Twelve Facets of Reality Indexed to the 14 QSS Practice Exercises
Gurudev Shree Chitrabhanu
In companion to The Quantum Sixth Sense Mindfulness · David M. Boje (Arihanta)
May the sacred stream of amity flow forever in my heart,
May the universe prosper, such is my cherished desire;
May my heart sing with ecstasy at the sight of the virtuous,
And may my life be an offering at their feet.
May my heart bleed at the sight of the wretched, the cruel, and the poor,
And may tears of compassion flow from my eyes.
May the spirit of goodwill enter into all our hearts —
May we all sing together the immortal song.
— Shree Chitrabhanu · The Immortal Song
How this companion works: Gurudev Shree Chitrabhanu gave Dr. David Boje his Jain spiritual name Arihanta — "you have no enemies, everyone is your friend." Chitrabhanu's twelve bhavanas (reflective meditations from Twelve Facets of Reality: The Jain Path to Freedom, 1980) are the Jain epistemological foundation woven throughout The Quantum Sixth Sense Mindfulness. This page organizes the twelve facets directly under each of the 14 practice exercises (Preface + Chapters 1–13) from the book. Each card includes the exercise's purpose and core steps drawn from the manuscript, a direct link to the full exercise on the QSS Practices page, and the Chitrabhanu bhavana(s) that provide its Jain philosophical grounding — with seed thoughts for pre-practice meditation.

Purpose from the Manuscript
The gateway to the entire book. Seven mindfulness blocks — (1) mental noise, (2) restlessness, (3) future-fixation, (4) past-looping, (5) attachment to what cannot change, (6) self-criticism, (7) paralyzing doubt — are collapsed localist storylines that sever non-local knowing. The leaf-stream visualization is not relaxation; it is the operational quantum release protocol that restores the antenarrative field so the Four Clairs can function. This meditation is from Pramoda Chitrabhanu and must be performed before every chapter practice.
Core Steps (10–30 min)
Spine upright, palms open upward. Four slow breaths (4-count in, 4-hold, 6-count out) — the longer exhale shifts brainwaves toward Alpha (8–12 Hz) where the Clairs begin to operate.
Visualize a clear, luminous mountain stream. Broad leaves float downstream toward a vast, kind ocean that receives everything without judgment.
Scan for whichever of the seven blocks is most active today. Name it silently: "I notice future-fixation is present." Naming makes the waveform visible without amplifying it.
Gather the full texture of the block — thoughts, images, physical sensations — and place it gently onto the broadest leaf. Watch it float downstream until out of sight. Return attention to the clear stream.
Repeat for each active block. Most sessions require two or three releases before the field clears.
Set intention: "I am willing to receive whatever the field has to offer." Rest in the open field for at least five minutes. Record any impressions immediately in your non-local journal.
Chitrabhanu Bhavanas for This Exercise
Bhavana One — Anitya & Nitya
The Changeless Beneath the Changes
Each block is an anitya wave — temporary, impermanent; the clear stream is nitya — the changeless field beneath it
Each of the seven blocks is anitya — a crystallized thought-form that the mind mistakes for permanent reality. Mental noise, past-looping, paralyzing doubt: all are impermanent waves. The leaf-stream practice is Chitrabhanu's first bhavana in action: you see the block as anitya, place it on a leaf, and release it to the ocean of nitya — the changeless field. "The mind tends to take that which is temporary and believe that it is going to last forever." The leaf teaches otherwise.
"Changes are causing us to be aware of the changeless, and the changeless is causing all the changes to take place. Appearing and disappearing are the play of life — both two waves of the same ocean."
Let me stop trying to preserve the temporary cocoon I have built around myself so that I can connect to life at large.
Bhavana Eight — Samvara
The Art of the Full Stop
Closing the channels through which harmful vibrations enter; the pause between block and reaction
The act of naming a block and placing it on a leaf IS the full stop. Samvara is not suppression — it is the practiced pause between stimulus (the arising block) and response (being swept away by it). The leaf-stream trains exactly this gap of awareness in which the karmic inflow is interrupted, the non-local field clears, and the Four Clairs can function.
"When you are fully present, there is no room for the habitual inflow. The old pattern knocks at the door, but the door is already filled with light."
One pause before reacting, one breath before responding, one moment of seeing before being swept away. This is samvara — the full stop.
Chapter 1 — Practice Exercise
Entering Quantum Non-Local Awareness: The Threshold State
The epistemic posture before the possibility wave collapses · 25 min
Purpose from the ManuscriptBell's theorem proved the universe is non-local at its foundations. The 2022 Nobel Prize formalized it. This exercise trains the threshold state — awareness that holds the question of non-local knowing open without rushing to resolve it. The moment before the possibility wave collapses. You are practicing the capacity to linger — to be present to non-local information before ordinary narrative closure converts it into "just a feeling" or "mere coincidence."
Core Steps (25 min)
Begin with Preface Leaf-Stream Meditation (5 min). Ensure mental field is clear before proceeding.
Recall the hospital room microstory (Chapter 1): the knowing that arrived before any words — "Not hope. Not denial. Knowing." Hold it as a type of experience, not someone else's story.
Ask silently: "Have I ever known something before I had sensory basis to know it?" Hold the question like a stone in your palm — feel its weight without gripping it.
Notice where this question lands in the body. Let the sensation be present without labeling it "imagination" or "real."
Two-minute timer: remain at the threshold. If the mind argues, place it on a leaf. If it answers too quickly, slow it down — linger rather than resolving into story.
