Dropping In

“Dropping in.”  Term used in healing modalities when the body relaxes, the mind and ego fall away and higher consciousness is revealed.  The feeling is extraordinary.  The senses are heightened and the inner listening is so great that nothing disturbed the essence of the calling back to Source.

What came out of this meditation today:

Through the darkness God/Source/Universe’s presence is so much greater.  Source is so good, the power so great, it is hard to comprehend.  Is it so that we go through darkness to see God in fullness, for clarity, and resolve?

Think of all the greats, the blessed ones?  They all went through dark nights, paths of pain, and continued towards the Source’s light.  In fact they recognized Source as a “coming home” with the greatest amount of security wrapped in perfect faith.

When you experience these dark periods, how do you react?

What is it about the path of darkness or “dark night of the soul’s journey” that seems so overwhelming, intolerable?  Is it because the light seems too perfect, unattainable, or even denied.  Self worth, self love, Ego as maniacal and running rampant. Do you think these play a role?

Oh I do!  For sufferings are the stepping-stones on the great path.  The walk through the fire initiates your soul. 

The ego can get us in these dark periods and in ways can get us out.  Ego is part of how we make decisions, instincts, self-preservation and creativity.  “The ego contains our capacity to master large amounts of material within consciousness and to manipulate them”.  Murrya Stein “Jung’s Map of the Soul”

It is usually the ego trying to defend itself within the darkness-the self will.  It is as if God/Source/Universe must humble you, to help you through the void. 

Are you willing to let go and “drop in”?
