A Quest for Community

A personal journal of my first journeys to Damanhur & Auroville.

Tuesday, October 07, 2003

When I focused on any particular window, it instantly opened to reveal a full-blown life scenario, complete with all the sensations of 'real-life.' And as my focus moved rapidly from card to card, I realized that there was a common element running through them. They all had something to do with the "Goddess." Most of the scenarios involved actual temples and rituals dedicated to the Goddess, complete with beautiful priestesses in flowing robes and all, though many of them weren't in human bodies. I was a female in some of them, but a male in most, having various roles as guardian, protector, lover, teacher, adept, etc. Some of them involved sensual tantric rituals, others were of serene contemplation, and others were of wild battle scenes where I was fighting with vicious aggressors who wanted to destroy the temples and their priestesses. I skimmed through an incredible number of inspiring spiritual scenes sprinkled with horrifying scenes of rape and plunder.
