THE H ARMONICS OF HUMAN
PERCEPTION
Understanding and Applying the Harmonics of Human
Awareness to Compose the Life You Desire
A UTHOR’S NOTE:
This report that you are now reading was written five years ago. How fun for
me to go back to this now and find that it still holds true! This was written at
a time in my life when I was in a major transformation, a time when I was
discovering how to transform my understanding of manifestation and TRUE
Abundance from mental concepts into an actualized expression in and
through my life.
The beautiful thing is that even now, when I have established a solidconnection to the art of manifestation and a profound relationship with
TRUE Abundance I still discovered powerful insights in this report.
So no matter where YOU are on your journey into abundance, this report
contains plenty of great material for you to learn and integrate into your
abundance practice, material you can immediately put into practice in your
life so that you can attract a lot more of what you want easily and gracefully.
Enjoy!

The thing always happens
that you really believe in:
and the belief in a thing
makes it happen.
Frank Lloyd Wright
INTRODUCTION
Have you jumped onto the Law of Attraction bandwagon? Have you gotten
caught up in the hype created by the movie The Secret? Are you wondering
why the Law of Attraction is not delivering on the promises of overflowing
abundance and a life of ease and grace?
If so, read on because I’m going to share some information with you in this
report that has the potential to restore your
belief in the Law of Attraction and help you
create a life that you truly desire!
But first I want to tell you a little story.
It starts in 2003 when a mother – of all
people – sends her son a book with the
inscription “Dear Edward, I hope this book
opens the door to great health, happiness and
wealth. Love Mom.”
The book was Lynn Grabhorn’s, Excuse Me Your Life Is Waiting . I was the
son. And it was my first exposure to the Law of Attraction. Well, that’s not
exactly true. It was my first exposure to the process of manifestation that has
been formally labeled “Law of Attraction.”
I had been studying manifestation tools for years, through books such as
Shakti Gawain’s Creative Visualization and Deepak Chopra’s The 7 Spiritual
Laws of Success. And while I understood and believed in the concepts of
manifestation, I was not doing so well with implementing them in the “real”
world.
Then along comes Lynn’s book and this big old light bulb goes off in my head.
“This is it!” I thought to myself. “This is the missing piece!”
But was it?

Was this “Law of Attraction” real? Did it work? Would it help me create a
truly abundant life?
I believed it would. And I jumped head-first into the Law of Attraction. I read
books by Esther and Jerry Hicks, Wayne Dyer and others. I listened to
recordings, took teleclasses, and went to seminars. And I did my best to put
the tools I was learning into practice in my own life. I “knew” that the Law of
Attraction could work and should work. The potential of this concept had me
so enthralled that I even began teaching it to others.
Now, in retrospect, jumping in and teaching the Law of Attraction to others
when I had barely scratched the surface with it was perhaps just a bit
premature. But the crazy thing is that my students loved what I was
teaching. And, in fact, many of them had better results with the Law of
Attraction than I did! I remember the first time I taught a 12-week Law of
Attraction course and had students coming in with these amazing stories of
what they were attracting while I was just barely paying the bills!
Someone once said that “you teach what you most need to learn.” Obviously I
needed to learn the Law of Attraction. And, for me, teaching is a tool that
accelerates my learning process. Clearly, I understood the concepts and was
able to communicate them to my students. But even though my students
were “getting it” there was a pretty significant disconnect in my ability to
apply the Law of Attraction successfully in my own life.
Certainly there were brief glimpses of validation: moments when the
universe conspired to make it extremely clear that Law of Attraction was at
work in my life. But for much of that time, my life was still filled with a lot of
struggle.
I continued to inch by financially. I inched toward the brink of bankruptcy.
My wife and I struggled to move through our core issues, and my business
saw flashes of success only to be followed by troughs of stagnation.
So much for the Law of Attraction being the missing piece!
Except…
While many aspects of my life did not experience quantum leaps forward, a
key aspect of my life did: Perhaps THE key aspect of my life.
I started feeling better about myself and my life.

I believe in looking reality
straight in the eye and
denying it.
Garrison Keillor
Now you might say, “Great, Ed. You were feeling better about your life, but
your life still sucked.”
Well, if I had been focused on the parts of my life that were not “working” I
might have agreed with you that my life “sucked.” But because the Law of
Attraction had taught me to focus my attention on the positive and see the
good in all of it, my life very rarely felt
“sucky” to me.
Yes, there were definitely some moments
when I found myself staring the sucky parts
straight in the eye. And if you caught me in
one of those moments I probably would have
agreed with you.
But far more often, you would have caught me looking at all the good stuff in
my life and feeling blessed about the life I had created.
At the point when I realized that I was spending more time focused on what
was good and positive and joyous in my life I also realized that there was
nothing standing between me and the life I truly wanted to live!
You see, it’s important to remember that unlike with a chicken and an egg, in
the Law of Attraction game of “which came first,” there is definitely a correct
answer.
A better life does not lead to a better feeling
Feeling better leads to a better life!
Now this better feeling about myself and my life didn’t happen overnight. I
didn’t wake up one morning and suddenly feel great. But over time, I started
to realize that I was excited about my life, and that I was happy more often
than not. And the most important thing I noticed is that I started to believe
in myself.
If I had looked just at the external world for validation, there’s no way I
would have begun to believe in myself. I had minimal savings, a pile of debt,
a marriage that was breaking up and string of potentially successful business

