At The Speed Of Life

I had been doing all sorts of oddball body "therapies" in my late 20's and early 30's. Much of it centered around getting my linear mind out of the way, experiencing the body's energies and directly accessing deeper unconscious stuff. I did alot of cathartic breathwork, often in warm bath.

I was getting different kinds of body work done: Network Chiropractic, Deep Tissue Release work of varying kinds, regular massage. I found during those sessions I would get a memory or emotional flash, sometimes deep grief, past life memories, or things that caused pain when I was a child. I found that if I went into the emotional component, that often the body pain/tweak/ache would release. I learned to tune into my body and focus there, even when not getting the bodywork done, knowing that my body held much of my wisdom and as well as the pain. I started doing a process called Voice Dialogue, which I'll talk about soon. Suffice it to say that it's a verbal therapy that gets me out of my linear brain, pushing me into an almost trance state of Sacred Theatre as I access different archetypal energies inside me and let them speak.

I was convinced by my late 20's that traditional verbal therapies were not for me. A friend of mine had started taking workshops from a husband and wife team, Gay and Katie Hendricks. She kept telling me I would love them as they were doing all the stuff I was already involved in, had the same approach that I was using in bits and pieces here and there. They had it all together in a unified system. After a few months of not being interested and she had just come back from another workshop, she MADE me read one of the books.

I found my new Gods.

I love it when I am on a Path and find someone so totally in line with the way I see things that I feel like I've written the book. I devoured everything Gay had written and started to do the exercises he suggested.

Their processes are body based and what they call "no blame microscopic truth" to self and others. The breath is integral. Posture, body language, aches and pains, all of it has the potential of giving clues to something going on in the psyche and providing the way through to healing if given the chance. Their techniques are so powerful that bodies change. Gay used to wear glasses, but spontaneously had perfect eyesight and no longer needs them. It was my experience that when I lost weight (I used to be very fat) that when I would hit those "plateaus" often talked about, I would notice old issues coming up. When I would do the inner work around them, I would suddenly lose say ten pounds all at once, loose slowly again, then go to my next plateau and start over again. When I asked them about it, they said that yes, that had been their experience working with people and that they had also seen food allergies disappear when the issues that were embodied when that food was introduced got cleared up.

I ended up taking their Body Centered training. It was at one of the weeklong events that I finally made the promise to myself to leave my marriage if my husband didn't want to work on our relationship with these tools. The night I got back, I asked him to go there with me. He didn't want to. I told him I was done. I feel that the work I did there gave me the strength to make a choice to live fully and boldly. It was not an easy decision with three children.

Their trainings are not easy. They work at stripping away personas and getting to our essence. They will rip someone apart if they try to use any mask, especially the Victim. It actually can seem heartless from the outside, but through all their work with thousands of people, I get that they have learned that the only way to get past the Victim voice is to obliterate it and let it know that it is no longer in charge. Although they never said this directly that I remember, their work taught me that the Victim position is the strongest most powerful one we carry. It keeps us stuck, not alive. It entices us to destructive addictions. It's fear keeps us half alive because it talks us out of taking risks, keeps us believing we are "less than" and powerless. They are merciless with the Victim. They were with me.

I'm not sure of their techniques now as I worked with them fourteen years ago. But my guess is that they are even better at what they do now than they were then. They are keenly interested in working with people who are functioning well, but want to function at their highest possible level. If you feel stuck in any way in your life and have dreams of living a huge one, I can think of no better teachers to get you there. The processes rip through inner blocks to joy, abundance, finding life purpose, whole healthy relationship, and full aliveness in every way you can possibly conceive. They offer the best ways to transform the unconsious beliefs that we hold that interfere with us using Law Of Attraction consciously. There's a reason my favorite book of theirs is called "At The Speed Of Life."

"The Inner Guide Meditation" by Ed Steinbrecher

I'm slowly making my way through the history and Path my Spiritual Journey has taken. I'm still in my 20's and early 30's in the telling and I am now 50. Before I move forward any more, I wanted to share a few posts about some of the processes and Teachers I found who helped me define what I felt inside.

