Shaktipat - Thanks & Dream Sharing

October 1, 2008

I just want to chime in with my gratitude for the Shaktipat

too, Chrism! This was my second one. This time I did experience the

whole kidney and thirst thing - a first for me. By the 4th or 5th day, I

had to back off on my practice because I was starting to get a little loopy in

the head. I also experienced what seemed to be an almost violent

re-setting of my monthly cycle. I share that just in case any other women

out there experience this. It rather frightened me. reminded

me privately that the K can amplify fears. I knew that on the

intellectual level, but you know, when one is in the grip of fear, it feels so

..... legitimate! I didn't even pause to think that my fear about it

might be amplified - I was taking my feeling VERY seriously. So that was

a good lesson.

I had the strangest dream on the 4th night that I just have to share. It

is a little long but it just cracked me up!

I am in this long line of people with my family around me. The line is

moving very quickly and it is winding up all these strange stairways that

remind me of Escher drawings. I have no idea where we are headed but

everyone is happy. I reach the top and there is a dark, still pool.

At the other side of the pool are two slides. Everyone is entering the

pool and going down a slide. I began to wade into the water. Suddenly, I

feel little hands all over me. I look down and there are these very small

humanoid creatures grabbing me. They are dark with glowing green

eyes. I freak out and immediately begin heading back the way I came to

get out of the water. They grab me hard and haul me into the water.

I am now floating on my back while they hang on to me. There seems to be

some debate about which slide to send me down. I now realize that one

slide leads to Heaven and the other, Hell. Meanwhile, my family goes on

without me. A voice (God?) from over head says to the little creatures,

"This one is on sale because she eats twice as much as she should."

and this big billboard appears showing me on sale and eating too much. I

say, "Hey! Wait just a minute! I have been correcting

that." I am ignored as the humanoids and God discuss my fate.

I decide to take matters into my own hands. I make a sudden break for it

and dive down the slide that I saw my family head down and that I assume is

Heaven.

I travel a long ways and at one point I realize I have "passed

through" and am now dead. I feel a little sad but then figure I just

have to roll with it. I reach the bottom of the slide and have landed in

what appears to be a Tim Burton type of haunted house. I realize too,

that this is Hell, not Heaven. So my mad dash didn't work. My legs

are sticking out straight as boards and I can't move them. They are

sickly green and a little shrively looking. This garishly dressed woman

lifts me out of the water and brings me to a little beauty salon. I say,

"I can't move my legs." and she pats my arm and says, "That's

the rigormortis, my dear. I am going to take care of that."

Before I can say a word, she grabs a baseball bat and hits me right below my

right knee just as hard as she can. I yell out 'WAIT!!!!! Just give

me a minute to assimulate it all!!!!!" It didn't really hurt but it

was shocking. After I catch my breath, I wave her on and she just beats

the hell out of my legs. Strangely, they now feel better. She spins

me around and we look at me in the mirror. I totally don't look like

myself - I look like a man and I don't have any hair. She brushes paste

all over the top of my head and then we stick tufts of brightly colored hair to

my scalp. I am feeling really good and kind of silly now. I stand

up, notice my right leg is bent backwards so I crack it against the wall till

it is facing the right direction and I can walk. Then I begin to do the

Cha-Cha with the beautician. It takes a little while to get working in

unison. I ask her, "Am I leading or are you?" and she says,

"I am leading, my dear."

Weird! It makes me laugh even now, it was so strange. Anyway, thank you

Chrism, for the Shaktipat and thanks to the rest of you for the community you provide.

That was a fun dream Alice, I had some strange ones too during

Shaktipat week. I couldn't remember mind though. I have had an alien

type dream some time ago of a lot of people in long lines, but

instead of steps it was large tubes they were going through. The

people where all tranced out except my grandson and I. I was trying

to get his mom to come out of trance without the aliens noticing that

we were not tranced out. We got caught and we made a run for it to

escape, but woke up before I knew if we were able to escaped or not.

Can hardly wait for Sarita's interp on that one.

Linda, your dream sounds almost identical to mine! Except none of us were in the trance and I honestly didn't get the sense that any of it was "evil". I just got freaked out by those little humanoid creatures and I wasn't quite expecting death upon entering the slide. I am looking forward to Sarita's interpretation too!-aLinda <crazycats711 Sent: Wednesday, October 1, 2008 3:04:05 PM Re:
