Hi Jacintha,
 If you are married and it is happening naturally and isn't a problem
for either you or your husband, then just let it be and flow with it.
Sometimes it just isn't something that is in the flow in which case I
would say there is a very good reason for it, when you live in the
moment and you are working at focusing your life on your spiritual
journey, many things change. It doesn't mean that it won't change again
and you will be back in your normal relationship mode, but if it just
isn't happening, don't worry. Just be and be happy. Gloria

Hi Teresa,
Feel free to jump into the conversation whenever spirit moves you, there
is no right or wrong here, everything has purpose and like a huge

Since shaktipat is energy, it can be given through words, even words
over the internet. Just remain open and let God do the work.

Message-ID: <34BA716A.3EA5ATnospamintercomm.com>

Gloria Greco:
Hi Gloria Lee,

No right or wrong, detachment creates awareness of what is, it is an
instrument used metaphysically to allow spiritual energy into a
situation to transform it. When a person is totally involved in all
things, this is the normal course isn't it? Involvement means
action/reaction, and it is ongoing because one is the action and
emotions and thoughts fire out automatically. Thoughts and emotions in
fact can be so integrated into ones conscious mind that energies in a
room, either positive or negative... can start the energies working off
each other.

 In detachment one is no longer the action because he/she has stepped
back to witness it, as the observer, exactly the same as meditation.
When you are learning about who you are...inside, it is necessary to
create awareness of how life manifests. One becomes aware of the subtle
energies at work that are unseen as well as those that are seen, so that
you now have the ability to undo what the ego self has created. This
process of discovery goes on not only in your day hours but at night as
well. In fact, a great deal of the exposure comes through your night
training.

So this involves recognizing the state of different levels of
experience, by becoming the observer, the same as in meditation... you
are suddenly entering the life experience from a higher dimension. You
then have the ability to understand exactly what creates life as we
experience it. Until you actually understand the process, it is
impossible to dissolve the many aspects of the experience that is self
perpetuating.

 Detachment is a very important part of the awakening consciousness, it
creates the undoing of the self or the ego which allows the interior
letting go and transformation as kundalini/Holy Spirit energies work
with the evolving soul. The more the soul recognizes the play of
energies, learns to understand and read frequencies and vibrations, the
more that soul has become absorbed into the high frequencies of
Kundalini or Holy Spirit energies. In this ongoing process, one becomes
absorbed by God into union. Can you relate to this now?

Detachment is what she mastered, she observed herself vomiting, she observed herself feeling sorry for herself, she observed her self crying and she observed herself thanking God for everything she had received in letting go. She lived more fully because she wasn't so personally involved in the pain and anguish of the death process, once she accepted God's Will for her she actually became excited at what she was going to experience on the other side. And we talked in detail of what that process was, she has only come to me once on the other side and it was with a huge smile on her face. She was radiant.

  Yes, my first interpretation of the dream as entertainment.. I had a deja
vu from it New Years, 88.. they were testing out the laser light show in
downtown Calgary for the winter olympics. They were using opposite
skyscrapers as laser screens, and the geometric pattern of lights in the
sky made me think it was new technology, I had dreamt of..
   ... moving patterns on the sky, and music, but then they were replaced
with a very scary face that was not human, and people panicking.. which the
child thought an odd thing to do, at an entertainment.. then a human face
replaced it, and it said aircraft that had never been seen before were
coming and we would all get to go for a ride. We were collecting plastic
747's out of Corn Flakes, my younger bro and I, at the time... but these
ones had no wings... !
> And if the UFO's are comeing
>soon, let em come. I am just not too sure I want to go with them,

... but when it came my turn for a ride, after my adult self had been busy
calming people down and other things I found puzzling and amazing.. like,
why was my Adult self controlling her thoughts to keep them joyful,
whenever she got scared????
... and the man flying the ship (once my child self had morphed him into a
man, or it had morphed, to make me feel more comfortable.. coz it didn't
look human to start with..)..he said no ride for me, I had work to do..
that sounded too familiar to my child self, and it ws distracted with
pouting for while before it noticed the adult self seemed really happy
about it, (happy about being given work to do? This was not behavior I had
observed, in my family...) and there some talk of being given communication
devices and taking on leadership positions? I did not understand the
conversation, I gleaned this from the adult thoughts. the dream ends there,
in memory..