One of these Teachers was Ed Steinbrecher. You can find out more about him here. He combined astrology with the work of Carl Jung and developed a very interesting way of dealing with the archetypal energies we all have inside us.

His process in a nutshell:

First you get a horoscope done. This lets you know which energies you chose to incarnate with, and how they are in harmony or conflict. Then you meet your Inner Guide. This involves a series of seen/felt movments that you go through in active meditation (guided visual meditations). You see yourself walking into a cave. You look to the left and see a door. You go through the door into a new landscape. You look to the right and see an animal. This animal will take you to your guide.

Throughout the whole active imagination process, you stay inside your body...that is you see things as if you are in your body making the moves, not outside watching yourself do this. You feel/sense the earth below you, feel the air around you, watch and learn how to describe the scene you're in. Not all can visualize, but rather get a vague sense of where they are. It's all good.

Once you've figured out that this is your real guide (Ed talks at length about how to make sure it isn't a "false" guide). Then this guide calls in all the different archetypal energies as they live inside us. He uses the Tarot Major Arcana (trumps) as the symbolic embodiment of the energy of the different planets and signs in your chart. You can play with them in different ways...for instance, you can take the time to invite them in one by one to learn what their gifts are for you and how they can help you in your life.

You can also work with the relationships between the different planets to consciously mitigate their influences. For instance, if your chart showed that Uranus was in opposition to Neptune, your guide would call in the Tarot Trumps of The Hanged Man and The Fool. You talk to both of them, negotiate with them and get them to agree to work more in harmony so that your life gets better.

And if this doesn't sound complicated and weird enough, there are places in your chart where the planets kinda work together. So he then has you bring all these together, see them meld and come up with a new archetype to play with that is a combination of them, yet a separate one standing alone.

Astrology is an interesting thing to me. My brain does not work like an astrologer's. Truth is, I start to twitch whenever I read too much astrology because brain just can't go there. How do astrologers combine math, all that linear memorizing and then combining it with the intuitive apspects that are relationships and influences of the pieces and part of a chart, then putting them all together and have them make sense? Boggles my mind. And in the world of astrologers, Ed's mind was a truly unique one....to be able to combine and come up with all he did here is phenomenal to me.

Like many of the things I've exploreed, there were pieces and parts here that stayed with me and some that didn't work out so well for me because of who I am. Ultimately, like astrology, this system was too much for me to do very long. There were too many people to deal with inside me, they wanted too much from me to work with. I'm lazy and this was just too much work for me. But there were some really juicy things that influenced me profoundly.

The biggest thing was that I learned to embrace my shadow. When Ed introduced me to her, I was shocked. She had long painted nails. I had not had them since high school. She wore business suits and pantyhose, I didn't one suit or pair of hose. She smoked and spent most of her time in bars, I didn't. She was blond with straight hair, I am a curly dark haired woman. She was loud, talked to everyone, was pretty non-spiritual. Not me. Her name was Amanda. She wanted me to be more like her, to embrace her energy more.

So I started. It became a joke of sorts as my wardrobe changed. There were Pamm clothes, and increasingly more Amanda clothes. Over time I started dying my hair, wearing nail polish, bought some suits (and wore them), bought heels. Soon I embraced her more and more until the clothes in my closet, and my internal reality which they were a reflection of, became "Pammanda."

I learned from Ed that I had two out of three aspects he calls "Alien Energy Constructs." These are really difficult to explain so I won't even try. What mattered for me is that it helped me to explain and give me ease around who I am and what I went through in high school. The reason they are called "Alien" is that's the way we feel about ourselves. We understand that we see differently, feel and experience life differently, know we are odd. Generally these are supposedly activated in the teen years and if we don't find guides and mentors we can go bezerk and shut lots of ourselves down because the psyche is scared, often taking years to heal. Major phew when I learned about them. Then to have him tell me I had two of the suckers...can't begin to tell you how much healing that brought. Just the knowing was huge.

