:) Interesting. Looking forward to hearing more from
you.

:) As K asks me not to have too many opinions, I will
not question any of your views too harshly. K is all
we want it to be. ;)

Yes, the twitching stops after a while, when the
energy seems to have stretched itself out.
It then stays for a few hours before
receding and getting ready for the next round a few
hours later.
As the wise men of India
say: A serpent is only dangerous when it is
coiled, about to strike. When it is stretched out,
it is of no harm to anyone.

Yes, that is both (perceived)
personal as well as cultural
and religious control = acquired patterns of behavior.
Feels like many many layers and must be peeled one by one.
When the outer layers are gone, the life force shines
even more bright, speeding up the process, like a messenger
knowing he is coming close to the abode of the
recipient of his message.
It is my experience too that the life force will make
itself known very strongly in sleep and dreams.

As I see it, the most spiritual version of this force
is not the sexual side of it but the religious / spiritual side. I feel the energy takes leaps to
reach itself, to expand itself so it can show its
true self and abide in its true self
without the boundaries laid down on the
soul by the society.
Sometimes that can be very
tiring. ;) Like having a child constantly
begging for more sweets.
But you are right about the church / religion
binding the life force in many respects.

I really see what you mean here, or rather, your words
resonate strongly with me.
I experienced 2 hours of visions last night,
lively illustrating the strenght with which the life
force had been judged and bound by society and circum-
stances. At that time, death was imminent, ever
present, even self inflicted, yet wholly unacceptable.
This binding only served to strengthen
the force with which the life force would fight against
the binding, to make itself known and to expand.
This binding has dominated the mind body for years,
across the boundary of one mind body to the next.
The strange thing was, only when the binding was
acknowledged, could the process of really breaking
free from it start.

Yes.
The life force will make itself known in the entire
mind body. For me personally, it is the mind which
carries the heaviest shackles, not the body, so it is
the mind which "gets it" the worst.

Nice to see another new perspective on it.
The force will always strive to be Itself.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Best regards,
Amanda.
