At least it means that I have a sense of humour  :lol: .

Still I don't understand what is the purpose of your questions (if it is not a meta-content / communication strategy  :wink:  hiding there...  :idea: ). Why don't you simply record what you need with a voice recorder? Is writing helping you to concentrate better? Why do you want to use handwriting when you can use some technique, with better results.  :?

Sorry, I was relating rather to this experiences as being Kundalini awakening, which is this, obviously:
Quote from: stamboeMy first symptoms was feeling of energy moving along my spine. And that's quite logic because kundalini travels in sushumna, the central energy pathway or nadi that runs along the spine.

I know about the dark night of the soul, it can be very painful and tough. But it's worth going through it because the development possible with kundalini is tremendous.

But Han, why are you so sure that it is so difficult? I've seen thousands of people awakening Kundalini, and only in the meditation class I attend fro some years (you can see the link in my profile).
It used to be difficult like hell before (not really difficult, rather very seldom). But these are the times in which this is happening on a collective level. There are just some many people who have witnessed it; even the interest in such energy, which has never been so strong throughout human history, is a fact.
And it is Kundalini, for all these people I have met. They really feel it, though they might not be aware of it's meaning and will not use it. Of course, if you are not a great seeker, of your desire to know/experience our Self is not so strong, Kundalini will not rise entirely, and you will only have a weak experience. But still so many people are doing this, and even if they do not understand the importance and will not meditate to strengthen this experience, still there is a great change in their life. I know many such people.

Kundalini is absolutely divine, it is the divine spark (a reflection of the Holy Ghost) which resides in each and everyone of us.
i have given a few links here, especially the first one deals with the way this spiritual energy has been mentioned in different religions.

Don't worry, CP, it's cool, you'r on the good path!  :wink:

Quote from: TelosWhat am I, a broken record?

:lol:  
Well...,  :wink:

Try to use a MP3 player&recorder: you start by recording on the MP3 what you remember from your dreams, then upload the file on your computer; then there are programs which turn speech into writing (or maybe only the other way round  :?: , I don't remember exactly, I hope I'm not wrong; but try and find such a program).

It should work. Anyway you would need to change a bit your dream recording habits... But probably you would manage it 8) .

You will be able to lay on your bed and keep your eyes shut while recording, and this might help, because your attention will remain inward.  :wink:

I hope it helps  :roll:.

Hi, I've been practicing this Sahaj meditation for a few years, and indeed it's really cool. (Physically, as a cool breeze, too.)

It was a very pleasant surprise, darkheaven, to find another Romanian here and also someone else who mentions the Sahaj technique.  :)

You can try this, too http://sahajayoga.ca/Meditation/ , it's from a Canadian site.

But you can also go to meditation meetings, which are free. In Romania you find centers in many towns. Also, in the link given by darkheaven, there is one section, 'Centers near you', where you find sites of many countries.

Yothu, the yogis from Vienna are very nice, I met some of them last summer, we had an art camp, and a few of them came, too. Very profound and caring for other people's needs.

Ok, nice to talk to you, wish you lots of good luck!

Oh, and darkheaven, you wrote:

Quote from: darkheavenok...

i've done this again, correct this time...i could't finish it i stopped cause it was way over myhead...

2 much energy...i'll try it again maybe 2day maybe 2morrow...one of this days

That's the point, if it was over your head you have done it  :) , even if you did not finish the exercise. That exercise is only a manner of leading your attention towards a subtler reality, it can be done more easily, too, just by keeping the hands towards the photograph. For many people (with children, always) it works as simple as this.

Welcome to Spiritual Evolution! / Hello!

Hello, Darkheaven, nice to meet another Romanian here  :lol: !

About depression... hm shall I say that I would have recognize where you are from only from your description  :wink: ?
It sounds in a way soooo familiar... No offense  :roll: .

For the others, who might not be acquainted to what I am saying  :lol: , this could be called depression, but it's also a particular taste for living beyond duality, we experience here. It sounds like too much, mostly we are not aware of this, but still, it is in the air here. Like not being attracted by death, but playing in it's presence up and now, not interested in it (please, we are not morbid creatures), but using it as a reminder that this life is not as real as it may seem. It's even in the folk culture...

