Road Trip

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

 

The road trip has been very nice, is very good company. I'm excited to

drive cross country for the first time, and glad that I have a traveling

companion with whom I share so many perspectives. It has been great to connect

to a fellow KAS1 member and also just to connect with another person who is on

the path.

 

asked if anyone would like to join, and I felt it was done in such good

faith and was very free spirited. I'm glad we can share the journey.

 

One of my reasons for going on the trip was to provide good company to a fellow

kundalan, but also I wanted to make it a gesture of opening up to life. My

goals are to open up to the world, and this seemed like it would be a very human

experience. I'm glad I showed up for it.

 

We discussed how circumstances can be very be symbolic. This made me think of

my drive to NC, where we began our journey. It was rainy for the first couple

hours, which was nerve racking because it strained my concentration. The rain

passed but there were times where I could see massive thunderstorms and

lightening in the distance. I felt some fear but immediately let it go, as I

realized that I need but fulfill my intentions. This felt like even though

moving into the unknown can seem frightening, it doesn't have to be.

 

During our drive today we talked about her perceptions since she began her

journey with the kundalini. We talked about how to read the signs. For me it

felt like the signs will show up in the outer manifestation as a reflection of

our inner activity. We traveled many miles under a beautiful sky, the clouds

had openings where several vivid shafts of light came down and illuminated the

view before us. We pondered together the idea that the perception could be such

a sign. The veil is lifting and you can see the light shining through.

 

The drive has been uneventful, and I mean that in a good way. Very little

traffic, great weather, and have run into no big delays. In the evening I am

grateful for arriving safely to a place where I can sit back a relax. At this

point I process the day and prepare myself for sleep. Here I give thanks for

all my blessings and spend time imagining what life would be like as my dreams

come true.

 

I did have some interesting astral and dream experiences. In one dream I was

meditating in the lotus position. There was a teacher there who was helping me

dissolve my body awareness. Upon doing so the sensation of my toes would

slightly tingle and my body would vanish upwards to my crown. After hitting the

crown it felt like I reappeared in a mirrored realm in the lotus posture. The

instructor seemed frustrated as I fell back down into my body consciousness.

Then he began to help me meditate in conjunction with the mirror form of myself.

It was strange. Then a really wild dream took place. There were lights and

light rings and entities or characters. They seemed to dance with each other

and annihilate one another. But when one annihilated the other it would create

its opposite. So for most of the dream I observed how the annihilation of one

was the birth of the other, and no matter how much they tried to cancel each

other they couldn't because it seemed each one's end was the beginning of the

other and so on. Very colorful and strange, lol.

 

Blessings to everyone in the group.

I am thoroughly enjoying the experience you share with us! Thank you so much and

I am so very glad you and have each other for company on the trip. Things

are so much friendlier with two! And 2 K awakening people at that...wow! Seeing

the landscape and observations through both your eyes has taught me something as

well so thank you so much for sharing and blessed journeys to you as you go on.

 

I've been to Santa Fe a few times, remember the little town square there and the

Native Americans selling jewelry on the sidewalk outside the town hall or

courthouse. I remember seeing that Scottish Rite Masonic place. I thought it was

bit creepy! But that's just me. There is some beautiful scenery there, I love

the cliffs and colored rock, the native ruins and petroglyphs, the natural

springs of Ojo Caliente, check out the Sanctuario in Chimaya. It felt really

interesting. A place of healing for many years and revered by the locals there.

Much to see and do. Absorb and enjoy!

 

Embracing you both in Love,

Valarie

i am sitting out on the deck out of the sun - i was told to be very careful here

- since we are so high up 7200 feet i think the sun is strong and can do some

nice skin damage -

the clarity i see in the hills just amazes me - there are songs of many new

birds a train in the far background and a plane overhead - the wind is winding

thru the trees - a windchime of deep sounding bells is ringing behind me - this

is the kind of place one can get lost in and not want to return to the reality -

i will have to be very careful for i am at a place in my process where fading

away seems an option - being around people other than ones that are open and

honest is very difficult - and here i will be with kids and many young folks -

all into their own thing -

 

lessons of tolerance - forgiveness and gratitude i see in my near future- biting

my tongue is becoming the norm once again and i do not like it - i find wearing

the expected mask and presenting the expected persona is really tiring and

leaves me craving aloneness- there are many areas here that i will have the

opportunity to get away -and just exploring the areas will offer some solace i

think-

 

today i go to the house where i will be staying to unload the car - am curious

as to how the area there is - i feel like a real vagabond - this adventure will

set in when Zach leaves for i will be on my own - so til then i will enjoy the

company and the wanderings -

 

love to you

e

 

ty for the suggesitons -

Eilenn, I understand what you mean about putting on the expected mask and having

to fit into what you feel no longer a part of. I'm getting that more and more,

too. I'm happy to come home, throw the mask in the corner and just be myself, my

true self. I can do that to some extent out n public and esp. with certain

friends. But in general, I just don't fit in the world as it is. To be with like

minds in one place would truly be like heaven. No guard to keep up, no mask to

wear, wide open and not afraid to be. How nice that would be! So for now home is

my sanctuary and even it isn't 100% open. I'm guarded in some subjects with my

hubby. I deal...

 

The Ojo Caliente place, if you go there, is a hot spring and it is a " spa " , so

you pay to use the hot springs. Just thought you ought to know that. I liked it

though, it was my first experience with that and it was really neat to feel

these hot soft water springs coming out of Mother Earth. Very grounding.

 

Yes, wear sunscreen and a hat preferrably! You do need to watch it. And drink

plenty, it's so very dry here compared to back East!

 

You'll find your footing, e, and you will do what needs to be done. As St.

Julian said, " All is well and all will be well " .

 

Blessings as you go exploring!

Hey Valarie,

 

To be honest, there aren't my instances where I would take a trip like this

without knowing the person, but I met her through this group. It attracts

interesting people who have a reverence for life. In my heart I knew that I

would feel safe and comfortable with . We've been able to share our

thoughts and feelings about many things, and I feel making the connection has

helped me to open up to life. We all learn from experience, and from this

journey, which spans the united states and the dimensions of self, I'm looking

forward to making more connections and living a more adventurous life.

 

The couple who hosted us from couchsurfing.org was so wonderful. They radiated

love, and I couldn't have felt more welcome. It's funny too, because I wouldn't

mind staying their for an extended period of time just to read their library!

lol

 

We are at Elieen's new home, and again my host is so gracious. She made me home

made mushroom soup, which I've never had before. Tomorrow I'm going to help her

take out some old doors and other items that need to be thrown away.

 

Look out for some of our recently posted photos, you'll see some familiar images

from Sante Fe. If you thought the masonic library looked creepy, wait till you

see me lounging on the front steps. lol I enjoyed the energy of this place,

there is so much appreciation for beauty. It would take a few weeks to enjoy

all of the art here. One of my favorite pieces was a sculpture of an indian

woman on her knees in an energetic kriya. Most probably wouldn't recognize this

as such, but her spine was completely straight, head tilted upwards, and her

eyes were closed in the rapture of spirit. I've had first hand experience of

that exact pose. Well, that's my subjective interpretation anyway.

 

This interesting journey resulted from the group, so I am more than happy to

share it with everyone.

 

Regards