Ed has passed. His work is being carried on by his nephew Stephen Connor. I found current Yahoo discussion group of pracitioners here .

Law Of Attraction and I'm Sorry

What does Law of Attraction have to do with saying I'm sorry? It's about being clear in my energy and the relationship I have with myself and another.

When I say I'm sorry, is that what I'm really saying?

First off, am I really "sorry?" Usually, it's that I'm feeling another emotion-

-Sad for you and life that I was blind to something I did that you now feel badly about. While I cannot control how you react to me, am not responsible for your internal processes, I'm sad that anything I unintentionally did is now causing pain somewhere in the universe. I cannot say I won't do it again, because it's me and I will not diminish myself to keep you safe, but I wish we could all be happy. I will sit with you while you figure out what it is that makes you sad about what I do/did because I care about you and know the journey can be eased with another's love by your side.

The energy here says to me: It was not intentional, therefore I'm not really sorry because I have done nothing out of alignment. I am saying it to hope that you feel better. But will you, in the long run, benefit from me taking responsibility for your hurt when I have as my primary intent not to harm? Again...I can use "excuses" for being blind, but if I am trying my best to be conscious and if another person gets hurt because of their own inner buttons and triggers, am I really serving them by feeding their unconsiousness? It's an interesting energetic to set up and get caught in.

- Frustrated with myself for doing something I wanted to do, thought it might harm or upset you, but did it anyway and hoped you wouldn't find out. Perhaps I am in a monogamous relationship and I feel an attraction for someone else. I don't say anything because I want to protect you. I also want to feel my attraction, maybe flirt, because it's fun. Say I'm a teen who wants to go to a party, knows that it's probably off limits, but goes anyway, not telling the parent about it so as to avoid hearing a no.

I get upset with myself because I am not telling the truth and I know it. I have very good reasons for not doing so that all boil down to "I want what I want and don't appreciate anyone else deciding if I get what I want or not." The energy is wishywashy...there hasn't necessarily been an "affair" or a direct lying to the parents, I ride the lines. When/if I am "found out" I can be wishywashy in my response, too. I justify the actions to the other and myself, get defensive almost angry/protective in my "sorry" turning it back on the other and their inability to understand me. Well...I only played...it didn't go anywhere, I wasn't sure, you didn't directly say___________. If I'm not found out, our energy is out of whack too because we "know" deep down we are out of integrity with ourselves.

It speaks to me of: I am afraid that I will not get what I want in any other way other than withholding and avoiding. I'll keep myself unclear and the energy unclear so that if I have to admit it, I can wishywashy my way out and not be responsible for my creation.

Is this the energy we want to be sending out to the universe?

-Am I Needing outside forgiveness? Before I understood this, I would often confuse and be unconscious about the Sadness part or the Frustrated part talked about above. Because I was being unconscious about the dynamics involved, I would get hooked into the entangled spiral of energy around it and feel guilt. If I could not forgive myself for the guilt, I would want/need to be forgiven from the outside to be able to live with myself. This required the other person to forgive me. They weren't always ready to.

The energy here says: I have messed up and I'm really upset with myself about this. Even though you are the one who has been "wronged" here I require you to step outside your feelings of dissappointment, pain and confusion to take care of me. You need to be big about this. Eeuw. Ick.

_______________________________

A genuine Higher Self "Sorry" requires nothing in return. It's not guilt ridden. It comes from the heart of deepest compassion for Self and Other at the condition called "we make mistakes." It's an acknowledgement that we are all human, that we are all doing this Dance together, we come together to learn from one another through these mistakes. That whether I'm the giver or the receiver of the sorry, I attracted this behavior for finding ultimate deeper connection with my inner Divinity. Wanna play with me to find out what that might be? There is no perpetrator, no victim here, no reason for the sorry, really, as there is nothing to forgive.
_______________________________

So, again...this is all nice....all theory....theory I like, but ungrounded in action. What's important for me is: how do I apply this?

