Dear Carole,
These phantasmagoric shapes are interesting. I get them fairly frequently
just before going to sleep. They seem to be common--perhaps even archetypal. I
simply force myself to relax and look at them. They can shift into all sorts
of interesting forms. I wonder if cartoonists are naturally talented in
seeing changing faces.

me, >and were accompanied by a loud noise like tinnitus (I suffer with tinnitus
and >deafness). I would also hear all sorts of sounds, loud bangs, laughter,

mad.
The fear of madness, is, of course, one of the greatest fears with K. I was
lucky in that I immediately felt I might be going mad, but I simply didn't
care. I found it all too fascinating. But I had previous experiences with LSD,
and a knowledge of what Kundalini was, so I knew a bit what to expect. I hope
that the huge amount of information out there now will help alleviate the
fears. Alas, some websites seem to feed into them instead.
It's how we *interpret* the sounds and shapes we see that is all important.

Pretty scary! When we are K active we make visual analogies to physical
occurances. We feel extraordinary heat that we can't account for, so fear tells
us we are literally in flames. In fact, K seems to be rather literal minded!
LOL! It is intelligent, though, which makes it very strange to our ordinary
consciousness. Fire dreams as well as water dreams are very common during
some K stages.

Yeah! K trying to get your attention! :))

Interesting! Sooner or later I think the two merge--everything just *is.*

Yeah! K energy pushing and pulling on us.--making the energy flow through us
more easily.

Not surprising since you had little idea what was going on

Well, my take is a little different. Sometimes protection may be necessary
when we can't release fear in any other way, but I feel that fear is what
causes negative interpretations of the energy. Acceptance is, for me, the fastest
way of dealing with these phenomena.
Thanks for sharing!
Love, Hillary
