.
I am a long-time student of paradigms (a so-called intellectual
historian) and a new paradigmer. What is a paradigm? The
intellectual community hasnt quite decided yet. Read the work of
futurist Hazel Henderson, and youll learn that just about everything is
a paradigm; read the work of theologian Ken Wilbur, and youll learn
that paradigms dont exist. I offer a very basic definition: A paradigm
is a fancy word for model. The model may be very simple, such as
three ping pong balls glued together to represent an H2O molecule; or
it may be very complex, a vision of life, such as the vision of liferepresented in the Bible or in Darwins Origin of Species or in the body
of research and writings supporting the holographic theory of universe,
which I refer to in this book as the holo-model.
When I talk paradigms, Im talking life vision paradigms. These
are very, very important; they are the ideological foundations of
societies and civilizations.
The above-expressed idea that humankind is on the verge of
maturity no doubt raises a few eyebrows. How can this Hall guy
possibly believe mankind is on the threshold of maturity?! Look at the
rampant violence afflicting our world, look at the countless signs of the
degradation of our environment, our civilization, our species. I am
fully aware of the many negatives in our explicate (visible) reality.

However, as an intellectual historian, my focus is not upon the
symptoms of malignancy but upon the implicate causesthe ideas
that generate history. History is the playing out of ideas.
The basis of my optimism about mankinds future is my
knowledge that a new and benign scientific life vision is emerging
rapidly. I call this paradigm scientific holism.
Once this new vision, now held by only a few, is planted in common
thought, we may expect the flowering of a new, peaceful and
prosperous world.
The Holo-Model and You
I, like many others, was introduced to the holo-model by
Michael Talbots The Holographic Universe. Additional readings over
the past decade have convinced me that the model is correct. What
the model means, among other things, is you are far greater than you
believe you are. Youve been taught by religion that you are a hapless
sinner. Youve been taught by Darwinists that you are an accidental
tourist on planet Earthand a menace to civilization. You are taught
by the government that you are, when young, a human resource,
and, when old, a serious liability. To the degree you buy into these
definitions, you become, in fact, a hapless sinner, an accidental tourist,
a liability.
I have a different vision of you. I see you as a microcosm of the
universe. You have fantastic potential!
Okay, you say, if thats true, how do I actualize this universal
potential?
Playing with a Full Deckdeals with a great many subjects, but all
are related to the one central issuethe accessing of universal
potential. Ive learned much over my lifetime and Im very pleased to
share it with you.

Half Deck/Full Deck
Until fairly recently, we humans (especially we Westerners) have
been playing the game of Life with half a deck, i.e., were been
operating on separatist philosophies of life. Our monotheistic religion,
for instance, is highly separatistto the extent its based on the
commands of Jehovah rather than the teachings of the Christ. Our
Darwinism-based philosophy of life is equally, if not more, separatist,
as it teaches life is endless struggle, each against all. Dr. Bruce
Liptons summary of Darwinism: Shoot everyone around, and whos
left standing wins.Its only recently that a full-deck philosophy of life, the holo-
model, has emerged in our Western culture. At the moment, its still a
babe in the cradlea babe with a star over its head. It will grow.
After reading a draft of the first few chapters of Playing with a
Full Deck, my son said,
Dad, the science and history are great, but I think youll lose
thousands of potential readers by referring to L. Ron Hubbard and
channeled entities. Cant you just cut out that stuff?
Not really, I replied. As an historian of intellectual culture, I
cant leave out of this book references to major cultural innovations of
the past sixty years. If Im to play my role with a full deck, Ive got to
deal with not only innovations that arrived via normal channels, but
also with those that came by way of non-normal channels. The new
physics, new math (fractal geometry and mathematics) and new
biology arrived via normal channels, I suppose we might say, but new
psychology arose out of the fertile brain of Ron Hubbard and a new
metaphysics, based on the holo-model, arrived through the process of
channeling.
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck

Also, I pointed out that all-important holo-model of universe was
popularized not by the academic community, but by a host of
channeled entities. If the model had been left in the hands of the
academics, it would be today merely a footnote in the intellectual
history of the modern West.
The British novelist D.H. Lawrence once said that the most
exciting thing in life is a thought adventure. So welcome to the
Playing with a Full Deck thought adventure. I found it exciting to
research and write. Along the way I made many discoveries of
importanceincluding the first sensible theory of the pattern of human
history. Heres hoping you find it an exciting read!

Chapter 1
Changing Destiny
The belief that destiny is carved in stone is common among those
with rocks in their heads.
--T.D. Hall
I got a letter yesterday from Dr. John McKenney, an old friend
and colleague from my college teaching days in the Midwest. Ted,
he writes, hope the severe storms out your way didnt affect you too
much. A close friend of forty-five years lost all he had in New Orleans
when the levee broke. If I believed in the End Days ... But Im
certainly more and more concerned with each Science, Discovery,
National Geographic and History Channel presentation of Earthshistory and prospects. Global warming, earth shifts, solar flares,
asteroid hits, supernovas, black holes, etc., etc. Will humankind ever
get over its stubborn refusal to see that were living on the edge?

