The basic underlying and uniting force of the universe is a psychic energy field of love and soul consciousness ( the Unified Field ) which lies not only beyond time and space but also beneath our deepest fears ~ and whose principle property is the universal urge to unite. Tap into this timeless and joyous energy field by surrendering to love and heal yourself in the process as countless others, both veterans and civilians, have already experienced: Allen L Roland, PhD
“Let us be grateful to the
people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls
blossom.”

As a still active and joyful Octogenarian at
82 as well as a disabled veteran it is important for me and those that follow
to leave a paper trail that leads to the Unified Field
as well as all my experiences of surrendering to this joyful state of
consciousness that lies not only beyond time and space but also beneath our
deepest fears.
One of my most significant triumphs during
this lifetime quest was helping to initiate
a heart centered rehabilitation approach, fueled by gratitude and forgiveness,
for active duty veterans suffering from PTSD implemented at the Concord Vets
Center, California which became a great success.
Under the direction of Salvador Ueda, MSW,
and their team leaders ~ a total of 18 Band of Brother's self-healing transformation
support groups were accomplished with well
over 100 veteran graduates in the last five years and with this success ~ a
personal dream and goal has been accomplished.
My dream was to help transform the VA
rehabilitation system for veterans with PTSD from within through these heart
centered Band of brother's sessions.
CONCORD VET CENTER PAVES THE WAY FOR NEEDED HEART CENTERED
APPROACH TO VETERAN REHABILITATION
Since the driving force of my self-healing
heart centered consultations is gratitude, it is with heart felt gratitude that
I thank the Concord Vet Center and in particular adjustment counselor Salvador
Ueda for suggesting and giving me the opportunity, first as a licensed
counselor and then, upon retirement, as a fully vetted VA volunteer consultant,
to share my truth and help facilitate and build a successful Healing the
Wounded Heart transformation program over the past five years ~ but
particularly in 2015.
It’s
been an incredible personal joy to witness with Sal the heartwarming
transformations that occurred as many of these emotionally wounded veterans
burst into full flower by going through their fears and finding joy beneath
their deep pain and despair. We literally saw the internal light come on as
they began to see through different eyes
"We're changing the VA system from the inside out,” I would joyfully
share with Sal after each veteran transformation, "the
beat goes on."
This outside the box program is simple and
effective but it all starts with the adjustment counselor who initially screens
each applicant and determines if they are ready for this inner transformation
self-healing work. He
then has each veteran complete a life chart, as described in my book, which
graphically summarizes their life in terms of being a quest versus a
struggle. At the same time they begin to read my book as well as watch my You
Tube sessions. I feel a great affinity with veterans, particularly active duty
veterans, for we have all been in service and many of us have risked our lives
while serving our country.
They all have access to these
self-healing steps in my updated Kindle Book RADICAL THERAPY, SURRENDER TO LOVE AND
HEAL YOURSELF IN SEVEN SESSIONS (not seven years). Here is
the Kindle link http://www.amazon.com/Radical-Therapy-Surrender-Yourself-Sessions-ebook/dp/B00JGE5VQE
And here's a link to the YouTube Skype
sessions of the self-healing process I teach and coach
~ Watch, in the first 20 minutes of session five, how Marina conquers
her deepest fear by going through it and she demonstrates that beneath her pain
and fear is boundless joy. See video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r12MoNnwPKg&feature=youtu.be
My book is a passionate call to heal your
heart by surrendering to love. Initially by sharing gratitude with the many
people in your life who have not been thanked for being a gift ~ and then all
others as you open your heart and begin to not only see through different eyes
but also slowly reconnect with your original joy, intention and purpose.
It is important to note here that all of my
work over the past 45 years, both in my private practice and now as a heart
centered coach and consultant, has been inspired by my desire to personally
demonstrate the self-healing power of a Unified Field of love and soul
consciousness.
Note ~ If you google The Unified field ~ you will find my explanation
on page two of 7.5 million results.
Here are a few personal examples of taping
into the Unified field of love, joy and soul consciousness ~ which I
share with all participants as well as in my eBook.
1.
FIRST AWARENESS OF UNIFIED FIELD
My
whole life has been a journey, a quest, to find a lost little boy within myself
who once knew, and longed to share the truths that I am now sharing with you; a
4 year old boy who profoundly experienced at the deepest level within himself,
a love and joy that indelibly connected him to everything around him. That
experience was my first awareness of a Unified Field of love which I was an
integral part of ~ and I fully surrendered to the bliss of being in the
Unified Field of love and soul consciousness and never forgot it.
Just as becoming a Navy Fighter pilot was an important part of
my destiny and brought me to the San Francisco Bay area ~ the precognitive
vision of the Golden Gate Bridge was a door that was opened to me as a young
child and not only let the future in but proved to me that the love for my
grandfather not only existed beyond time and space but was also the sole
constant of the universe.
