Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Dearest Beloved Groups – I am writing this post to both the kas-1 group and Kundalini Healing group. As most of you know, I am infected with Lyme and had a hepatitis-b vaccine injury which has now left me with an inability to walk as well as other neurological deficits (difficulty in handwriting, eating, showering, basic activities of daily living). Lyme is often misdiagnosed as MS and I have multiple brain lesions that fall in a pattern which is characteristic of MS. I had a long IM conversation with last night/this morning and under his guidance and suggestion I am writing this declaration to surrender my private anguish. The things I will write here are extremely personal to me and they are issues which cause me to have to continually repeat forgiveness on a daily basis. It probably will read like a soap opera and will look like a laundry list of gripes, but realize these are issues I attempt to forgive each and every day. suggested this as part of breaking loose blocks trying to interfere with healing / forgiveness. Okay, let's begin in childhood – alcoholic / abusive father. Dad has drank and torn up the house for as long as I can remember. As a young child, the routine was daily activities followed by dinner which may or may not get scattered all over the floor, depending on the level of intoxication. I often witnessed him assaulting my mother, sometimes striking her, sometimes not, but always with a crazed, evil look in his eyes. I would have frequent nightmares, and I even believe we had spirits in the house secondary to that; else my nightmare visions were extremely vivid. I can still see it. As I grew older, on the outside, it looked as though I was a spoiled, but happy teenager. The chaos continued however. My father in a drunken rage tore up my itinerary and scholarship to attend a trip to Washington DC for gifted students. My mother refused to help. She allowed my father to pour gasoline on her; luckily, he was too drunk to light the match. Moving to Missouri was one of the happiest times of my life. I recall experiencing a culture shock to see how normal people can be. I even went to church for a while. At the time, I was doing several shifts in the Intensive Care Unit because I thrived in that atmosphere. I had a respiratory therapist buy me a $100 bottle of wine after making three " champagne taps " (spinal taps without any red cells). Mom and Dad came for a visit about a month later and that was the end of my bottle of wine – beginning to end that is – c'mon. Why I moved back to Oklahoma I have no idea, but I was persuaded, mostly by my best friend Dan, and my Dad. Since being in Oklahoma, I have been plagued by my parents and their church friends. I am tired of hearing that I am going to hell because my house resembles a Hindu temple. Luckily, I think they have given up on me. I would pray to God and Jesus " Lord, save me from your followers! " DAN – My best friend left me out in the cold when I needed him most. We have been together for 19 years. He has been with me through 2 marriages, the death of my twins, and my recent illness. We have done everything together. Mostly flying, but also some scuba diving. He taught me aerobatics and I taught him instrument flying. I would always accompany him ferrying an airplane back to Oklahoma to restore in case he ran into any weather. I was nervous when I first became ill and nonambulatory but was comforted when he brought me a postcard with a P-47 on it with nose art entitled " Strawberry Bitch " . I knew everything was normal then; or at least I thought so. Our relationship was like that. I told him I was having a bad day and he blew a gasket; we haven't spoken since. I talked to his wife a few times, and she says he misses me and is depressed, but where is he when I'm stuck in bed now? I don't understand men at all. DOUGLAS – husband #1 – father of twins. Not a bad guy, but not nearly intelligent enough for me to stay with. He was late to their funeral. One request; he dropped the ball. He actually wanted to get remarried after the divorce. Nope! ROB – husband #2 – lawyer – OMG! He was so difficult to get divorced from. Kept the legal thing going just to spite me. He said he not give me a divorce unless I paid him beacoup bucks, because he deserved it. What??????? He never once helped around the house, would take my credit cards, charge on them, and I would have to pay. A real loser. Thank God I didn't have kids with him. Mom – She basically failed to protect me growing up. She was too " in love " with Dad to know what's good for herself or anyone else. No spine. University where I last worked – they had me working for 2 months straight without a day off until I began falling down in the parking lot. I never despised a job so much. Myself – I am too picky and too much of a perfectionist and esily lose patience with others. Hospital where I had my twins and ob/gyns that provided care for me – they did multiple amnios and ultrasounds to assess the twins and I always had to get a Rhogam shot afterward due to having AB neg blood. Rhogam is similar to a vaccine in it's action and I have had an adverse vaccine reaction myself, which leads me to believe this contributed to the death of my twins. My main OB said, " You don't know that they would have lived. " Excuse me? That's no excuse for sloppy medical care! These are the major players that I am working on forgiving. I struggle because I forgive, feel better, find myself holding grudge again, forgive, feel better, . . . . ad nauseum. Thank you for reading and listening. Yes, I'm crazy! Aren't we all? This is my declaration for surrenduring to shakti and God for forgiveness of all these transgressions permanently.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi Melissa, Thanks for sharing that. I'm so sorry about what you have been through. I know how hard it is to forgive people who hurt you especially your parents. It's a good thing that you vented here and know that Chrism, all of us in the group are here for you. Also, I know that Shakti & God will take extra care, heal and protect you. Though it's hard to forgive, it is also the best and strongest healing medicine for the heart and soul. I know you are a very strong person. You are not alone. Shakti & God are on your side. You are an even stronger person now.