What those in the know know is that were now entering a
catastrophic period in the history of Earth. I label this period Y2K8-12.
This period may well extend into 15 or 16; but it is my belief that
certain forces of mitigation will come into play in 12 and 13. One of
those forces could be you, if you open yourself to consciousness
increase. This book is designed to help you do just that.
What is consciousness? An important idea I learned from the
new physics is that the universe is resolvable into two processes
intelligence (information) transmission and intelligence processing, or
consciousness. Every living organism is an intelligence processor, i.e.,
has consciousness. More about this in later discussions of Dr. Bruce
Liptons discoveries in the field of cell biology.
The term consciousness is also used widely as a shortened form
of the phrase state of consciousness, as in the expression Christ
consciousness. The work of charting states of consciousness was
begun by the American philosopher-scientist L. Ron Hubbard, who
called his chart the Tone Scale. Independently, Dr. David R.
Hawkins, author of Power vs Force The Hidden Determinants of
Human Behavior(1995), developed a map of consciousness on a scale
from 20 to 1000. At the bottom of the scale (20) is misery
consciousness and at the top (1000) Christ consciousness. Playing
with a Full Deckrelies to a considerable degree on Hawkins Power vs
Force and so I suggest that you read this book and consider it a
companion to the book in hand.
One of the very interesting discoveries made by Hawkins is that
The collective consciousness of mankind remained at 190 for many
centuries and, curiously, only jumped to its current level of 204 within
the last decade (1985 1995). [1] The jump is from Pride to
Courage. Pride is divisive and gives rise to factionalism, Hawkins
writes, Man has habitually died for Pridearmies still regularly
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
14/149
slaughter each other for that aspect of Pride called nationalism.
Religious wars, political terrorism and zealotry, the ghastly history of
the Middle East and Central Europe, are all the price of Pride, which all
of society pays. [2]
At the level of Courage, power first appears. (Power, in
Hawkins terminology is positive, whereas force is negative.)
Courage, he writes, implies the willingness to try new things and
deal with the vicissitudes of life. At this level of empowerment one is
able to cope with and handle effectively the opportunities of life . . .
[3] The mass consciousness has evolved just in time, as it were, as
well have a great many vicissitudes to deal with in Y2K8-12.
The jump from Pride to Courage was coincidental with a
tremendous influx of new empowering information. The day science
begins to study nonphysical phenomena, Nikola Tesla once wrote, it
will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous
centuries of its existence. [4] A hundred years ago, a great many
phenomena could be classified as nonphysical; nowadays it seems
there is a very short list of items fitting this description, consciousness
being one of them.
Not long after Teslas death in 1943, L. Ron Hubbard published
his revolutionary book DianeticsThe Modern Science of Mental
Health, which begins with a call to adventure: Dianetics is an
adventure. It is an exploration into Terra Incognita, the human mind,
that vast and hitherto unknown realm half an inch back of our
foreheads. [5] In the early eighties, I experienced dianetic therapy as
a receiver and as an auditor, and I can assure you that it works. An
adaptation of dianetic therapy called Long Exposure, is currently
being used by some psychologists in the treatment of PTSD post-
traumatic stress disorder. Unfortunately, Hubbards strident attacks on
conventional medicine and psychiatry, and on the government,
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
15/149
resulted in the creation of many powerful enemies. What you resist
persists, he once said, unless you win. Hubbard didnt win.
Hubbard was not terribly good about crediting his sources. The
most important of which was Immanuel Velikovsky (1855-1979), amind scientist of the first order. With his Worlds in Collision (1950) and
Earth in Upheaval (1955), Velikovsky re-animated the moribund
philosophy of catastrophism, which maintains that Earth is periodically
devastated by cataclysms. He argued that memories of these
cataclysms exist in the human mind as engrams (a lasting memory
trace on a cell) and opined there had to be a way to re-activate these
engrams. It was Hubbards greatest achievement to find a way to re-
activate engrams, and to discharge them.
The engram concept served (and serves) well as a working
hypothesis in dianetics therapy, but it was rendered obsolete by a
theory of universe that first appeared in the early seventies and that
now is well on its way to becoming the next orthodoxy the
holographic theory of universe. Memory, according to this theory, is
stored not locally, as in a biological trace or engraving, but non-locally,
meaning everywhere.
The Holo-Model
In his general theory of relativity, writes Michael Talbot,
Einstein astounded the world when he said that space and time are
not separate entities, but are smoothly linked and part of a larger
whole he called the space-time continuum. [David] Bohm takes this
idea a giant step further. He says that despite the apparentseparateness of things at the explicate level, everything is a seamless
extension of everything else, and ultimately even the implicate and
explicate orders blend into each other. [6]
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
16/149
Talbot continues: Bohm cautions that this does not mean the
universe is a giant undifferentiated mass. Things can be part of an
undivided whole and still possess their own unique qualities. To
illustrate what he means he points to the little eddies and whirlpools
that often form in a river. At a glance such eddies appear to be
separate things and possess many individual characteristics But
careful scrutiny reveals that it is impossible to determine where any
given whirlpool ends and the river begins. [7]
According to the theory, the universe, including both the
implicate and explicate orders, are organized holographically, i.e., the
memory of the system called universe is in every point. Talbot
compares the universe to a strip of holographic film: Saying that
every part of a piece of holographic film contains all the information
possessed by the whole is really just another way of saying that the
information is distributed non-locally. [8]
Talbot cites Bohms Wholeness and the Implicate Orderas the
pioneer work on the holographic theory: The more he thought about it
the more convinced he became that the universe actually employed
holographic principles in the operation, was itself a kind of giant,
flowing hologram He published his first papers on his holographic
view of the universe in the early 1970s and in 1980 he presented a
mature distillation of his thoughts in a book entitled Wholeness and
the Implicate Order. In it he did more than just link his myriad ideas
together. He transfigured them into a new way of looking at reality
that was as breathtaking as it was radical. [9]
Coincidental with the emergence of the holographic theory of
universe was the discovery of fractal geometry and mathematics
(Benoit Mandelbrot). Traditional geometry is a geometry of whole
integers, fractal geometry the geometry of fractional space. Fractal
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
17/149
geometry is an indispensable tool in validating the holo-model. More
about this important geometry down the line.
Changing Destiny
We started this chapter with a letter from an old friend. Lets
end it with my reply to that letter .
Dear John,
Thanks so much for your letter. No, we were not terribly
inconvenienced by the unprecedented rainstorm hitting Western
Washington. Lots of others were, however. North Seattle was flooded
and many had to be evacuated by boats and helicopters. To the
south, I-5, the major north-south corridor on the West coast, was
flooded at Chehalis. Under ten feet of water!
End of times? For sure many signs are pointing in that direction.
At the same time, other signs are pointing in another direction! What I
know for certain is that our beliefs, our belief systems, are the
templates on which so-called reality is based. What we believe is
what we receive. As thats the case, we humans have the ability to
change our destiny, by changing the template or templates on which
the collective consciousness is based.
Peace,
Ted

