is well known for his contact with a group of interdimensional
galactic beings called the Hathors. In the present
day, many people will recognise the name Hathor in connection with the This
page contains the reproduction of two of the pages from Tom’s website that
relate to the Hathors. The first is a kind of
introductory guidance to try to get us to stand outside our usual linear
three dimensional way of thinking so that we can appreciate better what he
then goes on to say in the second page about the Hathors.

Before you read
over the material in this Hathor section, I would
like to offer a bit of advice—an intellectual consideration if you will. I will tell you
what I say to those who attend my workshops—keep an “imaginary box” beside you at all times. If what I
say doesn’t make sense to you or violates your view of reality, then I
suggest you just toss it in the box. Never swallow or accept as truth,
anything anyone says without sifting it through your own life-experience, your own sense of logic, and, very importantly, your own personal values. Swallowing ideas
without chewing on them and digesting them thoroughly can lead to a type of
mental and/or spiritual indigestion. And for this type of ailment, there is
no such thing as an instant antacid. There are those
who say that one should leave one’s sense of logic and rational thinking
behind when entering into the spiritual realms of experience—that one must
fully and completely surrender to faith and not let reason enter into the picture.
Personally, I think this type of thinking is dangerous. We need all our wits
about us and all the intelligence we can muster if we are not to become
deluded on our way to spiritual illumination. It is the true light of
self-awareness that we seek, not the false luminosity of personal fantasy and
desire. In this regard, logic and rational thinking are not the nemesis of
channeled communications; they are critical allies. Regarding Higher
Dimensions of Consciousness If I might be so
bold as to summarize the Hathors’ central message,
it is this—as humans we have access to other dimensions of consciousness.
This interdimensionality
is part of our innate being, but it is something that has to be cultivated or
developed. What do I mean,
exactly, when I say interdimensionality? To explain
this, let’s take a look at it from several perspectives—how interdimensional of me! As you are
reading this, or hearing it read to you, the language centers in your brain
are making sense of the blabber we call English. At the same time, you might
be hearing a sound from outside—perhaps a honking horn or the sound of an
animal. You could also at the same moment, feel yourself taking a breath. All
of these events—the reading of these words, the sounds you hear and your breathing—are dimensions of consciousness. You can become
aware of any of these dimensions by shifting your attention to them. But it is your attention to an event
that makes it conscious. If you don’t pay attention, you won’t notice
something taking place. If, for instance, you are completely engrossed in
this article then you might not notice your breath, or the sounds outside.
They exist independently of your awareness of them, but in your world of
perception it will be as if they never happened. Our inner world
of perception also has many dimensions or realms. Most of these are
inaccessible to us much of the time, because—quite frankly—we have been
trained to focus on only a small bandwidth of internal experiences as
significant—namely those that make us more productive or useful to society.
While such practical states of mind are undoubtedly important, they are not
the only states open to us. In order for you
to experience these inner worlds of perception, you have to alter your brain
activity through meditation, or some other method. Then you can have a direct
experience of these worlds and the rather amazing phenomena that take place
within you. But until you experience these worlds directly, it is as if they
do not exist, because they are outside the range of your perception. The ability to
access these higher dimensions or creative worlds within ourselves, although
rather esoteric, offers unique practical benefits. For one, these other
dimensions of consciousness can often reveal creative insights and solutions
to problems that are not apparent in our normal ways of thinking and
perceiving. The history of
science is full of breakthroughs and new insights that were brought about due
to these non-ordinary states of mind. Let me be a bit more specific to help
explain what I am talking about. Science is
usually thought of as the pinnacle of human reason. The scientific method is,
after all, based upon rational observation and the logical solution of
problems. However, in actuality, those who undertake science—the scientists
themselves—have reported that, at times, the solution to a scientific dilemma
came to them through non-logical means. Take, for
instance, the German chemist Kekule who discovered
the molecular structure of benzene. He said that he struggled with this
dilemma incessantly; it was an obsession, but no resolution was in sight. Then one night
he had a dream. In the dream, he saw a snake swallowing its tail. He woke up
and realized that this was, in fact, the structure of the benzene ring. After
translating his vision into the language of mathematics, he was able to prove
that his nighttime insight had been correct. One of the
interesting things about Kekule’s dream image is
that it was centered around a classic alchemical
symbol—the uroboros.
This iconographic element depicts a serpent swallowing its tail—just as in Kekule’s dream. Thus,
significant information can be revealed to us when we enter other dimensions
of our own consciousness. The physicist, Albert Einstein, reported that he
uncovered the principles of General Relativity through a series of fantasies.
