Dear Joe F. and fellow list members, 
You wrote about the distinction between pleasure and ecstasy which I  
think is rarely made in day-to-day living, but is oh-so-important in  
reaching the wholeness of who we are.  I have experienced a vast  
difference between pleasure and ecstasy. Worlds apart, and yet often  
flattened into one thing.
 
Generally I think of pleasure as something the body likes. 
One meaning of pleasure in the dictionary is: sensual gratification. 
This tends to keep alive the idea that physical reality is the only real  
thing; the body is all, long live the body.  
 
Ecstasy-- ek stasis-- outside of time... to step into the eternal now. 
To experience the unity of soul in the time that is no time, the space 
that is no space.  Sustained in the moment.  (sustained, sustenance)
 
In a sense-- Pleasure occurs within linear time, 
      Ecstasy occurs in the eternal now-- the realm of the infinite 
  
      Pleasure occurs within the realm of the senses 
      Ecstasy occurs within the fullness of the soul
 
I learned about ecstasy through experiencing states that only after 
the fact I identified as ecstatic.  I then tried to find information 
on the subject, but found very little. Most of what I found was in  
reference to various mystics-- which separates the experience away  
from 'ordinary' folks.  So what I've said here is based on my own  
experiences.  
 
I think ecstasy is more a part of everyone's life than might at first 
be realized.  A shift in perception may reveal the ecstasy inherent in  
day-to-day living.  It may be more apparent in children and then sent  
underground as we *grow up and become civilized.*  While it is true,  
that the mystic may exhibit extreme ecstatic states as part of the  
mystical life, this too is a separation from daily existence.      
 
Indeed, if it is the case that ecstasy is the realm of the soul, and 
pleasure is the realm of the body, then as we become integrated into 
the fullness of our being, we bring that soul ecstasy into daily life. 
We become one with the fullness of who we are.  And imagine if you can 
the wonders of uniting with another ecstatic being, be it through body 
or soul, and know that this is the source of creating and sustaining and 
healing the world through all the spheres of being.
 
In light, 
ori^

<sigh>  I hate Pine....
 
Ok, my $0.02 worth....  I realize that this discussion is coming more from 
the Hindu standpoint of Tantra and mine is from Buddhism, the two which 
are significantly different, but both are esoteric paths in their own 
right.
 
Tantra may be "dangerous," but it is only dangerous if handled 
incorrectly.  For example, attempting the higher teachings without a 
mentor to guide you along and make sure that you are following along with 
mindfulness and correctness.  However, it *is* the quick path of 
enlightenment, and if you are a Mahayana Buddhist, you will want to become 
enlightened quickly in order to help others become enlightened as soon as 
you can.  It's also said to be very good for people whose lives are simply 
incapable of being anything other than a lay practitioner.
 
I hear all the time how this practice is dangerous, or this, or that, or 
the other when it comes to anything esoteric.  My response is thusly: 
only if done incorrectly and/or with the wrong intentions.

yes.. because we're looking for a forgotten part of ourselves in the 
partner, in the tv show or ice cream:) 
We can look outsdie of ourselves forever and never really find it.  
Until we look within, where it has been waiting silently all along.

Bravo Aaron, 
your words ring so true with me. 
this was the most important lesson for me to learn so far. 
...and it has been soo difficult. I was always someone's wife, someone's 
mother. Defined and valued by my job or my station in life. 
Now I find myself as just *me*  
I know that I must stay this way... it forces me not to be timid. I choose 
to be alone and  look within at myself. I continually have to practise to 
love and trust myself. Which is a continual thing for me.
 
... and we know how these things work :) 
I know that when I'm all set with being alone. Perfectly happy with being 
my own best friend. All set for the rest of my life. Then the possibility 
of a realationship will come along....to 'mess' things up again hahaha:)
 
..just when you think you've got it all figured out... 
Wham! 
spirit lets you know you've got a few more miles to go :)
 
namaste 
Nancy

wonderful poem, thanks!
 