The collective level of consciousness of mankind remained at 190 for
many centuries and, curiously, only jumped to its current level of 204
within the last decade.
David R. Hawkins
We are now looking in the face of destiny that is not at all
attractive. Indeed, if we were at a lower consciousness level, our doom
would be sealed. We exist now at the courage level of existence
(200-249). At levels lower than 200, Hawkins writes, the world is seen
as hopeless, sad, frightening, or frustrating, but at the level of
courage, true empowerment begins. Obstacles which defeat peoplewhose consciousness is below 200 act as stimulants to those who have
evolved into the first level of power. [1]
The next level were evolving toward is neutrality, which is
termed neutral because it is epitomized by release from the
positionality which typifies lower levels. Below 250 consciousness
tends to see dichotomies and take on rigid positions, an impediment in
a world which is complex and multifactoral rather than black orwhite.[2]
Collective evolution, it should be understood, is the product of
personal evolution. Individuals are the pioneers; the collective-minded
are the settlers.
Here is a reality-shaping tool Ive found useful in my personal
evolution: Regard whatever you encounter in life as neutral rather
than good or bad or whatever. By doing this, you short-circuit your
tendency to pre-judge. (We all have this tendency.) You allow yourself
a few precious moments (before prejudice kicks in) to look at situations
with new eyes and perhaps to perceive positive values you ordinarily
would have missed. I am not suggesting you condone that which is
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
21/149
clearly negative, only that you suspend judgment long enough to allow
yourself an expanded view. The more positive values you see in life,
the lighter your mind and heart.
Use this tool and you may soon find yourself at 250. Whenenough of us reach 250, well see the dawn of a new Age of Reason.
Rising above barriers or oppositions which dissipate ones energies,
the neutral condition allows for flexibility and non-judgmental realistic
appraisal of problems. [3]
The Death of Death
Perhaps the greatest obstacle to freethinking, level 250+
thinking, is fear of death. The fear of death has been with us for a
long, long time. Another great obstacle is a belief that emerged in
recent times the belief that we are the puppets of our genes. This
belief, genetic determinism it is called, is a product of our current
orthodoxy in biology, neo-Darwinism.
Im pleased to report that both the belief we die and the belief
we are genetically determined are going bye-bye. The scientist who
has given the boot to these beliefs is Dr. Bruce H. Lipton, author of the
much-acclaimed The Biology of Belief Unleashing the Power of
Consciousness, Matter and Miracles (2005).
In 1985, Lipton was living in a rented house on the island of
Grenada while teaching at a medical school. Early one morning, 2 A.M.
to be exact, he was reviewing notes on the mechanics of the cell
membranes information processing capability when he was struck by
lightning (of the cognitive kind). In the flash, he saw that a biological
cell is the structural and functional equivalent of a computer chip.
Lipton describes this important, nay awesome, discovery thusly:
I sat back and reviewed my new description of the membrane:
The membrane is a liquid crystal semiconductor with gates and
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
22/149
channels. What hit me right away was the fact that I had
recently heard or read the very same phrase, though at the
moment, I didnt know where I had come across it. One thing
was for sure; it was not in the context of biological science.
As I leaned back in my chair, my attention was drawn to the
corner of my desk where my new, smiley-face Macintosh, my
first computer, was parked. Lying beside the computer was a
copy of a bright red book called Understanding Your
Microprocessor. I had just bought this non-technical paperback
guide to how computers work from a Radio Shack outlet. I
grabbed the book and found in the introduction a definition of a
computer chip that read: A chip is a crystal semiconductor with
gates and channels.
For the first second or two I was struck by the fact that the chip
and cell membrane shared the same technical definition. I spent
several more intense seconds comparing and contrasting
biomembranes with silicon semiconductors. I was momentarily
stunned when I realized that the identical nature of their
definitions was not a coincidence. The cell membrane was
indeed a structural and functional equivalent (homologue) of asilicon chip! [4]
Liptons discovery was later confirmed by an Australian consortium of
scientists who succeeded in turning a cell membrane into a digital
readout computer chip. A detailed technical explanation of the
equivalency may be found in Liptons Biology of Beliefand in a superb
set of Lipton CDs called The Wisdom of Your Cells How Your Beliefs
Control Your Biology.
This discovery led Lipton, in short order, to the understanding
that the human body is a fantastic supercomputer composed of
trillions of linked cell-microprocessors. Lipton refers to us as
biological terrestrial exploration vehicles. [5]
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
23/149
The question arises: As the bodys a supercomputer, who or
what is operating it? The realyou, Lipton replies. Who you really
are isnt in the computer, but rather in the environment.
To illustrate his view metaphysically, Lipton compares thehuman body to an ordinary transceiver called a radio. Who you
really are is not the radio, but the broadcast station to which the radio
is tuned. Does the destruction of a radio impact the broadcast station?
No, not at all. The broadcast station continues to send out signals.
Those signals may be received by anyradio tuned to the station. To
update a Civil War-era song, John Browns radio lies moldering in the
grave but his broadcast station goes playing on!
All that Earth catastrophes can do is destroy a great many
radios. This is a good thing to know. We can relax a bit.
Genetic Determinism
Now, as to the belief that our genes are the determiners of our
reality.
Lets get a bit technical. The cells a microcomputer, and the
keyboard for this computer is in the cellular membrane. The keys are
called receptors.
Receptors may be visualized as micro-antennas. Each antenna
is uniquely shaped and tuned to pick up a specific signal.
Signal reception, whether through molecular coupling or via
vibratory resonant energies, induces a conformational change in thereceptor, which activates a connected effector. The job of the
effector is, metaphorically, to gather in that which the receiver
receives. Together, the receptor and the connected effector form a
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
24/149
hunter-gatherer team. The technical name for the team is integral
membrane protein complex, or, for short, IMP complex.
The multitude of IMP complexes in the membrane constitute the
cells nervous system, which I prefer to call the intelligence system. Asthe nervous (intelligence) system is synonymous with brain, we may
conclude, along with Lipton, that the brain is in themembrane.
In contrast, orthodox biology maintains, against good evidence
to the contrary, that the brain of the cell is in the genome, home of the
genes. As Lipton points out, the inadequacy of the orthodox model is
demonstrated in a simple experiment that has been performed many
times. The genome is in the nucleus of the cell. When a cell isenucleated (has the nucleus removed), the cell continues to exhibit
normal behavior.
If the genome was the brain, the cell would simply die.
However, if the receptors on the surface of the cell membrane are
shaved off, the cell goes comatosejust what wed expect if the brain
was in the membrane.
Are orthodox biologists ignorant? Yes. They ignore an entire
range of scientific findings that conflict with their many doctrines. Are
they stupid? No. Self-servingyes, stupid no. Like most professionals
in other fields, they have simply decided that its more in their interest
to spend their thought-lives within the box of orthodoxy than to
venture forth into the unknown seeking truths greater than those the
orthodoxy has to offer. As John D. Rockefeller once said, Pioneering
doesnt pay.
Based on his experience of academia, the Native American
scholar Vine Deloria Jr. had this to say about academics:
Academics, and they include anyone we think of as scientists
except people who work in commercial labs, are incredibly timid
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
25/149
people. Many of them are intent primarily on maintaining their status
within the university and profession and consequently they resemble
nothing so much as cocker spaniels who are eager to please their
masters, the masters in this case being the vaguely defined academic
profession. Scholars, and again I include scientists, are generally
specialists in their field and are wholly ignorant [italics mine] of
developments outside their field. [5]
For those of us wanting to keep body and soul together through
Y2K8-12 and beyond, self-serving scientists are of no value. We,
individually and collectively, need to get to level 250 (at least), and
getting there requires that we follow the guidance of those who have
gotten there already the pioneer independent scientists and
freethinkers.

The Mother Earth Hypothesis, Gaia Theory& The Mission of Man
The major difference between American Indian views of the physical
world and Western sciences
lies in the premise accepted by Indians and rejected by scientists:the world in which we live is alive.
Vine Deloria, Jr.
Dr. Bruce Liptons realization that the biological cell and
computer chip are structural and functional equivalents was not his
only major discovery. Another discovery in the early eighties is equally
momentous, and to understand it, you need to know a little something
about fractals.
The term fractal is short for fractional. Before 1975, we had only
a geometry of whole numbers Euclidian geometry. In 1975, the
French mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot outlined a geometry of
fractional space, which he called fractal geometry.
Fractal mathematics is comprised of simple formulas by which
conversions are made fractal to fractal. The seemingly infinite
complexity of the Mandelbrot set is based on the simple formula Z
Z2+C. Take a number, multiply it by itself, and add the original
number. [1]
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
27/149
Fractal mathematics is the math by which we do computer
modeling; it is also this math by which physical reality is modeled. If
you were to take photographs of the same ragged coastline from a
position just three feet off the ground, from a blimp, and from a
satellite, the photographs would show the very same contours!
Indeed, everywhere we look in physical reality, we find fractalic
structure. Your body, for instance. A decade after Mandelbrot
published his physiological speculations, writes James Gleick,
theoretical biologists began to find fractal organization controlling
structures all through the body. The standard exponential description
of bronchial branching proved to be quite wrong; a fractal description
turned out to fit the data. The urinary collecting system proved fractal.
The binary duct in the liver. The network of special fibers in the heart
that carry pulses of electric current to the contracting muscles . [2]
Today, the fractal approach is being used to better understand every
part of the body.
An article in a March 2007 issue of New Scientist reports that a
small group of researchers has discovered that the universe itself is
fractalic: Cosmology is founded on the assumption that when you
look at the universe at the vastest scales, matter is spread more or
less evenly throughout space. Cosmologists call this a smooth
structure. But a small band of researchers, led by the statistical
physicist Luciano Pietronero of the University of Rome and the Institute
of Complex Systems, Italy, argues that this assumption is at odds with
what we can see. Instead they claim that the galaxies form a
structure that isnt smooth at all: Some parts of it have lots of matter,
others dont, but the matter always falls into the same patterns, in
large and small versions, at whatever scale you look. In other words,
the universe is fractal. [3]

The year is 1983. Dr. Bruce Lipton is in his lab. Through an
electron microscope he examines a single cell organism. A familiar
fact crosses his mind: The single cell has all the physiologic systems
that a human body has. No sooner does this fact complete its crossing
than Dr. Lipton has a very remarkable realization:
The cell is a fractal of the human body!
I asked Lipton is 94, Might we not say that planet Earth is
another fractal in this set? His answer wasyes.
The fractals were most familiar with are two- and three-
dimensional. Examples: The ripples formed after a pebble is thrown in
a pond (two-dimensional); the rings of an onion (three-dimensional).
Formula for such fractals: Same shape, different magnitudes.
Fractals have what is called self-similarity. What Lipton
perceived is that principle of self-similarity could be observed in the
case ofwhole organisms. Fractals in a whole-organism set might be
defined in these terms: Same basic bio-system, different levels of
complexity.
What Liptons insight leads to, among other things, is a proof of
the hypothesis long held by Native Americans, that the Earth is
sentient. Mother Earth. How do I reach this conclusion? Simple. It
is axiomatic that if we ascribe this or that characteristic to any one
fractal in a set, we would have to ascribe the same characteristic to
other fractals in the set. Do we regard an individual, yourself for
instance, as sentient? Yes, of course. Then we would have to
ascribe the same quality to Earth. Native American intuitive science
was right all along. Earth is alive sentient.
Credit for the Western science discovery that Earth is singular
and sentient goes to Dr. Lipton.