ventures that had never come to fruition. Not much evidence for believing in
myself.
But even in the midst of the most difficult struggle, I never stopped believing
in the Law of Attraction. Even though it was not working in the way I might
have wanted it to, I knew that it was working. And I knew that if I kept at
it I could turn the Law of Attraction into a powerful ally. And I also knew
that the external world could and would change to reflect my belief.
And somehow, because I never lost faith in the Law of Attraction, even when
the external evidence was pointing in the exact opposite direction, that faith,
slowly, and almost imperceptibly, seemed to turn itself inward, onto me. I
began to believe in myself. I began to trust that I could leverage the Law of
Attraction to create an awesome life.
Because through all of it, I never lost sight of the fact that “It’s all good!” I
never let go of the truth that my life is exactly as it is supposed to be. Right
now. And the more I held to that belief, even in the face of seemingly
“negative” circumstances, the more I reclaimed my ability to attract ever
more exciting, positive, joyful, fulfilling and truly abundant experiences into
my life!
And that’s what I want for you.
But hold on, I’m getting ahead of myself.
You see, my story doesn’t end there, or here. Because our growth doesn’t end
here, there, or anywhere. We can’t stop growing. There is no neutral on our
evolutionary journey. We’re either growing or we’re dying.
Sounds a bit black and white, I know. But it is! But no matter where you are
on your personal journey, there is room to continue growing. In fact that’s all
there is… room to grow.
But like I said, my story is not over. I have a lot of room to grow. And I love
that! I love that I have debts to pay off even as I am focusing on the creationof financial freedom. I love that I have the sadness and confusion of an
ending marriage even as I am focusing on a more expanded vision of a truly
amazing relationship. I love that I am pulling together pieces from old
business projects to focus on the creation of one program that will provide
massive value for others and massive wealth for me.

I love all of that! After all, it is the contrast in our lives that fuels our forward
momentum.
THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING IS NOT
ENOUGH!
If you’ve been studying Law of Attraction or pretty much any type of personal
development work, you are most likely familiar with the phrase “Power of
Positive Thinking.”
Napoleon Hill popularized that phrase in his book, Think and Grow Rich.
Unfortunately, when most people hear that simple phrase they assume that
they understand the full meaning of the concept.
For a long time I believed that Napoleon Hill was suggesting that the power
of positive thinking meant if you focused your thoughts on positive things you
would get positive things in your life. While that is a part of the concept, it is
really a tiny piece.
When you read Napoleon Hill’s book, you quickly realize that he is talking
about far more than thoughts. In fact, he addresses at least two other levels
of human perception in his exploration of success.
I believe that one of the major reasons that the Law of Attraction doesn’t
“work” for people is because they are attempting to attract their desires
through just one or two of the levels of perception and awareness.
That’s not enough!
It’s like performing a symphony with just the woodwinds or an opera with
just the tenors. Some beautiful music will come out, but the missing parts
will be very obvious.
In order to effectively attract your desires, you must be consciously workingwith at least three, and preferably four of your perceptual levels. When you

clearly articulate your desires and focus them at multiple perceptual levels,
you dramatically increase the ease and speed with which you can attract
those desires.
You’ll see why a bit later. But for now let’s set the stage for our discussion
with a look at out physical senses.
THE PHYSICAL SENSES
For centuries it has been widely accepted that humans have 5 physical
senses. These are the five senses we were taught in elementary school:
• Sight
• Sound
• Touch
• Taste
• Smell.
More recently, researchers have added several senses to the list including:
thermoception (perception of temperature), nociception (perception of pain),
equilibrioception (sense of balance) and proprioception (sense of our body inspace). Other researchers have subdivided some of the existing senses. For
instance, some divide the sense of taste into separate senses for sweet, sour,
salty, etc.
Unless we have a physical condition that impedes our ability to receive input
to one or more of our senses, we use all of them to perceive the world around
us. Sensory input is happening all the time on all levels.
Even if we are not aware of our sense of taste, those sense receptors are still
active, taking in information and passing data on to our brain.
Even when we are not actively exploring the texture of some object, our skin
is recording sensation of our clothing rubbing against it or the breeze blowing
across our face.
We may rely more heavily on one or two of our senses, but we have access to
and use all of them.

Hardin, Stephen J. Bender
W E MISS THEM W HEN THEY’RE GONE!
Often we become aware of our senses more acutely through their absence.
Most of us, unless you’re a chef or wine aficionado, don’t consciously use oursense of smell to access information about the world around us. However, if
you have a stuffed nose, you almost always notice the absence of smell and
sometimes taste.
When you swim underwater, you become very aware of how different your
sense of hearing is in the denser medium.
And when the lights go out and it is truly and
completely dark, it becomes very clear how much
we do, in fact, rely on vision to perceive ourphysical world.
I think it’s safe to say that, unless you have a
condition that limited one of your physical senses,
you would probably not “turn off” one of your
senses. After all, the world is a much richer place
when perceived through all of our senses.
But when it comes to the full spectrum of
perceptions and awareness that are available,most of us have turned off one or more of them.
Let’s take a look at the full spectrum of awareness that is available to us and
some ways to begin accessing more that spectrum.

BEYOND THE PHYSICAL SENSES: E XPLORING THE
FULL-SPECTRUM OF HUMAN PERCEPTION,
A WARENESS & RESPONSE
Now before we jump into an exploration of the levels of human awareness, I
want to give you a very important disclaimer.
I am NOT a neurobiologist, or any other scientific research type. I don’t claim
to be and definitely don’t want to be! So my explanation of these levels may
not coincide with what the scientists say. But my purpose here is not to give
you a lecture on the latest scientific research into human perception and
awareness. Rather, my intention is to provide you with a basic understandingof the different levels of perception, awareness and response; an
understanding of these levels that will allow you to dramatically increase
your effectiveness when working with the Law of Attraction.
Ok. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s move on and start
exploring the levels of human perception, awareness and response.

But before we do that, how about something completely different?
Take a look at the two shapes below.

Can you guess which is which? You’ll find the answer a little further on.

our growth and freedom.

