Recapitulations and this 'n' that.!!!

Everyboy's little personel life is not worth much, they're all the same. . . unless your recapitulation finds out that you may have living a big unversal guided from above life. . .
Your childhood traumas and imprints are 'stuck-up' energy . . .a life or connected to all there is. . .but whne you die everything is reconnected again. . . and 'in the beginning' you were connected to all there is. . .
Reconnecting. .. is getting back into the Garden of Eden again. . . .
If you just go on about your childhood memeories in the'normal' fashion people will conclude that you are senile. . . . . sentimental. . . . and your life is over. . . .
Best do the real thing. . .recapitulation is very dangerous if done wrong, without real knowledge. . . I've seen many get a very twisted it up in it. . .
actually I've seen less then 5 percent of people who say they do it. . . .succeed. . . and many brain damaged for life. . . I have some experience of what he means here in the blue highlighted part of his post. The first recappings I did before I knew of CC, were done with the aid of self-help books, specifically one called "The Courage to Heal" a book for women who were sexually abused in childhood. The book focused a lot on recovery of childhood memories and also on giving the woman permission to be angry with the assertion that it is not necessary to forgive. I understand where it was coming from because when I was growing up being angry upset the fragile family too much and we were told anger was bad and saw how bad it could be when dad used to come home drunk and raging so I was so suppressed in that way that I couldn't feel anger anymore. I also understand why they would assert that it's not necessary to forgive because when the step-dad got found out we were told to forgive him(it was part of the religious code) right after and then he got "saved" and went on doing what he was doing to my sister, a real soul *** I can tell you. Not something easily forgiven, being told to forgive and going through the motions without authentic processing and forgiveness made things a whole hell of a lot worse. So i understand why the book said those things and it was one of the first, if not first, such books and so needed by many.
But what I got from that first recapping was a lot of rage coming up, an idea that it wasn't necessary to forgive, that healing could still happen without it, a heightened sense of having been a victim, a confusion of reality around me from projections at a time I didn't have much of a clue about what projections were, anxiety, more depression...a whole lot of garbage I didn't know how to deal with. I had a few therapists but wasn't lucky with the ones I got, I didn't have much choice in therapists because I was poor and going to a community service place where they assigned you a therapist, you could choose to get a different one but there weren't many and they weren't all that good. Also, I had so little trust for authority figures that I couldn't open up much anyway. There is something strange about the dynamic in a system where you have to pay to get help from the harm living in that system brought your way.
I had better luck when I started telling "God" some years later: first I told my rage at God while at the same time praying to get through it for reconnection, for healing, eventually I was able to get to the tears and grief behind the rage, to be cool with Od, to feel forgiveness and forgiven...but I keep digressing. My point is that I didn't start to get much healing until I was able to grieve and begin to forgive, to let go of my blame and anger towards them and myself, to let go of my bitter, to let go of the certainty that my life would always be fucked because I was so fucked in childhood, to realize that I  had transgressed in my adult life through the transgressions I experienced as a child and to understand what "it will be visited unto the seventh generation" means, the weight of karma on Atlas back-- how un-free we really are while we are living out the scripts given to us from previous generations of fucked up modern western people.
Having the realizations about conditioning helped me to forgive myself for not being a good enough and reliable enough protectress of myself and my children, for being a raging **** at times, for not knowing or giving love (except when breaths came here and there), that simple acceptance of self and other that so many of us never experience or don't experience consistently in childhood and most often through adulthood to the grave because that kind of love doesn't come from a script and most of us never have the chance to experience it consistently nor do we trust it at first when it does blow through because it opens up the painful places and we are afraid to be betrayed again by a feeling heart that left us so vulnerable as children but I can tell you when you do begin to experience it consistently by some grace, luck, and hard work, then you will be much more able to get rid of stagnating stuff as the I ching puts it, as soon as you realize it is worthwhile to feel your heart no matter how much it hurts.
So back to my initial point, it certainly makes the utmost sense to not deny and to recognize one's anger, and it certainly makes the utmost sense not to forgive until you have forgiven, but it is unsound in the extreme to lock into a permission to be rageful, a permission to not forgive. May not be exactly what "unregisterd(d)" meant but it fits.
An idea of open exploration with reconnection in sight, of grieving and forgiving one's self, one's unsullied center: that whatever it is that we are though we might have clunk and ****--dross clinging at the periphery.  A will to proceed that way opens the way for the Center(intent I'd say comes through here) to do the work through our heart: it's bridge. That Center is the one that forgives all and everyone and lives!
At least that's how it's been working with me. I am certainly not finished with this worthy work and have proceeded bit by bit.
Man I sure wish unregistered(d) and the other folks would re-visit this forum...

