What the hell...? I spotted this message and was very tempted to respond
to it immediately. I live in the States, and you can't get a teacher
around here to save your life. If you do, you're very, very lucky.
Trying to find a teacher isn't easy. Often enough people who know this
stuff won't go around publicizing that they do, and you just can't walk up
to someone and say, "Teach me." It just doesn't work that way. I've
*never* had a teacher, at least not a private one, save my classes here at
IC. I am fortunate to live in a major Buddhist center, and they do offer
classes at the monastery, which I am considering taking.
Receiving the necessary permission to, say, perform Buddhist tantra is a
good one. I hear that they do offer ceremonies occasionally to give the
proper blessing or whatnot, but never know how to ask or how to go about
approaching such a topic around here.
Living in the States is *not* easy. There may be many things here, but
it's a big country and getting to these places, these people, not to
mention trying to establish a relationship with someone who doesn't think
that you're one of those messed-up New Agers is extremely difficult.
Those who learn these great sex techniques and think they're practicing
"Tantra" and charge big bucks from people to learn what they supposedly
know give a bad rep. They refer to it as teaching false dharma.
Get a teacher? I wish. That's been my dream for the past several years.
However, I seem to be doomed to be a Lone Wolf with info restricted to my
classes as a religion minor, books, and hopefully some classes at Namgyal,
and the last is at best right now....

I'm glad someone's mentioned Swedenborg as i had a very interesting
experience when i happened to start looking into his work in the search
for western traditions that confirmed my own shakti experiences...i
visited the swedenborg society building in central London and as i
walked towards it there was an incredible amount of light emanating from
the building and well, it was a bit like visiting heaven as the books on
display were emanating light as well and i just sent straight through a
couple of them and well,, it confirmed everything i wanted to know and
more.
the only other time i've seen a similar light of this quality (pure
white, very subtle) emanating from a building was when walking past the
Quaker centre on Euston Road in central London - i was passing it, but
when i saw the light, i turned in immediately to check out what was
happening and again, found lots of books emanating subtle light and
pointing me to the relevant pages for my own education and confirmation
of what had been very subtle and intuitive knowledge up until then.
could this particular form of the light be some kind of Christian
related phenomenon ? or maybe some yogis have seen light of this nature
from buildings concerned with other traditions...or perhaps i was just
going through a mystical Christian phase as i have been to a Quaker
school and also visited Christian pilgrimage sites in England and France
and Italy, especially the churches of St Francis and St Clare. ? who
knows......any answers out there in cyberspace ? or just related
experiences would be welcome....

Wanna send some energy but dunno how?
OK, here is super easy method #29. Outside Assistance.
1. Get well grounded, so you can feel the universal energy flowing
through you.
2. Hold out your hands as if you are holding a basketball.
3. Use the current of energy going from your right hand to your left, and
siphon off some of the current to create an energy basketball.
(like, the space between your hands is the flament of a light bulb, the
energy coming
thru the wires..arms...makes it glow.)
4. Take some care in creating the ball, give it emotional characteristics
(love), colors (blue, gold, glowing white, pink, K. red-gold flames) you
can embed images or memories in it, imagine them flowing from your mind
down the r. hand to the ball. Use mostly heart chakra enengy but you may
find it being drawn from other chakras as well.
If visual is hard, imagine feeling it, or give it a sound, the crescendo
at the end of "A day in the life" by the Beatles is a good sound for
charging a ball (and the even tone at the end is the battery coming out of
he charger. Static hum of enclosed energy.)
5. When the ball is as clearly imaged and fully charged as you can make
it, (the only limitations on the amount of energy the ball can hold are the
ones you give to it) then imagine it disconnecting from the energy circuit
of your hands like a battery taken out of the charger when it's done. Keep
holding it or float it out in front of you.
6. Call upon your Guardian angels, and very nicely ask one of them to
deliver the ball to the one for whom it is intended at the best possible
time. They will. They have been hanging around hoping you would ask them
for help with stuff like this. Don't worry if you can't feel them or hear
an answer. The ball will likely vanish, tho.
I also usually ask the Angels to make any adjustments they feel the ball
needs, to be in the highest possible good for the recipient.
Angels transcend time and space, so they don't have to leave guarding you
to make the delivery.
7. You are done. Dust off your hands to shake off any stuck energy, and
turn your mind to other things. Trust that it worked. You have given clear
intent to your unconscous, that is the main thing, really.
That is one way....do you have any ways to share?
Blessings, Angelique.

First, stop being afraid.
Your fear is all you have to worry about.
Next. relax into the sensations, focus on them, and enjoy them.
The pilgrims might tell you to pray to God to give you strength to endure.
Here in the circus we say, "cool ! a new funhouse has opened, check it out!"
Knowing that tho the funhouse may have scray moments, it cannot hurt you,
it is not real, but it is how you choose to react to the funhouse that
determines your emotional experience of it.
Probably in history some folks might have died of heart attack in the
funhouse, but that is because they took the cardboard spooks far too
seriously.
You are an eternal limitless being that cannot ever really be hurt.
Focus on Love and trust that you are being guided by Goddess K. inside you
to the path that is uniquely best for you.
Blessings, Blissing, Angelique.