Write: "What I know before I can explain it is…" for five minutes without editing. Circle any phrase describing an actual experience. Write 5–10 sentences describing it as a microstory (who, what, how the knowing arrived, what followed).
Chitrabhanu Bhavanas for This Exercise
Bhavana One — Nitya
The Changeless Beneath the Changes
The threshold is the encounter with nitya — the unchanging awareness beneath the river of cognitive events
Chitrabhanu's master tells the student watching clouds at dusk: "Lift yourself above the level of earth to the height of the sun. Be conscious of that sun in you — there is changeless life in you." Chapter 1's exercise trains exactly this lifting: dwelling in the unchanging perceptual ground before specific knowing collapses into named story. The threshold state is the experiential encounter with nitya.
"Behind the continuous changes is the continuity of the changeless. Changes themselves indicate the ever-presence of the changeless."
Let me see with the knowledge that something in me will stay — that which knows before it can explain.
Bhavana Four — Ekatva
Freedom from Dependency
The non-grasping state — "I am" rather than "I want" — in which the threshold can be inhabited without collapsing it
The threshold exercise requires releasing the analytical mind's demand for explanation. Ekatva is "I am" rather than "I want [an answer]." Lingering at the threshold — before collapsing the possibility wave into a decided experience — is ekatva: being the seer before seizing the seen.
"As soon as you say 'I want,' desire begins. When you bring the whole world into 'being,' life merges into one flow."
I came as One. Let me stand in open awareness — before the mind reaches to name what it is receiving.
Chapter 2 — Practice Exercise
Feeling the Quantum Field: Chi Energy Ball & Story Sculpting
Part A: Chi Energy Ball — Solo (10 min) · Part B: Story Sculpting Pairs — Dyad (15 min)
Purpose from the ManuscriptTranslates Bell's theorem and QFT into somatic, relational practice. Fancy the horse knowing something crosses the space-time between barn and house — this exercise develops that field-sensitivity in the practitioner. The chi energy ball teaches you to feel the bioelectromagnetic field before theorizing it. Story Sculpting develops non-local knowing in a paired relational field without words.
Part A — Chi Energy Ball (Solo)
Complete Preface Leaf-Stream Meditation. Spine upright, palms facing each other 15–20 cm apart.
Slowly pulse palms toward and away with the breath (inhale apart, exhale together). Two minutes without forcing sensation.
Notice: warmth, tingling, slight resistance or magnetic repulsion in the palms or along the fingers.
Imagine a luminous ball balanced between your palms. Compress it; feel springy resistance. Expand to beach-ball size. Note how sensation changes.
Clap palms firmly to discharge. Record: sensations present, which hand stronger, any impressions that arose — this is somatic non-local data.
Part B — Story Sculpting Pairs (No speaking)
Director makes a conventional gesture; both freeze. Sculptor walks around and responds with a new relational pose. Continue 5 min.
Debrief: What did you sense about your partner's field before deciding your pose? Record entanglement episodes in your non-local journal.
Chitrabhanu Bhavanas for This Exercise
Bhavana Seven — Asrava
Observing the Inflow of Vibrations
The chi ball as direct sensory training in noticing the quality of incoming vibrations
The chi energy ball practice is the direct sensory training of asrava awareness. When you attend to warmth, tingling, or resistance between your palms, you are learning to observe the inflow of subtle vibrations. Before you can stop harmful inflows (samvara), you must first be able to feel them arriving. This is exactly what the chi ball trains — and the same capacity that somatic non-local guidance requires.
"The inflow of vibrations is like a river. You can observe it flowing in without being swept away. The very act of observation introduces the gap of awareness between stimulus and response."
Let me observe the inflow. Before I act from craving or aversion, let me notice what is arriving in my palms, in my field.
Bhavana Ten — Loka Svabhava
The Nature of the Universe
The self-nature of the universe as a living, entangled field — made palpable between two human palms
The Jain universe is not a collection of isolated objects but a living field governed by the intrinsic nature (svabhava) of its constituents. The chi energy ball makes loka svabhava visible at the scale of two human hands: what you are feeling is the universe's own field-nature made tactile. The non-locality of the Story Sculpting pairs — sensing your partner's field before seeing their next pose — is the same force at the scale of a relational dyad.
"The whole universe is a means to reach ultimate freedom. I am a citizen of the cosmos. My freedom is not separate from the universe's own movement toward awareness."
The field I feel between my palms is the universe's own non-local nature made tactile. Let me feel it with gratitude and care.
Chapter 3 — Practice Exercise
Muscle Testing as Ethical Sensing: Quantum Arm-Pressure Protocol
Part A: Ring-Lock Method — Solo · Part B: Partner Arm-Extension — Dyad (20 min)
Purpose from the ManuscriptThe Agent Orange microstory argues that extractive epistemology ignores non-local bodily knowing. Muscle testing (applied kinesiology) allows the body to register non-local information — about food, decisions, relational fields — before analytical thinking can catch up. Grace Ann and Boje use it throughout their day. The body's meridian/organ energy system is instantaneously responsive to its relational field. Ethical note: never use without consent; never to manipulate — this is the ahimsa boundary.
Part A — Ring-Lock Method (Solo)
Complete Preface Leaf-Stream Meditation. Form a ring with thumb and index finger of non-dominant hand.
Calibrate: true statement ("My name is [name]") = strong resistance = YES. False statement = weakened ring = NO.
State your question as a positive declaration: "Eating [food X] serves my highest good right now." Test the ring. Record without immediately interpreting.
