Are you searching for a great community in which to build your new Florida home? Then look no further than beautiful, historic DeLand. Also known as “The Athens of Florida”, Deland combines Old Southern charm with progressive city planning in a welcoming Central Florida community of 60,000 residents. Situated along the St.John’s river in the booming Central Florida region, DeLand offers all the best of Florida. A great place to buy real estate…

Whispers of the past

Oak-tree lined streets compliment the historical flavor of beautiful downtown DeLand. Founded in 1876 by Henry DeLand, the city maintains much of its original look and feel today due to the diligent efforts of the local preservation society. The DeLand courthouse has been a fixture of the downtown area since 1927, and is considered one of the most beautiful courthouses in Florida.

Because of a major fire which destroyed much of the downtown area in 1885, a town ordinance mandating only brick and concrete construction was passed. Today, the result of that ordinance is a wonderfully preserved downtown area that gives residents and visitors a true taste of the Old South.

Bask in the warm Florida Sunshine and Southern hospitality

If you’re tired of long, cold winter days, shoveling snow and high heating costs, now is the time to re-locate to the Sunshine State. DeLand’s average temperature is 71 degrees, with rainy days often amounting to nothing more than a few afternoon showers. This means you can enjoy the great outdoors year-round. Say good-bye to blizzards and hello to beach days in February. A great place to buy real estate…

Year-round local events give you the opportunity to experience small-town Southern hospitality first hand. From art festivals to the county fair, DeLand offers residents ample opportunity to socialize and have fun within this close-knit yet welcoming community.

Historic Stetson University

The prestigious Stetson University has been a fixture in the community of DeLand since the town’s inception in 1876. Today, the Stetson campus is a registered historical landmark. Its beautiful brick buildings, rolling green lawns and ancient oak trees provide yet another touch of charm and grace to the surrounding city. The university also provides the local citizenry with access to various art and music programs, which are open to residents of all ages.

No need to go without

Downtown DeLand houses several shops and marketplaces, as well as an array of choices for dining out. From Southern home-cooking to theme restaurants to Japanese, you don’t have to sacrifice variety or convenience. Nearby Sanford is home to a large shopping mall with several department and specialty stores that are sure to meet all of your shopping needs.

Fun for the whole family

Whether you’re looking for lazy days on the St. John’s River, wildlife parks or theme parks, championship fishing or golfing, hiking or performing arts, DeLand has something for you.

For the fishing enthusiast, the St. John’s River and surrounding lakes offer championship level bass fishing. Deep sea fishing is available a short drive away in Ponce Inlet or New Smyrna Beach. Several State parks in DeLand and the surrounding areas offer camping, hiking, botanical and wildlife observation, and boating.

The Athens Theater offers a chance for those bitten by the acting bug to get on stage with auditions open to the public, while The Storybook Theater Company provides local children with several summer camps and after school programs.

Beautiful white sand beaches and the sparkling blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean are only a short drive away. Enjoy a day of sun and fun in nearby Daytona Beach, where you and your family can spend the day on the water or exploring the NASCAR museum at Daytona International Speedway. See live NASCAR action at the annual Pepsi 400 and Daytona 500 events.

For the golf enthusiast, seventeen championship courses and LPGA headquarters are all within easy driving distance of DeLand. To the West, the thriving metropolis of Orlando offers everything from thrill rides to botanical gardens, sporting events, and museums.

Everything you’re looking for and more

If you are looking for a new home town that is filled with charm and beauty, a sense of history, welcoming residents and a small-town feel, look no further than DeLand real estate. Here you will find everything the Old South has to offer without sacrificing modern convenience, where the past and present meet in harmony. Welcome to your new hometown. Welcome to DeLand.

Growing up with an older brother (Garland) and two order cousins (Earle and Harvey) who lived across the garden from us meant that I often was assigned to the more inconsequential roles in games and sports. For example, all us neighbor kids played baseball in a clearing in our orchard; actually, the clearing was the infield, and any ball hit out of the infield went into the orchard. I was stationed to the right of 2nd base where a pear tree grew about 10 feet behind the bag. I positioned myself securely behind the trunk, placed my teeth firmly into the thumb of my baseball glove, and prayed “Dear God, don’t let the ball come to me”. I kid you not; I still have that glove, complete with the tooth marks of a seven-year-old.

