Dr. Gary Robert Buchanan spoke at the 2012 Cosolargy Conference on “Sonatherapy and Cosolargy: The Future of Healing.” His presentation addressed the purpose of Cosolargy and the relation of Cosolargy to ancient Vedic and Buddhist teachings, emphasizing the image of the Heart in these ancient teachings. The presentation also described the important concept of enantiodromia, as discussed by Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and recently by Manfred Clynes, who defined the process as “sentic response” in reference to the lower force centers.

Dr. Buchanan’s talk primarily discussed present research into the physical and psychological applications of the revolutionary new healing modality known as “Sonatherapy,” or Wave Front BIOresonance, which combines light, color, sound, water and subtle energies, to assist healing of the body, mind, and psyche, and the future of Sonatherapy and other spiritually based healing therapies.

Biographical Note:
Dr. Buchanan is a composer, orchestra conductor, educator, theologian, therapist, and the Director of Wave Front BIOresonance Research at Steamboat Hot Springs Healing Center in Reno. He is the author of the 2008 landmark publication SONA: Healing with Wave Front BIOresonance, which is now being used worldwide in alternative healing clinics as a Sonatherapy training text. With degrees and certificates from institutions where he has both studied and taught around the world, Dr. Buchanan has been with Cosolargy International since 1975, serving on the faculties of the Jamilian University and the Jamilian Parochial School. He is also Vice President of the Andean Explorers Foundation, Founding Conductor of the Foundation Orchestra, editor, sound engineer, and researcher in vibrational healing.

Dr. Stephan Fuelling’s presentation at the 2012 Cosolargy Conference was titled “Synchronicity, Intent, and Conscious Creation.” Dr. Fuelling addressed synchronicity, or “meaningful coincidence,” through a series of personal experiences as well as through the use of the I Ching and other ancient arts of divination from the perspective of modern physics and to bring about changes. He also described how our inner personal world connects to the outer world from the perspective of modern physics, how Carl Jung’s concept of synchronicity relates to the alchemical concept of Unus Mundus (One World), how the physicist’s tale “Schrodinger’s cat” explains the workings of quantum being, and how the “Copenhagen concept” explains the fact that if something can’t be seen it doesn’t exist. His talk closed with a plug for the global consciousness project at Princeton ( http://noosphere.princeton.edu/ ).

Puran and Susanna Bair spoke at the 2012 Cosolargy Conference on “The Coming Times and the Culture of the Heart.” Their presentation addressed the coming cataclysms (natural, political, economic, and social), the new awakening of humanity to divinity, the concept of the sun as a broadcasting system of new information, and changes from the present culture of mind to one of the heart. Their presentation also provided practical tools for each person’s contribution to the transformation that is taking place in our time and a basic sense of the practice of their “I Am You” experience and its effects as a purification process. Central to their teaching and practice is their technique of Heart Rhythm Meditation, which they identify as an ancient technique that they have updated using modern science, biofeedback, Heart Math instruments of measurement, and the concept of a “responsive heart.”

Biographical Note:
The Bairs are cofounders of the Institute for Applied Meditation (IAM) in Tucson, Arizona, and coauthors of Energize Your Heart in 4 Dimensions. They have taught meditation throughout the world to tens of thousands of people over the last 35 years and have been called pioneers in the development of heart-rhythm meditation. Puran is known for his development of the scientific instrumentation used to measure the physiological effects of this type of meditation and has a background in computer science, electrical engineering, environmental energy, and finance.

Dr. James L. Oschman’s presentation at the 2012 Cosolargy Conference was titled “Cosmic Thinking and Being” and addressed the themes of how to think cosmically; what goes on in the Unconscious; Cosolargy and energy medicine; human interconnectedness with the living cosmos; the convergence of quantum physics, quantum biology, cosmology and Cosolargy; and the relationship of the human heart and the solar heart. Oschman addressed these topics by taking the audience through a sequence of his “meetings with remarkable people”: Edgar Mitchell, the Apollo 14 astronaut who founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences; Rudolph Schild, the Arizona-based astrophysicist who tells us to forget about the “Big Bang” and to understand that so-called “Dark Matter” is Consciousness (see his book of collected essays, Consciousness and the Universe); Buckminster Fuller and his “bucky balls”; Neil Tyson, author of the 1957 article on stellar physics “Synthesis of the Elements in the Stars,” who tells us “the universe is in us”; G. I. Gurdjieff, who told us of the cosmic clock and man’s stolen spiritual birthright; Duane Elgin and his concept of the creation of the universe and its waves of creation; Vladimir Ginzburg, author of  Prime Elements of Ordinary Matter, Dark Matter & Dark Energy  , who conceived of the living universe; Aiden Dwyer, the 13-year-old who designed the solar tree ; the Filpino villagers who used plastic water bottles filled with water and planted in ceiling holes to serve as light bulbs; and the “mundane angel” who had once informed Oschman that angelic entities are interested in the work he is doing.

