I did a ritual rebirth completely naked in a lava tube in the Big Island of Hawaii. I can’t believe, as I look back, how uninhibited I was and so intent on changing through such a bold physical act. Fortunately I had a guide to move me in and out of the dark watery womb and into the daylight after risking the experience of such an unknown part of nature. I took a course on how to see thought forms, practiced remote viewing and considered the possibilities of angels. I had my own mystical experiences…again without drugs. I was just willing to be open. Actually, I hungered for a profound relationship with whatever lay beyond the thin veneer of the common place. Often this meant I felt lonely yet embraced by…what? And yet, after all these adventures my conclusion was: what was the point? Was any of this journeying getting me anywhere useful in the “real world?” My interest and penalties i n overdue taxes kept growing like a cancer. So did the shame and embarrassment around it. I was well beyond 35 and then the next milestone of 40. Piss poor bank account, failed love affairs, unresolved relationship with my family, burning my bridges behind me in response to my love/hate affiliation with NYC. There just had to be something else, something more to this existence. Navigation Web Links January 2014 Lucienne Lovelette TheArtMagazine Collection International 491
