Thank you Gloria. I've encountered situations like this several times and I 
can't begin to tell you how much I enjoy this. To me, this is heaven. I don't 
know how to express it.

Subject: Re: everything

Sheesh, I've never been so talkative in all my life. I've always lived
"in my head", even as a child.

I'm 40, Melissa, so sorry. I was raised a Catholic, but left the Church when 
I was 13 because I thought they treated women like second class citizens, 
which I still think today. But the K made me reconsider the teachings of 
Jesus, and I must say I agree with Him. But still when I see a priest, I 
can't help but think of the merchants in the temple... 

Your own truth will reveal itself to you. Trust yourself over other people.

Subject: Unidentified subject!

To Richard, 

May I express my gratitude for this mailing list that enable us to exchange 
on this very touchy subject that we can't discuss with our friends in 
general. I live in a small town and I've found already 3 other people whom I 
feel are experiencing the K forces. Why now? I'm sorry to say that one of 
them had his awakening subsequent to a reiki course, or opening of the canal. 
He's now on antidepressants and not ready to hear anything on the subject. 
One other person, I have those dreams about, premonitions or divinations. Is 
there a reason this phenomenon would expand? Please, no millenium madness 
argument, I've thought of this one.

Love to all. Viviane

Subject: questions

I would really like some opinions on a few things:  My strange experience 
at church, which I described in my last post; I'd like to know if people 
on this list think it is wrong or unwise for someone to deliberately try 
to awaken Kundalini if it doesn't happpen spontaneously and why or why 
not; and possible explanations/reasons for a "vision" a had mid-Kundalini 
experience.  I will describe it shortly.

I know that noone knows everything; I just want some input.  As several 
people have mentioned, your intuition should be your own guide.  But I 
have found recently that my mind is so cluttered, it takes a few 
suggestions directly related to my question for me to be able to use it. 
I know that sounds crazy, but at this point my intuition needs a little 
boost--a little exercise, if you will.  Perhaps it will help strenthen it 
for me.  I would really appreciate some opinions.  You may e-mail me 
directly if you wish.

This is my "vision":  A while back, I was about to drift off to sleep 
when I heard a pop in my left ear; then I felt a warm ooze inside my ear. 
Only it wasn't liquid--it felt like "energy water."  That's the only way 
I can describe it.  Immediately after this, I saw through closed lids in 
a dark room what looked like a distant black movie screen.  Very rapidly, 
it was replaced by another, a shade lighter--then another, a shade 
lighter--and so on, about 7 or 8 times, all in about 2 seconds.  The 
screens never progressed to color or light, but graduated from black to 
medium-grey, a shade at a time.  Then, out of the corners of my eyes, 
came the outline of a large red square.  It zoomed in quickly to the 
center of the last "screen," shrinking in size and ending a 
fully-filled-in tiny red square.  It stayed for about 30 seconds.  I have 
been perplexed by this strange "vision," nothing like it happened before 
or since.  I wonder if there is some special meaning for it or message to 
me in it that I just haven't gotten.  All comments and suggestions are 
welcome, on the list or privately.

Thanks in advice for your comments.

Love to all, Melissa

>Hi, My name is Pam.  I'm looking for practical advice for coping with

Hi Pam, 

I don't know how long you've been on this list, and this may be something 
you've already read when I posted the same thing to Patti. The thing I know 
about that I think would be the most help is  to work with what's called a 
MAP team. I know you're probably used to some of the "stranger" things in 
life, but this was really strange for me when I first heard about it, and so 
I'm just offering this little caveat. Anyway, the MAP team is a group of 
ascended souls ( I think of them as Boddhisattvas) from the "White 
Brotherhood", (NOT a racist group!) They're ascended beings, Jesus Christ 
being one of them. They are eager and ready to help with us with the 
physical problems accompanying spiritual evolution and K movement. The way 
to work with them is outlined in a book called:  _MAP: The Co-Creative White 
Brotherhood Medical Assistance Program_  by Machelle Wright. She wrote the 
book after her own experiences with severe head pain associated with 
spiritual expansion led her to discover and work with these entities for 
relief from the pain. (She was a Findhorn researcher doing work with nature 
and plant spirits.) 

 The work is very easy and uncomplicated, she recommends using flower and 
plant essences and muscle testing as adjuncts to the work with the 
MAP team, but neither are necessary and I have done this work without them. 
My experiences with this work have been phenomenally beneficial on every 
level. There's absolutely nothing complicated, difficult or expensive about 
this work, and I can't recommend it highly enough. You literally have your 
own team of "physicians" working on you on all levels of existence. By the 
way, I've been a bodyworker for 12 years and don't take this sort of thing 
lightly, but for the kinds of problems you've been having I think this would 
be fantastic. It's helped me a lot with the difficulty sleeping, especially.

If you're interested and can't find the book based on what I've told you, 
I'll send the address where you can order it directly. I'm actually going to 
post the address to this mailing list very soon, as other people have 
expressed interest in it, too. 

