The Holosync

Solution ™

AN INTRODUCTION

by Bill Harris, Director

Centerpointe Research Institute

I would like to begin our journey

together by acknowledging and

applauding your search for personal

and spiritual improvement and

growth. My personal belief is that it

is possible for anyone to live a life of

happiness, inner peace, and

outward success, no matter what

their present or past

circumstances.What is more, there

are very real methods anyone can

use to achieve these things—if they

are willing to make the necessary

changes in how they see themselves

and their relationship to the rest of

the world, and take the necessary

actions.

out as the entire, infinite universe.

The very nature of this energy, it is

said, is contentment, love, peace,

happiness, and perfection.

but out in the rest of the world, the

inability to express feelings is in

most cases severely limiting. Since

our brains tend to focus on only one

thing at a time, we tend to only see

those situations and draw into our

lives those people who confirm the

illusion that it is unsafe to openly

express our feelings. Our brain will

always filter reality so as to confirm

that its predominant beliefs and

associations are the truth. No

wonder we don’t see the universe of

love and harmony described by

saints and mystics!

T he totality of this energy, say the

mystics, is who you really are; your

seeming separateness, an illusion.

Saints and sages have for centuries

attempted to describe to humankind

a state of awareness where this

feeling of oneness with everything

in the universe is the predominant

experience. For thousands of years,

curious seekers have responded to

these explanations by asking “If I

am this one, infinite energy, the

beginningless and endless totality

of everything, if I really am Love

itself, then why do I feel so bad?

Why do I have so many problems?

Why don’t I feel the peace and

happiness you say is my true

nature?” And the mystic invariably

would answer, “You do not

experience your true nature because

of your mind. Your mind keeps you

from the experience of what truly

is.”

W e, of course, know today that this

is true—the mind does indeed act as

a filter, coloring our view of reality

just as colored glasses give an

illusory tint to what we see. As we

grow up, our brain is programmed

that some things cause pain and

should be avoided, while others

bring pleasure and should be

sought. Unfortunately, many of

these early associations are true only

in our limited family situations.

Expressing certain feelings may

bring us pain in our family circle,

M ystical explanations of the origin

of the universe shed further light on

this problem. These explanations

state that the one energy of reality,

at the moment of creation, polarized

itself into a seeming duality—good

and evil, male and female, up and

down, here and there and all other

pairs of seeming opposites. This

duality, however, is more apparent

than real. In each pair of opposites,

each part is dependent on the other

for its existence, like two sides of

the same coin. “Cold” is meaningless

without “hot”; “good” makes no

sense without “bad”. According to

the mystical philosophies of the

East, it is the tension between these

pairs of opposites, in your mind,

that actually causes the universe to

manifest.

T his tension between opposites is

also reflected in the human brain.

The brain, divided into two

hemispheres, right and left, has the

same dual structure—made more

acute by the fact that in virtually all

B ecause a sound technology that

creates the same patterns in the brain

The Holosync Solution, let’s begin

by examining the philosophical

roots of meditation. People of all

religions and philosophical points

of view have practiced prayer and

meditation, in one form or another,

for thousands of years. Perhaps in

this ancient wisdom there is

something we can use to guide us,

even today.

A ll traditions of meditation flow

from one premise: that the entire

universe is made of one all-

encompassing energy, intelligent

and aware, existing forever as the

source of everything. Because there

is nothing outside of it, say the

mystics, because of its completeness,

this energy has nothing to get or

need, nothing to fear. Simply

because it is its nature to do so, this

one energy continually spins itself

other is alternately dominant over

the other, depending upon the task

being performed, advanced

meditators seemed to develop the

ability to use their whole brain and

to live in a more balanced state

characterized by brain

synchronization and whole brain

functioning.

meditation. Ironically, alpha is also

a state of increased focus; it is in the

alpha state, for instance, that

learning, including so-called “super

learning,” takes place.

people the two hemispheres are

unbalanced, a state called brain

lateralization. Since the brain filters

our reality in this split-brain way,

we tend to see things in terms of

duality rather than the oneness

spoken of by mystics. If the brain

could somehow learn to operate in

a more coherent, holistic manner, if

the two sides of the brain could

somehow balance, interact more,

and function as one, then possibly

our experience of reality would be

different.

