Transcendental Alphabiotics.

Humans have the latent ability to slide in and out of various states of consciousness.Transcendent Alphabiotics

There are many ways to alter one’s state of consciousness (call it clarity, perspective) – through yoga, meditation, hypnosis, drugs and fasting.

Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters of the psychedelic movement of the 1960’s were prematurely anointed the messiah’s of consciousness expansion with L*D only loosing it’s luster with the advent of regulation.

Confirmation of our lust for even a slight (non-psychotropic) alteration in perception can be seen in the lines extending out the door each morning at Starbucks® and Dunkin Donuts® around the country.

Yet it is only through the identification of perceptual distortions and inversions are we allowed the luxury of authentic perspective.

By removing the limiting perceptions that prevent the experience of a ‘higher’ (subjectively better ) reality, we enter unique states of awareness and the propensity to move into these states effortlessly, say Dr. Neal Smookler.

What Smookler is describing is what Aldous Huxley referred to as The Doors of Perception.

The question then becomes how do we provide the means for the mind to access these ‘doors’?

The answer it seems is revealed in the enigmatic piezoelectric principle, a concept in physics that explains how mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy in crystalline materials. (Woldemar Voigt, Lehrbuch der Kristallphysik 1910.)

Jump from 1910 to 1997. Using The Mind Mirror ®, the research of Dr. Marc Van Craeyenest suggests that when a non-threatening sensory input is provided to the mind-brain system, it will first appear as piezoelectricity which originates deep within the crystalline structures of the brain system.

We know that this sensory compression immediately results in an electric potential or voltage which surges throughout the mind-brain system.

A methodology to access consciousness not by a random input, but by a specialized, deliberate and repeatable manual technique?

Even so, a basic question still hovers – how does the creation of an electrical voltage kick open the doors of perception?

The newly created electrical spark initiates a larger neuronal surge within the cerebral hemispheres causing brain wave frequencies to instantly drop from a 14-21 hertz range (a beta wave associated with our outer consciousness) to a more comfortable 7-14 hertz range (an alpha wave associated with our inner consciousness) with surprising activity in the 1/2 -4 hertz range (a delta wave associated with the superconscious.)

It seems our brain possesses the hardware, the nervous system the software – that allows the mind to access these ‘doors’ and seamlessly stair step from outer to inner to super (consciousness) with a little assist from piezoelectricity.

Throw in a dash of élan vital, a pinch of vitalism and a way to facilitate it all and you have a recipe for enhanced consciousness.

When the cover story of the May 7, 2001 Newsweek is God And The Brain. How We’re Wired For Spirituality, we can be relatively certain societies yearning for mindfulness has hit the mainstream. A mainstream that has turned away from Timothy Leary’s conviction that primary consciousness must come from a colorful blotter.

Rather, it now appears, that primary consciousness emerges out of a more piezo-organic mystery. But there’s no need to flower up the mystery as it’s a mystery that works – an effortless way to access varied and beautiful state of clarity and awareness.

What would it be like to by-pass your perceptual filter?

Christian Opitz, a neurophysicist states … “As the piezoelectric waves collapse on themselves – ‘clear seeing’ emerges. In clear seeing the possibility to cultivate a truthful outlook on life is greatly enhanced, and instead of just making the nightmare of struggle a little nicer, we can begin to wake up from it and release into the freedom that is inherently ours.”

Cloudless discernment. One’s newly experienced perceptual field, deep in knowing, beyond expression.

As Massachusetts first Alphabiotic educator and consultant, Dr. Neal Smookler has, for the last quarter century pioneered Developmental Alphabiotics throughout Boston and New England. After opening Boston’s Flagship Alphabiotic Center on Newbury Street in August 1992, he has maintained three full time practices in Boston, Wellesley and now Hopkinton, Massachusetts.

An Uncommon Dialogue. A Conversation with Dr. Neal Smookler (April 1995, The Back Bay.)

What exactly is Alphabiotics?

Developmental Alphabiotics {pronounced Alpha-bee-otics} is a helping system perfect for todays world. It enables people to break free from the restless, *outer-reactive, energy wasting state of being caused by the complexity of stress that so characterizes much of everyday life. Alphabiotics enables us access to levels of wellness, transformation, joy and discovery previously thought unimaginable.





How is that accomplished?

Via a dynamic referred to as The Alphabiotic Integration.



Could you explain that?

Sure. The Alphabiotic Integration is a hands-on touch process that acts as a catalyst, a way of flipping on a switch so to speak, to a higher level of right- brain / left-brain synchronicity. When successful, ones subtle vibratory life energies, or Spirit, come into a fuller, more glorious expression in the mind-body allowing for seemingly miraculous shifts on all planes…and at every level of your being. It can bring you back into harmony with your Divine Essence. The Integration is a facilitation. It frees the innate power, inherent within the mind-body. This renewing essence, when liberated, radiates through one’s being, dissolving instances of physical and mental malaise as light obliterates darkness. Properly utilized, a very real shift in consciousness blossoms.. As we spend sustained time in this new realm of higher brain integration our entire cellular being, as well as our reality (re)-organizes and attunes around the vibratory frequency of new, more positive and loving thought forms. Being elemental to it’s integrity, the new frequency stimuli assist to reinstate the blueprint of the Soul. ** It is this core level phenomenon that is believed to be responsible for the transformation of life experience so often realized. The process takes about a minute and a half.





That’s quite a statement. Is there a starting point to better understand all this?

Of course, but we’ll need to begin with a much discussed topic these days, stress…and it’s relationship to our central nervous system, specifically our brains.



Hold on a minute, you just said, brains! I thought we had only one?

