Dismemberment and Specters Tara to x2

[Guest guest]

I have been giving much thought to this notion dismemberment. I have gone so

far

as to ask for it along with help, guidance, and support. Is there anything else

I should

know? Is there anything I shoud do? It sounds like it should happen

spontaneously,

but when will I know, and when will it be done? Am I put back together? Sort of

re-configured? Re-Organ-Eyes(ed)? I'm a little frightened of the prospect.

This way

of being is somwhat familiar.

 

This reminds me of my favorite movie The Wizard of OZ. The scarecrow is pulled

apart by the flying monkeys and exclaims, " They took my legs and they threw them

over there. Then they took my arms and they threw them over there... " The lion

and

the tinman put him back together.

 

Yesterday I laid in some tall grass that had turned to straw and asked for

guidance about dismemberment. I said I was ready to surrender. The wicked

witch

of the west wrote in the sky, Surrender Dorothy.

message I sent to him personally. Would you? This subject

has been on my mind continually for the last few days. I have been looking up

information

on the internet and in books I have to help prepare me. I have given much

thought to

where I would go to allow this to take place in safety and privacy.

 

Thank you Barbara for sharing your experience. It makes it more real and less

frightening

for me. Nothing is happening out of the ordinary for me at the moment, other

than I have

been dreaming alot about riding bicycles, ha ha. Brett, you are probably closer

to this

than I am right now. They are knocking on your door! Go in courage brother.

 

I want to share a passage I got from a book on Taditional Symbols by J.C.

Cooper:

 

Dismemberment: The death and rebirth symbolism of initiation; the necessity of

the death

of the self before reintegration and rebirth; the two complementary phases of

disentegration and reintegration. It also represents unity giving way to

fragmentation,

multiplicity and disintegration of creation, the many rising out of the One.

Dismemberment is closely connected with sacrifice. Gods, such as Osiris,

Zagreus,

Dionysos, dismembered and scattered and reintegrated, represent the mulitplicity

of the

manifest world in creation and the final restoration of primordial unity.

Mystic

dismemberment can be a feature of the initiation of a Shaman.

 

But we already knew this didn't we? El Collie wrote about it in her website as

an inevitable

part of the kundalini journey. May we all face our own initiation with bravery

and trust.