And this:
Quote from: darkheavenif i would have been depressed i wouldn't say that i'm dead...hell, when i am depressed i fell so alive much more alive then when i feel happy, why? cause i have to taste all life in all forms...pain, fear, love, hate

if a live in a denial, not my style, if there is a denial at a subtle level could be...

I had a similar experience, just before getting involved into yoga meditation  :lol: , I feel that what you describe here the dissolution of the ego. Does it make sense? If we are not this body, not these emotions, not these thoughts (which are all manifestation forms of the lower self), well when we get prepared to go beyond these, this can be experienced as a form of death. Ego is dying, the self comes forth  :) . It can be scary or bring forth depressions, until one is not entirely aware of what is happening. But in the same time one also experience a deeper sense of satisfaction and safety.
For me it was feeling like loosing ground and experiencing a strange, incredible balance, simultaneously. Like being torn apart and still stronger then ever. I suppose this is the Self: not supported, because it is its own support.
If one can maintain this state of non duality, the spiritual growth is so rapid!

All the best to all!

Hey, darkheaven, where are you from? If you are from Bucharest, too, there is a concert some yogi friends of mine a giving, you are most welcome.  :)  Music and tee and Indian cakes. You'll cheer up a bit.

Nice avatar, Kevin  :lol:

Reading this book has been a powerful experience to me. I believe it's not just imagination, but she really was there.

I've seen in other threads that the question rises, whether AP are are in a contradiction to Christian faith or they are not. Analyzing the way this book has been conceived might solve some such issues, on my opinion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of Hindus' main Scriptures, the 'Bhagavad Gita' ('The Song of Lord') has been written in a similar way: a saint could see and listen through his visionary powers the discussion going on between Lord Krishna and the hero Arjuna. (The two were on a battlefield, in a very tense situation :? , so the only solution for humans to receive the precious message of that conversation, who deeply transformed Arjuna and change the history, was that someone else could witness this though a vision/meditation.) The respect people have for meditation in India allowed this book to be considered legitimate, even written in this way.

As many of us prepare themselves for Easter, I though of posting here the link to a book I found very inspiring and which has a particular effect upon myself:

"The Dolorous (Sorrowful) Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, From the Meditations of Anne Catherine Emmerich".

It is the same book which inspired Mel Gibson in his last movie, "The Passion of the Christ".

From the introduction:
...Anne Catherine Emmerich was an Augustinian nun  who lived between 1774 to 1824.  During her life, God gave her extensive visions of the past, the present and the future.  Many theologians believe that she received from God more visions than any other saint.  "The Sorrowful (Dolorous) Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ" are the visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich concerning the horrific sufferings our Dear Lord Jesus Christ suffered in his work to save mankind. They are incredibly, highly detailed and descriptive,  revealing to us more information about the Life of Jesus Christ besides what we read of Him in the Bible...

I'll quote here from chapter describing the vision of Christ Resurrection:


QuoteCHAPTER LXIII

The Resurrection of Our Lord


   I BEHELD the soul of our Lord between two angels, who were in the attire of warriors: it was bright, luminous, and resplendent as the sun at midday; it penetrated the rock, touched the sacred body, passed into it, and the two were instantaneously united, and became as one. I then saw the limbs move, and the body of our Lord, being reunited to his soul and to his divinity, rise and shake off the winding-sheet: the whole of the cave was illuminated and lightsome.

   At the same moment I saw a frightful monster burst from the earth underneath the sepulchre. It had the tail of a serpent, and it raised its dragon head proudly as if desirous of attacking Jesus; and had likewise, if I remember correctly, a human head. But our Lord held in his hand a white staff, to which was appended a large banner; and he placed his foot on the head of the dragon, and struck its tail three times with his staff, after which the monster disappeared. I had had this same vision many times before the Resurrection, and I saw just such a monster, appearing to endeavour to hide itself, at the time of the conception of our Lord: it greatly resembled the serpent which tempted our first parents in Paradise, only it was more horrible. I thought that this vision had reference to the prophetic words, that ‘by the seed of the woman the head of the serpent should be crushed,’ and that the whole was intended to demonstrate the victory of our Lord over death, for at the same moment that I saw him crush the head of the monster, the tomb likewise vanished from my sight.

