Whoa! What an experience! What a journey! 
It truly felt like I was reading a storybook with illustrations. Everything was so vivid and descriptive, and the pictures you added made it even easier for us to experience it along with you. It was indeed a roller coaster ride!
I hope these experiences continue to bring you more clarity and deeper understanding on your journey. When you described the first door experience in the temple along with the image, it immediately made me think of Maa Kali. 
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Welcome to Amarantos!
