That the ecstasy of incarnation is not solely for us gives a new spin on the
meaning of responsibility...responding to Spirit. Spirit keeps turning up the
volume on the bliss dial until we get it. That we are a “vehicle” for Spirit and
that Spirit is driven to merge with itself through amplification of its force. If the
“work” of Spirit is for the collective anyway, then at some point we should be able
to say “Yea Spirit, bring it on, give me all you’ve got so I can spread it around!”
You might find that dogs bark at your heart expansion energy, for it vicariously
inflates their heart field. Humans and all living creatures respond unconsciously to
a radically magnified heart field, sometimes not always positively.
Despite the fact that Divine Union is the reason and goal of all religions, even
so ecstasy is still apparently a dangerous subject when it comes to establishing
and maintaining the power differential in the workplace and community. For
ecstasy constitutes social emancipation and freedom from destructive social codes
and power structures (what I call Baboon Politics). Because it is not “normal”
for someone to be in radical ecstasy in a daily life setting, be careful who you tell.
Generally while we are actively sharing the pleasure of our ecstasy and Presence
with others we cannot “let on.” We cannot put a crack the cosmic egg of normality
and expect others to still participate...thus we must bridge worlds! Massaging others
while you are in radical heart expansion-ecstasy is generally not a good idea, for the
blood pressure is too low with the expansion of all the blood vessels and heart...
and there is no strength in the arms anyway, coupled with the slowing and fatigue
generated by this expansion period.
In Christian theology, Kenosis is the concept of the ‘self-emptying’ of one’s
own will and becoming entirely receptive to God and his perfect will. It is used
both as an explanation of the incarnation, and an indication of the nature of God’s
activity and condescension. It just might be that a female can be affected by a
spiritual male more so than the other way round. Perhaps because a female’s brain
is more functionally diffuse, with different areas able to take on the tasks of other
areas, while male brains are more specific and localized. Since a females brain is
wired to go unconscious during sex, and since kundalini is similar to sex chemistry
but greatly magnified, this means that a females awakening might biochemically
exhibit a more fundamental form of surrender which the male body is unlikely to
ever experience.
Bliss anD tHe relatiVe Domain
“Society cannot allow ecstasy. Ecstasy is the greatest revolution...If people become
ecstatic, the whole society will have to change, because this society is based on
misery.”17, Osho, Body Mind Balancing
The bliss is a permanent background which is impervious to both suffering
and pleasure. The bliss is all pervasive. That is we can be in the worst physical
or emotional suffering and still be in radical bliss. Then on top of the bliss there
are emotions, desires, suffering, numbness, anhedonia and whatever our relative
response to life is at the time. I have humorously proposed a bliss scale from 1-
- With 10 being when one is in a catatonic-like state due to extreme ecstasy.
