Guest guest Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hi.. Even though I like to think I'm not letting fear get to much space in my life.. I do notice a strange fear when going to bed alone in the darkness... its like seeing into a vast, deep dark ocean,where you never know what may come up. When I feel this, I may get glimpses of seeing entities coming to my bed, this is not comfortable but its not a fear that gets out of hand. As soon as Ithink of Jesus og Gods light, its like that feeling takes more over and the fear goes away as I feel more protected. I will say however that I havent experienced, besides in dreams, meeting these ugly entities..so I guess that the moment I do, in a more conscious way, I will need to ground myself alot,lot more in Gods light.. I will need to be able to recall that light AND THE FEELING of love and protection way more effective thatn I'm able to do now. I hope Gods light helps me in this.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 the repeating cicles of fear are for me the most effective tool for overcoming them.. no amount of " will " or thinking process and reasoning seems to get me though them when they arise... what I am finding very effective is simply staying as aware as possible and allowing myself to question their reality in that moment. allow myself to toy with the idea that they may indeed not be so valid as they feel, as reason feels them to be. to separate myself form the emotions just a little bit. it does not seem to have results in the moment, but I do see, over a span of time, that something indeed seems to be moving... lucia , " " <> wrote: > > How is it working through you?

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Interesting questions.... I will try answering.... I have felt fear manifest in many different ways over the years. The obvious type and " blatent " type of fear is not such a common experience for me any more. ( hope that statement will not prompt K to test me ...lol) I " know " that there is really nothing to fear from the weird or the wonderful that K brings. But in the changes that I am making in my life, in the changes that K demands, I am now more aware of a subtle type of fear that is present. This " variety " of fear rises very quietly and has its roots in my youth and in my ego's view of who I am and what I am and in all of my past conditioning. These fears, or this fear, has had more control over how I respond to the Kundalini than I would have realised because I would not have been aware at the time that what I was feeling was actully fear. This fear comes from the core of me... it is about my fear of being different, my fear of being wrong, my fear of being ridiculed, my fear of being marganalized, my fear of being punished, my fear of disapproval, my fear of x y and z... I could go on and on and on. I have surrendered many of these fears as best I could but even so I needed and still need lessons of repetition.... the lessons are given again and again in diffeernt ways and I then discover that I have not in fact surrendered the fears, they still exist. They have been weaved so tightly into my core. Fear is actually the skeleton that supports most of my put on disguises. Sometimes I discover that I have no longer a connection to some of my past fears and that is a joyful freedom... .. I am enjoying the fact that I know more about myself. I love that K guides me and also challenges me to drop fears and respond to her from love... even if it should turn out that some of the fears never compleatly leave me, ( and I think this might be likely) I can learn and maybe I am learning to live with them, to allow their presence but not be ruled by them.... So a work in progress, which I feel might have no end ?? love julia , " " <> wrote: > > How is it working through you? Does it control how you respond to the Kundalini?

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I wrote most of the following the first day this was posted, but did not post it. I decided today to finish go ahead and post it. I have been meditating on this throughout the day and evening and now into night. I could not go to sleep for my mind was racing about it all. I must say my fears, which are many, are being worked through as I practice the safeties each day. The more the safeties become an automatic part of me the easier my fears are eliminated, but I still do have deep rooted fears that keep coming up when something triggers them, (Like some teaching here that appears to go totally opposite of my christian beliefs.) LOL! ...then I am in like a whirlwind trying to regain balance, which is fairly often. Learning to trust God that I am not being lead wrong. I try to keep an open mind and I am definitely being stretched to the max to be here. It is not easy. Fear of being brainwashed is a big one for me. It caused me much fear when Claudia, Kat and then Julie left, and now Dhyana and Sarita are not around much any more either. I feel more alone with them all gone, not as connected. I am here because I started the practice of meditation, which cause kundalini to activate. I hope and trust that it was the Holy Spirit that lead me to this. The bible doesn't say what type of meditation Jesus did or taught his disciples to do. I do not think the bible even says he taught meditation. I guess it could be something they all did and was so common they did not feel a need to write about. If you google " meditation/ quieting the mind in the bible " you get zero....nothing, but it seems like I had read about meditation somewhere in the bible. Searching on traditional christian/bibical site they all said meditation was not taught in the bible. The mystic Christians teach comtemplative meditation and prayer, which states the opposite. So I meditated upon that until I remember the phrase..hehe! It is found in Psalm 19:14 - Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. I searched farther and found this verse in Gen 24: 63 - Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening; I found many more verses about meditating on God and creation, so a form of meditation is found in the bible. John 21:25 - And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. John 20:30 - And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. So right there the bible writers themselves say a lot of Jesus's teachings were left out, but we are given the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us in the way we should go. I just have to continue surrendering the fears and trust I am being guided correctly. Linda , " " <> wrote: > > How is it working through you? Does it control how you respond to the Kundalini?