Biographical Note:

MONDAY–TUESDAY 9/24–25/2012
The 2012 Annual Convocation of Consociates of the International Community of Christ/Cosolargy began on Monday September 24, with, as usual, two days of marathon residence training classes for those Consociates who needed to fulfill these requirements. These were held in the Chapel of the Holy Child.

WEDNESDAY 9/26
All Consociates gathered on Wednesday morning at the Chancellery vestibule for registration and orientation and then proceeded to Red Rock Consecrated Sanctuary for Counsels Lectures on liturgical theology and liturgical training techniques by the Right Reverend Gene Savoy Jr. at the Sanctuary’s Monastery Gardens. The weather was inviting, and a refreshment tent had been set up adjacent to the lecture area.

Following Rt. Rev. Savoy’s morning lecture, attendees made their way over to the outdoor refectory for a wonderful luncheon prepared by Convocation Coordinator Francine Petrovich and aides. After a relaxing lunch break, attendees reassembled at the Monastery Gardens for the afternoon lecture and an introduction to some advanced solar techniques.

Following the conclusion of Counsels lectures (around 3 p.m.), an optional tour of the Sanctuary’s newly completed water project was given by the Reverends Ted Staver and Herman Aggenbach, who have coordinated the project over its development over the last several years. The water distribution system that has been installed makes both water and electrical power available at most locations in the Sanctuary Southland, thus allowing for the building of homes for those Consociates who choose to live on the property in the future. The tour lasted about three hours, after which Consociates returned to their homes or hotels. The evening was free for scheduled visits to the Steamboat Hot Springs Spa.

THURSDAY–FRIDAY 9/27–28

Thursday morning found Convocation Consociates and members of the public gathering at the Emerald Room of the Atlantis Casino Resort and Spa in south Reno for the Third Annual Spiritual State of the World Conference hosted by Cosolargy International. The theme of this year’s conference was the Dawn of the Golden Age of Light: Transformation through Cosmic Solar Intelligence. At 9 a.m. the conference was opened by Master of Ceremonies Francine Petrovich, who gave a welcome and introduced the keynote speaker, world-renowned biophysicist Dr. James Oschman, who gave a multimedia presentation on “Cosmic Thinking and Being.”

The second presentation of the morning was given by the husband-and-wife team of Puran and Susanna Bair, founders of the Institute for Applied Meditation and the University of the Heart. Their theme was the coming times and the culture of the heart. Time was then taken for a lunch break.

After a luncheon in the Napa Bistro on the premises, which the hotel opened just for the conferees’ convenience, the afternoon session began with Dr. Stephan Fuelling’s presentation on synchronicity, intent, and conscious creation. It was followed by Dr. Gary Buchanan’s take on the future of healing, and how his Sonatherapy® and Cosolargy will play a part. The first day’s presentations were concluded with Dr. Jacob Liberman’s presentation, titled “Stop Looking and Start Seeing.” Thus ended the first day of the conference, and the evening was free for spa visits, socializing, reflecting on the day, or whatever one felt moved to do.

Friday morning began at 9 a.m. with Dr. Karl Maret’s multimedia presentation on living in an electric universe. It was, as usual, packed with information and quite fascinatingly presented.

Next came a hands-on presentation by artist Dr. Rowena Kryder, who talked about consciousness aspects of the new Golden Age of Light and gave the participants some exercises to do to help focus consciousness, including the use of a new set of “consciousness cards” that she designed and makes available in book form under the title Soul Fire.

After another pleasant luncheon in the Napa Bistro, the final presentations were delivered by Sean Savoy, who spoke on linking oneself with the New Sun to activate Consciousness; singer/songwriter, storyteller, and native culture enthusiast Jim Eaglesmith, who shared some of his music and chants, including one in Aramaic in which the audience participated, along the theme of “we are one in 2012”; and finally, the concluding presentation by Gene Savoy Jr. on the Golden Age of Light.

On Friday evening, after a break, Consociates had the option (which most took) to attend the annual banquet of the Andean Exploration Foundation and Ocean Sailing Club, held at the Atlantis Hotel’s Paradise Room. The evening included a bagpipe memorial tribute to members who had died; slide presentations of Project X expeditions to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Korea, and Japan; and the awarding of medals of participation and support for foundation members. During the meal, attendees were treated to Indian sarod music and Japanese traditional dance.

The day began before dawn with Jubilee Sunrise Divine Service (the “Jubilee” referring to the concluding celebration of the Pannuches rite), a concelebrated service wherein all ordained members were vested. The service was also an interfaith service and held at the Cathedral Church of the Americas, as is customary during Convocation. After the service the Reverend Diana Carragher received third-level ordination (to the presbyterate). The services were followed by a grand breakfast buffet at the open-air Refectory.

