What I have experienced is quite hard to describe fully and accurately in words (limited terms) because it is sooo expansive.
I have experienced My energy exchanges most often in dream or trance state but on a few occasions also in a full waking state.
A few years ago as I was returning home from a sex hunt, I was pondering physical sex and how no matter how much I have, I want more. Sex is wonderful and totally enjoyable to Me but it just never fully satisfies Me. I think We have All heard the joke about sex and Chinese food, a couple hours (minutes) later We want more.
I often think/believe that life is a metaphor of everything else that exists. So, I was pondering sex from this perspective. I started imagining merging with another on a much deeper level, physically yet more.
About a year or so ago I started dreaming of what I had been describing/thinking of as energy exchanges. Basically, two people stand face to face and send each other energy and then (in an ethereal way) the two bodies begin to merge like two drops of water. It is a very sexual feeling without what We think of as any type of sex act. Of course, physical sex can be included, but that is rather anti-climatic (oops).
Shortly after dreaming of this, I experienced it with a co-worker (what started as a stare down) and We were both totally shocked and amazed. Then within a few days I observed the same thing happening between others in the grocery store. It's amazing to experience and/or to watch.
For Me, this doesn't replace sex, it expands on sex.

http://www.blogtalk radio.com/ gmayer/2009/ 03/23/gateways- to-2012
I really enjoyed last nights show and I hope everyOne gets the opportunity to listen to the archives and tune-in to future shows.
I was especially interested in the conversation about being sensitive and "feeling" other's energy.
Since everyOne else is a part/aspect/version of OurSelf,
http://www.google.com/search?q=another+aspect&sitesearch=reconnections.net
http://www.google.com/search?q=Oneness&sitesearch=reconnections.net
this is another form of shadow work which We may very well be doing without being the least bit aware of exactly what We are doing.
I especially like DJ's comment about letting the energy pass through Us like the wind through a screen door. I remembered hearing/reading this before so I searched it on Reconnections:
http://www.reconnections.net/are_you_experienced.htm
In re-reading this I also noticed the recognition that "We lie back on Our pillow". Sometimes that is the only thing We can do and it is exactly what We need.
Audrey ( http://fromheadtoheart.squarespace.com/latest-postings/ ) sometimes uses the phrase: "when I feel this, All I can do is go to bed and let the energy have Me."
I think many of Us use this technique, again some being aware of what is happening but many are not aware and think: "something is wrong with Me".
I was also struck with the idea that feeling tired and rung out is an e-motion as is spoken of in this article.
This weekend I was reminded that I Am a sensitive and that when I Am feeling dis-stress in My body (for no apparent reason) I need reminding that I Am a sensitive. Since I know that I Am not unique I wondered how many others need this reminder? Also, I went many, many years without knowing I was a sensitive. I wonder how many here are not yet aware that "they" are sensitive and that "they" do feel the energy and emotions of others as well as the energy and e-motions of Gaea?
I spent a lot of time not knowing (and then not being willing to admit) that I Am an em-path.
http://www.google.com/search?q=empath&sitesearch=reconnections.net
again, I'm sure that others are in this boat. We often think We are being grandiose when We recognize such things about OurSelves, but the truth is that We are just being honest.
I would love to hear more from others about learning to let this energy flow through Us like wind through a screen door. Some suggestions on "how" would be appreciated by MySelf (and others I'm certain). If You feel You have no experience to share, remember the line from Illusions (by Richard Bach) "We teach best, what We most need to learn."
I Am currently feeling a blockage of energy at My root chakra. It's a pressure that started in My lower back and stomach region and is slowly moving down My body. I real-eyesed yesterday that it is energy that entered My body (probably at My crown) and needs/wants to flow through (or be channeled) into the earth. I have no idea why I blocked it or exactly what energy it is or where it came from, but I Am very willing to open up to let it move on.