What about Dr. James Lovelock? you ask. Hasnt a proof of
the hypothesis that the Earth is singular and sentient already been
offered by Lovelock and other proponents of the Gaia theory?
No. The proponents of the Gaia hypothesis, Drs. Lovelock andLynn Margulis, denythat the Earth is sentient. Allow me to provide a
little background on that denial.
Gaia Theory
In 1979, British scientist James Lovelock published Gaia A
New Look at Life on Earth, a book arguing the thesis that planet Earth
is a single organism. Journeys into space, he writes, did more than
present the Earth in a new perspective. They also sent back
information about its atmosphere and surface, which provided a new
insight into the interactions between the living and the inorganic parts
of the planet. From this has arisen the hypothesis, the model, in which
Earths living matter, air, oceans, and land surface form a complex
system which can be seen as a single organism. [4] Lovelock called
this hypothetical single organism Gaia.
The birth of Lovelocks Gaia hypothesis was applauded by
certain Native American whites-watchers and kindred souls, but
(surprise, surprise) condemned by establishment biologists. Gaia was
condemned as teleological [implying sentience] by my peers and the
journals, Nature and Science, would not publish papers on the
subject. [5]
To the condemnation of his peers, Lovelock added a stopper of
his own: Ancient belief and modern knowledge have fused in the awe
with which astronauts with their own eyes and we by indirect vision
have seen the Earth revealed in all its shining beauty against the deep
darkness of space. Yet this feeling, however strong, does not prove
that Mother Earth lives [i.e., is sentient]. Like a religious belief, it [the
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
30/149
Gaia hypothesis] is untestable and therefore incapable in its own
context of further rationalization. [6]
Thus Lovelock denied planetary sentience, even though the
name he gave his model and aspects of the model itself (i.e., livingmatter) strongly imply sentience. To this day, the proponents of the
Gaia theory (as it is now called) deny sentience.
The Mission of Man
If the planet is one organism, and it is, what is the function of
humanity within that organism? Im talking here of the physiological
function or mission of man.
Humans, I once asked Lipton, are the planetary equivalents of
what on the cellular level? Without hesitation, he replied: IMPs.
Humans are the planetary equivalents of integral membrane proteins.
At the cellular level, the IMP network constitutes the
nervous/intelligence system of the cell. One has only to read the
wonderful book The Secret Life of Plants to understand that everything
biological has intelligence processing capability. Green plants, for
instance. Without green plants we would neither breathe nor eat. On
the under surface of every leaf a million movable lips are engaged in
devouring carbon dioxide and expelling oxygen. All together, 25
million square miles of leaf surface are daily engaged in this miracle of
photosynthesis, producing oxygen and food for man and beast. [7]
Supposing that we humans are IMPs, what is our particular IMP-
job?
Contemplating that question one evening, I recalled a
conversation I had with Lipton concerning the immune cell. In that
conversation, he referred to the immune cell as the cell of evolution,
the only cell with the mission of knowing the unknown.
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
31/149
The immune system is the Homeland Security of the body. The
work of the immune cell agent is quite interesting. It checks out all
newcomer organisms that it encounters along the way, and somehow
distinguishes between helpful and harmful. The helpful are allowed to
continue on their way and the harmful are arrested literally. The
immune cell envelops the antigen, as a glove over the hand, which
allows the immune cell to learn the precise configuration of the
antigen. The immune cell then orders up the creation of antibodies
having the exact structure needed to envelop and immobilize all the
antigens comrades. The immune cell is quite an ingenious cell,
wouldnt you say?
Why is the immune cell called by Lipton the cell of evolution?
It is the only cell having the ability to cause the creation of novel
organisms (antibodies).
Now the immune system is a subsection of the
nervous/intelligence system, and so Liptons remarks led me,
ultimately, to the insight that humanity is the planetary equivalent of
the immune system. Our physiologic mission, as human-IMPs, is to
immobilize that which is harmful to our greater organism, Earth, and to
allow/encourage that which is helpful.
When you have the opportunity, review some Native American
explanations of the red mans opposition to the European invasion of
their homelands. The opposition was rooted, youll find, in the red
mans deeply felt obligation to protect Mother Earth.
And now a big question: what name do we give to that conditionwherein an immune system attacks itself? Right, its called AIDS, auto-
immune disease syndrome. The mentality behind modern war, which
has the objective of destroying populations, is, I submit, a principal
cause of the current planet-AIDS horror.

32/149
As Mother Earth has AIDS, and knows it, what can we expect her
to do? Shell do what any of us would do if we were afflicted with AIDS
shell cleanse her body.
On a More Hopeful Note
Behind planet-AIDS are certain wrong-headed human beliefs,
especially the belief that over-population is the big problem on this
planet. By replacing this pseudo-scientific belief with a true-science
understanding, we may be able to lessen the need for a catastrophic
Earth cleansing. Consciousness drives biology, not the other way
around, Dr. Lipton has remarked on numerous occasions. Up-grading
consciousness is the key to creating a better world.
If youre a follower of channeled information, or even if youre
not, youll find it interesting that Bashar, a channeled entity from the
future, confirms Liptons point in these terms: Consciousness does
not exist inside of you, you exist within consciousness. And then
theres Ramtha, an equally interesting channeled entity who has
taught for over twenty-five years that consciousness and energy
create the nature of reality.
Consciousness and energy create the nature of reality.
This is very good news. If we dont like a reality in which we find
ourselves, we can change it. We have the power. All we have to do is
create a higher consciousness and from that will issue a preferable
reality.
Okay, you say, but how do I do it? That is the subject of the
rest of this book raising the individual consciousness and the
collective consciousness.

Chapter 4
Higher Self for Dummies
We sit on a diamond mountain, but our pockets are filled with
pebbles.
--Attila Josef
Chapter two of this book presented the concept that your body is
a supercomputer. This may have been news to you. It would not be
news to certain wise ones of the past, who intuitively grasped the fact
that the human computer has a fantastic information
acquisition/processing capability. Witness, for instance, the following
Zen koan:
Open Your Own Treasure House
Daiju visited the master Baso in China. Baso asked: What do you
seek?
Enlightenment, replied Daiju.
You have your own treasure house. Why do you search outside?
Baso asked.
Daiju inquired: Where is my treasure house?
Baso answered: What you are asking is your treasure house.
Daiju was enlightened! Ever after he urged his friends: Open your
own treasure house
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
34/149
and use those treasures.[1]
Ask, and you shall receive. This biblical aphorism makes the
same point as the koan. Asking is the key to opening the treasure
house of knowledge.
The koan and aphorism raise a question: Where are the
answers coming from? The treasure house, to be sure, but thats a
metaphor. What does the metaphor represent?
The ultimate answer is the universe. As the universe is
holographic, all information is available at any point in the universe.
Are you a point in universe? Yes. No doubt about it. Though you
probably dont realize it, youre a walking universal library. Its 11:59
p.m. Do you know where your library card is?
The idea that we are in fact universal libraries is validated by the
work of Dr. David Hawkins in Power vs Force. In the practice of
kinesthesiology, Hawkins found an effective way of circumventing not-
knowingness and accessing knowingness.
Whats not-knowingness? The highest human ability, L. Ron
Hubbard once said, is to know, and the second highest ability is to not
know.
Hubbard was very precise in his terminology. When he said that
not-knowing is an ability, he meant it. Knowingness, I would suggest,
is native-state; not-knowingness is an effect of the reduction of native-
state consciousness to social consciousness.
Understand the above, and certain enigmatic remarks of Jesus
the Christ, such as ye are gods, cease being quite so enigmatic. The
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
35/149
Christ was talking about our native-state selves, not about our Howdy
Doody selves.
The Christ and his message were very popular among the
multitude of humans who were sick and tired of living in the HowdyDoody reality, and very unpopular among the authorities, who never
like competition, and among the few who were making a good living
out of exploiting the sick-and-tired multitudes.
It should come as no surprise that when it came time to create
an authoritative holy bible by cutting and pasting elements from
various and sundry accounts of the life and teachings of the Christ,
numerous important scriptures, such as the teachings recorded in theSophia, were totally ignored. Authoritative bibles are compiled, of
course, by the Authorities, and the first item on the to-do list of all
authorities is Suppress any possible challengers of our authority. [2]
The greatest disaster afflicting western religion, Hawkins
determined, resulted from marginalization of the Christ teachings that
occurred in the creation of the Bible.
The fall of Christianity from calibrated 930 to 498 must be
recognized as the single greatest catastrophe in the history of western
religion. Here we can see the origin of the spiritual divorce from the
actual teachings of Jesus Christ that allowed the later atrocities of the
Crusades and the Inquisition. A recurrent question in speculation
about the historicdecline of Christianity centers around the inclusion of
the relatively weak (475) Old Testament in the canon of Christian
scripture. What, really, does the eye-for-an-eye ethic of the prophetshave to do with Christs exhortation to universal love and forgiveness?
It has rightly been asked why, if Jesus came to teach the Old
Testament, need he have bothered coming at all? [3]

