I responded with a very physical approach, remember amongst other things

"rolling nakedly in the snow."

"& that grounding is into earth" That is right!!!!

 

Just quickly for now but a bit in depth (my bathwater is getting cold). Also

I see that you have another post waiting for me. (later)

 

Grounding really has to be started and done *with and in and on earth*.

(The transcending part, touching the universe comes automatically.)

*with and in and on earth*, in water also, in dirt (soil), grass.

Our 'whole reality' can be divvied up into 'not just two or three' layers

like the:

mental and physical self or

mental, physical and spiritual self or

mental, physical, spiritual and emotional self.

No, there are at least seven distinctions within our wholeness, each of

which needs grounding and will then be supported by the previous and in turn

will be supporting the next distinction. Each of these distinctions, when

grounded will therefore automatically be universalised (so to speak.)

Seven distinctions in our wholeness:

Physical

Creative

Volitional (free will, clear mind)

Emotional

Vocational

Inspirational/Intellectual

Spiritual

(These seven distinctions are energised by our 7 main chakras or energy

centres.)

 

Grounding starts from the bottom up.

1 When grounding one starts physically in a physical way, (Earth

element). (Excremental huh? (Bare feet on the ground and in the mud,

puddles, lake, sea, ocean. Walk, swim, hop, skip, dance, jumping on and in,

enemas (huh?)

2 Keeping that, work on creative grounding (including sex tantric or not

so tantric:) (Water element) (Urine, our digested foodmass, lower intestinal

system, intestinal cleansing, sexual fluids)

3 Keeping that, work out body-will and body-mind power (urges, gut

feelings, volition, instincts) (Fire element). This has to do with the

application of physical mind and will (these are normally food and drink

issues, digestive problems, also diaphragm.)

4 Keeping that, work out emotional relationships, (Air element) (Dancing

together, sharing breathing space, hugging, embracing the male and female

physicalities, weeping sobbing, laughter.)

5 Keeping that, work out vocational responsibilities, work related social

aspects of your being (Space element) (Do you take too much or too little of

a load on your shoulders. How are you functioning in circles of

responsibility? How is your expression in that, are you talking truth to

yourself and others? Are you hearing yourself and others truthfully and

unbiased? Physical vibrations of voice and sound.)

6 Keeping that, work out aspirations and dreams, inspiration and artistic

endeavours, intelligent aspects of your being.

7 Keeping that, you will find that spiritually you are already whole and

integrated. The divine will just manifest to you and in you. THIS IS IT. You

support humanly, and you are being supported divinely, *unquestionably and

self evidently human/divine*. This is it. This reality of being with at

least 7 integrated distinctions)

 

This is very graduated work, ( but fun sadhana) as one works on and plays

with one distinction, emphasizes one at a time, so to say, the other

distinctions are quietly already reaping benefits.

Doing, undoing and non-doing is being.

So much on this for now.

What I did Colette, I put 2 years worth of posts in the Files section of

HarshaSatsang:

/A+collection+of+Wim%27s+posts%2C

+work%2C+pictures%2Cvisions%2Cmemories/

or try

/ and take it from there

 

It is still a bit of a grab bag. There is some wonderfully strong and also

weird stuff in there. If you want to know what I wrote so far on "emptiness,

void and or form". Open one of my text documents and then type Cntrl F and

enter a keyword. This will at some point get you to a spot that covers the

topic.

At points I sound like a arrogant SOB or quite self engrossed, but I am

really an OK kind of person. Do I ever love!!!

That is why I also asked you have you 'met' Her? I myself realised

recently that Mother earth is there to help me ground, & I had an

amazing experience in an inner city building at a grounding somatic

dance class. So I could relate to Hillary's friends' experience. Like

her friends, I felt it more alive & joyous, than what we live

thinking we are here.

Almaas' sharing - that it is undigested emotions that cause blocks

really helped me. He explained that for any experience to be

integrated we need to digest it. It's not just food he's talking about

here! This is interesting because Maharishi Mahesh Yogi speaks of the

Self digesting the Self ... & Ken Wilber talks of One Taste. So if we

resist repress or denounce certain emotions - then they remain

undigested.

 

I had a really good time last night reading this book by someone

called Rudolfo Scarfalloto who has written "The Alchemy of opposites".

Wow I really loved how he explained the difference between neutrality

& singularity :-)

valuable giving a present moment version ..