Dreams #64
Written 3/21/09
It was a knight filled with sex,
and I was the knight in shining ??????? (nothing?)
It was All in My dream worlds of course, in the physical I was never young enough to have that much energy. Yesterday I told a friend I was feeling spring energy, I had no idea. And in My dream realities everyOne was feeling it with Me. It started out about changes and new beginnings and sex, then it turned into All sex, which was OK with Me.
In My first dream I joined a state congress to be and to begin the changes I felt We need. This was obviously a dream, because in My waking world this is the very last thing I would ever "dream"(?) of doing.
The state congress was being controlled by an outside force (possibly the national congress) and "they" were being ridiculed and punished for even thinking about making positive changes that would benefit the worker bees. It would seem that the state congress was very courageous considering making these changes, but really "they" had no backbone because "they" had completely succumbed to the chastisement of the controlling force. This outside force had not needed to use any physical force to overwhelm the state, only veiled threats.
Now, I will state that All this does mirror My 3D opinions of politics, but I totally choose to remove MySelf from this activity. That is My choice and I Am NOT suggesting anyOne follow My lead here. My dream effort would appear much more noble and worthy of emulation.
As soon as I joined congress I moved right in and took over. EveryOne in congress followed My lead and We made a game out of the ridicule that the outside force was imposing. We played this game and turned it into a movement to begin passing laws that were actually for the good of the people. We also began making suggestions that people could choose to follow, or not, rather than strictly mandating behavior.
Then a friend of Mine from junior high and high school showed up. I was very excited because I have often (in the many years since) thought about this friend. I have felt We were both reaching for each other through the years and across space. "They" had been searching for Me and had saved a lot of My writings from over the years. I was very surprised because I had no idea these writings still existed and I remember very clearly SEEING the pages and pages filled with My Own handwriting (if You can call My scribble handwriting). Something else worth noting is that I rarely SEE anything in My dreams and this was One of the few scenes from this series of dreams that was visual.
I asked this friend what "they" thought of Our reformed congress and frankly "they" were quite bored with the whole affair. I remember being perturbed by this and even thought about leaving this out of My narrative. However, as I pondered My writing I real-eyesed that this person mirrored My 3D opinion of politics.
I quickly decided to ignore "their" reaction to My political feat because it was sooo wonderful that "they" had found Me and brought Me these writings which I thought I had lost forever. We walked out into the public seating area (which was like an amphitheater) locked in deep conversation. Leaving congress to it's Own devices.
When We got into the the public area the sex began. Let Me tell You, Rome had nothing on Us!!!! The halls of congress have never been so filled with enthusiastic participants. The backrooms and closed door sessions perhaps, but not the congressional gatherings We see on TV or read about in the papers or even on the Internet news.
I woke from this dream and wondered how I could possibly share this with everyOne. When I returned to sleep, My dreams continued to be filled with sex, lots and lots of sex but it wasn't as graphic as the first dream. Lots of orgies and much public sex still throughout the night, but it didn't feel as graphic. When I woke, I knew this was how I could share, by not being as graphic. For those of Us in the northern hemisphere, I think Your Own spring energy will fill in the graphics quite nicely. For those in the south, I hope Our spring energy will infect You to Your heart's desires.
Happy changes and new (nude??? maybe New-D) beginnings to All. I like that idea, lets make the next dimension We explore the NewD dimension.

Thots 3/20/09
What helped Me (and I theel might be helpful for others also) was to real-eyes that YES these visions/feelings are real, "they" are valid and "they" are important BUT "they" are not the only reality/possibility/future. I say future because these horrors (which I have only glimpsed and some are getting the full brunt of) are beyond anything yet experienced in 3D.
In the past, We (masses and even New agers) have either banished these visions as the dark side which would be defeated by light, or accepted "them" as the only potential which might be survived by a select few.
Visionaries have the potential of being the fulcrum, the balance point of All the potentials, or succumbing to the limitation of "either this or nothing".
I Am noticing similarities and common ages amongst some of Us experiencers. Several whom I Am hearing this from are around 40 and I was in My 40s when I went thru the worst of My terrors.
Again from "Dune" the Reverend mother says to Paul: "You are the fulcrum boy. You are the One who can be many places at Once." Paul had terrible, catastrophic visions of the future. (Frank Herbert was 45 when "Dune" was first published, his son is now 63 and his "Dune" sequels/prequels began to be released in 2009.) In "Dune", Paul went the fear route and used war and terror to overthrow and get revenge. As is revealed in "The Children of Dune" his empire crumbled, having fallen into the same type of corruption etc. as All other empires.
To Me, this All sounds prophetic of Our choices. The Reconnections are about real-eyesing All of it. Each fragment is important, but none more than the other, only more relevant. BUT, to visionaries, All fragments are relevant or We too will succumb to fear, and retaliation. That is a choice, but not the One I want or the One I feel You want. I don't think most wants it either, but in the thick of it, it may be the only choice We see. Some however, seem to thrive on the violent frag, so be it.

