Okay, this one happened on the last day of the September retreat, and it's the one that is haunting me. Haunting, but not in a frightening way, just an awesome way. I'm in awe.
This was the last retreat, on the evening before we all left. There were 6 of us including Dorothy, and she asked us to picture a 6 pointed star, points at each woman there. I don't remember if she put on music before we talked or not, but I do remember that she asked each of us what energies or guides we were inviting to be with us. She asked me first.
Just before she asked me, I was "seeing" (visioning) a room just slightly to the left of the one we were in, and just a tiny bit higher. The room was the same, but faded, not as firm as the one we were in. There were 6 women in that one too, sitting next to or behind each of the women beside me. The 6 pointed star touched each of them, and overlapped the 6 pointed star that touched each of us. The figures were fuzzy, I don't know if they looked like us or not, but they were most definitely experiencing a meditation the same as we were.
I've mentioned before that I've been aware of the parallel Universes all of my life. I didn't know what they were, didn't have a name for them, but knew there was something more. This experience was the first time I've actually SEEN the 2 worlds connected, and experienced it. The two worlds were, for a time, touching and encroaching on each other. I know we can wander between worlds, and I've done a lot of it, but never before have I seen them completely meshed, joined, being ONE.
I wonder if they saw us too? Or if each of the women in the other world, was somehow attached to one of my sisters sitting in the circle at Dorothy's?
This vision is still strongly with me, I haven't seen anything more like that, but it still feels very real. I can close my eyes and picture it, and I'm back there. It sounds simple, but it isn't, it's one of the most profound things I've experienced.

At Dorothy Starlite's
A few weeks ago I went to a retreat at Dorothy Starlite's. She's been my teacher for many years, and has a sweet home very high up in the Colorado Rockies. Elk, Deer, and red foxes regularly go through her yard, and in the morning we often hear the Elk bugling in the hills above her place. It's magical, beautiful, and with Dorothy's guidance, deeply spiritual. Each of us who comes to the retreats here, is on a quest to grow, to stretch our beliefs, to question everything, to find the Spirit in the deepest part of us. We're called the Sisterhood of the Medicine Heart, and truly we are in each other's hearts.
I had several etheric experiences, of which I'll write the first one here, and others another time. In one meditation session, we were looking for guides to show us an archetype. I used the guides I've used for years, and suddenly "saw" another one. I saw a man, wearing a long beige trenchcoat, carrying a suitcase. The suitcase fell open and out spilled all of the religious, all sciences, the Cosmos, all visions, all parts of who I am. I came to me that I am The Mystic Traveler. That's my archetype. An exploration of all of the above, not in a physical sense so much as in a spiritual/meditative sense. I'm going to be exploring that archetype more over time. Is anyone reading this, also feeling that they travel in the ether? I'd love to hear what others are seeing and hearing and experiencing.
Dorothy at one point challenged us to meditate on the question, "What If Everything Is Possible?". At first during the meditation I was in a lot of pain (injured knee & other stuff, likely old age), and I resented being held in my body. I was drawn into focusing on those things I used to be passionate about, i.e., first piano, then flying. Neither of those is still open to me, since my hands & feet don't cooperate very well. However, once I got a bit deeper, I realized that it isn't just piano or airplanes that I miss, it's the PASSION that came with them. Those events, those learnings, are in the past, but Passion isn't. So what's my Passion now? I think seeking God (in any sense of that word), or maybe some activity that leaves me completely absorbed. Maybe a lover? Maybe a cause? Maybe teaching Reiki and more advanced healing techniques? I want to be open to finding that passion, as I know it will overcome the pain and fragility of my age.
So, okay, here's my Atman Project. An Atman Project is anything that replaces God, whilst I'm on the Path to God. PAIN is my Atman Project! Transmuting pain is my goal. I can do this through the Heart Center, which has no preconceptions, no preferences, no opinions, no agenda. It will connect my ego with my soul.
I am a healer on the way to God, and will work at transmuting the pain to the point where it no longer interrupts that path. I am dedicated to remaining open to new ways to find God in my life. It feels right to wait for a "calling", instead of figuring it out. Thus, I'm to remain open and watchful, but not projecting.
So all of that (and more to come at a later time) are a part of my path in the current & parallel Universes. Multi-verses? I think there are many.
Does any of this connect with anyone?
