re Fellow Feelings

[Guest guest]

Dear Eric in the bonds,

 

you asked: "But before we go further in this direction, do any of the

rest of you experience this 2nd type of emotionality? If you do, it

would add to the general character of our discussion to hear about it.

 

It's my guess, or non-provable opinion if you like, that even the object

oriented release I talk about in my 1st post and Jill, Dharma and Glo

describe in theirs, is a release of Karma in the form of pent up emotion

that has needed an object of expression and seizes on an appropriate

moment for release. "

 

yes, I do experience emotional release, which appears to me to be

nonpersonal, or perhaps transpersonal. This happens rather often in

fact these days, and follows a good deal of releasing of personal stuff,

which is still ongoing as well. They feel different, although both seem

a release of attachments, which is cleansing and healing. The

transpersonal release is accompanied by a sense of numinosity and is

humbling. I welcome it and am made glad by it. When I've done a peice

of it, my chest feels like a huge crater softly breathing a sweetness

out into the world (and into me). Well, words don't do it justice, but

yes, I am in the camp of Christopher Bache, who in his book "Dark Night,

Early Dawn" postulates that in transpersonal work, one works on one's

own historical "stuff" and when that has progressed somewhat, one opens

to working on the species "stuff". I think there is a great deal of

species "stuff" to see and release, so thank you for helping out and for

bringing attention to it.

 

Love, Mark

Dear Mark,

 

Thank you for putting into eloquent words what I have never even attempted to.

 

And also, this "species" idea really eases my mind. Because the mind

has such a habit of "freaking out" when it comes up against what it

cannot fathom, this explanation has brought it some comfort. (at

least at this moment ;)Thanks.

Love,

Kheyala
