When both participants are sincere in their desire to 'clear themselves of harmfulness' I truly believe the process can be sped up enormously. There are however many catches which could just as easily aggravate matters. I have spoken about some of the catches in earlier articles (see links above). This page deals with some recent discoveries I have made during the process of 'connecting harmlessly' with someone. INTEND TO CONNECT HARMLESSLY I'm quite amazed at what is being activated due to the intent to connect to someone in a harmless fashion. It strengthens me in the idea that there really is some kind of natural mode to clear each others field when you allow yourself to tune into that reality. Sometimes I wonder what all this has got to do with the biological ascension process and what could be the use of this for readers of this site. Wouldn't I better add a few quotes by Mila or refer to some recent articles or talk about the Anu a bit more? But for me it feels right to explore this territory here, since I believe that a lot of harm has been done between the sexes and any approach that may lead to a partial healing of these wounds is worth exploring. As for the intent to connect harmlessly with someone else there is the danger of adopting the thought that the relationship is a goal in itself, which I think is not a constructive idea. For me it works better to regard a relationship in which two people intend to connect harmlessly as a means to raise your own vibration by becoming both more creative and less distorted. That is the goal and not to have a relationship. Of course this doesn't mean that you cannot fully enjoy the flow in such a relationship. THE HEART CHAKRA In a SSOA-article by Monika Gasson called 'My On-going Journey of Opening my Heart' I read a few interesting aspects that could function as an introduction to this topic together with a South African Blog that talks about the heart and its role in the ascension process: Opening the Heart might sound strange at first, but it really is where it all starts. Opening the heart is paramount to hearing clear guidance from within. Tune into the heart and listen. What does one’s heart have to say? Opening your Heart The heart chakra is generating all the other chakras. If it is very small or does not function properly, all the other chakras will be affected. My On-going Journey of Opening my Heart In a Tao transmission from May 2002 (which has now been removed from ascendpress.org, probably because it has grown Obsolete in Mila and Oa's perspective, I link to a remaining copy on the internet) we can read beautiful words about the role of the Heart in the ascension process: Each human has a childhood story. No one story is any more important than any other. Each story has its moments of great pain and fear. As each goes back in time to confront the original closing of the heart, one may begin to peel the heart open again. Such a goal is vital to one's ascent, for without an open heart, it is difficult to master initiations beyond a certain level, as there is simply not enough chi flowing through the field. The heart is the transducer of chi, moving chi through the sexual energy system, which crosses in the heart. Without an open heart, the sexual energy cannot move, and if it cannot move, one will fail to ascend beyond a certain threshold, or create an incomplete ascension for oneself. One also will fail to enter the joy and love possible through ascension, for experiencing the joy and love requires an open heart. What is all of the good of the labor involved in processing one's ancestral karma if one then cannot go on to experience the joy? Opening the heart is the one area that so many initiates wish to schism over, primarily because it hurts. Yes, there is pain inside of the heart that caused it to close. And yes the pain is felt as it is moved so that the heart can open. However, as the pain passes, increasing joy and freedom is felt. Therefore the outcome is positive, even if the opening causes a temporary time of discomfort. An Important Message From The Tao The only thing that I can add to these words is that I have found it a wonderful experience to feel your heart starting to pulsate in front of your chest. It was great to allow my 'translating center' to open up a better communication line with the heart center. It truly felt as if this heart center was thrilled to finally be able to communicate without too much distortion in between. A practical thing that helped me in further opening up (at least for some time) my heart chakra was my willingness to tune into the open heart of someone I wanted to connect with. Apparently through tuning into the open heart of someone else during a certain situation, my own heart was better able to open up as well. RECOGNIZING CLOSED HEART BEHAVIOR Once you have opened your heart to a certain degree it is bound to close down again. Once you have experienced this situation of an open heart it is however more likely that you would want to open it again, for it feels great. This could make you better understand what the characteristics are of your behavior when you function with a less open or closed heart. Today I was asked: "What does your heart tell you about that closed-heart behavior?" and as soon as I was able to listen I could only hear the longing of the heart to remove the closed-heart behavior out of my system. CONCLUSION The intent to harmlessly connect with someone is like a magical formula to me. It seems to open up a natural flow to start clearing each others field, if one is able to bypass all the attachments, distortions, pitfalls and mechanical behavior patterns that are connected to this interpersonal encounter. If you have a well-functioning 'translating center' that is able to uphold its awareness to the signals of your various 'intraselfular parts' you are likely to experience a spiritual roller coaster ride. For me a sign that my 'translating center' is functioning properly is the presence of a deep breath. I wonder what else is in store for us. In the meantime I intend to enjoy the ride as much as I can! I started a thread on this topic at Noble Dreams Forum.