I have heard it said that if there were only flies, and no bees, 
then all flowers would smell like ... you-know-what!
 
(I have also heard it said, there is actually somewhere on earth where  
there are no bees, and the flowers there do in fact smell like  
you-know-what)
 
So, as we pray or sit in meditation, are we bees, or are we flowers,  
or are we flies?  Hmmm, seems like I take turns...
 
cheers

This is something I have just been thinking about and am still muddled by. 
For me, my body is my instrument. All sensations seem to be processed 
through my body, even ones of a "higher" nature. If I am feeling love, I 
feel it in my body. If I am feeling grief, I feel that in my body. 
Kundalini experiences are most definitely a body-related.
 
I don't understand why to seek pleasure through the body is often 
considered not as "enlightened." To me, all things flow through the body. I 
know I am specifically interested in feeling ecstacy, love, joy, etc. IN MY 
BODY. So, I am still confused by the definition of "pleasure."  To me, 
something that is pleasurable is something that "feels good."  Don't 
ecstacy, joy, love, etc by definition, feel good?
 
Even in the very rare occasions where I have been consciously "out of my 
body," I WAS still in A body -- probably my etheric or astral or whatever, 
and it was pleasurable.
 
I guess why this question came up for me is that last night I was reading 
"Journey of Awakening," a book on meditation by Ram Dass. In it somewhere 
he states that the goal of meditation is not bliss, spiritual joy, 
pleasure, blah blah, but FREEDOM. Well I didn't completely understand this- 
gee, I am seeking bliss and spiritual joy, and frankly, I was a little 
confused on what the "freedom" was he was talking about. Freedom to see 
that all thoughts are attachments? Okay, then what?
 
Still seeking answers,
 
Love & Light,

I think that at times we need to either face our fears for the first time 
or rienforce that we are past soemthing that scares us. I think that men 
have a better chance at doing this because it's part of their conditioning 
growing up. But sometimes as women we hide behind the strengths of our men 
and don't develope ourselves in this area. 
I went through a time of fighting demons in my sleep, it was very 
Shamanistic. They were very crafty and tried to trick me, it was like this 
big game but I knew that if I lost it meant my death.  
I was observing this 
and in it at the same time. When I looked at myself I looked like an 
ancient wizardess.. long silk gown, tied at the waist, crystals and 
wands:) and boy! was I strong and wise.. ( I was really suprised because 
in awake life I was the total opposite) these little demons had nothing 
on me, in my dream state. The more dreams I had the more difficult they 
got... then just when I thought I was to lose one time, my inner man 
jumped out of the bushes and helped me.  
I was facing my fears, inner demons and I even found the male part of 
myself who was even stronger than I had ever expected.
 
ramble... :) it's a rambling day for me :)
 
but to get to the point:) 
I think that by reading this book, you were facing your fears. Even if 
they were manifesting in your house.. they were there for you to overcome 
them. I do think that this is a risky way of doing this exercise, though.  
Sort of like trying to get in touch with spirit by using an Ouija board. 
You don't really have control of what is coming through.  
There would be better ways of doing this... maybe part of your calling is 
Shamanistic and helping lost souls find their way?? ... just a thought.
 
take care 
Nancy

   I am sending this to the list in an attempt to forestall the bombardment

you have crashed by doing this.  
  I am not angry with you, you didn't crash my system, tho I impatiently

cannot comment of the photo itself, as I am not equipped to view files of

  This, Fool, was a very bad idea. Is a very bad idea, for anyone else 
considering it, you go write lines too.  
   