Notice ego resistance to an "unwanted" answer — the desire to retest. That resistance is the signal to attend to most carefully.
Part B — Partner Arm-Extension
Testee extends arm parallel to ground. Tester establishes YES/NO baseline with two-finger pressure at wrist. Introduce ethical question: "This action serves the regenerative wellbeing of the whole."
Switch roles. Debrief: Where did the analytical mind resist or override the body's response?
Chitrabhanu Bhavanas for This Exercise
Bhavana Seven — Asrava
Observing the Inflow of Vibrations
The body as instantaneous receiver of field-quality; the ring-lock as asrava-meter
Muscle testing is the clinical operationalization of asrava awareness: the body's energy system is instantaneously responsive to its relational field — not only to physical substances but to questions about alignment, ethics, and consequence. Chitrabhanu teaches that vibrations which expand consciousness differ physically from those that contract it. Muscle testing makes this difference measurable in real time.
"Love, courage, and compassion create expansive vibrations. Observe the inflow. Before you act from craving or aversion, let me name what is arriving."
The difference between a body signal and an ego preference is where true discernment begins. Let my body be the instrument of ethical sensing.
Bhavana One — Winnowing
The Changeless Beneath the Changes
Separating grain from chaff — the body's truth-response from the ego's preferred answer
The ring test is Chitrabhanu's winnowing in practice: separating grain (the true signal) from chaff (the ego's preferred answer). The body's YES/NO is closer to the unchanging truth of the situation than the analytical mind's post-hoc reasoning. The ego's desire to retest when it gets an unwanted answer is exactly the "mind [that] tends to take that which is temporary and believe it is going to last forever."
"Before you use a word, feel the word. Taste the word. What comes from the depths becomes immortal."
Let the body's unchanging truth-response separate the grain of genuine knowing from the chaff of ego preference. I do not retest to get the answer I want.
Chapter 4 — Practice Exercise
Microstorying the ESP Event: Structured First-Person Protocol
5–15 sentences preserving antenarrative freshness before retrospective narration colonizes the event
Purpose from the ManuscriptEstablishes the methodological foundation: ethico-socio-phenomenology, quantum storytelling coding (future-shaping / past-confirming / now-shaping), entanglement episode mapping. A microstory is the smallest unit that carries a complete ESP QNL event — preserving the antenarrative freshness of the experience before retrospective narration colonizes it. This produces research-grade data while deepening perceptual self-knowledge.
Core Steps
Begin with Preface Leaf-Stream Meditation. Have your non-local journal open and pen in hand.
Recall a specific moment of knowing before knowing. Hold it as a present experience, not a past story.
Write the five-element microstory: who · what you knew · when and where · the relational field · what followed. Five to fifteen sentences. Raw phenomenological language. No cross-outs while writing.
Submit to truestorytelling.com or growthod.org — your contribution to the cross-cultural ESP QNL research database.
Chitrabhanu Bhavanas for This Exercise
Bhavana One — Nitya
The Changeless Beneath the Changes
The microstory catches the nitya-signal before the anitya-mind covers it with retrospective explanation
The microstorying protocol catches the nitya-signal before the analytical mind covers it with retrospective explanation. Chitrabhanu: "What comes from the depths becomes immortal. Such words carry the touch of immortality." The microstory is written precisely from the depths — unedited writing that bypasses analytical overlay and preserves the raw knowing as data. Five minutes of present-tense description before the mind narrates over the signal.
"Before you use a word, feel the word. Taste the word. When you really experience the truth of this, every word comes directly from your experience. What comes from the depths becomes immortal."
Let every word emerge from the depth of genuine experience — not from the mind's desire to explain, defend, or make the experience intellectually acceptable.
Bhavana Three — Samsara
Liberation from the Cycle of Birth and Death
The practitioner as the still center watching the ESP events turn on the Ferris wheel without being swept by them
Each ESP event is a turn of the Ferris wheel of samsara — arising, revealing, passing. The microstorying protocol trains you to sit in the still center and watch the wheel rather than identifying with its spin. The practitioner records what arrives, codes it, and releases it — without clinging to the experience as proof of their specialness or dismissing it as meaningless. That equanimous witnessing IS the practice.
"'It is the wheel which is moving, not me.' I am sitting in the same seat. What is going up and down is the wheel, but I am here — steady."
Let me observe the kaleidoscope of ESP events from the center point that views all points. I am the witness, not the witnessed.
Chapter 5 — Practice Exercise
Intuition in the Body: Somatic Literacy for Non-Local Guidance
Part A: Daily Body Scan with Relational Focus (10 min, morning) · Part B: Presentiment Tracking (Advanced, 15 min)
Purpose from the ManuscriptIntuition is the most democratic ESP practice — available to everyone, dismissed by a culture trained to privilege analytical reason. This exercise develops somatic literacy: the capacity to read your body's non-local signals precisely and reliably. Radin's presentiment research documents measurable physiological response to future stimuli before they appear. The body is a relational field, not a container for mind.
Part A — Daily Body Scan (Morning, 10 min)
After Leaf-Stream Meditation, hold one relational field in mind — a person, team, or landscape. Do not analyze. Simply allow the name or image to be present while your attention rests in the body.
Scan slowly from crown to feet. At each point, pause two full breaths and notice any change: warmth, coolness, tightening, expansion, vibration, numbness.
When a sensation is present, stay with it for three additional breaths without labeling its cause. Note: quality, location, direction (expanding/contracting/stable), intensity 1–10.
