A great book by Les Fehmi with an amazing meditation CD.
I have been listening to the CD two or three times a day for a few days now.
Today I crawled out of everything and into infinity.
I became enormous and filled up all the space in the universe.
I felt all things, those that are living and those that are inanimate, at once.
I can do anything.

You have to listen to it. It moves you from looking at the tiny details of things (as we bipolars tend to do) to seeing the big picture. I find it makes me feel absolutely wonderful for a few hours. Each time it seems to last longer.

Nirvana, enlightenment, etc...that is so cool...enjoy it while it lasts!
I went bonkers once from several days of enlightenment. It got to be too much to handle...ever tiny thing meant something important and I just couldn't keep up.
Guess that's why they advise against trying to raise the Kundalini without proper preparation. In fact, in the mythology of it, it CAN make you crazy!

My biggest problem seems to be over anylizing everything, crawling inside each event and taking it apart. The idea behind this is to remain aware of everything else, how you are ocnnected to the universe, all the time before and still to come... and not get lost in one event.

Shen, that was exactly my prob...every single thing was of utmost importance and I had to process the most minute details. Got to be too much for my brain to handle.
Where in NJ? Still fascinates me...next time I will handle it better, hopefully.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
