More Extraordiary Abilities

Last week, I opened the door to one of many areas of our existence that is shrouded in doubt and suspicion.
This "shroud" alone is one where those who have "out of the ordinary" abilities may well be afraid of a witch hunt if they were to reveal them.n Fortunately, people are now trickling out, revealing remarkable (some might define as) "miraculous" abilities. This week, I want to expose you to more remarkable people, that we may allow for the possibility that we have available within us, a Power of Infinite Possibility. I share this information that we may let go of our perceived notions of limitation and open to the World that has been heretofore labeled as "Magic".

Change The Weather

As our governor is considering making a formal declaration that California is in a drought, many consider what can be done to bring the rains. I ran into (walked into really) a friend yesterday, who had just returned from a ritual, with the intention of bringing rain. Another friend had been to a ritual on Saturday, lead by a Tibetan Rimpoche, with the intention of bringing the rains. We've all heard of "rain dances", well here's a person who's job it is to change weather:   http://www.drgrotte.com/NgagpaYesheDorjeRinpoche.shtml

For 3 years, I hosted monthly drum circles at the coast. It's a cosmic combination, being on the beach, around a fire, with music, drumming, and dance. During many of these events have I experienced this weather changing phenomenon. I remember one evening, whilst drumming around the fire, it was raining all around us, but NOT ON US! In fact, there was a "hole" through the clouds directly overhead, where we could see the stars!!! Cosmic indeed!

Animal Communication

What do St Francis & Dr. Doolittle have in common? Yup, they both communicated with animals. Well, this next woman is astounding in her ability to "talk with the animals". Take a look:

What if the ability existed NOW? Are you  skeptical? If so, why? Because it's "miraculous"? Something is only miraculous when we don't know how to do it. Consider airplanes, telephone and the internet. At one time these technologies might have been assigned to the realm of "magic" or even "witchcraft". Well, I invite you to join me now in witnessing an end to cancer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmMNlmn1DPc You may wish to cut and paste this link into your browser.   As you witness this remarkable phenomenon, what do you think and feel? Are you suspicious? Why? Could your suspicion be getting in the way of recognizing  abilities of your own?   Have you ever experienced healing happen at an accelerated rate? I've had the privilege of assisting people through accelerated healing, whether through relieving the excruciating pain of kidney stones or being free of the addiction to smoking cigarettes. Here's a statement from a woman with kidney stone pain.   "Sahar has tapped into something powerful - the ability to use rhythm, sound, and  energy to get to the heart of the matter. I have experienced his gifts in an almost  magical way. He helped me regain my health when I had been suffering with what appeared to be kidney stones. I walked in weak and hurting, and walked out whole. I can't explain it, but I sure can attest to it". ~ Venus Maher   I don't list this testimonial to "toot my own horn", but to acknowledge how  accessible this Power Of Infinite Possibility is.  If it happened through me, it's available through you as well. I gotta tell ya that when I suffered (and ooohweee did I suffer) from kidney stones, I was also exposed to the use of rhythm and sound in my healing. My wife Rebecka drove me down to the Oakland Kaiser, where exists a million dollar machine that performs something called Lithotripsy. I was given a Valium a few minutes prior to the procedure and asked to wear one of those silly gowns, that exposes your butt. I laid down on this machine, while one person directed this long arm (that looked like a dental x-ray machine) towards my kidney stone. They proceeded to pulse sound waves into the stone and within 46 minutes, they had dissolved it! Now just  how COOL is that?!?! The irony was not lost on me, that I, a rhythmicist, was being healed using sound waves in a rhythmic pulse! After the Lithotripsy treatment, I put my clothes  back on and my wife drove me home. Just 20 years ago, people would have scoffed if I had told them this story. Twenty years ago, I would have been in the hospital for as much as two weeks, during which time I would have had at least one invasive surgery.   As I share with you this technological means of dissolving kidney stones, be aware of your level of acceptance to this as compared to any suspicion you may have upon witnessing video of the group's dissolving of a cancerous tumor   Some years ago, I read a few books purported to be channeled from Pleidians.  (During this time, I felt as though I was in the presence of unseen beings. But that's another story.) I was fascinated by reading their observation that we invent tools to remind us of what we are naturally capable of. They said that we created the microwave oven to remind us that nothing is solid; that everything is made up of matter, which is made of energy. We created the electric light, that we might go out into the dark and no longer  fear it. We created the telephone and the internet to remind us that we are telepathic.  What's next?   Access the Wealth of Strength, Creativity, and Joy within you It is my profound honor to assist you through whatever passage you are traversing, to a deeper  awareness of your innate worth, and the recognition and expression of your unique Gifts.

