Releasing seals.

[mowglycdb]

I've come to the conclusion that awakening mostly has to do with releasing diferent types of seals we have on ourselves that can be produced by fear, plans for this life, low understanding, denying existance of things, etc etc. Lately I'm trying to be more brave and be able to release the seal that has me without contact with things from etheric planes. I'm scared that I might get manipulated or attacked by some beings, so I get confused and stuff. I'm practicing in expanding my energy letting my internal energy flow freely, and being able to feel everything and feel conected to everything ( a tree, a piece of metal, the air) to recognize their energy signature and feel the life in them as you can feel it in human beings. If I keep practicing this I'll open up and conect much easier with my internal animal, and other internal guides. It's something I feel most people should be able to do, but I've come to see that a lot of people don't understand what feeling, a tree, grass or soil is like.

Interesting concept. Thanks for sharing.

i agree completely. this is partly why aswell as trying to become lucid in dreams for control purposes, i also try and just go with the flow as much as possible. this tends to be when odd things start happening and can be helpful in starting to learn to face your fears i reckon

I would agree. I'll use an analogy, its sort of vague but hopefully it can illustrate this a little. Picture you consciousness as having one energy to it, which homogenized - neither positive or negative. You will always have this energy available to you, however it gets focused into different areas. For instance, your mind and your ego have many of those "seals" that you spoke of. Beliefs, feelings, issues, thought patterns, etc, which are based around fear. Fear acts as the prime motivator, and then most of these seals come as a result of that. Usually fear = insecurity, which results in the need for control ("denying existence.") So that one energy which you have gets used up and focused into that area of your consciousness. You will be using all your energy just to perpetuate these patterns. So of course when you begin to lift these seals, that same energy is no longer being used up and is allowed to expand into other areas. So all sorts of amazing things can begin to unfold. Increased sensory information, connection to other life forms, psychic phenomenon, connection to etheric planes. Its like having a spring coiled up your whole life and then finally letting it unwind a little. Most people have very compacted springs. Their minds are in fear mode, albiet maybe unconscious, so they use their energy up just trying to be in control.

Yes I agree with you, I was talking with my in waking life guide, and he told me that yeah, energy isn't unlimited ( I thought it was unlimited, just limited for very short period of time), so interesting things may happen if you use it for other things than fear patterns.

Very interesting concept indeed, releasing seals, sounds cool! Wilhelm Reich called it "releasing emotional blockages" and had a whole psychological theory build around this, which grew out to be the body language theory.

I agree with what your doing, minus the seals part. I don't know if there are any seals but if there are I'm sure its probably not a good idea to be breaking them. I believe you can achieve what you desire without doing this. Anyhow, its good to see people exploring their spirituality.

You should read about Kundalini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fears and blockages which prevent you from becoming more aware. So in this case, breaking them is a good thing. Or "removing" if that sounds better

Just a pinpoint abobut Kundalini, I had a strong drift of Kundalini awakening in about June. It was simply incredible, but my body and mind weren't ready for that passing without harm. I'm still recovering from it and I strongly advise everyone to keep from "going too far". Do not be afraid to stumble upon it by chance, at least in my case I clearly had "busted off the ceiling and rocketed up for the space beyond the sky", it wasn't something to be unlucky and to encounter it "on a whim of destiny" or whatever. Just be aware of your limits and respect them. That is my personal advice. And also, even though I had damages from it, it was the strongest experience I've ever had and it was great for my spiritual, mental, emotional and even physical development, please don't take my words as some "stay away from releasing your seals". Also, I totally agree with you, mowglycdb.

Interesting stuff.. And a no-nonsense symbolic concept at that! I like it.. I'd like to hear more about your idea on 'awakening', though.. I'm not sure what to make of it. Is it anything like 'enlightenment' or 'understanding', or is it more woo-woo? And yeah.. You might wish to read a bit about the Tibetan book of the dead as well.. Aside of all the crazy notions of reincarnations and the like, it does happen to fit quite nicely in this idea. It deals with how your ego might react to the stages of enlightenment through the experience of death, all wrapped up in a nice mythology and symbology. And yeah.. Kundalini.. It's not a woo-woo concept of "awakening power chakras" and "ooohh primal energy, shiny!". The yogis and yoginis of old didn't practice it day and night their entire lives just to come up with those simplistic notions. It's much more complex than that. As for the previous poster: there's a reason why its process of enlightenment is supposed to pass through all the chakras, one at a time ;p. Think of it as an ancient symbolic variant of the 'loading bar': you can't just jump to the 'enlightenment seventy percent completed' mark when you haven't gotten to thirty percent yet. First comes physical security, then physical sexual desire has to be "conquered" (not really.. but you should at least become non-governed by it), then come the emotions and fear (yup, there it is..), then come a whole bunch of even more complex things I haven't even sorted out myself, etc., etc. And then in the end you become enlightened. So much so that you realize that enlightenment is actually everywhere. Not just in Bohd Gaia, not just in the east, but right there in you mind. And not even just in calmness and sitting cross-legged. Hell no! Enlightenment is there, wherever you are. In motion. Through whatever emotion you experience. Even in sex (tantric yoga, anyone?) So yea.. The paradoxes of life make it interesting, right? ;p.
