Gloria here; 
Glad you could understand and stay with the flow, my writing is more 
like just staying with the energy so it will penetrate, so often you 
can't even remember what it is, but it does enter deeply, like your 
dream.

Gloria: 
 You pretty much know what this is, you are both the male and female 
here and there is a very deep penetration of male energy coming through 
right now. It sounds like you are male dominant and that your female is 
somewhat being suppressed, but not minding it with the smile... does 
this fit? Perhaps the way the female is coming out is not supression as 
much as a gentle guidance through observation, this is very female which 
is passive and gentle. The female is also kundalini and where the male 
part wants to control the female just sits back and smiles and says do 
what you must, but I'm coming through.

Gloria: 
 The blast of light comes in that initial awareness, it is like the 
light comes on bright enough to tell you that yes, something remarkable 
is happening, then it subsides because you must learn what all of it 
means. The gentle glow of light will respond to your chakra that is 
primary in your experience, one day you will know each center by light, 
color and frequency. You will also know from this experience what center 
your working from and how strong the ego/shadow is will also come 
through this information. Remember every center is a world to itself, it 
applies to a part of the puzzle, everything is only parts until that 
whole awareness comes together from the crown. Everything in the 
awakening process is about relationship. This word came to me last night 
in my night work very strong, it isn't piercing or balance so much as we 
discussed in the previous conversation with Kurt and Harsh, it is 
relationship. It is very much like the realization of love as frequency, 
every part of the human/spiritual evolvement directly relates to love of 
other and love of self. When we speak of love of self...I mean God 
loving him/herself in you. And in all of that love being exchanged back 
and forth, the love will eventually explode into full awareness and 
awakening. Love is the key and the universal law that carries all of it 
forward. I am much stronger in focusing people into that surrender mode 
to God and Divine Will. The opened letters of the lotus is Divine Will 
manifest, so when I say surrender to that potential in you, it means you 
reach to your highest place through the heart...which is love and in 
this relationship. Of God...dropping down to you through the Crown 
Chakra, and rebirthing you in the heart through love, this is the 
relationship that takes you ever into the many pathways of the human 
body, mind, emotions, spirit, soul, all of it needs to connect through 
relationship. It is very powerful if you can take it in. Love to all.

Most likely the seven heads of the dragon in Revelation 
and the seven cobras Ruth referred to are completely 
different symbols. The dragon is listed as also having 
ten horns, which if I recall correctly (got to start bringing 
my Bible when I'm online so I can look this stuff up) are 
stated as representing 10 kings. I think heads and horns 
in Biblical prophecy are almost always symbols for 
political entities, powers or persons - helping locate the 
prophecy specifically in time - whereas I feel certain that 
the seven cobras have nothing to do with politics or 
government!
 
- Mike
 
P.S - Ruth - why the big blast against the Bible? I've 
never understood the hostility sometimes showed to it. 
I know some people have been bludgeoned with it - via 
poor interpretation and overzealousness - but why pick 
on the book (actually books)?

Truth is the Tao. 
It is a mental construct, a property used to 
describe perfection. 
Truth is also unatainable. 
One can only steer in it's direction.

It seems that there is a fair bit of attacking and counter- 
attacking going on in some of the discussion recently.
 
While goading someone into a response may indeed be 
helpful in bringing issues to the surface which need to 
be resolved, and while high-heat responses may help 
start the process of resolving them, I'm personally 
inclined to leave that process to professional therapists 
who have some idea how to channel the responses into 
constructive healing.
 
A good debate is great fodder for thought - open-minded 
people on opposing sides of an issue can learn a lot from 
each other in the process of proposing, challenging and 
defending points of view. However, in my experience the 
degree of open-mindedness present varies inversely with 
the level of aggression or "heat." The discussion between 
Kurt and Harsh recently has been a good example of a 
low-heat debate that can be very informative, both to the 
participants and to the rest of us. Both have been open 
to the other's insights; both can learn. When we are in an 
"attack" or "defense" mode, we are closed and unable to 
learn, so the debate becomes pointless.
 
Let's learn together in love,
 
- Mike Stickles
 
P.S. - A personal clarification. While I have responded to 
a few messages in the current "hot" debates, I've refrained 
from addressing certain issues regarding God, the Bible, 
or various doctrines. The reason has not been agreement 
or disagreement with any of the participants in the debate 
(although I do have some specific positions on the issues). 
It is merely that in many cases there seems to be a high 
emotional investment in a position by one or both parties, 
and I've found that when this is true it doesn't help to jump 
in with my own views.

Don and all, I've sort of read this/these threads. I appreciated Don's "From 
the Heart" sharing. Like Don, I've had up close and personal interactions 
with Jesus, and I love him deeply and learn from him. I just don't have 
anything to do with Christian organizations, and do not consider myself to 
be a Christian. Jesus accepts this in me and has laughed with me about it.  
I try to keep my focus on that from which he came. it's simpler. 
At the same time, I've been pointed back in my path by any number of loving 
Christians, and shared worship speak with them. {My 7th day adventist 
neighbor and i found out we both conducted a good bit of our prayrer life 
while driving tractors.} 
Guess i'm not making a point, just dropping another stone in the pond.  
 We are all of value to each other. 
Blessings, 
Blythe

Professional therapists who have Spirit Awareness and understand how to 
channel the responses of those on the K-list into constructive healing. 
Now, that is truly a fabulous concept.  :-)

Mike....
 