THE FIVE LEVELS OF HUMAN A WARENESS,
PERCEPTION AND RESPONSE
Our physical senses provide us with a rich and vibrant window onto our
world. But these senses are just one mechanism through which we perceive
our world around us.
In addition to our physical sensory mechanisms, humans are equipped with
quite an impressive array of tools for perceiving and responding to the world
around and within us.
And just as we would not consciously choose to turn off any of those physical
senses, most of us would probably not consciously choose to turn off any ofour perceptual capabilities. But that is
exactly what most of us have done.
So let’s take a look at these five levels of
human awareness and explore how a deeper
understanding of these levels can help us
more effectively leverage the Law of
Attraction to create an awesome life!
Our awareness of the world around andwithin us occurs at many different levels. As
we get to know these levels we discover how
our beliefs influence our perception at each level.
This exploration of the levels of Perception, Awareness and Response is not
an attempt to classify and qualify them in evolutionary or consciousness
terms. Nor is our purpose to create a hierarchy or encourage a
“transcendence” of emotion or physical sensations. Rather we are looking for
an enhanced understanding of our levels of awareness, perception and
response in order to accelerate our personal growth.
So what are the levels of Perception, Awareness and Response?
Before I list them, I’ll tell you that we’re entering very murky waters with
this discussion. There is little agreement on the definitions of these

perceptual levels. But with that in mind, here is my take on the levels of
perception and Response.
A N E VOLUTIONARY PROGRESSION
In the model of Human Awareness that I work with in the Energetics of
Attraction course there are 5 distinctive levels of awareness. These levels
follow a roughly evolutionary progression. Caroline Myss, John White, and,
I’m sure, others, have gone so far as to suggest that there is a new human
sub-species coming into being with the ability to access the higher,
energetic/intuitive levels of information and awareness. This new sub-species
is named Homo Noeticus.
I differ slightly in that I believe all human beings are born with the ability to
access this level of perception but during our early years we are taught to
suppress and deny that higher wisdom and intuitive awareness.
Now though, we seem to be reaching a critical mass where a significant
number of people have accessed this intuitive level and are now providing a
powerful role model for others to follow. The personal and cultural
transformations that we are witnessing will continue to accelerate as more
and more people make the shift into this space of vibrational awareness.
More to come on that. But for now, let’s look at the five levels of Human
perception, awareness and response. They are:
1. Instinct – Pre-intellectual, innate sensory faculties.
2. Sensation – Physical, body-based sensations.
3. Emotion – A subjective bridge state that merges physical
sensations and thoughts.
4. Intellect – Mind/Thought.
5. Intuition – Trans-intellectual, non-linear, energetic or vibrational
perception and awareness.
Now let’s look at each of these levels and the way that I use these terms
within the context of the Energetics of Attraction.

Instincts:
Instincts are our basic, unlearned, inherited patterns of perceiving and
responding to the world around us. Instincts are the “hard wired” actions and
patterns that enable us to survive in the world. For many species lower on
the evolutionary ladder, instincts may be the only level of perception and
response to which they have access.
As we move up the evolutionary ladder, other levels of perception begin to
kick in. But instinct remains an important perceptual level.
Human infants relate to their environment through instincts. But beyond
infancy and early childhood, the role of instinct becomes unclear in humans.
Some scientists, who apply a very strict definition of instinct, suggest thatthere are NO truly instinctual behaviors in adult humans. But for our
evolutionary ancestors, instinctual awareness was a critical component in
their ability to survive.
Instincts provided our precursors with important, sometimes life-saving
information about the world around them; information was not accessible
through their physical senses.
Instincts serve one purpose: Survival. That’s it.
Instinct is a powerful source of information about the world around you. But
it is filtered through the lens of survival: Survival of the individual but even
more so, survival of the species.
Instincts only kick in when we perceive a threat to our survival. When we’re
sitting on the beach sipping a pina colada, our instinctual awareness has no
reason to be active. But if someone yells, “Shark!” that fight or flight
mechanism kicks in immediately.
The problem comes when our instinct has nothing to do. It gets bored and
scared and begins to look for ways to justify its presence in our lives; it has to
stretch to find predators to warn us about. The predators it finds, tend to be
things that may, or may not, actually be threats to our survival. In many
cases, they are, in fact, doorways to evolution.

The mind’s first step toself-awareness must be
through the body.
George Sheehan
Feelings/Physical Sensations:
Our physical sensory mechanism provides a
wonderful, tactile, sensual and powerful mode of
knowing the world around us. Feelings, as
distinct from emotions, are purely physical,
sensory experiences.
Our physical senses – sight, sound, touch, taste,
smell – fall into this level, but so too do the more
subtle, internally generated sensations.
For instance, if you drive by an accident on the highway, you perceive the
scene with your eyes, but that perception causes you to have some type of
internal feeling response. Perhaps your solar plexus constricts. Perhaps you
begin to have tightness in your chest, making it difficult to breathe. Or
perhaps you immediately enter into a state of prayer for those involved in the
accident and feel a wave of peace and expansiveness fill you. When working
with your feeling, keep in mind the importance of isolating the physical
sensation from the emotional overlay. Ask yourself, “What is the sensation?”
“Where is it located in my body?”
Here are some words you can use to clarify and quantify your physical
sensations. Some of the descriptions fall into a clearly defined continuumbetween two subjective experiences (hot/cold) while others fall into a
continuum defined by whether the sensation if on or off (itchy).
Transforming Continua: On/off Continua:
Hot – Cold Itchy
Slow – Fast Prickly
Painful – Pleasurable Numb
Soft – Hard Pressure
Constricting – Expansive Buzzy
Tense – Relaxed Dull

Become aware of internal, subjective,
subverbal experiences, so that these
experiences can be brought into the world of
abstraction, of conversation, of naming, etc.,with the consequence that it immediately
becomes possible for a certain amount of
control to be exerted over these hitherto
unconscious and uncontrollable processes.
Abraham Maslow
Emotions:
At the level of emotions, we begin moving into high level perception. The
distinguishing mark of high-level perception is that it is semantic. In other
words, it involves drawing meaning out of situations.
Emotions are the bridge level between the purely physical sensations of the
body and the intellect.
Emotions are really just
combinations of thoughts
and feelings that have
become defined through
cultural immersion and
personal experience. For
example the physical
“symptom” of a rapidly
beating heart combined
with the thought “He is
such a jerk,” gets
translated into the
emotion of anger or
irritation or hatred.
But that same physical “symptom,” a rapidly beating heart, when combined
with the thought, “She is so beautiful,” gets translated into the emotion of
love, or lust, or passion.
Same physical symptom, very different emotional meaning.
Emotions have no existence without the feelings that animate them and the
thoughts that “charge” them
Let’s take a closer look at the emotion of anger. The word itself is neutral.
Even the physical sensations that are present in a state of anger have no
inherent “charge.” As we saw above, those physical sensations can be present
in many different situations.
It is with the overlaying of thoughts onto the physical sensation that
emotional meaning is born.