And he once quipped that one cannot solve a problem
at the level of the problem; one has to go to a higher level to solve it. The question of
dimensions has intrigued physicists and mathematicians as well as
metaphysicians for a very long time. The first consideration in regards to
dimensionality is from what standpoint one is considering it. Mathematicians,
for instance, often view dimensions in a different manner than do physicists. The Hathors have a unique perspective on dimensionality,
specifically the dimensionality of consciousness. It is their view that the
higher dimensions of our consciousness can and do affect what we call
material reality. Flatland, Where We Live When I conduct Hathor workshops in which people experience them directly
through inner attention, I
like to talk a bit about the concept of other dimensions of consciousness
before their first encounters with these beings. To do this, I sometimes
start with a brief description of a fascinating book called Flatland, written in 1884 by the
Victorian satirist, Edwin Abbott. I bring this
novella into our discussion because it explores the paradox of how those
living in a given dimension can never fully understand other dimensions
outside their own. Here is a very
brief summary. Once upon a time
there was an imaginary world called Flatland. It only had two
dimensions—length and width. Those who lived on Flatland were called
Flatlanders. No one on Flatland had ever seen anything three-dimensional
since Flatland was…well…flat. One day a sphere
(a ball) passed through Flatland. As it made first contact, a single point
appeared in their world, which grew to be a small circle. And then the circle
grew larger and larger. At one moment, the circle was very large, the largest
it ever got. This moment corresponded, of course, when the ball’s largest
circumference was passing through Flatland. And then, for no
apparent reason, the circle started getting smaller and smaller until it
disappeared into a point. And then the point disappeared. There were many
ideas about what had happened, but no one on Flatland knew what had actually
occurred. The Flatlanders simply could not imagine anything like a sphere
because they could not conceive of anything outside the reference of their
two-dimensional world. I think we are
like that. We live in our
day-to-day three-dimensional world thinking that this is all there is. If
time is the fourth dimension, as some theorists (though not all) have
suggested, then most of us have a pretty good grasp of it as well. By that I
mean we can tell time, and can show up at meetings and appointments on time. And for most of us that is all
we are interested in. The Paradox of Time But there are
other ways of looking at time. Our modern mechanistic perception of time is
only one aspect, and when we transcend or stop perceived time all together
(as in meditation or certain types of esoteric practices) things get very
interesting. Indeed, when we step out from the rut of perceived time (via
meditation, etc.) we more easily enter other realms of human experience.
These unusual states of mental and physical being have been described by
mystics, yogis, and other illuminated beings for eons. Their
descriptions of their encounters with the numinous
(a Jungian term for the light filled realms of being) were, of course,
expressed through the cultural filters of their time. Thus the mystical
language of Christian contemplatives and mystics are, on the surface, different
from their Judaic and Islamic cousins. And certainly these descriptions are
even more dissimilar from their Asian counterparts—Hindu and Buddhist yogas, the Taoist alchemies of The similarities
that I am speaking of here are not related to belief, spiritual lineage, or
dogma. Indeed, many spiritual traditions are in complete opposition to each
other on fundamental points of dogma. In spite of these differences, there
are striking commonalities in regards to the methods these mystical, yogic
and shamanic disciplines employ to enter the numinous. And the alteration of
perceived time—whether attained through meditative trance, contemplative
prayer, drumming or chanting—is central to all these traditions. Indeed, we could
say from the standpoint of modern neurophysiology that it is through their
alteration of perceived time (and its attendant changes in brain state) that
all yogis, mystics, saints and shamans apprehend what they call the Divine, the Transcendent Self, the Tao,
or Great Spirit (depending
upon their intellectual and philosophical bent). In other words,
mystical and religious experiences occur
(neurologically speaking) due to distinct changes in brain processing. Please
note I am not saying that mystical experiences can be reduced to, and are the
sole result of physical changes in the brain, but such experiences are
definitely characterized by simultaneous events in the nervous system. This
may sound like splitting hairs to some, but for those of us involved in the
pursuit of scientific insight into mystical states of mind, it is crucial to
be as rigorous as possible. My personal
conviction is that the numinous realms of being (i.e. mystical experience)
open to us a fascinatingly rich area of human potential, but only when the
imprisonment of dogma (religious and/or cultural belief) has been stripped
away. The methods used
by mystics, yogis and shamans to generate altered states of consciousness—the
types that lead to numinous and transpersonal experiences—have been a
long-standing interest to me. I even wrote a book, Brain States, which is a guide that
shows the reader how to create altered states of awareness—as a means to
access the more creative potentials of his/her brain and mind. From the
standpoint of neuropsychology, channeling is just
another expression of our brain/mind’s potential—albeit an unusual one. As a
psychotherapist and as someone who was involved with brain research for over
ten years, I regard channelings—in general—as a
type of transpersonal psycho-artifact.
