My goodness, Open, this is very detailed and fascinating. Your sharing is much appreciated.

You'll hopefully forgive my overactive imagination in turning to an episode of game of thrones, where a creature known as a wight is released from a crate to a shocked audience to demonstrate what they are dealing with.I can picture a similar scenario in a rugged Openhand group, where in meditation we are alternatively exposed to higher and lower energies to discern the difference. Like the challenges on a Divinicus retreat, this could constitute being thrown in at the deep end. I know it's impractical and the slow patient work towards Kundalini and increasing higher self realisation is a more desirable path.

I know exactly what you mean by a presence being humorous, attunements have had me giggling. This is a fantastic post, I shall certainly be more cautious and aware in future. I wonder whether a further precaution might be to give the chakras a thorough cleansing after each meditation, whether that helps.

Thank you.

Andy