Often when you are involved in an emotionally charged situation, shifting
your focus to the physical sensations can immediately and sometimes
dramatically shift the emotional content.
Rather than focusing on the thoughts – “Why did he do such a rotten thing?”
“That jerk cut me off.” “I hate it when she nags me!” – focus instead on the
sensations: Fast breathing, elevated heart rate, warmth or heat in the body,
constriction in the solar plexus or stomach area, etc.
It is at this emotional level that consciousness enters the equation. For it is
here, for the first time, that we can exert some control over our internal
response to an external situation.
Mind:
At the level of Mind we continue our evolutionary march up the ladder of
perception and awareness. It is at this level that the potential for full
consciousness arrives.
Within the Energetics of Attraction Model of Human Awareness, Mind
comprises the purely intellectual processes of thought, analysis, memory and,
to a certain extent, imagination. In this model, trans-intellectual levels of
perception and awareness such as intuition, inner knowing, etc, which aresometimes considered part of the mind are included in the next level.
Taking a look at our present culture, Mind is the perceptual level that is most
predominant. Just as vision provides more than 70 percent of our physical
sensory input, we rely on our mind for a comparable amount of our overall
perception and awareness of and response to our world.
And in some ways that’s a good thing. For while consciousness begins to
trickle in at the emotional level, it pours in to the level of Mind. The
opportunity for full consciousness is present with every thought.
No exploration of the Mind would be complete without a look at the place of
ego. And while there is not space here for an exhaustive exploration, Mind is
the arena within which consciousness and ego dance.

Often you have to
rely on intuition.
Bill Gates
Think of ego as anything disconnected from your Source and consciousness
anything connected to that Source. With every thought you have the choice:
Will I choose the thought that will strengthen my connection to Source or
weaken that connection?
Consciousness | ego
When mind is in service to our Essence or Higher Self, it provides a
wonderful source of information and discernment. But all too frequently the
ego aspect of the mind has taken over command of the ship.
When your mind is held hostage by your ego, it is very difficult to attract the
experiences that you want. In fact, it is almost impossible to even know what
you want to attract because the ego is so identified with having things that
will increase your perceived sense of security and worth. And these things are
often not what you truly desire.
Begin to think of your mind as a tool rather than identifying yourself AS your
mind. You are not your mind. Your mind is just level of your Human
Perception, Awareness and Response. It is a powerful tool for you to use to
help you connect more fully with your Source.
Intuition:
The fifth level of human awareness is the intuitive level. Intuition is non-linear awareness; it is not restricted to perceiving and understanding things
within the confines of time and space. The dictionary defines intuition as:
“The act or faculty of knowing or sensing
without the use of rational processes;
immediate cognition.
The immediate apprehension of an object by
the mind without the intervention of any
reasoning process.”
Intuition directly access vibrational information to provide us with a higher
level of awareness. It is at this level that we begin to play with the concept
that “there is no time and space.” It is also here that we begin to perceive our
essential nature and our true place within the universe.

Instinct and Intuition are often used interchangeably, but while they
sometimes provide similar information, they are very different. Where
Instinct is pre-intellectual, intuition is trans-intellectual. In other words,
instinct cannot be turned off by the mind. Your instincts function below your
mind’s radar screen.
Intuition on the other hand, can most definitely be turned off by the mind. In
fact, most people are taught at a very young age to turn off their intuitive
perceptions.
Fortunately, it is possible to reawaken your intuitive abilities. Intuition is an
innate ability present in all humans, but for those of us who have lost touch
with it, there are specific ways to reconnect.
Just as there are several physical senses, there are several, distinctive forms
of Intuitive perception. Here are the major forms of intuitive perceptions:
• Clairvoyance: Energetic information that comes through the
visual sense.
• Clairaudience: Energetic information that comes through the
auditory sense.
• Clairsentience Energetic information that comes through
emotional awareness.
• Psychometry: Energetic information that comes through the
sense of touch.
• Claircognizance: Energetic information that comes through a
knowing sense.
Because this level of perception, awareness and response has such a
vibrational and “spiritual” feel, it is often considered to be the level at which
we fully connect to Source. And while we certainly can connect with Source
through our intuition, we should not make the mistake of believing that this
level is the end point of our evolutionary progression.
It is not. In fact, just as our mind is a tool, so too is our intuition. Any tool can
be used to create or to destroy. And our intuition can be used to bring us
closer to our Source or to disconnect us from that Source.

YOU A RE THE CONDUCTOR
The bottom line is that you are the conductor, not the different parts. Each
level of perception – Instinct, Sensation, Emotion, Mind, Intuition – is anindividual part in the symphony that is your life. You are not the parts. You
are certainly not just ONE part!
You are the conductor. You bring the parts together. You bring out the best in
each of the parts and in doing so create a whole that is truly magnificent and
far more than the sum of the individual parts.

NOW WHAT ABOUT OUR FRIENDS BOOBA AND
KIKI
?
What did you think? Which was Booba and Kiki? Well, if you’re like 98% of
the people on this planet, you thought/felt/intuited/knew that the one on the
left is Kiki and the one on the right is Booba. And if you didn’t… well, let’s
just say that you’re special!
This is an example of Synesthaesia, a condition in which two or more
perceptual modalities overlap. In this example your visual and auditory
senses connected the sharp, angular sound of Kiki with the image on the left
and the soft, rounded sound of Booba with the image on the right.
This is just one example of how difficult it is to isolate perceptual processes
and why it is important to consider your perceptual and response
mechanisms in a holistic manner.

