Boundary therapy
Posted: Fri Aug 06, 2021 12:57 am
When I retired in 2017, I decided to spend six months per year (the winter) traveling to warm places. I have spent a lot of time in SE Asia, especially Cambodia. My wife is a professional a decade younger than me. She is very different than me. For example, she may have 4 drinks a year, whereas I drink 4 drinks per day, etc. So while I traveling, I try to have acid about every 3 days (avoids tolerance) and sometimes once per week as well as other things.
With that background, I would like to share my thoughts on the Boundry.
1. Traveling is great for reducing Boundry, especially with acid. To abandon one’s culture and adopt another has a powerful effect on Boundary. For example a Thai massage in a strange land on acid reveals the doppelgänger force moving in the body. The ex-pat experience is great for growing through strange people. Etc.
2. It is obvious to me and those that know me that I have long had “boundary issues.” I often see other people as myself. In specific example, when I gave palliative care to hospice patients, my compassion experience made it difficult to not see them as me. Most of the time, that worked well, but in a few family members, with strong boundaries, there were some minor complaints about my initiative to my supervisor. In other words, whatever beliefs they had, I accepted. If they had religious beliefs, I identified. If they had unmet needs, such as hooking them up with a faith leader, I would do that (sometimes their faith leaders would not visit them at their home, when they were bedridden). Buddhist, Shinto, Hindu, Jain, Baptist, Evangelical, Mormons, Jews, Muslims, etc. Facing certain death, they sometimes came to new beliefs and experiences that their family had trouble facing. But I listened and listened and their experience became part of my experience. (It is amazing how clear-sighted some people facing certain death can be; especially when they are seeing beyond the veil.). Etc.
3. My “boundary issue” was intensified by my Guru, who used his power to lift all my personal identities (so that what remained was what I truly am).
4. Ego always persists. I’m still best friend with my human ego. But he is kind of a rascal and embarrasses me sometimes. But he gets the shit done in the storm of time. Like typing this.
Since I am new here and walking old threads, I am wondering if anyone else is in this boat? Is your Boundary evolving? If so, what are your insights and experiences? Are you sometimes meta-conscious of psychic experiences, such as clairvoyance? Etc.
