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?
