script for: The Complete Circulation of the Light: A Guided Meditation   by Dennis William Hauck. Read by Barry Moore. INTRODUCTION Chinese alchemists became proficient at spiritual Distillation thousands of years ago. In a discipline called “Circulation of the Light,” the aspirant is taught to concentrate on the light of the inmost region and, while doing so, to free himself from all outer and inner entanglements. The basic practice in the Circulation of the Light is known as “The Microcosmic Orbit” or “The Lesser Heavenly Cycle” (as opposed to the greater cycle of the rotation of stars and constellations). The “light” that is circulated is the chi (or lifeforce), guided by thought and imagination through three inner cauldrons or vessels (known as tan tien or “elixir fields”). The first of these inner cauldrons is the Lower Tan Tien, which is situated in the abdomen between the pelvis and navel. It is where the alchemist gathers, blends, and cooks their sexual, vital, and spiritual essences. In Western alche

This installment of Art Bell's "Dreamland" show was titled "Alchemy and the Paranormal Reality.  "Dreamland" was part of Art's "Coast to Coast AM" franchise, and his unique radio show captured over 10 million listeners a week. Art Bell (1945-2018) broadcast from the isolated town of Pahrump in desolate Nye County, Nevada. Art saw himself not as an authority, but as a fellow explorer with his guests. First broadcast November 8, 1999.

This short poem captures all the operations of alchemical transformation in one vision. I wrote it when I was 17 in 1962, before I knew anything about alchemy. It was selected to be included in the album "Sound of Poetry" by the National Library of Poetry and published in 1992.

This is actually an audition tape for the “Oprah Winfrey Show” when my book The Emerald Tablet: Alchemy for Personal Transformation was being considered for Oprah’s Book Club. Unfortunately, the producers thought it was a bit “over the top” for Oprah’s viewers, and listening to it today, I would have to agree. But it is one of my best efforts to explain the origins and power of the ancient teachings of Hermes and how they evolved in alchemy, literature, religion, and science. Topics include the Emerald Tablet, the history of Balinas (Apollonius of Tyana), the seven operations and the Emerald Formula, the planetary archetypes, and how they apply to personal transformation. There is also an active imagination session with Thoth in which he explains the nature of the universe.  However controversial the ideas expressed in this reading are today, they represent the historical view and “One True Philosophy” that inspired the alchemists to so ardently pursue the Great Work. I have continued to research Thoth’s teac

This is a sample reading from Chapter 1 of In the Mind of the Universe: The Monad and You! Order the book from https://amzn.to/489vk5H 

Real experiences of the Monad from historical sources, literature, and the personal experiences of the author.  The experiences share most of the following ten characteristics: 1) The experience begins in a state of non-duality or Oneness. 2) It seems to take place in a boundless space of pure warm light. 3) Everything is stripped away—no more ego, striving, or worldly attachments. 4) The basic dichotomy of “I” versus “other” is transcended. 5) There is a sense of original self or primal state of being in which just your pure centerless awareness or “default” presence remains. 6) It is “beyond thoughts” or exhibits the inability to have thoughts, and because of this, there is no fear. 7) There is a sense of eternity with no experience of time. 8) There is a feeling of complete knowledge or direct gnosis of reality. 9) The overall feeling is one of infinite security, serenity, and satisfaction. 10) In describing the experience to others, it remains paradoxical and ineffable.

The Basic Monadic Meditation from my book "In the Mind of the Universe: The Monad and You!" https://amzn.to/489vk5H  Read by Scott McCain.   

Modern scientists use the term “singularity” rather than "monad" when referring to monadic structures or events, although the word “monad” is still used when referring to the ontological and mathematical roots of science. As we shall see, that is historically how the idea of a monadic universe originated in science. Technically, a singularity is the point at which a mathematical function takes on an infinite value. In consciousness studies and psychology, it is the basic characteristic that defines consciousness. In astrophysics, it is a point of zero volume with infinite density and gravity. The Big Bang Theory postulates that our universe emerged from such a singularity and that before this event, space and time did not exist. That means the Big Bang itself took place at no place and no time, although by measuring the distance and velocities of expanding galaxies, the age of the universe has been calculated to be 13.77 billion years.
