There is an enormous amount of what I am that is completely beyond cognition or conscious experience. Maybe I shouldn't have started typing in the first place.<br />The question remains though, in this small experience here, what to do now? <br />AndrewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-89924062116905747952015-01-21T08:16:44.072-08:002015-01-21T08:16:44.072-08:00You asked, and I want to be with you all. So, here...You asked, and I want to be with you all. So, here is my view -conclusion de-jour. I am not a teacher per se. I see we are all teachers and all students. I was part of your awakening - is it not so? This is what one wakes up to. I am consciousness, this consciousness creates the universe, the universe emanates this consciousness. I see you in the universe, you emanate consciousness that is me. It is one continuous and reciprocal creation. But so what? It has always been so. Ok, now I see it but what are we going to do now Edji? Besides smile more and feel gratitude all the time. <br />Yours,<br />AndrewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-8315583898374368142015-01-20T13:40:26.852-08:002015-01-20T13:40:26.852-08:00Beautiful, Syndria.

I can say now, without a doubt, that the simple steps that Edji describes above really do work. I am beginning to<br /><br />know the Self just as he reports. I've been his student for a year. For the first six months, I experienced wild<br /><br />energy swings, shaking, ecstasies, depressions, paranoia, grief, joy, playfulness ....all washing through me along<br /><br />with unconscious memories suddenly arising and new perspective on conscious memories and habit patterns.<br /><br />I often felt overwhelmed and lost, getting stuck in obsessively running tape loops. Sometimes, I wrote Edji many<br /><br />emails all night and day, just to have a connection and reminder that it was really ok to keep sinking into this stuff<br /><br />Edji was supportive, and unrelenting in his teaching words. No matter how many symptoms appeared in me, the<br /><br />medicine was always very simple, clear and direct: get out of my thinking loops, ignore them, turn away ; and focus <br /><br />on the I AM sensation, just stay there unless a feeling state became overwhelming; then turn into and welcome the<br /><br />emotions and physical effects; let them take me down to their bottom and stay there, until a shift happens on its own<br /><br />Because I trusted Edji, I followed these directions over and over for months.<br /><br />I still do, though in the last six months, the energy surges slowly have calmed down, as I got better at just accepting<br /><br />Whatever comes. I have started seeing my chakras and various lighted spaces within. I have more fun now<br /><br />exploring the many rooms within. I'm now having heat up in my Body and all kinds of shifts in my Subtle Body.<br /><br />Lots of new territory and still welcoming depression, fear and grief. I'm feeling less needy, more centered.<br /><br />I'm less attached to thinking, of all kinds, because inner silence is much more compelling and enjoyable.<br /><br />My greatest joy is my increasing sense of Self, just my own true Reality. For me, any emotional state or thinking<br /><br />loop, pales in the face of pure Sentience. I feel constantly blessed, both for this real change in me, and for <br /><br />having Edji's fearless example. I knew that no matter what happened to me, in me, it would never knock him over.<br /><br />I love Edji with all my being for accepting me, welcoming me as his student and as a part of his life. <br /><br />I have been truly blessed.<br /><br />SyndriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
