阿尔法之旅——赛斯带领ESP班学员做脑波练习

《与赛斯对话》卷二 附录一

班上利用阿尔法出神进行好玩的意识之旅，常常玩得很开心；那是每位读者都很熟悉的一种状态——当你在做白日梦，比方说，或沉浸在一本书里，或正在写一封信的时候，你轻轻往旁边跨出的一步。从阿尔法浮现的影像和讯息，不同于我们以为是平常焦点集中的心智模式中，立刻就认得出来的那些影像和讯息。我们的阿尔法实验总是产生令人着迷的东西。

通常，珍会讲述这些旅程，直接编成一场自发的小型旅行见闻讲座，她轻快的声音温柔地带着我们上路（有时候仿佛来自好几个世纪以前）。这篇附录是有一回赛斯亲自上阵，带我们做了一连串类似有氧课程那样的脑波练习——这一步！那一步！不过话说回来，很好玩，而且令人心旷神怡。

好，我想要说几句话，而他（鲁柏）担心吵到楼上那位男士，要我讲话小声点。当我的老朋友（瑞秋）在那里的时候，我很难小声说话，而且，要不是太晚的话，我还想要人们大声欢呼“穆”(Mu)咧。以后有机会我再教你们怎样发出耳语的“穆”。信不信由你，那更难呢。（“穆”的注释见文末）

好，大家晚安，我要你们做的就是这个。现在很晚了，所以我们只是试航。这将会在阿尔法状态，所以闭上你们的眼睛，我要给你们来一段摇篮曲。

现在想像你选的任何东西，但是要有代表阿尔法1的一条线或一个平台。在心里把它作为一个相邻意识的象征，也许放在与你的眼睛同一水平的位置上。你想做什么就做什么。想像一条路，而你自己，比方说，是那条路上的一个小人影。想像一条路，你站在那条路上。好，我待会儿要你想像其他像这样的路线，所以先为你自己选一个你可以用的影像。清楚看见你自己在这条线或这条路或小径上面。如果你比较喜欢地板也可以，但你要看见自己站在它上面，因为它代表A-1。

现在想像另外一条相邻的线或路，与你正常的意识平行，而且离得更远。现在暂停，感觉一下你从这一条移到另一条线或路上，你的意识有什么不同。这一条代表A-2。

现在再想像第三条线或路，一样平行相邻。一边做，一边检视意识的感觉。现在这一次移动到更远的另一条小径或路上，你叫它A-4，它距离你的正常意识更远。现在想像还有另外一条线，我们叫A-5。

好，我们在这里暂停一下。你可以的话，就想像你回头看你身后那四条相邻的平行道路。现在转身，回到前一条路A-4。再回到A-3，然后回到A-2。现在小心地走回A-1，然后暂停。感受一下你自己的意识在这一点的感觉。

现在，想像从A-1往上踏一步，不是相邻，也不是平行，而是在它之上，感觉你自己踏了上去。我们称它为A-1-a，但是名称没什么影响。停在那里，想像自己向下看向A-1，但是站在原地不动。

现在，在你的上方，你会看到另外一层台阶，再次踏上这一阶，注意你自己的感觉和你的意识有什么改变。在这之上还有一层。现在踏上这一层，再次注意你自己的感觉或你的意识有什么改变。在这之上还有另一层。现在踏上来，然后暂停。

想像你往下看。看着你一路走来的其他意识层面。现在，非常缓慢地，回到之前的

层面，继续一步一步慢慢往下走，直到你再度回到原来的A-1，你开始的地方为止。

好，在A-1，要知道这些其他的意识层面全都随手可及，感觉A-1是活动的一个门坎，是进入其他各类的感知和意识的一个门户。

好，脚步非常轻地，从A-1走回你的正常意识状态，然后打开你的眼睛。

现在我要让鲁柏回来。

好，这等同于音阶。所以呢，我要你们每个人自己练习。我不会说熟能生巧，但至少给你们一个机会。

好，我祝你们大家有个美好的夜晚。但是我也要你们在晚上睡觉时试试这些练习，你们会有一些绝佳的投射。你们也会有一些别的经验，所以我建议你们那时候试试这些。你们可以把时间延长，你们知道。我们今天晚上做的速度很快。

