To Learn Touch That Dr. Sutherland Taught His Inner Circle Osteopaths
Requires That We Abide By His Practice Boundaries
In 1948, after 50 years of practice, Dr. Sutherland gave a lecture to osteopaths on touch as a spiritual path to realize Be Still And Know I AM:
"We had a visit from a young lady, a ballet dancer whose name is well known on Broadway. In our living room, she gave a dramatic and reverent dance interpretation of the biblical saying 'Be Still and Know that I am God.' In her impressive presentation, we could see that she lost all awareness of the physical senses.
"Be Still" these physical senses, and get as close to your Maker as you can, closer than breathing. Where you realize what is meant by the Breath of Life, not the breath of air, the breath of air being merely one of the material substances which man utilizes in his walkabout on earth.
It has been my endeavor to get as far away from the physical senses as I possibly could, that is, to a point where one begins to experience - to realize 'Be Still and Know.'
That is why I have so much to say about information gained solely through laboratory tests and experiments and information often gained through the application of erring or unreliable physical senses.
How many of you have the same degree of vision? The same degree of touch?"

Dr. Sutherland created a spiritually-based touch that empowers cranial practitioners who long to evolve their consciousness without end. We'll engage specific meditative practices for offering touch as Sutherland taught it to his inner circle Legacy Practitioners. We evolve Dr. Sutherland's touch by integrating Dr. Becker's tantric contributions. We learn to embody his perspective on the unerring potency that Becker calls 'The Silent Partner.' On day one, you'll learn specific hands-on contacts that possess enhanced degrees of potency because each contact is an ossification center. You get to enjoy these contacts with your chosen partners during 8 session exchanges of this 4-day class: you receive 8 sessions and give 8 sessions.
Sutherland's Touch Is A Spiritual Practice To Know I AM.
Be Still means we inwardly wait in I AM for as long as it takes while we touch. This is an ancient Vedic practice called pratyahara, which means to inwardly dwell in stillness. Innerness, practiced daily over time, leads to the profound depth of neutral called Sacred Repose. This activates the tantric alchemical descending current that ignites our second birth. If we inwardly dwell in Sacred Repose long enough without any agenda, the midline's potency builds in strength until our consciousness descends. The descent of consciousness down the midline creates a vacuum in the heart's SA node that draws the unerring potency of I AM inside your cells. As I AM descends the midline, it implodes infinite consciousness into all our cells. During this descent and the subsequent cellular implosion of I AM, all the elements - Earth, Water, Air, Fire - enliven and unite as one quintessential element - Ether - which emanates the sacred pulse of the Spanda, or Pure Breath of Love. We realize our second birth when we sense the cellular enfleshment of love that creates 'all that is' and is stronger than death.
In Christianity, enfleshment means we die while alive.
We realize the resurrection forces of the body that lead to enfleshment,
when the tantric descending current carries us along our Grail Journey, which is a Completion Stage practice.
When then offer touch amid Sacred Repose, which is akin to the ancient spiritual practice of laying on of hands.
Dr. Andrew Taylor Still was famous for laying on of hands.
Ascending Current Journey:
Be Still → Pratyahara (Maintain Innerness) → Neutral As Whole Body Stillness → Wait Inwardly For Nothing → Unerring Potency Builds Inside → Biodynamic Tides Emerge → Consciousness Ascends The Midline → To Realize Dynamic Stillness And Know I AM Then At I AM The Tides Dissolve → Biodynamics Ends
BE STILL AND KNOW I AM
When The Tides Dissolve In I AM, It Is Because We Surrendered To Stillness
Becker Says Osteopathic Biodynamics ENDS Here
And Our Personal Journey Begins:
After We Realize I AM - We Inwardly Wait
... In Nothing For Nothing ... For As Long As It Takes Amid A Supra-personal Surrender To Stillness Sacred Repose Emerges Is THE Fulcrum
That Ignites Your Personal Descending Alchemical Journey To Love:Your Descending Current Journey Is Post-biodynamic Path:
Sacred Repose → Is A Depth Of Neutral That Simultaneously Draws I AM Inside While I AM Descends The Midline → Creates A Vacuum In The SA Node → Infinite Consciousness Implodes Infinite Consciousness In All Your Cells → Consciousness Unites With Love, The Spanda, Or Pure Breath of Love → Every Heartbeat Pulses Love → That Escorts You On Your Grail Journey → That Unites Body, Consciousness & Love
BE STILL AND KNOW I AM LOVE
