Posted by Ray under: The Art of Dying.
On the 11th of July, 2009 I was invited to visit the legendary Sufi psychotherapist, Doctor Jasin Balbaky
who was preparing to leave this planet from a hospice out in the tranquil woods of Needham , Massachusetts.
My friend Caroline. who had met Doctor Balbaky back in the 1960’s in Cambridge
and who had also worked as a therapist with him @ a facility in Brookline in the early 1970’s
was going to sit with him to offer appreciation for his life and her blessings for his harmonious passage into the ‘Great Unknown’
I brought my beautiful Italian greyhound friend, Giorgio, who is a trained, licensed and insured therapy dog
and we headed out to Tippett House in Needham @ sunset.
We arrived well before Caroline and enjoyed strolling around and up and down the long circular driveway of the hospice in the cool Summer evening,
Giorgio smelling the plants and investigating this new place with curious delight,
there were fireflies blinking in the darkness, the cries of frogs from the woods, and @ one point a deer passed nearby.
Giorgio barked ferociously when this happened. I assured him that we were safe,
that he is a good watchdog and set him on the hood of my car until he calmed down.
Soon Caroline arrived and we went inside the hospice. No staff personnel were apparent,
except there was an elegant, beautiful woman sitting on a love seat in the parlour near the foyer.
We inquired of her where we might find Doctor Balbaky.
She introduced herself as his wife, Barbara and she led us into his room so we could All visit.
A portrait of Jasin as a handsome dashing young Persian man hung over a mantle.
The form of Doctor Balbaky lay on the bed. His body was contorted, a long man, his face resembled a cubist painting.
He wore a very cool multi-coloured fez.
Though he was ‘very present’ ~ I sensed that he was definitely not fully in his body.
I could feel that he was in the room with us as if he were floating nearby observing this scene
Yes, his essence, his soul seemed to be ‘on the way to another place’.
Giorgio requested to sit upon my lap and I held him tenderly as we made our vigil.
Giorgi is very much in his body by contrast ~ his slender muscular body pulsates with life and he embodies the perceptions of his finely attuned senses ~those we know of and can relate to
as well as those subtle senses just beyond our normal abilities. No wonder the ancient Egyptians regarded this breed of dog as sacred
It’s also noteworthy that the Egyptian god, Anubis who has the head of a greyhound, is associated with preparing the dead for the ‘Afterlife’.
We sat down in the soft light of the room on this beautiful mid-Summer night. Caroline produced a crystal, explaining that Dhyani Ywahoo( the Cherokee Indian priestess we had studied with in the 1970’s and ’80’s ) had explained to us that quartz crystals are recording devices, ‘like an mp3’; so if you hold a crystal close to your body, the crystal will record your feelings, perceptions, thoughts and energy. When another person holds the crystal he / she can receive that information from you though the crystal ~ which can often hold the information for 2 or more days. Smiling gently, she put it close to Jasin’s upper torso where his arm and face were resting.
Speaking softly in her humble yet erudite manner with unabashed honesty and a stream of consciousness that reminds me of Keith Richards speaking about his relationship with rock’n’roll guitarist Chuck Berry, Caroline spoke of how she witnessed over the years that Jasin had helped many of his patients who had been in very fragile frame of mind body and spirit,
Barbara , his wife was relaxed and accepting of the situation and seemed to be deligted with our company. Caroline told her that after Jasin had met her as a graduate student of psychology he admitted to her that ‘Barbara was the one ‘ for him. She was genuinely flattered to hear this.
She produced a copy of Thich Nhat Han s poetry about Love ~ ‘Not Caught in These Eyes’ that a friend had sent the couple just that morning. Caroline later rendered this into the graphic that is attached to this sharing
At one point she referred to her work with colour and light meditation and how she and I had studied with the Cambodian Buddhist monk, the Venerable Bhante Dharmanwara ~ who George Lucas had used as a role model for the character and persona of Yoda the Jedi master in the ‘Star Wars’ trilogy. Please take a look @ this spiritual master and healer by clicking on these links : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjTspJMJF3I Bhante Dharmawara

The air pressure and its texture began to shift as a gentle but pervasive wave of oxygen filled the room and we heard thunder roiling in the not too far distance. As Caroline began to prepare her drum to sing and play for Jasin and Barbara ~ Giorgi and I made our way downstairs into the foyer and with torrents of rain now pouring down all around us ~ we made a mad dash for my car.
By midnight we were home and preparing to sleep.

