Divine Beloved?

[DaveP]

Hi There,

Had a party with my D.B. on the way to work this morning, was singing along on the radio to Ain't no Body by Chaka Khan. I felt her dancing in me...I thought I was going to explode with the amount of love jumping around. Well, I think it was my D.B. , unless it was a fun loving entity??

Truly on the edge of insanity...but its a nice kind of madness .

Namaste

P.S Mystress, please don't think that I am rushing the course, only on lesson 6 (grounding) at the moment...but I am still studying the k primer extensively. Can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge.

Hello Dave!

If you feel love and a dance inside you it is surely the Goddess within you. If it was an entity it would want something out of it, promises or threats or distractions.

Maybe a wild dance within is not insanity, but true sanity? We are often raised to be such sticklers.

Namaste!

remember a radio transmission about the flamenco folk tradition, with a moderator of a charming hypnotic voice, so this might be the cause why i remember it so well, (ear to ear smiles).

She was talking about the Famous Flamenco dancer "La Singla"; it was about that she had went to Paris, studied ballet and had a lot of internalized the other culture; then having returned home, among Her tribes people, there was this necessary "out of tune" -thing when cultures clash.
Seeing it from a middle path conception, i suppose She had made gains as well as losses,  when living abroad.

The loss which was felt so strongly when back home, was described by them as a lack of "demon".
They tried to explain it to her, she tried to get it, and this became a hard time for all people involved.

Finally the miracle happened during a performance, during a prestigious festival, when she was forced to "swim or drown": They cheered her on: "Let go of the perfection  you learned from courses, listen to the  *demonic* voice, let your own wildness possess yourself", and..."forget everything you ever learned". And in her frustration she started to cry, and someone encouraged her up to cry even more, to let it completely out and put all of it into her dance, her flamenco; following this, she eventually got intellect completely out of her way, and pulled it all off; turned her wild soul inside out; and became ...La Singla.

Ha ha, Gustav Your delicious self-irony brought this story back to the mind. Hope i could pass it on rightly, though knowing i can not match the narration i originally encountered, by that flamenco witch on the radio, salem sighs.

Dave, i think there is no reason to be ashamed or get any bad feelings, when Divina rocks you wild; you will know by people's reactions who you can trust.

Cheers Gustaf/Juergen,

I really enjoy the experience just to let go...I've always been a little like this, if the moment takes me. I'm a bit of a paradox. Sometimes reserved, other times up for anything...a little crazy. I suppose I would like to stabilize somewhere in the middle...hoping this course will sort this out. There is a change in me already...should be I suppose with the amount of stuff I am surrendering at the moment. At it all the time.

Cool story Juergen, "forget everything you ever learned"...reminds me of the main Tai Chi maxine...invest in loss. With great loss comes great gains.

Getting good result connecting to the witness state...keeps me chilled but keeps a sense of humour there, seeing both poles of a situation as they are from above, seeing the basic irony of the juxtaposition of extremes, stops me taking things too seriously.

Dave, i think there is no reason to be ashamed or get any bad feelings, when Divina rocks you wild; you will know by people's reactions who you can trust.

Wasn't ashamed... just connecting to the irony of the experience... Gustaf got the joke.

Namaste

Yeah cool!
It's interesting, this middle path thing is occupying me for quite a while, it feels like related to the heart chakra. On the one hand it sounds a little lame; but polarity seems present nonetheless, like an electric supply, a battery for instance. Then there is a similar term: duality; but this has to be discerned, in my actual semantics, duality belongs rather to the separation complex. While polarity feels more and more like a powerful positive thing, something to be polished and sharpened by well-balanced stability.(And vice versa balance feeds on polarity).
My development seems to go slightly the other way, than yours, more from shy and well-behaved to open and a bit, hmmm, naughty?

Whatsoever, it's a great thing, to get this freedom perspective of responsibility: being god of one's own fate and overcome the limitations of the past(karma).

Wasn't ashamed...

obviously not
You shure, Gustav got the joke...?

Juergen,

Hmmm...I seem to sense this also in the heart chakra. Have a Tai Chi Qigong Exercise that confirms this; works on balancing the two polarities... Heaven and Earth, within mankind. Would you like details?

[juergen]

Dave,

i really appreciate Your offer, and wanna thank You!

I did my own kind of exercise based on simpler Qui-Gong/Tai-chi moves, increased with stretchings, visualisations, slight power training, and it was ok, perhaps i'll  find ways to integrate it in my daily sequence, because:

------------
This gonna sound bit of inflated so be prepared.
Advantage is it's quite short, maybe even concise.
------------

Heart is Flow, Flow is Life, perfect Flow is Sanity & Bliss

Gi-Gong is also Flow, however separate; so are endorphines from jogging, all healthy type food things, health cures, vacations etc. .

Let's make any motion 'Qui-Gong', our nearest surroundings into spas, any exertion a spring of endorphines, any food a drug of bliss.
All mental effort be a grounding meditation with the discernment of the heart voice and surrender; ...accompanied by mindfulness of our state of insights;  ...and each mental effort, be it a step towards the light of Nature, Goddess, the place before distortion;  ...where we always stumble but never fall and don't judge the stumble: mortality, Shadow;  ... and where The Shadow Self is a snug location for eternal...
