Bending the Rules of the Universe - An Exclusive Interview with Richard Bartlett

Located at http://www.matrixenergetics.com/soundsarticle.html

Richard Bartlett’s Matrix Energetics workshops have become tremendously popular—not just because the experience is a cross between a healing seminar and a rock concert, but because what he teaches changes peoples’ lives in ways they never thought possible. What started for Richard Bartlett as a series of treatments in his chiropractic practice has evolved into a “technology of consciousness” for opening the doors of possibility. Here he talks to us about Matrix Energetics and what makes it so unique.

Sounds True: You call Matrix Energetics a “technology of consciousness.” What does that mean?

Richard Bartlett: One of the challenges in teaching Matrix Energetics is you don’t want to over-define it. You don’t want to pigeonhole it as a technique or a method of problem-solving, because that imposes limitations. Matrix Energetics is about expanding our perceptual model. Each person has a set point, like a thermostat, for what they’re willing to believe, what they’re willing to experience in the next moment, and what they can actually sense in the world.

With Matrix Energetics, you acknowledge that every model has limitations. Then you realize that you don’t have to play by those limitations—and the key word is “play.” Once you do that, you embrace the idea that change can be instantaneous, and you don’t have to worry about how that change going to show up. All this is to invite the power of grace. Grace is that limitless potential for something to happen, literally, miracles to happen. The miracles happen in between the spaces of conscious awareness.

Sounds True: What do you mean by the “spaces between?”

Richard Bartlett: Our left-brain consciousness puts things together like frames in a movie, processing snapshots of experience in a way that appears to be one continuous activity. It works at a speed of maybe one to twelve experiences per second. The brain takes each snapshot, then filters it through our conceptual model, and strings it together into something that gives an illusion of continuous activity.

Once you realize that, you can say, “In the space between my perceptions, anything can happen.” If that’s just a statement in your head it won’t do much, but if you drop down—as we say in Matrix Energetics—into your heart, that’s the place where intent can work. It can happen in an instant. And if you transcend the limitations of your conceptual model just one time, that can be enough to change everything in your life.

Sounds True: When you talk about the place where intent can work, do you mean “focused intention,” as it’s usually talked about?

Richard Bartlett: Not really. When people do practices based on “the power of intention,” they tend to get stuck in the conscious mind. The trouble with focused intent is it’s still based upon what we think can happen. You’re supposed to visualize what you want to happen, which is about imposing an outcome on the universe. That’s a left-brain, rational method and it usually doesn’t work.

Sounds True: So would you say the rational mind is an obstacle in Matrix Energetics?

Richard Bartlett: I don’t see it that way. Look, I have two medical degrees—I’m a huge believer in rationality! The rational mind is your friend. All you need to do is go beyond the idea that you can define reality with just your rational, conscious mind. Because it’s much too limited. For that we need the limitless processing power of the right brain, or the unconscious.

There’s something Sri Aurobindo, the great Indian saint, said: “There are no physical laws in the universe. They’re more like suggestions.” What he means is that they’re hypnotic suggestions that our unconscious mind believes. Matrix Energetics helps you let go of the rigidity of those rules to be more flexible, and yet still retain those rules as appropriate for your reality.

One of the obstacles people hit working with Matrix Energetics is just the idea that something could be so graceful, so easy, and so without judgment. We don’t believe things can be that simple. One tactic you use to get past this block is to overload the left brain with information. You feed the left brain all of this scientific data it can handle. It’s all true material, and the left brain thinks it understands it, but nobody really does. Not even the physicists. So as your left brain tries to chew on that, it gets out of the way of your right brain. And it helps if you do it in a playful way.

Sounds True: Could you give me an example?

Richard Bartlett: Sure. Let’s look at this idea. Quantum physics is getting to the point where they’re saying consciousness must be added to any working model of reality. Everything has a quantum field, or what Rupert Sheldrake called a “morphic field” or identity. It’s almost like a blueprint. These morphic fields are like floating clouds of energy, of thought forms, that just wait for someone to have a thought, a feeling, or an intent. Our thoughts polarize the quantum field like a magnet, with the larger field actually diffusing into your own the smaller field.

So here’s where you start to play with that concept. Think of it like the scene in Ghostbusters, when Dan Akroyd chooses the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. He thought it was a pretty benign choice, but then it turns into this great monstrosity. Our thoughts are like that. They’re like these sticky, Stay-Puft Marshmallow Men attempting to destroy the city, and what we have to do is develop different kinds of cities, different kinds of powers, where we learn to trust the innate divinity within us.