Record in non-local journal: sensation location, quality, intensity, and the relational field you were holding. This is your somatic intuition data point.
Chitrabhanu Bhavanas for This Exercise
Bhavana Six — Ashuchi
The Flame in the Candle
The body as candle; the soul-flame as the awareness that reads it from within
Somatic literacy is the soul-flame reading its own candle. The daily body scan is not monitoring the wax — it is the flame of awareness attending to its own vessel. Chitrabhanu: "Who gives feeling to the body? Who gives awareness to the mind?" Chapter 5's exercise answers that question through sensation — discovering the soul-intelligence that animates every somatic signal. When you notice the warmth in your solar plexus while holding a colleague's name in mind, that is the flame reading the candle's condition.
"Observe your form. It is beautiful. See who is in the center of your form, who animates all this — who gives feeling to the body, allowing it to sense and to feel."
My body is the candle. My soul is the flame. Let me honor the candle as the instrument through which the flame receives non-local guidance.
Bhavana Seven — Asrava
Observing the Inflow of Vibrations
The body scan as precision asrava practice — feeling the subtlest inflows before the analytical mind names them
The daily body scan is asrava practice made precise: instead of waiting for a gross vibration to announce itself, you develop the sensitivity to notice the subtlest inflows — slight warmth in the solar plexus that carries relational information about a distant colleague, tightening at the throat that signals an approaching ethical challenge. This is exactly what Radin's presentiment research documents at the physiological level — the body's inflow-register operating before conscious awareness catches up.
"Love, courage, and compassion create expansive vibrations. Let me be still enough that the subtlest inflow can be felt — before the analytical mind has named it and moved on."
Let me be still enough that the subtlest inflow can be felt — before the analytical mind has named it and moved on.
Purpose from the ManuscriptAvadhi-jñāna is direct extrasensory cognition of material objects across space and time — not a supernatural gift but a capacity latent in all conscious beings, accessible as karmic obscurations are shed through ethical practice and contemplative discipline. Chitrabhanu's lineage teaching: clairvoyance is inseparable from ahimsa. The Arihanta teaching transforms the practice: "Arihanta means not only 'conqueror of inner enemies' but 'everyone is your friend.'" This reframes clairvoyance from vigilance to relational openness.
Core Steps (30–40 min)
Complete Leaf-Stream Meditation with particular attention to blocks 6 (self-criticism) and 7 (doubt) — the specific karmic obscurations (jñānavaraniya and darshanavaraniya) that cloud avadhi-jñāna.
Bow inwardly to the five forms of Jain knowledge: sensory knowing, scriptural knowing, clairvoyant knowing, telepathic knowing, omniscient knowing. This is your epistemological intention.
Bring awareness to the ajna center (space between the eyebrows). Silently intend: "I invite the opening of avadhi-jñāna for the highest good of all." Do not demand. Invite.
With eyes closed, allow the visual field to soften. Do not try to see anything. Notice what appears at the periphery of inner visual awareness: colors, shapes, movement, depth.
Hold a specific question of concern with open awareness for ten minutes. Record any impressions immediately in your non-local journal without filtering.
Chitrabhanu Bhavanas for This Exercise
Bhavana Twelve — Dharma Svabhava
The Nature of Our Nature
Anant jñāna (infinite knowledge) & anant darshan (infinite vision) — the soul's own nature revealed by practice, not acquired through it
Avadhi-jñāna is not constructed through practice — it is revealed by it. Chitrabhanu teaches that the soul's true nature includes anant jñāna (infinite knowledge) and anant darshan (infinite vision), obscured by karmic matter but never destroyed. The third-eye meditation is not acquiring something new; it is removing what covers what was always already there. The name Arihanta — given by Chitrabhanu to David Boje — IS this principle embodied: one in whom the covering has dissolved enough that the field can be perceived directly.
"Just as a mighty mango tree is hidden within the stone of the mango, even so, O man, divinity itself is hidden within you. Rest not until you uncover it." — Bhagwan Mahavir, as quoted by Chitrabhanu
My true nature is infinite knowledge and infinite vision. These are not goals — they are what I already am beneath the karmic coverings. Let me rest not until I uncover it.
Bhavana Nine — Nirjara
The Art of Cleansing
Each third-eye session dissolves jñānavaraniya (knowledge-obscuring) karma; meditation burns karma in the light of awareness
The third-eye meditation works directly on jñānavaraniya karma — the accumulated obscurations that prevent avadhi-jñāna from operating clearly. Each session is nirjara in action: old karmas burning in the light of open, non-grasping awareness. Chitrabhanu: "the process of self-healing can be accelerated when you realize how such vibrations came and how they can be removed." The mirror does not cease to be a mirror; it simply cannot reflect clearly until it is cleaned.
"In meditation, old karmas burn in the light of awareness. The mirror does not cease to be a mirror; it simply cannot reflect clearly until it is cleaned."
Let me meet each session as an act of cleansing — not forcing perception, but allowing the karmic dust on the mirror of avadhi-jñāna to dissolve in the light of open awareness.
Chapter 7 — Practice Exercise
Telepathic Attunement & Quantum Autowriting
Part A: Ganzfeld-Adapted Partner Practice (30 min) · Part B: Quantum Autowriting Protocol (20 min)
Purpose from the ManuscriptTwo modes of non-local intersubjective communication: receptive (another's mental states arriving in your awareness) and transcriptive (content arriving from a non-local source, recorded as it comes). The Grace Ann and Boje parallel manuscript episode — the same argument, the same example, arriving independently across eight feet of space and eight hours of sleep — is the domestic entanglement episode that grounds this practice. Autowriting is quantum journaling: writing in open, non-directed attention where content is treated as arriving rather than constructed.
