THE STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS DIAGRAM
In a lecture on his States of Consciousness Diagram, Elmer Green maps out seven levels of consciousness/energy/matter. He explains their relationships to the brain, the unconscious mind, the egoic self, the High Self, and the planetary field of mind. Dr. Green refers to this diagram and its levels in all his other talks and in The Ozawkie Book of the Dead, thus the material in this lecture is necessary for understanding what he teaches.

Beyond Biofeedback
Elmer and Alyce Green. (1977). Ft. Wayne, IN: Knoll Publishing Co. Out of print.
Enjoy reading this downloadable and searchable groundbreaking book.
In Beyond Biofeedback, Dr. Elmer and Alyce Green provide the psychophysiologic rationale for biofeedback, neurofeedback and beyond. They emphasize the role of volition in motivating psychophysiologic change, healing and personal growth. The Greens developed clinical biofeedback as a self-regulation skills based approach. They present the process of learning to quiet body, emotions, and thoughts, leading to intuitive awareness and spiritual transformation. They describe philosophical roots that led to fascinating research into unusual psychophysiologic control by yogis, brain-wave self-regulation and studies of creativity and reverie states. They take the reader “beyond” biofeedback to describe psychophysiologic abilities of adepts including Swami Rama and Jack Schwarz who, among other feats, pushed a large sail-maker’s needle through his bicep muscles without pain or normal bleeding. They propose a science in which mind and matter are not forever separate.

DISCUSSIONS OF THE SEVENTEEN PROPOSITIONS
The Seventeen Propositions are a set of proposed concepts for understanding the relationship between the psyche and the spirit, the process they undergo after death, the process of reincarnation, and the soul’s developmental process culminating in full enlightenment or graduation from “Earth School.” Separate recordings of approximately one hour each are devoted to each of the Propositions.
Proposition 1 – The soul or psyche is mortal, while the SOUL or spirit is immortal.
Discussion of this Proposition includes that Alyce Green occasionally spoke during the late, non-verbal stages of her dementia, channeling her spirit which commented on Alyce’s spiritual journey or instructed Elmer as to how to manage her disorganized behavior. When ego boundaries are compromised, as in dementia and other states, there is potential for influence of dark forces on the soul.

Proposition 4 – The mortal soul, often called the astral body, is what we normally identify with as “ourselves.” It is the conscious and subconscious amalgam of emotion and thought which makes decisions and conducts affairs in our daily life.

Proposition 9 – The after-death bardo consists of many gradations (densities) of emotional and mental substance into which the soul “rises” like a balloon until it reaches that level in the Earth’s emotional-mental atmosphere which corresponds with the density or subtlety of its feelings and thoughts – conscious, subconscious, and superconscious – during its just-completed life on earth.

Proposition 13 – If the soul has emotional/mental attachments, those attachments limit the “upward” progress of the soul. The soul then remains in the bardo until it becomes dissatisfied with its bardoexperience – until it yearns for the light. At that point the SOUL absorbs from the soul its mental and emotional refinements, the moral developments of its recent life, whatever is fit for Heaven.

Proposition 14 – The process of absorption of mental and emotional refinements by the SOUL is followed by a second death – the death of the mortal soul – in which the SOUL’s last remaining connection with the previous personality is severed.