Of course I couldn't watch the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTReDnveFUY
but the concept of overcoming or getting rid of fear is very typical of the New Age movement and it really is where many people are at. For more on this re-read My Rant. I'm thinking I should re-title it: The Art of Being Human.
We are about re-connecting and integrating such aspects as fear. I have been since I first started exploring My spirituality. This is why I didn't fit in with the New Age/Metaphysical community but fit right into Reconnections.
The thing is that We are the explorers. We are not in the majority (yet) and that has to be ok or We will tear OurSelves up trying to fix what isn't broken.

My rant 3/14/09
Soooo many of Our beliefs are expanding and something has to carry "them" or link "them".
Like fear, I know I used to be One of those that thought fear (and other negatives) need to be destroyed. Then over time, I saw that it is All part of All. The same with guilt, I don't think I ever thought of integrating guilt until who's it talked about kicking guilt out of "their" life. I Am amazed watching who's it growing as "they" explore and read and share and ask questions. It is amazing.
Then there is ........, would like to shake her 'til I get All the christian prejudice outta her. Guess the same goes for ...........
I've been keeping All this in and think I'll just go ahead and vent it. You may or may not wanna read the rest: I wanna delete All-most every e-mail from those two, it is like I have to hold One hand with the other and force it to the approve button. "They" are so locked into separation, it All-most hurts. And here I Am All-ways talking about accepting and honoring everyOne's choices, and I'd like to flush these two. "Fake it 'til You make it".
It's good mirror stuff for Me, My Own shadow-work in the part of My life I really love the most.
I know that there are those (many times many) who still believe in good and evil, and this includes the Newest Age community, the enlightened as well as the muggels. This is part of infinity. Butt damn!!!!!!!! I wanna scream at "them": "Have You ever read any of the Reconnection's material?" http://www.reconnections.net/index2.htm It amazes Me how many that I Am in contact with are totally void of the Reconnections and StarChild http://www.thestarchildren.com/star_children.html websites.
I Once told DJ I wanted to delete One of .....'s e-mails. I told him it reminded Me of a bumper sticker I Once saw (which I love):
God loves You.
But he likes Me best.
Then I read of her telling her unborn daughter about the "bad" guys having NO light. I All-most cried. How can there be any hope for the future when a starchild is gonna teach the unborn these same prejudices????????????
And ....... just won't let go of the belief in "bad" sex, naughty behaviour and judgement and condemnation for it.
Where will it end?
It won't, it is part of All that is. "They" continue to inhabit and explore a part of infinity for Me and as Me, so I can focus on other parts. Without these poor lost bastards, We would never expand, never be aware of even half of eternity/infinity.
I have the same kind of conflicts/conversations within when there is any mis-understanding between spiritualists. How can We have any hope for the world, if We can not agree???
Hope does not rely on agreement, it relies on acceptance. And not even everyOne's acceptance, only My Own.
Speaking of shadows and assholes, the kid at work has actually started speaking to Me. I feel that We will eventually become friends and then I can drown the little son-of-a-bitch. (kidding about the drowning but he's probably lucky the rivers are still frozen). He does represent (to Me) those who are gifted and just don't know what to do with it. I have a vision of he and I talking and breaking through the walls of protection and finding the hurt star inside him. It is a vision that applies to many out there/in here.