If I ever ventured forth from the safely of that spot in the crotch of that comforting old pear tree, I have no memory of it. I think I played out several seasons in that position, which might partially explain why later, when I went out for high school baseball, I was less than awesome. I tried to play shortstop like a normal person, but when you’re used to a pear tree shielding you from hard ground balls and line drives, it’s hard to get accustomed to standing out in the open. I tried hard, too, not to bite my glove, but the taste of leather seemed so soothing that it was a temptation I found difficult to resist.

My baseball career came to a crashing halt when I was playing for the 8th grade team at E.V. Cain Elementary School. It was a pop fly to the infield, and the 2nd baseman and I both called for the ball, then collided, allowing the ball to drop untouched by human hands, in turn allowing the winning run to score. The incident itself was common enough, but when really teed off my coach was that I apparently had the thumb of my glove in my mouth while I was looking up at the ball.

“Shinn, I can’t believe you had your glove in your mouth! If you need to suck your thumb, find someplace else to do it. A baseball field is not the place.”

I suppose that’s why I took up the trombone. Nobody yells at you when you have a mouthpiece in or around your mouth, and I didn’t have to worry about line drives or collisions with other band members. Besides, my big brother Garland played the trombone, and he helped me get started. Tommy Dorsey was big in those days, and he played a piece titled “Tromboneology” that Garland was learning, and that intrigued me, too, with its’ clever and jazzy moves. I visualized myself up on the bandstand, adoring fans staring at me in starry-eyed adulation, playing the great swing tunes of the day. I improvised deftly through the multi-faceted chord changes of Cherokee, and then suavely broke into the smoothest version of Stardust you could imagine. The crowd went wild. I could hardly finish my solo before the thunderous applause drowned out the band.

My fantasy-dream was rudely interrupted by the annoyed voice of Mr. Newcomb, my 8th grade band director.

“Shinn, what in the world are you doing? The rest of us are playing “Stars And Stripes Forever.” Would you care to join us?”

The rest of my trombone career went somewhat better. In high school I worked my way up to 3rd chair, sitting behind Sybil McKenna, the excellent fat first chair, and Ola Lee Murchison, the 6′6″ skinny multi-talented athlete and 2nd chair (who went on to play football for that new expansion team, the Dallas Cowboys), and ahead of a friend named Gary, who wasn’t much in music but later saved me from flunking chemistry by cramming me full of formulas the night before the final. Even if we hadn’t sat in that order, you could always tell who the best trombonists were, as the eyeballs of the rest of us would be titled toward them seeing what position their slides were in. Trombonists can’t turn their heads without moving their slides, so eyeballs had to swivel dramatically to the left or right, depending upon where the superior trombonists were sitting. But since we sat in the order of our ability, all eyeballs of the entire section were leaning left, toward the first and second chairs. I was the closest to the only two trombonists who could read music, so I would watch Ola’s slide, Gary would watch my slide, and so on down the line. Our director once suggested that we would save on eyestrain if we learned to read the notes ourselves, an idea that had not occurred to us until then. I worked on that some, but found Ola’s hand a more direct route to the correct note. Nevertheless, between note reading and eyes-left-to-Ola’s-slide-reading, I did pretty well in high school band. Well enough, in fact, that by my senior year I was selected as the third most likely band member to succeed. A buddy named Mike, a wonderful tenor sax player, was chosen as most likely to succeed, followed by Ola. And while we certainly appreciated the selections at the time, they turned out to be fairly inaccurate. Neither Mike nor Ola nor I play our instruments much anymore, but a kid who nobody noticed and played oboe; the only oboe in our band; now plays with the Portland Symphony. Funny how things change as time goes by.

In our band building were a series of small practice rooms, with little windows in each door so that you could look in to see if the room was occupied. All sorts of wild and wonderful things went on in those little rooms, including the conjugation of Latin verbs to the tune of the 1st three notes of Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C# Minor. “Vini, vidi, vinos” we would sing in unison, and then laugh so hard we thought we would throw up. Mr. Walker, the bachelor choir leader, never thought it was funny, however, and we often found ourselves ejected from the practice rooms. It was a wonderful learning aid for Latin, however, and the “B” that I got from Miss Estes owed a great deal to those musical conjugations.