Lunoor, I feel you - you make an excellent point that getting past the anger and rage is so damn hard. I try to do it all the time, I just wonder to myself how to get past it - and sometimes I do, especially with meditation as a tool, but it always comes back around. I do know that this is why I smoke ciggarettes. Peace be with you my friend.

Having had similar experiences as you guys...I have found that the only way around anger and rage is to go through it. To be at peace with it. Not avoid it but to confront it. It is very counter to how we are taught to deal with anger and rage. We are taught especially as women to just forget it, get over it, put it aside. I have found it doesnt work that way, because that is where the power lives. Power unfulfilled...power unfocused. Energy that is useful, energy can be harvested in rage and anger...anger can be a real motivator. I have used this anger energy to do things that I never imagined that I could do. You can too. The trick is to "see" that anger is just energy and use it to your benefit. How? To allow the anger to consume you...to engulf you, to motivate you forward so you can see....see that you do have the power and allow that power to work for you. Btw...I needed to hear that, thank you for being impeccably honest.

Somewhere I encountered the comment that all anger is a defense. If that is true, then there must be an element of self-importance involved in the process.



In my own efforts to deal with anger, I was directed by my teacher at the time to deal with tailgaters. I was on the road, with a truck camper, not the fastest vehicle on the road, but it often drew tailgaters for one reason or another, sometimes so close I could not see the front of their vehicle in my side mirrors. My reaction always was anger, sometimes to the point of taking action against the tailgater, such as taking my foot off the accelerator and allowing the truck to slow to a crawl just to piss them off, or hitting the brakes hard, then accelerating. The confrontations occasionally led to other gestures when they finally passed me.



My teacher asked me why I was angry. Key question. Bottom line, I was being disrespected, as they say...the tailgater was not only invading my "territory", he was purposefully expressing his own dislike of my being in his way, slowing him down. The key thing was my own self-importance. It then took some conscious effort to deal with tailgaters, to recognize what was going on and why. At that point, I then began looking for turnouts to pull into to let other faster traffic go by. The key thing was the release of the anger, and a palpable relief in doing so. That lesson affected other driving attitudes as well, so that whenever someone cut me off, or aggressively "dissed" me, I found I could let it go.



To me this really connects with the story about Hakuin from which I've taken my signature line.

That's a great story Gonzo, one I can relate to! I both get annoyed at tailgaiters AND Im a tailgaitor myself ! ****. Maybe after reading your story I wont be letting myself off with such behaviour.



I was commenting today to someone at work how all the snow on the roads here at the moment is making everybody slow right down and its much less stressful driving because of it....like there is a shared agreement out there that we are all in it together dealing with the snow, being so much more patient with each other, its lovely.

Anger is a wonderful gateway to power we all can use!



I have seen again and again that in the lives of warriors are so many "traumas" which are initially introduced as injustices, that are gems truly, in the end, once such memories become permeated with power.

Well you know, they are traumas and when that experience isn't processed because of it's overwhelming force on a child's being, it is stuffed in tangles and knots and blocks into the body, into distorted energetic patterns, into a rigid, narrow ap. What began as a protection from overwhelming force becomes a stultifying habitual pattern.



A pinned and pained life force is pissed, this piss will squelch one's overall life force when it must be suppressed, it will lash out with force at times like air through a blowout---it will be raw and dangerous until it is looked into and through where the wound is felt at it's core, where there will be tears and grief through which the anger energy transforms into motivating life force, mars through venus brings new life to light



that positive transformation doesn't happen for me until my floodgates break open as they have many times and many more to come



good to see this thread back on board and new replies, dreamgirl, peace be upon you as well and thanks for

Yes we have to see it as trauma at first (setting the stage), power introduces it as trauma, and its later that we reclaim what power initiated by harvesting the true tale. We and power are but separated perceptual dimensions that realign again (coalesce).