Thots about other's dreams 3/14/09
I'm loving the common threads through All these dreams We are sharing. The play-fullness is certainly popping up.
I'm thinking that these common threads in Our dreams, must surely show Our connection at a level We are just becoming aware of. How cool is that? I know many of Us believe We are connected, yet still wonder when We see little evidence.
And just think, since this connection exists, We are introducing these concepts into the mass mind or it is surfacing in mass consciousness and We sensed it, We noticed it, it jumped out and gently grabbed Us by the throat screaming "NOTICE ME".

My reply to someOne's dream 3/14/09
How cool. Reconnection with Our castaways.
I was so happy to read that You returned to take in Your ferrets (more parts of YourSelf). That is the best part. So often, if We have walked away (especially a second time) We give up, We think WE are hopeless. You show another possibility that many probably never knew existed: We can make the concious choice to return again to these castaways (rather than waiting and hoping a chance encounter sometime in the future) and invite "them", welcome "them" back into Our hearts.

Dreams #63
Written 3/13/09
Had some great dreams last night, really enjoyed "them" but I was confused as hell and didn't know how to write about "them" at first. In One dream, I remember thinking: "But that would mean You either weren't born yet when You did that, or You are now around 35 and look 16."
I was dreaming in fluid time and trying to translate it into 3D time even in My dreams.
I was at some party or gathering and We were All sitting around a large table eating. I was talking about when I first moved to Alaska.
A sixteen year old spoke up, very excited, saying: "That was 17 years ago."
I asked: "How do You know?"
"I remember and I've been waiting for You ever since."
At first I was excited, it felt like a soul connection or something along those lines, but then I realized that this person was still 16, 17 years later. I began trying to reconcile 3D time with dream time, trying to explain this and make it fit. It was much like the opposite/reverse of what I do in waking. In waking I try to reconcile, explain and/or understand fluid time.
I had many similar dreams throughout the night. I kept having different people appearing throughout My life and "they" remained the same age as the years of My life went by.
One of the interesting things about these people was that "they" were All playmates, people I knew that I could and do (or did) have fun with.
I know that some who are reading this think: "So what, it's just a dream."
I believe Our dreams are real. I believe "they" are an alternate or parallel or expanded reality. I believe Our dreams are a way of getting familiar and comfortable with these expanded concepts before We experience "them" in waking. This way We don't just wake up some morning and find that All the rules were changed while We were sleeping. That would be a bit like waking up in the twilight zone.

I believe Our dreams are a way of getting familiar and comfortable with these expanded concepts before We experience "them" in waking. This way We don't just wake up some morning and find that All the rules were changed while We were sleeping. That would be a bit like waking up in the twilight zone.

