Endings

Twilight threw shadows up the hills like dark bony fingers. Watching the growing, slowly moving shadows, he saw them creep into the edge of the trees like a dark hand insinuating itself into a living glove.

What do shamans 'see' when they look at people?

I can give a description of the human onion. When, in the shamanic sense, you see people in their totality as energetic beings, the picture isn't as easy to grasp as one might think because other human beings are made up of the same sorts of energy that the shaman is.

The Difficulties

What is jealousy is energetically?

Jealousy is one of those emotions which is made up of components of several of the more direct emotional energies, a shade of each in a way that takes on a life of it's own.

Why do you say my brain is trying to kill me?

Your brain is a wonderful thing, an amazing piece of engineering and a marvel of perceptual sensitivity. The only problem is - it lies to you on a regular basis.

Where does anger come from and what creates it in our energy?

Before we get angry, we get afraid. We also build anger and store it in our energy and our bodies.

How important are the emotions involved when we're dealing with expectations?

The main emotions are important, but the underlying patterns are where the real pay dirt is.

How can I understand/use my body's sexual attraction energy?

If you don't want, or don't intend to use it the way nature has pointed you then it's a good time to really look at that feeling and find the roots of the energy that propel it

How is the concept of a predatory universe different than the notion that there are dark forces at work in a battle for men's souls?

Well, when I think of predatory I think of something actively stalking its prey. From what I have seen, the universe, or things in it, are not as interested in stalking us, as they seem for the most part indifferent to us.
