loving beyond the damage we carry

If you ever wonder if
there are such things
as miracles in this
world
just know that today
I stood without a
drug in my vein or
booze in my belly and
let someone love me.

Sometimes loving beyond
the damage we carry is
the only heaven we’ll
know.

"She rises when the sun sets and goes immediately to her table
where she plays her game of patience until she grows hungry,
until she becomes ravenous. She is so beautiful she is
unnatural; her beauty is an abnormality, a deformity, for none
of her features exhibit any of those touching imperfections
that reconcile us to the imperfection of the human condition.
Her beauty is a symptom of her disorder; of her soullessness."
- the lady of the house of love

Creative Imagination

Creative imagination enables the mind to create images and scenes associated with the meditation purpose. These created images should be in three-dimensional form. They are like a highly-concentrated daydream, or perhaps even an actual dream in which you become completely absorbed within the framework of your senses and inspired scenes, losing awareness of the ordinary world around you. This creative imagination, or ‘imaginative cognition’ is the key to opening spiritual doors.

Eventually your creative meditational exercises will evolve into actual spirit contact. Initially in mediation, you are observing yourself experiencing a particular situation or imagining how it should be experienced. Whereas, within a true shamanic trance, you are actually existing within the realm of your imaginative consciousness and are able to experience everything directly.

Your soul will learn to permeate ideas, images, and symbols in meditation in order to gain entrance into the soul-spirit realm. As you develop the ability to imagine a union with your meditation symbols, you begin making transitions from the pictures to their supersensible origins. You are moving from a passive to a conscious awareness interaction when both your work and exercises begin to take this form.

You are able to open doors through your imagination, and will eventually be able to explore through inspiration. This will open you to direct spiritual perceptions as opposed to perceptions and/or images that must be translated. Hypnagogia is the experience of the transitional state between wakefulness and sleep. A light trance is a relaxed state of being. A consciousness that is both relaxed and aware will easily open the doors to nonphysical influences. In deeper levels of trance, you may become unconscious to your surroundings, more so like going to sleep. It is infinitely more beneficial to develop and control your faculties than to be used as a channel. Maintaining your awareness and ability to control spiritual contact is crucial when accessing the soul realm.
