Rick, for me disassociating from body consciousness is a problem. I can't
do this and feel whole or happy. In fact, I can't do this and feel! Rather
I finish up having thoughts that mascarade as feelings. Over the years since
my Kundalini rose I have come to appreciate my body more and more. I often
watch it and am amazed at it's simple, effective, elegance. I also think
that it is through our personal body that we connect into the wisdom of the
larger cosmic body. Even before my K rose and I was about to give birth to
my daughter, I walked out the front door to go to the hospital, and started
to panic. The wisdom of my body kicked in and I knew it knew what to do
even if I didn't feel up to the task. I knew all I had to do was trust it.
I giggled and walked to the car. Three hours later my beautiful daughter
took her first breath. My "knowing" comes to me through my body.

Yet, this knowing has often been blocked. I think that as a species we
human's have had a lot of difficulty accepting our animal nature. We are
both fascinated and repelled by our animal functions and it is this that
blocks up our system and removes us from our birthright of access to
universal wisdom. This attitude to the natural is now deeply embedded in
the collective human psyche and it takes some working through for most of
us. One of the reason's that I chose this list to join was Mystress
Angelique Serpent. I admire the way that she has worked through these
inhibitary blocks of our mind and is so up front about them. I think that
this is a big part of the primal split in our psyche and it makes our body,
and particularly our sexual nature into the Devil. Before Adam and Eve ate
the apple from the tree of knowledge, the tree of good and evil, they didn't
realise that they were different. They had just been enjoying the Garden of
Eden. After their bite they became self aware and found fig leaves to
"cover their shame."

The history of humanity is filled with covering our shame and we have a
basement that is chock filled with it. Jung postulated a collective and a
personal unconscious as well as a conscious area of the human psyche. The
ego for him was the point of awareness that was the centre of this conscious
area whose contents are always available to the ego. This is the place
where we store the idea or map of who we are. In a spiritual crises the
contents of the personal unconscious starts to bubble up into consciousness
and the ego is often overwhelmed. The personal unconscious is like a band
of information pertaining to this life that surrounds our conscious area and
forms a barrier to the free flow of the collective unconscious. This is
imformation that we have repressed or forgotten It has the force and energy
of the archetypes of the collective unconscious behind it and it uses this
force to penetrate consciousness. In our efforts to become spiritual we
have segregated and dissasociated from our animal nature and other naturally
human experiences and it now presents as the shadow. The shadow and
anima/animus is the map of who we think we are not. I believe that unless
we confront and humbly accept these aspects of ourselves we remain in
bondage to them. Then we project this part of ourselves onto others in
order to pretend we are superior. Appreciating the untamed, amoral and
natural body helps to integrate it into our totality. We are either all
things or no thing.

All of this happens quite naturally and often you only realise this in
hindsight. At the moment you are internally focused. This won't always be
the case. With Kundalini you are tapping into incredible resourses that are
absolutely trustworthy.

Warmest regards,
Julie.
