Nancy Moneagle: Interview Archive
Almost every one of our programs works toward the same thing, and a big part of it comes down to unloading. People arrive carrying belief systems that stopped serving them a long time ago. I mentioned some of these before. "I don't think I'm a good person." "I'm not making enough money." "I haven't provided enough for my family." "I don't own the right clothes, I'm not driving the right car." On and on it goes. Once someone starts moving into these other states of mind, and we hand them the tools to get there on their own, a lot of that weight simply falls away. They practice the methods here, go home, and keep applying them.
What happens, Erik, is that you drop into a very deep place. Picture the most profound meditation you've ever experienced, the kind where insight arrives from somewhere the busy little conscious mind can't normally reach. When you open up to states where that information can flow in, you're free to do whatever you want with it. The only ceiling is your own imagination.
Because of that, we see real changes in people's lives. One man who came through is a physicist. He designed an entirely new experiment for a question he'd been sitting on, and he's working with Joe on it now. Something about using remote viewing to demonstrate how this new nuclear reactive energy behaves. The idea came to him, I believe, precisely because he could finally reach those different states. Up to that point he'd been locked in discursive, step-by-step reasoning instead of letting himself settle into a focus of consciousness that sits very far from how we usually pay attention.
Artists have come in and their work has shifted too. Some moved into completely new ways of painting. Watching that unfold has been a joy.
We've also had Baptist ministers, Catholic priests, and plenty of other religious people walk through the door, along with atheists. There's a particular moment when one of them suddenly goes, "Oh my God, this is astounding." They don't usually abandon their faith over it. What they gain is a clearer sense of their connection, to God, to Allah, to Buddha, whatever name fits their tradition. And that's the part I find fascinating, seeing how it lands differently depending on where each person started. If someone has a peak experience, it filters through their own orientation. It happened to me. I was raised Methodist, after all.
