Neato!, so well put.
You know, this list is getting to be so good...
It has been a while since I lurked and participated ...
Is there less nagging and flaming?
Or is this the silence before the storm...scratch that... solstice or
equinox...whatever.
I've had the "cobras behind and above my head" sensations various times.
Started out with a vibrationary sensing that there was some sort of umbrella
like protection behind and above me. Attributed it to sensing the inside of
the top back part of my aura. Was quite aware at the same time of the
throat, brow and crown chakras gently humming. Second time the sensation
filled out with an awareness of undulating colours behind me. The umbrella
turned more into something vaguely resembling a peacock tail, fanning out
behind me, again with humming vibrations, also with lots of eyelike whirly
coloured spots. Reminded me of Hildegard von Bingen's visions, some of which
contained many eyes. If I recall correctly from the books, the peacock is
connected very much with the throat chakra and also somewhat with the Soma
chakra (behind the brow at he bottom of the brain). That makes sense because
I tend to catch myself singing and humming and 'glorifying' a lot,
especially when the nectar (soma, ambrosia, amrita ) flows down from the
third ventricle onto the back of my tongue. (Used to be called "Singing the
praises of God.") There is also the odd spontaneous dance (have to become
more daring with that though, some masculine inhibitions are still acting up
especially when I am in public public). The cobra or "Naga King' sensations
are more recent but the characteristics of what I just described are still
part of it. Initially I did not know about the cobra connotations, only
after I saw some Naga King statues did it start ringing bells (literally,
but also pun intended).
However, when I sense carefully, and I like doing that, there are no cobras
or peacock like things... just intense vibrations, colourful undulations,
sounds (like the music of the spheres and celestial orchestras)...
The sense of feeling the concreteness of the structure of the inner back top
of the aura is getting stronger... I am sure this will fill out and I am
sure I will become even become more aware of the physical concreteness of
the aura. "It is stuff."
Sure I see and have seen snakes (and tigers and cows, the swan even, in my
states) and had the snakes up my spine etc. But I attribute the picturesque
visualisations to cultural influences, archetype-like memories...
Come to think of it, they may well be evolution memories. Used to have them
frequently. Picturesque visualisations...that is all they are though...
Interpretations and 'giving form' are culturally influenced translations...
Like 'trying to make sense of these things'. We explain many un-human things
the anthropomorphic way and ....as it turns out many other phenomena...
animal-morphic (there must be a Greek word for this.)
By the way, through all this (I must be very blessed), I err a lot... No,
let me put it differently, I am not afraid of trying and testing the odd
thing, and many a time I go 'awry', but it will always be put right. Oh,
that divine compassion within and towards us... and that glorious love that
all is.
Yes hugs,
Wim