When I first read DJ's article on neo-shamans,
( http://www.reconnections.net/neo_shamans.htm )
I had much the same reaction as when I first read about Merlin and knew it was talking about Me: "Who the hell do You think You are?" Reading these pieces below would have felt the same a few years or maybe even months ago. But, now I know that We are All shamans, We are moving into an age where everyOne has access to these abilities. However, We are not in that age yet, We are just moving into it, still pioneering. The earliest explorers went before and blazed the shaman's trail, now We are homesteading the property and those who wish to remain in the shelter of the established settlements shake "their" heads in wonder. Soon, many will join Us in this wilderness and it will become common place to travel the many worlds.
A Second Real World
Soul Travel
"The pre-eminently shamanic technique is the passage from one cosmic region to another - from earth to the sky or from earth to the underworld. The shaman knows the mystery of the breakthrough in plane. This communication among the cosmic zones is made possible by the very structure of the universe." - Mircea Eliade, Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy
In lucid dreams "strange worlds and scenes seem to arise spontaneously, but we are usually able to control our responses to them and, if we wish, to awaken from the dream at any time. The shaman's control during journeys is similar, and lucid dreams may well have provided inspiration for early shamanic journeys." - Roger N. Walsh, The Spirit of Shamanism (1990), p. 220
"He commands the techniques of ecstasy - that is, because his soul can safely abandon his body and roam at vast distances, can penetrate the underworld and rise to the sky. Through his own ecstatic experience he knows the roads of the extraterrestrial regions. He can go below and above because he has already been there. The danger of losing his way in these forbidden regions is still great; but sanctified by his initiation and furnished with his guardian spirit, a shaman is the only human being able to challenge the danger and venture into a mystical geography." - Mircea Elliade, Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy
"In the ages of the rude beginnings of culture, man believed that he was discovering a second real world in dream, and here is the origin of metaphysics. Without dream, mankind would never have had occasion to invent such a division of the world. The parting of soul and body goes also with this way of interpreting dream; likewise, the idea of a soul's apparitional body: whence, all belief in ghosts, and apparently, too, in gods." - Neitzsche, Human, All-Too-Human
"We must recognize ourselves as beings of four dimensions. Do we not in sleep live in a fantastic fairy kingdom where everything is capable of transformation, where there is no stability belonging to the physical world, where one man can become another or two men at the same time, where the most improbable things look simple and natural, where events often occur in inverse order, from end to beginning, where we see the symbolical images of ideas and moods, where we talk with the dead, fly in the air, pass through walls, are drowned or burnt, die and remain alive?" - P. D. Ouspensky
The Cosmic Zones
"The main feature of the shamans' universe is...the cosmic center, a bond or axis connecting earth, heaven and hell. It is often pictured as a tree or a pole holding up the sky. In a trance state, a shaman can travel disembodied from one region to another, climbing the tree into the heavens or following its downward extension. By doing so he can meet and consult the gods. There is always a numerical factor. He climbs through a fixed number of celestial stages, or descends through a fixed number of infernal ones. His key number may be expressed in his costume - for example, in a set of bells which he attaches to it. The key number varies from shaman to shaman and from tribe to tribe." - Geoffrey Ashe, The Ancient Wisdom
"...There are three great cosmic regions, which can be successively transversed because they are linked together by a central axis. This axis, of course, passes through an 'opening', a 'hole'; it is through this hole that the gods descent to earth and the dead to the subterranean regions; it is through the same hole that the soul of the shaman in ecstasy can fly up or down in the course of his celestial or infernal journeys." - Mircea Ellade, Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy (1964), p. 21
"The distinctive feature of the shamanic ecstasy is the experience of 'soul flight' or 'journeying' or 'out-of-body experience.' That is, in their ecstatic state shamans experience themselves, or their soul or spirit, flying through space and traveling either to other worlds or to distant parts of this world. In Ellade's words, 'The shaman specializes in a trance during which his soul is believed to leave his body and ascend to the sky or descend to the underworld.' "These flights reflect the shamanic view of the cosmos. This comprises a three-tiered universe of upper, middle, and lower worlds, the middle one corresponding to our earth. The shaman ranges throughout this threefold world system in order to learn, obtain power, or to diagnose and treat those who come for help and healing. During these journeys shamans may experience themselves exploring other worlds and meeting the people, animals, or spirits who inhabit them, seeing the cause and cure of a patient's 'illness, or interceding with friendly or demonic forces." - Roger N. Walsh, The Spirit of Shamanism (1990), p. 10
"Entrances into the Lower world commonly lead down into a tunnel or tube that conveys the shaman to an exit, which opens out upon bright and marvelous landscapes. From there the shaman travels wherever he desires for minutes or even hours, finally returning back up through the tube ... to emerge at the surface, where he entered." - Michael Harner, The Way of the Shaman (1982), p. 27
"Journeys to the middle or upper worlds have the same general features as those to the lower world. There are, however, some differences in purpose and in the types of entities likely to be encountered. The lower world is often a place of tests and challenges, but it is also a place where power animals are acquired and the shaman is guided and empowered to victory." "The middle world is our familiar world. In their visions shamans journey over it at will, unimpeded by barriers or distance, seeing far and wide, and returning with information about hunting, weather, or warfare. Middle-world journeys are particularly common in the near-Arctic areas of North America and Siberia. Here food supplies are precarious and migrating animal herds must be located." "The upper world is a place where teachers and guides may be found, and 'journeys here may be particularly ecstatic." - Roger N. Walsh, The Spirit of Shamanism (1990), p. 147
An Experience of Awe
There is "an ineffable joy in what he sees, an awe of the beautiful and mysterious worlds that open before him. His experiences are like dreams, but waking ones that feel real and in which he can control his actions and direct his adventures." - M. Harner, The Way of the Shaman (1982), p. 27
"The journey to the upper world usually begins from a raised area such as a mountain, treetop, or cliff, from which the shaman envisions himself ascending into the sky. At some stage of the journey there may be an experience of a kind of membrane that temporarily impedes the ascent. When this is pierced the shaman finds himself in the upper world, a world notably different from the middle world and perhaps populated with strange animals, plants, and people. Like the lower one, the upper world may have several levels, and the shaman can usually move between them at will, perhaps assisted by a helping spirit." - Roger N. Walsh, The Spirit of Shamanism (1990), p. 147
"During journeys awareness of the environment is significantly reduced. This is hardly surprising since the shaman is preoccupied with life-and-death dramas in other worlds. In spite of these other-world adventures, the shaman may be able to split her awareness between those worlds and this one sufficiently to communicate with her audience. In such cases the listeners may be treated to a blow-by-blow account of the worlds, spirits, and battles encountered by the shaman." - Roger N. Walsh, The Spirit of Shamanism (1990), p. 220
"Among religions, practitioners of Taoism, Islam, Yoga, and Tibetan Buddhism may journey to other realms. Among Taoists visualizations were believed to help the adept ascend to paradise. In the course of the visualization he crossed the gates of the three celestial passes to enter the Yu-ching Heaven, where he undertook an excursion of paradise. Some Indian Muslims practice 'allowing the soul to explore the spirit world;' helped on its way with hashish, which they call the 'heavenly guide or poor man's heaven.' In contrast to shamanism, however, these traditions use journeying only occasionally; it is by no means a central practice." - Roger N. Walsh, The Spirit of Shamanism (1990), p. 90