You have to realize the universe is completely unreal, just like the yogis talked about. You can’t just hold that as a thought. You have to become self-realized in that knowledge, and that doesn’t require effort. That requires letting go, because the more you try to grasp something like that, the more tangled up you’re going to be in your own thoughts.

The more you practice in a playful manner, a way that really gets you out of the left-brain trap, the more you create this awareness and this morphic field of instantaneous transformation. You don’t have to believe it. You just start out by playing with it, and then, at some point, you realize it’s playing with you.

Sounds True: You talk a lot about not the role of silliness and play. Are they useful in and of themselves?

Richard Bartlett: It’s interesting about play. You can redefine “play” to mean anything. If you are driving down the road, and you are fully engaged and enjoying your car, that can be engaged in play. Even if you’re stuck in traffic, you can choose to be stressed out, or you can choose to be happy. It’s that attitude.

It’s not play if you’re saying, “Well, I’m going to play for five minutes because it’s good for my blood pressure.” I’m sorry. You’re not playing; you’re doing therapy. Play is when you completely forget yourself, forget time, forget space, forget that you’re even human, and you’re just occupied with a moment, and you could call it “bliss.” The ancient yogis appeared to be very serious, but they had this kind of twinkle to their eyes, and they had this little smile, kind of like, “I know a joke, which is the universe isn’t real, and it’s just playing with us, and I’m playing back!”

Sounds True: There are lots of other healing techniques out there, and you say you don’t want Matrix Energetics limited to that. What’s the difference between a technique and what you’re calling “a technology of consciousness”?

Richard Bartlett: A technique is developed to meet the needs of a certain problem. But Einstein said that problems can’t be solved at the same level of consciousness that created them. That means you have to transcend your existing conceptual model to really get to the creative potential, or what has been called “the quantum potential,” the hidden awareness in the universe. The way you do this is you let go, you stop seeing yourself as separate, and you play like you mean it. You play like a child, where you’re practically hallucinating.

One of the things that I insist upon in Matrix Energetics is that it has observable, reproducible phenomenon that can be easily learned and then duplicated by anyone, because if it’s only I that could do it, then maybe you’d have to say, “Oh, I’m some fantastic healer.” I’m not the best model for a healer. I do everything wrong. I eat bacon for breakfast, I drink coffee, I don’t smoke because I just can’t stand it, but I mean I probably would if it were just because it’s a vice. I have every vice imaginable, and I can even develop some devices to improve my vices. It’s not about any of that, because if it were, then it would be so limited, no one would be able to approach it, because they’d have to either be holy, or meditating for 20 years, or mastering qi or prana or all of these things.

You can learn that stuff. I even have techniques in Matrix Energetics, like two-pointing and using the 21 Fundamental Frequencies. You can learn techniques or practices exactly right and get them down pat, but unless you get into the playful state that lets you set aside the conceptual limits of time and space, your techniques won’t do much. They’ll never transcend what you think is possible.

Sounds True: One last question. Why do people fall down on stage during your seminars when you use the two-point method on them?

Richard Bartlett: The falling down thing is just one aspect of a larger phenomenon we see a lot when people first experience Matrix Energetics. I think it happens because of the sudden understanding that we’re just composed of light, just photons and patterns of information. When we interact with each other on that basis, I think we change the actual spin or velocity of the photons. At that moment the left brain can no longer track reality as being real, the right brain takes over. You expand out. The conscious mind cannot keep up, and people tend to react by falling down. Or they go into bliss, or unconsciousness, or silliness, or laughter, or see colors, or hallucinate a frog on the floor next to them, or any number of things. They can experience joy. They can cry. They can literally experience transcendence.

I had a banker who I two-pointed. When I touched him, nothing appeared to happen. Someone asked me out in the audience, “Well, why didn’t he fall down?”

I said, “I don’t know! Let’s ask him!” And I said, “What happened? It didn’t look like much happened when I touched you.”

And he looked at me, he was still having trouble talking, and he said, “When you touched me, my whole body disappeared, I experienced the void, I was out in outer space in a transcendent phenomena that I still cannot describe.”

I said, “Okay, thanks for sharing that!”