CONDUCTOR AS CO-CREATOR
Have you ever been to a symphony performance or watched one on TV? If
you’re like me, you’re most interested in watching the conductor. He or she
stands there, on a podium, surrounded by all of those musicians, nurturing
and guiding them to come together to create a whole that is far greater than
the sum of the individual parts.
The conductor reminds the sections when to be soft and when to be loud,
when to stop and when to start. The conductor keeps all of the parts together,
literally on the same page. Ultimately, it is the conductor who determines the
quality of the performance.
I want you to imagine, for a moment, that you are the conductor. Picture
yourself walking up to that podium, climbing the steps, bowing to the
audience and then turning to face the orchestra. Take a moment to look
around, to acknowledge the musicians. Look them in the eyes. Really see
them, each one of them. You know them all well from the hours of rehearsing.
And now it is time for the performance.
Now you take your baton and tap it firmly and clearly on the music stand in
front of you. Quiet descends. The performers prepare their instruments. Theaudience is silent, waiting for you to signal the beginning of the performance.
Feel your arms lifting in front of you, pausing until complete silence fills the
hall. Then when the moment is right, you begin moving the baton up and
down, marking the tempo of the piece for the musicians

And with an almost imperceptible signal from you, the music begins. It is as
if you and the musicians are one: they each have a part to play, but you
weave those parts together into a symphony far more magnificent than any of
the individual parts alone.
There is joy in guiding the music. You
feel that joy as the fullness and
beauty of the symphony surrounds
you and fills you.
You could be one of the musicians. In
fact you probably have been one of
them. You know what it’s like to be
playing just one of the parts: Fun,
exciting, even fulfilling. But when
you are in the seat of a musician, you
do not hear the fullness of the
symphony. You are focused on your
part, which is an important part, but
not the whole thing.
As the conductor, you see, hear and
feel it all. You know when a section is
falling behind or speeding up. And you can bring them back into alignment
with the rest of the orchestra. You sense instantly when a section is too loudor not loud enough and you can modulate their volume with the tiniest
signal.
Soon, perhaps too soon for you, this piece comes to the end. Again, a signal
from you ensures that the entire orchestra finishes at the same time. And
when the last note has been played you stand there with your arms still up,
waiting, waiting, waiting, as the vibrations from that final note, sustain and
echo and move through the hall, continuing long after the musicians have
finished playing.
You often wish you could stand there, holding your arms up forever, because
you still hear those notes playing. You hear the music ringing in your head.
But you know there is another piece to be played, another performance to
prepare. You know there is another audience waiting to be entertained.
To the sound itself the
conductor adds the italics
and punctuation of gesture,
of strained arms, of
startling tautness of the
shoulders, of brisk nod, of
hands flung apart in some
wild appeal to the
universe.

So you lower your arms, acknowledge the performers with a nod and a smile,
and you welcome the applause of the audience.
YOU A RE THE CONDUCTOR OF YOUR LIFE
There is a conductor of your life. There is a source, an intelligence, an
awareness conducting your life.
And it is you!
You are the person standing at that podium, looking over the music you know
so well, guiding the individual parts and creating a work of incredible beauty.
Most of us forget that we are the conductor, the co-creator of our masterpiece.
It often feels easier to be one of the musicians. When we sit in one of those
seats, we just have to play our part, follow the music and follow the
conductor.
But there is always “someone” up there on that conductor’s podium. Part of
you is always there. You get to decide which part. That’s where consciousness
comes in.
Really, to be more accurate, you are
both: You are the conductor AND themusicians.
The question, and the choice for you,
is where will you put your attention.
You can put most of your attention
into one of the musician’s seats. You
can choose to be a trumpet player or
the percussionist. You can even choose to be the first violinist. But no matter
which part you choose, even the soloist, that is still just one tiny piece of the
whole.
Until you choose to step up to that conductor’s podium, you will not be the
creator of your masterpiece: You will be following the direction of someone
else.
The place where YOU belong
is on the conductor’s podium!

THE FIVE LEVELS OF PERCEPTION, A WARENESS,
AND RESPONSE ARE THE P ARTS
The levels of human perception that we looked at in part 1 of this report, are
like the parts of your orchestra. Instinct, sensations, emotions, intellect and
intuition: Each of these levels has a role to play in your life symphony.
The place where You belong – the Big You – is on the conductor’s podium.
That is the part you came here to play! That is the place that is waiting for
you!
Most people will never get to that podium, or will step up to it for just brief
moments, preferring instead to spend most of their lives playing just one of
the parts in the orchestra.
The fact that you are reading this report means that you are one of the few
people – very few! – who is either already standing at that podium or wants
to be!
This report and the Energetics of Attraction courses will make you even more
excited about stepping up to that podium and help you take the next steps to
becoming the conductor of your life!
HOW DO YOU DISTINGUISH THE DIFFERENT
LEVELS?
Where is the dividing line between an
emotion and thought? How do you
distinguish a sensation from an
emotion? At what point does intellect
become intuition?
There are no clearly defined
boundaries between these perceptual
levels. Scientists can not clearly
determine the difference between
emotions, thoughts and intuition.
If the doors of perception
were cleansed, everythingwould appear as it is –
infinite.

They can tell you that a certain emotion “lights up” a certain part of the
brain. But beyond that, there is no clear distinction between them.
All of our perceptions activate the brain in the exact same way. When we
perceive something, electrical activity – energy – fires in the brain.
The only difference between the perceptual levels is in the areas of the brain
that are activated. Researchers are becoming very good at “mapping” the
brain. They know which sections the emotion anger will light up. They can
chart the location of different tastes and smells. They can tell you where
language thoughts will be found and where mathematical formulas live. They
are even beginning to map intuitive perceptions.
But with all of this mapping, they can’t really say what the difference is
between a sensation, an emotion, a thought, or an intuitive awareness. The
mechanism, the physiological process is the same for all of these different
levels.
And this makes sense. Most of us recognize that the difference between a
physical sensation and the thoughts and emotions that accompany that
feelings are very difficult to disentangle. Where does the feeling end and the
emotion begin? Where does the thought enter the equation.
There is a very thin boundary between the levels of awareness. And this
demarcation becomes even less clear when you consider that most of these
levels occur simultaneously. You very rarely have an isolated thought. It is
very difficult to have a physical sensation without some type of emotional or
intellectual response. And as we discussed in part one, emotions exist at the
intersection between feelings and thoughts. Even intuition rarely lives in a
vacuum.
So when we attempt to distinguish the different levels of perception,
awareness and response, the purpose is not to isolate the levels, but to
activate our ability to consciously focus our attention on one level at a time.
Ultimately though, we want to cultivate a holistic connection to our levels of
awareness. We want to become aware of all levels simultaneously yet
individually.
Just as the conductor of a symphony hears each individual part while also
hearing the wholeness of the entire performance, we want to be aware of all