As with any skill, the more you practice, the better you become. It’s the same with hypnosis. If done incorrectly, hypnosis will not work. You must become skilled in the art of hypnosis before you can hope to put anyone in a relaxed enough state to actually communicate with their subconscious. Aside from learning hypnosis techniques, you must practice hypnosis if you ever hope to become an expert in the art of hypnosis. The best hypnosis training is done on your friends and family. This way, you can practice what you’ve learned on people who will forgive you if you make a mistake and won’t be angry because they paid for a service that you couldn’t complete.

School, Books Or The Internet

Hypnosis training can either be done in a classroom setting, such as at a hypnosis school, or it can be done by reading books or even by getting instructions over the internet. Hypnosis training involves using a soothing voice, some objects to make the person relax more, and even music and lighting to enhance the relaxed, hypnotized state. Other than that, you need hypnosis training to know what to tell the person once they’re in the hypnotized state. This message to their subconscious can be instructions to help them lose weight, quit smoking, be more assertive or just to become a better person. Hypnotism doesn’t work for everyone but with enough hypnosis training, you can become an expert in the art of hypnosis so that you can hopefully help as many people as possible.

If you are going to conduct your hypnosis training with friends and family, make sure that you take extreme care. Hypnosis is not a toy, it’s not something you should take lightly. When people are in a hypnotized state, they are very vulnerable to the message conveyed by the hypnotist. It’s through hypnosis that people can be instructed to do certain things they normally wouldn’t do while awake. This leaves much room for abuse and unethical practices. Just make sure that you are responsible with your new power and that you follow you hypnosis training with the intent to do good, not bad.

Hypnosis training can be a fun, interesting journey into the human subconscious mind. There’s no limit to what you can do or find out once someone’s conscious mind is put to sleep. You can help people with all sorts of problems and that’s what makes hypnosis training so worthwhile.

The Picture of Sound

Years ago I noticed an uncanny correlation between mantras and mandalas. A mandala is the picture or symbol of an event or focus of worship, such as the Star of Bethlehem, and a mantra is a sound usually intoned for centering and contact such as ohm. When Handel wrote his classical Messiah, it was to celebrate the birth and life of Christ. When the hallelujah chorus is sung, a perfect five pointed star or Star of Bethlehem is produced. Did Handel knowingly create the music for this purpose? I don’t believe so. Still, somehow he tapped into a form, a geometry, and intuited music that represented the geometry.

Geometry and Sound

My interest in this correspondence between the early pictorial interpretations of sound patterns and frequencies led me into a long and continuing research project. Just how often does sound correspond with form? Is there a sound to the DNA molecule? Could sound be generated from the geometry? In other words, could some mathematical method yield a geometry of creation?

For most, geometry is a boring subject studied in High School. For others, it is the sacred path to the Ultimate. For still others, it is a science that when applied outside of the realm of pure abstraction (mathematical theory) is both predictive and creative. That is, through the use of geometry, functional forces can be directed such as geomagnetic or electro-magnetic fields.

Geometry is the stuff of Pythagoras, Hermes, Thoth, and so many more mystical thinkers that it is hard to overlook. In every spiritual tradition, there is a path written in geometry. The Sufi, in their dance, the Hebrew in their Cabbalah, the Egyptian in their structures and sciences, the Greek in their brotherhoods, philosophy and universities, the Rosicrucian, the Mason, the Hindu, the Native American, and on and on all honor and employ geometry both as a science and a mystical path. Is it possible that a true archetype of a universal nature begins in geometry itself? In other words, is geometry the archetype?

Cymatics is the study of the sound of geometry (see my book, Subliminal Communication, p60-61). Early researchers used a stylus vibrating across a turn-table covered with fine sand to picture sound. The stylus was sensitive to frequency and signal strength. Thus, when a sound was played, the turn-table turned and the stylus vibrated. The result, a picture in sand. This method was laborious and time consuming, but it worked.

The Universe is kind and patient. For me, due to my interest in this work, the chore was made much easier. Today I have a remarkable device in my studio that is essentially a rotating arm full of light emitting diodes (LEDs). The LEDs are sensitive to frequency and signal strength. They are colorized across the spectrum to coincide with frequency length. As such, when I put a sound into the spinning light-bar, a color motion picture results. The continuous geometry of sound in real time.