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi Melissa, Thank you for trusting us enough to open and let go! You have my upmost respect, compassion and admiration. Yours is a life of great challenge and therefore, of profound growth. I also know challenge, as each of us do in our own way. However, yours is of a greater order of magnitude than many. I work as a nurse in aged care, looking after people in similar situations as yours, however, on average, they are far more elderly. I am there as they loose all independence; as I become their hands and legs, their friend and confidant. As they suffer through a calas and gastly or peaceful passing into the ultimate surrender. It is clear to me, life is brutal. The ego is irrelevant in the face of life - its needs and desires are but whimpers in the night. One can only have great compassion for all life forms who undergo such hardship. However, as it appears to me, this is the nature of incarnation. And it is further clear, it is no arbitrary condition. Exploration of the nature of BEING follows from all experiences; in my view, by stipulative definition, every experience is an opportunity to notice and simply realise THAT-WHICH-IS. The most subtle and mundane, the most intensely joyful, or harshly painful and brutal. Further, it flashes by so quickly. The value of life is inestimable. It seems to me, there is no goal per se; we are not going anywhere as such. I AM already; as are you. It seems it is the journey itself - the experience of life per se, in all its ordinariness and profound wonder that simply gives us an opportunity to explore and experience that which we are. To notice that which is. Thus, I do not in any way diminish your suffering or others, or my own. For the anguish of the ego structure is real; as is the pain response of one's physiology. Yet as we move through our experiences, we find they are a door way into infinity. As is the intensity of joy and love; and the general mundane ordinariness of routine life. Further, it seems to me, as LIFE moves through us, and we through it, awareness opens up; eternity is found. And it is this opening and self discovery, following from YOUR SURRENDER to experience, that is the true exploration of BEING. However, in the absolute view, we do not gain anything from this, for we have never lost anything. There is no movement in stillness. There just IS. Just BEING. Letting go of all tension, of all resistance opens a window into the noticing of that-which-is. As insight shifts into direct realisation of the very essence of that which is, then, as I have tasted it, there is simply a vast conjunction of bliss, perfection and emptiness - the infinity of still fullness. That which was always there, but unnoticed. In this way we can see, in a linear, temporal sense, there is a process - a transformation. In the atemporal sense, there is only that which is. The still BEING of eternity. It appears clear to me, sooner or later, we are all dragged kicking and screaming into the moment of surrender. Then, as that truly takes place, the goal, in the linear sense, is realised; in the eternalist view, we simply realise the totality - we notice that which is, LIFE as it is. Which neither rejects nor diminishes its binary dichotomies; nor selectively attends to the very essence of the thing. Rather, there is a realisation of the perfection of that which is here and now. The cognizance of singular, unitary mystery of unchanging BEING. Melissa, thanks for sharing your story! :-) In kind regards, Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Melissa, Thank you for sharing your deepest most personal pains with us, it is a big step to just put it all out there. I found a good method to recapitulate lost energies such as these, is to write it into a book, especially bought just for this purpose, when you have finished writing it all, burn it. Place it in a fire place, outside or in a bowl, and burn it. While you burn it pray and stare at the fire, allow the smoke to blow on you. Watch until the last spark of fire goes out and then throw the ashes into any water or into the breeze. I know you cant move much so I don't know how easily you could do this but it helps a lot. It takes a life time to build up this emotional residue so be patient with yourself in releasing it. Love Elektra x x x _________ Want ideas for reducing your carbon footprint?

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Dear Melissa, I didn't realize how hard its been for you. If you don't mind I will send you many loving and healing prayers. Thank you for sharing your story, I'm sure it was hard to do, but know that we all support, love and appreciate your sharing with us. I know how hard it is to forgive. Sometimes you think you have done everything you can and forgiven, forgiven, and forgiven again and feel great! Then another day comes along and something triggers the bad memory and the bad feelings come rolling back in. I know it can be discouraging, because you really thought you cleared this issue. Then it seems you find yourself mad or hurt all over again and don't know why. I know consciously you really want to let it all go and think you have and don't understand why it keeps popping up. But you are really working on it so acknowledge that and maybe praying for help to release it. Sometimes when I find myself in a situation where I think I cleared an emotion and later find myself back in it....I think to myself well maybe I choose this for myself because I knew it would take me here to all of you and this experience. I sometimes wonder if I didnt have those experiences if I would be here. Then that'll bug me for a bit wondering why would anyone ever want to experience horrible things...that can't be right. I wonder why can't we just get here by having a wonderful loving happy life. I don't know the answers. But what I take comfort in sometimes is that if, IF I did choose those experiences then maybe, just maybe the person I am having such a hard time forgiving really in larger terms (maybe before this life) knew this and by their actions helped me to get here. Maybe that person and I are really the best of buddies and I don't remember. I still have difficulty with this when it comes to abuse, but whether it is true or not it sometimes help me to forgive. Of course another thing is that I wonder what kind of childhood that person had; to be so hurtful as an adult. Doesnt mean I ever want to hang with them, just helps me sometimes with the forgiving process. I pray for the day when we can all practice harmlessnes and love for all. Perhaps in this journey that is what we do and then radiate out to all others. I have felt your love on this list and appreciate you very much! I pray for much healing for you. Perhaps by making this declaration it will release that which is inside and real lasting healing will begin. Know that by your sharing you help all of us. My love goes out to you and I am praying for this release in you. We will do our best to help you! With much love, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
