Meditation 10 is the first inclusion of shamanic drumming in the series. There are two versions of the tape, one with a flow state drum kit improvisation (version here: https://youtu.be/9uesNTNPOUQ) over the first section, and the other with a single repeating percussion rhythm (version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suO4lg6DN3Y). Both versions, however, heavily feature the ancient Egyptian “sistrum” instrument. This was a handheld frame with metal rings, hanging from spokes running across the frame (https://irp.cdn-website.com/cf150c9f/dms3rep/multi/Egyptian+sistrum.jpg). It sounds much like a modern tambourine, but with a deeper pitch. The sistrum was used heavily in ceremonies, specifically honouring the goddess Hathor, known as the goddess of music and love and the sky (among other things).

 

As the drums slowly fade out in the track, the sistrums return to carry you to the next peak. This is to simulate the procession to the inner sanctum, where only the priestesses and their sistrums may go. There, you will meet Hathor.

 

Target Focus Note: Eb3

​

The tempo for meditation 10 is not arbitrary. I used the 3.78 Hz frequency for inducing out of body experiences, but converted this to 226.8 beats per minute. The percussion’s role is to solidify that 3.78 Hz in your perception, so that your brain waves follow it. There is a higher octave Eb binaural beat at exactly double the frequency of the main, 7.56 Hz. This pulses in alignment with the main binaural beat, but induces more active brain waves, with the aim of switching back on your conscious mind while you're in the dream state or outside your body. In the end, that is the real purpose here. I've become obsessed with returning to my lucid dream state (or OBE...not sure which happened). There is no better way to rip the veil away, then to leave your body. If it's possible, I hope that I can experience it (again), and get that much closer to the truth. We are moving through mysterious layers of the universe every moment, but our bodies have evolved to filter them out? Fair enough...perception of these layers, especially if it took practice meditating, may not have been helpful while avoiding predators. Not only that, our deep ancestors likely did not have the capacity to perceive these layers at all. So evolution would have selected for proficiency with the senses of the physical world. Maybe we are just that lucky, and we are living through the moment where this light is switching one. I'll be dreaming either way.

 

Now, follow the priestess procession to the inner sanctum, to the sound of their jangling sistrums, and let the goddess Hathor lift you from your body, proving without a doubt the distinction between the two worlds we move through every moment. The astral and the physical, the mental and the material, the Luciferic and the Ahrimanic.