3.
THE FINAL OPTION / SURRENDERING TO THE UNIFIED
FIELD
I have had many personal experiences of the sensory sensation of
being in the Unified Field
of love and soul consciousness that exists not only beyond time and space but
also beneath our deepest fears but this one stands out ~ for it was a matter
of life and death and it became the foundation of my belief in this state of
consciousness that lies beneath our deepest fears. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2014/05/11/the-final-option/
4.
THE NEAR AND AFTER DEATH EXPERIENCE IS BEING IN
THE UNIFIED FIELD
My
after death experience with my Mother when she passed on in 1987 was proof
positive that she was now in the Unified Field ~ a state of soul
consciousness that exists beyond time and space.
5.
BEING IN THE UNIFIED FIELD IS BEING IN SYNC WITH
YOUR DESTINY
Let me share my initial meeting with Stan Krippner 44 years ago in
1972 which has set the stage for where I am now but
is a wonderful personal example of how our lives are divinely interconnected
and guided from within if we will but listen, say YES to ourselves and not be
controlled by fear. See http://www.veteranstoday.com/2016/01/09/my-lunch-with-stanley-krippner/
I have obviously answered an important
question I posed long ago when I started my practice ~ Why are most people
afraid of their deepest Joy ?
In my over 45 years as a heart centered consultant with
emotionally devastated civilians as well as veterans with PTSD, I have
discovered that most have a common symptom ~ the psychic pain of being
seemingly separated from love, either at birth or in childhood, which can cause
us to emotionally check out and close our hearts thus PTHD (Post Traumatic
Heart Disorder). At some dark point of aloneness, psychic pain overrides joy
and ego defense becomes more important for survival than love and
relationships. Medication and drugs then become the principal tool to be
utilized in survival and our rapidly increasing middle-age death rate confirms
this finding ~ as well as the obvious need for a proven and effective
alternative heart centered approach for PTSD or PTHD:
The answer to my query is because their
psychic pain, quite often experienced at birth or early childhood, has over
ridden their original joyful memories and they are afraid of or mistrust their
deepest joy and are living their life and still making life decisions based on
ego based fear.
In the third tenet of my PhD dissertation,
The Unified Field, I describe
the process by which psychic pain (the seeming separation from love) can
over-ride joy and how most people are afraid of or mistrust their deepest joy
~ It would appear that the pain of not feeling loved for oneself and being
seemingly separated from our original state of soul consciousness and the
Unified Field is of such deep psychic proportions that, early in childhood,
processes are triggered in the hypothalamus which result in a left brain
imbalance and dominance as well as the denial, mistrust and forgetting of our
connection to the Unified Field and the love and joy and a state of soul
consciousness deepest within us. It is from this dark tunnel of pain,
aloneness, despair and apparent death that the ego and ego consciousness is
born - for survival and protection purposes only.
Thus death, or the idea of death,
appears to be an illusion measured by the limits of our consciousness. This
would seem to explain why people who have had a near-death experience quite
often no longer fear death but also have new values regarding love and the need
to be in service
Think of
the ego as a protective cocoon that is eventually meant to be shed. The
Unified Field can be visualized as a grid of great luminosity joining all
living beings within its energy field of love. The words of Longfellow would
seem appropriate in describing this all-encompassing field or grid: "The
thread of all sustaining beauty that runs through all and doth all unite."
In my role as a heart centered consultant
with over 45 years' experience of soul retrieval especially with veterans with
PTSD, I retrieve buried souls and empower them through love and gratefulness
to not only open their hearts but to also find their unique place in a
universal loving plan from a place of celebration and service. They soon begin
to realize that everything they have ever wanted is on the other side of fear.
In other words, I meet them from a place of
celebration and service and empower them to open their hearts and fully claim
the joy and authenticity of themselves.
Here are the eight stages of ego
transcendence I demonstrate and teach. Remember that the ego is a
projection of what we feel we have to be versus being our true authentic self
~ and it is always born out of deep pain and aloneness.
1. Denial
Everything is fine, there is nothing missing in my life ~ I'm in
full control of everything
2. Anger I can't
stay in control and manipulate things any more ~ it's not working, it's making
me angry.
3. Bargaining I'll hang on to
something so I won't get out of control and have to deal with the unknown and
all those scary feelings deep inside me that I have been continually avoiding.
4. Depression Why am I feeling so sad,
and it feels so deep. If only I could get out of this pit of despair.
5. Acceptance /
Connection I'm
feeling deep sadness and it's the same feelings I felt as a child ~ I can't
deny these feelings any longer.
6. Surrender I'm letting go and trusting
that there is joy beneath my sadness ~ what is this excitement I'm feeling
beneath this well of grief and it has nothing to do with someone else.
