A Message From Paula:
Thank you for visiting Paula Horan.org. Currently I am on a “sabbatical” engaged in inner exploration and research until the Spring of 2021. For the duration, I am unavailable online and am not engaging in any public activities or leading programs. I am essentially off the data grid.
I encourage all of my students to continue the practice of Reiki on both oneself and others to help quiet the mind and raise life force energy. You might read the preface below this notice to a new Chinese edition of one of my books which explains how Reiki, like meditation, can be used to help break the greatest plague of our generation: cyber obsession.
For those who have participated in Core Empowerment, I encourage you to continue practicing daily meditation for at least 10 – 20 minutes (preferably 30 minutes) every morning using either the “Thinking Thinking” meditation or Shyamata with the body, and to do different ”micro” practices throughout the day such as taking a few seconds to evoke a “Wrathful, Smiling Countenance” followed by Streaming Compassion From your Heart and Exuding it Through the Eyes. Other micro practices to break through the habit of identifying with conditioned mind are found in my book Fierce Innocence.
To keep fostering non-dual awareness, further, I suggest watching the videos of Dzongsar Kyhentse Rinpoche on You Tube for his naturally free flowing contemporary teachings of the Buddha with his lovely sense of humor and compassion which comes out especially in the question and answer sessions. At times he combines theatrical portrayals of certain sutras to highlight his talks. I especially recommend the fairly recent teaching he gave in Delhi on Vimalakirti for a look at an ancient sutra that highlights how a very worldly type of individual can still transcend the illusory state of samsara and live an enlightened life. The set of videos on the Prajnaparamita Sutra are a beautiful rendition of one of the key Mahayana teachings on emptiness.
I have recently been turned onto the free online teachings of Bentinho Massaro, a true spiritual prodigy and guru for our time, at his free www.TrinityAcademy.com . It is clear, he has had an Indian influence and later also experienced Vajrayana teachings which are more predominant today, for example in the Tibetan Dzogchen teachings which evoke non-dual awareness.
Those who have done Core Empowerment will appreciate his teachings which are easy to follow and are explained in slightly different words; the key points regarding presence awareness versus ego identification, “de-labeling” to drop the habit of reification (This refers to how labeling both solidifies matter and keeps it static), our delusory subject/object relationship with reality, etc. all organized in a succinct manner to help the newbie gain a quick and easy grasp of the structure of reality leading to a direct experience of their true nature.
The advanced practitioner will also gain great benefit by hearing the same concepts described in a unique way by someone who has great clarity regarding the true nature of reality; who can experience things as they are, and can express it well.
When you complete the Trinfinity Academy, there are also two more pay websites containing numbers of recorded live retreats which can further enhance your direct experience, helping you to more fully integrate non-dual awareness into your everyday life. Bentinho’s goal to help enlighten humanity by 2035 is commendable. In this difficult time of degeneration, I pray that his teachings go viral.
Note: Because it is said that the best student only gets about 35% of what a really good teacher teaches, it is helpful to listen to these teachings at the very least, three times. It is one thing to understand these teachings intellectually, but ultimately we want to evoke a direct experience of our true nature repeatedly, so that it starts to stick. My advice is to listen over and over again and allow your “thick skull” to be de-programmed of numerous lifetimes of delusory victimhood, hope, doubt and fear.
So to re-cap: Take time away from your cyber obsession (see below), turn off all routers, cell phones and computers at night and suggest that your neighbors do the same. Allow your brain to regenerate; fall asleep doing Reiki to your head. Meditate in the morning first thing and only turn on your cell phone on the way to work. Do micro practices throughout the day to make the mind malleable. For inspiration and to help de-program our minds which are deeply imbedded in the delusion of duality, watch the videos of Dzongsar Kyhentse Rinpoche, Bentinho Massaro, my own Indian Guru Papaji (H.W.L.Poonja) , or your own Guru.
For those who wish to clear karmic dross, a number of my previous online Karma Completion radio shows will be archived on this site. Each one contains a pertinent EFT rundown. Wishing you a great day.