   I then saw the glorified body of our Lord rise up, and it passed through the hard rock as easily as if the latter had been formed of some ductile substance. The earth shook, and an angel in the garb of a warrior descended from Heaven with the speed of lightning, entered the tomb, lifted the stone, placed it on the right side, and  seated himself upon it. At this tremendous sight the soldiers fell to the ground, and remained there apparently lifeless. When Cassius saw the bright light which illuminated the tomb, he approached the place where the sacred body had been placed, looked at and touched the linen clothes in which it had been wrapped, and left the sepulchre, intending to go and inform Pilate of all that had happened. However, he tarried a short time to watch the progress of events; for although he had felt the earth­quake, seen the angel move the stone, and looked at the empty tomb, yet he had not seen Jesus.

   At the very moment in which the angel entered the sepulchre and the earth quaked, I saw our Lord appear to his holy Mother on Calvary. His body was beautiful and lightsome, and its beauty was that of a celestial being. He was clothed in a large mantle, which at one moment 1ooked dazzlingly white, as it floated through the air, waving to and fro with every breath of wind, and the next reflected a thousand brilliant colours as the sunbeams passed over it. His large open wounds shone brightly, and could be seen from a great distance: the wounds in his hands were so large that a finger might be put into them without difficulty; and rays of light proceeded from them, diverging in the direction of his fingers. The souls of the patriarchs bowed down before the Mother of our Saviour, and Jesus spoke to her concerning his Resurrection, telling her many things which I have forgotten. He showed her his wounds; and Mary prostrated to kiss his sacred feet; but he took her hand, raised her, and disappeared.

   When I was at some distance from the sepulchre I saw fresh lights burning there, and I likewise beheld a large luminous spot in the sky immediately over Jerusalem.

It's the Self!
Check on 'philosopher stone' and 'Jung'.
QuoteA later account (this is taken from Jung's Alchemical Studies) says: "And as man is composed of the four elements, so also is the stone, and so it is [dug] out of man, and you are its ore, namely by working; and from you it is extracted, namely by division; and in you it remains inseparably, namely through science." Also, "The whole of nature converges in man as in a centre, and one participates in the other, and man has not unjustly concluded that the material of the philosophical stone may be found everywhere."
Here you have some other links:

http://www.thezodiac.com/alchemy.htm
http://www.tearsofllorona.com/jungdefs.html
QuotePhilosopher's Stone/Lapis Philosophorum: Also known as the ultima materia, aqua permanens (=its libido aspect), rubedo tinctura, filius macrocosmi or philosophorum, quinta essentia, panacea, medicina catholica, rotundrum, elixir vitae, lapis exilis (stone of no worth), everlasting food): the Philosopher's Stone, prized goal of alchemy. According to legend, the Stone, a freed form of the spirit of Mercurius trapped within the prima materia or initially unprocessed raw material, grants immortality, heals all disease, and transforms base metals into gold. Jung saw it as a Self symbol--one compensating Christ--and the goal of individuation.

Quote from: karnautrahlSince it's relevant can anyone explain why my kundalini yoga session last night-and last weeks session-causes me to need more than 5 pints of water during the day...

Hi, Karnautrahl!

You follow, probably, a practice which heats your right energy channel, especially the liver. That's why you feel like drinking so much water. Hata yoga (asana practice) can have such an effect. Or are you meditating on the 'inner fire' or something similar? I don't know, it shouldn't work like this, Kundalini is beyond elements (beyond fire, too), so she will balance and sooth the thirst (even the spiritual thirst hehehe  :) ). If you explaind a bit what the technique is, I could try to give a better answer, or ask a bit around. You can sent me  a private message, if you want, I'm curious about this techniques.
I'm also practice Kundalini Yoga (Sahaja Yoga), but never got such symptoms.

