What do images such as ropes and sponges mean in feedback on remote purification?

These images are metaphors fellow practitioners use to make the states they perceive spiritually easier to understand. Ropes or sponges do not mean that everyone has the same things around them. We need to consider what was being explained during that particular service.

YOYO once shared that while purifying a mother, she sensed something like being caught in thin ropes and explained it with the image of a cowboy’s lasso. She also used the image of a sponge that had absorbed many things and become gray-black to describe the state she understood. These were YOYO’s descriptions of her own religious perceptions.

During remote work, fellow practitioners also try to explain in writing what appeared during that service and how they understood it. When reading the feedback, you do not need to fixate on descriptive words and become increasingly frightened. First understand what the description is trying to explain and the reminder it conveys.

When discussing chakras, YOYO also shared an image of a tree standing straight on the outside but seemingly burned hollow inside. She used it to describe someone who appeared strong yet was inwardly exhausted, as though emptied out. The image was intended to help understanding. Seeing a withered tree does not justify assigning the same life story to everyone.