the levels of perception while observing the entirety of our awareness that is
far greater than the sum of the parts.
However, when beginning with the Energetics of Attraction, knowing what
perceptual level you are operating from in any given moment as well as your
primary perceptual level is very helpful.
DETERMINING YOUR PRIMARY PERCEPTUAL
LEVEL
When you know which perceptual level you primarily rely on, you can begin
to expand your range and consciously begin to bring in other perceptual
levels.
You have probably done some work to determine your strengths and
weaknesses. You may have taken a formal assessment such as Myers-Briggs,
DISC, etc., to determine some aspect of your personality type or
communication style.
Determining your primary perceptual level is much simpler, and in some
ways may be more valuable than the complex and sometimes contradictory
information you receive from psychological assessments.
Keep in mind that you perceive at all levels of human awareness. So, while
you probably resonate more strongly with one or two of these perceptual
levels, you have a connection to
all of these levels.
Also keep in mind that your
primary perceptual level can,
and often does change. You may
have spent part of your life at
one perceptual level and nowfind yourself shifting into a
different level.
For most of my life I considered
myself a fairly thick-skinned,
typical guy. Sensitive male role
It is one of the commonest of
mistakes to consider that the
limit of our power of perception
is also the limit of all there is to perceive.

models were hard to find growing up in the seventies in a middle-class
Boston suburb. Back then emotional sensitivity was not a trait encouraged in
men. So I followed in the footsteps of the male role models I had; mostly stoic,
emotionally unavailable, intellectually focused men.
Intellect became my primary perceptual level. I thought, analyzed and
figured out the world around me. I believed that there was a logical answer to
everything and as long as I was working on discovering those answers I was
comfortable.
Emotional content was present, but suppressed. When it was expressed it
was most often in short, explosive bursts and quickly returned to the closet.
Physical feelings were also out, mainly because acknowledging what my body
was feeling was not possible without moving through the level of emotion.
And intuition… you’ve got to be kidding! Back then it was “women’s
intuition,” and not a realm into which men ventured. Just as, back then, real
men didn’t eat quiche, real men didn’t play around with intuition!
But perceptual levels change, shift and expand. And in the past 18 or so
years during which I have been actively engaged in personal and spiritual
development, I have explored all of the perceptual levels and begun
integrating them into a holistic, harmonic state of awareness.
We’ll explore that in the next section on the Harmonics of Human Awareness.
For now, though, let’s help you determine your primary perceptual level.
W HAT IS YOUR PRIMARY PERCEPTUAL LEVEL?Read the descriptions below, and see which level you resonate with. (The
Energetics of Attraction Course has a more complete diagnostic for
determining your primary perceptual level).
Sensation / Physical Feeling
• You are very aware of your body.• You may be very sensitive to pain.
• You may have experienced “undiagnosable” medical conditions.
• Textures and feelings are extremely important to you. You bask in the
feelings of sheets with high thread counts, silk scarves, etc.
• You may be a “foodie.” Savoring the flavors of food and drinks gives
you great pleasure.

• You enjoy and often excel at physical games such as charades.
• You may be very athletic and enjoy sports, and outdoor activities.
• Touch is very important for you in relationships. Holding hands, giving
and receiving massage, physical intimacy are all important factors in
your relationships.
Emotion
• You “wear your heart on a string.”
• You make decisions based on emotions.
• You cry easily – at movies, weddings, funerals, when reading a book,
and sometimes for no apparent reason.
• Natural beauty can move you to tears – a spectacular sunset, morning
mist rising from a field.
• You may experience emotional highs and lows.
• You feel a very strong pain of separation from loved ones when they
are gone.
• In your relationships, romance, picnics, and all traditional expressions
of love are important.
• You enjoy and may excel at creative games such as Pictionary.
• You tend to respond to situations on an emotional level.
• You gravitate towards creative and expressive careers – artist,
novelist, actor, etc.
Intellect
• Logic and thought are your primary mode of interacting with the
world.
• You make decisions based on analysis and logic.
• You are usually even-tempered with few emotional highs and lows.
• You gravitate to intellectual careers – lawyer, professor, researcher,
scientist,
• You enjoy relationships that include deep conversations, thought-
provoking films,• You enjoy and often excel at games such as Scrabble, Chess, Poker, etc.

Intuition
• Intuition is your primary mode of perceiving the world.
• You make decisions based on information received during prayer,
meditation or contemplation.• You are open to and may actively seek flashes of insight.
• You are very interested in spiritual development.
• You enjoy and may excel at games of “weighted chance” such as
Backgammon, Blackjack, etc.
• You gravitate to careers that utilize your intuitive abilities – energy
healing, ministry, nursing, massage, etc.
THE H ARMONICS OF HUMAN A WARENESS
So now that you have a better idea of the perceptual level that you use
engage with the world, let’s move into our exploration of the Harmonics of
Human Awareness.
Let’s start with a short lesson in music theory. If you’re a musician, this will
be a bit basic but it’s important to our discussion, so hang in there.

Have you ever looked a piano keyboard? At first glance it just looks like a
random arrangement of white and black keys. But if you look closer, you
begin to recognize a pattern: white key, black key, white, black, white, white,
black, white, black, white, black, white and back to white again.
There’s a reason for this. Each set of 12 keys is one tone in the westernmusical scale. And when you arrive back at that first white key again, the
scale repeats at the next octave.
For instance if you push on middle C you activate a vibration of 261.626 hertz
or cycles per second. But the note, C, has a specific tonal quality that we
recognize as “the same” no matter what octave it is played in. So, you can
push the “C” key anywhere on the keyboard, and recognize the note as C even
though the frequency of the sound is very different.
Middle C sounds much different than a C down near the bottom of thekeyboard which sounds much different than a C up near the top of the
keyboard.
Every C key – the white keys just to the left of the set of two black keys - are
all C. They are all recognizable as C, our brains “hear” them as the same note
– but they all have a different feeling to them.