I f synchronization continues, one

next enters a theta brain wave state,

the state of dreaming sleep, or if

alertness is maintained, a deep

meditation. Theta is also the brain

wave state of heightened creativity.

The “ah-ha” experience of suddenly

making a creative connection is

accompanied by bursts of theta

waves in the brain.

I f the brain synchronizes still further

one finally enters the delta brain

wave state, ordinarily a state of

deep, dreamless sleep, but also, if

one can maintain alertness, a state

of extremely deep meditation.

Finally, in the deepest part of the

delta range, the two sides of the

brain become so balanced that any

tension between opposites is

transcended. At this point the

normal conscious mind is bypassed

and the “transcendental” experience

of oneness and harmony with the

entire universe is revealed.

This and other research has

demonstrated that this balancing,

or synchronization, of the

hemispheres of the brain happens

in all forms of meditation. The

degree of hemispheric

synchronization can be very

precisely determined by measuring

the meditator’s brain wave patterns

with an electroencephalograph

(EEG) machine.

W hen the brain is very lateralized

(one hemisphere being very

dominant over the other), the brain

O ur childhood associations and

programming may tell us what to

seek or avoid in order to gain

pleasure or avoid pain, but at an

even deeper level the dual structure

of our brain tells us that we are part

of a world of separation, that we are

somehow separate from and in

opposition to the rest of the world.

The more lateralization in the brain

(in other words, the more tension

between polar opposites) the more

feelings of separation, fear, anxiety,

and isolation. In fact, as we shall

see, only a lateralized brain can

continue to entertain the types of

beliefs that result in dysfunctional

and addictive behaviors and the

painful feelings that accompany

them.

If the two sides of the brain

could somehow learn to

operate in a more holistic

manner, interact more, and

function as one then

perhaps our experience of

reality would be different.

A ny kind of focusing will bring

about a degree of brain

synchronization (i.e. meditation).

The greater the focus, the greater

the synchronization (and the deeper

the meditative state). The mystic,

then, sitting to meditate, balances

the brain through some form of

focusing, whether by repeating a

prayer or mantra, keeping the

attention on the flow of the breath,

staring at a candle flame, or by using

one of many other techniques.

Whatever the technique, the effect

on the brain is substantially the

same—brain synchronization, and

after much practice, transcendental

experience. As the meditator

focuses, he or she moves from a beta

brain wave state into an alpha state.

After many years of disciplined

practice the meditator gains enough

experience to begin accessing the

deeper theta brain wave state (and

with still more practice, the delta

waves are in what is called the beta

range. This is the brain wave

function of normal waking

consciousness characterized by

external attention. At the extremes

of the beta range one feels stressed-

out, uncomfortable, and (literally)

out of sync. Dysfunctional and

addictive behaviors, neurosis, and

feelings of separation—in other

words, all the extremes of duality —

are common experiences when the

brain is in the extremes of the beta

range.

M odern brain research indicates

that long-term meditation does in

fact balance the brain, creating a

synchrony between the two

hemispheres. Many researchers

have studied this phenomenon over

the last twenty years. One such

researcher, Dr. Charles Stroebel,

Ph.D., M.D., director of the Institute

for Advanced Studies in Behavioral

Medicine, performed a series of

experiments on meditators during

the 1970s. He discovered that

electrical brain wave patterns of

meditators changed, in periods of

deep meditation, to a single,

coherent pattern, indicating that

both sides of the brain — ordinarily

out of phase — were working

together in a balanced, synchronous

manner. While in the vast majority

of people one hemisphere or the

I f the brain begins to synchronize, if

the two sides of the brain begin to

communicate more, these

experiences begin to dissipate and

the brain finally moves into an alpha

brain wave state. This is a state of

pre-sleep/pre-waking drowsiness

scan this subconscious data and to a

certain extent re-arrange and

process it. We call this scanning and

processing dreaming, and it is,

indeed, in the theta state that REM

(rapid eye movement) sleep

associated with dreaming occurs.

deep emotional healing and rapid

brain evolution we are interested

in, spontaneously occurs.