7. Celebration I'm truly feeling the
joy of being myself and the growing awareness that there is something I'm
supposed to be doing ~ I'm beginning to trust the unknown and see through
different eyes.
8. Service I'm fully trusting myself, I'm
listening and I'm responding to this inner call ~ I want to be in service from
this inner place of authentic love, joy and delight.
Make no mistake about it, the keys to the magic kingdom of the soul are gratefulness and forgiveness ~ and eventually gratefulness and forgiveness ends with our self.
And what group of people have been more separated from love and the life force than combat veterans (many of whom had significant birth and childhood trauma) and have additionally been taught to hate and kill.
At the Vet Center, I was called in as a
volunteer to review their completed Life
chart and help Sal connect the soul dots ~ a life chart which clearly shows
their whole life, relationships and war experience as a Quest or journey to
fully understand where they are now.
From our very first session, they begin the
process of thanking the people who have been there for them in their lives and
as they do ~ like flowers, their buried or numbed out hearts begin to open allowing
them to see through different eyes.
I then assist Sal in the remaining group
sessions, with the veterans, using the seven sessions in my book as the guide ~
including the experiential guided visualizations.
For example, the last session is a death
exercise where every member has the chance to seemingly die and I then have
each member tell them how much they meant to them as well as share from their
heart with each other. In other words, in that exercise they not only
experience being loved but the thrill of speaking from their hearts.
It's not therapy but it is heart centered
action based self-healing and every participant is given the opportunity to
explore another heart centered choice of behavior versus a fear based ego
driven choice. The Team leader was very impressed by this self-healing process
but could not find the time to make it happen for himself but his support was
evident to all participants.
In 2015, I have concentrated on empowering
and mentoring Sal, at his suggestion, to not only see through his heart but
connect the dots so that he could carry the program on in the future without my
assistance. This work, in essence, is all about soul retrieval for these
veterans, who were once taught to kill, are now being reconnected to their
deeper urge to love and cooperate with each other
Dr Stanley Krippner describes this process in
the foreword of my book ~ "No psychiatric manual lists "soul
loss" as a condition in need of treatment but shamans tell me that
"soul loss" is widespread in contemporary society. Allen Roland has
had the insight to understand what the shamans have told me. He also has
developed the skills to help his clients regain their souls"
Nowhere is
"soul loss" more apparent than with veterans with PTSD who have
been taught to kill or witnessed or participated in unjustified mass human
carnage.
Just as Stephen Hawking has suggested that black holes may, in essence, become white holes at a point of singularity ~ so I am suggesting that at the end of that black well of despair within ourselves, we also reach a point of singularity . A point where all notions of time and space break down and we become one with a Unified Field of love and a state of soul consciousness.
Band of Brothers #18 was my last hurrah as a
volunteer consultant with the Vet Center but I left with an immense sense of
self-satisfaction regarding this unique heart centered approach to
self-healing. This program has not only succeeded ~ with well over 100 active
duty veteran graduates who have positively changed through gratefulness and
self-forgiveness ~ but more importantly, their hearts have been opened and they
have experienced another choice of behavior while their PTSD symptoms have
greatly diminished. See VT Post ~ http://www.veteranstoday.com/2015/10/01/band-of-brothers-hwh-18-defeating-military-racism-through-love-and-forgiveness/
It remains to be seen if the VA will
integrate this self-healing approach into their clinical approach but it is
obvious that no amount of psychiatric drugs can ease the painful psychic pain
carried by many of our returning veterans with PTSD ~ as witnessed by our
rising veteran suicide rate.
Gen. Peter Chiarelli, the Army’s No. 2
officer, who has long been an advocate for soldiers suffering from the
invisible wounds of war (such as PTSD and TBI) ~ also advocates the need for
other alternative approaches ~ ”I want to
understand what drugs we should use to treat these symptoms, if we should use
any drugs at all. I want to look into alternative pain management. We are
finding there are other ways to handle pain that are more effective and allow a
person to feel a lot better than throwing a bagful of drugs at them.” See
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/05/23/unsaid-issue-behind-veterans-rising-suicide-rate-is-shame-based-guilt/
As a former active duty Naval aviator and
all-weather carrier pilot who served seven
years in the Navy, the last two as a weekend warrior ~ I can honestly relate to
veterans and consider it an honor to have touched many of their hearts in my
work as a heart centered consultant.
They have all, including myself, faced their
deepest fears and been in service to their country. Many have been to the dark
side and long for another choice and I am proud to have facilitated that
process in my ongoing heart centered consultations.
There is no true healing without love ~ and gratitude is the life blood of soul
consciousness.
"Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing there is a field. I'll meet
you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk
about." Rumi