I’ve seen astonishing things happen to people when they make room for miracles to show up. I’ve seen spontaneous healings—like broken feet getting healed in an instant. These things break our conceptual guidelines, but you realize they’re perfectly natural and normal when you see laws of the universe are more like suggestions.

If we expect miracles, we are more likely to experience them, but that doesn’t mean your life should be predicated on the need for a miracle. When you need a miracle, or you need to be healed, or you need something to happen, your own expectations of what will happen if it doesn’t are in the way. When you let go of the need for something to happen or not happen, that’s where grace resides. And anything’s possible there.

Love this. It occurs to me... If we can bend the laws of the universe and manifest, then what would be the most awesome manifestation to play with?

Hi Adamant :)
Perhaps this answers your question:
quote:

The center of the Earth is this great transmuter of energy, just as you see in pictures of our Earth's magnetic field. That's our cycle, pulling reincarnated souls back in and through it again. A sign that you are reaching human level is that you are beginning to evolve an individual consciousness. The animals have a group soul, and they reincarnate in group souls. A deer is pretty much going to be a deer forever. But just being born a human, whether deformed or genius, shows that you are on the path to developing an individual consciousness. That is in itself part of the group consciousness called humanity.

I don't buy it. Any being with a mind matters, including hell realm beings, plants, animals, demigods and long life deities. Let's not forget the billions of planets in the Cosmos that support sentient life. There's no "caste system" of life where some life consists of individuals and other life doesn't. And there is no higher and lower life form. There is simply a spectrum where suffering is on one end of the polar spectrum and bliss is on the other. Hell beings suffer immensely. God realm beings enjoy immense bliss. Humans live smack dab in the middle of the spectrum, and buddhas transcend it.

For the most part I think that our vocabularies are much too different to discuss anything and come to some kind of understanding about it. For example, you have defined "mind" as an all pervasive entity and perhaps you really mean 'awareness' or 'emptiness'. ?? I don't know.

Are you saying that the "soul does not exist"

Are you saying that all is "mind" or "awareness"?

If everything consists of light and the light is God conscious or "aware", perhaps all reality is aware. That is fine and perhaps that is a good definition. Perhaps all of reality is evolving and progressing as it should.

However, if one buys into the story that souls do exist, that some beings have souls and other do not, and that souls are closer to God than entities without souls, isn't there some practical use in that? Doesn't it help explain the purpose to life? How do you prove the Buddhist concept of reincarnation without a concept of a soul or something to carry on from one life to the next?

Doesn't that concept help to explain some kind of evolutionary pattern or progression that would ulitmately lead to God's perfection? Or are you saying that these divine plans do not exist?

Yes, some beings suffer and some beings are blissful. Didn't Buddha escape from both? Yes, you mentioned that.

Here is an interesting link that contains many experiences from people who have died. It describes the lower and higher realms. The topic is the "VOID". It agrees with your statements that there are many beings that suffer. It even says that you will find some animals in the other planes.

link: http://www.near-death.com/experienc...earch15.html

I believe that a realized buddhist would say that none of what was written on that page truly exists, because all is emptiness. If you do read that page, could you please explain to me the difference between "emptiness" and the "void" because I'm thinking that they are pretty much the same thing at this time, and as such, is something that one shouldn't strive for.

Hi TI,

Not because I am "Buddhist," but because of my own near death experiences, and the experiences of seeing others close to me "on the other side," I recognize that there are roughly three general realms of samsara, desire realm, form realm, and formless realm. The three realms are distinguished based on the predominate karma of the predominate collective consciousness. One can google these things to get a better idea about it.

Mind, awareness, emptiness are all synonymous to me. I believe all reality is this aware emptiness. I believe that a soul exists in the sense that I believe there is a mind, a collection of traits and karmic tendencies (call it set S), where S is the set onto which karmic consequences are attributed. However, S is not an entity; it is an impermanent set of traits and tendencies and nothing more. And S changes constantly, like a river. When the karmic tendencies are exhausted (from practicing the path), S ceases. Before one takes up the path, the attribution of karma to S is what results in reincarnation. (wikipedia 12 links of dependent origination)

That does not mean that all this happens because of God's plan. Nor does it mean that some beings with minds have "souls" and others do not. All beings with even a semblance of a mind has a set of karmic tendencies, even bacteria have desire for food.

