Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
spiritualism is. Okay, she asks, "When you are in that state of
confusion, that over stimulated nervous system, what you do to let
the transition take place? I described this as my being in a chaotic
state, and that it's like being in an ocean and a wave is blocking
you, but you can almost get over it, but still struggle. I can't get
past the wave but want to. How do you get past this wave?” Kim
asks.
MATT KAHN: I'll give two answers. The first is the simple answer,
and the second just more instructing. The first answer is the way
you get past it is by surviving it. What would help someone in this
space is allowing the body to relax in what it hasn't been taught to
relax in. And the way we do this is whenever confusion arises, we
just recognize that confusion is the next aspect of the infinite
whole that is here to be loved as it's never been loved before.
So I would say to Kim, instead of labeling confusion, just locate
where do I feel the confusion in my body. And if I just close my
eyes, and silently send for about a minute or two minutes a silent
stream of I love yous to that part of my body, as if the confusion is
only here to be acknowledged and loved as being equal to the sum
of the whole, that the suffering we feel in confusion is based on the
body interpreting the differences we've imposed upon it with
meaning and words.
So every time something arises whether it's anger, sadness,
jealousy, betrayal, confusion, apathy, withdrawal, whatever it is,
it's just the next flavor in the ice cream parlor that arises in our
emotional body, and we locate it in our body, and we then just
send a silent stream of I love yous to the confusion, not trying to
change it, not trying to enhance it, or unravel it, just to send I love
yous to that part of the body and allowing what is unraveling in
that part of the body to happen on its own.
So I would say that it's kind of like a relationship between a parent
and child. A parent doesn't have to constantly wake up their child
during night terrors, but lovingly hold them while they dream.