I didn’t get to see ‘His Holiness’ this time around ( 2009 – 2010 )
But
I clearly recall meeting him with several friends in April of 1977
@ the Harvard University Faculty Club
which was then located adjacent to Harvard Yard near Quincy and Harvard Streets.
We were all members of Kagyu Tinley Kunchab,
a small Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Center located @ that time in the apartment
( nearby on Franklin Street in Cambridgeport ) of one of the devotees
who was then a professor of ‘feminist studies’ @ Wellesley College.
Our meeting was brief and profound.
His Holiness got right to the point.
The Center leader thought it was a good idea if each of us offered HH peace flags upon meeting him.
The first thing he said to us upon our arrival was;
“ Keep your peace flags for yourselves, I don’t need them.”
He immediately followed this statement with ;
“ Everyone should get a job and contribute positively to improving society.”
Then ~
“ Keep your negativities to yourself
and transform them through the practices “ ( of Tibetan Buddhism ).
I rest my case.
Love Light Laughter

December, 2005
Hi Everyone ~
We Thank You for being a part of our proxy group Repatterning during this time of our passage into Winter and throughout the ongoing transformation of Our World.
We set up in Elizabeth’s Repatterning Room placing male & female rose quartz crystals to our left and right, smoky & clear quartz crystals in the North & Eastern windows.
In the center of the table, we placed an amethyst geode in front of Elizabeth’s laptop computer. Upon the geode we placed a tuft of fur from the White Buffalo.
After performing a brief orientation process from the Holographic Repatterning® mandala so we could experience harmony & efficiency in working together and be able to actually perceive the shifts for this session, we proceeded.
Elizabeth acted as proxy client & scribed the session on the laptop. Ray acted as practitioner.
Via muscle-checking, our group energy system told us that we were to go into a New Vision Repatterning entitled ~ ‘Movement for Life Repatterning’
In relation to ‘our problem’ we were guided to one of the posted statements on the Elizabeth’s website ( http://liztobin.com/cmd.php?af=1222086 ) ~
Continued below ,,,
( Please note that All of the staments are presented as OFF ~
for the non-coherency that We are No Longer Resonating With
and ON ~
for the coherence that We Are Now Resonating With.
You do not need to perform any of the modalities listed because they have already been performed by Ray & Elizabeth on your behalf ).

E. Lack of Emotional Coherence:

F. The Fears that Constrict Free Movement:

“Only evil women express themselves fully.”
K. Negative Feeling that Disconnects Us from Our Light:

Specifically checking the right testes on the emotional level:

2. MODALITIES TO TRANSFORM RESONANCE:
( performed by Ray & Elizabeth )
1. Reading Small Print ~ using candlelight, palming and blinking our eyes beofre, during and after reading each statement.
2. Five Element Breath ~ to cleanse the internal organs and balance the meridian system ( Upon each exhalation the sounds related to the heart, lungs, spleen, kidneys and liver meridians were vocalized twice.
_____________________________________________________
* UMB ~ refers to an umbilical muscle-check; meaning that on the initial muscle-check no ‘problem’ ie ‘non-coherence’ was indicated as we would have expected @ that stage of the Repatterning; so these statements were rechecked @ the ‘depth’ of the navel ~ meaning that non-coherence was more deeply ’embedded’ in the ‘system’.
Now those statements are UMBILICALLY ON meaning that on a deep, gut- level within our energy system ~
There is the CLEAR ABSENCE of ANY Non-Coherence for those particular issues.
COMMENTS ~
You may note that the 1st 15 statements for this Repatterning are all about non-coherence.
As we worked through these steps, I noticed that my eyes felt dull and I often experienced a burning sensation in them.
I observed that Elizabeth as our proxy client was often yawning. This is often a sign of the presence of an Energy Consriction ~ however this was not the case.
Only the 2 Modalities for Transforming Resonance listed were necessary to realign our Harmony with The Higher Self.
It’s amazing that Resonance Repatterning® is a very gentle and very profound method for dislodging and eliminating problems as well as for empowering our positive intentions so that we are ON for them.
Should you wish to have an individual session related to any of the issues we addressed or to any other issue you are experiencing ~ We are each available for private one to one sessions via proxy / telephone or in person.
Blessings of Love
Light and Laughter
Elizabeth & Ray
