André Hofer - Heaven and Earth - 1 - Now

In actual fact, Releasing is not a method at all; it is rather an attitude towards life. It is a decision to discern directly, describe appropriately and release accordingly, everything that may cause an imbalance of my inner equilibrium or to induce stress. I can say with conviction that, after using the simple principles of the Releasing -method for more than ten years, the quality of my life was enhanced immensely. Calmness, (self)-love and (self)-confidence appear more and more, and, as a positive consequence, the equilibrium of the outer environment increases as well.

The way we perceive ourselves and the world around us depends directly on our awareness. And that is why it is time, NOW, that we appreciate and value highly the life’s work of a “great” scientist:

C) The levels of Consciousness

Dr. Dr. David Hawkins has been a practising Psychiatrist since 1952. He wrote numerous books, inter alia , in collaboration with the Nobel-Prize winner Linus Pauling, the pioneering work: “Orthomolecular Psychiatry”. Hawkins, in his capacity as researcher and college lecturer, received numerous invitations to lecture at High Schools, Universities and Monasteries across the globe. As a consultant he aided foreign governments and international diplomats in extreme critical conflict situations.

Already as a three-year-old boy, and later as a juvenile during an ice-cold snow storm, which almost cost him his life, he had so-called “experiences of enlightenment”. He describes it as “an entire awareness of being” and “as a state of indescribable sereneness, accompanied by light and the presence of an unlimited love, which had neither beginning nor end and was not so different from the core of my own being.” He relates in detail his experiences in his books.

He, like the Lindwalls, had a prosperous practice and was almost unable to cope with the growing stream of patients. He began to study kinesiology, where he learned that the human body contains an inner wisdom, and that this wisdom can be used for the highest benefit of (one’s own) life. During a kinesiological test the reaction of a particular muscle to a specified applied stimulus is checked.

Normally, the test person stretches out her/his arm sideways, and the testing person pushes the arm down, applying a slight pressure to the arm some finger-width from the wrist. The result reveals whether or not a certain food product subserves ones health. The testing person‘s statement may run: “It subserves the health of the tested person to consume sugar”. After such a statement, the testing person asks the test person again to stretch out her/his arm and hold it up, after which a slight pressure is applied again by the testing person, trying to push the arm down. Numerous stimuli or statements can, thus, be tested by using this method. Whenever the stimulus was positive, true and subservent to life, the answer is “Yes” and the muscle remains strong, i.e. the arm of the person tested remains straight. Whenever the stimulus was negative, untrue and not conducive to life, the answer is “No” and the muscle reacts weakly, i.e. the arm of the person tested can be pushed down by the testing person with ease.

By means of these tests Dr. Hawkins developed over decades a numbered scale/chart of the consciousness comprising the entire states of human awareness, correlating with corresponding numbers on the scale. On this scale, the bottom value is 0, representing the absence of any life, i.e. physical death. The top value is 1,000, representing the state of enlightenment or united consciousness, which has been attained by only a select number of Souls, e.g. Jesus Christ, during our entire human history.

The levels of consciousness according to Dr. Dr. Hawkins are shown on the next page:

This scale is very interesting. Dr. Hawkins discovered that certain emotional conditions yielded negative test results; so for example, ‘shame’ as an emotional condition resulted in the least energy, followed by feelings of guilt, apathy, depression, hatred and grief. The next value on the scale (100) correlates with angst (or anxiety). This is then followed by greed, anger and enragement and, in the last (negative) place stands the Ego, arrogance and pride (175).

The value 200 commands a key position on the scale, for only after exceeding this value real power exists, which will yield a positive test result: the value 200 stands for courage, truth and integrity. Any wo(man) who is truthful, courageous, and believes in integrity, her/his virtue radiates power, and she/he has decided not to be influenced by negative feelings like guilt or anger.

Increasing energy contains inner attitudes of neutrality, willingness, acceptance and a clear consciousness or rationality (up to the value of 499). Lastly, we have reached the levels where life is being revered and its real value is revealed, namely love, joy and peace (500 … 600). Within this range, the primary point is not mere thinking or doing: no, just “being” is everything. The miaowing of a cat, the babbling of a baby or grandad in the rocking chair; everything is simple, complete and wholesome. Thereafter, what follows is pure awareness (700 … 1,000), which cannot be described in words.

The knowledge of these interrelations is very valuable, and we will be using it time and again in the course of this book

Alright then, we can now begin.

My Brothers, we should talk together…

Prologue Paradise I

Slimy, the Snake, had just bitten

into his own tail end.

Mandy, the Mole, hurried towards him,

bringing tincture of arnica.

She looked after him, heart-warmingly,

and while he, his face contorted

with pain, was lying on his back,

she anointed him

with medicinal herbs.

Slimy fell into a deep sleep,

while Mandy washed her hands

of responsibility,

and God thought:

This was just a narrow escape!

1 To the Masculine:

IT IS TIME FOR RESPONSIBILITY NOW

Hello, Brother, it is nice that you are here with me, that you exist. How are you?

How is your life right now?

Are you feeling well? How is your body?

All systems go?

The reason I am asking you this is that we are living in a world where men have the saying in almost all matters, or at least in politics, economy and religion for more than 5,000 years. This long period was coined by great strains, e.g. strategies, power, hierarchy, fights, wars, conquests, destruction, techniques, logic and, not least of all, the oppression of the Feminine. This epoch is also called Patriarchy. Male patriarchs decided the course of world affairs in governmental as well as ecclesiastical matters. Terrain was conquered, surrounded by borders and a name was given. When lucky, this terrain may have contained valuable minerals or other primary products, guaranteeing long-lasting wealth. In this way the whole planet Earth was divided into dominions during the course of human history, and these were defended at all costs. “Great Führer“ (leaders) believed time and time again in their delusion that they had to enlarge their territory by hook or by crook. To this end, plans and weapons were hammered out. Innumerable, millions of human brothers were sent into battle, fighting each other, killing each other and, what was worst of all:
