A look at life from a liminal perspective. Both my medical condition (myalgic encephalomyalitis) and my intuitive abilities are examples of liminal conditions. Liminality is the realm of tricksters, ambiguity, "betwixt and between"(ala Victor Turner). My body is not fully alive and my psyche has awareness of more than one realm. Though this is a subjective view, my hope is that it can benefit others by being placed in a larger perspective such as mythic, Jungian, transformative, or spiritual.

Quakes, Visions & Dharma Practice
Last night was a night from hell. I dreamt about crumbled buildings, disasters, and immense suffering. I woke up several times with demonic type presences in the room. So I did my Lion Faced Dakini practice when I was conscious, between disturbing visionary states.
Since 2004, my left ear registers high pitched rings prior to earthquakes all over the globe.
I didn't get any ear ringing for the 8.8 Chile quake (which is up to 52 50+ aftershocks, and counting). Instead, I was very dizzy, with severe ear pain yesterday. I spent the afternoon and evening on the couch. With the Haiti quake and aftershocks, I heard the ringing in the left ear, but I did not have visions.
All of this is very frustrating to me.

You aren't alone in this, by any means. We have a friend who suffers tremendously before quakes - vertigo, nausea etc. I'm going to send her here to your site. Thanks for posting this. There do seem to be people who are "earth sensitives," for lack of a better term. In fact, if you and our friend will give us permission, I'd like to do a post on what the two of experience before these quakes. perhaps it will help someone else.
ReplyDeleteThanks Trish & Rob. Anything to helps others...Use whatever is useful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, D. I heard back from the other woman and she said fine, too. She's going to check out your blog. Your slant is good, too, because of the Buddhist material.
ReplyDeleteD - the links don't work! Am putting the post together now.
ReplyDeleteTrish & Rob,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up! I've fixed them.
Great! Now off to check them out.
ReplyDeleteD, is this ringing anything like the Earth seeming to turn into a gigantic gently warbling glass bell?
ReplyDeleteThat's the one I've been getting since a kid in the early '60s. I got it just before our housing estate exploded into the Toxteth Riots, and I got it just recently and it always makes me go, uh-oh.
Sorry to hear about your 30 years of illness, but I too've a life long proneness to weird mystical experiences and equally powerful dreams when I'm asleep, and a little while back our cat was as good as dead but I had this dream I could fire out healing white rays from the palms of my hand and when I tried it out on her she miraculously recovered.
Now I know you're not a feline - though I'm sure you're an absolute pussycat! - but I've loaded down your piccy on my desktop and I'll try firing me palms at it whenever I remember and who knows - maybe you'll turn into a ginger tabby!
Ooh, there's an omen: when I just previewed this comment the test word that came up was borksl and my usual online names're borky or alanborky - so make of that what you will!
