The Call

Back in November of 2009 I had a series of synchronistic events happen that I recorded in my blog over at the Broken Bokken .... http://broken-bokken.blogspot.com/ See 'Shamans At Work'

These events led me to the world of Shamanism. To be frank with you, I had no interest in the subject until these events...and since then have been called into this interesting world.

I really don't consider myself a Shaman, but many of the hypnotic practices I have engaged in since the age of 16 are very similar to shamanic practices. So...in upcoming posts I will begin sharing my journeys as I conduct a series of past-life regressions...and maybe some future life progressions.

As Muso Soseki wrote, "for a person of Zen no limits exist."

Please join me as I explore the parameters of consensus and non-consensus reality. Please comment...and let the playful journey begin.

Many Blessings,
Shinzen

I'm a Squirrel

A lucid dream I had a few months ago: I was running through a field towards a bank overlooking a lake. As I looked down I could see my legs as a man.

I then lifted and began flying...I then shape-shifted into a squirrel soaring through the air...dipping into the lake and just having fun. I remember seeing the lake glistening in the sun. The blue sky watching over me.

It felt carefree, joyous and yes, a tad bit squirrely!

Hands palm to palm,

Shinzen

    Does it mean you were a squirrel, Shinzen?

    Once I had a very weird vision; I felt like being a water running here and there, with air bubbles.

    I wonder, how can one distinguish between hallucinated dream, lucid dream, and past-life memory?

    ... errr, how about a post? :D

    Rizal: I personally believe it depends on how you wish to define these terms...or what you believe they are...or what lesson you are to learn. In terms of the squirrel...I feel my eternal self did morph into a squirrel and played for awhile...then returned to Shinzen when I opened my eyes.

    It's a free universe...pick and choose what you wish to call things...but what is the lesson? Thanks for the question...it helps me sort this out as well.

    Thank you for visiting my blog and giving some feedback. Returning the gesture. As I told a friend, 'Quid quo pro...read but post once in awhile...so I don't feel like I'm talking to myself.'
