Escape

Past Life Regression at the Skydoorzi
Institute

Lonny Knapp

 

Ten….Listen to my voice. As
I count backwards you will become more relaxed.

Nine….Your eyelids are
heavy, you feel as though you are floating backwards.

Eight….Your whole body is
now relaxed. Surrender to the hypnosis.

 

I am lying on a bed with my
eyes closed in a dimly lit room. New age music is playing quietly in the
background; a soothing composition featuring a pan flute, the harmonious
chirping of birds and a babbling brook. Faith is somewhere in the room speaking
continuously in a soothing and mesmerizing tone. She is trying to hypnotize me.
She is trying to lead me into a state of deep relaxation where, through her
guidance I will be able to remember my past lives. Me; I’m just trying to
suspend my skepticism long enough to allow her to work her
mojo.

 

I met Faith at Skydoorzi
Spiritual Institute. A lush storefront located on the concourse level of my
apartment building. Beautifully decorated with potted plants, trees and flowers
it stands out in sharp contrast to the cold concrete, and glass that surrounds
it. Skydoorzi is the author of three books on self discovery and spiritualism, a
talented artist, and a sought after public speaker who is well known throughout
Taiwan and he is my neighbor. Faith is his apprentice.

 

I became aware of The
Skydoorzi Spiritual Institute when I picked up a pamphlet sitting on the
security desk in my lobby. It advertised past life regression and hypnotism as a
form of therapy for those looking to escape depression and turmoil in their
life. At The Skydoorzi Spiritual Institute they believe that most emotional
problems can be solved not by looking outward or by the use of drugs, but by
turning our focus inward.

“Many of our relationships
fail or are troubled because of control. We cannot control our own lives so we
seek out relationships where we can control the other person or be controlled.”
explains Faith.

“Through meditation and
hypnosis we can quiet our mind and look inside to identify the real underlying
problem”

 

Past Life Regression
Therapy works on the premise that the physical or emotional trauma the patient
is experiencing now could be caused by unresolved events remembered from a past
life. By no means supported by the medical community it is practiced world wide
and endorsed by highly respected and educated psychologists and physicians. It
is also the basis for Dianetics: The book that spawned the “religion”
Scientology, whose followers include some of the most powerful people in
Hollywood including Tom Cruise and John Travolta.

If it is good enough for
Vinnie Barbarino it is good enough for me. Besides if Past Life Regression is
responsible for Tom Cruise’s enormous wealth and success, who am I to scoff at
the chance to go back in time to right some distant wrongs?

 

You are now fully
relaxed.You are standing in a field. Beneath your bare feet……feel the
grass.Before you stands a tree….see the tree. Approach the
tree.

 

Lying in the bed I feel
aware of the room around me. I do not see a field or a tree but I am trying hard
to visualize them. Throughout the process I have had trouble quieting my mind.
The constant conversation in my head is affecting my ability to fully relax into
the meditation.

 

“This is bogus” my mind
complains

“Well maybe if you would
shut up we would be able to see this damn tree she’s talking
about”

“I can’t believe you got us
into this one”

“I’m
hungry”

“Hey I think I’m hypnotized
now…..wait no….hold on…maybe…”

“I wonder if I could learn
to hypnotize people. Then I could use my new power to make people give me money
and sexual favors”

“That’s not what this is
all about man. We are trying to find a new understanding of ourselves, really
explore our mind, man. Find an inner sanctum...”

“Shut the fuck up you
stinking hippy”And so goes the conversation inside my head.

 

Four…As I count backwards
to one, feel yourself returning to your body. You will remember everything you
felt and saw under hypnosis.

Thre…You are still deeply
relaxed. You feel calm and rejuvenated.

Two…Opening your eyes
become aware of your surroundings.

One…Welcome
back.

 

I open my eyes to see Faith
smiling down at me. She hands me a glass of water and I sit on the edge of the
bed and drink it. She asks me about my experience and I tell her I was
eventually able to quiet my mind enough to be deeply relaxed and could visualize
my surroundings but didn’t feel as though I was really “there”. She assures me
that for many people it takes more than one session. After a few minutes I
excuse myself and leave.

 

It occurs to me that people
will try anything to escape from cold, grim, reality. For some it is alcohol and
drugs, for others health and fitness. Some people drive too fast, others
paraglide off mountain sides. Some people get lost in the fantasy of television
and others in the reality of sex. And for some it is religion and
spirituality.

 

For me the thought of
paying somebody to guide me through my unconscious mind to unlock memories
stored from another life is ludicrous. If I could get someone to unlock the
memory from last Saturday night, now, that would be something. But the idea that
we have the ability to heal ourselves through quieting our minds and listening,
I can identify with. Through our many escapes we are over-prescribed,
over-entertained and under-rested. What we need in life is more stillness.

 

Leaving The Skydoorzi
Institute I feel better than I have in a long time. Not because I solved a deep
inner mystery or because I found out that three hundred years ago I was a
prostitute in Paris, (Although I have always had suspicions.) but because I took
the time to relax and quiet my mind. I feel prepared to face the rest of my day
with a level head. I stop for a moment and allow the feeling of well being to
settle in and promise myself I will make more time to shut down, turn off and
listen.