Meditators invariably find,

whatever their technique, that the

feeling of peace, well-being, and

super-alertness gained during

meditation fades rather quickly,

often within minutes. This happens

because the belief systems that tell

us we are separate and not okay

immediately begin to reassert

themselves, causing the brain to

return to a less synchronized (and

therefore less expanded) state of

awareness. As the brain re-

lateralizes (one of the two

hemispheres again becoming

dominant over the other) endorphin

production dramatically decreases

and the feeling of well-being fades

with it.

S o just what is this transcendental

awareness? Is it becoming some kind

of a blob of undifferentiated goo

that wants to sit and stare at its

navel instead of going to work in

the morning, or some kind of robed,

smiling person handing out flowers

in the airport? Contrary to common

Western mythology about such

things, persons operating

continually in this type of awareness

(a kind of 24-hour-a-day state of

meditative alertness sometimes

referred to as “the awakened mind”)

are more productive, happier,

capable of more intimacy, more

creativity, and more wholeness.

Since the filter through which they

view reality does not split

everything in to categories based on

arbitrary early life programming,

they see life more objectively,

without fear and judgment, without

a need to manipulate others, without

need for approval—in short,

without the limitations of mental

programming. This is, in fact, a state

of peak performance. And, when

the brain is in this highly

synchronous and coherent state, it

produces large quantities of

pleasure-causing neurochemicals

called endorphins, making the

whole experience very pleasurable!

B etween the stressed-out jangle of

the beta state and the peaceful

depths of delta there is, however,

much territory to be covered and

much healing to be done. As one

moves into the alpha and theta

states, the subconscious portion of

the mind is accessed and becomes

available. This is where the belief

systems that structure our

experience of ourself and and our

universe are stored. We mentally

project this material onto what is,

creating our own private universe

in much the same way that light,

passing through a celluloid image,

projects an image on a movie screen.

When we enter the alpha and theta

brain wave states during sleep, we

I n the delta state one accesses what

has been referred to as the collective

unconscious, where the broadest

and most primal programs about

what it means to be human are

stored. The delta sleep experience

of the collective unconscious is in

some ways a very intense one,

intense enough that in this state we

go totally unconscious and do not

even dream. It is only from the

experience of very advanced

meditators (including those using

When the brain is in this

W hy does this re-lateralization of

the brain take place? Why is the

peace, happiness, and

connectedness that appears when

the brain is balanced so difficult to

sustain? Current research into the

nature of the mind, and, in fact, into

the very nature of the universe itself,

indicates that the universe may be

nothing more than a giant hologram

created by the mind. Holograms,

you may know, are three-

dimensional images projected into

space with the aid of a laser.

According to this theory (espoused

by, among others, David Bohm, a

protege of Einstein’s and a world-

famous quantum physicist; Karl

Pribram of Stanford University and

one of the world’s most famous

neurophysicists; and Stanislav Grof,

professor of psychiatry at John

Hopkins Medical School and the

originator of the Holotropic

Breathwork process) the universe

you see and experience is but a

holographic image created by the

patterns of belief in the subconscious

and unconscious areas of the mind.

S ince at a fundamental level we

share many common subconscious

and unconscious beliefs, specially

those of the collective unconscious,

alert and aware in this state that we

know that in the delta state material

from the collective unconscious is

accessed. (It may be that some levels

of the collective unconscious are

accessed in the theta state also, but

it is our belief that the deeper and

more substantial levels are accessed

only in the delta state.) Though this

experience of the collective

unconscious is intense enough that

we ordinarily can only experience it

in total unconsciousness, it is at the

same time such a pleasurable and

essential process of renewal and

reinvigoration that sleep is the one

thing that humans cannot be

induced to give up.