  One more time ....(sigh)  
 Do not send attachments to K.list! 
 They crash people's mail systems! 
 they overload the server!  
196608 x 245 members = too much! 
They get people who get email at work fired when they crash thier system at 
work! 
 They are often not even accessable to many systems, and so show up a 
gibberish, once they have finished crashing the server!  
  They screw up the K.list digest, which is sent out when it reaches 32k! 
  Whole editions of the digest show up as gibberish!  
  People who subscribe to the digest usually do so because of mail volume 
restrictions, so it messes up their life, too!  
  These screwy posts are then preserved inthe archives forver, lurking to 
crash more systems of people who request archives in the future!  
  DONT! SEND! ATTATCHMENTS! TO! K.LIST! EVER!!!
 
   Post them on your website and send the URL. If you have no website send 
them to me and I will put them up on mine for you. JPG or Gif only, please.

I had some strange dream last night.  I was at a party and there was only 
one way for me to get in, but people were blocking my way.  Eventually I 
found another way in and when I got back to the original entrance, the way 
was cleared.  I felt like the group of people were hiding something from 
me.  Eventually I started hearing sounds, all kinds of sounds: klanking and 
bells, laughter, screams, sounds like whales all mixed together and I knew 
that these were sounds from another dimension. 
I saw this person who appeared to be in charge and I started shouting to 
her the sounds I was hearing and it seemed to scare her and the rest of the 
crowd. 
Then I turned into a cobra and from previous dreams I realized that in 
doing so 
my weekness would be if someone came at me as a mongoose.  But nobody did 
and I can't recall anymore after this.  Even though I was mad because I 
felt they were hiding something, deep inside I still felt a treemendous love.
 
The sounds were tremendously incredible!

I echo Peggy's question.  
Does enlightenment feel good?  
What is freedom? Freedom from what?

   K awakening and poltergiest phenomena going together is not unusual, an 
if the book spooked you, it makes you more vulnerable. 
  Here is something I wrote out for another who was experiencing intense 
unvanted spirit activity last fall, it works!   
 Blessings, Angelique. 
 **************************
 
