CODA

By Bernard W. Bail, M.D.

Throughout our arduous history there has always been talk of peace on earth, of a war to end wars.  We are jaded with this kind of talk. No one believes it is possible. History shows us that human beings are essentially the same as we have always been, despite advances in technology. Humans have not fundamentally changed in millennia.  It seems that the business of the world is, and has always been, business.  All "revelations" are just boring repetitions of previous revelations.

We have to sit still and think, is life truly all about business?  Is that why we have descended into this life form, just to live a few years, become a cog in the business wheel of some billionaire's mind?  Are we the workers only? Have we, the people, been only that all these thousands of years?

Even philosophy has given us no definitive answers.  A clever person with a very high IQ can always concoct answers and realizations that checkmate the proposition. There has been talk of a higher truth, as if there were a lower one; a moral value, as if there were gradations of values.

Now with the discoveries I have made through my method of analyzing patients’ dreams, I think that the possibility for a real change can take hold, a real change that can spread everywhere in the world; for every human being desires peace, economic and medical security, and happiness.  My method lays bare how all human beings work, whether highly educated or uneducated or anything in between; our truths are revealed in dreams, and dreams reveal the Source, reveal our connection to Source. Nobody else has done analysis in this way, but now with these discoveries there is a way to ascertain the truth of every proposition put forward by anyone about anything.

Scientific truths have to be followed because not following them would cause buildings to collapse, bridges to crumble, and aircraft to fall out of the sky.  Monkeying with the truth would prevent us from sending telescopes and spacecraft into space, for we must  follow the necessary and agreed upon truths, also known as scientific laws, which are true whether the scientists are Muslim, Catholic, or Buddhist, and regardless of skin color or any other differentiator.  Scientists are wedded to the truth. It is what they devote their lives to. It is the one surety in their lives because in the rest of their lives scientists are like all of us: human beings with families, children, relationships good or bad feelings, that may be cheerful or sad, feelings which they may not understand, feelings they may be able to leave at the door of their laboratory, but which they will pick up again on coming out and carry home with them. No one is immune from this experience.

Feelings reside in every human being on earth from the beginning of life and, with the imprint, things happen to make our journey more complex, more difficult; for some it may lead to physical illness or emotional impairment. The discoveries I have made have finally given us a scientific beginning of all that happens to the human being. This can be traced by an analysis of a human being, as it has been done with a number of people, and it has been possible to delineate nodal points of illnesses beginning and developing. It has been possible to discern why people's lives become skewed and impossible or just grimly unhappy.

This has been possible because I have discovered that the feminine unconscious must be accessed in any individual who undergoes the process of psychoanalysis. There in the process we find the answer to all their problems. There we can see how the events of early (unconscious) abuse perpetrated by their parents, can deliver such terrible blows to the psyche.

There we see how piteously accurate are the revelations of the unconscious. They are akin to scientific answers whether in numbers or equations. There is also contained - when the pain of a lifetime is relieved and contact is made with the patient's higher self - the self that is able to access Source itself.

It becomes clear to anyone working in the field of analysis using my method that all information filters down from Source. We see it fractured, or splintered, because our perception is so badly distorted, as I have written about in detail in various essays on my website such as "Who Am I."  If we take that to be true, it becomes clear, that this is how one can see in our current reality, how some can see with the "eyes" of a Genghis Khan or Attila the Hun as well as those of a Leonardo daVinci or Einstein.

We know that the feelings of a person, even geared for hatred and war, can be changed to different feelings by understanding their dreams. It is no wonder, for the unconscious is the place where dreams are born. The unconscious is the domain of Source and Source can only pour out the truth endlessly. We need only the instrument whereby we can see it, and the courage to look without flinching. We have the method and the instrument—my method of analysis. We need the courage. This is essentially the battle of a spiritual warrior and this is the hardest battle of all. At the end it has the greatest of all prizes— to know your own truth.

SEQUEL

Each person unbeknownst to him- or herself is a truth bearer (as well as a truth barer). Everyone comes into this worldly existence with that potential, with that desire.  Metaphorically the catch is we all have to work for it and the metaphor can be seen in the great Greek myth of the hero Hercules and his task to clean the Augean stables (in this myth is the beginning of the Christ story which will come into realization later). Our lives are burdened by an unrealized imprint which usually takes us off our path. This initial distortion leads to incredible difficulties for many, causing unending pain and relentless depression, with physical and/or emotional illness. The roots of all these manifestations lie in the unconscious. Now we have a tool, one which I have undertaken in my various writings to explain, to describe and to reveal its mechanism. I have shown the struggles that have to be fought and overcome to gain one's freedom.

In the course of this process one's higher self is being cleansed, receiving enlightenment from Source and at the same time enabling it to see both its internal world and its external world with clearer eyes.

What it sees is Source or truth. Not a truth that can be argued about, a value that can be double-jointed. It is the truth and gives one the capacity to see the truth, and it will not ever again permit anyone in leadership to say things, to promise things that seem reasonable. That leader will not be able to invoke the person's deepest fears, which are his pain in receiving his imprint. There can be no place for lies to hide, no place to bear false witness against any people, for all people can have access to the truth and all people will see they have no cause to kill one another.  People will easily see the benefit of cooperating, of forming union to clean the Augean stables. The Augean stable is really the world we live in, which has been made so by unscrupulous, selfish men; and it is the world within that has made us so unknowing, as was perpetrated (often unconsciously) by our mothers and fathers. This obfuscation has been going on for thousands of years.

The reward will be now as in the Middle Ages, which were a rehearsal for the task and the time which lies ahead. Masons and artisans built the great cathedrals of Europe which still leave us awestruck; before them the slaves built pyramids, all to worship Source.  But the rulers also attempted to make Source the province of certain elite groups of people.  Now is the time that Source will be available for all people and all people can be king. There will be a surging of the pulse and a racing of the blood as we gain the moral high ground. There is only one place and that is when one listens to Source with their higher self—accomplishing the mission, the space travel, through the ocean of consciousness to true enlightenment for all.  For all.