Part A — Ganzfeld-Adapted (Separate rooms, eye mask, white noise)
Sender: Choose one category — a vivid memory of a place, a specific emotion, or a simple geometric image. Write it down, seal it. Spend ten minutes inhabiting it fully. Not broadcasting forcefully — simply being it. Allow all other thoughts to go to the leaf-stream.
Receiver: Eye mask, white noise, ten minutes of receptive stillness. Record everything that arrives in real time: images, sensations, emotions, words, colors, movements. No editing.
Compare records. Note not only direct hits but structural correspondences: a triangle and a sense of sharp angles; grief and heavy rain. These correspondences are the signal.
Part B — Quantum Autowriting (20 min)
After Leaf-Stream Meditation and 5 min of receptive stillness, begin writing continuously for 20 min. If nothing arrives, write that. Do not pre-plan, do not re-read until complete. Code afterward: direct inner knowing vs. analytic construction.
Chitrabhanu Bhavanas for This Exercise
Bhavana Four — Ekatva
Freedom from Dependency
The non-grasping "I am" state from which telepathic reception and autowriting transmission become possible
Telepathic reception requires ekatva. The receiver who is grasping for a result — wanting to confirm their signal, wanting to impress their partner — generates bahutva-noise that masks the incoming transmission. Chitrabhanu: "Remove your desires and only see. When you see yourself as the seer, the world merges in your awareness." The ganzfeld state produces exactly this: a field of non-grasping in which the incoming signal can be received without ego interference.
"Remove your desires and only see. Do not bark. When you see yourself as the seer, the world merges in your awareness."
Let me be the receiver, not the hunter. The signal arrives when I stop reaching for it and allow the field to speak.
Bhavana Two — Sharana
Our Protection in an Unprotected World
The pure stream of consciousness as the source of autowriting content — arriving when analytical dependency is released
Autowriting is the practice of trusting that the pure stream of consciousness — Chitrabhanu's sharana — will provide the content when the analytical mind's dependency is released. The monk Anatha's turning to the Four Blessings at midnight and receiving healing is structurally identical to autowriting: the practitioner releases dependency on deliberate construction and connects to the inner protection that provides content beyond what the analytical mind can generate alone.
"The real help comes from the pure stream of consciousness. It is like a current that is always flowing. We have only to remove the curtain and open ourselves to that energy."
I go to the protection of the pure stream. Let it provide what the analytical mind cannot — the content that arrives rather than is constructed.
Purpose from the ManuscriptHoly Fire® Reiki situated in QNL through Boje's own healing microstory: thermal warmth moving precisely through his left leg during a Zoom session across state lines. De Villiers (2024): distant Reiki effects comparable to in-person — unexplainable by local mechanism. Theoretical mechanism: intention as a conscious act that collapses possibility waves in the direction of health through a relational entangled field. Ethics: consent, restraint, and humility are non-negotiable. Choose your own spiritual tradition — it works out the same.
Part A — Self-Send (20 min)
Complete Preface Leaf-Stream Meditation (5 min). Clear all seven blocks.
Activate the Holy Fire® connection through your chosen prayer, breath-intention, or the Navkar Mantra. This is the act of consciously opening the channel between yourself and the source — however you name that source.
Establish a moment in your past when you experienced difficulty. Hold your younger self with the same compassion you would offer a close friend. You are establishing the healing dyad across time.
Allow healing intention to flow non-directively: "for the highest good" rather than "to fix [specific outcome]." Hold for ten minutes in stillness.
Conduct a body scan (Chapter 5 protocol). Note areas of warmth, density, or movement. Close: palms to heart, three full breaths, release: "The healing is complete for this session. I return to my own field."
Chitrabhanu Bhavanas for This Exercise
Bhavana Two — Arihante Sharanum Pavajjami
Our Protection in an Unprotected World
I go to the protection of the Arihanta — the name Chitrabhanu gave David Boje as the healing channel itself
The Holy Fire® Reiki activation IS the Four-Protection mantra in practice. When Boje activates the Holy Fire connection, he is doing what the monk Anatha did in his fever: connecting to Arihanta, Siddha, Sahu, Dharma — and allowing the pure stream to flow as healing. The name Arihanta (given by Chitrabhanu to David Boje) IS the healing channel: "one who has conquered inner weaknesses" — the clearest possible vessel for the healing field to pass through without ego-distortion.
"I connected to that invisible inner force, which is always there, and ultimately became in tune with it. My mind, which was creating so many turbulent thoughts, became calm. That turned into medicine."
Arihante Sharanum Pavajjami. Let the pure stream of consciousness flow through me as healing — for the highest good of all, non-directively.
Bhavana Nine — Nirjara
The Art of Cleansing
Distant healing as accelerated dissolution of karmic accumulation transmitted across the entangled field
Distant Reiki is nirjara transmitted across the entangled field. When Boje received healing warmth in his left leg across state lines, the practitioner was performing nirjara for him: dissolving accumulated karmic matter (at whatever level it had manifested as physical pathology) through the conscious transmission of healing intention. The "for the highest good" directive is the essence of nirjara: allowing the cleansing to proceed where it is most needed rather than where the ego predicts it should go.
"With awareness, you can change wrong kinds of eating, thinking, and living. You can get rid of heavy negative vibrations which have turned into mental disturbance or physical disease."