Over the past five years, using this rotating light-bar, I have witnessed the math of the DNA helix, generated in sound through a special software program, reproduce the geometry of the helix on my light-bar. Indeed, using many of the rates from Radionic research, I have seen what I believe to be the organic geometry of cells, tissue, organs, and more–but save all this for another issue.

Geometry of Creation

Back to the point at hand, geometry appears to be not only an aspect of science and mysticism, but an archetype with the power of what might be called a morphogenic field. Biologists believe that morphogenic fields define the characteristics of species and species differentiation. In straight forward terms, it is the morphogenic field that accounts for why an acorn always becomes an oak.

The accomplished behavioral scientist, Carl Jung, is generally credited for the modern notion of archetypes. An archetype is an essential image that universally communicates without linguistic need. Dream images are often thought of as having representative meanings universal to all. These images are referred to as archetypes.

Archetypal imagery is powerful. It pulls at some level of consciousness in ways that are meaningful but usually difficult to describe in words. Geometrical archetypes exist everywhere and I am frankly puzzled as to why this is yet a basically unexplored area of science.

Let’s digress a little at this point and look at a very brief history of geometry and science. It is instructive to realize that modern science has its beginning with Galileo Galilei. He was the first to carry out systematic experiments and to use mathematics to describe his work. To Galileo, mathematics was geometry. Actually, at the time of Galileo, there were two distinct forms of mathematics available. Geometry, and the math derived from early Indian mathematicians known after its Arabic name given by the Persians as algebra. Algebra is a system of equations as you all remember from your school days. Rene Descartes combined these two systems thereby producing pictures of equations in what is today known as analytic geometry. As important to science as this was, it nevertheless fell short of being able to deal with non-linear equations. This problem was solved by Isaac Newton a century later. To make a long story short, for various reasons mathematics tended away from geometry until recently. Jules Henri Poincare is credited with reversing this trend with a system of visual mathematics known as topology or “rubber sheet geometry”. It is upon this system that the mathematics of complexity lie. It is also in this system of mathematics that chaos theory demonstrates a higher order. Now, it is not in the scope of our enquiry to spend the necessary time to adequately review mathematics, but for those of you interested, the best history, description and application of historical mathematics as applied to modern science that this author is aware of is given by Fritjof Capra in his marvelous book, The Web of Life.

Here is the reason for our digression. It is geometry that makes sense out of our most contemporary theories in the physical sciences. From the Nobel prize winning work of Prigogine and his theory of dissipative structures to the latest theories proposing an all life connectedness, a network of life, a one ecology of life, the Gaia Hypothesis, or the metaphor used by Capra, the web of life; the intelligent self organizing nature of the planet–nature as alive. These new theories are gaining prominence chiefly on the back of mathematical models/geometry that illustrate order arising from chaos. Not just order, but a higher order. It would seem that not only does the law of conservation (nothing lost) apply to nature, but when order seems to break down, it’s really reorganization destined for a higher order. An apparently self organizing reorganization that reveals itself as a geometric process.

Geometry as a Primordial Archetype

I return to my question, is it possible that geometry is the primordial archetype? Is its elegance and simplicity capable of ordering everything in the universe? Is it due to this ancient intuited knowledge, noetic wisdom, that so many hold geometry as sacred? Could it be that when we know the form we discover the function? Is geometry the language of creation? Certainly many can and have shown the geometric progression from singularity to space/time universe. Indeed, multi-dimensional theories currently so popular in physics, including the string theory, our most promising hope for providing a general unified theory, are strongest in their appeal when laid open by geometry.

In my opinion, geometry is a fundamental archetype. It is also more.

To that end, after showing many the effect of geometrical shapes naturally organizing and changing, of fractals collecting into a higher order, of shape and color generating what many have perceived as the matrix, cookie cutter if you will, of all that we know in our physical world and much of what we theorize about, it was decided to join geometry with our patented Whole Brain® InnerTalk® technology and create video tapes.

As with anything, as the new product evolved, it was tweaked. In the end, the geometry vibrates in permutation to an amazing dance of color. It is stillness in motion to watch. The rotating kaleidoscope of colors are used to hide positive messages. Sometimes you see them as the color changes, but unless you still frame your video they do not normally reveal their entire word content. So maybe one sees the word “good” but misses the “I am” content in the sentence–at least consciously. Of course, the research shows your subconscious doesn’t miss it.