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I think some fears are deeply hidden within for me. And ego has taken control of some of the responses to these deeply hidden fears. Ego has made the fear response so normal that it is difficult to discern when ego is controlling, when fear is controlling. Some of these fears may be handed to me from my family or society, some I created. I will keep working on discerning where truth is. Discerning if something is true and if I am really acting out of my own highest best interests and that of divinity, or if i am acting out of fear, out of ego, acting from within the comfort zone that the fear and ego have created. I think the Kundalini points me to these fears, (and the teacher) so I can resolve these issues and allow the Kundalini in more. The repetition occurs until i realize where the fear is to release. And it keeps occuring until I've released the fear enough to move on to the next issue. I think my comfort zones can help me assess where some of my fears lie.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hello Linda, I try to re-frame from posting much on this topic. Out of love I'll say what your looking for is in Gnostic text. Some gospels which are not included in the bible can be found there. I myself enjoy the book of John...currently on netflix is a movie called The Gospel of John that narrates word for word. I find great understanding in it. From the Gospel of Thomas... Jesus said, " The pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of knowledge (gnosis) and hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to. You, however, be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves. " Love, Kat. ________________________________ danceswithcats999 <crazycats711 Sun, April 25, 2010 6:15:48 PM Re: How are you working with fear?  I am here because I started the practice of meditation, which cause kundalini to activate.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hi Kat, Thanks for your post. I have read a little on the gnostic textm but decide not to get into it since they are much like the bible and could become confusing, the mixing that is. I have somewhat a problem with those text, since they were written many hundred's of years after the gospel text that is included in the bible, but they use Bible character as having been the one who wrote them. Most of the diciples were long dead by that time. What you quoted from the Gospel of Thomas is found in the bible, btw. Matthew 10:16 (King James Version) 16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I used to do that a lot, especially in my younger days. I still catch myself doing it at times. I just take note and discontinue the thought. I thank women probably do this more so than men... maybe have roots in our feelings of security. I think that is what is was for me, anyways. If it keeps persisting, I can just pick up the cell phone and dail a number, now. Thank God for cell phones!

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hi Linda, yes Ive thought about that as well. Very different versions indeed. To tell the truth I never spent much time reading any religious text. I'm pretty well a blank slate in that department. I simply stumble upon things that are hard for me to discount such as KAS and those text. Â Blessings, Kat. ________________________________ danceswithcats999 <crazycats711 Mon, April 26, 2010 3:01:42 PM Re: How are you working with fear? Â Hi Kat, Thanks for your post.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hello M, As I just posted recently, I spent a long time sitting with this. I drove myself to the extremes with this...the fear of death is a universal fear we all experience at one time or another. Ive worked threw it and for me it was alot about abandonment...for if I died they would be alone...and if they died I would be without them. Wrap this up in the fear of not having control of this or the need to...ouch. We Kundalini people know for a fact we are not alone...our loved ones are not either. When they leave us, they are greeted with love, joy and happiness...would we deny or envy them this? I wasted alot of time not allowing them or myself to simply enjoy our time together. It is all about surrender isn't Hope maybe you gain a little insight on my experience. Wow I really have changed alot! Love, Kat. ________________________________ Flower Theresa <flowertheresa99 Fri, May 7, 2010 8:33:41 AM Re: Re: How are you working with fear?  ____________ _________ _________ __ Flower Theresa <flowertheresa99@ > Kundalini-Awakening -Systems- 1 Mon, April 26, 2010 2:50:10 PM Re: [Kundalini-Awakenin g-Systems- 1] Re: How are you working with fear?  my fear manifests itself in imagined tragic scenes that often involve my childrenor my spouse...if they are late i wonder about a car accident or any thing else that could be possible in south africa..these thoughts come into my mind and i have to throw them out and think be in the moment...everything is as it should be right now...i sometimes think that i have this in my cellular memory from my mother who was the worst panic person that i know...a psychologist sad that it is perhaps a way that i use to protect myself so that when something terible happend i imagine that i will be prepared ..by thinking of the possible terrble scenario i buffer the effect...i wake in the night and these imaginings come into my head and i have to consciously cast them out but in a split second i have imagined the disaster the ambulance police and paramedics are all there and the trip to the hospital...is this my fear that i feell that i will not cope with such horrific tragedies or is it my fear in general that i need to overcome...i have not fear of the phenomena that occur .. i feell no fear from seeing objects feeling strange movements in my body or of falling or floating or with unusual things happenin i think i can communicate my amusement to shakti regarding these even the electronic equipment that fails to work for me but it does when others try...is this my fear...or is it something else am i too attached to those i love?? am able to handle death in the sense that having travelled so much in my youth..even friends i made in countries far away have gone from my life as i never saw them again...adn so died...any thoughts on my thinking...? ? peace and light m ____________ _________ _________ __ lari.lu <lari.lu (AT) (DOT) it> Kundalini-Awakening -Systems- 1 Fri, April 23, 2010 3:37:05 PM [Kundalini-Awakenin g-Systems- 1] Re: How are you working with fear?  the repeating cicles of fear are for me the most effective tool for overcoming them.. no amount of " will " or thinking process and reasoning seems to get me though them when they arise... what I am finding very effective is simply staying as aware as possible and allowing myself to question their reality in that moment. allow myself to toy with the idea that they may indeed not be so valid as they feel, as reason feels them to be. to separate myself form the emotions just a little bit. it does not seem to have results in the moment, but I do see, over a span of time, that something indeed seems to be moving... lucia Kundalini-Awakening -Systems- 1 , " " <@ ...> wrote: > > How is it working through you?

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 A Buddhist friend suggested 'getting up very close to the fear' the physical feeling, and then, like all feelings, it will disintegrate and pass away. This has really helped me.
