greetings,

i recently joined this fabulous group and by way of
introduction i would like to express those aspects of
my spiritual development that are at least somewhat
related to david's work. in no way, shape or form do
i recommend any of my ideas or "processes" to the
others in the group, as they can make things quite
difficult, and they are indeed not fully mature. i
apologize profusely for the lengthy email though i
hope that some of you may find it interesting; the
next paragraph serves as a summary of all the rest.

"hurricane thinking" is a term i use to describe a
method of reasoning which involves the rapid analysis
of a question/idea/theme by jumping around to
different perspectives/attitudes/emotional reactions
in order to achieve a hollistic conclusion or to
improvise further ideas. as opposed to reasoning in
an ordinary linear fashion, it takes on a circular
motion that sweeps through the different possible
stands one could take on an issue. the fundamental
way it differs from mere brainstorming is that the
shifts/jumps are not arbitrary or preconceived, but
follow an elusive yet higher order. consciousness is
set free to flow with a motion that follows patterns
that are archetypal in nature, such as the archetypal
spiritual patterns discussed in the ra material. and,
finally, the actual shifts mostly seem directed by
"outside" forces, so that one can describe this method
of thought as the channelling of archetypal patterns
of movement. having gone through the archetypal
motions, insights naturally come to light, just as how
we develop spiritually by going through life's
archetypal changes.
since this definition is still vague, it is
instructive to present a brief history of my
development.
when i was in college, i would spend the weekdays in
complete solitude and i would go out of town to visit
with my parents and friends on the weekends. during
the week, i allowed my life to take on great intensity
knowing that i would return to normalcy and calm when
the week ended. usually, the week would begin with
tiny struggles and minute changes of perspective, to
accelerate and intensify by wednesday and thursday
when my shifts finally resulted in higher states of
mind; i would then gain insights and make art. on a
"good" week, i was exhausted by the time i left my
college town because to reach the higher levels i had
to go through many natural convolutions of thoughts,
emotions, and attitudes; the main point being that
these shifts in my state of mind always fascinated me
because they seemed of a higher order, they were very
artfully executed changes that helped me to arrive at
insights and helped me to spiritually evolve.
after graduating from college and over-working at a
very negatively charged company for over a year, i one
day slipped into a very strange 3-week phase triggered
by a traumatic situation at work. various events
threw me into a panic, i struggled to gather all my
spiritual strength and experience together and all of
a sudden i found that life became 20 times more
intense than i ever imagined it could be. my state of
mind was literally caught in the eye of a hurricane,
shifting with incredibly painful speed but
heightenning my awareness to a level i have yet to
re-experience; life was jam-packed with insights,
telepathy, short and long term prophecies (some of
which are still coming true), the manipulation of
daily events, visions, voices, you name it, with
hardly a moment of rest. but to make my point clear,
i was shifting in that same higher order fashion that
i did in college but in a much more intense and
quickenned fashion. the motions that used to take a
week to go through i now went through sometimes in
hours, sometimes minutes or even seconds, and the
resulting awareness was out of this world.
the downfall was that my ego was ripped to pieces and
i did not fully recuperate for roughly two years, at
times having anxiety attacks that lasted several days
in a row. however, i did manage to escape into the
white light a few times which i would take to mean
that i switched to higher vibrations. this occurred
during very, very high inspiration writing a short
piece of fiction all about "shedding the human form".
during these extremely high periods i ate no meat
(except fish), had no sexual cravings, could not drink
alcohol, and had trouble smoking cigarrettes. it was
the most natural thing in the world to abstain. if i
did any of these things i would be brought back to the
human domain which was filled at the time with fear
and emotional turbulence.
to get back to hurricane thinking: over time, i
learned to quicken the shifting of my states of mind
and emotions to come closer to the speed i experienced
in those historic 3 weeks. but, more importantly, i
could tune these shifts so that the ego was not
involved, allowing the speed of movement to increase
in proportion to the degree of selflessness and
sobriety i could maintain. this method of thinking
has helped me excel in areas such as work, spiritual
development, and artistic pursuits.
in the last few years, i have gradually gained much
more awareness of the forces which direct my movements
and provide me with visions. in short, i have
established much clearer communication with the angels
that "triangulate" about me in a "divine
configuration", to quote one of david's readings. and
they have been showing me the higher order behind the
motions in my hurricane thinking, modeling the
movements as criss-cross shapes and lines that jump
about a circle in enigmatic geometrical designs,
somewhat like crop-circle configurations. they would
speak to me as my moods and perspectives shifted,
telling me the lessons to be learned from these
changes.

any comments would be greatly welcome. i project my
love to the group.

cheers,
makram
