Marcus, I do believe there are many very important things about
your experiences and I thank you for sharing this.

One of the many reasons and hopes I had for people having a go at
these highly idiosyncratic exercises based on THE most bizarre
presupposition-universe you might like to meet was that it would
lead to them saying that they would prefer to *deal with their own
energy system* instead which is one of the major corner stones of
EmoTrance.

There is an exercise in there somewhere where a woman is to squash
up her womb and then tear out her ovaries symbolically. Even
thinking about doing it makes my totality go on strike. I might
have issues with feminity and indeed I do but seriously, that is
just plain nasty and insane.

What your experience said to me (and of course, this open to other
interpretations) is that you had an energetic experience but YOU
WERE NOT SURE IF IT WAS YOURS.

Where did this lizard thing come from? Installed from the teachers
and readings you did at the time? From outer space? A meaningful
metaphor in your own context?

Dodgy! Very very dodgy. One of the many, many things the super
strict "What's the problem? Where do YOU feel it in YOUR body?
Show me with your hands." setup is designed to avoid. Keeps the
teachers/originators/therapists OWN demonology at bay.

The other thing that I immediately raised my ears at in your mail
was that you were not sure IF THIS WAS GOOD FOR YOU. And so you
had the sense to stop. Good on you!

There are a lot of people who would have gone on "because it said
so in the book", violating their own already mutilated energy
system even further in the process (and adding the book's author's
own demons to their own collection!)

I'm using this phrase, demon, not particularly lightly. God knows
how many I have, and God knows that in spite of everything, I
wouldn't inflict them on my worst enemies LOL! Which is why
EmoTrance is what it is and works as it does.

Sooner or later, we will have to make the move into working with
the energy system *beyond the barrier of the physical body* - it
is presumed and presupposed in ET that we have to do this in order
to restore Even Flow and take control of our energy fields, find
out how the land lies and what has to be done to repair, retrieve,
remove etc. so it gets to function as the creator intended, at
last.

As the physiological sensation diminish, it becomes ever easier to
get lost in *other people's wild worlds* and use entirely the
wrong maps; for teachers it becomes ever easier to mistake THEIR
universe for THE universe, draw up idiosyncratic maps and then
foist them unto other poor innocent victims seeking healing.

What we will be doing is to develop *highly personalised energy
evocations* that are structurally absolutely related to
Castaneda's drills and Reiki symbols, but indeed are YOURS and not
to be foisted on anyone else.

I would like to thank you sincerely Marcus for telling us of your
experiences and giving me the opportunity to speak about these
things. If you had not written in, I would not have.

best,

Silvia