If I am the "giver" of the sorry:

If someone is upset with me, I look at my intent here as this is my guide in response:

If I feel I that this is something that is the other person's stuff, I will hold onto myself. I do not say I am sorry because it isn't the truth. I will say I am sad for them that they are unhappy and can I work with them as they figure out what their projection is? If it involves an action they want me to take, I see within myself if it's something I want to do. If I don't, I tell them that I won't, that I hope this does not impede our relationship as I love them, but that I will not let go of myself here.

If I've been wishywashy (hardly ever happens anymore), then I see that it's time to get clear. I don't blame the other for my lack of clarity. I take responsibility and act differently.

If I've done something I know will hurt and done anyway, I admit it, I own it. I don't expect forgiveness in return. If they never forgive me, I don't try to dissuade them. I don't try to talk them out of their rage, sadness, don't ask that they trust me again. I stay until they feel complete in their expression of it. I am there for them. If they choose to continue in relationship with me, I agree to things that feel in alignment, then keep those agreements with more consciousness.

If I am the receiver of the sorry:

I don't want one. The sorry is for the giver.

I want them to hear and understand/see/feel what it did for me, taking themselves out of the picture. I want them to know me. I want an acknowledgement that the person understands what they've done, why they've done it and learn the deeper thing of it for themselves. Then we get to go to: now that this is figured out....why did we co-create this? What did we really do here? If I have players of this level, I get really excited. It's what life is all about for me and provides tons more juice than a Sorry.

Once there is clarity, my vibrational field is open, I unblock and am more open energetically to receiving all I consciously want from Law Of Attraction.

Breema

I have a Chiroprator friend in town who is amazing with the body. She seems to know every cell, what it does, what is connected to what, what nerve goes where. She's a yoga instructor as well, aligning the body properly so the postures are done correctly.

A few years back she started telling me she was learning this form of Bodywork from Afghanistan called Breema. She told me she was slowly shifting all her patients to this Breema thing because it was so effective in aligning the body. It was really different, getting all the body's energies working correctly, I really should come in for a session, it was amazing, yadayada, etc.

Because I am such a bodywork slut, most anyone who is trying anything new wants me to try it. But I put her off. She offered specials and kept bugging me to go in. Every time, I ignored her.

Finally I had extra time, had developed more of a curiosity and she had a special that I couldn't refuse. What the heck, why not? I was in one of my back tweaked periods (my right sacro-iliac joint had a tendancy to slide out of place from time to time and cause excrutiating pain). I had done the chiropractic and massage things I generally do, but like the time I describe here, none of my usual tricks were working.

Breema is done on the floor. One place described it as a cross between a Thai Massage and partner yoga. There are no tradtional massage "strokes." You just breath deeply, letting go into the moment and allowing the practitioner to move you. All the movements are designed to open the channels of energy in your body and bring you present. No one body part is addressed..it's a whole body balancing thing.

My experience? The first time I went, I didn't know what to expect. I was unprepared and the truth is that I kept thinking "this is weird..what the heck?" But I always let go into every bodywork thing so did here, too, not expecting much. When I was done I stayed on the floor feeling nice, but didn't think it outstanding.

No, that didn't happen until I got up and felt every body meridian flowing. My back felt totally free. I felt like belly dancing. And I felt like this for a few weeks. So now, I highly recommend Breema. Highly. It's magic.

And doesn't it just look so yummy?

Sigh......... Don'tcha want to get one today? I do.

Aaaaaaaahhhhh....sigh.........

We likey.

Law Of Attraction: Bodywork

One of the best ways to feel more in alignment is to be more in the body. A clear fluid body, free from accumulated stress can change a person's whole outlook on life. Ever get a massage? Remember how really really good a good one felt...like you are walking on air?