...
really! I first heard this hymn to the Goddess when I was 12 years old,
I didnt realize then quite why it grabbed me, other than the catchy
tune, but only now, 28 years later, do I realize that it was
a message from Goddess, channeled through the Monkees,
talking to my deepest unconscious and planting a seed.
Sounds funny, and it is!
So here it is, the Monkee's hymn to the Goddess, aka 'I'm a Believer':
"I thought Love was only true in fairy tales,
Meant for someone else but not for me,
But Love was out to get me,
doo doo doo doo doo
That's the way it seemed
doo doo doo doo doo
Disappointment haunted all my dreams...
THEN I SAW HER FACE!
Now I'm a Believer!
Without a trace,
Of doubt in my mind.
I'm in Love!
Oh, I'm a Believer,
I couldn't leave her if I tried."

Sometimes our conciencness need to be reminded of particular states of mind.
Perhaps you were burning up old emotional Karma through setting fire to a
big bundle of it, or perhaps your being needed to be reminded of something.
What strikes me isn't the drugs or imagery, but of the negative emotional
state. We can experience all types of emotions, and perhaps you need to
remember all the states of emotion, or perhaps you need to come to grips with
negative emotions on a deeper level. I recently had a dream where I was play
fighting with a femail, we could read eachothers minds and were playfighting
while vividly imagining that we were monster/warriors, after very intense
play combat, we suddenly embraced and hugged for a long time. I woke up
still feeling the emotions that you get when you first hug the person you
know you love, and know they love you back. Still trying to figue out what
it really means, actually I guess I'm just glad I had it and hope I will
learn what I should on a subconcious level. Perhaps that's what you should
do too. Never fear yourself, you will never do yourself real harm, although
you may teach yourself using hard lessons. Trust in yourself, your reality,
and your concept of God, they are all interlinked. Another note on void, I
had a death dream about a year ago where I died and found myself as a
floating, bodyless conciousness in a completely black void. I thought that
this could be hell for those who fear this, or a heaven for those who can
fantasize in it; the fastest road to Zen, because even if you think, your
still going to come out of it into a void, eventually, without the outside
stimuli, you'll have to stop thinking for longer and longer periods of time
till you reach Zen. A void can hold all that you have experienced in it, If
you can't remeber how long you've been alive, then you've been alive for
eternity, you can imagine anything, when in a void, try to feel good, try to
Imagine heaven, go anywhere, do anything, hell exsists till you get it out of
your system, till there's nothing left to be tourtured, then you'll remember
the smell of flowers in a large field with a deep blue sky and happy white
clouds with the warm sun and swaying trees.

Well, at the most essential level, everything, both acts of love (and
acts of hate), everything is just to the purpose - everything is
somebody's learning process. From my own secondary theology I would ask
what you mean by "acts of love and pleasure" - do you mean anything
motivated from the venusian sphere, so to speak, or do you mean
particular acts - physical sexual acts, sensual acts?
Nature's a bitch. Nature would have me get pregnant from making
love,
which is definitely not my idea of a good time. From my secondary
theological perspective as a vamacarin, nature is an elemental force,
and one studies it carefully, learns to work with it and to consciously
direct it, rather than being spun around on the wheel by it. Actually,
Nature's just us....

Yeah, this is a hard one to talk about, because it's an idea that a lot
of folks would abuse, but there does seem to be a victim/violator
concinnity at a psychic level. This is why what you do is so powerful -
by tapping into particular psychic patterns (i.e. a need to be
punished/enslaved, a need to dominate) and creating a format for them to
be consciously played out in a controlled, safe way, you're actually
abreacting (upping, working out) a lot of karma that if allowed to run
its natural course could very well be rather unpleasant.... This is the
function of ritual...

astral-physical plane. They protect and thus have an analogy to
Swadhistana chackra and they limit thus having analogy to Muladhara
chackra. These two functions together (in One) are seen as the figure of
two interlaced triangle in the Hexagram of many Yantras. When you
balance Ida and Pingala an eletrochemical action occurs on the physical
level that enables you to access chitrini or the Akash of Causal plane.
This allows you to freely move with ease up and down the vibratory scale
of things ( through each chackra which is similar to a step down-step up
transformer. All of this is accomplished and balanced through various
techniques which relate to the approprite Gunas. Thus balancing the
Gunas within the psyche has a somatic effect on the three sheaths which
in turn (if you will) transmute the octave of your perceptions through
the five elements which are related to your five sense and thus you have
what some call awakening the kundalini. Yes, there is much more to the
term Gunas and and practical application as well as understanding-One
could write a book on this alone-and many have-Try Ganesh publications
-Madras India. If all of this sounds even more confusing -good-that
means you are on your way to enlightenment -as if you sufficiently
confuse your brain cells enough-they give up trying to feed you maya
and let you go. (chuckle) Cha Cha Cha(old chicano Mantra