Oh, sometimes I feel like eating more, especially when meditating to enhance the spiritual level of the people around, to purify: one burns then energy and need proteins  :wink: ; otherwise, during a nice meditation day, a hardly need to eat or drink.
So, about the thirst: either you are clearing the liver and the right energy channel of the people around or the technique you are using is heating the liver.  

All the best!

Hello!

Nice, you all see that!
And you see them all the time when you are looking up to the sky?

As far as I know the bright light spots are divine energy, or Grace.
And the 'strings or blacker shadows' are negativities.

The bright particles can also be seen as rain fall, when this energy is very intense in a particular place or time. They look like a shower, I've seen that sometimes, it's so nice!
One can ask the question if this is true, when seeing that, if this energy is also conscience. One will receive an answer: either a particular pleasant feeling inside, or they intensify... there is a change.

I remember someone trying hard to make me see this, one summer day, lol.

Hello everyone!

Redcatherine, the information you have posted is a bit mixed, actually Ida (the left energy channel) is the moon / feminine / Yin channel  and Pingala (the right) is the sun / masculine / Yang channel: they are complementary, so sun and moon. And the third channel in along the spine and in the synthesis of the left and right, the evolutionary path. Kundalini rises through Sushumna. Ida is blue (black when is imbalanced), Pingala yellow (red when it becomes hot). Pingala is white or transparent :) .

But the complementary Ida and Pingala are not father and mother. Actually the entire subtle system is the play of the Mother, which creates the universes, whereas the Father is the witness. The purpose of creation is that the Mother energy returns to the Father conscience and they become one again, as they were before the reason for creation appeared.
Of course, the Mother and the Father are reflected in different chakras, at different energy-conscience levels, but the three channels (Ida, Pingala, Sushumna) are the three aspects of the Mother/Goddess.
That is why Buddha has spoken about Matreya, the Mother which unites within herself the three mothers (Ma + trey) and is beyond them, the granter of self realisation. She is beyond illusion (illusion is created by the three component aspects) and, through Self realisation, she unites the consciousness and leads it to the Father. This final point is called as God's realisation.

I hope it's not confusing, it's quite logical, actually.

Karnautrahl, I was asking myself which type of Kundalini Yoga are you practicing?  :wink: You have mentioned it a few times and i got the feeling that it worked for you...  :) , it seems to be strong and nice, isn't it?

Tyciol,
My respects, as usual!  :)

Wish you all some nice days!

So, not only can he fly and visit people from other continents, but he can do such a 'terrible' thing like learning German... :lol:  :lol:

(No offense for any German native speaker  :) , I studied German myself and H. Hesse kind of saved my life once lol.)

Nice dream, Telos!
And I'm so curious about that old man in  the book shop, could you describe him a bit?

About your mother... It happens to me sometimes that my parents appear in my dreams, but I feel that they are not actually my parents as persons, but sort of archetypal ones. Like... maybe it's related to the degree we are able to dive in the unconscious: if we are still at the level of the personal unconscious, these characters appear like our parents, and if our attention shifts more towards the collective unconscious, they turn into collective representation, divine persons etc.
Anyway for me they are archetypal representations. An argument for this is that my relation with them is very harmonious, they seem to be free from any desire for themselves or conflict, they are just for me, to teach and support.
What do you think, can it be a similar situation?
Like the mother in your dream seems to teach you about a subtle understanding of learning (finally an allied against the limiting school system  8) ?), that the book knowledge is only a step, but it is time to go over it and acquire another form of understanding. And here I was wondering whether this is a message for yourself or the announcement of a global transformation in the educational system :?: .

And the lovely dog is for me a form that your inner energy and strength took. Also, it's nice, you rose that energy above your head, or at least at the head level, so you did it!  :)

The old man seem to be sort of a Guide archetype, teaching you on an energy exchange basis. It seems that he, together with your mother, have activated a deeper hearing perception of yours. (Of course, it's not about hearing, but understanding, grasping.)

But the lottery numbers  :? / :lol: ... still I don't know what they are. And I don't' believe too much in this theory, that what we practice being awake influence the dreams, so there is no particular meaning. The so-called real world and the dream perspective are sides of the same psychic reality, so there must be a meaning. Any idea?