Testimonials:     "Much gratitude to Sahar for reminding me who I am and how I want to be in the world:  an expression of Divine love. Sahar is an amazing counselor both emotionally and spiritually (as well as so many other things!). Working with him has transformed me." ~ Sue Deanne    "You allowed me to look deeply into the intricacies of how I function, discovering truths  which I hadn't realized. This is accelerated therapy that gets to the core of the truth. -N. Grace    "... allowed me to learn about who I really am and what I want in life." -P. LaDeau    "You prepared the space for growth that set the stage for breakthrough experiences."   -Dawson Church, co-author of Heart of The Healer with Norman Cousins   Join us in the ecstasy of song, Wednesday, January 29th, at The Center For  Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa.

Extraordinary Abilities

When I was just a wee thing, my 7 year old sister lured my 6 year old brother up to the roof with the promise that he would be able to fly, just like Mary Poppins (whom they had just witnessed taking flight, with the aid of her way cool umbrella). My sibs proceeded up to the roof, with their "special" umbrellas in hand. With my sisters statement " I'm right behind you. You first", my brother took flight......for all of .5 seconds. Needless to say, his broken arm was all that he was able to show for it.
This fantasy is one of many, that as kids, we longed for (or perhaps remembered the freedom of living outside the learned  "box" of our perceived limitations. In this two-part article I'll share some stories of peeps living outside that "box".

Superheros Today

Fifty years ago, Stan Lee created a few super comic peeps. Remember the Fantastic Four? I loved those comic books. My favorite was The Flame. he could turn himself into flames and fly! Lee also created The Hulk, Spider Man, and Iron Man. Well, fortunately he has set his sites on searching out real super humans. In fact, he has found quite a few people with very impressive abilities. I invite you to take a look at these people, all of whom he has filmed and studied, who are truly extraordinary.

Our Extraordinary Abilities

On a more personal note, I have a couple stories to share with you from my life. In my early 20's, I lived in an ashram. One morning, I left the ashram to pick up a friend at the airport. He was to arrive at 5:30 am. About 1/4 mile before the off ramp to the San Francisco Airport, I noticed an overturned tanker truck in the center divide. Immediately, I found myself on an "ice rink" of an oil slick. The car was spinning out of control in a clockwise direction. I saw another car spinning towards and then past me. As I was about to descend over the side of the road into a ditch, at about 45 miles an hour, I yelled "Om Namah Shivaya"! with all my being. These words were my mantra at the time and my way of proclaiming "Holy shit, God help me!!".
The car stopped spinning and gradually reversed direction. It gradually aimed itself at the off ramp and stopped. I drove off. I arrived at the airport only to learn that my friend's plane was due the next day!!!
When I returned to the same section of freeway, I found the traffic to be diverted away from it because the tanker had exploded into flames and was actually melting the freeway!
In that experience I realized the power of focused intention. I aligned my entire Being into one exclamation, with the effect of having a car stop its 45 mph turn on an oil slick! After this monumental moment, rather than feeling fear, I felt great Peace and Power; an inner Knowing of the Perfection of Life. I was given a Gift. One that revealed the Infinite Possibility that is human life.

One time, on a camping trip with my eldest son Julian and our friend Lionel, we had hiked up to a beautiful summit.Whilst enjoying the gorgeous view, I pulled out 5 dice and some Yahtzee cards. I told them it was my intention to summon all my focus on the dice turning up the very best hand possible for each turn. You guessed it, the first hand, the dice came up all sixs, the second time, they turned up all fives, then fours, then threes, then twos, then ones, then three of one and two of another! Each time we were (as you can imagine) flabbergasted!

Fire Walking

Ever been to a fire walk? On three separate occasions have I experienced this extraordinary phenomenon. After two hours of instruction followed by guided meditation and discussion, we headed out to a ginormous fire. The coals were spread out into a swath about 12' wide and 30' long. Even spread out, the coals created tremendous heat. I could see waves of heat wafting from them. We were told that the key to firewalking was to walk when (and only when) you had a complete "yes" to going. The "yes" was not to impress another or to prove something to yourself. What a great lesson for life!
When I had the "yes" I walked across the 12' section. WOW WOW WOW! I walked on super hot coals! The feeling was so deeply empowering that it changed my life. I knew that if I could do that, then the rest of my life was a "cake walk"!

My wife Rebecka, relates a story about an extraordinary moment when playing cards with a friend.
"We were playing a card game, I dealt the cards face down and he picked his up. For a fraction of a second I saw through the cards, as though the paper wasn't there. I saw an Ace of Spades. I said "That's the Ace of Spades". Not liking that she knew his card, he told her to "Deal them again".

I have always been fascinated with superheros. In part, my fascination is my desire to recognize my own abilities, beyond my accepted norm. Although, when asked if I could choose one super power, I must admit it's the ability to make others feel love. Maybe it's not as "cool" as seeing through walls, but that has been the one that has lit my way.

I invite dialogue around this topic. What extraordinary ability have you experienced yourself and/or witnessed expressed by another? All you super humans, come on out of the closet.
