John: Well, when you put it that way...*S*...
 First of all, thank you for a calm response (and fast!) to my emotional
reaction. (after sending it, I took my coffee out on the porch and lay
in the sun with my houndettes and pondered my irksome habit of swatting
at flies with a twenty pound hammer...)
 Secondly, I agree. Trying to find that middle ground myself. Those
shades of grey between black and white hold many beautiful colors...

 Have a great day. :-)

John: I 'spose that is what is meant by detachment. A worthwhile state
to be in *while* interacting.
(and a great way to avoid flaming fellow posters...)

It is hours away
Let´s send out love all together
Let`s pray for peace and tolerance
and for the healing of ecologic unbalances
This is for us and for the children

Let´s ask for no one trying to take over
Let´s ask for their big egos to give up and chose real life
For healing, laughing and showing the love we all have inside.

For all who need healing, the people in pain and the people recovering.

For the ones who plan to take over the world, to melt their hearts and bring
out the light that never goes out.

It is a day we have dreamt of for generations.

Please pass it over, tell everyone, be strong and send awareness out there.

It takes one small bulb to lighten up a big room!

6.30 pm eastern time (Miami) for the time on your city you can go to:

Hello.

I have been and am experiencing a higher than usual sense of oneness.
I have been seeing parts of people that I didn't know were there, like
fascial features which were hidden in amongst the bits I used to
choose to focus on. It seems I am more able to look at what I used to
call uglyness and it's surprising, because regardless of wether you
could describe it as ugly or not it looks complete, that it is meant
to be that way, and I can handle it.

I noticed as I listened to my mother on the telephone that I could
/feel/ she had love in her, that I could hear it in her voice, and she
almost sounded like a different person to what I am used to. And my
sister was talking to my mother in what seemed to be an unusually
mature fashion. It's as though people have become more spiritual
overnight.

And the strange thing is that I have a feeling that I am the source or
cause of this change, that I am the influence that is having this
effect. It's as though somehow I am at the root of what makes these
people what they are. I feel like I have more power to change things,
that asserting who I am into the world is making it change, making it
more handleable, that I can see parts which I couldn't see before but
which make the picture more complete.

What is this power to change? What is this ability to transform the
appearance of others and thus, I presume, the way they really are? And
what's that illusion doing there saying that things are seperate?

Hello.

This kundalini list is fast becoming the most important list I'm
connected to. It has me thinking all sorts of new thoughts and
approaching things from different angles.

This afternoon I found myself confronted with something I can only
refer to as meditation. I was starting to realise that maybe after all
I am actually very idealistic and that it was my /concentration/ and
effort that was making me unhappy. I got to wondering what it would be
like to not concentrate, as I looked out of my window at the world. I
figured that concentration was a form of exclusion, denying something
so that you can focus in on something else. So I tried not to deny any
bits, tried not to have opinions about individual aspects of what I
was looking at, tried not to make observations such as that a bird was
moving a certain way or that things were a certain colour. It didn't
take me long to realise just the extent to which I am narrow minded
and unwholistic - two things I had always believed I wasn't. And it
has ignited in me kind of a knowing, an agreement, that I /need/ to
meditate or be more meditative. I feel that I need to be more
disciplined. I seem to have no integrity.

Thankyou for helping bring this to my attention.

Harsha: Yes. Find the Source of the "I" that needs more discipline. If that
is done with intensity, all other discipline can be dispensed with.

Hello.

I think I have just had/am having a revelation. It's not me, it's not
my fault, I am not the one that is wrong. I am not the one who doesn't
understand or is not wise. People are asleep. They are shutting me
out, shutting out oneness, and that is all that is offending me. A
/reality/ of being one, makes the mind look so confused. Thinking is
so narrow-minded, controlled, restrained, ambitious, goal-oriented. I
can't handle people being seperate people in seperate bodies. It's not
right. I am aware, paintfully aware, mentally intimate, of people's
sleepyness. It's almost too much to bear and that makes me sad,
thinking I am wrong. But I am not wrong. I can change reality. I am in
control. I have the choice. The world is going to wake up to something
I have always known about. It must. It simply must. It will. I have to
start asserting myself, making a change, altering the world. Because I
can and I will because I am not wrong.

Actually, this sentiment, although incredibly empowering, can lead to problems
for a soul if held too tightly....I can speak from personal experience here!

Working through the whole Right/Wrong way of thinking is so tough...my heart
goes out to Paul, and I wish him all the strength he needs to persevere....

In my experience, Kundalini awakening occurs in stages, and Paul seems right
on schedule with his struggle.

Hope he keeps posting,

Paul:

I read your post and felt I knew exactly what you mean....about seeing all
this transformative spiritual changes and feeling as if it's all
connected...and that you are playing a catalytic role.....

I paraphrased your words.....but I think I'm being fair......and I am feeling
very much the same here in my little micro/macrocosm....I keep getting this
mental image of concentric rings of water rippling out.....all located in
different locations, but all echoes of each other......

I want to avoid the ego trap I fear I'm setting for myself if I concede I may
be the drop......I think/hope that I'm not.......rather......I suspect more
strongly that this experience is about experiencing synchronicity with the
underlying patterns that fuel the universe..... You know, the whole idea that
"what is within is what is without" kind of thinking...And I'm just riding one
of the waves......trying to be as aware as I can...

On the other hand.....the awareness itself does create a sense of
responsibility...to move in harmony with it....so I am making decisions,
influencing some of the people around me as much as I can, and seeing changes
in their lives.....and vice versa....people are influencing me, and helping
make healing changes in my life as well...from whatever point on whatever wave
they're riding .....

I hope my words make as much sense to you as yours did to me....

Paul.....I enjoyed your post very much.....I hope I hear from you again...I
am still figuring out how this network mail works....will this letter really
be sent to 400 other people???

If yes, then, WOW!!! What a wave!!!

Chuckle,

Trystan,

Your mention of "too tightly". Do you mean having a set expectation, rather
than clearly visualizing what you want, and then letting go? What sort of
problems did you experience?

Also, what do you mean by the right/wrong way of thinking. I guess that is
the inherent problem with thinking i.e duality, rather than doing. Do you
mean all of the different ideas of how one should be/think, that a person
goes through on a spiritual path? (the relinquishment of ego mind). I sure
have had a few!

Chris

I feel inclined to accept this statement at face value...... I too believe
there is "nothing" when it comes to creating an identity about personal
enlightenment...

When Ashanka writes IF there were traits, we could be enlightened through mere
mimicry, I think this teacher is trying to point out the problem inherent in
trying to define enlightenment...

I am enjoying the zillions of letters I'm getting to peek at through this
network, although their sheer volume was surprising!!! I have noticed some
folks are publishing what appears to be written dialogues.....how is this
possible without a chat room??? Are folks using E-Mail or flash messaging for
this???

Thanks,

trystan
