EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK:
VINCE'S GYM
Neo
Explains Healing Gladys
Neo sweeping his hand
all around said, “It takes yer breath away and wash yer problems
and worries aside don’t it?”
Still over
taken by the awe of creation I simply said, “Yes.”
He pulled out some
dried beef, and some fruit and relaxed back against a large tree
as he slowly took in the nourishment. I pulled out my wrapped
roast beef and canned sardines.
He smiled
looking at my grub and said, “Thank God for Safeway, eh?”
I said, “It’s
great out here…I need to get out here more often.”
I was
struggling to find a way to ask him so many things and I was
trying to move in as smoothly as possible to talk with him
without seeming to interrogate him.
I said, “Neo,
you’re from Australia originally?”
Neo sitting
back and still relaxed said, “Before I talk about myself I want
to git a few things straight between us, okay mate?”
I felt that his tone
had a hint of a type of ultimatum of some sort that would be
required of me.
I said, “What
sort of things would that be?”
Neo said, “I’m
a bloke that likes to have a lot of privacy, and that means I
don’t like people to know my business…my life or anything that I
don’t directly share with them myself.” “Whatever I tell you
about me, or anything that we discuss, or anything I do….I don’t
want to go beyond you and me.” “Is that clear?”
I said, “Yeah,
I guess so… you aren’t a wanted criminal or anything like that
are you?”
He laughed,
“Naw, just a wanderer that likes to keep a low profile.”
I said, “Okay,
I think I understand….anything we discuss or you show me I don’t
talk about.”
He said,
“That’s right.”
I said, “Even
this camping trip?”
He said, “Even
this walkabout.”
I said, “I
wanted to ask you about what you did with Gladys.”
Neo looked
slightly amused and he said, “What is it you want to know?”
I said, “What
you did with Gladys was the freakiest thing I have ever seen.”
“What did you do to her?”
He said, “I
helped her with her injury.”
I said, “That’s
not what I meant, I meant you done things with her that I have
never seen or heard before.” “It looked like you did a Vulcan
mind meld on her.”
Neo said, “Do
you have a problem with what I did or how it appeared to you?”
I thought for a long
moment and then I said, “Well both, I am not sure what you did,
and I am not sure if what I saw was real.” “I am not sure what
happened to me.”
Neo said,
“Gladys had a pretty bad wound, I handled the emergency in the
manner that I have been trained.” “Just some basic boy scout and
corpsman stuff with some acupuncture thrown in.”
I said, “What
the hell is acupuncture and what was that stuff that you had her
sniffing and what was that stuff that you mixed in the water
bowl and wiped her with.
Neo said,
“Acupuncture is a Chinese medical procedure that has been around
for at least 5,000 years.
“A person’s body is
filled with energy which is called Ki, by the Japanese, Ch’i, by
the Chinese, and Prana by the East Indians.”
Neo leaned
forward, “Energy is sometimes blocked and that causes problems
and other times during a procedure, energy needs to be
temporally blocked such as in Gladys’s situation.” “I put the
needles in spots called energy meridians and this helps to
control pain, slow and stop bleeding and to promote energy to
strengthen the healing process.”
He yawned, “The
stuff that I mixed in the water bowl was to also help deal with
slowing down blood flow, to numb the pain, and it had herbs that
was slightly astringent and helped to sanitize the wounds.”
“The stuff that I had
her inhaling was a mixture of herbs and flowers that promote
pain numbing, slowing of the heart beat, and a feeling of
calmness and suggestibility.”
I asked, “What
do you mean by suggestibility?”
He said, “I
mean that what she breathed in helped to promote a state of
suggestibility…it helped to open up any blocks or dissolve any
resistance she may have had to me helping her, hypnotizing her
to do all of the things that the herbs and acupuncture was also
doing.”
I said, “Ah ha,
I knew it had to be something I could understand!”
Neo just
laughed and then he said, “So you understand, that is good.”
I said, “Still,
even though I understand hypnosis, what I don’t understand is
how was it that you and Gladys’s seem to be in a Vulcan
mind-meld?”
Neo said,
“Since Gladys’s is a very suggestible person anyway…everything
that I did to her opened her up to where we could merge our
nervous systems together.”
I was shocked…
did Neo just tell me that he in fact did a Vulcan mind-meld?”
He looked at me and
laughed.
He said, “It
was hypnosis, but Gladys’s made it possible to go beyond normal
hypnotic procedures…and without her we would not have been able
to merge…
without her it would
have just been a more of the regular mechanical type of
healing.” “With out her faith and willingness to surrender to
both herself and to me and vice versa, all I could have done was
to cut down the bleeding, cut and clean her flesh and just sew
her up…the Eastern techniques along with Western techniques the
job would have been better than most, but without her, I would
not have been able to merge with her and to help her to harness
her energy, nor would I have been able to lend her my energy, at
least not very well.”
“I said, “Are
you telling me that you lent Gladys your energy or that you even
believe it?”
Neo said, “Yes,
that is what I am saying.”
Seeing the
dubious look on my face Neo smiled, “Is that so hard to
believe?” “You do that when you spot a lifter, when you are
aching for them to make the lift to move the weight the
prescribed number of times, or at least that’s what you believe
at times, isn’t it?” I was startled that he would say this. I
had always believed that I had been able to do this, but I never
advertised it to anyone.
