Speaking of synchronicity, as somebody was...I'll continue my little
story of my Mom dying and my subsequent vision quest via Allied from LA
to DC. The synchronicities have been flying fast and furious since I
got on the plane. Last night I held a Passover Seder and one of my
guests pulled me aside and said his lover (whom I'd just met) had begun
to get "messages" all of a sudden and needed to speak to me so I went
and got him, the lover, and he said this woman kept coming to him
saying he was going to her daughter's for dinner that night and he was
to tell her thus and so (mundane matters meaningful only to me) and
that she was fine. As some of you may recall, I was in a dilemma
before she died as to whether I should tell her how HER mother had come
to me because Mom was pretty much an atheist/sceptic. Seems now she's
got the handle on the this stuff, wherever it is she is, she's talking
to whoever's got a channel open! Love, Holly

Douglas, as someone who believes that perfection of a siddha requires
refinement of the control of energy which directly relates to the energy used
for Kundalini, I find any and all techniques relating to auras, chakras,
energy paths, ect. very helpful in my pursuit of Kundalini. I would be

Why is the human race not enlightened already if people have known of
Kundalini for all this time. True that K comes and goes on her own accord,
but I take a proactive stance on my religion. I would go as far as to say
that I believe that our current human life is not as important as our
knowledge of, and attempt to connect with universal
love/nirvana/enlightenment. I don't know alot about everything, but I do
know that I've experience K, and it is a path I should pursue, I wish it were
easyier to find the information one needs for such a persuit. I feel
compeled to remind everyone that walking down the street is a life
threatening experience, but when done with care and precautions can be done
without harm, K should be viewed likewise, it can be dangerous so precautions
should be made. You don't drive a car without care, but it can take you lots
of cool places, so be it with K. I take big risks in the hopes of big gains,
and I feel that the big gain of K (and related experiences) is my perpose for
exsistence. Forgetting about it is not an option :)

 *Thank you for your response. Obviously the k-list is not the
bastion of the Dark Side. :-}. But you don't have to be dangerous to
attract the attention of warriors, as certain Japanese monks found when

Always glad to incite K
Insight into K probably also worthwhile :)

Stephen Bozzi:

 *Definitions, anyone? "Ego" is the Latin for "I"; psychologists use
it as a term for *part* of the human psyche. But here we're agreeing to use
it as shorthand to describe a condition of identification as an individual,
rather than part of the whole. IMHO, they're different but similar items.

 Just got something, Stephen. I am not these pixels. Get it? On the
internet, flame wars begin because we can't see who we're talking at, and
we feel an illusion of separateness. This is where the rubber hits the

I see a flame war on the horizon. The right and proper function for a
warrior is to stop conflict, not to cause it. So I apologize for whoever I
might have hurt. If there are specific instances that you would like to
share with me where I have been smug, superior or contentious, I would
appreciate if you'd explain them to me them via private email. I have had
enjoyable philosophical discussions with many on the list here, and for
that I am thankful. Also people have sincerely tried to help me understand
the kundalini phenomenon and answer my questions, and for that I am also
grateful. I sense a need to move on.

isnt this how humans have satisfied their need for identity for

i hope a glimpse of the future would reveal less tribalistic

good question, forgive me if i vent my crackpot theory about that:

because K confers no reproductive advantage to the individual, only to
the culture (via healing, weather modification, migration strategy
etc).
K is probably a reproductive disadvantage on an individual basis.
so, historically, it is sufficient for the survival
advantage of a tribe if only a few people in the tribe are K aware.

which is why shamans, schizophrenics, epileptics, and K awakened
all have about the same population percentages, 1-2%.

though nowadays, what with the global crises, the equation is changed
somewhat, and it probably does behoove us all to take the proactive
course re K, or rather, let K take the proactive course with us?

either way...

But nothing in what sense? I'm no expert on all the various mystical
schools, though I have, of course, heard much about 'nothing' and
'emptiness'. But for me, this 'nothing' is a misnomer. I think this nothing
is not nothing but, rather, _unity_. Yes, the things of the physical world
are _illusory_ in that they pretend to have an existence independent of one
another but that doesn't mean they don't exist. It means (I think) that they
actually exist (you and I and everything else) as the one unified entity of
which the universe is actually composed. You referred to it as a
'background' in our previous exchange and I would agree. But a background is
not nothing. I make this point because, for me, all this talk of 'nothing'
can be deceptive. It envisions the universe in very depressing, nihilistic
terms (for me anyway. For you?).

To be honest, I have never seen nothing. I don't believe there is such a
thing as nothing. That's not just semantics, now. Here's a simple metaphor:
if I look at the space between my two hands (held, say, a foot apart) I can
trick myself into thinking there's nothing there. But it isn't so. That
space transmits light and sound, for instance, and nothing, strictly
speaking, wouldn't be able to do that because nothing would have no
properties at all (my view, anyway). That space is like your 'background'.
Singular and undifferentiated, yes, but an existant entity nonetheless. And
as the saying goes "Thou Art That!"

For me, the difference between these 2 ideas: nothing and singularity can be
felt. 'Nothing' creates in me a sort of hopelessness, whereas 'unity'
creates a sense of quiet, profound belonging. The best I can determine is
that the 'still small voice within' is our link to this true identity
(background). And if I tune into it I can feel that identity as something
very worthy, quietly beautiful, profound and peaceful.

More Nothing Is:

> Could I missing something that

Hmmm. Somebody (Lobster, maybe?) was recently talking about how the world we
experience around us is actually a mirror of our inner self. So a switch in
how I look at myself would result in a change in how I experience society.
When I am centered and aware of the peaceful sense of self I mentioned
above, the world reflects that in a supportive way. Self as unity creates
world as unity. I see a worthiness in the world and I can get a lot out of
it.

Just my two cents, take it with a grain, or a pillar, of salt.

Very interesting. I have read some books where people described their
physical kundalini symptoms. Some (at least one!) of those people made
specific reference to their left foot (I think it was the left) as an early
site of those physical symptoms. Seems similar to your situation of a snake
"bringing to you" the Kundalini "snake", beginning with that foot.

As far as the significance of the 'way it starts'...I don't know. Many of us
on this list have had very hard painful K experiences too (Ram Peswani spoke
recently about this) so I don't know if we can blame the snake in India that
bit you for the pain of the Kundalini "snake."

Anyone else know about possible significance of this left foot location?

Best to you,
Paul

Hi Kundalites,

Feeling Powerful?

Now having psychic gifts is all very nice

If people put some kind of header on the top

we may be able to make the world a better place . . .
We can pray for people (or Zap them with Love)
or send them healing
or do a ritual
or send them metta (buddhist compassion)
kindle their kundalini
just send them our best wishes
even a good joke (in this case via me - he likes the Marx Brother type
humour)
-- do not feel silly -- it does make a difference ---
whatever is our tradition or best intention . . .
Let us surprise and support, direct and focus our energies

Are you saying dont even pick up the kundalini book and do the exercises
unless you have had some kind of kundalini awakening already?

Hi guys... most of you probably don't remember me... I've already
posted a newbie post. I've just kinda' been hanging out trying to
digest everything that flies around in here... quite a bit I must
say!

Anyway, I consider myself still at the level of hinayana, and I
cannot deny that I feel very jealous at times of the degree of
awakeing and love that people in here have. I meditate a lot... I
read a lot... I try to do good, and I try to just do. My question is
this... what has worked for you? What got you beyond the lower
vehicles? I'm just asking for guidance, assured to recieve more than
I could have ever imagined.

Regards,
Slug