Nice dream!
#16
hehehe, even this SpellingCow has understood it, it wanted to replace 'autists' by 'artists'... :D

Heter, to warn you  :?  :D , even after you'll have found yourself and a meaning of life and inner satisfaction (and this will happen :) ), there will be a lot of people wanting to change you. It happened to me: I've fantasized so often in my childhood about suicide, because I had been taught that there is no God (one of the benefits of a communist society), so I could see no meaning in life, no purpose. OK, I had my hobbies and I was learning well, but I could not live for getting good marks. It was a sort of autism, though I cannot compare myself with other people regarding the spiritual capacities. So, during these years of permanent depression, no one gave my the smallest advice about psychic comfort, spirituality, insight etc. They all seemed not to see anything, though they are educated people, what to say...? (Because people can sense the 'danger' and avoid getting into questions they cannot solve.) But after I have found a clear balance, my questions have been answered and I started appreciating my life... You see, then a lot of advices started pouring about me, all very 'wise' and 'sensible'. And they were all very concerned. Sometimes I also feel that spirituality can be more disregarded that death, though death is also a great taboo lol.

Oh, and I've always considered that I was looking terrible, though now I see this as a joke. And most of the people around me were not thinking the same. But, when you are not comfortable with your life experiences, you start hating the body. I feel it is like (subconsciously) you feel that the matter is not allowing the spirit or the subtler part of your being to manifest, but as long as you are not aware of means to enlighten this body and to make it the instrument of the spirit, than you feel that it is hindering you and this creates a great tension inside. Anorexia and other such disorders have this cause, this tension plus some family conflicts, sometimes.

Or we try to get out of the body, having OBEs for instance. this is also a tension, because there are people (of a high spiritual level, indeed, who can travel, on a mind or even physical level, without leaving the body). If we understand that this duality of mind and soul, on one side, and the body, on the other, is a mere illusion, then we don't need to split ourselves? Of course, everyone does what he decides it is best for him/her, but when we reach the final stages of understanding and development, there is no need for duality.

Hey, all the best to anyone, sorry for the long posts, but I really enjoy talking to you here :)

I entirely subscribe to what Beavis said, lol:

Quote from: beavisThats what a schizoid is? Sign me up! I wanna be a schizoid.

And Beavis, I had similar experiences with books as a kid, too.

QuoteI had a book with no page numbers on any of the left pages. I checked 50 pages and paid much attention because I thought it was weird. 2 days later I found that most pages have page numbers, and they're still there now.

I used to read some lines, then get some food or think a bit, and, when coming back, the text was different. It happened a few times. Interesting was that I remember that I had read the lines more then once the first time, so I was quite sure of their meaning lol.
Recently I've heard that this kind of tricks are Angel Gabriel's signs, because he controls matter and the elements, also, creates links between the unconscious and the conscious mind (he is the messenger  :wink: ), also they are signals that what we call reality is not the most stable and 'real' manifestation of the collective being. So, sort of... "You are in a cage, have you considered this possibility? Try to see the real. It will be more fun!"

Heter, you have received a lot of good answers, and see that most of the people who are sending replies to you are very much sympathizing with you, and also, they do not consider you a medical case  :) . Also, these people (if you check their other messages or the level of this forum as a whole) are good and well educated people, who have as well interests in spirituality and the subtle psychic dimension as normal lives and professions. So, compared to what your colleagues say (and they are confused 15 year old kids, too  8) ), which company and thought would you appreciate more? (Oh, please... be nice and say that ours  :wink: !!!)

And, has anyone seen K-PAX? I loved it! Also, it shows that patients are not always what they are labeled for and that psychiatrist have a good chance, if initiated by the proper person (in this case an alien lol).

(Atlanta, sorry for this humor, I agree that there are very good psychiatrists, but also a lot of fraud and that many people are being terribly mislead). Actually I have showed this thread to some friends yesterday (persons both meditative and with a usual social life) and they also agreed. One is preparing to become a Jungian analyst. So...

