Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Sat Nam...everyone I've had quite a realization in the last 72 hours! If we ever think that our enviroments are not reflecting what's going on inside of us, think again! For the last few days I've been wondering to myself, why am I speaking so much about gagging? Like what a wonderful topic to spend hours speaking about really! It's all been part of a transformation and integration I realized this morning that I went through in the last few days. I accidentally set my timer wrong yesterday for the,40day med given by YB at winter solstice, and ended up doing it for 20 minutes versus the "no more or less" 11 mintues it's supposed to be practiced for. When things like that happen, I always "smell God" in it. Something is a foot and be aware! This med is supposed to help you see the unseen/know the unknown etc. I think that extra 10 minutes really opened something up for me, because I woke up this morning, did the "ritual" and tuned in, and in poured this understanding of a grande theme being played out in my enviroment mirroring my inner process! What sparked the understanding was Gururattan's comment on the Warrior and the Queens approach to gagging. Some of you may recall in an earlier email, I described myself as "coming on like a Kling-on Warrior" when I'm out of balance. My Mars energy can take over in a very Masculine way and that isn't a state of balance for me, because at the heart of it, I'm really a Queen. (Although...wearing "Kling-On Warrior" on my tool belt, can come in handy at times! Ha Ha!) There's a constant "dance" within each of us to find the balance point in our being. We all have tendencies and preferred ways of being, whether they serve our higher purpose or not, you'll have to examine that on your own and see, but we feel best when we find the neutral ground. The place where we act from the center of our being, responding with appropriate action and the "heartmind" intelligence. This requires an integration of the yin/yang,left/right or if you like the feminine/masculine energies. My Mars energy is a very masculine trait, BUT, when it becomes tempered by the feminine energy, it goes from Warrior to Queen. When Queen or King is done right, it's a hand that rules with courage, compassion and heart combining radiance and magnetism with the qualities of the neutral mind. My Path number in numerology is a 9 (subtle body and also a very feminine number). Since going to Tantric at winter solstice, when I came home, I now recognize that alot of my enviroments and relationships had become "Feminized" if you will. Those who usually reacted to me with harshness had softened, those who were comfortable relating more with my warrior nature now felt on shaky ground, not sure how to be with me and those who never noticed me before, began to be drawn towards me? I am beginning to touch more of who I truely am and living it. By the way, Thank you Dharam, you play a wonderful Warrior/Masculine principle! I've had the pleasure of seeing Dharam with my "physical" eyes at winter solstice and this guy has "Warrior" written all over him! In case you haven't noticed by his written word and what he posts. "Rage On, young woman!" Them's warriors words if I ever heard them! If you had to go into battle, just from looking at him, this is the guy you'd choose to have standing in front of you for that battle! "Great Masculine" energy, our spiritual health is only affected for the better by your well thought,informative and always supportive posts, thank you Dharam. And Gururattan, embodies the feminine principle, beautifully. By the emails, I observe that she recieves, people are drawn to her for support like the "lap" of a mother. She's insightful and guides with a purposeful but gentle and compassionate hand. You touch many lives. And this is just the "tip" of the iceburg of connections and understandings I experienced this morning around what's been playing out for me in this group situation and how do I continue on my path with excellence! My teacher made the comment that the internet works very much like "True Reality". I think I'm really beginning to undestand that statement. I believe I've been extremely fortunate in my life to have come into contact with the teacher that I have. His gift # in numerology is an 11 and he embodies all of which I've spoken about beautifully and masterfully. May we all have such a blessing in our life. And I continue to be thankful and grateful to the teachers who continue to enter into my life (you know who you are), fine tuning and tweeking me into the excellence of a human being!

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Adi Shakti, Adi Shakti, Adi Shakti, Namo Namo! Dearest Sat Sangeet and Gururattan, Thank you for your musings...they get me going. I am wrestling with this principle of Warrior/Queen and it's possible parallels to Shakti/Bhakti. Shakti is the power of precision and discipline. Bhakti is the feeling of surrender and devotion. When we practice our yoga and meditation "properly", we are doing both Shakti and Bhakti. For instance while "doing" a posture we also feeling, breathing and, in general, "paying attention" to and "being" in the process. While chanting, we are vibrating the central channel or string, the other strings, in turn, are being vibrated sympathetically. We are the player and the listener. And yes, if I touch that point on the back of my tongue just right (Warrior/Shakti?), and then remember to simply allow the breath to move(Queen/Bhakti?) then reflex happens and everything works out beautifully. For me, this experience leaves me more in touch with my receptivity, my feminine. I am able to listen and hear. If I can hear myself I can be self aware. I can then hear others. Self awareness is the awareness of the needs of others. If I step back a bit further, I can see this same dance at play in my seva at Solstice. You're right, I do play the Warrior real good at at times. This past Solstice I so overwhelmed with running the Audio/Video. I don't really have the time to hang. There were supposed to be a four person crew. Two of them bailed out just before Solstice. The third fell ill after the first day of Tantric. It was down to just me after that. That left me having to scrounge up some inexperienced help. I have to be a warrior but a silent one (Ninjitsu?). If you notice me, it's because I did something imprecisely, and you'll hear audio feedback, buzzes and screeches and you have to believe me when I say that if there is ever a grating, abrasive noise, Yogiji as the Mahan Tantric, feels it in his subtle body regardless of where he is physically, and it is painful for him. And with all this responsibility I continue to breath, keep a smile within a grasp and have even been known to nod off, and I do catch a buzz from just being in the middle of all you folks doing the Tantric. I do make sure to allow myself relax at every possible moment and have a big "come down" afterward, starting with a night in a hotel with a jacuzzi....In the weeks after, the emotional work comes on it's own! All in all, it is a blessing...but I do wish I had a little more laid back time. Maybe next Solstice. At Summer Solstice we have three different options for hot water spas within an hour of the site. Interesting point, I can say that maybe this past "contact buzz" was more potent than past ones and that may be because I was so over extended. Stress, the final Frontier? Sometimes we can balance an imbalance in our doshas by going all the way into the imbalance and being it. No judgment or censoring, just being. It's homeopathic rather than allopathic. I also had to ask for help (not a forte of mine). That actually worked out real cool, after a bumpy start. It is true that the masculine/warrior is impotent without the feminine aspect. (Maybe the beard and the dress is a reminder, Tee Hee!) Sat Nam, Dharam P.S. I love Paintball! and I am merciless on the field. It's so much fun. My overall character number is a Ten but I am a Three in so many ways. Total teddy bear.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Dear Dharam Singh, Thanks for your reflections. Are you a Taurus? I am writing a new piece on the role of men and the masculine in relationship to the feminine. Taurus and the Earths signs are Shakti, a combination of both masculine and feminine energies. Men have to learn how to hold the male pole or connection to unchanging Spirit and still interact in the world which is all creative feminine energy. You were tested at Solstice to see if you could do this. And then you will get tested again and again. Keep up, men, you have a very important role to play. And yes, if I touch that point on the back of my tongue just right (Warrior/Shakti?), and then remember to simply allow the breath> to move(Queen/Bhakti?) then reflex happens and everything works out beautifully.