The Lipton Model and A Future Science Model
Recall the Liptonyou/real you model that was discussed earlier.
This is our best leading-edge scientific model at present. The human
body is a fantastic supercomputer, a terrestrial exploration vehicle.Who you really are isnt in your computer-body, but in the
environment.
Further, Lipton likens the human body to a radio transceiver and
the real you to the broadcast station to which the radio is tuned.
Can we tune our radio to broadcast stations other than the one
were normally tuned to? Yes, and the channeling phenomenon offers
a proof.
For over twenty years, this freethinker has been following the
transmissions of two channeled entities in particular Bashar and
Ramtha. The transmissions of both, which contain a wealth of
scientific and technical information, date from the late seventies. The
two channels, Darryl Anka (Bashar) and JZ Knight (Ramtha), continue
to channel at the present time.
Bashar, whose name means messenger, describes himself as a
member of a future race, the Essassani, that is a product of a
human/Zeta hybridization project that has been going on for some
time. He thus looks upon Homo sapiens as one of his ancestral races.
In a recent session, titled Permission Slips, Bashar praises the
film The Secret as a great break-through event in the new
consciousness movement and the evolution of our species. Bashar
goes on to present a future science version of the Lipton you/real you
model. Like the Lipton model, the Bashar model recognizes a
separation between you and real you. The former Bashar terms
physical expression and personality construct; the latter he terms
higher self.
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
37/149
The job of the physical expression is simply to receive and
perceive, Bashar says. The human brain, he continues, is not
designed to understand how things happen or will happen, only how
things happened. Higher self does all the original thinking.
In other words, you, as a body, are one part of a two-part
invention, the other part being higher self, your personal intelligent
designer. The total you is the combo, the dynamic duo.
Bashar compares physical self to someone slogging along in a
valley and higher self to one standing on a mountain top, with a very
clear view of the valley. The slogger transmits data to the
mountaintop guy, who in turn transmits directions to the slogger goright, go left, theres a bog coming up, dont try to walk through it,
etc.
Consciousness evolution will be accelerated, Bashar suggests,
when we valley sloggers stop trying to think everything out, plan
every step of the way. No thinking necessary, Bashar says; let higher
self to the thinking. Thats your higher selfs job. All we sloggers have
to do is ask. Say what it is we want, then listen attentively to thesuggestions and directions transmitted by higher self. And then, follow
through.. Act upon the suggestions and directions.
Many intellectuals think Descartes got it all wrong when he said,
I think, therefore I am. Maybe he got it right. I (higher self) think,
therefore I (physical self) am.
Incidentally, both the Lipton and Bashar models are pre-dated by
a similar model developed by Ron Hubbard. The human body Hubbard
called the genetic entity; that which animates and sustains the body
he called the thetan, which means thought. You, Hubbard insisted,
are not your body. Had the Hubbard model gained popularity, then, in
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
38/149
all likelihood, Bashar would be talking in terms of GEs (genetic entities)
and thetans, rather than in terms of higher selves, etc.
As the Hubbard, Lipton and Bashar models are unfamiliar to most
people, lets consider the models in a familiar framework.
Every thing that is, no exceptions, is a system or part of a
system. A system has by definition four parts: inputs, processing,
memory and outputs.
The human body is a system, a system for experiencing directly
the reality we call life on Earth. Inputs: According to Hubbard, our
bodies have fifty-two perceptic channels, not just five. Our bodies are
also designed to process received information, and we do so on a
continuous basis.
Memory: The memory of the system is called by the religious
and spiritual people the soul, or Book of Life. In my view, one of
Hubbards key discoveries is the fact that our bodies contain an
absolutely complete record of our experiences on Earth, in this life and
in former lives. At present, we do not have a scientific term for this
personal life experience data bank. In other writings, Ive suggested
the term holodex, but this has yet to catch on.
What about outputs? We output processed data that streams to
higher self. Where does identity come from? Lipton asks. His
answer: Apparently, it is a unique signal from the field read by our
self-receptors. Importantly, this communication is a two-way street;
signals are not just coming into the cells our experiential awareness
is sent back to the field and changes the source [higher self]. [4]
Higher self, thetan, Spirit, Houston call it what you will it
needs us. Without us per-ceiving entities, the con-ceiving higher self
can no more directly experience life on Earth than we per-ceiving
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
39/149
entities can explore the surfaces of the moon and Mars without
reliance upon highly complex computerized robots.
Without direct experience, there can be no increased awareness;
without increased awareness, there can be no increase of wisdom;without ever-increasing wisdom, there is no evolution. And evolution,
as youll soon learn if you dont know already, is the name of the game
in our universe.
Whats Buffalo Bill without Howdy Doody? Out of a job.
Chapter 5
Secret of The Secret
As we stand at the end of the drama of man, we take off our masks,
behold the I Am.
--T.D. Hall
The great secret in The Secret is that individuals have it in
their power to get what they desire by simply asking. The biblical
aphorism Ask and you shall receive turns out to be valid. How does
one ask? Prayer is one way. The way recommended by many
interviewed in the film is a little different. The Secret way is to draw
a symbol or picture of what it is you want and then attach this to a
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
40/149
vision board. Contemplate the symbol/picture on a daily basis, and
then wait patiently for the universe to deliver the desired thing, or the
means to obtain it.
As might be expected, The Secret outraged the DebunkerCavalry. Have you ever heard of anything so ridiculous?! With
sharpened pens, the debunkers leapt into the saddles of their old
paradigm steeds and made literary war against The Secret in dozens
of magazines and journals, including the once avant-garde Nation.
In old paradigm think, no one gets what he wants in life without
struggle and more struggle, and once one has what he has struggled
so mightily to get, he must struggle to keep it. The life of man onEarth is war, the novelist Henry James tells us. Evolution, Darwin tells
us, is a product, or by-product, of war. Witness the words of Thomas
H. Huxley, aka Darwins bulldog, the man responsible for the wildfire
spread of classical Darwinism in the West: Who has not duly reflected
upon all the consequences of the marvelous struggle for existence
which is daily and hourly going on among living beings? Not only does
every animal live at the expense of some other animal or plant, but the
very plants are at war. The ground is full of seeds that cannot rise into
seedlings; the seedlings rob one another of air, light, and water, the
strongest robber winning the day, and extinguishing his
competitors. [1]
The Darwinian life-is-incessant-struggle doctrine, for such it
became, was extrapolated far beyond the fringe by the contemporary
neo-Darwinist Richard Dawkins, who, in his book The Selfish Gene
compares the genes to Chicago Gangsters. Like successful Chicago
gangsters, our genes have survived in some cases for millions of years,
in a highly competitive world. This entitles us to expect certain
qualities in our genes. I shall argue that a predominant quality to be
expected in a successful gene is ruthless selfishness. [2]
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
41/149
Its a pity we dont have a sharp-witted satirist around these
days the likes of the eighteenth century poet Alexander Pope. Dawkins
and other neo-Darwinists offer plenty of material for a new Dunciad.
New paradigm think, in contrast, is supportive of the Secretmessage. The new paradigm I have in mind is the holo-model of
universe. In a holographic universe, each part (you, for instance)
contains the whole. If you, the microcosm, greatly desire something,
are you, the macrocosm, going to say No?
The Essassani have a very revealing name for what we call
Source: Primal Frequency.
Let us reason: Start with the new physics understanding that
everything in universe is resolvable into frequencies. Further,
everything that is has a specific signature vibration, or frequency. Now
...
Suppose the Essassani are right. What we call Source is a
frequencythe Source frequency. How was it that Source stepped
down its very, very high frequency to generate the infinite number of
things in universe that have lower frequencies? It had to have
intersected with itself. At the point where Source intersected with
Source, a new, lower-frequency domain was createdthe sub-Source
domain. That intersection, by the way, was the original, but far from