I don't subscribe to the view that God has a purpose for life. Life has it's own purpose, and that purpose is self-directed according to the predominate trait of the particular realm. In the desire realm it is desire. In the form realm it is some abstract concept like beauty. In the formless realm it is the meditative concentrations, like neither perception nor non-perception or complete cessation.

Then, the buddhas transcend all this to benefit beings so that we can finally get off the wheel.

The issue of whether animals have souls or not has been debated by theologians and philosophers forever. Most who have owned a dog or a cat will have little doubt about the answer. The western debate has shifted in favour of an affirmative answer, too. Hence animal rights.

Hi Everyone.
Since this post is about Matrix Energetics I thought I'd continue along that vein. Today I found some very interesting teachings by Gurudeva and it sure sounded like what Richard Bartlett and the ME people are talking about. (I wonder if Richard read Gurudeva's book).. That is, all possible combinations of outcomes of reality exist and if we have the ability to choose or intend a fixed point in time and space, it is just a matter going back and choosing the desired outcome or frame to create by shifting our awareness and intention to it and then releasing that.

Sounds fantastic, doesn't it?

Well read on.

This is from Gurudeva's "Merging with Siva: The Nature of Thought":
link: http://www.himalayanacademy.com/res...s_ch-30.html

QUOTE
There are various strata of thought, and of these the most obvious, of course, is what normally is termed thinking. The motivation thought stratum of the astral plane, because of its being more refined in nature, therefore more permanent, precedes all externalized thinking.

We are not aware of this until we begin to meditate often, having perfected concentration and meditation. However, there is yet another area of thought, which can be viewed from the fifth dimension of the mind, and here we see form in all phases of manifestation from one point in inner space and time. We can look to the future and to the past, viewing one singular object, and see a change in manifestation as new, individual frames on a motion picture film, each one being slightly different from the other.

This really has to be experienced to be believed -- that all phases of manifestation and all of the various and varied forms of the universe exist in the great circle of life. Therefore, we can conclude that it is the point in time and space where our awareness resides that keys us in to seeing only one frame at a time on this circle of creation, preservation and dissolution of form, which leads into the creation of the same form again.

The mystic, once recognizing his particular point in time and space, can travel around this circle of life at will, his control being prior sadhana performed well during early years of unfoldment.


END QUOTE


So Adamant and Chinna, perhaps there are souls and an evolutionary pattern in the circle of life, but after reading the quote above, I would be inclined to think that all is God in different stages of development and by learning the true nature of awareness and by gaining the ability to control one's awareness, one can witness the totality of existence as one infinite manifestation of God (or emptiness). Another conclusion is that we have the ability to pick and choose which frame to manifest, so we could in fact perform miracles or at least choose miraculous outcomes by choosing the desired outcome's frame...

Hi TI

God is 'the condition of the possibility for development' as the theologians say. God (infinite, eternal, unknowable, etc etc) doesn't do stages of development. We do stages of development, but they are not stages of development on the way to anything. That was Teilhard's error. The most we can say is that they are training in their and our insignificance. Or that they are entertainment. Like Matrix Energetics, which looks a hoot. I am reminded of charismatic christian evangelical meetings, everyone swooning in the spirit all over the place.

Hi :)
Here is one video of Richard Bartlett making a young lady swoon (wish I could do that :) ):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xexh...ture=related

And here is a radio interview with Richard Bartlett where he discusses the Physics of Miracles:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsHV...ture=related

Not only was it very interesting to hear Richard's philosophy about how we are confined by our belief systems and about how we have to open up and release them in order for Grace to act, it was also very nice to hear all the people phoning into that radio show with their stories about miracles. There is some fascinating material here, especially the part about measuring, finding a connection, dropping it into your heart with intent and then releasing it. Kind of reminds me of the AYP samyama practice. :)

Hi TI

Well, he seems a real showman with it, but 'slaying in the spirit' happens in ordinary small church congregations around the world, and has thus happened for centuries. There was a major global wave of 'rediscovery' of this kind of phenomenon in christian churches from the 1980s, which started in Canada. If you go into any charismatic church, especially for a 'ministry of healing' service, there would be people put into a swoon one by one by the Minister and others, in all probability, and people will describe the sudden surge of energy within the body, the moment they are touched. I once heard an ordinary christian guy talking about the energy going up and down the spine, and his need to touch others with it. People often roll about on the floor with it, or make strange noises, or do what we would understand to be asanas, and all the other things familiar to yogis. In the Christian church it is regarded as the work of God through the Holy Spirit, and a blessing, along with speaking in tongues. Some well-known Christian healers, such as Fr Peter M Rookey OSM, a Servite Friar, have been associated with well-attested miracles of healing. So, none of this is peculiar to the east or to yoga. I guess the difference in christian circles is that the phenomena are not cultivated individually, but tend to arise in mass gatherings, where people practise many ways of 'letting go' and releasing into God, ie the Absolute, ie kind of meditation. Collective hymn singing can invoke the same effects, initiation by music, as can the most profoundly moving preaching, initiation by word.

