Who Is Being Called?
Morning
- Sun: Aries 27°
- Moon: Aries 27° | New Moon
Meditation
- 40 Minutes.
- Youtube. Theta 6.3Hz binaural beat.
I had an open early morning today so I took it as an opportunity to check out a “new to me” track. I tend to go pretty open-ended when I try new stuff, maybe one basic goal but overall mostly to observe. So, that’s what I did this morning.
The track itself was more uniform in carrier wave quality, with slight modulations at certain interval lengths to, my assumption, keep you engaged and aware. This is important with binaural beats; lack of variation will without a doubt send most folks to slumberland.
Prep was quick. F10 (mind awake, body asleep) came on super fast, something that’s independent of track quality. I expanded into F12 (expanded awareness) cleanly and with little effort. I then meandered over to F15 (the “no time place”) to get a little deeper.
Once in F15 I started the “focused point movement” exercise. I’ve recently mentioned that I’ll be retiring this movement moving forward, but I do find it very easy to replicate for exploratory sound sessions like this.
I didn’t have to work very hard to produce vibrations localized to my head, very much automatic with this exercise. I then mentally “pulled in” the vibrations to intensify them, and this also occurred without much of a trial and error process. It just happened.
I wasn’t able to move beyond this point, and the reason for this, in my opinion, is that this track is on the light side. Tom Campbell’s binaurals tend to send me deeper than most, so I use them as my benchmark. I’d wager that this particular track is on the weaker side.
It may not be like this for everyone but for me, I don’t think I’ll be re-running this session again.

Afternoon
- Sun: Aries 27°
- Moon: Taurus 2° | New Moon
Meditation
- 35 Minutes.
- Tom Campbell’s binaural beats, 128-64-32.
For this afternoon’s session I did have a mission and a specific question. To contrast this morning’s session I went ahead with one of Tom Campbell’s binaural beats, which regularly lowers me to deep trance states.
Prep was quick and effortless. There was, however, a portion of this process that made me pause. After walking through the green Medieval door and onto the dock of The Blackwater Tower, I ran up two flights of stairs to the main entrance where I deposited my mental belongings into the ECB (Energy Conversion Box). After entering the tower I headed to the rear of the structure where there are two exits that lead to the tower’s main overlook platform. What made me pause is that I automatically began moving to the exit on my right but stopped, paused, and then went through the left exit. I don’t know what it means but I thought it’s worth recording.

Settling into F10 (mind awake, body asleep) took a bit longer than this morning but didn’t require any extra steps to deepen my state. Always nice when this happens. Expansion in F12 (expanded awareness) was strong and uniform. Then I proceeded to meander to F15 (place of no time) to cast my query, “Who Is Being Called?”
An Aside: This question is one of several within a similar theme that I’ve been probing for about a month or so when I’m able to have good sessions. Every time, the overall answer is revealed bit by bit, but it’s a slow process.
After observing for a while, and showing my gratitude, I decided to move further inward into F18 (heart space) and cast the same query there. Some time passed, and after observing for any kind of answer, anything, I decided to call it and exit the session.
On my way out I once again gave my thanks and proceeded to set an intention in F10. Before I could do that, something interrupted me.
A confident child’s voice yelled out either, “Sup?!” or “So!?” Not sure if the version matters or not. Auditory things of this nature aren’t unique in meditative and trance states, so I don’t want to hang all of our hats on this as the answer, because even if it was, there would be many more questions.
My intent was for a lucid dream, a further and more interactive altered state. In many of my sessions the answers typically surface either immediately during a meditation (altered state: human trance) or in an altered state that manifests immediately after. Today, once again, I was unable to generate an altered state.
The query session was a hit and a miss on both accounts, but at this point this simply means that the answer will arrive another time. Once again, I just have to be open to any possibility, and I always am.
