History
 

The Ultra Depth® Mind Model was first realized in 1979 by James R. Ramey during his exploration into the depths beyond traditional hypnosis.  He realized that what he had learned in college during psychology classes did not coincide with what he was experiencing while working with his subjects who achieved depths beyond somnambulism.  As Mr. Ramey continued to explore the human mind he realized as well that the mind or spirit was not to be found in the physical form of the human body.  He discovered that the mind or spirit was separate and not connected to the body but perceived and interacted with the physical through the brain.  He called the brain, "the unconscious."  He found that he was able to communicate with another part of an individual which was far more intelligent than the normal conscious individual.  He also discovered early on that this part of an individual could, if it chose to, use the vocal cords of the individual to communicate verbally with him.  This would happen without the awareness of the conscious individuals awareness.  This part of these individuals introduced itself to Mr. Ramey as the individual's, "Subconscious."

He found that this type of communications would happen pretty much on a regular basis with his clients and subjects that he worked with during his research in the 1970's after his graduation from Mr. Walter Sichort's training in hypnosis.  As Mr. Ramey continued his research over the next thirty some years he encountered an individual who was one of his students that had previously came to the same conclusions that he had years before their meeting.  Sharing his theories and experiences with this individual the two of them decided after this individual graduated from his training, to become colleagues in this work as partners in the research.  This brought more clarity to what has become to be known as the Ramey Miles Mind Model© and used as the Ultra Depth® Mind Model.  His student that encountered this upon her own was of course none other than, Kimberly Miles. 

Together they have brought back what was once the 17th century French philosopher, Rene Descartes theory of the mind model that was accepted before the time of Sigmund Freud.  Today, the scientific community is beginning to accept this mind model of the mind not being housed in the brain, due to the numerous near death experiences that are being reported.  Ramey and Miles came to this conclusion many years before the scientific community accepted this as the explanation of the human mind.  Both Ramey and Miles bring about a more clear definition to who and what we are.  Below is the Ramey-Miles Mind Model© that is used in the Ultra Depth® Process.   It describes the levels of mind of an individual according to their discovery and research.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

                                               Theory

Traditionally speaking, the mind has two components.  The Conscious which is believed to be superior and the unconscious/subconscious which is believed to be subservient to the Conscious.  Both are believed to be a part of the human brain.  I personally do not find this mind model to be accurate.

We practitioners of the Ultra Depth® Process deal with a far different mind model than what tradition offers. In the illustrations below of the Ramey-Miles Mind Model©, which we use in the Ultra Depth® Process.  It consists of three major separate parts, the Conscious, unconscious or brain, and the superior Subconscious.  Each one acting independently of one another and together to make important changes in a person’s health and well being.

 

  ● Conscious  
 
  ●Subconscious  
 
  ● Brain  

 

The Subconscious communicates with the Conscious mostly through our feelings or intuition. It is able to make adjustments to the autonomic nervous system of the body by making changes in the brain's programs.  The Subconscious can override our speech, movements, visual, auditory, and sensory acuity.  It is also our immediate protector and personal guide through our life journey.  Our Subconscious has the ability to communicate with other Subconscious’ through non-verbal means. In other words, the Subconscious can communicate telepathically.

When we are born, we come into this world as a little Subconscious.  At some point in our human development, the Conscious begins to form. This occurs usually between the ages of five and twelve. The Conscious then takes control and off we go through life.  Our Subconscious now takes on the role of re-programmer for the many programs that have been and will be installed into the brain.  This is done through repeated responses to various stimuli of the senses.  The Subconscious now learns at a much higher rate than the Conscious.  All of our talents and creativity come from our Subconscious.  It is also that little voice within that we sometimes refer to as our intuition or gut instinct.

Our Subconscious works hard to advise us, through intuitive guidance, so we can have a healthier, more productive and abundant life.  Some of us heed the advice from our Subconscious, while others ignore it.  Of course, that is our choice; but, our life journey can be so much easier if we listen to and follow the guidance of our Subconscious.

Our mind model has its roots in the lost approach known as "Dualism."  Dualism views the mind and brain as separate entities. This idea was developed by the 17th century French philosopher, Rene Descartes.  Descartes believed that a person's consciousness or soul is separate from the brain but can interact in its processes.  This once popular theory has virtually disappeared from psychology.

Medical and psychological professionals have been taught to consider the mind and the brain as one.  This approach is referred to as "Materialism."  Materialism views the complex interactions among the brain's nerve cells as the creation of consciousness.  Support for their theory comes from case studies of patients who supposedly experienced disruption of consciousness after brain damage occurred.  Further more, studies with local stimulation of areas of the brain revealed recall of memories; smells; sensations; etc.

We believe that the scientific community has misinterpreted this information.  What is happening is the Conscious’ ability to express itself though the brain has been diminished.  Further evidence in proving that the mind and brain are separate is the case of the famous conjoined twins, Lori and Reba Schappell.  These twins joined at the head have a tremendous amount of shared brain tissue.  This raises fundamental questions about the mind and the brain.  According to the Materialist Theory, the twins should have the same personality, likes and dislikes. This, however, could not be further from the truth.  Both twins have very unique personalities and aptitudes as well as different likes and dislikes.  The Schappell twins' case directly supports the dualism approach of our mind model.

While working with the Ultra Depth® Process, it is important to remember the Ramey-Miles Mind Model©.  Using this dualistic approach, and understanding that our Subconscious is free and independent of the brain and Conscious to accept or reject suggestions, is the foundation of the Ultra Depth® Process.  The Subconscious, as the re-programmer of the brain, can alter the person physically, mentally, and emotionally.  In other words, working with the Subconscious is the most direct approach to helping people achieve profound and lasting results.  Truly, what the mind can conceive the body will achieve.  Subconscious communication is the key to the Ultra Depth® Process.  The Ultra Depth® Practitioner works with a system for gaining depth and guidance from the client’s and their own Subconscious.