I t is in these subconscious and

unconscious areas of the mind that

we find the answer to the question

of why, for 99.9 % of humanity, the

brain cannot for very long remain in

this synchronized state, where the

D E V E L O P M E N T A L • T O O L S • F O R • S E L F • M A S T E R Y

seem to be a single shared universe

rather than billions of individual

and overlapping universes.

Although similar and sharing many

basic commonalities, these

individual universes are not the

same. Ten people can see the same

event, but each experiences it in an

entirely different way and will give

widely divergent descriptions of

what happened. Even twins, with

identical DNA encoding, experience

the same things differently. One

person’s happiness can be another

person’s hell, depending upon their

personal holographic model of the

universe.

and then we work on changing the

programming. While meditation

deepest part of the mind like nothing

else, it unfortunately takes about

fifteen years, meditating six or more

hours a day, to really perfect the

ability to open the mind in this way.

the participant and recorded in his or

her own voice . In addition, we have

developed a soundtrack designed

to be listened to during the entire

sleep period. This soundtrack allows

one to effortlessly devote many extra

hours each day to personal growth

work without disrupting one’s

normal lifestyle. (We have, by the

way, found that use of this sleep-

time soundtrack significantly

reduces sleep time.)

I n the early 1970s, however, very

significant discoveries took place

that have made this whole process

more practical and accessible for

those seeking this type of deep

healing and personal growth but

who don’t have the time or the

inclination to meditate many hours

each day for many years. By far the

most significant of these discoveries

was that the alpha, theta, and delta

brain wave patterns could easily be

induced electronically. Today,

Centerpointe Research Institute uses

Holosync audio technology, a more

sophisticated version of the

technologies first developed

T he efficiency of this technological

approach to meditation

dramatically accelerates the

personal growth process. What once

took most of a lifetime can now be

accomplished in just a few years.

And, in using Holosync technology

to create deep meditation,

participants experience the same

evolutionary signposts spoken of in

various world scriptures and

personal accounts of saints and

mystics. These include development

of various kinds of intuitive and

psychic awareness, increased

compassion, greater personal

power, expansion of self-knowledge

and awareness, sharpened mental

abilities, and the falling away of

attachments, just to name a few.

A bove all, we see that those

participating in this program

become happier. Dysfunctional and

addictive behaviors, if there are any,

begin to fall away. A safer and more

peaceful world opens up as fears

are released, feelings are felt, and

the ability to safely communicate

and connect grows. Mental acuity

increases and with it increased

abilities to learn and remember, to

creatively solve and cope with

everyday problems, and to

intuitively find the most productive

way of dealing with any situation.

People using this technology

become empowered, changed, and

renewed. They find their place in

the world. They become more

balanced, happier, more fulfilled,

and their lives begin to work as

never before.

A s a wit once said, “I wouldn’t have

seen it if I hadn’t believed it!” This,

indeed, is the way our holographic

mind operates. If the internal

hologram is one of perfection,

delight, and connectedness, that will

be the nature of the world we create;

if it is of fear, shame, separation,

and problems, an entirely different

world will be the result. A brain

with a separation-based holographic

model will always re-lateralize in

order to continue its creation of such

a universe. A brain with a

holographic model that is unity-

based, however, has no need to re-

lateralize and will create a universe

of oneness, peace, and happiness.

T his process of constructing a new

and more truthful holographic

model of the universe is nothing

new—meditators the world over

have been doing it for over ten

thousand years, using any number

of time-honored methods. First,

through some kind of focusing, the

hemispheres of the brain are

synchronized, accessing the

holographic “film”—the patterns of

belief in the subconscious and

unconscious areas of the mind.

