After the first major opening of the influx (Sex with Eros) I experienced a
corresponding major contraction. I call this particular contraction the White
shock because as blood leaves the skin surface the skin turns white. During this
event you feel rather like a robot for motor control is diminished and you are
dispossessed. That is you go into unavoidable shock. During the “White Shock”
with the meta-activation of the sympathetic nervous, the adrenals are highly active
and blood moves away from the body surface and is sent to the sketetal muscles.
Perhaps this is tied into the changes in the production of immune cells in the
bone marrow during metamorphosis. At this time the nervous system would be
flooding the body with a certain mix of neuropeptides that would signal the cells
to change from their normal function into the transmutation mode. The fact that
neuropeptides are the molecules of emotion, and that this alchemy occurs of its
own accord and there is nothing much we can do about it, helps explain why the
early stages of a sudden awakening can be so emotionally overwhelming.
The initiation of metamorphic chemistry activates the adrenals and sympathetic
nervous system, which is essentially the fight-or-flight response. So great is this
sympathetic activation during the initiation-influx stage that the digestive system
purges. Digestion is activated by parasympathic or the rest-relaxation side of the
nervous system and with the crisis instigated by the radical sympathetic activation
the body rapidly purges the intestinal tract so that more energy can be available
for strategic thinking for fight-or-flight. The purging is essential so that when the
white-shock phase hits the digestive system is relatively empty, for the intestines
and the visceral organs go into an intense contraction. Perhaps this contraction is
necessary in order to reset the function of the organs into the transmutation mode.
Note that while the body is purging it is best to avoid eating food. Instead a little
fruit or fresh squeezed vegetable juice should be fine, but only if the desire for it
is there.
During the White Shock of the 2000 awakening the autonomic shock my body
went into of its own accord was perhaps equivalent to seeing a nuclear blast occur
out of the blue. Many people would assume in experiencing this kind of autonomic
shock that they are going through a “Dark Night of the Soul” experience. For me
the White Shock proper occurred after the initial peak opening of the influx of
spirit, the shock being in direct proportion to the extent of the opening.
The White Shock is associated with the ignition phase while the Die-offs happen
after a certain time interval of transmutation has occurred. The Die-offs are quite
different in sensation and physiology to the White Shock experience. The White
Shock is a state of septic shock created by the NO, free radicals other metabolites
produced during the hyperactivation of the initiation. While the Die-off is an
elaborate catabolic process choreographed by hormones etc...and involving the
immune cells cannibalizing body cells that cannot withstand the high oxidation
conditions. This Die-off phenomena is known in the spiritual traditions as “The
Death and Resurrection.”
To deal with the septic shock do gentle stretching and pushing exercises and
plenty of breathing. Get some form of bodywork or the comfort of another
human body to hug. Eat green vegetables and green drinks and avoid heavy foods