Let me offer nirjara across the entangled field — the art of cleansing — without directing toward an outcome I have pre-decided.
Chapter 9 — Practice Exercise
Indigenous Ways of Knowing: Ethical ESP Without Appropriation
Part A: Drum-Beat Altered State Entry (15 min) · Part B: Organizational Soul Retrieval (Group, 30 min)
Purpose from the ManuscriptThe IWOK/WWOK distinction: Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Western Ways of Knowing are not interchangeable. The ceremonial and cosmological context in which each Indigenous tradition embeds its practices is not separable from them without loss. This exercise accesses ESP capacities (expanded temporal/spatial perception, somatic knowing of another's condition) through WWOK-compatible methods — breath, drum rhythm, body — while explicitly refusing to claim shamanic lineage or cultural authority. Boje left Core Shamanism upon discovering he had been teaching Indigenous intellectual property without attribution.
Part A — Drum-Beat Altered State (15 min)
Complete Preface Leaf-Stream Meditation (5 min). Set a clear ethical intention: "I am entering an expanded perceptual state for [specific purpose]. I do so for the highest good of all concerned."
Begin a shamanic drumming track (4–7 beats per second induces Theta 4–8 Hz). Lie or sit comfortably. Allow the beat to carry attention into the body — do not try to journey or visualize.
After five minutes, if visual imagery arises, observe without directing. Record impressions in real time.
At the callback beat, return to the room. Three grounding breaths. Record as a Chapter 4 five-element microstory.
Chitrabhanu Bhavanas for This Exercise
Bhavana Twelve — Anekantavada
The Nature of Our Nature
Anekantavada — the many-sidedness of truth; each tradition a facet of one diamond; ethical non-extraction as the living practice of this principle
Chitrabhanu's introduction names anekantavada — the Jain philosophical principle of many-sidedness — as the foundation of the entire book: "a deep respect for others' viewpoints, an honest appreciation of the complementary nature of many approaches to truth." Chapter 9's non-appropriation ethics is anekantavada in practice: each Indigenous tradition's way of knowing is a facet of the diamond, not a resource to extract. Chitrabhanu himself was the first Jain monk in five thousand years to travel outside India — bringing the teaching with reverence for difference, not extraction.
"An integral part of Jain philosophy and practice is anekantavada — a deep respect for others' viewpoints, an honest appreciation of the complementary nature of many approaches to truth."
Every tradition is a facet. Every facet reveals one light. Let me bow to all the facets without claiming any one as my own property.
Bhavana Eight — Samvara
The Art of the Full Stop
Stopping the inflow of cultural extraction before it hardens into habitual practice
Chapter 9's ethical stance requires samvara: a full stop placed at the channel through which cultural extraction flows. Before engaging with any practice from a tradition not your own, the full stop is the pause in which you ask: Who made this? To whom does it belong? What do I owe in return? Chitrabhanu's teaching of aparigraha (non-possessiveness) applied to knowledge traditions is the ethical grounding Chapter 9 articulates.
"Wise people don't try to impose their values on others. They see things as they are."
Let me place the full stop before every act of cultural borrowing: have I acknowledged origin, compensated where possible, and respected the tradition's own boundaries?
Chapter 10 — Practice Exercise
SeerFire Chakra Practice: The Seven Centers as Perceptual Instruments
Full 30-min protocol: Invocation · Leaf-Stream · Brainwave Descent · Chakra Activation · Sensing Log · Restorying · Sealing
Purpose from the ManuscriptMaps chakra and subtle body systems across traditions and grounds them in quantum biology. The SeerFire practice uses Chitrabhanu's seven chakra colors as transmitted directly to David Boje: Root (1st): deep red · Sacral (2nd): orange · Solar Plexus (3rd): yellow-gold · Heart (4th): green or rose · Throat (5th): bright blue · Third Eye (6th): indigo or violet · Crown (7th): white or gold-white. You may use these or choose your own — the choice belongs to you.
Full SeerFire Protocol (30 min)
INVOCATION (3 min): Navkar Mantra (Jain) + your personal prayer of connection (Catholic, Christian, or your tradition). Both simultaneously — Tamaraland polyphony, multiple rooms honored, none subordinated.
BRAINWAVE DESCENT (5 min): 4-count in, 6-count out → 6-count in, 8-count out. Moving Beta → Alpha → Theta.
CHAKRA ACTIVATION (7 min): Chitrabhanu's colors brightening from root to crown. Slow at Third Eye (avadhi-jñāna center). Rest in Crown's expanded field.
SENSING LOG (5 min): Hold your relational field. Record all four Clairs as they arrive — no filtering.
RESTORYING (2 min): Identify one small, ahimsa-aligned action based on what arrived. The Seven Bs "Bets" level.
SEALING (1 min): Self-send Holy Fire® Reiki or equivalent to your heart center. "The session is complete. I return fully to this moment."
Chitrabhanu Bhavanas for This Exercise
Bhavana Six — Ashuchi
The Flame in the Candle
The seven centers as the candle's seven flames — Chitrabhanu's direct transmission of these colors to Boje is the living lineage link
The SeerFire practice is the direct implementation of Chitrabhanu's sixth bhavana at the level of the seven-center body. Each chakra is a flame — a specific mode through which the soul-fire expresses itself as perception. The sequence from root to crown is the candle burning from base to tip: as each center brightens in Chitrabhanu's colors, the soul's perceptual range expands through the full spectrum. This exercise embodies the direct transmission from Chitrabhanu to Boje (Arihanta) made available to practice.
"Your eye is the lamp of your body. If your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light. Be careful to keep your whole body full of light."
