Recently I read an article where someone explained the method of "cursing".
The word "cursing" is a terrible choice in my view, but basically what they meant was not cursing in the sense of black magic, but in the sense of "back to sender", which many people are familiar with. They explained extensively how you could and should direct any kind of negative energy coming from outside back to the source of origin, but without attaching any negative feelings or intentions of your own. I must admit this somehow never seemed to work for me. Even if it supposedly has nothing to do with black magic but with the techniques used in Aikido, for example, it always felt black magicy to me or at least like a counter-attack. I also had the feeling that it was quite difficult not to include my own negative feelings like anger etc... On top of that; what to do with all the negativity not coming from "outside" but from "inside"? As the concept of the holographic universe entered my mind more and more convincingly, it seemed to me that the difference between outside and inside was not so clear cut and dried as it used to be. And I thought: If the universe is a hologram, and I am a hologram of the universe, then everything inside of the universe is also inside of me. That being so means: any entity trying to harm me is also inside of me. That means, if I say “back to sender” it’s like playing ping-pong with this negative energy inside of me. So I asked myself; being a hologram of the universe, what can I do to stop perpetuating the energy? And I decided to say “back to pure source” instead of “back to sender". I send or draw all of the “bad” energy including my own “bad” thoughts into my heart; the heart being the representation of the pure source of the universe; back to the fountain, whence all things arise. I send it all in there, for it to be dissolved. I call it “blessing”. For me this worked extremely well right from the first time I tried it. What started out as an ingenious "trick", a universal sweeping method for all things undesired, has almost unnoticeably developed into something more: It has become a mantra, an everlasting prayer of the heart. What happens when you use it that way is one's own intimate journey, and one I have only just begun. Thank you to the spirit who put this into my mind, I feel truly blessed. |

For the last five years I have been living a little bit like a hermit in an old railroad house, with no warm water but a warm wood stove and a garden. No car, but good animal friends and a handful of good human friends and family nearby. My life has turned more and more inward during this time. I measure distance by how long it will take me to walk somewhere. That has really changed my perception. My past seems far away. I can vaguely remember that I had a job in my profession as an occupational therapist. I love to contemplate and meditate with closed and open eyes.
Embracing the mystery Hold that one desire And on the wings of sound silence Fly to the heart of the Lord of Love [email protected] |