Neo said, “I
have seen you working with your clients, and the other lifters…
when they train with
you, they perform much better when you spot them than when the
other guys spot them.”
I said, ‘That’s
because I’m a good cheerleader and I know which words and
phrases spike up their performance.”
Neo said,
“Yeah, all that is true and that is partly what I did with
Gladys, but there is more to it than that.” “When Harry, or
Rick, or some of the other guys copy your style and phrases
their success in helping the clients increase…in that there is
not doubt…however…all things being equal, the clients still
progress much better when you are right there with them.” “They
know it and they even tell other people that they will wait
until you can spot them.” “No… what I’m talking about goes
beyond that…
it is your intention
of will to influence their power with yours that helps them…
I can see it.”
I was
speechless and then I said, “Well perhaps…I mean I sometimes
feel that way, but you cannot compare my helping a guy to get a
few extra reps or ten or twenty extra pounds with what you did
with Gladys.”
Neo said, “Why
not?” “It is just only a matter of degree, what you saw me do
with Gladys’s was an amplification of what you are learning to
do on your own.” “Most people have the latent power within, but
they do not realize it, or they refuse to believe it.”
I said, “I want
to know why you put your one hand on Gladys’s solar plexus and
tapped her on the head…it kind of reminded me of some of those
TV faith healers.”
He laughed and
then he says in a perfect imitation of a TV evangelist, “Yeass,
I will strike out the demon of conceit in the name of jeazusss.”
His tone got
serious again and he said, “I put my hand on her stomach to calm
her, just like when you put a hand on a baby’s belly to help
calm the baby.” “I put my hand on her crown, these are both
areas where major energy chakras are located and these areas I
open up and stimulate the chakras.
I asked, “Are
you telling me that the TV Faith healing stuff is not fake…that
it’s real?”
He said, “If a
person’s faith is real than their healing can be real and
if the evangelists faith is real then all the better.”
I said, “So are
they tapping the heads of their followers to touch these chakras
that you are talking about?”
Neo said, “Na,
most of them are hitting the foreheads of their followers for
theatrics and to stun and put the follower off balance, so in
effect they are shocking their followers nervous system in a
very crude way.”
“A few, a very
few are gifted healers and they are actually able to tap into
those energy fields even if they don’t know how they are doing
it.”
I said, “I
thought I saw some energy around your hands and Gladys’s stomach
and head and I could have sworn I felt tingles of energy when I
was holding her hand.”
I was debating on
whether I should tell him about the rest of my experience, but I
was not sure how that would come across. I just sat there for a
long time not saying anything.
Finally, he
said, “There is more ya want to tell me?”
I sucked in a
deep breath and I said, “When you and Gladys’s were… melded…
I heard you both
talking together as one at the same time…then I saw both of your
eyes… her eyes were… they were… dilated while yours were
pinpoints… and then
I saw both of your
eyes do a complete reversal…what was that all about?”
Neo said, “Does
it seem hard to believe?” “How many times have you finished a
sentence for someone, or said exactly the same thing they were
going to say…sometimes at the exact moment?” “It’s just the same
thing, only more extreme…deeper.”
I said, “I
also….I also felt…like every molecule in my body was humming
when you both were doing that….I felt myself vibrate
and……dissolve…blank out.” “There, I thought, it’s out,
I said it, now no doubt he’s gong to look at me like I’m nuts.
Neo laughed
hard at what I said.
I thought, “Yep
there he goes, he knows I must be a nut case.”
Neo smiled and
said, “Ya think you’re a loony hey mate?”
I said, “Well?”
Neo said, “Na,
ya ain’t loony, yer just a lot like Gladys…you’re really a
highly suggestible guy…maybe a bit over suggestible.”
Before I could
protest he said, “Thank God ya got a lot of the scientific
skeptic in ya also.”
I said, “My
hypnotist told me the same thing.” “Do you think that being
highly suggestible makes me think I experience things when I
don’t, or do you think it allows me to actually experience
things that a lot of people don’t?”
Neo said,
“Yes.” His single affirmation confused me.
I said, “Which is it?”
He said,
“Both…your high suggestibility is a double edge sword, sometimes
you may be likely to feel as though you are experiencing
something when your not, or over exaggerate in your head what
you felt, but your gift also will allow you to perceive what
other people don’t perceive.” “Your skepticisms is a needed foil
to guard against an over active imagination.” “Ya got to
remember that your skepticism is also a double edge sword and it
can have you doubting the reality of what you actually
experience.
I said, “I’m
just curious, you said that on Gladys you used a combination of
both Western and Eastern medicine on her…did you use to be a
doctor, or something?”
Neo looked at
me for a long moment, his strange eyes seemed to pin me on the
spot and it looked as if he was weighing things in his mind,
weighing me, weighing circumstances. “Let’s say that I have had
lots of medical training in many areas and leave it at that for
now.”
I was starting
to get sleepy and I told Neo that I needed to do a power nap.
He laughed and
said, “Yeah, it looks like ya got to git a little bit of
spine bashing in.