Don has been providing a outstanding service to some on this list. Whenever 
I see the name DonBBenson show up in my Kundalini Box, I just know the fish 
hooks that are still in some, but in a state of denial, get yanked to the 
inth degree. What Don baby does is shine lights on walls where there should 
be bridges. :-)
 
I love hearing everyone views. Yours, too. So, don't hold back. That's what 
a Spiritual list is for. To yank chains, to stir things up... it's how ya 
grow and let things go.
 
Love and Light to all...

Still kind of stuck in illusion, am I. But at 44, I did find this list! So 
I'm back on the path, I guess. By the by, if you are 44 you must also have

Oh, Pooh Ruth.... what did you have to go and do that for????? 
I was reading your post when POW
 
one of those "moments" took me over.... 
 suddenly I (am)  everything at once. IT in me and ME in it.  
Bound together, but experiencing unnumbered others, with an I (am) 
each unique. OWR own I (am's) in total freedom, yet unable to  
be without the commom "thing." (which I identify as God.) 
 All and everything : Bound together, in absolute freedom. 
(doesn't make sense to me, but I feel it) 
Then, poof, I am  back to this reality.  back in THIS moment. 
 
 I think Ruth's words tipped off this moment when she writes: 
>That is why the heart is the only true source of the truth...
 
  I have felt this  "moment" on so many occasions that I named 
 the experience "rubber cement", it is "feeling" which  keeps  
me attached to IT(?) I think this feeling  Is A LOVE of existing. 
I think IT IS God.  
It drives me to  stretch, - to experience existing. 
And sometimes, as if to let me know that my stringgy attachment to  
the glob has gotten too thin...-it snapps me back!!! 
sometimes its more like a gentle tug, with a playful bounce along 
the way, IT gets my attention, being tugged back into the 
WHOLE like that.  
................... 
Sure, got it, "I Think" yea, I got the truth now! 
then....along comes 
  
TG.... who says:

Gee, thanks TG, :)  :0 
 Now I'm off again stretchin' that glob....  
..........  
I guess my point is that ......when I feel the God within Me - 
when I am reminded of this, that 
I Am/God Is,the whole being the same, (part of the same glob, 
so to speak).  and I realize, and know for just that sigular instant 
that  none exists without the other, that it is all the same. THEN, 
Its okay.,  All is well. 
and..Knowing that sometimes has to be enough for me.  
.................. 
bounce! :)

I too am beginning to wonder... and isn't that the first step in wisdom 
?
 
A brief < true for me > story to illustrate...
 
I have been involved in a very strange *triangle* ,for almost a year 
now.  Last Thursday, after spending 3 weeks with me, my *love* left to 
go back home.  After assuring me, he was *not* interested in the other 
woman, had no intention of ever seeing her again....he knocked at her 
door 5 hours later.. < she lives between his home and mine > 
 
At 5 minutes before he got there, I had a strong *feeling* that he was 
on his way to her...I tried to deny this feeling, because he had been so 
adamant about it...It got more intense... then at 6:15 pm... I *heard* 
him knocking at her door...I immidiately sent her an e-mail,stating the 
time, which she later confirmed...part of the *strangeness* of this 
triangle, is that she and I are friends..
 
Our relationship has taught me a lot about the rising K energies in 
me...however, those *feelings* were of anger, jeaulousy, hurt and fear 
....the exact opposite of Love...
 
The point of this posting is ...to agree that " The expression of 
feelings by the ego is to find gratification not to find love."
 
 I used to look at feelings, thinking that by not denying and 
suppressing

We are sooo good at playing the Victim !

Sounds *right* to me <s>

Been there...done that ... and lived to regret it *grin*

See *intuition* part of story above...
 
> -- Can intuitions sometimes be a play of the ego??  And if so,

Yep...for me its looking like... if there is fear,anger,jeaulousies 
involved, its from EGO... 
 
Would love to hear more discussion on this...
 
Thanks... another piece of the puzzle klicked...
 
Namaste,

I hope nobody thought I was singling out Don to pick on. My 
primary concern is really for those who seem to react to his 
posts as if they were having salt rubbed into open wounds. 
Of course, maybe that's their way of goading others into a 
similar kind of response which goads others into... - you get 
the idea - but it doesn't look like it. I want to be sensitive to 
those who have raw wounds in their souls.
 
 >I love hearing everyone views. Yours, too. So, don't hold

Well, it's one way to grow, anyway - I like the low-heat debate 
method myself. Perhaps I get overly concerned about the heat 
level of a debate, but my experiences with heated discussions 
haven't been very pleasant. Psuedo-heated discussions, where 
the volume is high but you can see the grins behind the shouts, 
are cool, but when all you have to go by is text messages the 
grins are hard to see.
 
I guess at heart I want to be a peacemaker. Sharpening each 
other requires some friction, with the resulting heat, but I hate 
to see some people melting down from it. My "heat tolerance" 
is personally pretty low - when the shouting starts to get pretty 
inflammatory I head for the exits - so I'm especially sensitive to 
seeing other folks melt down or erupt.