The body and mind are linked. Sometimes I wonder where one begins and another ends. If I am stressed, my body cramps up. Shoulders tense and end up around the ears. Eventually the backs goes out. I've had countless occasions where my emotional release has an impact on my physical wellbeing. One notable time was when my back was in a tweak phase. I tried everything- chiropracty, massage, yoga, etc. Nothing worked and my back was sore for a few months. Then one day I was driving in the car and I felt like screaming. So I did. I screamed, cried and yelled all sorts of obscenities for a good ten minutes; sounds like a short amount of time, but try to maintain that level of intensity for that long. When I was done, my back was totally free.

I've also experienced this in reverse. There have been times when my mind has been fretting,then I do a breathwork session, release whatever it is that I've been holding onto and I am at peace. I believe there is a reason some practitioners call it 'bodymind' rather than separating the two.

I've explored a number of different modalities and want to present a review, recommendations and links to all of them for anyone reading who is looking for tools that work in aligning themselves consciously with Law of Attraction.

Q&A 1- Law Of Attraction

Law Of Attraction

I have a dear friend who is very supportive and encouraging me with this blog and other creative endeavors. He has asked to be call Sam on here.

We come from very different backgrounds. He is a man of science and math. I am a mystic. We have formed a very close friendship over the years. He has a number of questions about all this stuff. We talked about it and thought it might be fun to do Q&A's from time to time. His first question:

Pamm, what a beautiful blog you are creating! Very moving writing and
terrific artwork to go along. I can buy in some to what you are saying about
the Law of Attraction. Certainly there is great value in positive thinking.
However I cannot reconcile “creating my own world” with the idea that “my
life has a purpose”. My spiritual belief is that the universe will help me
accomplish things only if I am moving in the direction of the purpose that
has been set for me. Can you help me with an explanation?

Sam...I'm glad you like how this is going and thanks for the compliments.

First off, I want to say that this question has brought up an issue for me that I think will bear repeating many times. Sam...I have no answers. I do not propose that anything I have written here is "truth." It's just my Truth. I don't put these disclaimers all over the place because it interferes with the flow of writing and I have this in my sidebar Welcome. But I will emphasize it from time to time. I think that there are tons of Paths to the Divine and that mine is one. It may not be, and probably isn't, for anyone else and that's fine with me. I've gotten here through years of searching...all done internally then finding universal supporting evidence in my outside world. I finding my way through my body and get my mind out of the way, then ground it here after with my brain. With everything I hear, read, whatever, I wait until it feels right in my body before I take it is "me." I encourage all to do the same.

And I am happy to answer the question as I see it.

This is more than just positive thinking, but includes positive thinking. It isn't just "let's be Pollyanna and golly things will come my way." The thing about positive thinking is that it creates a vibration. That vibration attracts that which is like it, puts us in the energetic field to rendezvous with things similar. So if you want more love but the stronger unconscious thought is that you are afraid you won't get it, you won't get it. Your vibration is "won't get love." Likewise- if you strongly believe that your life has a purpose..AND if you hold no conflicting beliefs to get in the way of that belief, then the universe will definitely support you in that belief, just like it supports every other belief. I would agree that it will provide you every opportunity as you move toward your believed purpose, probably in truly magical ways (cuz it has so much to work with).

The only place we differ is the discussion of who/what is the prime mover here. Am I hearing you correctly: are you are saying...that God, The All, The universe is something separate? Is it Fate...something/someone outside us that plans what we do? Is there a tallying, a place where it is written, a man who sits on a chair who decides all this for each of us? Or is it us, our souls, our higher selves who direct this, then us tune into, lead us to the places in the universe (which it is a part of) that bring us what we want?

Our souls are a part of Godforce to me...so yes, this can mean that the universe is "directing" me because I am a part of that universe. But to separate something out of the equation, as if we are not one, is the place I keep hearing that we differ. That, I, Pamm, am merely here acting out a script. This is an ancient discussion.

____________________________________________

And his followup question, copied from email:

Pamm, I would still like to say a few words in defense of the
concept of fate. While I agree that it is important to look within and that
there are many answers to be found there, I also think it is important to
look outside of myself for clues from the universe regarding my fate and the
purpose of my life. My spiritual belief is that if I am on the right path,
the universe will help me. If I am on the wrong path, my way will become
more and more difficult. It is important to be able to recognize and respond
to these signals. That way one can change direction before devoting enormous
amounts
of effort to a path that is flawed or fated never to be.