Seven flames, one fire. Let me light each center in sequence — not as technique but as the soul recognizing its own instruments of perception, as Chitrabhanu transmitted them.
Bhavana Ten — Loka Svabhava
The Nature of the Universe
The chakras as the human body's expression of the universe's own non-local field-structure
Vitiello's dissipative quantum brain model: cortical dynamics involve collective quantum modes whose field extends beyond the skull — which is the subtle body in physics language. The chakras are loka svabhava made anatomical: the universe's own non-local structure expressed through the human energy body. The SeerFire practice is the practitioner tuning their seven centers as antennae to the seven registers of the universal field.
"The universe is not indifferent to this longing — it is structured to assist it. Every form of life longs to move to higher realms of awareness."
Let me tune each center as an antenna to the universe's own field — not projecting, not grasping, but receiving what the cosmos has to offer at each frequency.
Purpose from the ManuscriptRemote viewing (perceiving a distant location without sensory access), premonition (warning signals from future events), synchronicity (meaningful coincidence as non-local relational correlation). The Caballo ranch 2 a.m. flood warning: entanglement at maximum depth, built over years of living in relationship with specific land. STARGATE program protocol (1978–1995). Jung and Pauli's correspondence grounds synchronicity in QNL theory.
Part A — Remote Viewing (25 min)
Complete Leaf-Stream Meditation. Move toward Theta state (Chapter 10 step 3). Cleared, receptive — not concentration, not effort.
Partner chooses a target location they know well. They tell you only a two-digit coordinate (e.g., "47"). Nothing else.
Repeat the coordinate once. Release it into the field. Allow the coordinate to be a point of receptive focus. Do NOT search — allow what arrives to arrive.
Record for ten minutes in channel order: (1) visual, (2) somatic, (3) auditory, (4) emotional quality.
Write summary before feedback: "My overall impression is…" Then receive the reveal. Compare: note hits, misses, and analytic overlays (where your analytical mind substituted a story for a raw perception).
Part B — Premonition Journal (Ongoing)
Each morning upon waking: record any image, feeling, phrase, or certainty from the night or hypnopompic state. Present tense. No filtering.
Leave verification space: within 72 hours note accuracy. Track weekly which channel and which relational domain proves most reliable.
Chitrabhanu Bhavanas for This Exercise
Bhavana Three — Samsara
Liberation from the Cycle of Birth and Death
The premonition-watcher as the steady seat at the hub of the Ferris wheel — watching what arrives without being swept by it
The premonition journal trains the practitioner to be the steady observer at the hub of the samsara wheel — watching what arrives from the non-local field without being swept into the narrative of each event. The person who notices the 2 a.m. flood premonition and acts on it is not controlled by fear or urgency; they sit in the still center, watching the circumference. Chitrabhanu: "I am sitting in the same seat. What is going up and down is the wheel, but I am here — steady."
"Observe your whole cycle. See how the rich become poor, the young become old, the great become small. It is a joy to watch. The ornament changes but the gold remains."
Let me be the steady watcher at the hub. The premonition arrives not to sweep me away but to inform me — and then passes on the wheel.
Bhavana Eleven — Bodhi Durlabha
The Rare Occasion
The preciousness of this moment; each pre-cognitive impression as a rare window in the veil between present and non-local time
Every pre-cognitive impression that arrives in the hypnopompic state is a bodhi durlabha moment — a rare occasion in which the veil between present awareness and non-local time thins enough for information to cross. Chitrabhanu teaches that the rare occasion requires "grateful urgency" — not frantic anxiety but wakeful readiness. The premonition journal is bodhi durlabha operationalized: the practice of not sleeping through the windows the non-local field opens each morning.
"You have met a teacher, received a teaching, and found in yourself the longing for freedom. This conjunction is the rare occasion. Do not sleep through it."
Every morning impression is a rare window. Let me wake early enough to catch it before the analytical mind closes the opening with its first explanation.
Purpose from the ManuscriptThe hardest question in the book: whose ESP counts as evidence, and whose is classified as superstition? Miranda Fricker's epistemic injustice — testimonial (your account is unjustly discredited) and hermeneutical (you lack conceptual resources to make your experience intelligible to others). Decontextualization: extracting a practice from its living relational context does harm to its source tradition. The Ethical Reflexivity Log is the methodological instrument for keeping all ESP practice honest. This is not a one-session exercise — it governs all exercises in the book.
The Four Log Questions (After Every Session)
POWER POSITION: Relative to who/what I was perceiving today — what was my institutional and social power position? How might that have shaped what I perceived or how I interpreted it?
CONSENT AND TRANSPARENCY: Did every person whose field I attended know I was doing so? Was consent genuinely informed, including disclosure of my uncertainty about mechanism and outcome?
EXTRACTION CHECK: Am I taking knowledge from this practice without returning comparable value? What would ahimsa-aligned reciprocity look like?
CULTURAL PROTOCOL: Did I engage with any ESP practice from another tradition? Did I acknowledge the origin, compensate where possible, respect the tradition's own boundaries?
Chitrabhanu Bhavanas for This Exercise
Bhavana Eight — Samvara
The Art of the Full Stop
The daily log as four full stops placed at the channels of power, extraction, consent-violation, and epistemic injustice
The Ethical Reflexivity Log is samvara institutionalized. The four daily questions are four full stops: pausing the inflow of unexamined power-use, consent-violation, cultural extraction, and decontextualization before they accumulate as karmic habit. Chitrabhanu teaches that ahimsa (non-violence) begins with non-violence in thought before it reaches action. The log is the practice of non-violence at the level of perceptual ethics — the full stop placed at every channel through which ESP practice can cause harm.