Most people who invoke such phenomena, at least in christian circles, don't make any money from it, nor advertise it. It is 'God's work', not their own insight.

I guess what's interesting to me about Matrix Energetics is that it is a secular/scientific perspective on centuries old phenomena, a kind of charismatic religion of science, where quantum stands in for God (or vice versa over the centuries).

At the Matrix Energetics web site, www.matrixenergetics.com you can order Richard's two books:

Matrix Energetics (The Science and Art of Transformation)
The Physics of Miracles (Tapping in to the Field of Consciousness Potential)

For those, that are unable to attend a seminar in person Richard and Sounds True have put together a package called the The Matrix Energetics Experience (Shift Your Consciousness with the Healing Energies and Hidden Frequencies of the Universe). It consists of a DVD (49 min), six CDs (6 hrs 30 min), a study guide (96 pages) and 41 cards. Though it does not cover everything presented during a live seminar, it does help introduce one to the Matrix Energetic Seminar state, how to do a two-point and using the 22 M.E. frequencies. This can also be ordered from the website.

I believe all of the above are also available through Amazon.

The free forum at their website also provides much input from others playing with Matrix Energetics from around the world. Questions can be directed to Richard or any of the M.E. facilitators there. The many free youtube videos also help.

Hi :)
I've just finished reading the "Physics of Miracles" and I am starting the "Matrix Energetics" book. I also ordered the package but it hasn't come yet.

Some interesting points I'm focusing on:
1) The electron, when observed, assumes the orbit that the perceiver expects. When unobserved, the electron's location is in an unpredictable field of randomness and more like a wave. Light behaves both as a particle and wave.. Photons exibit the same behaviour as electrons.

2) Applying consciousness to a wave (such as light, and everything is a form of light) collapses the wave into 'particle behaviour' and the particles manifest according to expectations. If you can collapse the wave through observation into a percieved/imagined/visualized different outcome and release that, it becomes reality.

3) There is a field (a field of the heart space) that we can intermingle with other persons' fields. When intermingled, not only can we view the other person's mind structure that is influencing their manifestations of reality but we can also influence the other person's constructs in that field through imagination, intent, visualization, attention and by finally dropping the new outcome into that intermingled heart space and letting it go. This causes the person to swoon or pass out or be 'slain in the spirit' or fall to the ground.

4) Our belief systems limit our perceptions. Ask only open-ended questions like: "What would it be like if I didn't have this ailment?" to help you focus on the desired outcome. Don't hold any preconceptions about possibilities.

Another interesting thing about Matrix Energetics is that Richard Bartlett quotes from Jesus, Carlos Castenda, Yogananda Paramhansa and other famous people, which indicates to me that he does have a history of classic spiritual inquiry and has read many books.

Today it occured to me that that practices of two-pointing in Matrix Energetics could be a method used to perform shaktipat or deeksha. Interesting thought.

Does a master or yogi simply transcend waking consciousness then sleep consciousness and arrives at this very deep level of super subconsciousness that might be called the 'heart space' which is located nearer to the center of the body, and then simply functions from there? It is interesting to have the steps and procedures written down in layman's terms as Richard has done.

It also occurs to me that women would be better at Matrix Energetics because they live more from the heart.. :) Men have a harder time dropping out of the mind/head into the heart.. Maybe Osho is right when he says that women should not meditate on the third eye, but instead on their chest area (nipples to be exact, until their breasts melt. -Book of Secrets)...

The other question that comes to mind is this: Sometimes healers take on the diseases of the healed. It is sort of like taking the karma away from someone and transferring it to yourself. There is no mention of this type of interaction that I have seen so far in Matrix Energetics experiences.

Matrix Energetics kind of reminds me of the good fairy, waving her magic wand and granting you your wish in the blink of an eye.
