I said there were two reasons but after re-examining, the second was too
similar to the first. I guess I have only one reason to ask you to
reconsider. But I have one more thing to mention. Although I am young, I
have seen many people, myself included who have walked away from something
problematic at the worst moments. Beyond leaving a sense of incompletion
and unfulfillment within the self, this can give birth to a repetitive
cycle of not taking responsibility for the shit in ones life and in the
world. I'm not suggesting this of you, as I know there is always a time
when one must leave; the decision is entirely personal. If possible it is
better to leave when one is not rejecting but choosing, or rather being led
away.

Anyway, whatever you choose, go with love.

Hello Tohmas Bradley,

Happy birthday, better late than never :-)

You said:
"It's my birthday today, so I'm in a chatty mood! Thank you for
your words the other day. I would certainly like to experience the
energetic transfer you suggested, but we'll have to wait a while until I
can set up things at this end."

No problem, but it's not tranfer of energy, just a resonnace effect.
Energy is infinite, just have to open to it.

   " I like karate, and I'm trying to dredge up the discipline to get up
and train in it every morning before I go to work (if you can help me
with my motivation there I'll be grateful).

When motivation will come from you and not the others, you will have
found your motivation... Perseverance, and one step at the time, push
constantly, but not to hard at one time.

   "The reason I've been so enthusiastic about this is that to
experience the heat flowing through discrete channels in the body in a
systematic fashion, integrated with the breathing, must be a wondrous
experience. I can visualize the flows, but
not yet feel the heat, or feel the heat flowing automatically. "

One thing... heat is the lowest vibration one can feel, instead on just
focussing on feeling the heat, listening more deeply you will find that
already more subtle energy passes where your attention passes. Bring
your mind to listen more, than forcing the energy to change vibration
level so you can feel it more directly. You'll learn faster this way,
and risk less of opening paths of subtle energy that may not be suited
for your body. Listen more don't impose the path the flow must take.

At a certain level we are a bit like magnets, once we get magnetize in a
way, it takes greater energies to demagnetize in another. K is
intelligent, and when it awakes it knows where to go, which path to take
crushing the olds ones.

You said that you still hesitated between Reiki and Chi-Kung. You should
align your martial arts with the choice you will make. From my
experience in kung fu, i know that the posture we take for a long time
open the subtle pathways for energy in a specific way. Chi-kung being a
part of kung-fu, when starting Chi kung after practicing kung-fu for a
while, we become aware very fast of the path that opened "automatically"
in kung fu. I never done Karate, so i can't tell you in what way they
open the sutles path, but being from the same culture as Reiki they must
be a link, you should ask about that.

At the very beginning, when opening those subtle path it's very
important to open the major ones in a way that your body is predisposed
to it. After if you want you can mix them, helping you to find more
deeply, by comparison the true archetypes of nature. But as a said,
mixing is a painful and unstabilizing process for a while.

Archetypes: You should pay attention to them in your exploration, feel
really how you feel the "earth", "sky", "love", and the "chi", life
energy that makes you breath, and moves into you. Don't force things
listen. The more you will really fill those archetypes, mot
intellectualise them, the more you'll be abble to tap into those
energies. Love being the bigguest archetype i have found...

In love Antoine

  It is no lie.. it is true that we are all of Goddess.. The lie, is that
we are less. Like your quote from Nelson Mandela.. it is our magnificence,
which frightens us. The path is of realization of this truth, that we Are
Goddess. Spirit, having a human experience. Is every mantra, affirmation or
prayer a lie?

>On the Path of Truth, we are on the path of honesty and integrity. This is
why I

form of authority or worth - unless it equates with their understanding.

  I expect people will do that with my writing anyway, wthout my having to
tell them to.

  You think folks are sheep, who need to be always reminded to think for
themselves?
  
  Was telling the Geniuses that you are a woman, honesty? How about the pic
of you in the gallery? Is this a true representation of your appearance?
How can you type with claws?? Doesn't your keyboard short out when it gets
wet? ;)

  That is an interesting way to think of realization.. learning to believe
your own publicity, from a spiritual standpoint. Interesting idea, thankyou.

not just term

  Yes, Lobster, O wise one who always speaks truth. I shall do as you
suggest, try it out.. "I am the force behind all manifestation in my own
life.. " Hmmm.. very much like "I attract that which occurs", or
"everything that is outside is inside."

>I realise that your conception of diety includes me. However I have a
Higher Concept of
>Deity. Is this just a question of semantics?