At 1 p.m., the annual Spiritual State of the World Conference was concluded back at the Atlantis Hotel with a roundtable discussion with the conference presenters and invited guests, after which a brief closing reception was held. Thus ended another successful, inspiring Convocation and World Conference marking the auspicious year of 2012.

The website for the film Solar (R)evolution tells us that world-renowned German biophysicist Dieter Broers makes a compelling case for a remarkable correlation between increases in solar activity and advances in humankind’s creative, mental, and spiritual abilities.

On the website Broers gives this personal note:

“We are at a pinnacle time at which all of our senses are telling us that we are approaching a turning point. Humankind is (we are) in the middle of an all-encompassing process of change. In the external world we are experiencing an increase in the density of events, not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively in their intensity. We realize that a significant number of these events correlate with our own inner mental and emotional processes.

“The increasingly ineluctable confrontations with these processes inevitably lead to a change of consciousness. It appears as if each one of us is challenged to his limits. At the point of our limits, we are faced with a decision. The decision to either continue to engage with the existing structures, or to take a new approach. On this new path, we recognize our true and divine potential. It is the path from the illusion of separation to wholeness. On our journey, our consciousness is expanding rapidly. It extends to increasingly frequent moments of insight facilitating this big decision.

“Our sun contributes significantly to this process of change. . . .”

Emperor Wu-tsung (Wuzong)

Two dynastic generations after the Monument was raised, a period of time shorter than a single lifetime, the monasteries suffered the humiliation of mortal dissolution, as had the benefactor Mar Iazed-buzid before them. (See Supplement 32) In 845, the monastery buildings were confiscated by imperial decree; the monks were returned to secular life so they might pay taxes; and the Stone was buried in the earth, where it remained for nearly 800 years. (See Supplement 33)

Mar Iazed-buzid, who had striven to restore the visible Church with riches and good works, was perhaps no more presumptuous than I, who have striven to recollect his life from a single short account and a modest audit of history.

SUPPLEMENTS

Supplement 32:
The Ebbing Dynasty of Tang

Emperor Wu-tsung (Wuzong)

Under Emperor Wu-tsung (reigned 840–847) the dynasty had gone through a period of crisis. After the Uighur Empire fell and internal strife in Tibet destroyed all semblance of central power there, Chinese authority once again spread into the territories of the Northwest. While these foreign affairs were still in the balance, Emperor Wu-tsung faced another internal rebellion, this time in southern Shensi. Now the culminating wave of financial crisis, which had been building during the reign that preceded his, broke. Like Te-tsung and Hsien-tsung before him, Wu-tsung was a deeply committed Taoist, and he decided to solve his problems by suppressing the Buddhist monasteries and sequestering their wealth on a vast scale. (Tai-tsung, the second emperor of Tang, put himself in power in similar fashion before Rabban A-lo-pen’s arrival in 635.) Other foreign religions suffered the same fate. Although Wu-tsung’s successor, Hsuan-tsung, (reigned 874–859) swiftly rescinded these measures – their impact had been profound both on Buddhism and on Chinese society, which had become completely permeated with Buddhist (foreign) influence – it was too late. The power of the dynasty itself was slowly ebbing. The Tang dynasty lingered on for thirty more years, then ended.

Supplement 33:
A Note on the Burial of the Monument

Luminous Teaching Stone of China

During the so-called Ta-chin Rebellion (783–784), it was said that one of the leaders of the rebellion, Chiao Lin, hid in a “saint-visited monastery.” This was perhaps the monastery at Wu-chun. In 784, after the emperor had beheaded the chiefs of the rebellion, he could have ridden back to Chang-an past this same monastery. If the Monument had been erected here, the emperor might have ordered it buried or else the monks might have buried the Stone themselves in order to protect it. The words “Ta-chin” were inscribed on it in large characters. If the Stone was not buried in one of these ways in 784, it was certainly buried in 845 after the imperial edict was decreed.

“Is it possible that galactic and solar events are exerting an impact on earth’s climate far more than any human activities? And is it possible that these celestial events are affecting us in many more ways than just the climate? Finally, is it possible that ancient cultures, such as the Mayans, anticipated these changes?

“In a far-ranging conversation that travels to the center of our galaxy and back, scientific journalist and psychologist Mitch Battros describes the connection between what happens on the sun and what happens on the earth. He speaks about the impact of solar radiation on the earth – not just climate, but earth’s magnetic field, and, in turn, all life on earth. And he talks about an alignment of our solar system in the galaxy, and a beam of galactic particles that may bring significant change.”

Gaiam TV presents an interview with Mitch Battros and host Lisa Garr. Runtime is 1:24:41.
