Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Dhyana borrowed your intro ok? If not i'll delete fast.. On the thoughts of the heart day shaktipat, I as usual take the left hand spin and have a look at the shadow areas of the heart.. I'm travelling into the areas of social rejection, how the heart feels to be on the outside of life,and ostracised for different beliefs, as kundalini takes us there to learn about ourselves and others. I wanted to talk a bit about spiritual morality, and how ethics really depend upon which chakra you are looking at the world from. The perceptions of morality tend to change radically as you ascend through the chakras. Ethical issues that are primary in the perceptual universe of the lower chakras are irrelevant at the top>No right no wrong only love. I happened on the archives, I hope you don't mind Dhyana, your story touched my heart and I learned much from it.It is your intoduction to the group... Greetings all. I just joined an find that I'm very excited about the experience here with all of you. I'm laughing at myself in trying to write a brief bio...so much is changing! Anyway, I've been in this world 53 years, finding myself to be a christian mystic (having been kindly asked to leave many churches because I was a danger to the group...some sighing with relief when I left on my own) so I haven't fit in well with the mainline branches of Christianity, but I have a very deep experience with Christ. I'm an artist, specialty being iconography (which I'm painting at the moment a Madonna and Child...brush is waiting in my teeth as I take a short break here with you). I'm married to an Irishman, who is an ordained Episcopal Priest hating the direction the Church is moving in...but he's really Orthodox in heart and I see him moving in that direction. He lets me be me, which is wonderful, though I don't know what kind of an Orthodox wife I'll make him. LOL I've had some experiences with Kundalyn, though I feel I'm blocked, so I'm here to try and unblock. I've had some wild experiences already, and can't imagine what will happen when the energy is moving. Thanks for listening, and I look forward to getting to know some of you. Any comment you want to make about yourself will help me, and I won't forget it. Love, Dhyana I felt and understand how you must have felt in those days when here you were bursing with new ideas to share with the other church members but they were stuck in the *trap of righteousness* ..stuck in the hazardous belief system of judgements of *what other people need* as a motive for their heroic action. That attitude is what creates the most heinous repressions. What other people need looks like myrterdom, smells like prison.Itis the ugliest of emotional projections, as it tramples those it tries to help by projecting weakness onto them.Its a separation game of the ego. The oposite of it is namastie.The divine in me honours the divine in you and sees we are one. If those people in your old churches had realized that the god-ess is in everyone, playing a game of pretending to be less the idea of helplessness and suffering really changes . Their nature of compassion in them would have changed too. Thanks for your intro Dhyana and my heart is with you at that time when those other church goers wished you would leave. It was a blessing to me on shaktipat heart day and I wanted to share it with ou all, as I have been meditating on it today.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks for bringing that up, Paula, I have never read Dhyana's intro. Gosh Dhyana, I admired you before reading that, but even more so now. At least you had the courage to let your truth be known. I just sat in silence and thought if they knew what I was thinking, I would be kicked out. LOL! There at the end, I did speak up once and caused a big rugus in a sunday school discussion. The guy became so angry right there and then, in front of everyone. I was so upset with my self for saying anything and was wishing a whole would open up and swallow me. This man's wife and I became good friends for a while afterwards though, which seemed a little strange. Linda , " alayafire " <ari.reza wrote: > > Dhyana borrowed your intro ok?

You are an example to us .. Thank you Paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a time in my life where I experienced rejection to the max. I am grateful for it, for now it has no power over me. I even felt what appeared to be God's rejection to the max (part of my experience) and I even passed through that. Now " rejection " is just a word. I love the freedoms that Fire brought to me.
