1 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:20,559 Consciousness, a Cosmic Book on the Mechanics of Creation by Yitzhak Bintov, read by Kash 2 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:36,880 When Ben began writing about his inner experiences in the 1970s, later published ... 3 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,840 the general level of human consciousness caused him to disguise his material in the 4 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,119 a cartoon strip, a cosmic strip. 5 00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:01,439 In the 1970s, unlike today, the general public was far from being aflame with the 6 00:01:01,439 --> 00:01:07,599 need to understand such questions as, "What is happening to our planet? 7 00:01:07,599 --> 00:01:10,200 Are the poles about to shift? 8 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,599 Will our sun explode? 9 00:01:17,219 --> 00:01:24,599 Ben had to navigate in an atmosphere of complacent slumbering in the old paradigm ... 10 00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:25,599 safety. 11 00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:32,840 Now, as we enter the new millennium, the consciousness of the masses is shifting an... 12 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,239 lightning speed, reflecting changes in the earth herself. 13 00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:46,400 a new perspective. 14 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:53,519 Therefore, it is timely to make Ben's direct experiences of higher dimensions available 15 00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:55,760 to the public again. 16 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:02,079 As we advance by leaps and bounds into four-dimensional consciousness, there are 17 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,960 of higher consciousness. 18 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:20,599 Ben's Cosmic Journey is an invaluable blueprint and record of changes in the 19 00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:27,719 in the physical body that occur as consciousness unfolds into its full 20 00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:29,960 divine origin. 21 00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:45,199 highest levels of creation, and it brings the realization that this is where we belong. 22 00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:53,479 It emphasizes, again and again, that the only key to these levels is unconditional love. 23 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,159 guided tour of the enfoldment of consciousness through interaction with 24 00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:11,020 way beyond the human range. 25 00:03:11,020 --> 00:03:18,039 One gains the understanding and the assurance that we are an integral part of this cosmic 26 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,120 of evolution. 27 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:38,180 More than that, it demonstrates that we can be and are there now, as soon as the illusion 28 00:03:38,180 --> 00:03:45,280 of separation is dissolved. 29 00:03:48,219 --> 00:03:55,360 After the publication of Stalking the Wild Pendulum in 1977, its author, Yitzhak Ben 30 00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:03,000 Bintov, was asked by an interviewer why he had chosen so curious a title for his work. 31 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,719 Replied the author, "Because everything in the universe that is visible or manifest 32 00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:14,520 like a pendulum, moving from one point of rest to another. 33 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,920 Bintov went on to assert that pendulums, just as they reached the culmination of their 34 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,800 swings in one direction and before they start back in the other, actually disappear for a 35 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:38,720 miniscularly brief period, vanishing from what passes for "reality," then re-entering. 36 00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:52,279 to jolt his readers into insights beyond conventional thinking, in the same way that 37 00:04:52,279 --> 00:05:01,199 a Zen master uses a koan to vault his postulance beyond the domain of common sen... 38 00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:06,120 realm of Buddhist enlightenment known as Satori. 39 00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:20,399 the swings of life, they build a picture of the universe on the basis of an on-off 40 00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:21,920 mechanism. 41 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:29,160 During the "off" periods, they can expand into a region unbounded by time and space, 42 00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:41,759 Such periods of ecstasy range from the fleeting to the more enduring. 43 00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:46,720 Letters received by Bintov suggest that his readers did not find it difficult, in fact 44 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,079 were eager to embrace this conceit. 45 00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:56,439 He seemed able to affect in them a chord all too ready to resonate, if plugged. 46 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:09,319 accountants, headquartered in New York, wrote, "Having a non-scientific but inquir... 47 00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:15,120 your explanation of the workings of nature gave me a better grasp of the cosmos and the 48 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:21,000 relationship of human beings thereto than anything I have read to date. 49 00:06:30,420 --> 00:06:36,680 The present short work is the evidence that Bintov heeded that injunction to produce a 50 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:44,759 sequel, a task ably finished by his talented, sculpturous wife, Mirtala, after his untimely 51 00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:46,519 death. 52 00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:04,800 idiomatically, to happen on, or come across, implying a fortuitous event or unplanned 53 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:10,879 As a skilled plier of the inventor's trade for much of his life, Bintov's day-to-day 54 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:26,980 so-called "objective time," as measured by watches and clocks, is suspended and gives 55 00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:33,800 way to shorter or longer periods of subjective time, in which one can be anywh... 56 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:40,160 anything one wishes, limited only by creative imagination. 57 00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:55,240 lectures on mental science delivered at Edinburgh University, discussed a subjecti... 58 00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:00,000 he held to encompass all time and all space. 59 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:07,560 Trollard was exploring a terra incognita of which academic psychology is only beginning 60 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,519 to take note. 61 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:23,240 Foundation in Topeka, Kansas, have discovered that subjects trained in meditation can 62 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:30,040 mental states in which their brains emit waves, called theta, at rates between four 63 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,000 cycles per second. 64 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:38,360 During this theta reverie, the subjects are bombarded with hosts of vivid, often symbolic 65 00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:50,200 Bintov, it appears, came to the realization that if the reverie were subject to willful 66 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:56,879 control and focused on a specific problem, the images received would contribute to its 67 00:08:56,879 --> 00:08:58,159 solution. 68 00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:05,639 He not infrequently experienced what he termed "aha moments," when ordinary mental 69 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:18,840 seize prizes of pure information on the ocean of the infinite. 70 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:25,480 The act of apprehending the super sensible was, in an earlier day, attributed to gnosis 71 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:34,279 or intuitively revealed knowledge that, during an age of reason, ceded its place t... 72 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:45,759 The substitution of the one for the other was complete the day Baron Verrullum Viscount 73 00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:52,960 Saint Albans, better known as Sir Francis Bacon, announced, "Reality only presents 74 00:09:52,960 -->