By this I mean that the information (or message) that comes forward through
the act of channeling is born from an interface between the personal
psychology and transpersonal aspects of the channel. The Process of
Channeling Anyone who
channels does so by altering his or her awareness in some manner. The result,
regardless of the method used, is that the channel enters into a deeply
altered state of internalized awareness
(trance). For the time-period of the communication
one is more or less detached, and somehow suspended from one’s normal ways of
being in the world, including one’s perception of perceived time. This is a
direct result of changes in brain state, i.e. an increase in alpha and theta
activity on the part of the channel. As exotic as the
channeling state may sound, I believe that it is an inherent ability that
most, if not all of us, possess. It is simply a matter of learning how to
voluntarily change one’s own brain state. But there is
another element in the channeling phenomenon that is critical for us to
understand. It is the question of “filters.” I personally don’t think that
there is such a thing as a totally clear channel. We can approach being a clear and open channel, and hopefully
get ever more impeccable, but the
Presence or information
that presents itself through the channel is somehow affected by the
channel—especially by his or her emotional state, subconscious beliefs and miasmas (toxic personal distortions). This unavoidable
filtering of information by the channel is why I said earlier to always have
an imaginary box by your side. If something doesn’t make sense to you, toss
it in the box. Don’t accept it as truth. Test it through your own sense of
logic, your own life experience and own your values. It is my hope
that those of you who read these Hathor messages
will do just that. See what works for you. Toss out the rest. One of the worst
things that could happen with this type of information, in my opinion, would
be to deify it in some kind
of new age cultism. Instead, look at the
messages simply as another perspective on our world. If the
information helps you to be more resourceful and happy in how you deal with
your life (as it has with mine) then this channeling stuff will have been
worth the effort. Tom Kenyon December 26,

Who
Are the Hathors?
The Hathors say that they are a group of interdimensional,
intergalactic beings who were connected ancient In the nearly
twenty years since first-contact, I have tried and tested their “inner
technologies” many times, and have always found both their methods and their
perspectives illuminating. While the Hathors do offer information in the form of language,
their primary mode of communication is through catalytic sound patterns.
These sounds are “channeled” through my voice during “sound meditations,”
which I often offer during workshops and retreats. I personally find it
interesting that my vocal range has expanded (along with my mind, I might
add) in the years that I have been working with them. When I started, I had a
range of nearly three octaves; now it is just shy of four. This extended
vocal range only occurs when I am actually channeling sound from other
dimensions. In the Hathor Material, a book I co-authored with Virginia Essene, here is how they introduced themselves: We are the Hathors. We come in love and with the sounding of a new
dream reality for your earth. If you are ready to build the new world, we
invite you to join us on a journey of the mind and heart. We are your elder
brothers and sisters. We have been with you for a very long period of your
evolution on this planet. We were with you in eons past – even in the
forgotten days before any trace of us is known in your present written
history. Our own nature is energetic and interdimensional.
We originally came from another universe by way of Sirius which is a portal
to your Universe, and from Sirius we eventually proceeded to your solar
system and the etheric realms of Venus. In the past we
have specifically worked with and through the Hator
fertility goddess of ancient We are what you
might term an ascended civilization – a group of beings existing at a
specific vibratory field, even as you have an energy signature. It is simply
that we vibrate at a faster rate than you. Nonetheless, we are all part of
the mystery, part of the love that holds and binds all the
universe together. We have grown as
you have grown, ascending to the One Source of all that is. We have grown in
joy and through sorrow, as have you. We are, in terms of the vastness, a
little higher on the spiral of awareness and consciousness than you are;
therefore, we can offer you what we have learned as friends, mentors and
fellow travelers on the path that leads back to remembrance of All That Is. We are not
saviors; we’re not messianic. We want to clearly step out of that projection
so that the reader understands that we are simply elder brothers and sisters
offering our understanding and what we have learned. You may take it or leave
it but we offer it freely. In our understanding, the belief that different
alien intelligences are going to save you, is just a
projection of human unconsciousness. The hope that someone or something will
save you, that you will not have to make any changes in yourself, that you
will not have to be responsible, is unrealistic. The belief that
you can stay in patterns of lethargy and unconsciousness, then take something
or have something given to you that will transform you without any effort on
your part, is sheer folly. It won’t happen. Now, there may be alien
intelligences that land, for they certainly exist, but those humans who count
on others to bring in their ascension and elevation without any work on their
part, are going to be very disappointed. Ascension is a
process of self-awareness and mastery on all levels and it necessitates
bringing all those levels of one’s existence upward. That is how we see it
and that is how we have done it for millennia. By offering our
aid, however, we do not wish to interfere with your other spiritual helpers
and cosmic relationships in any way, nor with any religious beliefs,
affiliations or organizations of help to you. Even so, there is a great deal
we would like to share. We know Sanat Kumara well for it was he who asked us to enter
this Universe. As an Ascended Master, Sanat Kumara
has taken on numerous responsibilities associated with the elevation of
planet Earth and this solar system. He is working for the ascension, the
evolution of consciousness in the solar system, as we are. To learn more
about the Hathors and their message, read The Hathor
Material: Messages from an Ascended Civilization (ORB) (scroll down) There are
currently two CDs with Hathor sounds. Infinite Pool: Entering the
Holographic Brain, thirteen Hathors vocalizing
through me to stimulate increased activity in the corpus callosum.
