What is Enlightenment

Imagine it is possible to "wake up" from the awareness we are in now, just like waking from
sleep...

How would we feel about the stresses of our personal lives when seen from the perspective of
this Ultra Awakened state? Might they also fade as dreams do?

It is well known that the brain is an electrochemical organ; researchers have speculated that a
fully functioning brain can generate as much as 10 watts of electrical power.

Electrical activity emanating from the brain is measurable in the form of brainwaves. There are
generally four categories of these brainwaves, each with its own corresponding states of
awareness:

BETA - 13-30 cycles per second (Hz) - awaking awareness, extroversion, concentration, logical
thinking - active conversation.

ALPHA - 7-13 Hz - relaxation times, non-arousal, meditation, hypnosis.

THETA - 4-7 Hz - day dreaming, dreaming, creativity, meditation, paranormal phenomena, out
of body experiences, ESP, shamanic journeys.

DELTA - 1.5-4 Hz - deep dreamless sleep.

In rare cases consistent activity can be measured as "fast" brain waves, at about 40 Hz, which
are known as the gamma band. GAMMA brainwaves appear to be involved in higher mental
activity, including perception and consciousness.

This higher awareness also seems to go with activation/activity of the frontal lobes of the
brain, which are underactive in the mass of humanity. The average person is for the most part
caught in the awareness created by the chronically overactive parietal lobes (located behind
the ears), which are stimulated by the primitive "reptillian" brain that governs fight or flight
responses.

It has long been said that we only use 10 percent of our total mental capabilities, and
considering for example that Buddha simply means Awakened, might these higher states of
awareness be what "enlightened beings" have been trying to get us to wake up to for
thousands of years?

Fortunately it is now possible to find out for ourselves - as the phenomenon of Deeksha has
been scientifically proven to "wake up" the higher brain centres.

There are at this moment several studies being conducted into the positive effects of Deeksha
on the brain, an excellent example of a study concluded in January 2006 on a group receiving
Deeksha over 21 days, is given below:

Brain Research in Golden City, India, January 2006

An EEG brainmapping study of 12 participants in the 21-day process in Golden City in January
2006 was conducted by a research team consisting of:

* Erik Hoffmann, Research Director, New Brain-New World, Copenhagen

* Harald Kjellin, Professor, Stockholm University, Sweden
* Inger Spindler, Neurotherapist, New Brain-New World, Copenhagen

"Quantative EEG and Brainmaps were made of the 12 participants before and after the process
in order to document changes in their brain functions. They were also interviewed before and
after the course. Here is a brief summary of the results:

We analyzed 26 EEG variables and only found statistically significant changes in a few of these
after the process. A solid finding was a strong tendency for the two brain hemispheres to
function more symmetrically following the process. This balancing of the left and the right
brain was most pronounced in the posterior (occipital-parietal) areas where this tendency
toward symmetry was found in 11 out of the 12 subjects. In technical terms, the right/left
mean ratio of Alpha waves (8-12Hz) during baseline with eyes closed changed for the group
mean from 1.18 to 1.04 where 1.00 is absolute symmetry between the hemispheres.

Another interesting finding was an increase of fast Gamma wave activity (25-42Hz) in the
frontal lobes after the process. Since these measurements demanded some special equipment,
we were only able to measure six out of the 12 subjects. However all six subjects showed
substantial increases of Gamma activity in the prefrontal cortex. Actually the mean Gamma
amplitudes increased from 10.5 to 15.8 microvolts with open eyes which is an increase of
about 50%.

We believe that the changes we found following the 21-day process demonstrate improved
brain functions. Better hemispheric symmetry reflects improved cooperation and
communication between the right and the left brain, and the increased Gamma in the frontal
area indicates an activation of what we call the 'New Brain' which is crucial for the awakening
process and the oneness state.

With this small group of 12 people, we did not find any significant correlation between the
scores from the questionnaire and the EEG data, except for one important variable. The two
people who benefited the most from the 21-day process, according to the psychological
evaluation, both had exceptionally high frontal Gamma levels. They were actually both
considered to be in the awakened state.

The finding of increased Gamma in the frontal lobes seems to be very significant. Professor
Richard Davidson, University of Wisconsin found in spiritually evolved Zen monks very high
levels of Gamma activity in the frontal area. During deep meditation, on for example
thankfulness, the Gamma level increased even further. Thus High Gamma levels, especially in
the left prefrontal area of the brain seems to be the trade mark of enlightenment."

Deeksha and the Brain www.newbrainnewworld.com

We had the opportunity to do some preliminary EEG brainmapping studies on a young

spiritually evolved woman from Sweden. She is a disciple of Amma and Bhagavan of the
Golden City in Southern India.

We recorded eight channels of EEG while she was resting with closed and open eyes and while
she was giving Deeksha to a number of persons. We also recorded the EEG and brainmaps of
several persons before and after they received Deeksha from our test subject.

These studies were done in the Spring of 2005 at New Brain – New World in Symbion Science
Park, Copenhagen. We are aware that none of the hypotheses and speculations put forward
here can be verified before more controlled studies have been done.

The Deeksha Energy seems to be transmitted through the Brain’s left prefrontal Area
We hypothesize that the Deeksha (energy transfer between two persons) initiates Kundalini
Awakening and prepares for a shift in the brain’s command center. On several occasions we
had the opportunity to record the EEG of our test subject while she was giving Deeksha to
other persons.

Before the Deeksha, the transmitting person connected to her inner Guru (Amma or
Bhagavan). After that she looked the receiving person in the eyes for a short period of time
and, while closing her eyes, she then put her hands on the recipient’s head while concentrating
on transmitting the energy. The below brainmaps show the different phases of the Deeksha
process.