Okay, okay…maybe we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s start with some basics. So sit back and relax. Now, enjoy the ride, because here we go.



Much has been written recently about whole brain function. What’s it all about…Alfie?

The basics are easy to grasp. Our brain is divided into two hemispheres, left and right. In essence we do have two brains! Years of research have shown that each hemisphere seems to possess unique characteristics. In the left side are the abilities of focusing attention, verbal skills, logic, reasoning, and sense of time, linear thought, and detail-oriented traits. The right hemisphere contains functions of intuition, creativity, abstract thought, and free spiritedness. Both halves are equally important. An easy and fluid access to each is crucial, for you to use as you wish, so that you are fully actualized as a person, in touch with all of the things that make you unique and special.



Might you be so kind as to provide an example?

It is difficult to take a standard academic test without access to the left hemisphere, and just as hard to feel a flow of creativity when the right side is shut down. Research has shown that we do not access both sides equally. Almost everyone, for some mysterious reason, has a dominant (active) and subdominant (passive) hemisphere. In other words, we are a population of either left brainers (the bull in the china shop) or right brainers (the free spirit on the mountain top); each group stuck with using one side more than the other. With all that untapped potential, it’s no wonder there is so much interest in finding a way to restore whole brain function. Even so, up to now, little progress has been made.



Is there a common denominator to all this?

Increasingly, more and more evidence is pointing to a simple fact…there really is a prevalent cause behind many of your problems and there is a way to shift into a better mode. To an Alphabioticist, the idea of using only half of your resources is unimaginable. Brain dominance is a fundamental imbalance that can be corrected. And it needs to be corrected because it is not just a mental imbalance; it’s an imbalance with far reaching effects on all levels of physical and social function. Indeed, it’s directly linked to a disproportionate percentage of the internal discord and suffering we feel as human beings, and to the blockages we experience in expressing our full potential.

That is why this information is so important during these very stressful and challenging times. It is by no coincidence that these words have found their way into your hands in the form that you now hold. Life has a way of providing just the right information, to just the right people, at just the right time.



Why is stress so damaging? It’s constantly in the news these days.

It is true that stress is a hot buzzword these days. Most news reports and articles only scratch the surface. We hope to clarify, in the paragraphs ahead, a subject many talk about but few really understand. Alphabiotic Integrations let years of stress dissolve away. Your brain hemispheres are designed for equal access, to operate in harmony, and even to synchronize when experiencing higher states of consciousness, function and potential. However, there is a circumstance when one side demands more energy than the other does. It happens when we react to stress. From earlier states of our evolution we have buried within us automatic responses which trigger under certain conditions. One of those is the stress reaction; the so-called fight or flight response we experience when confronted with danger. It is a survival response.



The town of Bedrock. Is it a place right out of history?

In a natural, non-industrial setting, (hello Fred. hello Wilma) the stressors we encountered were short-lived, life threatening incidents, such as an animal attacking. Instantly, multiple stress switches would be tripped so we could better survive for the next few seconds. Documented changes include: adrenaline pumps, blood pressure rises, pupils dilate for better vision, lungs take in more oxygen, glycogen (sugar) in the liver converts to glucose for increased energy and so on. Something else happens. We drop into a mid to lower level of brain function (limbic function) and simultaneously begin to lose access to our subdominant (passive) hemisphere. It partially shuts down. Your brain then marshals the majority of its energy into a single dominant hemisphere (brain lateralization). For most people, it’s the left hemisphere (about 80%). Now you are fully focusing your attention and energy outward, ready for action. Remember this concept. It is critical in understanding how stress depletes our life energy resources. In seconds, the danger passes or you deal with it and survive. Soon the fight or flight system shuts down, the stress switches close and you return to normal. We are well designed to respond when faced with this type of high level input, a stress that has a definitive beginning and ending.



Isn’t stress today a little different?

Stress today is a lot different, both in its inherent nature and sheer volume. Science knows that our stress levels mathematically increase every ten to fifteen years. Nowadays our stress is chronic, pervasive and unrelenting. Your boss nags you constantly, you’re stuck in traffic or your upstairs neighbors are having their fourth late night party this week. The stress switches trigger, and you prepare for war. Only, you cannot take action. You can’t punch out the boss or assault your neighbor. Instead, you just stuff it.

In reality, the stress response known as fight or flight can be renamed for modern times as the fight, flight or freeze response. Our natural stress response does not help us deal with the challenges of modern life. It is this relentless low-grade stress that grinds on us everyday- just below the war threshold, but way above normal. This causes our danger response mechanism to get confused and leave more and more stress switches on all the time, as if on emergency standby.

To an Alphabioticist, the most significant switches that stay on are the ones regulating the two hemispheres. The brain, now focusing energy and resources outwards, begins to stay in the dominant hemisphere. Eventually, over time we begin to lose the ability to shift to the other side. The chronic nature of today’s stress locks us into a destructive mode of perpetual readiness, which becomes damaging on all levels. This is how imbalance creeps into our life. And it’s just the beginning, because brain dominance has a cascade effect on the rest of our life.



Has anybody here seen my old friend Martin…can you tell me where he’s gone?

With this response elicited, we lock into a mode of survival, defense and fear. Life becomes very one-dimensional. We are almost never in the present moment. Instead we spend all of our time feeling bad or guilty about something that happened in the past…or worried about the future. We become stuck in our False-self, then wonder why we attract turmoil, lack and uneccesary drama. It’s as if there’s no peace. You, and for that matter those around you, wonder what ever happened to the old you. Where did all the expression of your Full-self go? Through the Integrative State, members access very high levels of brain function. Members access that part of the brain known as the neocortex. This allows us to experience who we truly are once again. Change becomes inevitable.