The soundtrack, music and nature sounds, also carries the positive messages. Additionally, we added tones and frequencies with a canceling beat differential to entrain the brain, slow down brain wave activity, and produce a natural deep state of relaxation or altered consciousness. The best part–they work. Our trial subjects, bankers, businessmen, dental patients, secretarial and clerical persons, truck drivers and so forth have all reported the same absolutely mesmerizing affect followed by a sense of personal empowerment.

Geometry For Health?

For me, this is a beginning. The use of geometry holds many possibilities. Some of these are not abstract mathematical methods for scientists. Deep down I sense that the visual stimuli may even hold a new path to wellness. Perhaps, I have theorized, if the geometry of a healthy organ were presented together with its sound, that somehow the body would imitate, mimic, vibrate or sympathetically resonate to this sound picture and thereby restore its own health. Somewhat analogous to tuning a piano, tuning the body and mind through the sound picture of organic geometry.

The thought manifests as word; The word manifests as deed;The deed develops into habit;And habit hardens into character.So watch the thought and its ways with care,And let it spring from loveBorn out of concern for all beings.

The Buddha

A cocaine addict, a working person raising a family, a seeker practicing meditation and service, and a highly conscious sage all have the same motivation: the core drive. We all want avoidance of suffering and permanent Love, peace, and safety. What separates us is our habits. Habits rule destiny. Our life is a sequence of habits that determine our course and evolution.

We all have a mix of good and bad habits. Bad habits cause untold suffering. Good habits serve us in the cause of our liberation. To understand how we got where we are and how to change direction, we need to understand the formation and transformation of habits. The seeker will need to release the energy captured by bad habits and transfer this power to liberating good habits.

Any pattern of thought or action repeated many times results in a habit with a corresponding neurosignature, or brain groove. The brain is composed of approximately 100 billion cells, called neurons. A brain groove is a series of interconnected neurons that carry the thought patterns of a particular habit. Attention feeds the habit. When we give our attention to a habit, we activate the brain groove, releasing the thoughts, desires, and actions related to that habit.

The good news is that the brain is malleable. We can change our thoughts and behavior by recruiting new cells to form new brain grooves. Every thought and action is recorded within the interconnected nerve cells, and each repetition adds new depth to the brain groove. If we repeat a thought and action enough times, a habit is formed. Continued repetition strengthens the power of the habit. Inattention and lack of repetition weakens the power of the habit. These principles apply to the formation of both good and bad habits. Positive thoughts and actions create good habits. Negative thoughts and actions create harmful habits.

We can use these principles to eliminate and replace bad habits with good ones. We can gradually starve bad habits to death by not giving them our attention. As we pay more attention to forming a good habit, the new brain groove slowly gains power. Eventually, the new positive brain groove dominates the negative groove, and good habits drive out the bad. Without this transformation, spiritual growth is impossible.

When we are assigned painful problems in the school of life, we need to do the homework. All too often, however, we play hooky by escaping into the pleasures of a bad habit. If we repeat this behavior, at some point we get addicted. We end up with the original problem and a host of additional difficulties associated with addiction. Addiction leads to wild emotions, mental storms, paranoia, rage, humiliation, chaotic relationships, job loss, disease, and death. We can avoid this by doing our homework, by learning how to be good pain managers. Learning how to manage our suffering is critical on the spiritual path. However, most of us slide down the path of bad habits early in our lives in our attempt to avoid pain.

Bad habits include smoking, use of drugs or alcohol, excessive eating, compulsive gambling, compulsive shopping, addiction to the internet, computer or television, addiction to sex, money, fame, work, activity, power, or dependency on others at the expense of independence and individuality (a condition known as codependency or relationship addiction). Although bad habits are pleasurable in the beginning, their eventual evolution into emptiness and torment is inevitable as they force us to act in ways contrary to our true nature. We want to express Love, compassion, kindness, patience, and courage.

To begin the process of transforming bad habits to spiritual power, we must recognize that the pain of the bad habit is worse than the pain of healing. Cultivating good habits is difficult, but it is more difficult to maintain bad habits.

There are hundreds of good physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual habits. These fall into three categories:

1. Constructive activities related to health, work, relationships, recreation, or hobbies.

2. The habits of a seeker: the spiritual methods described in this and other spiritual books.

3. The habits of a sage: spiritual qualities such as Love, compassion, forgiveness, courage, strength, and others listed in the spiritualalphabet.