Thots about fear 3/7/09
Fear seems to be UP again (or still) for many of Us and words are (or have been) failing Us. This fear is deep, very deep associated with gods know what memories and seemingly an integral part of the human condition. It seems that All-most everywhere I turn I Am hearing about fear and choices in dealing with it.
Of course this means that I'm getting My Own heavy dose of opportunities for fear coming up. This time it is quite different for Me, tho the circumstances are quite typical.
Normally, for Me and many of My others there are several typical reactions to fear. We tend to go into a mental tailspin and the mind/ego/whatever imagines a downward spiraling chain of events that culminates in death (or worse). Basically, the programmed response to fear is that We start crying out "I'm gonna die, I will never, ever be able to survive this" or some well camouflaged version of this.
Then, for those of Us on the enlightenment train, We usually try to fight the fear or cast it out or some such.
How about accepting fear as part of Us, a part that can function to protect Us but, that like a cancer has run rampant in Our minds?
The more We fight fear (or really anything We think of as negative) the deeper it buries itSelf, and the more it festers. We don't need to do this to OurSelves, and neither do We need to let fear run savagely through Our minds and control Our lives and/or paralyze Us.
I've read a lot about fear lately and some of the jewels I've picked up are:
Fear is an option not a mandate.
I created this situation FOR Me.
What am I trying to learn here?
What is the AHA in this situation?
I can recognize that I Am afraid, it is part of Me, and I can accept it without fighting it or letting it control or consume Me.
Fear is part of All that is.
Fear, and fear of fear is up for integrating at this time so We can be ready to move on.
Last night I had a bunch of dreams that are hard to describe because "they" were symbolic more than literal. "They" were All about change. Change is coming, and as much as I look forward to what I theel is ahead, I recognized I Am also afraid of it. I fear it because it is not familiar. FEAR is familiar. Waking from One of My dreams I had the thought: "Ok, now everything can get back to normal" and then like a voice "there is NO normal anymore".