Other suggestions would be getting help from a Network chiropractor, as they 
sort of specialize in K energy (people have had varying degrees of help from 
them), a Reiki practitioner, a Trager practitioner, and/or also checking 
into Re-evaluation Co-counseling-- a great way to remove the blockages that 
the energy may be running into. If you're interested in the "RC" counseling, 
a peer  counseling technique taught and practiced by "non-professionals" I 
can find out for you who to contact in your area about learning about it.

I know these aren't the most immediate answers, like maybe you were hoping 
for, but as far as the MAP work goes, as soon as you get the book and start 
doing it, help is definitely almost immediate.

hope any of this is helpful
Jenny

p.s. to the list folks, sorry about re-posting this info, but i couldn't get 
an email to Pam

p.p.s 
to Carlo-- I know this MAP stuff must seem absurd to you, but all I can say 
is that it's done tremendous things for me. For all I know, it may just be a 
funny way of accessing my own power to heal myself, but somehow the idea 
that there are benevolent beings assisting me from "the great beyond" is a 
comfort to me. Who knows, perhaps that comfort accounts for a more powerful 
"placebo" effect, if that's all it is, anyway. But if it is just a placebo, 
at least it's free! Well, except for the price of the book, about $14, I think.

Dear Melissa:

Please accept my two cents worth.  My understanding is that there is no
problem at all in deliberately awakening this kundalini. In fact that is
what most yoga schools of  thought teach.  There is a real danger however
involved
in not having a solid foundation first to which I surely never had.  In the 
state mental hospitals you will always see patients that really should not
belong in such a place.

I was in the medical fild for many years so that is way I mentioned this.
 The patients just went out of control due to the fact that so much (strange
new and different) material came into their consciousness so fast.  There is
just way to much on the other side for any one person to comprehend and sort
out alone.  Of course the natural awakening is much better because it happens
at you own speed. You may wonder what the awakening has to do with the other
side?  If you notice the out of body experiences go hand in hand with a lot
of people and probably most.

Concerning the intuition part of your letter.  The way entities communicant
on the 
other side is just by only intuition. ( My own remarks ).    So the more you
come in tune with your true self the more intuition you will have.
 Foundation again!
It seems clear to me that you must start working on your self right a way and
I would really advise (suggest) that you not try to awaken this force at this
time.  I am just trying to help you because once you get stuck it is very
difficult to get good help.

There are just so many aspects involved centering around this kundalini
like for example your ears popping.  I hope that is all the problems that you
will encounter.  If so you are real lucky.  Foundation is the keyword.  

I tried to answer you the best that I could.  

Good luck 
Von

Richard,

What's wrong with the mailing list?  There have been NO messages posted 
today--I usually have at least 10 by now.  I tried to post a message last 
night at 2 am--still no copy on my computer, and I got an e-mail saying 
that kundalini-lATNOSPAMexecpc.com is having mailing problems.  What kind of 
problems, do you know?  Will it be fixed soon?  The list is almost my 
life's blood!  Hope everything gets fixed up soon.  

Concerned, Melissa

Did anyone else get such a message from the list?  If so, please send a copy
to me off line (libraATNOSPAMexecpc.com).  Also, if any of you have noticed
problems please let me know what they have been and approximately when they
occurred.  This would be a big help.

Subject: White fog - Lubuvitcher Rebbe

Last night I was at a fundraiser honoring the Lubuvitcher Rebbe.  For those
of you who are not familiar with him, he was a very powerful individual, who
could and did effect people from all walks of life, sometimes simply by
looking at or touching them.  His strongest quality was his overwhelming
love for all people from all races as individuals.  It was this awareness
which came over me almost as a presence.

At this presentation, a short video was shown of the giving of the U.S.
Congressional gold medal, presented recently posthumously.  Interspersed
were pictures of him at various times in his life.  Throughout the evening,
the vision out of my left eye blanked in and out, as if by a white fog. 
While this was going on, I sensed a palpable lightness about my head and
torso.  The experience faded in and out repeatedly.

Sensations are pretty common for all of us.  I tend to observe them, and not
give them to much importance.  But this was pretty odd (for me).  Has anyone
else experienced anything like this?

Richard

Subject: To Judy/Blowing Out Bulbs

Dear Judy and Kundalini Friends:

I am new to this list and will tell my story at a later date (it's 
fraught with melodrama :)  As for the light bulbs, I have found that the 
energy pulses I feel constantly entering and exiting my body do effect 
the electrical appliances around me. Light bulbs go out or on, I've been 
through three cars in six months, etc. I've been working on some way to 
use the energy to lenghthen the life of these things... So far all I have 
been able to do is to change the vibration of a flickering candle (which 
always returns to its original flickering when I stop concentrating on 
it). If I figure anything out, Judy, I'll let you know. Love, David Farthing