the last, Big Bang.
Okay, now we've got sub-Source frequencies that are like unto
Source, but lesser in power. Still, however, we're a long way from the
pebble on the beach. How do we get down to the pebble-level? The
sub-Source frequencies must have done what Source did: They
intersected with themselves, forming an even lower frequency domain.
So it went, on and on, down and down, until the lowest level was
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
42/149
reached, the level called physical reality. Look around. You're in it.
You're a bottom-feeder god, baby.
Paradoxically, the creation of the physical universe was part of a
devolutionary process. Religion-people tend to be steeped in theliterature of devolution, which is one reason they often have problems
with the concept of evolution.
Amazing to note, the frequency-devolution process I've sketched
above was articulated in ancient times, in somewhat different terms of
course. Open your Nag Hammadi Library to page 227. The Lord of
the Universe is not called 'Father' but 'Forefather' ... the beginning of
those that will appear, but he is beginningless Forefather. Seeinghimself within himself in a mirror, he appeared resembling himself ...
And afterward was revealed a whole multitude of confronting
[mirroring], self-begotten ones, equal in age and power, being in glory
[and] without number, whose race is called 'the Generation over Whom
There Is No Kingdom'.... [3]
Ramtha
Enter Ramtha the Enlightened One.
Most Americans have been introduced to Ramtha via the
tabloids, which have labeled him the 35,000-year-old warrior. In
1987, I was introduced to Ramtha, aka the Ram, by a highly respected
physicist who said hed been listening to channeled information for
twenty years and had found the Ramtha transmissions especially
interesting for their scientific content. I was deeply impressed by a
video of a Ramtha dialogue in Hawaii, and five years later, I found
myself sitting in The Great Hall at the RSE (Ramtha School of
Enlightenment) at a beginners event.
About me you should know this: Im a highly educated
freethinker. Im no true believer. Indeed, Im about as inner-
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
43/149
directed as you can get. I love truth, and Ive seen very little of it on
trick planet Earth, where just about everything turns out to be the
opposite of what it professes itself to be. The Christian Church is all
about promulgating the Christ teachings, right? The Vietnam War was
all about containing Red Chinese Communism, right? The Bush
administration is all about defending freedom, right? I think you get
the picture, right? Right.
This old freethinking truth-seeker learned many interesting
things from the Ram, whose main message to man is Behold God.
This is a message weve heard before, right? Jesus the Christ: Ye are
gods.
The Ramtha science teaching most relevant to our present
discussion is this: Each of us has seven bodies within the seven
frequency domains of the electromagnetic light spectrum, those
domains being (from lowest to highest frequency) Hertzian, infrared,
visible light, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray, and infinite unknown. Each
of these domains has a corresponding consciousness, from
subconscious awareness (Hertzian) to ultraconsciousness (infinite
unknown).
A chart correlating the various consciousness/energy levels may
be found in an inexpensive Fireside Series book called Jesus the Christ
The Life of a Master.
Yo, Christians has your priest or minister ever explained how
the Christ was able to create miracles? Ramtha has. The Christ,
Ramtha says, was a master who understood the relationship betweenmind and matter and all that he had to do was to change his mind on
what he saw. He elaborates: Yeshua ben Joseph knew that
however he saw anything is exactly how he agreed for it to be. When
he saw the blind man, the man asked for help. He bent over, picked
up some clay, and he spat in it. What he was doing with the clay and
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
44/149
his spit was creating a new biofield of particle relationship. When he
did this and put it on the blind mans eyes, in molding the clay Yeshua
ben Joseph saw perfect vision. As he was molding the clay, the clay
became the catalyst for perfect vision. When he put the clay on his
[blind mans] eyes, that biofield or morphogenic field reconstructed
immediately the visual nerve supply to the back of the brain and he
saw instantly. [4] Jesus the Christ, Ram says, was considered a
master all the way up to the sixth level, the sixth level being gamma
ray/hyperconsciousness. [new?46]
In my view, most humans are masters of the second level
(infrared/social consciousness). As such, they are in agreement with a
social consensus that denies the primacy of mind over matter, even in
the face of clear demonstrations of that primacy.
In the Christian churches, this denial is reflected in the orthodox
representation of the Christ as saviorrather than as teacher. No one
can do what he did, right? even if he said we could! Jesus was not
like us, right? He was very, very special the one an only son of God,
born of a virgin. Were you born of a virgin? Were you born with a
brilliant star appearing in the sky over the place of your birth? No. Do
you have within yourself the potential of learning to do what the Christ
did? No. Youre not special. You cant be a Christ.
Orthodox biology (neo-Darwinism) is even more adamant than
the churches in denying the Christ doctrine of mind over matter. All
behavior, including consciousness, is an effect of the genes, they
proclaim. Mind comes from matter, in other words. This wrong-headed belief, canonized as the doctrine of the Primacy of the DNA,
has gone unchallenged until fairly recently. Dr. Bruce Lipton has done
an especially good job of tearing it to shreds. Nevertheless, as I write,
numerous scientists who advocate intelligent design (mind over
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
45/149
matter) are suffering academic persecution, i.e., theyre being refused
promotion, grants, tenure, etc.
The orthodoxies in religion and science are not going to help us
at all in confronting and dealing effectively with the Y2K8-12 period.
What can help us? Realization of the god-power within. If its not real
to you that you have such a power, then you wont be able to access
and employ it readily; and so the first step is to make it real, make real
your god within.
One way to start going about this is to read the accounts of
those who have experienced the Presence. Read David Hawkins
Power vs Force and his other books. Read Ramtha's White Book, a
fascinating account of his transformation from grievously wounded
warlord to ascended master.
I myself have no doubt as to the existence of higher selves, in
that Ive had a rather awesome encounter with what I take to be one of
those selves my golden body, the body that belongs to the fifth
plane, superconsciousness, and x-ray frequency. [5]
I had this encounter in 1998 while doing Fieldwork(R) at the RSE.
The official description of Fieldwork(R) is as follows: The students are
taught to create a symbol of something they want to know and
experience and draw it on a paper card. These cards are placed with
the blank side facing out on the fence rails of a large field. The
students blindfold themselves and focus on their symbol, allowing their
body to walk freely to find their card through the application of the lawof consciousness and energy and analogical mind. [6]
Analogical defined: Being analogical means living in the now. It
is the creative moment and is outside of time, past, and the emotions.
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
46/149
[7] The law of consciousness and energy: Consciousness and energy
create the nature of reality. [8]
For me, going analogical involves slipping into a hypnogogic
state of mind, the state we all experience just before falling asleep.
The official description of Fieldwork mentions not the fact that
during any given session, which may last from half an hour to several
hours, one is on the field with anywhere from a hundred to several
hundred other students, meaning one can be jostled out of the
analogical state every five or ten steps. Nevertheless, in my
experience, when you are fully in the analogical state, it is as if you are
alone on the field.
Now, as to my encounter with my golden body.
I had been on the field for about forty minutes, looking for my
cards, one of which had the number 5 on it, which signifies
superconsciousness. The fieldmaster asked us to stop. I did so, for a
moment, and then on command whirled around several times. When I
stopped, I saw in front of me (remember, Im wearing blinders) a
beautiful gold man. I stared intently. His upper body and head were
very vivid, his lower body almost transparent. No hair on the sides or
top of his Nordic head, but a long braid falling over his left shoulder.
Our eyes locked for just a moment, and then he turned his head about
thirty degrees to the right. From his eyes emanated bright lavender
beams. I turned my head to the left, following the beams, and then
Started walking. Within ten seconds I hit the fence. Followingprotocol, I lifted my blinders slightly to turn the card my outstretched
hands had landed on. It was my card the card with the symbol 5!
When students find their cards, they lift their blinders and shout
I found my card! What I shouted was My god found my card!

