<<although it is not unusual for the
initiate to be drawn to a more experienced, 'Graduate' Shaman to have a
hand to hold during the difficult bits. This has been handled.. I am a
Shaman and there are several others on this list. Perhaps we ought to
create a new list for Shamans and Shaman initiates.. :)>>
I think this is a wonderful idea. :)
<< While Shamanic initiation is often thought to come "out of the blue", I
believe it is usually asked for, on some level. I had asked for a guide to
teach me how to be a Dominatrix in service to the light.. you have asked to
become a healer.>>
I think I was more vague...I wanted to know what *this* was, and what my potential was with it. Maybe the wonderful reason why I am sometimes so directionless. ;)
<<Some
Kundalites may become healers, but not all.. whereas pretty much all
Shamans become healers, although some may primarily specialize in other
activities. Some like me may even have to do healing work in order to
maintain our own health.>>
A few weeks ago I began seeing again, after about 9 years of hearing, smelling, and tasting in that realm. I had learned to read the sight of something out of the energy to compensate. I found out quite suddenly while talking to one of my net-friends that my sight was back on-line and I can't really remember when it turned back on. I saw a pair of knots on her ovaries, but she was unconcerned as she's had cyst problems for years. I kept after her, and finally she went to the doctor just to prove me wrong. (See, there are virtues to skepticism...;)) She had surgery two weeks ago and had two malignant tumors removed. This was a huge step for me, as I had blocked seeing anything since I got to see Gerald's death firsthand from 200 miles away.
<< In my case, my ADD made it hard for me to simply sit still and hear
the messages clearly, and there was no point to my learning the language
and rituals of a long dead culture.. so I invited Chacmool to rearrange my
unconscious as he needed to, dig around in there to find a common language
and metaphor that I could understand. As a result, I learned Mayan
mysticism through modern metaphors of the Holy Grail, science fiction
novels and .. etc. Everything from comic books and vampire stories to SM
roleplay became metaphors to communicate the essence.>>
Sounds like you got the fun metaphors. :Þ I get computers, networking, and the internet...with a side dish of music. Sometimes it seems so unnatural for the metaphors to be servers, programming languages, and wiring diagrams...but then I come to my senses and realize it doesn't matter what the metaphors look like as long as you understand them. :) But then again, I can't figure out how I understand the diagrams and languages, since I consciously know none of it.. :)