Sam

Again Sam, we see and feel the same thing happening but we approach it differently.

We both look for clues outside ourselves to see what we are manifesting. I see/feel that when I am on the "right" path (in other words, when I am in alignment with my desire and my Inner Being) things fall into place and they manifest. The universe is always helping me to figure out what my vibrations are in this moment, what beliefs I hold that are self defeating. I, too feel that if we get a "signal" that things aren't going right, it's important to recognize it and respond. The "flaw" you speak of is that I am not in alignment with the path and the signal I am getting is universe telling me that. The universe always brings me what I really believe about something, not what I think I believe or pretend to believe. It's a vibrational thing and vibrations don't lie.

Again, for me, it's as I stated with your first question...it's a matter of internal or externally based choice. Who/what chooses? Is there something out there that sits and plans every step of our way? If something outside us has a plan, when do we become free? If we are bound by fate then is the recognizing of the signal you speak of our choice? Is the choosing under our control? Or is that, too fated? If it's not fated, then when does Choice begin and fate stop? And who/what decides when fate stops and choice begins? For me..and only me...even with linear logic, "fate" as predetermined by some outside source, makes no sense to me...unless your belief is that everything we do, every breath we take is fated. My body feels dissonance there. This is the universe telling me that this idea is not a part of me. Hehehe....I guess I am fated to not acknowledge fate.

As far as a purpose...I think that when we find our self defined soul's purpose, we feel in alignment. Things click, the universe sings in harmony with us to support us in ways we could not imagine possible because we are one with the universe. No conflicting beliefs are interfereing with us allowing the universe to flow in us. But, again...this purpose doesn't come from outside us. The universe love us unconditionally, without hesitation. It loves us so much, it doesn't care what we do...it just goes on loving. It has no requirements of us; we put those on ourselves. We want to do service. We want to make our mark, we want to do what we can to further humanity in our own unique snowflake ways. And we do.

Law of Attraction.

On Linear And Mystic Logic

I've been reading about Fate and Choice on various blogs and in the media. I've been hearing about the controversy around "The Secret," a movie about Law of Attraction.

Each time I hear the detractors, I consider the logic being used. I introduced my ideas about this here and will return to pieces and parts of the topic over time.

Of course, Law of Attraction makes absolutely no sense at all when looked at from Linear Logic. Do the critics really think that all who see this Law think that people with cancer, for instance, my mother, would consciously create their own death from a horrible disease, creating suffering for themselves in that way? Or that anything can just be surfacely "positively thought-ed" away? Or that people who experience a natural disaster are "to blame" because they "created" a hurricane? Or that a woman in the Congo asks to be raped while her children watched? Please. Give me a break. It makes no sense at all.

It's unconscionable (not to mention rude, insensitive, and silly) to look at a child with leukemia and ask why they created this for themselves. If anyone uses this principle in this way they don't get it. If anyone uses this as an argument to refute it, they don't get it. They don't have to. What's important to me is that I do.

Linear Logic and Mystic Logic

Linear Logic (LL) cannot find answers here. I understand. And I also understand some of the critics' frustration and protective blasting because of the message that some use to get this principle across. When the idea is distorted, it can potentially and mistakenly take suffering people places that bring more pain if they operate from their linear minds. One of the tools of linear mind is blame and its opposite, forgiveness. If you start to attach blame to Law of Attraction, you get nowhere. It has no meaning and gets lost in a carnival atmosphere.

When I was in college I took numerous Philosophy classes. I took them because I saw a religion there. Like a religion, it's trying to explain existence and how to operate in it. Like a religion, it has its laws, its rules of operation, its requirements to be able to discuss itself. I heard Philosophy trying to explain God and Religion, as if they are the same thing and like Philosophy was somehow outside that.