  Perhaps so.. to my perspective, your denial of divinity inside yourself
suggests lack of realization. You would in ego, separate yourself from
Goddess. To my mind, such is impossible illusion.
  Why you choose to believe yourself separate puzzles me, as I see the
light inside you shining even thru your email. I accept that this
perspective is your own free will choice. Cool. Have fun.
  So, I have stopped responding to your mail, except when you address me
directly. Usually, your purpose in writing is an attempt to tear down my
beliefs. Why you seem to find my beliefs so threatening as to need to
attack them whenever they come up, even while insisting I am of no
importance.. is a contradiction within your own self, for you to sort out.

  I suspect, from my experience of similar interactions, it is possible you
are a closet submissive maschochist. Those are usually the only folks who
fix on me in that way, with such issues. I suspect that is why you have a
fixation on humility, tho you do not really write with much humility...
   Thus, you have manifested me and my ideas into your life, coz on some
level you need 'em. I don't expect you to agree with this.. coz you are in
denial!! Tee hee!
  This perspective of you in no way interferes with my perception of you as
Diety.
   Semantics?? To me, one who most values humiliation and suffering, and
seeks it actively, is a submissive maschochist.. yes, that includes lots 'o
christian saints, and tons of holy men in india who stand on one foot
staring at the sun for years.
  I accept that their paths are right for them, or they wouldn't be on them.
  They are perfect expressions of Goddess, too.

>There is however an area of

display of this.

  Uh, slight contradiction here, dude.. you are claiming to have the power
to judge the wisdom, spiritual evolution of another. Thou art God? :D

  Good enough for me!

  Yup. you crack me up.. you seem to think being more polite means adding
:) to your statements.
  If the knowing they will discover is hidden, how can you know if it is
spurious?
  I look forward with relish (and butter sauce) to your next litany of
contradictions.. Blessed be!

  Hiya Ken:
  I went off to the website for the 'Society for Human Sexuality' at the
University of Washington, to find you a reference for an update on your
data. BDSM is no longer officially considered a pathology, or illness, as
of a few years ago.
  That's not really the point, tho, is it?
  
  Before I found that documentation, my curious finger clicked instead on
this essay.. Goddess is generous, with her comfort... I needed to be
reminded.. I am blessed to serve.

  Your poetry does not say HOW to accomplish this purification, eh? Both
Gardnerian witches and Christians used scourging for purification.. Nuns in
cloister, flogging themselves with barbed hooks every night.. won't get
into the "purification' intentions of the Spanish Inquisition... not
consentual!

  Instead, I think.. everything is Goddess, everything is sacred. Look for
the sacredness, seek and ye shall find.
  Thankyou, Ken, for the gift of your fear for me.. for the gift of your
reflex of denial of the rightness of my path.. it has had the result of
clarifying and reaffirming my intent, and really exposing the minefield I
mentioned, so I can see the mines clearly, and proceed with grace.
  Thou art God.. Namaste.. blessings, Mystress.

Starting about 25 years ago, I began a series of spiritual experiences
that changed my perception of the world and life itself. It was an
awakening of my higher Self that lead me searching for answers and truth.
Things began gradually with witnessing my dreams and then awakening
within myself while my body was asleep. I could feel waves of energy,
very warm and comfortable. My experiences were blissful. The
disappointment was when I tried to tell someone the next day and they
didn't understand.
But, the drive to seek answers was strong. I started with Hatha Yogo.
It was my stepping stone. Later, when I experienced the awakened state
again at night, I was awoken by an intense energy focused on my lower
back. It was so overwhelming and strong. I felt uncomfortable, it was
like needles and pins, or vibrating electricity. It started to move up
my spine, and grew stronger. I felt some fear of it as it moved up to
the top of my shoulders. At that moment, I had the desire to get away
from the pain, and at that instant I had that thought I found myself
trying to turn a light on in my bedroom. I could still feel the energy,
but I was not in my body. Then, at that moment, I surrendered myself
to God, and prayed. For a moment, I felt His presence and with my
request, he answered me and the experience was over. I then laid in bed,
in the middle of the night, and I was back to my waking self. I could
hear the early morning birds, and then I pondered the meaning of life...

Thank you for taking the time to read this. This is my first time on this
web page, and I hope to share more experience some time. E-mail is welcome.

Rita, Hi, I'm Gloria...

Welcome to the sharing list, it sounds like you started in a very
natural way. Night schooling is indeed the way of the seeker, and few
really bring back to the conscious mind all that is happening.

Gloria:
 Great, this is exactly the inner process that brings the awakening
through, to surrender to God while out of the body and remember it is a
big step.
 Check out my homepage and then we will share.