and my practice of the disciplines have brought down the walls of my
social consciousness skepticism. Standing atop the rubble, I look at life
with new eyes. I see that we were not misled by the Christ when he
said, Ye are gods. We are, indeed.
Out of this awareness, I penned the closing lines of my play
Zuvuya!
As we stand at the end of the drama of man
We take off our masks, behold the I Am
We who are players on the physical plane
Lift up our hearts in a toast to the game
To life! Life everlasting!

Chapter 6
The Prince of Atheism
The Mind is the matrix of all matter.
--Max Planck
In recent years, I have said certain unkind things about Richard
Dawkins, such as Dawkins is an affable and bright neo-Darwinist who
has seen so little of real scientific value because he has stood on the
shoulders of pygmies. Also, I have called Dawkins a sophist, a
sophist being an intellectual who creates elaborate arguments in
support of propositions or theories that are simply not correct.
The God Delusion has opened my eyes to an aspect of Dawkins I
hadnt seen before: He is a very decent man. I like that in him. I
respect it greatly. Nevertheless I have had to conclude that the
argument in the Delusion book is, alas, sophistical. [1]
Richard Dawkins is, and has been since 1995, the Charles
Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford
University. Could a scientist so honored, so prolific, so respected, sobedazzling, possibly be a sophist?
Yes. Years ago, I came to the rather startling conclusion that
Professor Dawkins is a sophist in the course of reading his well-known
book The Selfish Gene. Like successful Chicago gangsters, he writes,
our genes have survived, in some cases for millions
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
52/149
of years, in a highly competitive world. This entitles us to expect
certain qualities in the genes. I shall argue that a predominant quality
to be expected in a successful gene is ruthless selfishness.
This is baseless conjecture, absurdity reminiscent of those
marvelous Beyond the Fringe monologues of years gone by. The
genes are simply patterns for organismal parts. The genome is
definitely not an Al Capone-type bunker; it is merely the New Parts
Blueprints Department of the cell.
Dawkins comparison of the genes to gangsters is an extension
to absurdity of a long- revered doctrine in neo-Darwinism called the
Primacy of the DNA. This doctrine presumes that all organismal
behavior, including consciousness, is a product of the DNA. The
doctrine is wrong.
In fact, the DNA is third, not first, in the creational assembly line.
Primacy belongs to the environment. The DNA is activated by
environment signals (step 1), these signals are mediated by the
receptor/effector network embedded in the cellular membrane (step
2), and the product of that mediation then activates the genes. The
brain of the cell, as Dr. Bruce H. Lipton has demonstrated, beyondany doubt, is in the cellular membrane. It is not, as Darwinists
suppose, in the genome.
It was very difficult for me to believe that a man as bright as
Dawkins didnt know what I, a mere biology watcher, knew. I had to
conclude that he was, quite intentionally, a sophist. No other choice.
The God Delusion suggests clearly the big why behind Dawkins
sophistical mission: Our affable Professor of the Public Understanding
of Science is out to fulfill the prophecy of Thomas H. Huxley, Darwins
famous bulldog, that Science would one day (the sooner the better)
put its foot on the neck of Theology.

Dawkins & Hawkins
My favorite sentence in The God Delusion is that which starts the
second chapter: The God the Old Testament is arguable the most
unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty,unjust, unforgiving control-freak, a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic
cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal,
filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously
malevolent bully. Right on, Richard! Any who think that professor
Dawkins is not correct in his assessment of the god called Jehovah
should open the Holy Bible and read the book ofJoshua. In this book of
horrors, Jehovah orders his chosen people (bad luck for them) to
murder every man, woman and child in ancient Palestineand to kill
all the livestock as well. What the goats and sheep had done to offend
the great Jehovah I cant imagine. The war thus engendered is still
going on!--and now threatens to engulf the entire world in World War
III.
Clearly, at least clearly in my view, the mission of the Christ was
to dethrone, in the minds of men, the God of Terror and to coronate
the God of Love as the true supreme being.
Dawkins is to be congratulated for his clear-eyed assessment of
the god called Jehovah and for his grand multi-adjectival condemnation
of the same. Further, Dawkins is to be congratulated for knocking
theology around a bit. However, the scientist who really succeeded in
stepping on its neck (orthodox Christian theology) is the brilliant David
R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., master of kinesthesiology.
Kinesthesiology, as practiced by Hawkins, is the science ofaccessing the collective consciousness.
The level of truth originally espoused by Jesus Christ, Hawkins
writes, calibrates at 1,000the highest level attainable on this plane.
By the second century, the level of truth of this practice of his teaching
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
54/149
had dropped to 930, and by the sixth century, to 540. By the time of
the Crusades, at the beginning of the 11th century, it had fallen to its
current 498.
Hawkins identifies the most precipitous decline in Christianity as
having occurred in 325 AD, apparently due to spread of
misinterpretations of the [Christ] teachings originating from the
Council of Nicaea.
Christianitys fall from a calibrated 930 to 498, Hawkins
writes, must be recognized as the greatest single catastrophe in the
history of Western religion. Here we can see the origin of the spiritual
divorce from the actual teachings of Jesus Christ that allowed the later
atrocities of the Crusades and the Inquisition.
The God Hypothesis
Alas, most Christians suffer the delusion that Jehovah is
synonymous with the supreme being. Dawkins goes far beyond
attacking this delusion, however; he denounces all conceptualizations
of God.
One of the sophists standard tools-of-the-trade is the straw
man. A straw man is an unsubstantial representation of that which
the sophist wishes to attack. Naturally, the sophist has little difficulty,
if any, in knocking down the straw man. In his chapter titled
Arguments For Gods Existence, Dawkins sets up a number of straw
men, then wittily knocks them down.
Among these straw men is The Argument From Personal
Experience. A very few examples of such experience are offered, all
of which are dismissed as hallucinationsproducts of the minds
simulation software. Conspicuously absent from the discussion are
accounts of those who encountered God in near-death experience
(NDE). One of the best-documented NDE cases involving an encounter
with the Creator is that of a scientist by the name of Mellen-Thomas
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
55/149
Benedict. In 1982, after suffering from a terminal illness, Mellen-
Thomas died for an hour and a half. Miraculously, he returned to his
body with a complete remission of the diseaseafter an encounter
with the Universal Intelligence. [2]
Another scientist who experienced God is the above-cited
David Hawkins. As my final moment [of life] approached, Hawkins
writes in Power vs Force, the thought flashed through my mind, what
if there is a God? So I called out in prayer, If there is a God, I ask Him
to help me now. I surrendered to whatever God there might be, and
went unconscious. When I awoke, a transformation of such enormity
had taken place that I was struck dumb with awe. The world was
illumined by the clarity of an Infinite Oneness, which expressed itself
as all things revealed in their immeasurable beauty and perfection.
For a scientist sincerely interested in exploring the God
hypothesis, accounts such as those offered by Benedict and Hawkins
would have to be taken into consideration. Alas, Dawkins utterly
ignores the testimonies of those who have undergone NDE.
Naughty Richard
Dawkins list of scientists who believe in God is very, very short.
No mention is made of Max Planck, the father of quantum physics, who
has said, All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force. We
must assume behind this force is the existence of a conscious and
intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.
Further, no mention is made of the fact that Alfred Russel
Wallace, the co-founder of Richards favorite doctrine (natural
selection), came in time to the belief that the universe must be
governed by a great Mind. Indeed, naughty Richard quotes, without
correction, the incorrect opinion of physicist Leonard Susskind, who
states, Modern cosmology really began with Darwin and Wallace.