I want you to begin thinking of the levels of human perception, awareness
and response in terms of octaves. Beginning with Instinct and moving up the
scale through Sensation, Emotion, Intellect and Intuition, imagine that you
are moving up a scale. Imagine that you are playing the same scale, the same
notes, just higher up the keyboard.
Now if you were a piano player you would not call in a piano tuner and ask to
have a portion of the keyboard turned off. You wouldn’t say to the piano
tuner, “Can you just disconnect the strings and turn off this octave down
here? I don’t want to use these notes.”
Every note on that keyboard is used. Every key on the piano is valuable and
adds to the richness and possibilities in the music.
Likewise, you probably would not consciously call in a “human tuner” and ask
to have part of your scale turned off. You wouldn’t consciously say to
someone, “Can you just turn off these emotions? I don’t use them anyway!”
Well, maybe you would!
I know that’s what I did for a big chunk of my life. Emotions were just too
painful. And they sure did not seem to have many redeeming qualities. So,
while I don’t think I ever said or thought the words, “I’m going to just turn off
my emotions,” that’s exactly what I did. Or what I attempted to do.
But even though, most of us would not consciously turn off a part of ourperceptual system, that’s exactly what we do: We turn off big chunks of our
perceptual scale.
But, you can’t really turn them off. They’re
still there, and they still vibrate and
resonate with your experiences. So even
though you’re not consciously “playing” that
part of your scale, those notes are still being
activated. And eventually, those notes get
turned back on. And that can be a messy
scene, especially if those notes come back online while you’re playing a song
in a different key.
We turn off big chunks
of our perceptual

E VERY E XPERIENCE YOU H AVE A CTIVATES
E VERY LEVEL OF A WARENESS
I believe it is impossible to have a perception at one level without generating
some activity at all of the perceptual levels. In other words, every experience
we have must activate our senses, emotions, thoughts and intuition.
In most instances though, one of the perceptual levels is so fully activated
that it drowns out the other levels making it seem as if we are perceiving the
situation from just one perceptual level.
This will be an important point to remember in your work with the
Energetics of Attraction. The next time you experience an overpowering
emotion, remember that even though it appears to be the only level activated,
all of your perceptual levels are activated.
If you can remember that in the midst of that overpowering emotion, you are
one giant step closer to shifting your attention and defusing that emotion.
More about that a bit later.
IT’S A LL ENERGY
We can’t go much further in our discussion without an exploration of the
energetic nature of our universe. By now, you have probably heard the
phrase, “it’s all energy,“ or “everything is energy.” That is not just a cliché. It
is true. Or, mostly true.
Of course, when we move into a discussion like this, TRUE becomes a very
fluid and flexible concept. We’re reaching the limits of our ability to know and
prove things with this discussion. For instance, physicists don’t know if light
is a wave or a particle. Turns out, it’s probably both. So they call it a wave-particle.
What we do know is that what we perceive as matter or form – the physical
“stuff” of our world – is actually made up of very little physical stuff. In fact,
when you move down to the atomic level, it turns out that an atom is more
than 99% empty space.

One physicist made the analogy that
if you were to suspend a single
baseball in the center of large
baseball stadium, you would
approximate the amount of actual
matter in an atom!
But the rest of that space is not truly
empty. That space is filled with
energy.
David Bohm and Michael Talbot in their book, The Holographic Universe,
say that:
When physicists calculate the minimum amount of energy a wave can
possess, they find that every cubic centimeter of empty space contains
more energy than the total energy of all the matter in the known
universe!
Before you read any further, take a moment to see if you can wrap your brain
around that little fact. They are saying that within the “empty” space the size
of a small dice you would find more energy than the energy contained in ALL
of the matter in the known universe.
Why is this important?
It’s important because, the empty space within you contains far more energy
than all of the physical stuff we normally identify with.
W HAT A RE THE HUMAN ENERGY S YSTEMS?
So if we accept that we are more than 99% energy (most physicists do accept
that and it is one of the core principles of the Energetics of Attraction) then
spending time in a direct exploration of our human energy systems justmakes sense.
When we work with the human energy systems we discover a doorway into
all of the levels of human awareness. And once we have access to information
– energy – on all of the levels we can then begin to manipulate that
information – energy – and move it into alignment with our desires.

So what are the Human Energy Systems?
We humans are walking, talking, thinking, breathing electromagnetic
transmitters and receivers. Scientists have definitively proven that we emit
electromagnetic frequencies. The Law of Attraction tells us that it is these
frequencies that attract people, things and experiences into our life. It is our
vibrational frequency that determines the way that our physical reality
appears.
While modern science is just now acknowledging that we are electromagnetic
beings, wisdom traditions of many cultures have recognized this truth for
thousands of years.
The Energetics of Attraction explores these three basic human energy
systems in relationship to the Law of Attraction. These systems are
The Grounding System
The grounding system connects us to this physical world, the Earth. It
provides the energetic roots which anchor us firmly into this physical realm.
In order to attract your desires in the physical world, you must be fully
present in and connected to the physical Earth. It is very difficult to manifest
desires physically if you are not fully embodying your physical nature.
And while the Law of Attraction encourages us to engage in the process of
visualization and the intentional activation of non-physical energy, it alsoencourages our full presence in and enjoyment of the physical world.
Your Grounding System is the most powerful tool you have for anchoring
yourself into the physical world and translating your formless, vibrational
desires into tangible physical things and experiences.
The Auric System
This is our second skin or energy skin. Your Aura is a protective boundary
that completely surrounds your physical body and protects your personal
energetic space. It extends at least several inches out from your body in all
directions.
A well-protected Aura has a strong grounding connection to the Earth. It
establishes the boundaries between our personal space and the space of
others and the wider universe. When our Aura is strong and healthy, we have
a sense of our self, we feel complete, whole and safe.

