Introduction to Theta. Lesson 1A

You are about to embark on a fascinating journey of body, mind and spirit. You are about to experience the personal magic, personal enrichment and empowerment of Theta.

What Is Theta?

Theta is a latent or hidden ability within each and every one of us to influence, alter or even occasionally to control the world in which we live. Everyone is born with Theta. However, in most people that personal ability or power lies unused, dormant. We have to consciously, if you will, intentionally, reactivate this power which we all possess

Instinctive Skills.

We are conceived in an aquatic world in our mother's womb, suspended in water re-amniotic fluid. Every child is born with the ability to swim. However, at birth we are thrust from this sheltered, liquid world into the airy world we see around us.

At conception, infants are natural swimmers. At birth, we rapidly lose that skill. However, within the first few days of birth, a baby, who cannot yet even roll over or hold of her head, will swim, naturally, in a tub of warm water, if given the opportunity. If exposed to submersion shortly after birth, the child will instinctively hold his breath, roll on his back, and float -- a skill that will remain for a lifetime. However, wait a few weeks to expose the child and that instinctive skill is gone and the child must be taught from scratch to swim. Or even worse, the child may learn to become afraid of the water, of fear that is learned, and not natural.

How many God-given, natural skills and abilities, like the natural instinct to swim, are we born with, but lose overtime due to disuse? Surprisingly, as you will learn, the list is rather long. We, from a very early age, are actually trained to ignore our natural skills and abilities, skills and abilities that would be of great benefit to us as adults.

Why Did We Lose these Instinctive Skills?

There are two reasons that a skill can atrophy or become dormant:

1. The skill is no longer required for survival, and becomes inactive over generations through disuse.
2. Older skills may be replaced by newer, learn the skills.

In addition to these skills which atrophy, there are a myriad of skills which we possess, but of which we are unaware. These skills may come apparent during times of great stress, during times of calm meditation, or occasionally, for no apparent reason. Sometimes these skills are so bizarre or unusual that we dismiss them as coincidence or a fluke of nature, and dust, never develop the hidden or latent skill.

How Do We Reactivate Dormant Skills?

First, we must be aware that we possess a skill to begin with! Second, we must be alert to signs of new skills. We must not be too quick to dismiss certain events as accidental or coincidental. To do this, we can be told or shown, but rarely does being told or shown, alone, result in being able to apply the skill.

We can be aware. We can search for skills, search for abilities, and cultivate those that we find. These skills are in some ways like our muscles. They require exercise, repetition, attention to develop to their full potential.

Collectively, we call this set of little-known, and generally misunderstood or ignored skills and abilities the power of Theta, a God-given power that lies within each of us -- but is dormant in most. Most new students, or neophytes, are amazed at just what we are capable of doing.

Subjects We Will Cover.

In our journey, our quest four knowledge and personal development, we must understand at least small pieces of many disciplines. To understand how our body works we must understand a little biology. To understand some basic concepts and ideas we must study a little philosophy. To understand why the world we live in behaves and reacts as it does we must understand a little physics. What is important is to understand not only that an event happens, but why and how. We must become critics and skeptics. We must become students of life. And, we must know and understand the hidden and the unusual when it occurs so as not to dismiss it as either coincidence or childish thoughts.
