Laurie Boggs's Post

Hello Laurie.. I read your post.. you are on your way to healing... I can feel it... I copied and pasted information from my website for you.... I have this info up because I healed my life by being in right brain mode for long periods of time... I hope you don't mind.. it does mention God and Jesus... It helped me.... I'm sending loving healing energy your way too... Blessings, Holly

THIS IS ONLY CERTAIN PARTS TAKEN OUT .. I HOPE IT FLOWS OKAY. I HAVE MORE INFO IF YOU WANT IT....

The inner Self is the clearest, loving teacher we can find. How I found peace in the mind was my creativity. I would paint and draw for up to 8 hours a day. I was desperate to heal my emotional wounds of the past that were now showing up in the body. With painting, I would lose 'me' in it, I would feel and see my spirit outside of the body moving with the body. I would always be brought to tears from the beauty of having 'no thoughts' and feeling this incredible energy running through me - this is when I started to hear my intuition the loudest. Well, as time went on... I had healed my emotional and physical wounds through being in the right brain mode for long periods of time. The right brain is our healer. We don't need to go through something outside of us, like a machine or a physical teacher, unless we haven't reached that part of us that is the teacher.

1. You have a creative/spiritual side of your mind (right brain). The spiritual side of the mind doesn't mean religious beliefs. Religious belief is information describing who you are to 'you' and that is stored as a memory. Your creative/spiritual side is living in the now. Experiencing your Self without any definitions and feeling incredible love in the experience.

(When I paint, the 'I' literally is lost. I am not thinking about who I am. My mind stops its chatter and I am just in the moment being free of any debilitating thoughts of the past or worries of the future).

With the right side of the brain, you do not have any judgements or beliefs or repetitive thoughts. You are at one with the moment of now. You tap into your creativity and you are expanding the moment through experiencing consciousness without any baggage attached to it. The right side of the brain is where all of your spiritual experiences happen. There are no boundries because you are not aware of boundries; your mind stops defining things, it is just creating in the moment.

God Consciousness is creating in the moment without any limitations (God doesn't have limitations). We are in human form, so there are limitations to us through this but when you are in your creative/spiritual brain you do not feel the limitations. You are one with God.

When you don't have any judgements or beliefs or repetitive thoughts of your past, you do not have any of the negative emotions. When you release your judgements, beliefs and repetitive thoughts, the only emotion you experience is bliss (happiness, joy, love), the rhythm of life creating. Life loves life. Life wants more life. The rhythm of life is always creating itself bringing newness to the experience. This is the space to get into to heal your life through God. You need to release your judgements, beliefs and repetition of thought. You need to get out of your logical/rational mind. You need to release the subconscious mind's power over you (old memories, repetitive thoughts, etc.).

This is why meditation works for a lot of people, it suspends thoughts and releases the subconscious mind's chattering. Some people have a hard time with meditation so I suggest finding a creative outlet to get you into the creative/spiritual mind; something that makes you lose yourself in the moment.

2. When you are without negative emotions (caused by judgements, beliefs, old memories, repetitive thoughts) your body's chemistry changes. It is not in the stress mode of living in the logical/rational mind. Your body can begin to heal itself without the constant added pressures of the negative emotions.

3. When people are in their creative/spiritual mind they will hear their intuition and experience inspirations which increases their knowledge and their consciousness (they are not living in the same consciousness they started with which was really a unconscious consciousness - living through memories, beliefs, repetitive thoughts). They are tapping into the mind of God.

4. Increased knowledge and consciousness is from information received through the Divine/Universal Intelligence. Information, using the 'scientific' explanation, travels via light frequencies (you cannot see the light energy with your physical eyes). Everytime you increase your consciousness, you increase your light frequency readings in the mind and body. More light is added to the mind and body. The light frequencies are energy. You are adding more energy to the body. Light frequencies are information. You are adding more information to the body. When you add more light, more energy, more information to the body you are adding more life to the body. You are tapping into the divine flow of God and adding more love into the body.

5. God is light. God is love. God is life. God is energy. God is Universal Intelligence.

6. The more you live through your creative/spiritual mind, the freer you are of the human conditions and conditionings. You are living more through God Consciousness. You will experience life more in the 'now'. You will feel your oneness with God. You will see the divine healing power of your Spirit working in your life.

7. Soon, the majority of your life will be seen through this side of the mind (spirit mind). Your mind's chatter will decrease. You will love more deeply. You will enjoy life more. Your relationship with God will expand into a more meaningful experience and you will feel blessed to know this awesome gift of the human experience.

As you can see 'receiving the light, accepting the light' really is receiving/accepting God. Christ Consciousness is living in the spirit mind, knowing your oneness with God (the way Jesus's energy lives now). The spirit mind is where the healing miracles happen because once you start living in this mind, you will then begin to know your power as a Spiritual Being - to call forward your healing with this creative energy (light, love, life, information - God).

Nice articulation of a complex topic, Laurie. I relate, on many levels.
Going deep seems the key, by whatever method works. I'm doing biofeedback aided meditation, going for "heart coherence", and it takes me back to early life, frequently.
Patience with this process, and setting an intention of acceptance for what emerges, or doesn't, has made it easier.
It's still a "Dirty Job" in some senses, facing the untidy, out-of-control aspects of my inner terrain and its inhabitants. I drank, alcoholic-style, for years to shut off the awareness, put that down 21 years ago, and the debris keeps floating up. I fish these bits out, bless them, and set them in the light of compassionate awareness. Most fade quickly, though some have amazing tenacity. Those, I wonder about; are they deep karmic artifacts, multi-lifetime challenges?
In some ways, I'm an archeologist of my own past.
I must remember to leave the "dig" regularly, though, and have some fun in the Here/Now. Spring comes to the mountains, and joy is evoked.