Heter, you should gather your strength, face your-self (not the others, they are not that important) and get over it. Some martial arts are good, I would suggest Aikido, because it emphasizes the peace and the inner insight, not the aggressiveness. Or try other balancing stuff, meditation (The Body disorder you mentioned is psycho-somatic... , as many other symptoms the modern people suffer of, so a proper inner balancing is more effective then medication), or arts... I don't know, something that you would enjoy.

There are some theories today, and I agree to them, that there are more and more children being born with special spiritual abilities, which are over the 'normal' level of conscience, inborn spiritual little people so to say, which are diagnosed as autists, because they are not too interested in the usual way of reacting. Unusual to autists, they would also react to someone else's pain or suffering and try to bring comfort. I have met many such children, some from yogi families some from usual, hardly religious families, so I totally agree. How is that 4 year old children insist to go more often to the church or fast, though nobody in the family in interested in these?? :wink: And I'm not talking about bending tea spoons with the thought or levitating (I've never seen such things), but about a high interest in spirituality and a definite capacity to balance the people in the environment.

Telos, I would agree here also with the creating reality idea, as this kind of people change the society.

So a link I know is http://www.thecrystalchildren.com/
Read a bit and write to them, Heter, and ask the same question. You'll see that they will laugh at these labels and restrictions and will like you immediately.

I would like to stabilize and enjoy collectively this state of fusion into love and consciousness I'm feeling sometimes when I meditate or in the company of a few persons. If this becomes collective (and it will be, finally!)... wow. There will be nothing else to desire.

And I'd like to see more people enjoying this absolute safety which is also the greatest challenge.

Yes, Telos, you have brought many times insightful things to the table, which I enjoyed and from which I did learn a lot about perception and reality.  

That's why I say that it's more that this :wink: . Which you know, anyway!

Quote from: TelosIf I hadn't known that St. Michael was such a phony, I would've blithely continued praying to him.

Sorry, Telos, but if you can Astral Project, why don't you go and see for your self if this is really Archangel Michael speaking there or just a phony fellow with an identity problem. (It might be more interesting then drinking imaginary bear with some invented characters. Don't be upset with me, I enjoyed reading about that dream, too.  :wink: )

And if it is really him, maybe he speaks like this because the people receiving his message are not yet able to bear a more subtle or genuine form of his. He might be also a bit frustrated (if angels get frustrated, I don't know :? ) of being forced to refrain like this.

But you could make a trip and face him in his chariot of fire and with his sword in his hand, I'm sure it's not a problem for you lol.

For me this would be a bit too much   :shock: , but the vibrations I get from that message were quite OK. A fake does not have such vibrations, it would feel like disgusting stuff.

Just an opinion.  :roll:

But why don't you all just try to feel it!?  :wink:

Hey, Tyciol, what about you? Or you are not Catholic enough for this??

Quote from: Qaz_AzaranYou know, I never worry about things like that. Worry just makes it more likely you'll attract negative attention. And if some nasty spirit does come along, I'll just do what I normally do and eat it.

Hmm... lol, but how big can they be? :lol: I suppose you can't eat the very big ones!
A good stomach you have!

Christian, I was just looking for that post of yours about the light entity (Michael?) and the 'I am Hum' sound. I read it in the morning but I could not give a reply, and now I cannot find it. It's very, very interesting...

'Hum' does mean 'I am' in Sanskrit, and it is also a mantra used to clear the left energy channel, actually it's upper termination, the subtle support of the right brain hemisphere (subconscious). It's the sound Kundalini produces when activating that area of the subtle body. Our right hemisphere catches negativities when we forget who we really are, which is the Spirit/Self. So its healing mantra and true nature is HUM, 'I am', which implies 'I am the Spirit', but it's beyond definitions, so just 'I am'.
The mantra for the left brain hemisphere (right parasympathetic) is 'Ksham', 'I forgive', also implying surrender to God, or to the higher self.

So, one can use this two mantras to clear and enlighten the chakra which is in the middle of the brain, Agnya.

It happens to me, too, to fell like instinctively speaking this 'hum', when I feel left channel (emotional, lethargy, dirt) negativity.