Simultaneously, through prayers,

affirmations, visualizations, etc., the

old, counterfeit programming is

replaced with that which is more

truthful and life-affirming. This is

exactly what we do in any form of

personal growth work — we try to

put the mind in a receptive state

nature of the mind, and, in

fact, into the very nature of

the universe itself,

in the early 1970s, to induce deep

meditative states literally within

minutes, saving years of practice in

perfecting the ability to reach such

states. When we add state-of-the-

art silent communication methods

to introduce new life-affirming

patterns of belief into the

subconscious and unconscious areas

of the mind, the process of creating

“meditation through technology”—

and therefore dramatically

complete.

have never done any personal

growth work believe that personal

growth is easy. Ultimately, a time

comes when the work does become

significantly easier, but this is an

advanced stage, reached after

several years of work. Up to that

point, change is often resisted,

making transformation a sometimes

cathartic experience. Belief systems

in the subconscious and

unconscious are gradually changed

our environment carbon dioxide,

heat, waste products, activities of

various kinds, and so on. And, we

O pen systems are very plastic and

can handle all kinds of fluctuation

and variations in input from their

environment, but each system (each

person) has an upper limit of how

much randomness, how much

entropy, it can dissipate to its

environment. This limit is based on

the system’s structure (prevailing

belief systems about oneself and

one’s universe) and its degree of

complexity (the degree to which one

can see and experience the infinite

connections that make our own

personal universe).

I f fluctuations from the environment

become too much, the system cannot

dissipate enough entropy to

maintain its structure and therefore

begins to become internally chaotic

and unstable. In other words, we

feel overwhelmed. If input

continues at this higher level, the

system will finally come to a point

where it is so unstable that the

slightest nudge brings things to a

screeching halt. At this point the

system has the ability to move in an

infinite number of unpredictable

directions, like an angry crowd on

the verge of rioting or a person at a

crisis point in a serious illness.

where for over a century scientists

had been aware of a seeming

contradiction between two laws of

nature. On one hand, the second

law of thermodynamics states that

the amount of randomness or

chaos—often called entropy—in the

universe is always increasing. On

the other hand, many things,

including life itself, are obviously

becoming more ordered, less

random. Why is it, scientists

wondered, that some things evolve

and grow when the overall tendency

in the universe is for things to break

down and become less ordered?

T his limiting material needing

release has been suppressed and

relegated to the subconscious, where

for years it has been kept from

conscious awareness, because it is

part of what is often referred to as

our “dark side”—those aspects of

ourself and our world that we, in

our dualistic, good/bad outlook,

believe to be inappropriate. This

new awareness of our “dark side” is

often accompanied by painful

memories, feelings, or physical

sensations. In addition, when we

use affirmations to tell ourselves

that this “dark side” is an integral

part of our wholeness, the brain is

temporarily faced with running on

two diametrically opposite models

at the same time—one that divides

the universe into “appropriate” and

“inappropriate,” and one that sees

things in terms of wholeness and

love. This causes a temporary state

of chaos in the brain until the old

model can be released and the brain

can reorganize itself at a higher,

more truthful level of awareness.

T o understand how this happens,

let’s take a closer look at the actual

mechanics of the evolutionary

process in the brain. An intriguing

model gaining acceptace in the

scientific community today

describes evolutionary growth and

change (including all personal

W hat Prigogine noticed was that

what he calls “open systems”—

systems that are able to exchange

energy and matter with their

environment—are able to maintain

their structure and even grow and

evolve into more complex systems

because they have the ability to

dissipate entropy to their

environment in such a way that the

total amount of entropy, overall,

does increase. They maintain their

orderliness—and even increase it—

at the expense, entropically

speaking, of their environment.

T his point, which Prigogine called a

bifurcation point (bifurcate meaning

“to divide into two branches”) is a

kind of moment of truth. Either the

system totally breaks down and

ceases to exist as an organized

system, or it spontaneously reorders

itself in an entirely new way. The

incredible thing about this

reorganization is that the new

system is totally non-causal and

non-linear with what went before.
