Greetings!
Developing your capacity to love and heal lies in direct proportion to your capacity to recognize and understand your dark side - your lower self. Only when you uncover and work to transform your underlying destructive attitudes toward your own expansion, their cause and effect, can you set yourself free. |
Are You a Killer an Angel or Both?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have been thinking about the horrifying events that happened in Atlanta last month. Brian Nichols took a gun on March 11th and went on a rampage of murder. For those of you out of the country you may not know that this was in the news all over the States. Nichols killed several people in 24 hours including a judge. He surrendered to the police within miles of my son's home, making it feel more personal to me. No one knows what happened exactly to trigger that fury in him. What I know is that his Lower Self took charge during those killings.
Ashley Smith, the papers are calling, "an angel from God", was forced at gun point, to let Brian Nichols in to her apartment where he remained with her all night until he surrendered the next afternoon. Ashley cooked him breakfast, read to him from a spiritual book she had been reading and told him to give himself up. She befriended the man who held her captive. Ashley Smith was in her Higher Self during this time.
Really an inspiring story but I have a question. Do you think Brian is always a monstrous evil killer, or that Ashley is always a divine voice of The Almighty? I think not. This is an archetypal tale. Of a man who cracked under pressure and later made a choice to stop the dark path he was on and turn toward the Light. The tale is about a woman who chose her best self under the scariest of circumstances. What inspires me most about Ashley is that she is a struggling poor mother who had lost the ability to take care of her 5 year old daughter. She had experienced many trials in her life and had recently begun to make positive choices when Brian walked into her life.
As in any good archetypal story you can find something of it in yourself. You and I have a Lower Self and a Higher Self. You have the ability to crack under pressure and let out your most horrible of monsters. You have the ability to make choice for the Good, the Light, and express the Divine qualities that live inside you at all times.
Working with the concept of the Lower Self is one of the most powerful tools that Core Energetics has. Core Energetics teaches you how to find, express and transform the lower self qualities that are lurking, most often, beneath the surface of your awareness. I always wondered about the "nice boy" who takes a machine gun and mows down a random group of people. Or as what happened recently at Red Hook High School; a 16 year old with the monsters of his pain erupting to the surface became a killer. What is the difference between him and you? You hold your killer in and he could not. No longer able to hold in the negative impulses that pushed closer and closer to the surface the archetypal man's rage finally erupted as a spray of bullets.
Elizabeth Kubler Ross often said, "We all have a Hitler living in us." John Pierrakos said, "Let out your killer!" Of course he meant-- let it out in a safe place. Don't hurt anyone. And don't hurt yourself by holding in your rage. Expressing it safely will transform the negative energy to positive energy which allows you to feel more open hearted and loving.
What do you do with your killer energy? Holding it in will eventually do damage to you. Driving it deeply into your unconscious usually creates a dis-ease process in your body. Held over years, any type of repressed emotion can emerge as mental or physical dis-ease. Think about this: Would you rather hurt yourself than reveal your anger? Sadness? Pain?
Of course the Brian Nichols of the world are thankfully in the minority. But think of world politics and how the distorted anger of many creates war. War is simply a "legitimate" way to kill.
I am writing a small book about transforming the Lower Self. I am collecting tales from folks about their battles with the Lower Self energies. I'd love to hear your experiences. And please tell me what your questions are. What do you want to know about your Lower Self? Thank you!
What You Can Do To Transform Your Lower Self * First realize that you are a divine being * Know that your hatred, pain, rage covers over your High Self * Admit that you have negative thoughts and feelings * Express your negativities in private * Kick every day and move your angry feelings out by making sounds * Get a towel and strangle it while growling * Always end with focusing again on your desire to expand and be centered in your loving heart * Read "Fear No Evil", by Eva Pierrakos, edited by Donovan Thesenga

God Loves Pleasure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If God did not love pleasure then why are you hard- wired with many more pleasure receptors than pain receptors? Yet you, like most others, tend to get stuck in your pain. Sexuality, your most wonderful expression of pleasure, is God's gift to you, and fully experiencing your sexuality is your gift to God.
We live in a very confusing culture regarding sexuality. The media puts out overt images of sex in the most distorted of ways. At the same time, we are told by Fundamentalist religions and the political fallout they engender, that most sex is bad. Only in the holy union of marriage between heterosexual couples is being sexual OK. Not really OK or wonderful, fabulous, truly sacred, just OK.
Only through Sex can a soul enter the earth plane. This says a lot. Your body is designed to dance and to touch the lightness of God through pleasure and joy. When you move into the physical dance of love, ask your self, 'Why am I afraid to be who I am in my own body?'
What if - to NOT embrace loving sexual union as a sacred experience goes against the very nature of God. That God-Nature being Pleasure, Unconditional Love, and your Ultimate Creativity as it flows through you unafraid.
Listen to the music that your body makes. Listen to the music that two bodies make when together. Practice dancing the dance of pleasure. "And by the way, when you move into your physical loving, as you remove your clothing, take off your mind as well. It simply isn't equipped to hear the music." Emmanuel
I designed a workshop to help you evolve into a dancing, sexual, joyful being. There was so much interest in the last workshop I am repeating it in the fall. You are invited to explore your creative sexuality, love and Eros at this workshop: God Loves Pleasure: Love, Eros and Sexuality, a Core Energetics workshop. September 23-24-25, 2005.

Kick Start Your PsychoSpiritual Evolution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Feeling stuck? Want to move ahead along the road to enlightenment? Want more Joy, better sex, healthier living? I have been offering people a type of Total Immersion Therapy since 1995. After 10 years of providing this working modality for people it has proven to be very effective and a wonderful way for people to get what is needed in a short amount of time. Time spent is deep and takes courage and commitment.
Benefits to you! After experiencing Short Term Intensive Spiritual Therapy, Tom B. said "I accomplished a years worth of therapy in 3 days." An Atlanta based client said, "Doing a weeklong intensive kept me out of the hospital for sure." "A woman from North Carolina said, "I wish I had known you years ago, it would have saved me much time and distress." "I want all my friends and family to have this experience," said a man from Texas.
