Principles behind Levitation, October 16, 2004
This review is from: Buddha's Neuronet for Levitation (Fireside Series, Vol. 2, No. 4) (Paperback)
I have to say first that if you're looking for a "technique" that will teach you how to "levitate", you will be utterly disappointed with this book. You'd be better off looking into "how to" books from eastern esoteric tradition (Taoist Inner Alchemy, nei kung) or from western esoteric tradition (even a book "Initiation into Hermetics").
If you don't have any esoteric understanding, the Buddha's Neuronet for Levitation, may not be helpful to you at all - the words in it will go over your head, so to speak.
On the other hand, yes, the book does accurately describe how consciousness affects the energy field which then creates changes in one's neurology.
Now, it doesn't matter if you are using the language from western spiritual traditions, or language from oriental traditions (together with complex techniques), or the language of quantum physics - before you'd get anywhere with levitation, you'd have to embrace the worldview in which everything is made out of energy/spirit, the worldview in which your body is made out of this same energy and where your thoughts direct and manipulate this energy. It is simply just a shift in consciousness, but in this shift, in this worldview - your body is in your mind (as opposite to the common western worldview where your mind is in your body and which will get you absolutely nowhere if you desire to experiment with levitation).
To create this shift in consciousness, you can sit down every day and begin with imagining and feeling yourself embracing, and being the allness of the universe, stretching across time and space. Thoughts and emotions create a vibration. And this simple little meditation will help you to change the vibration of your body. Simply put while you are holding in your mind thoughts of the physical world, your are lowering the vibration of your body (your body also being energy - and if you need help with this concept, you may also pick a little book on quantum physics "dimensional structure of consciousness"), when you are holding in your mind thoughts of all (of all being spiritual or mind-like in nature), you are raising the vibration of your body, creating a gravitational pull upward - leaving the gravitational field of the earth.
The above is not exactly explained in that way in this book (the book uses more complex language), but there is one simple truth in there - that the higher vibration "consumes", "eats up", lower vibration.
To provide some examples which may seem to be more down-to-earth or closer to something you can experiment it and get instant results even now is - working with the vibration of love.
Love is the highest feeling vibration, light is the highest visible vibration and either one will do for your experiments.
If you have any inharmonious condition in your life and you imagine directing love or light to it, so that that condition (or perhaps a person who is giving you a hard time, or if you have an ailment in your body, then your body) is entirely saturated with love and light - you'd in effect raise the vibration of the particular condition and there would be no more problem.
You may be familiar with the records from the lives of different "saints", who at the time of rapture, in moments of utter devotion, found themselves lifted off the ground. Whatever you "love" you become it "vibrationally". Love is that which creates gravitational pull on your body - upward or downward. When you love something with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, you direct your entire energy toward it, your energy field changes and you become it. Holding in your mind and heart the infinite is one way of creating a gravitational pull upward. As a matter of fact if you were to spend even half-an-hour a day loving the All, with every last bit your energy, with all your mind, heart, soul and strength, sending this love out through every cell and atom of your being - you'd instantly feel the changes taking place in the cells of your physical body, because the intensity of your emotion would change your energy field which would in tern have an effect upon your physical body.
If you are looking for more complicated ways, you can pick books that deal with nei kung and teach you numerous practices that will help you to learn how to manipulate the energy.
You may also pick "Yoga Sutras of Patanjali". The method is simple and straightforward, but again, until you get it, unless you are familiar with the terminology, it may seem more complicated than it is. The essence of accomplishing any ability is this: what you focus upon to the exclusion of everything else - you become. You just have to stick with it, or rather learn how to create one-pointed focus and be able to maintain it long enough to get the desired results.
Going from one book to another, looking for a "quick fix", may provide some intellectual satisfaction, but there's no way around sitting down and working on the change in your consciousness - whatever method you choose to experiment with.
You'll also get much further and much faster if you begin your experiments in manipulating the energy with goals that take much less time to get the results. Each success you achieve using your mind-power to create desired outcomes in your life, will condition your subconscious with more and more success and you'll be moving forward at a steady pace.

I want my nine bucks back., August 21, 2006
This review is from: Buddha's Neuronet for Levitation (Fireside Series, Vol. 2, No. 4) (Paperback)
OK, this is my first experience with Ramtha, other than the DVD "What the Bleep Do We Know?" ...
In this small book you'll learn that thoughts levitate above your head, and eat your past, because they are at a higher vibration. Also, when you levitate, you eat gravity. And when sound waves peak and trough closer together, they are actually lower in frequency, not higher (someone give Ramtha an oscilloscope!).
As a bonus, there's a glossary in back of Ramtha-specific terms explained and sporting (SM) marks so it seems JZ is protecting her rights to make up terms. I don't remember the Buddha filing any trademarks, do you?
Ugh. Rambling nonsense.
