Wonderful simple, easy to read but deep account of the Dreamtime and shamanistic practices of aboriginal australians. Great explanation of the creation myth and the wisdom passed down by The Great Spirit Baiame, the creator, as he came to earth in human form, which is very similar to Hindu creation story in many ways. Explanation of the world formed by yowies or souls, with 3 main drives as incentives to do the work with their power to mould any type of form they design. The drives are: nutrition, so the physical body continues, sex drive so life can reproduce and third, the ambition and desire to achieve. These 3 will be all the cause of trouble and mischief in Tya, as well as everything positive and productive, each sould has free will to choose. The souls attach to earth by gravity, a circling motion anticlockwise. They also gave them memory, so chaos didnt overpower cosmic order and reason. All forms have 3 bodies. The physical body, the soul or Dowie, and a Mullowill, a protective sheath for the Dowie, from psychic and emotional influences.
The dreamtime is described as the world as thought cells (protoplasm). As a vibrating frequency. If these vibratory frequencies are transmitted through electromagnetism to the physical brain, the thought arises from the unconscious into the region of objectivity. This is also reversed. Another plane of existence overlapping ours at a different vibration, faster than the speed of light, that Shamans connect with, the Dowie.
The dreamtime or Dowie is described as the world of “thought cells”. As a vibrating frequency. “It is built of a substance that is frictionless. Ordinary time, distance and gravitation do not exist. Physical properties like weight and temperature are made possible by the low velocities of physical things. It is thought built and of a velocity greater than the speed of light. Inhabited by all kinds of entities and forms of life, the Dowie is not somewhere in space, it's all about us and it requires only the proper conditions to be contacted at any given time. We know of course that this subtle substance does not communicate motion directly to physical substance. The difference in velocity between the two dimensions seems to be too great for such a direct contact. While ordinary people have very little control over the Dowie, other than receiving the occasional “Flash” message or premonition, or some part or future event, the dimension can be contacted by a proper mental technique which shamans mention: If these vibratory frequencies are transmitted through electromagnetism to the physical brain, the thought arises from the unconscious into the region of objectivity. This is also reversed. A directed thought or electrical message can be passed from the physical brain through the etheric sheath that separates both worlds (The Mullowill) to the receiving spiritual brain located in the Dowie.
Another plane of existence overlapping ours at a different vibration, faster than the speed of light, that Shamans connect with, the Dowie. To get to the core of the Dowie, the shaman travels 7 levels of vibratory frequencies or 7 regions, each one with an increasing speed. The relationship between these regions is vertical in nature, one being above the other not in three dimensional space but in vibratory rate. On the lower levels the forms and processes are similar in detail to those of the life forms here on Earth, yet even those on three lower strata have properties they do not possess on Earth. People for example walk without moving their feet. When they concentrate in a particular environment, they move as though being swept into it. On each of the regions near Earth, the scenery is much the same. There are mountains, trees, flowers, birds and so on just as we find them here. But the colors are more vibrant and intense. The notes of the singing birds are very much clearer and have beauty of tone. On the higher regions the vegetation is even brighter and the creatures there are of higher intelligence, with greater spiritual affinity than those who perform similar functions on earth.
The next dimension is not, according to the Wirinun, some weird strange place. People think much more clearly and comprehensively, feel more intently and act with greater speed. In the first spheres you think of a house, gather the materials and build it. In the inner levels you think of a house and it exists instantly.
The protoplasm (life) of the physical body exists in the form of cells. In a similar manner, the psychoplasm of the Dowie is not an homogeneous mass, but exists in the form of innumerable cells which can be best described as thought cells.”
Ceremonies are made with induced emotion and directed thought by the Wirinun. The two hands act like poles. Right hand positive - gatthers blood there to heal. Left hand, negative, disperses and soothes blood, to lower inflammation. Both hands are placed on top or under, depending. Hands need to have a lot of blood to be charged with electromagnetism and be moist. Jesus asked them to pass on his teaching and to heal with their hands the sick.