Well, O.K. here goes.  
 I have always found it hard to articulate my own house spell, but I don't 
think that precludes me describing to you how to do one. 
 Best if you and your partner if you have one do the spell together. Find 
some time when you are both in a relaxed and positive state. If you have a 
sage smudge stick, smoke the apartment before you begin. Sit facing eatch 
other, do the grounding excercise I described in an earlier letter-I will 
dig through my archives, and send another copy. 
 When you are at the point where each of you are an egg of light on an 
endless thread of light, with the circut of energy going each way, starting 
with the north corner of the apertment, create an endless pillar of light 
at the corner, anchor it to the centre of the earth, and to your higher 
selves. (I usually just create the forms with imagination, sitting still, 
but you can physically go there.) Clockwise around the apartment, create a 
pillar of light at each major corner. Lock thier circuts in place wth your 
intention, that your unconscous and Angels will maintain the spell 24/7. 
Notice the patterns and directions of the energy fields you have created. 
 Return your focus to the perimeter of your aura. Expand both of your auras 
to the size and shape of the entire apartment, with the intention of 
pushing out any negative or unwanted energies or entities with the aura's 
expanding "shell".  Claim your territory.  
  When the edge of your aura is the apartment boundary, return your focus 
to the first pillar, and imagine a wall of light growing from the first 
pillar to the second, to the third, etc. Do the floor and cieling, too. Be 
aware of the apartment enclosed by an impenetrable box of light, that 
allows free passage of you and your guardian spirits, but blocks anything 
you want it to block. Put extra energy around doors and windows. Ask Angels 
to guard, to warn you if any energies that require your attention are 
trying to get in. 
  When the house seems sealed, you can return your aura to it's regular 
size and relax. I  like to snap my fingers, to lock in a spell. Anyway you 
imagine it is okay, it is the intention that counts. For a spell on a 
house, rather than an apartment, I would start with a golden circle of 
energy, created by the current of joined hands, expand it outward to 
enclose the property, then spin it up into a dome, and down underground 
into a bowl shape, until the property was enclosed in an egg of light, 
suspended on a thread of light. But for an apartment, such a shape invades 
the space of others. That's why the pillars, then floor and cieling...they 
will follow the building construction and support it, without intruding on 
the other apartments. 
Because of the pillars, the spell is fuelled by Gaia Herself, administered 
by your higher selves. 
When ever you have excess K., ground it off into your house spell, to 
strengthen it. The more attention you give to periodically imaging your 
spell inviolate and strong, the better it gets. Soon, it becomes sentient, 
and begins to return your love.  
  My spell got so strong, my home was actually in another dimension. druid 
says it was 90 degrees off normal space. 
I also gave it a fuzzy puppy vibration, so it did not attract dark intent. 
The energy of Shhh. Nothing for you here, don't wake the baby. Like a baby 
deer. Invisible to predators, scentless, and too cute to hurt.  Shape the 
spell to your needs. It is an energy construct. Be sure to give it some 
safety switches, so it is not disturbed by your mood swings, but rather 
helps to keep you stable. Shape it with emotion, love, and security. You 
can even make it virus-proof. You can shape different rooms to different 
moods-my playroom spell was different from the rest of the house. It 
contained a transformer, capable of absorbing astonishing amounts of 
negative energy, and transmuting it to light. Funny, I can talk about it 
now that it's been dismantled and stored in crystal. All will be as you 
imagine.  
 While writing this, druid came to read over my shoulder. Neat, he said. 
What about this place? So I ended up constructing for him a house spell, 
and sucking a dark being that was hanging aroung his toy closet through a 
white light hole. I can be very impatient, sometimes. The whole thing took 
five minutes. No smudging, didn't even do a grounding excercise first. No 
need, writing this is grounding, sacred work. We both noticed the room was 
noticeably brighter when I finished. He fed me energy, and I shaped it. 
Conductors are useful that way. I finished up by bathing the place in 
Goddess' light and love, shining down from the central sun.  
  Oops, forgot the fairies! Let em' back in! I don't think they are harmed, 
my unconscous doesn't class them as harm.  
 He just came back and said he had a conversation with Chak, who is sitting 
on the bathroom vanity. He asked Chak if I was going to dissipate my 
energy, making house spells everywhere. Chak said, 'she has to make one for 
the planet.' I was careful not to draw on Chak's energy for the construction.
 
 So, that's everything I can think of to tell you about house spells.  
   Some people use a lot of physical stuff, horseshoes and what not- the 
visualization and intent are the important things, though. I usually skip 
the ritual stuff, I'm a creative visualization oriented witch.  
  Improv-R-Us. Whaddya mean, no spellcasting because eye of newt is out of 
season? Depending too much on physical stuff is creating unnecessary 
limitations, I think.   Smudge sticks are nice, though. I find the scent to 
cleanse my brain, and therefore it works. Supposedly, sage is to negative 
energies as garlic is to vampires. Native Indian thing. Make your own-a 
bunch of fresh sage, by itself or with cedar leaf, rosebuds, willow shoot 
whatever smells you like in your fireplace or incense burner. Gather them 
up like a bouquet, start at the stem ends, wrapping them together tightly 
with cotton string (no synthetics-poison stinky smoke! and you know what 
burning wool smells like....) Keep the wraps close together  at the stem 
ends, widening the spirals considerably as you begin to bind the leaves. 
Put blessing energy into the work. Spiral your way from stem to tips and 
back once or twice, tie a few knots. Set the result aside to dry. Herb in 
tight bondage. They usually seem to use colored string. There may be more 
ritual to it than that, if you speak to a native person, but hey...whatever 
works, I say. 
 To use it, light the tip like incense. Traditionally, an eagle feather is 
used to waft the smoke, but I don't have one, I just wave it around and 
blow on it, declaring my intention to cleanse. Sprinkle water on it to put 
it out, when you're done. Set it aside to dry for next time. 
   So, that's the magical lesson for today!  
    Blessings. Angelique.
