		<description><![CDATA[Hey
 My spiritual experience has been amazing as well. Dec, 31, 2012 was when I could breathe for the first time. I have completely lost my identity(ego).I have had dreams of egyptian symbols and amazing life revelations. There is nothing to gain and nothing to lose. I feel love, peace, and a happiness that I have never experienced in my human life before. There is a deep will inside me whispering to be honest,pure, and trustworthy in myself, because that is all there is. Live for the moment, in the moment, live the dream.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello, I am writing to you and grateful for your posting here. I am however very distressed not by my kundalini (which has passed) but by the fact that i was not honored and aided in my journey i was heavily medicated and locked away in a hospital. i have heard of people having multiple awakenings, have i missed my chance? i learned a lot and i know a lot of this universe, but im worried i may have lost certain abilities of distant discernment and healing. please tell me if i should continue the path with renewed vigor or if i have lost out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Congrats on breaking away from the medical system. They are asleep.
I think my family has this mind virus, they don&#039;t seem human anymore. They have apathy towards the crisis that is going on all over the world. IT is disturbing to me to see my family members show such indifference to suffering of others and even their own family members. I think their brains have been taken over by some imposter. There is something very very wrong with them. They are not fully in their bodies anymore, it&#039;s very sad. 
I&#039;m glad people like you are speaking out. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

		<description><![CDATA[Paul, I was most fortunate to have a friend who knew what I was experiencing and to hold my hand through my awakening over the past two years. I can&#039;t imagine the pain of going through it alone. Last year your Wetiko book was recommended and I found it a fascinating read. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a little more than 5 years past an extreme and intense spiritual opening that introduced me to the deepest expression of love for the universe,and simultaneously ended a lifetime of self rejection. It was a clear state of emergency for me and all who were part of my life at the time. It was also a time when great gentleness touched and transformed my soul.

Interspersed with experienced moments of profound clarity and sensitivity,for which I had no real language, was an entry into what was sometimes a fleeting, and other times a deep dive into the space of psychosis. Although I rejected the care of those in psychiatry, even with required hospitalization I got better, not sicker.My friends were the greatest support and none of us had ever heard of such a thing as a spiritual emergency. I became increasingly aware or and sensitive to the energies, symbolism, and in born harmonious perfection in the connectedness of all of Life. For a time, I lost my ability to communicate in English (which is my native language) and could only rely on symbolism. My behaviors were sometimes erratic and out of control, as I worked through a kind of change from within and a final releasing of a lifetimes of traumas and pain.

Oh, how much I would enjoy some interaction with others who understand. I found my way to CWG, Ken Wilbur&#039;s materials, and a few other resources, but have yet to meet anyone who has experienced such an intense, abrupt transformation that resulted in complete loss of identity, for a new self understanding and life vision.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Paul, looks like our view is fairly similar. Just now listening to you being interviewed on madness radio. I also entered the psychiatric system, and at the moment I&#039;m still an involuntary patient. My thought is that our essential nature is the same as all consumers/survivors/(ex)patients. Cheers David]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This reminds me of me.  This is my story...

The magician showed me that the rings were linked.  He allowed me to inspect them and I agreed they were joined.  Then he slide them apart and they both disappeared because they couldnt exist independently.
  And what I saw I cant quite define, because it was just my imagination.  And yet it was the highest reality.  It was the Absolute.]]></description>