Dreams #62
Written 3/6/09
We had quite a bit of snow yesterday so I played hooky and slept in. I was well rewarded with a bunch of dreams, All related to helping others awaken.
At first I noticed people's reactions when I accidentally touched "them". I say accidentally because I'm not a touch-er/hugger person, I'm usually very careful about who I touch. This is more a sub-conscious thing rather than an overt practice.
In My first dream someOne slipped and fell into Me and "they" had an electric re-action to My touch. "They" kind of lit up and jolted. Then later, "they" came to Me and said that ever since that happened "they" could hear other people's thoughts. We began having a telepathic conversation and I asked how "they" felt about this. Just like most of Us would respond, there were mixed feelings. I told "them" that now that "they" had experienced this "they" have the choice of accepting or rejecting the experience and ability.
This choice opens up a lot of possibilities. What if We have All had such experiences (maybe many times) and decided (for whatever reason) to not only reject the ability, but to reject the entire experience????? What if when We read of someOne else (Our others) having such an experience it is a reminder that We too have actually had this experience? I know I used to be jealous of reading/hearing of such experiences until at some point I real-eyesed that I was having My choice of experiences.
Another possibility would be to accept the experience but reject the ability. We could remember the experience but turn off the ability until maybe sometime in the future We are faced with these choices again.
Now, suppose We accept the experience and the ability. This is the way Our conversation turned in My dream.
"What do I do with this?"
"You can just go blustering forth full force with it turned up full blast and blaring in Your head. Or, You can work with it, practice like You did riding a bike and learn to turn it up and down, even on and off."
"You mean I can do this without hearing everything? I have a choice about who I hear and whom I don't?"
"Yes, with practice and belief. You can learn to feel when someOne is guarding 'their' thoughts and the energy around this guardedness. You can begin to sense when someOne is reaching out for help and/or comfort. You can learn to sense when someOne needs/wants to be heard and when not."
The conversation went on as this new friend explored many possible paths this could take.
I woke and went back to sleep several times and these dreams continued. After a while I noticed people were re-acting just being in close proximity to Me. I no longer needed to touch anyOne for something to "jolt" inside "them". It might be interesting to note that I have felt (for some time) this type of re-action from strangers when out in public, not quite as severe or pointed, but definitely a more subtle version of the same re-action.
There were many different abilities turned on for short periods and each time, I sent a message to the person. Each time I could sense what the person was experiencing and I mentally talked to "them" about "their" experience. It was very important that each person know "they" had total choice what to do with the experience and the ability. "They" could remember or forget both the experience and the ability or either.
This was quite an eye opener about choices, and the way We see Our journey and Our abilities or lack thereof.

Dreams #61
Written 2/23/09
I had a great dream about integrating Our shadows, rejects, cast aways.
I was at home and a friend was visiting (obviously this was a dream LOL). There was a knock at the door and I went to see who it could possibly be. Surprisingly it was My friends evil twin (literally) asking to be let in and recognized.
I asked My friend if it would be okay, after All it is his twin. He was reluctant, or at least hesitant. Who wouldn't be? After a little consideration, he agreed to letting his evil twin come in. Once the twin was inside, the first thing that needed to be done was for My friend to formally acknowledge him. After this was done the three of Us began a conversation.
As the conversation progressed I noticed the twins moving closer and closer together.
Then there was another knock at the door. One visitor is rare, 3 is unheard of at My cabin. Especially unexpected visitors.
Again I went to see who was there, and SURPRISE it was One of My rejects. I was a bit caught of guard because I have done a lot of work at accepting and owning My rejects. But then again, We are so much more than We think We are.
http://www.google.com/search?q=You+are+so+much+more&sitesearch=reconnections.net
After the initial surprise I was delighted to have a reject come knocking at My door. You see, when I first started trying to connect with My rejects and castaways the nicest reaction was ignoring Me. Most did a lot of yelling and cursing. After All, I had disowned "them" for many years and most were not just unknown, but actually thrown out in the street.
Over time many of My rejected Selves softened and allowed Me to talk to "them" and invite "them" in. Some had to be chased down and backed into a corner to listen, but many have been accepted, and of course some still choose to be on "their" own. I have learned that I must accept this also.
Therefore it was a delight to actually have a castaway come to Me and so I invited him in. By this time My friend and his twin had connected. It was great timing because I don't have that much room or extra chairs.
Now it was time for Me to formally acknowledge My reject as part of Me and begin a conversation. As We talked, We moved closer together.
Then there was another knock on the duir.