注：“穆”（Mu）的吟诵，和它的同类“嗡”（om）一样，这两个字音都被许多静心团体和教派使用，原因很多，而其中之一是，利用声音和能量维持轻微的出神状态。班上用“穆”来传送能量，或者有时只为了好玩——但每次我们比赛看谁能唱这个音唱最久，赢的都是珍！

APPENDIX 1

 An Alpha Journey

CLASS OFTEN ENJOYED MAKING fun trips through consciousness using the alpha trance, a state familiar to every reader—it’s the gentle side-step you take while you’re daydreaming, for example, or lost in a book, or writing a letter. The images and information that can emerge from alpha are different from those in what we think of as the usual focused mind-set, and immediately recognizable as such. Our experiments with alpha always yielded fascinating stuff.

Usually Jane would narrate these journeys by simply making up a spontaneous little travelog, her light, quick voice gently pulling us along (sometimes seemingly from centuries away). This appendix is one occasion in which Seth did the honors, leading us through a series of brain-wave exercises reminiscent of an aerobics class-this step! That step! Yet again, it was fun, and refreshing.

Class Session of September 7, 1971

Now I wanted to say a few words, and he [Ruburt] is worried about the gentleman upstairs and wants me to keep my voice down. It is difficult for me to keep my voice down when my old friend [Rachael] is over there, and if it were not too late, I would have you all Mu a good loud and cheery Mu. Sometime I will show you how to do a whispered Mu. Believe it or not, it is more difficult.

Now, good evening to you, and what I want you to do is this. It is late, so we will only have a trial run. This will be in alpha state, so close your eyes, and I will give you a lullaby.

Now imagine anything that you choose, but have a line or a platform that represents alpha 1. Have it in your mind as a symbol of adjacent consciousness at the same level, perhaps, as your eyes. Do whatever you choose. Imagine a road and yourself as a small figure on the line, for example. Imagine a road and yourself upon it. Now I will want you shortly to imagine other such lines of roads, so pick an image for yourself, that you can use. See yourself clearly on this line or road or path. You may use a floor if you prefer, but see yourself upon it, for this will represent A-1.

Now imagine another adjacent road or line parallel and still further away from your normal consciousness. Now pause to feel the difference in your consciousness as you move from one line or road to another. And this one represents A-2.

Now imagine again a third line or path, still parallel and adjacent. Examine the feel of your consciousness as you do so. Move now further on this time to another path or road that you will call A-4, and that is still further in distance from your normal consciousness. Now imagine still another line which we will call A-5.

Now here, pause for a moment. If you can, imaginatively look behind you to see those other four roads or paths that run adjacently and parallel. Now turn, step back to the previous road or path to A-4. Step again back to A-3. Step again back to A-2. Now carefully step back to A-1 and pause. Feel your own consciousness at this point.

And now imagine a step above A-1. Not adjacent or parallel, but above, and feel yourself step up upon it. And we will call it A-l-a, though the names make little difference. Pause there and imaginatively look down to A-I, but hold your position.

Now above you, you will see another step. Go up this step again and notice the changes in the feel of yourself and of your consciousness. Above this is still another. Now step up this one, noticing again any change in the feel of yourself or in your consciousness. Above this is still another. Now step up here and pause.

Imaginatively look down. Look at the other levels of consciousness from which you have come. Now very slowly, come back to the previous level, and keep coming down each step slowly until you reach again the original A-1 from which you began.

Now, at A-1. realize that all these other levels of consciousness are also available with the feeling of A-1 as a threshold of activity, as a doorway into other kinds of perception and consciousness.

Now, very gently step from A-1 back to your normal state of consciousness and open your eyes. 

Now I will let Ruburt return.

Now, this is the equivalent of scales. So I want you all to practice on your own. I will not say that practice makes perfect, but at least it gives you a chance.

Now, I bid you all a fond good evening. But I want you to try these exercises as you fall to sleep at night, and you will have some excellent projections. You will also have some other experiences, so I suggest that you try these at that time. You may prolong the time, you see. We did this quickly this evening.
