Dear Peter, Barbara et al, Peter, I am the last person you should ask to define terms like ego according to the many systems which use such terms: Freud, Theosophists, Jung, and Steiner all mean something slightly different. Perhaps you or the many others well read and versed in anthroposophy can discuss 'ego' within the context of Steiner's work, I however am not qualified to do this.
When I talked about the ego, I meant the part of the self that has been constructed by us in order to 'hide' the deeper soul parts of ourselves. The part that allows us to function with our peers and society with a superficial persona that we wear like a mask. Many folks actually have constructed very elaborate personas in order to justify the ways in which they harm others daily just by going to their job, and the ways in which they harm themselvs and loved ones through the many intricate and societally acceptable ways there are in which to do this. The ego in occult terms is the part of personality that must 'die' in order to be transformed. The initiate would go through a 'death' experience of that constructed part of the self that is not the true Self. Barbara, as for 'going with the flow' I mean not robot-like but being in the moment, being fully present, Mindful. Thanks for your eloquent message about 'quantum' healing, Barbara! Any examples of working with the blueprint and effecting healing? Really this is an area in which I was hoping to hear more from the others on this list who have more experience in subtle energy work or vibrational healing than I do. I was hoping to elicit more stories like Sharon and Barbara have done recounting some of their experiences or descriptions of subtle energy healing done with people, animals and the garden/farm. I was first introduced to subtle energy work directly through one of my favorite things--eating!! Over ten years ago, I started eating vital bd food, found out about spiritual agriculture which has led to an amazing series of transformations proving to me that vital food in the body, creates a state of health/healing which can support good spiritual and intellectual growth! Please share more of your healing stories and revelations in the various disciplines and modalities represented by this rich and polyglot community. And thanks to those of you who have shared so much of yourselves and your work already! I would specifically love to hear more about those of you working with radionic healing or any other vibrational medicine.

It is only when we commit to opening to our own alchemical process that we can take quantum leaps and let go of all the garbage that has prevented us from connecting up our own dots in this living/dying process we are all involved in. For some, sitting and meditating is very healing and gets them on the Red Road, for others something different will apply and for the healer(not too many real ones out there) they need the discrimination and sensitivity to be empathic to the healees energy field. The healer need also not work directly on the "problem", but rather help the other to become and see(as a witness) their own energy blocks and begin to do their own healing. A kind of diffuse, lateral and cool energy is what is often called for and there is a necessity for both the healer and healee to create a safe container for the work to proceed. And most important of all we all need to step back and free up others for their own soul's lessons . Our own true medicine or blueprint on what we came here to do is built into the DNA and it is readily accessible with a certain type of breathing , sound and movement. And that junk DNA is not peripheral to the process, it is part and parcel of what we are all about at this time on Mother Earth. It is all about listening and being guided by the ancestors who are only a breath away, our birthright and authentic baptism with the energy of the water molecule. All this other stuff is side-stuff, a major distraction from the heart of the matter which is love and the unconditional kind. Any arrogance stops the alchemical process which was promised to us to evolve into compassionate and humane beings. A little aside here Jane "going with the flow " is great for part of the time and we also need not to be perfect flowing robots. Harnessing the energy along with the flow helps us to integrate and build from the root up. And yes work with the edge, the wave , the arc and all of those feminine shapes that help the blinders come off.

This is a very interesting concept. And question would be -- HOW? And -- through some process -- we will be healed -- or not.........?? I wish that there was an easy answer to this -- but I don't think that it currently is "sit down and meditate and I will self heal or evolve spiritually". Here is what (as best as I can offer) Sharon has said many times in her work. She works with a wide range of folks who have wide ranging experience from doing no vibrational healing work -- to those who are practitioners of various protocols in repatterning through performing various energy work protocols. She works with people who have never done anything (literally) -- Lots of folks..... What she has described about her experiences in sessions where she is doing work on these various people is that once she has "entered their consciousness" she experiences varying degrees of "wading through a swamp". Some are more swampy than others -- and some folks will load her down to where at times she has to struggle in order to maintain her energy level through the session. Then there are about 4 people -- and only about 4 that she works with that she refers to as clear -- open -- and whose consciousness is available for her to work easily and quickly through in her process of eliminating the out of balance thought patterns / conditions and running the frequencies which are requested in order to do the release work that the subject is wishing to have accomplished. Golly, I hope that made sense to some.......... Anyway, the point is -- in order to heal yourself and evolve -- you still need a method to follow in order to accomplish that end. Peace........