  Don't be afraid. UFO abductions and NDE's both cause K.A.
  Goddess moves in mysterious ways...
  The mass consciousness shift required for planetary healing, may requre
both, on a planetary scale. Kundalini has been called the most powerful
force in the Universe. Pollution has not. We will recreate Eden, with the
limitless power of our Love.
  Believe it.
 
  Grandma Devi got the attention of the Nobel committee, because with her
guidance, folks in the ex-soviet union were using K. to heal pollution...
measurably.
  (K is therefore already proven, eh, Gene?)

  Science, with careful double blind studies, has proven that the power of
prayer, works to heal.. no matter what the faith, or even if the person
praying knows the person being prayed for, beyond an identification number..
  Science is proving that human thoughts have real power, that they cannot
define within current physical laws.
  Thru sattelite television, it is possible for humans around the world, to
focus on the same images and share the same thoughts. Thru the internet, we
are discovering that country borders do not really divide people: there is
only One of Us.
  
  I have communed deeply with Lady Gaia, and She has not a trace of anger
at us, for the meSses we make. She is our Mother.. Unconditional Love. She
bears streach marks and dirty diapers willingly, for she sees ahead, to the
day when we reach the full flower of our "adulthood", as limitless beings
of light. When we learn to really use the toys we have created, by grace of
Goddess (TV and internet, among others..) as the powerful tools of
ascension they truly are.
  Instantaneous worldwide communication is the biofeedback tool we need to
understand the limitless power of our thoughts.

  Someone posted recently an article that said it has been discovered that
healers attune thier vibration to match that of the planet, when they are
doing healing. Most healers have been going thru a lot of energy cleansing,
because the vibration of the planet has been steadily increasing over the
last few years. Measurably.

  Fasten your seatbelts, the Planet is preparing for Liftoff... into a
higher vibration.

  We awakened folks know what too much K. feels like.. some folks know what
a too sudden awakening feels like.. if we are gonna shaktipat the planet,
best get a few unprepared folks out of the energy field, first, for their
own wellbeing. Ever hear of spontaneous human combustion? Know what causes
it? Ask yer K. Ask why it only happens to humans. Ever hear of spontaneous
sheep combustion?

   And how do we get them out of the energy field of the planet? How do we
even figure out who they are, if a list of awakened folks like this cannot
even agree on a definiton for enlightenment?? For that matter, how do we
persuade the lower vibe folks to "leave the room" for awhile so some magic
can happen without them getting caught in it uncomfortably? Do we even need
to?
  Goddess has it handled.
  There are quite a few things we have prayed for some help with.. Goddess
provides.
     Blessings, Mystress.

  PS: After I wrote this I read Anandajyoti's post on "Kundalini as
incidental (was RE: Genius)" Hmmm... He wrote:
>But as we are all still in the body, the energy, comes down again to the
base, for the
>maintenance of the body. Many may already be aware that Kundalini also
produces a lot >of internal heat. All bodies, in the physical, may not be
tuned enough to sustain the >effects of this heat. This is also a possibility.

  Goddess provides answers verrry quick, these days, eh?

Dear List,

May I proffer a topic for discussion. Much attention has been focused on the
sudden awakening of kundalini and its dramatic effects, but my experience with
meditators has been that the kundalini more usually awakens gradually and
gently over an extended period of time, bringing about the same progressive
transformation that we all understand but without the flash-bang-wallop we
traditionally tend to associate with the process. Such meditators usually feel
energy currents around their bodies and the build up of inner power but
because it all takes place naturally and gradually, many will not associate
this process with kundalini awakening unless/until there is strong spinal
activity. IMO this gradual awakening should be considered the norm, initiating
a period of total inner purification (gestation perhaps?) from which will come
the eventual attainment of Divine Consciousness.

Furthermore, where kundalini does awaken suddenly (as in my own case) I
strongly suspect that this is simply taking off where we left off in our
previous lives i.e. after a period of re-capitulation and allowing for karma,
the kundalini will awaken quickly so that we may resume our interrupted
journey. This would explain its apparent suddenness and why people often feel
that they have not done anything specifically to awaken it - they did all that
last time around! It might also explain why some yogis are not aware of
kundalini arousal prior to Self-Realisation: they have not experienced the
symptoms of any sudden awakening or anything within them that cannot be
explained by the idiom of their own particular path.

With blessings,
Alan