Hum is also the sound the goddess Durga (also called Kali, Ambika) utters on the battlefield, one of her weapons. She is the archetype of the protective mother, Hindus describe her as a terrible goddess or shakti (energy of God), incarnated to destroy the demons who were torturing the gods and the humans. She is eating the 'nasty' fellows sometimes lol, so to say, Qaz_Azaran hahaha.

In 'Devi Mahatmyam' the 'hum' sound is mentioned, I found it at http://sdbbs.tripod.com/devi.html :

QuoteChapter 6
12-13. Thus told, the asura (demon) Dhumralocana rushed towards her and thereupon Ambika reduced him to ashes with a mere heave of the sound 'hum'

Chapter 8
10. Kali, expanding her mouth wide and filling the quarters with the sound (hum ) overwhelmed the noises of her bow-string, lion and bell by her terrific roars.

Ambika or Ambe is also the name given to Kundalini, which Indian understand as the projection of the goddess/shakti (energy of God) within man. They sing 'raise Ambe and given me the self realization', in old songs. And describe how all the gods are worshiping her. It's like all the archetypes (divine figures projected in each chakra) have to be awakened by Kundalini, are dependent upon her.  :wink:

Another interesting thing is that the Archangel Michael also governs the left parasympathetic, the right brain, so he is related to the HUM sound. He is also a battlefield angel, sometime, I've seen him in many paintings depicted like this.
Gabriel governs the right channel, left brain. In religious paintings both of them appear to one side and the other of Christ, who is in the middle.

Also, left channel is the desire, right is the attention, intellect. The protective mother archetype is also related to the left energy channel and to the central heart chakra, which is responsible for our psychic confidence and physical endurance. There is also the timus, which produces the anti-bodies, which kill/eat lol the viruses and stuff.

So...Wow!

If you have some more dreams like this, please, share them with us, they are really inspiring. And they are a clear sign of Kundalini awakening and reaching the top of the head, if instinctively, without having these informations, you perceive them like this, in the correct relations.  :)

Ah, and another thing, this mother energy is protecting you from negativity, will never do any harm to you, you are her main protection objective and she's a perfect warrior. :wink:

Thanks and I hope it helps. If I find the right thread, I'll post it there, but now I don't seem to be able to.

Greetings to everyone of you!

Quote from: MrBurgoMohamed is not responsible for the Koran.
It was written by a group of Jews as they refused to accept Jesus as The Messiah.

Indeed, Mohamed is not, he did not even know how to write, he did not need it, lol,  to raise the conscience of the people around him! It was a fellow (I don't remember his name right now, I'll check, I think it's Abu Bakr, Mohamed father-in-law), and who is also responsible for Killing Ali, Mohamed son-in-law and Ali's two sons. Mohamed daughter Fatima dies out of grief. Mohamed's desire was that Ali takes over the leadership after his death. This fellow Abu Bakr distorted very much the Islam and he founded the Suni movement. Ali's followers are the Shia ('Shia' means 'family'). I'm not much aware about the reality of Islam, so I don't know all their groups and who is closer to truth, so that I can be on anybody's side. Anyway, as far as I know, Mohamed predicted the exact number of groups the Islam will fall into (I've read that today there are exactly the number he predicted), and also said that only one will be right.

Abu Bakr wrote the Koran, as well as the text selection for the Bible has been made by the group of organizers who have destroyed the more genuine Christian, the Gnostics. Which does not imply that the two are not in great part Holy Scriptures.

Sorry, Christian, if I know that you have served in the army, I wouldn't have spoken so directly. I mainly wanted to say that many times there are two sides of a situation.

Anyway,  :D when I was talking about 'warrior angels', I mainly had in mind Archangel Michael!  :D  :wink:
I think you know what I mean!

Have a nice day, you all

LittleNinja, my English (or my expression :? ) is not always so good.

What I wanted to say is that is it actually the same: meditation is needed, but can be replaces by a life lead in awareness, as you describe it, the same it is with the awakening of Kundalini, a practice is generally needed indeed and a good spiritual master, but the awakening can be a very spontaneous happening and it is not necessary that it takes long. It is the same, that's what I meant.