Paula
In the following new preface for Reiki: 108 Question and Answers I examine three things:
The biggest challenge humans face today, how it is harming us and how you can use Reiki to help.
The biggest challenge humans face today, how it is harming us and how you can use Reiki to help.
Humanity: Our Present Challenge
It has been 16 years since I wrote the preface for the first edition of this book. Many changes have happened in my life as I am sure is true for all of my readers. The questions and answers in this book are still pertinent, however, but what is not discussed and what I feel is of grave importance, that we need to pay attention to, is humanity’s current cyber obsession. A walk down any main street on this planet gives an acute picture of the problem as we observe passers by glued to their cell phones chatting away, completely oblivious to their actual surroundings. No longer lost in our own thoughts (which is enough of a distraction), our minds are hurtled here and there, drawn in and then sent careening by AI’s hypnotizing frequency.
Computers, “Smart” TVs and “Smart” cell phones now rule our life. How smart they are is questionable. For several years my students in China and India have asked me what to do to get their children to shut off their computers and most of all, stop their computer game addictions. It seems parents are simply too exhausted and hypnotized by their own cell phones to take the time to discipline their children and bear with the consequences of an angry and distressed child coming off of AI frequency addiction.
A part of this degradation of our thinking capacity, is the fact that people can now only focus in sound bites, their attention thrown hither and thither from some video to a personal call and back again; this habitual pattern repeated over and over until one is completely unable to focus for more then a few minutes. Five years ago when I put out a new edition of my book Heal Yourself With Ozone, I added many subheadings in the chapters, to aid my readers who now suffer from extremely short attention spans. In a recent discussion with a fellow writer, he advised me to now hone in even more and never have more than three key points in any one book.

Identification With the Intellect and the Push For More AI
Is this really what humanity wants for itself? Too many people seem to be brain dead when it comes to the hoo haa regarding transhumanism: the push for placement of AI (artificial intelligence) chips and accessories in the human body. Just yesterday I read an article about some software engineer who had chips for his garage door opener, front door and lights all implanted in his wrists. No doctor would help him, so he asked a veterinarian to insert them.
What people don’t understand (even the so called experts), is that once you have AI implanted in your body, you will no longer have the capability to realize enlightenment. Enlightenment simply means the innate capability we all have to experience our true nature; the ability to experience unity in all things. It is humanity’s greatest asset and comes from our innate capacity to experience both cognitive awareness and simultaneously the emptiness in all things (pure quantum physics). Our heartfelt compassion is a result of these two.
What keeps us from experiencing the enlightment that we are, which causes us to seek out spiritual masters, is our identification with an illusory separate self, the very ego which clings to intelligence as a survival tool. There is no doubt, intelligence is a helpful tool in this world, but not if you identify with it, as who or what you are. Unfortunately it is what most of us do, including myself. It is only because I have had the grace to be taught by great masters to see through the mechanical nature of the ego ( by the way, ego = intellect, intellect = ego), I have had the grace to experience my true nature.
Like our own intelligence that is dualistic and as a result creates our subject/object experience of the world, AI is also binary (dualistic). The shortcoming of AI and of the intellect, is that they can only experience things by comparison. I understand hot because I have experienced cold. The same goes for comfortable - uncomfortable, positive – negative, good – bad, happy – sad, male – female, etc. When we identify with our ego (the subject), which is only a compilation of thoughts of who we think we are, everything else our awareness perceives, which is caught up in the delusion of ego, becomes an object.
The bottom line is that ego is a thought. As such it has no substance. Yet it is our thought that creates our universe, our experience and causes all of manifestation to appear. All that we see, hear, feel, think is a creation of our own mind, including the body. Although even quantum physics proves that everything is one continuum, much as the Buddha discovered in his own inquiry 2,500 years ago, the ego creates an illusory subject /object relationship with the world causing us to feel separate and alone. It is this belief in a separate self or ego, that causes everything we experience to seem like it is coming from the outside, that evokes fear.
Ego is a thought, a survival mechanism to protect the body that itself, is a mental creation. Ego is totally, permanently, dualistic. It will not and can not, ever experience oneness. And the same is true of AI. If AI is implanted in humans, which is the ultimate goal suggested by advocates of trans-humanism, we will live permanently paranoid lives. We will live in permanent fear of what seems to be outside of us, but is created by our own mind.

Reiki: One Solution
Love and compassion arise when we experience that we are all one. The problem is, that due to our identification with our ego, we can’t read circumstances accurately. We can’t perceive reality directly as it is. We perceive everything as a threat. And so it is with AI. In an article I read recently, scientists in the U.S., Germany and India who were commissioned to develop AI, suffered attacks by AI when they attempted to shut it off. Our intellect has a similar stance, which by nature is always on the defense. Thankfully as humans, we have something far superior: our own cognitive awareness and deep down, an awareness of emptiness. In this emptiness, spaciousness we are all one. It only takes dis-identifying with ego/intellect to notice it. And Reiki, like the practice of meditation, helps us gain momentum toward this direct experience of our true nature, of which compassion is the natural offshoot.
So take the time to give yourself the gift of Reiki, allow it to calm your mind and raise your life force energy. At the very least, as you fall asleep, and then during the first moments as you wake up. From there sit up and meditate if even for a few moments and then go about your day.
