Can three days of MindMasters be summed up in one article? Probably not, we will still try to let you participate in this beautiful experience. What are we talking about? We talk about subtle energies and the possibility of our mind to access profound levels of our self and the Universe. Ultimately, let's talk about magic !
Due to the way it is structured, our mind does not have direct access to these spaces and these manifestations of the One.
We need "stratagems" to enter into this communication, just as diviners or dowsing need wands or pendulums to connect to their subconscious, just as other disciplines use meditations, mantras or rituals.
Grace Bardin and Leonardo Anfolsi Reiyo Ekai welcome us at the end of a complicated meander through the Apennine plateaus between Bologna and Florence, and this already puts me to the test, because as the crow flies the road ahead is short, but the actual road is much longer and more varied. I smile to think that this could be a beautiful metaphor for our life. The right way is never the shortest and most pleasant, but is often full of twists and turns. A slight feeling of nausea is always present, but it is only there to remind you that you are alive.
Access to the structure where the course is held goes beyond the "metaphor", involving us in a small safari, obviously with cars that are not very suitable for the purpose.
Our host is Dagmar, German, who with her husband and son manages the house and the structure. They are a small self-sufficient business, and how nice it is to see grazing animals, a splendid vegetable garden and the new chubby puppy who comes to make friends with all these strange new people!
These days, being able to spend a few days in a pristine environment and with special people has been an invigorating experience. This alone would be enough, but obviously there is the other one, the one for which about fifteen people came from all over the peninsula.
Let's begin. Contrary to a hasty initial impression, the course turned out to be well constructed and solid, with the sequence of gradual and exhaustive lessons and teachings that led us, step by step, towards the final objective. And here you will have noticed that I am prevaricating a bit, talking about the contour and the shape. In fact, I believe it is important to try to convey to you the sensations and impressions received, before delving into the exposition of the course.
I have known Leonardo for some time, as he is also one of my authors. Grace arrived a few years later. Remarkable people in their fields who with their meeting are exploring and practicing even broader horizons, and it is beautiful to witness the multiplication of the parts rather than their sum. Together they create a fun initial confusion which however does not prevent the course and its topics from getting off to a fast start.
It is a first level MindMasters course. This means that we have been given the foundations to literally "build" an inner space where we can operate with the connections of the subconscious and related energies.
As said at the beginning, we need aids, physical or mental, to access these planes, therefore the course was all about progressively building, in steps, these mental tools.
The course led us to define and detail this internal space from which to then operate. I don't want to go into details, this is Grace and Leonardo's job during the seminars.
I just want to tell you about the three group experiments we participated in during the seminar days.
These experiments led us to experience the OBJECTIVE feasibility of having access to these planes and energies.
As a first experiment, we concentrated, with the tools given to us, on a boy, whose name and a few other indications were given to us. He was a boy with some specific problems that we did not know, nor had we ever met him. Everyone, in their own "space" was able to evoke this child, talk to him, get directions, analyze him with one of the "tools" created previously. In conclusion, everyone reported their impressions and considerations, and these, surprisingly, coincided in everyone. We had evidently accessed all together, but each on our own (15 people), to some specific Plan where we received the same information on the unknown boy. All together we then tried to send a healing light to the boy.
The second experiment took place via a mental "television" that we had previously built. We only had one date as a reference: Milan, May 26, 1805. Personally, I was unable to get the television to work well, as it transmitted images of beautiful oriental landscapes, but most of the other participants reported the same views of the event, from various perspectives. In the end many agreed it was Napoleon's coronation. It was the correct indication. Here too there was access (apart from me) to some Plans where everyone correctly visualized the same past event, starting from the time date alone.
The third experiment aimed to make people understand that it is possible to access the Planes and operate even with animals, without the intervention of a conscious mind (in this case of a horse) to interpret or influence. Providential was a beautiful horse of our guests who had some skin problems. An introspection led by Grace made us discover the foal traumas, which the animal still carried with him and which caused the skin problems. This is because animals also have well developed emotional aspects. Grace showed us how, once the causes were identified, a treatment like the one we were practicing actually had an effect.
A beautiful experience, in short, which I can sincerely recommend to all those who are interested in the knowledge of energies and subtle plans, of magic in short.
Personally, the creation of my mental space, which I frequent almost daily, is a source of many intuitions and directions, contacts with energies or entities, all things that I would not have been able to access in other ways. I don't want to go into personal details, but the flexibility of this space and the things that happen in it or the configurations that I can connote to it are of great help for my path and for my inner work. I don't think I have the predisposition to become a healer, as my structure and my brain work for intuitions and questions and explorations, I'm more of an explorer at the moment and I mainly get personal benefits from it. I think it depends on your nature and your goals, but who knows...