Copyright 2008 - 2013 © Edward Mills
The Chakra System
Your Chakra System is your primary vibrational input/output system. The
Chakras are individual energy centers that receive, process and distribute
energy throughout the physical/energetic system and back out to the wider
world. The chakra system is most often perceived as a series of energy
centers rising from the base of the spine to the top of the head. Each
individual chakra has a specific function and processes a specific type of
physical/emotional/spiritual energy.
THE GOAL IS NOT TO TRANSCEND THE LEVELS
One thing I need to make very clear is that the Energetics of Attraction is not
a system that encourages you to “transcend” any of the perceptual levels. One
of the issues I’ve had with some spiritual development systems or practices is
the implicit or explicit sense that moving up and in some cases right out of
the perceptual scale is the goal.
When I studied at the Academy of Intuition Medicine, and ultimately
received the Master of Intuition Medicine certificate, I loved the work we
were doing. I knew there was great potential for growth, healing and deep
understanding.
And I also knew that there was something missing – at least for me. It’s
taken me nearly ten years since graduating from AIM to formulate, and now
articulate, what was missing for me.
The missing piece was a holistic approach to healing, growth and awareness.
There was a sense that the intuitive, energetic tools and systems being
taught in the school were somehow being presented as “better than” other
perceptual modalities.
The founder of the Academy has occasionally teased me, lovingly, about my
proclivity towards emotional release during our classes. The Academy had an
E.R. room, variously known as the Emergency Room or Emerging Reality
depending on your mood. It was a space where you could go for some extra
attention from a Teacher’s Assistant if “stuff” came up during the class.

I spent a lot of time in that room! Unlike many of the students who were
seemingly able to separate their emotional content from the intuitive
information, my perceptual levels seemed to be inherently entangled.
For at least the first year of my training, I thought I wasn’t “getting it”
because everyone else seemed to
be having these clear “pictures”
when they were doing intuitive
readings on themselves or others.
I very rarely got pictures. But
even without pictures, I usually
“knew” what was happening. The
information came to me in
different ways. I felt it in my
body, or I had an emotional hit, ora clear knowing sense just popped
into my head.
At some point, when I let go of the belief that there was a “right way” to
access intuitive perception, I realized that all along I had been naturally
accessing the information through multiple perceptual levels.
Now, almost 10-years later, I finally understand the importance of embracing
the entire spectrum or scale of perception and awareness.
YOU CAN’T SOLVE A PROBLEM AT THE LEVEL OF
ITS CREATION
You may be wondering why we have taken so much time exploring the levels
of human perception, awareness and response.
I’ve acknowledged that:
! It’s nearly impossible to clearly delineate and distinguish between the
different levels.
! All of our perceptions are energetic, and
! ultimately, we are seeking a holistic state of perceptual awareness.
Presence is more than just
‘being there.’

So why spend time focusing on the individual levels of perception and
awareness?
Well here is the reason. Einstein accurately pointed out that it is difficult
solving problems at the level of their creation. And while I don’t want you to
begin thinking about your perceptions as “problems” I do want you to begin
thinking about changing or shifting them from a different level of awareness.
Have you ever had a limiting thought that you just can’t get rid of? No matter
what you try, it won’t go away?
For instance maybe you’ve had the thought “I’m not good enough.” You want
to replace that thought with, “I AM good enough.” So every time you hear
that limiting thought in your head you immediately replace it with “I am
good enough. “And for a while, that new thought stays. But later, maybe in
30-seconds or an hour, or the next day, or next week, that old, limiting
thought returns.
The reason it is so difficult to change that thought is because you are working
with it at the level of thought. You are attempting to change a “problem”
thought at the same level at which it was created.
With enough persistence and time, you could and probably will change that
thought. But there is a faster, more effective way to change that thought.
Move to another level and change it from there.
In our exploration of the Harmonics of Human Awareness we explored how
every experience has a thread that moves through each of the levels.
Remember that the perceptual level you are focused on is the melody and the
“notes” of the other levels flesh out the chord with notes that harmonize with
the melody. So in this case, the thought, “I’m not good enough” is the melody.
But that thought has notes playing at the level of feeling, emotion and
intuition.
Shifting your focus from the melody – thought – to one of the harmony notes – feelings, emotions, intuition – will allow you to more easily shift the entire
experience.
A thought is never JUST a thought. A feeling in your body is never JUST a
feeling. Every thought you have has harmonics on every other level.

And when you attempt to shift that thought in isolation, all the harmonics
from the other levels are pulling against you, anchoring that old thought in
place.
So you say, “Why can’t I shift this thought?” not realizing that you’re not just
shifting a thought, you’re attempting to shift an entire symphony of
perceptions, awareness and response.
Think of it this way: If an entire orchestra is playing a piece in the key of C
Major and the solo violinist attempts to play the solo in the key of D Minor,
what’s going to happen? Who is going to sound horrible, the orchestra or the
soloist?
You bet. That soloist, not matter how beautifully he or she is playing, is going
to sound pretty awful.
And who is ultimately going to win that battle? Will the violinist end up
moving back into the key of C Major or will that entire orchestra, all the
sections, all the instruments, all the musicians, spontaneously join the
violinist in the key of D Minor?
Unless that violinist has some serious mojo,
that orchestra is going to win! And what’s the
easier solution: The orchestra moving to match
the soloist or the soloist moving to match the
orchestra?
In order to effectively and permanently change
your ability to attract your desires, you must
change the key from which you are attracting
on All conscious levels: sensation, emotion, intellect and intuition.
A thought is
NEVER just athought!

HOW DO I A TTRACT M Y DESIRES FROM ALL THE
LEVELS?
That is exactly what the Energetics of Attraction is all about.
This report has given you the two most important tools and insights you need
to begin attracting your desires at multiple levels of awareness.
First, you now have an understanding of the 5 levels of human perception,
awareness and response. You can begin to recognize what level you are
operating at. And you can begin consciously awakening your perception at
the other levels.
And second, if you’ve read this far, you now most likely understand and have
a intention to attract your desires in a Harmonic manner. That intention will
guide you to the tools, insights and actions you need in order for that to
happen.
I’ll be very honest with you: The fact that you have read this report means
that you are now armed with the foundational knowledge that will enable
you to immediately begin attracting your life experiences in a more holistic,
harmonic and powerful manner!
Congratulations.