About how long does it take too feel it... If someone practices in a meditation center, it is much easier that alone. Because the energy is reflected by our hearts, so it is like love sharing, when you are on your own, you cannot feel to much. Awareness is also the same: if I read a book, I can understand it better if I have the chance to find somebody interested in it, to discuss about it. It also has the advantage that in a center there are people who can show how to clean and awaken the chakras, so it's much easier to improve. This is the best advice I can give!
And, Kevin, meditate together with your wife, if while doing energy work for her makes you feel it better.

For me it took some time to clearly feel vibrations on a physical level, because I had some throat chakra problems, but I felt it very much on the psychic level (peaceful control upon myself, independence, increased conscience, much more energy and a SENSE OF MEANING of life, because this is the part I had always been missing the most, even as a child). I believe that you feel it at that level of your being your subtle attention is more focused on. For instance, if you meditate on the heart, directing Kundalini to this area, the sense of inner unity will gradually install, and this is what you may feel. A nice sensation of open heart can also appear, or something like a cool breeze in the heart, but important is the sense of unity, if this is what you ask for.
:wink:

Hey, good luck everybody!

I just found this explanation this morning:

QuoteEXPOSITION OF THE SACRED SYLLABLE OM

Source: Markandeya Purana Chapter 42

Dattatreya spoke:

The Yogi who lives thus, rightly busied in religious devotion, cannot be turned away even by hundreds of other lives. And when he has beheld the Supreme Soul, visible, existing in all
forms, whose feet and head and neck the universe composes, the Lord and Creator of this universe, let him in order to attain there to utter the one mighty and holy syllable OM! Let it be his
study as he listens to its true form.

A and U and M are its three letters; these are its three
instants; they are characterised by goodness, passion and ignorance. And another, a half instant, which has its seat on the top (of the syllable, of the head) is without quality and can
be understood by Yogis only. It is called gandhari, as it is to be uttered in the gandhara note (Ga). Being pronounced it reaches the head and it conveys the feeling of ants moving
(over the body, on the top of the head).

AS the syllable OM being pronounced reaches the head, the Yogi who is lost in meditation of OM should become united with Brahma, the Supreme Soul. Life is his bow, the soul is his arrow, Brahma is the target sublime. It is to be pierced by the heedful man; he should be united with Brahma, as the arrow becomes embedded in the target.

The syllable OM, consisting of three and a half instants, should be known in its true sense as the three Vedas " the Rig, Sama and Yajus" the three worlds, the three fires, and the three deities Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva. And the Yogi who is absorbed in religious meditation thereon, may obtain extinction therein.

Moreover the letter A is designated the Bhur-loka (Earth), and the letter U the Bhuvah-loka (Sky) and the letter M with its nasal mark is decided to be the Swah-loka (Heaven). Now the first instant is called the discrete (manifest) the second the indiscrete, and the third instant is the intellectual faculty (consciousness, attention); the half instant is the highest abode (final emancipation from existence). In this very order must these stages of religious meditation be known. By uttering the word OM everything both existent and non-existent may be grasped. Now the first instant is short the second is long (two instants) and the third is prolated (three instants) and the half instant is not cognisant to speech.

Such is this word. Brahma is designated the Supreme OM. The man who truly understands it and further meditates on it, escaping the circle of mundane existence casts off the three-fold bonds, and gains sublime extinction in Brahma, the Supreme Soul. And he who is bound with the unconsumed results of his actions, after experiencing death through ill omens, and recollecting it at the time of his departure, attains to a yogi's condition again. Hence by means of imperfect religious devotion, or again by perfected religious devotion are always to be known the ill omens‚ so that he does not sink into despondency at the time of his departure.
End of chapter 42.

'Yogi' is referred here not as person who practice a yogic meditation technique, but the one who has attained/stabilized the state of yoga (union with the divine/Brahma) - the equivalent of the Christian 'unio mistica'. So it defines an inner happening, not the adhesion to one (of the many yogic) tradition(s).