But Philosophy cannot explain The All in any way that makes sense to me. Philosophy goes all over the place trying to explain something outside its ability to grasp, using words that cannot apply, almost flailing it it's attempts. Reminds me of a dog chasing its tail.

LL holds duality, right/wrong/, up/down, separation, as Reality. LL will only consider thought that provides tangible outside proof of LL's self defined universal principles and rules. I am not demonizing LL here. It's a vital tool and has its purpose. It's the logic that builds roads, creates industry, takes thoughts and things in a line from point A to point B. LL lives in the physical world, sees the progression of time, sees differentiation.

But without its rules, it cannot function. When it's confronted with realities outside its existence it has to try to find a way to explain what it sees. But it only has its self defined, albeit limited, tools to operate from. What happens when something outside its ability to define/explain/understand presents itself? It grasps. Because the Linear cannot see it, will not accept that this something refuses to follow the very rules which supports its survival, it freaks out. It creates systems, rules, catagories that are more comfortable to that logic. It wants comfort in the form of "making sense."

It's a different story when another form of logic is used. Linear Logic (LL) does not acknowledge a type of logic I have named Mystic Logic (ML) as valid. ML is OK with that. It encompasses and includes LL, but is more. Because of its fluid nature, it allows for and accepts LL and all that LL wants to create for itself, but does not follow it or feel bound by it, its rules or its requirements. The reverse does not hold, as LL cannot go where ML goes. It doesn't have or allow itself the tools to go there. If it did, it's rules, the glue that sustains it, would not apply so it would die.

Mystic logic see wholeness. It recognizes that duality, right/wrong, up/down, exists for those who it serves, but that in the end, everthing is One, everything is Sacred. Whereas LL has to have tons of rules to sustain itself, ML only has one: that we create our worlds completely. The rest is all expression.

Death, happiness, cancer, catastrophe, joy, ecstasy, love, murder, pain, mass murder...it's all the same. There is no heirarchy of experience, no reward/punishment factor that is meted out by god, the Akashic records, karma, fate, whatever. No experience is "bad." No experience is "good." We give things those meanings. Although tragic and horrible for her to have to go through all she did and beyond devastating to me as a human, my mother dying of cancer was not an awful thing to ML. She was born, she created, she did a life cycle, she died.

Likewise for me to win the lottery or have amazing orgasms is not a wonderful thing. They are all just "things" in the Dance of Life, having no meaning other than creation upon creation.

And why? What is the purpose of all this? Because. No bigger meaning. Creation begets creation. We return to creation.

This idea cannot make sense to LL, which has to have "importance" in its hierarchical mode. No point in even trying to explain it. This lack of a recognizable purpose to life sounds depressing, nihilistic to LL when nothing could be further from the truth. The thing about Mystic Logic is that once it's understood and accepted, much of what cannot make sense to LL suddenly becomes clear. Former mysteries are no longer mysterious. My body/mind/spirit can go places other than a line.

I think that there is a possibility that ML cannot be fully understood until it is experienced or felt. I say this because I didn't understand it fully until I went there (the only way I can express it) and embodied it. It's difficult to translate into words as words cannot get all the layers of it. I carry pieces of it back with me and can access it, but I definitely don't live there all the time (I often live in forgetting and get lost in fear). I don't say these things to stop conversation, I say them because I see no other way. Even though I try, it cannot be heard in the way it is conveyed because I cannot fully convey it.

I see/feel this relationship and energy of the two forms of logic. We all have both to varying degrees. I would like to see acknowledgement of the strengths and weaknesses of both forms of logic in disussions on the topic of Law Of Attraction. This post has spent most of its time pointing out what I consider the weaknesses of LL. This was done primarily to compare and contrast the two as an offering for different considerations to those who question or discount ML. Again, I hold LL as vital to our time here on Earth. It helps us learn, gives us structure. I believe it may be true that one can find God through the linear mind. I also admit I don't understand how that can be. I am not wired that way so it's as foreign to me as the linear mind's ideas about me.