"Non-violence begins with the full stop of violence within my own thinking. The old pattern knocks at the door, but the door is already filled with light."
Let me practice the full stop before every act of perception directed at another: have I named my power position, secured genuine consent, checked for extraction?
Bhavana Four — Ekatva
Freedom from Dependency
Seeing the "I" in the other — the epistemic justice foundation of relating to others as subjects, not objects of perception
Chapter 12's epistemic justice framework requires what Chitrabhanu's fourth bhavana cultivates: seeing the other as subject rather than object. Testimonial injustice happens when someone's account is discounted — they are treated as an unreliable object rather than a knowing subject. Ekatva dissolves this: "your 'I' and my 'I' are the same in quality — pure Atma." The monthly epistemic justice reflection trains this recognition: whose knowing have I dismissed, and what did that dismissal assume about the relative value of their "I"?
"When you see another as subject — not object — you see the 'I' in them. Their 'I' and your 'I' are the same in quality, pure Atma."
Let me see the subject in the one whose knowing I might dismiss. Their "I" and my "I" are the same in quality. Epistemic justice begins here.
Chapter 13 — Practice Exercise
Ensemble Non-Local Practice: The Enthinkment Circle Protocol
Part A: Weekly Journal Review (30 min) · Part B: Paired Impression Exchange (30 min) · Part C: Enthinkment Circle Group Protocol (60–90 min) · Every Tuesday on Zoom — enthinkment.com
Purpose from the ManuscriptSynthesizes the entire book's developmental arc into a five-stage training model: Recognition · Body Attunement · Signal Discrimination · Relational Integration · Ensemble Leadership. Opening microstory: thirty years of clinical non-local knowing suddenly named, framed, and welcomed into a community of practice. "What the training gave her was not the capacity but the vocabulary, the framework, and the community." The Enthinkment Circle is the ensemble culmination of every previous exercise in the book — distributed, field-generated, polyphonic rather than hierarchical.
Part C — Enthinkment Circle Protocol (Group, 60–90 min)
OPENING SILENCE (5 min): All participants complete the Preface Leaf-Stream Meditation simultaneously. The circle begins when every participant has released their active blocks.
FIELD ARRIVAL ROUND (10 min): Each person: "What I am carrying into this circle today is… What I am listening for today is…" No responses, no discussion. This is attunement to the collective field.
GUEST PRESENTATION (30–40 min): The circle receives a presentation or microstory. The group listens attending not only to content but to what arises in their own body, feeling, and inner perception during the listening.
FIELD RESPONSE ROUND (15–20 min): Each person shares what arrived in their non-local field: an image, a word, a body sensation, a sudden knowing. Not reaction or analysis — a report of what the field offered. Convergences are entanglement episodes — name them.
MICROSTORY HARVEST (10 min): Each participant writes a five-element microstory (Chapter 4 protocol) of their most significant non-local moment. Submit with consent to truestorytelling.com.
CLOSING INTENTION (5 min): Each participant states one small ahimsa-aligned action before the next circle. One minute of shared silence.
Chitrabhanu Bhavanas for This Exercise
Bhavana Two — Cattari Sharanum
Our Protection in an Unprotected World
The Four-Protection mantra as the foundation of ensemble practice — the circle as a field of shared sharana
The Enthinkment Circle is the social form of the Four-Protection mantra (Cattari Sharanum Pavajjami). When the circle opens in shared silence and all participants release their blocks together, they are collectively going to the protection of the Arihanta, the Siddha, the Sahu, and the Dharma — a community of shared inner refuge from which non-local knowing becomes possible at ensemble scale. Chitrabhanu: "When your small self merges with these four protections, the Higher Self, your reality, emerges." The circle makes this emergence collective.
"When your small self merges with these four protections, the Higher Self, your reality, emerges. Build inner strength and power by connecting to the invisible world of these vibrations."
Cattari Sharanum Pavajjami. I go to the Four Protections — and into this circle I carry them, so that together we may build the invisible world strong enough to hear the field.
Bhavana Twelve — Dharma Svabhava
The Nature of Our Nature
The ensemble as the diamond showing all its facets simultaneously — distributed, polyphonic, reflecting the one light from many angles
The Enthinkment Circle is the culminating expression of dharma svabhava: when many practitioners sit together in the shared field and each reports what arrived, the convergences between them are the diamond's facets catching the same light from different angles. Chitrabhanu: "The ultimate experience of reality is one universal, unfragmented. Like a perfect diamond, it is radiant, luminous, reflecting its source." The ensemble is that diamond made social — the one nitya-field perceived simultaneously through many anant darshan openings.
"The ultimate experience of reality is one universal, unfragmented. Like a perfect diamond, it is radiant, luminous, reflecting its source — that in each of us which is flawless, enlightened, pure, conscious."
I am one facet of the diamond. The circle is the diamond showing all its facets at once. Let the light that passes through each of us illuminate what a single facet alone cannot reveal.
Gurudev Shree Chitrabhanu concluded his teaching on the twelve bhavanas with his master's words:
"I can give you the maps, the teachings, the guidelines, the steps, but I cannot give you the eyes. Are you eager to grow? Are you willing to give up pain and suffering? Do you long to open your eyes and see clearly? If you have this quest for freedom, take this map in heart and mind. With patience and energy, enthusiasm and confidence, you can reach the peak."
