brilliant post, col. Funnily enough it just popped into my mailbox as I was
preparing to respond to the same post..
and, um, guess I should introduce myself nicely now, as I've been merely
lurking up to now (*hi Linda!* I second your entire post just to save inbox
space)
Anyway, what I had to say about pain was that I've been thinking lately that
it may be a certain kind of blessing depending on how you look at it. Not
that masochism is a great key to spiritual development, God help us, but if
you focus on pain intently it can reveal itself as energy and stop actually
hurting..
When I was about fourteen -the same time as my periods were beginning - I
had an operation where the bones in my spine were all sort of wired together
with a metal rod on each side. The spine was pulled violently into a new
position and the flesh at both sides was pulled right off my body then
stitched back together. During the recovery morphine was often in short
supply and I was left without for quite long periods (thanks, NHS!). Being
fourteen, of course I spent a lot of time moaning at the nurses for more
drugs, but after a while I started to focus my mind on the pain and perceive
it as a kind of very intense vibration, a whirlwind or sandstorm working its
way up and down my spine, and in the end became so interested (is this the
right word?) in what was happening that the pain wasn't frightening any
more.
A quote detatched istelf from somewhere inside my brain and for months I
couldn't get rid of it. From the Doors, of all things; "everything is broken
up and dances."
Any thoughts on a possible K-pain connection? Or is K simply connected to
everything?
