Dang it. I hate when that happens. I had just written a long, lyrical reply -- and when I checked back to get the correct spelling of Manjushri -- I lost it.
Oh well. Jimi, I just wanted to say that typically, I call on Jesus Christ, or Raphael, archangel of healing, but I am open to working with whomever presents themselves. When I chose a different path other than going to India with Swami Rama, he appeared to me to say goodbye. As a teenager, I also felt the powerful forces of Paramahansa Yogananda after reading his autobiography -- which included his promise to be of help to whomever called upon him. Lastly, I have met one of my teachers -- at the risk of offending some -- in a space ship, no less. I don't know how that occurred, or why -- but it happened, it was real, and I will affirm that truth to my dying day. So -- I am open. I am open, open, open -- and I love what you and (was it Missouri girl?) have recommended. Clearly -- working with Light is a powerful tool, and one of the most viable vehicles for affirming one's earnest, honest intention to lift up and be more at one with the Divine. I will do so -- and I will invoke the healing presence of Manjushri to be of help. Thank you and bless you for bringing him to me/me to him.
A long time ago when I was in a religious order, I actually made the prayer of the Boddhisatva. I don't know how it goes -- it was a prayer I uttered on my own, and came from deep within my intention to be of service to others ....
Re. this thing with Paul ... I don't know what to say, other than that I know him, and have known him many, many times. There is a deep and powerful affinity/attraction -- but, obviously -- he has fallen off his work -- and it's critical that I resume my own ... to put that love connection back where it belongs -- at one with the Divine.
I pray to be of service to all whom I meet and come into contact with -- in the sense that they be touched by Love/Light, and lifted up into a higher consciousness of God -- but obviously, I am not functioning well at present -- and I appreciate the protective mechanisms you recommended .... In Christian mysticism, we always referred to this as being Knights of the Light, and putting on our shining and protective armor ....
I think that's about all ... other than to note that I've found the 12-step program to be one of the most spiritual programs I've ever encountered -- and I hope I can actually make contact with a group (after three failed attempts yesterday, and numerous tearful phonecalls to various AA/Al-Anon resources).
I hope you won't mind my continued writing on my healing. It is so helpful, and so valuable to have a place to "go" (thank you and bless you, Dr. Bob), and I am so humbly appreciative of ... and grateful for ... the "friends" I've found here.
Blessings.