Blessed Be, in all your Workings,

Hi Lauri,

Thank you for your blog. I'm responding to your request for ". . . suggestions for me on how to go deeper to heal . . ."

The best I can do is share my experience about how I went deep within myself through my dream life to heal and take cocreative control of my involuntarily conditioned beliefs, values, attitudes, intentions, processes and behaviors and the results to date.

First, I cannot emphasize too much the importance of living a healthful life style to provide a vital foundation for one's deep inner explorations. I wish I had known that when I first embarked on my inner trip down the rabbit hole because I feel it would have made the trip less treacherous, less complex, more meaningful and useful earlier. For more on my balanced and moderate approach to an integrally healthful lifestyle you may want to read my SIA Share cited in the references below (Johnston 2006).

Tipped off in college by Sigmund Freud's assertion that "Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious" (1899), I used my dreams to access my deep psyche (soul), repository of memories of my earliest conditioning from past incarnations through conception and maturation in this one.

Influenced by depth psychologist and psychiatrist Carl Jung (1958), I began in the early 60s to keep a dream journal which I used to write down and analyze my dreams, watching for patterns of feelings and thoughts.

Later, I found blending Jungian analysis with the psychosynthesizing methods of psychiatrist Roberto Assagioli (1965; 1967; 1973) of great benefit in helping me learn to center, balance, transcend, liberate, own, include and healthfully and cocreatively self-manage my response(s) to them. I found my insights and options unfolded four-dimensionally -- height, depth and width of feelings, thoughts and actions -- all organized around my soul-center.

A book to which I wish I had access earlier is neuroscientist Candace Pert's Molecules of Emotion (1997). Not only is it a great read, she has a section on how she organizes her dream journal and responds to her dreams which I have found very useful as a complement to Jung and Assagioli. Basically she draws two columns, in one of which she describes the script acted out in the dream and in the other she correlates the feelings she experienced. For more information you may want to read the section "Tapping Into Your Dreams", pages 290-292 in her book.

Basically, I now use the same affirmational meditative process for analyzing and synthesizing the dualities in my dreams, as I do for experiences in other aspects of my life. In fact, if you have read some of my SIA blogs and shares over the years you may recognize my process. Adapted to processing my dreams it goes as follows:

AFFIRMATIONAL MEDITATION PROCESS
Consistent with the discussion above, I have found the following affirmational meditation process useful in my daily practice to clear and keep clear my soul of unwanted involuntarily learned contents, such as beliefs, values, behaviors which may be blocking my experience of oneness with our Source and other beings, peace, contentment, inherent health, free thinking, cocreativity, and empathetic communications effectiveness, etc.

A) I am a vital center of our infinite ageless Source of all, as is/are all the soul(s) I am communicating with. At the highest, deepest and broadest of our existence we are all interconnected (just as fish in an ocean are all connected, permeated and nurtured by the water wherein they swim).

B) I am not any temporal feeling, thought, behavior, identity or possession portrayed in my dreams;

C) I transcend, own and include in my repertoire all my temporal feelings, thoughts, identities, behaviors and possessions expressed in my dreams as options;

D) I intend to co-creatively manage the use of my options in a way mutually healthful to myself, other entities, and our ecosystem;

E) I am open to feedback from the other(s) through my body, dreams, other entities and ecosystem on how well I am doing relative to my intentions. I make adjustments to my intentions and actions as wanted.

Once I've completed clearing myself of attachments, identifications and addictions to temporal beliefs, values, attitudes, motives, behaviors and possessions I center and balance myself as a base for scoping my freest range of healthful options.

CENTERING, SCOPING AND INTEGRATING DUALITIES ON A CONTINUING BASIS

Through using the above-described affirmational meditation process since about 1966 I have come to experience the ultimate realization of redemption of my primal transtemporal window-glass-clear soul (psyche), hence, oneness with our timeless Source. Thus, being integrally and healthfully free of attachments, identifications and addictions to temporal beliefs, values, attitudes, intentions, processes, behaviors and material possessions, I enjoy deploying them conjointly with our timeless cocreative Source within healthful parameters. Consequently:

o I experience all situations, including my dreams, from my free cocreative inner ‘place’ of centered, peaceful, balanced, healthful, contented, transparent, timeless consciousness,

o My every interpretation of each perception is an option on continuaa bridging and integrating dualities.

o My every response to every interpretation is an option with consequences for which I am accountable only to the extent I have personal control of those consequences.

o Each consequence may be controllable, only influenceable, or completely uncontrollable, relative to realizing mutually empathetic communications, integral health and understanding.

o In light of all the above, I am consciously aware the widest scope of my existentially available options for empathetic inter-entity communications includes five families of choices: compete, transcend, participate, flee, and resignation to 'fate', the centermost option being to empathetically participate with the other(s) in trusting and open communications (Johnston 2006).

Laurie, I've done my best to give respond to your question in at least digest fashion. I'll be glad to try to clarify anything you would like.

Yours with empathy and trust in evidence-based integral natural science and our seemingly infinite, timeless, caring, omnipresent mysterious Source of all consciousness and healing.

Bob

Laurie,

I won't say I know how you feel, because I have not walked your life.
I am a father, and a son, so I understand some aspects of what you have been through.

I believe we generally know what we're in for during each incarnation before we enter it. It seems easy to handle, but when we actually go through it here, without the remembrance of the being we have always been, it leaves us vulnerable and feeling alone.

I also think that the more a soul progresses, the more difficult (and beautiful) the lessons get. Always keep in mind that your are an embodiment of the creator, and can never be separated. You are infused with the great mystery that is pure love, compassion, and forgiveness. Our wounds only reflect the pruning of our souls. To grow, we must sometimes be cut back.

Mitakuye Oyasin,

Jon