Unlike anyone before them, they provided explanations of our
existence that completely rejected supernatural agents.
For the record: Readers of Darwins tomes will find the old guy
sometimes invokes a sublime Creator. This sublime Creator couldnt
possibly be a supernatural agent, right? Whats more, Darwin
celebrates, in his book on the voyage of the Beagle, the spread of
British-style Christianity throughout the South Pacific. A curious thing
for a non-believer to do.
Dawkins claim that the doctrine of natural selection replaces,
quite satisfactorily, traditional belief in supernatural governance, is
nonsense. The first to make this claim was Thomas Huxley. That the
Darwin-Wallace theory (as Darwinism was first called) took a turn down
Strictly Materialistic Streetwas a result of the fact Huxley was driving
the movement.
The Most Curious Thing
The most curious thing that I found in The God Delusion is the
authors invocation of Darwins original (1859) representation of
natural selection. Unrelentingly and unceasingly, as Darwin
explained, natural selection is daily and hourly scrutinizing,
throughout the world, every variation, even the slightest; rejecting that
which is bad, preserving and adding up all that is good; silently and
insensibly working, whenever opportunity affords, at the improvement
of each organic being.
Mr. Huxley had a problem with Darwins conceptualization, which
is, obviously, an anthropomorphic substitute for the anthropomorphic
divine presence (His eye is on the sparrow); and in his own, widely
read, accounts of Darwinism, he speaks of natural selection as merely
circumstantial selection (the same wind that blows one fledgling out of
the nest merely ruffles the feathers of another).
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
57/149
Darwin himself abandoned his original conceptualization of
natural selection, saying that survival of the fittest was a better term
for what he meant. Dr. Ernst Mayr, the great authority on Darwinism in
the modern period, stated, flatly, Darwin was wrong about natural
selection. Natural selection, Mayr says, means merely elimination of
the weakest.
So why is Dawkins validating a conceptualization that is
considered by all the other Darwinists to be wrong? Is he saying
something he does not actually believe in order to win votes for his
thesis that the doctrine of natural selection is the greatest
consciousness-raising crane ever invented? If so, Dawkins is not just a
sophist, but the ultimate sophist! Or has Dawkins experienced a divine
guidance moment that has allowed him to see that the original
conceptualization of natural selection was, in fact, correct? If so, then
we must welcome Richard to the post-Darwinism evolutionary science
movement.
All Considered
All considered, The God Delusion is an extended polemical
exercise well worth a read. I especially like Dawkins discourse on the
anti-religion sentiments of Thomas Jefferson and other founders of our
secular(thank God) American system of government. As an argument
against religion, the book succeeds to some extent; but as an
argument against the God hypothesis, the book failsutterly.
Concerning that hypothesis, what I would like to say is this: The
universality of belief in a Creator indicates that the belief is archetypal.
What are archetypes? Primary template formulations existing at the
interface between the etheric (implicate) and the physical (explicate)
orders. Unlike Benedict or Hawkins, I have not experienced the etheric
Source of the God archetype. Nevertheless, as a result of study of NDE
accounts and of the pioneering research into the afterlife conducted
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
58/149
by the late Robert Monroe and his associates at the Monroe Institute, I
am quite certain that the etheric Source is not malignant. Quite the
opposite.
Malignancies associated with the God archetype (e.g., the
Inquisition) are, to invoke a sentiment expressed in one of my favorite
popular songs, our own damned fault. They are the product of
human negative thinking. Historically, human consciousness is, as one
of my mentors has said, an embarrassment to the Supreme Being.

Chapter 7
The Manifestation Factory
Opposition is true friendship.
--William Blake
I take the view that each of us is an integrated complex of
seven selves, from the physiologic self to the self existing in the
frequency domain that Ramtha calls infinite unknown, what the Christ
called the The Generation over whom there is no Kingdom. This
means that you have an enormous creative potential. You are,
potentially, a veritable manifestation factory.
The phrase manifestation factory came to me in a dream some
years ago, at a time when Id been out of work for several months and
was hard-pressed to pay my bills. One night when I was feeling very
discouraged, I fell asleep and woke, in dream, driving a nifty red sports
car. I drove no more than a block or two when I spotted this gorgeous
babe standing on a street corner. I stopped, and we started up a
conversation. I was on my way to a party, I said, and asked if shed
like to come along.
She readily agreed, but said she had a little problem. She didnt
have a suitable dress. No problem at all, I said, I know where to get
just the right one. Hop in.
We drove to the Manifestation Factory, just outside of town. I
remembered this establishment as a place one could find anything; but
-
7/30/2019 Ted Hall's Playing....Deck
60/149
when we got there, I was surprised to see that the Factory was shut
down and the gate locked.
I got out of the car, easily broke the lock on the gate, then
walked alongside the seemingly long-abandoned building. Suddenly, awindow opened on the third floor, and an old crone stuck a dust mop
out and shook it.
Say there! I shouted to her. Who owns this place?!
She looked down at me, scowled and said, You do, you idiot!
I awoke laughing. The dream told me that I had shut down my
ability to manifest.
What is it that would cause one to shut down his or her power to
manifest? Answer: the negative ego. In my model of psychology,
ego is native-state self, the state of being prior to social
programming. This state is divine. The negative ego is that which
denies the god-power within.
The negative ego has various sources. The major ones are
discussed below. First, its necessary to understand what life is like for
individuals in whom the influence of the negative ego is minimal.
These individuals are said to lead magical lives. Lola, for instance.
What ever Lola wants, Lola gets. For the Lolas of this world, there is
little in the way of obstacles between the desire and the realization of
the desire. These are people operating, for the most part, on the ego
program; their lives are uninterrupted streams of what is called
synchronicity.
Synchronicityis a word used to describe the occurrence of a
complex of related events in the same time period. Weve all
experienced synchronicity. My, its been a long time since weve
heard from Cousin Marilyn, you think to yourself. The phone rings.

Guess who? Its Cousin Marilyn. Marilyn! you exclaim, I was just

Several years ago, I was looking for certain information
concerning Sir Francis Bacon, information I couldnt find in the locallibrary or on the Net. While en route to Seattle one day, I stopped, on
impulse, at a used books store in Sea-Tac. I made a thorough check of
the sections where one would expect to find a book about Bacon, but
found nothing. Before leaving, I made a quick check of the physical
sciences section. Between two thick books on chemistry was tucked a
staple-bound booklet. Curious, I pulled it out. Much to my surprise, it
was a monograph on the life of Francis Bacon! I purchased it, of
course, and was later further amazed to find that it containedprecisely
the information I was looking for. Talk about synchronicity!
Lets consider synchronicity within the ontological context weve
been developing.