在SKYDOORZI心靈學院回溯前世

 By Lonny Knapp搖滾樂手

 譯者/采恩 

十 ………聽著我的聲音，在我倒數的時候，你會更放鬆。

九 ………你的眼皮沉重，感覺自己正朝著前世回溯。

八 ………你的全身皆已放鬆、完全地被催眠了！

 

我閉著眼睛、躺在昏暗房裡的一張床上。背景響起的是新世紀音樂正悠然地播放著。一種安撫人心的樂曲，和諧地融合了長笛、鳥鳴與流水的合唱。Faith在房裡的某個角落，用著沉穩、迷人的語調，繼續地說著 ……。

她在給我進行催眠，並試著引導我進入一個更深度放鬆的境界。而經由她的帶領，我將更能追溯起我的前世記憶。我呢？正試著暫時將我滿腹的疑惑拋在一旁，以助她順利進行魔法。

 

我是在SKYDOORZI心靈學院認識Faith的。它就座落在我公寓大樓中庭的一角；以青翠茂密的盆栽、樹與花朵裝飾的店面；跟其週遭冷酷的水泥建築物與玻璃比較起來，形成了一股強烈的對比。Skydoorzi是書架上三本探討個人自覺，與靈性相關叢書的作者；一個才華洋溢的藝術家，在臺灣也是個頗受歡迎的演講家；他更是我的芳鄰，Faith則是她的門生。

 

我是從大廳警衛室桌上的廣告文宣小冊子裡，才得知這個心靈工作室的。上面提及人們可藉由前世催眠等方式，來遠離生命中的沮喪與騷動。在這裡，主事者相信無需依靠外求或藥物，只需憑藉著對自我內在的省察，即能解決大部份的感情問題。

 

『我們的人際關係之所以會失敗、或成為棘手的問題，都是“控制”二字所造成的！』『因為無法掌控自己的人生，所以我們向外尋求能讓我們掌控的人、關係；或者是讓自己成為被掌控的人。』Faith解釋道。『經由冥想或催眠我們可以沉澱心靈，並且經由內省來進一步察覺出真正未被挖掘的問題根源所在。』

 

回溯療法是讓病患從前世的記憶中，來找出造成他今生身、心受創的病源。此法不但廣泛地被運用在全球醫療結構中，連一些權威級的心理醫師、治療師亦高度推崇、願意為之背書的；回溯療法也是Dianetics的基礎。有一本書裡面就有談論到回溯療法，讓一些好萊塢深具影響力的明星，包括：湯姆克魯斯、約翰屈伏塔，。如果此法連Vinnie
Barbarino都有很好的療效的話，那麼一定也適用於我。除此之外，如果回溯前世真能為湯姆克魯斯今日的功成名就負起責任的話，那我又有什麼資格對它加以嘲諷呢？倒不如藉此機會回到過去，來糾正一些悠久、彌遠的錯誤。

 

你已全然放鬆。正站在一塊原野當中。在你的腳下，感受到綠草如茵。在你面前有一棵樹，看著它，向它靠近。

 

躺在床上的我，清楚的意識到這房子的四周既不見田野也看不到樹；但我還是努力地摹想著。在過程中，我曾難以靜下心來。只因腦中嘮叨不休的對話，影響我進入全然放鬆、冥想的境界。

 

「這太假了吧！」我的心抱怨著說。

「喂，如果你能住嘴的話，也許我們真能看見她提到的那棵該死的樹。」

「我真不敢相信你讓我倆倘這淌渾水！」

「我餓了。」

「喂，我以為我被催眠了呢……等等…不……等一下…也許…。」

「我在想如果我學會催眠他人的話，那麼我就可以利用我的新能力去騙財騙色了。」

「老兄，這可不是它的本意！咱們該試著找出一個新自覺的方式、深切地去探索我們心靈…尋求內心的聖堂。」

「給我閉上你的嘴巴，你這個臭嘻皮！」於是在我腦裡的對話就這麼沒了。

 

四 ………在我往回數到一的時候，感覺你自己正重新回到你的身體裡。你會記得所有在催眠過程中所感受到的、所見到的一切。

三 ………你仍處於深度的放鬆。你感到平靜與煥然一新.

二 ………張開眼睛看看你的四周。

一 ………歡迎回來。

 

我張開眼睛看見Faith正對著我笑。她遞給我一杯水，我坐在床沿喝下。她隨即問到關於我的催眠經歷；我跟她說：我終於能將心靈沉靜到深度放鬆，並且能看見週遭的一切了；可是卻怎麼也感覺不到我曾身歷其境。

Faith跟我保證這對許多人來說，都得花上一個療程以上的時間。

 

過沒多久以後，我跟她告辭、離開了工作室。

 

浮現在我腦海裡的是，有些人盡其所能的將自己免除於冷酷、殘暴、與現實之外。對有些人來說，靠的是酒精與迷幻藥；有些人則是靠健康的身體與道德的價值。有的人衝太快、有的人鑚漏洞；有人迷失在電視機的幻象之中、有人則被困在性的現實地裡；更有些人藉著宗教和心靈精神層次來脫離這一切。

 

就我個人而言，叫我付錢給人並指引我從無意識的心靈裡，來開啟前世的記憶是件蠻荒謬的事。而今，如果我能喚醒某人在上個週末夜晚的記憶的話，那就太了不得了！至於這種藉由沉靜心靈與傾聽，即能擁有自我療效的說法，我是認同它的。

在我們許許多多的逃脫當中，存在著過多的要求、意見，以及無止息的過程。其實人生需要的只是多一些寧靜而已。

離開工作室之後，我心裡感到長久以來未曾有過的舒適。倒不是因為我解開了一個藏於內心深處的奧秘；或者發現自己在三百年前的巴黎是個妓女。（即便我老早就在懷疑。）是因為我花時間去放鬆跟沉靜我的心靈。我已準備以一個更清晰的大腦，去面對接下來的時間。我停留了一會兒，讓幸福、安寧的感覺沉穩下來；再應允我自己花更多的時間去多聽、少講。
