I know all about lies. I've told enough of them. I seem to hide my tru
self behind a seperation. I have a `face' that I put on with a false
smile trying to keep the person happy to avoid conflict, and yet i
feel seperate from this face, like I am observing it. But it isn'
detatchment, it's seperation, and the strange thing is that the
observer and the observed are the same lie.

I have just become aware of a fact. I have been seeing other people as
increasingly aware. It was like everyone was more alert, more self,
more awake than I was. But I have started to see through this. What I
was actually doing was /projecting/ my own self-conscious attitude (in
a bad way) onto the world and was seeing this waryness in others. I
thought it was theirs, that they were more wary and that I was scared
of it. But fact is that I am conscious about myself, sensitive,
paranoid, and because of this everything I look at seems to be me. As
always.

I have become very good at managing lies. I'm quite intelligent, and
that makes it possible to lie more effectively. You see, stupid people
don't lie. Or so it would seem. I think it is sometimes wise to `lie',
and what is the truth that is supposed to be adhered to anyway. But
mostly it is a deception.

Yep. Normally that kind of spam irritates me, but this was SO overdone, and
the k-list was so incongruous a place to find it, that I had to work hard
not to bust out laughing (my coworkers in the adjoining cubicles might not

I work for the BBC and we're making a documentary which will cover Kundalini yoga.

I'm looking for a skilled Kundalini yoga practioner who is based in England (preferrably near London) who would be happy to be filmed practicing the yoga and talking about it. Although I know of many people who practice Yogi Bhajan's form of Kundalini yoga. We would like to film the more extreme form where practioners are able to get themselves into extraordinary contortionist positions.

Do you know of anyone who could help me?

I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for your help.

I can forsee a few days of problems and missed and missent posts but if
we all know about it it should take less than a week to get transitioned
over. Based on my experience on other lists and the explination our
keeper of the list gave, I say move the list!

If it'll get rid of some of the trash it'll help keep us focused and
that would be a good thing. Most of the last digest, including my
contribution, were in response to "Barbie" who probably couldn't spell
Kundalini without copying it from a sheet of paper in front of her and
having that proofed. We don't need help getting off topic and I for one
don't need any more spam from any sources.

Also, as I recall from other lists, majordomo handles the list version
differently, read that as much better. I believe it actually compiles
the digest version as one long message rather than the heading letter
and 10 to 30 attachments we get now. That way is much much better IMHO.
Now to respond to a post I must be sure to put everything I want to in
my response into the clipboard because when I hit reply (at least on my
e-mail system) I get none of the messages, only the header, because the
rest were attachments. That explains why this is "Re" with no original
text in it, I forgot to copy it before I hit reply and decided not to go
back and get it.

Namaste,

Joe

Thanks for putting it all in perspective, Jack! I just realized that
complete innocence is a potent protection from the uglies that get
shoved in our faces. Hopefully "Barbie" will grow up and find something
better to do with her time. Although now that I think of it, my Barbie
dolls haven't aged a bit in 35 years. Must have a good plastic surgeon.

Well, maybe sometimes some sort of polite facade can be necessary - you
don't want to go into eye-contact shaktipat with everyone you meet, do you?
;) But generally I think it is best to just be yourself and let others
worry about their reactions.

People generally observe not other people, but their projections - the
things they like or dislike about themselves, and things like that.
Generally, it is easiest to notice something that creates the strongest
emotional response, and that is because of the attachment of some sort.
When there are no such motivations, things can be observed as what they
truly are - the way you would observe something that leaves you completely
calm and neutral.

I don't see much good reasons to lie, to not say the truth yes, but not to
lie. Lie comes out of fear. When you have no fear, the truth just flows
naturally.

The idea about moving the list is very good, this way we just end up
talking about interesting pieces of spam. :))

We ALL have! Unfortunately we are not all aware of it!
Now you may have sense a feeling like WAKING UP...
It's not only about "unveiling" the world, but, first of all, YOURSELF.
You may start to SEE and HEAR what IS instead of what you think it is.

IMO it's hardly worth moving just because of the little bit of spam I'm

Hi there.

I've been practicing energyworks for some time now, by using Taoist
techniques (a good book on the subject is Mantak Chia's 'Awaken Healing
Energy Through The Tao').

According to my opinion, the negative side effects of "the awakening of
kundalini", are similar to side effects which occur when the energy
is "stuck" in a sensitive area of the body. I'm not sure, but I think
that it's quite possible that "kundalini awakening", is nothing but a
misuse of the chi.

Energyworks can be a wonderful thing, but only if practiced safely.
Kundalini meditations, as far as I can tell, lead the user into a
situation, in which negative side-effects happen to appear.

It's almost as if Kundalini meditations were designed to abuse the
circulation of the energy in the body, thus causing side effects.
These side effects, make people mistakenly believe they are
experiencing some sort of an enlightenment.

... Just a thought folks ...

   Still collecting votes.. but so far, the side that wants to endure the
spam and leave the list as it is, is winning.
  They are enjoying the humor, and willing to exercise their delete key.
  Cool for me..
  Interesting, that the spam on the list increased right around the time
that I asked Lobster to stop posting jokes and he left in a pout.. some
kinda karmic balancing..??

  What you are not taking into account in your decision making
process...which I do, and it is why I am resistant to the idea.. is the
net-work involved in moving the list..
  The KRC K-list pages will all have to be updated, we are updating the
K-list website already so no big deal there.. but the kundalini list has
links and directory listings all over the place that will go out of date,
unless I keep an address open for the old list at execpc to forward folks
to the new list address.. and as long as I am paying a bill at excepc,
they might as well host the list.. know what I mean??
  It's bigger than just moving us.. it is asking for the assistance of
everyone who supports the list by linking to it, to spend time updating
their links page so we can save a few moments by not having to delete the
odd bit o' spam..
  With moving the website it is easier, coz Richard is willing to put a
linking page in place when the site moves..

   I think being focused is an individual responsibility.. blaming
environment or spam is illusory.
  I too indulged ego with posting humor about Barbie.. perhaps it is our
resistance to spam that is attracting it.. :) With a light touch of spirit
humor.. we are getting mostly silly stuff.. I do wonder about it, why it Is..

   So does this one.. that's how everybody else gets it..
  Joe, You are getting the Hotmail advertising surprise package.. they
are splitting up your digest into separate posts to allow them to send you
more spam.. one advert per post, right??
  Sorry to disappoint you about hotmail, but there's no free lunch, as they
say..

   Or get a real email address.. they are fun. I have um.. let's see.. with
all the lists and servers and domains.. probably about 20 addresses I can
be reached at, but I usually just use one to avoid confusion.. :) Most of
them are not outgoing anyways, but the from field can say anything..
   Mebbie we oughta use the K-phenomena list, which is sitting mostly idle,
to discuss the phenomena of K-list spam humor.. :)

Anurag asked:

> Can anyone explain astral projection?
> seeker,

First, one has to become conscious of the astral body. Then, one has to
increase the awareness of it to the extent that one is able to move it. The
astral body is linked to the physical body with a cord and moving away from
the physical body often induces fear. Unless this fear is conquered, no
astral travel is possible. So strictly speaking it isn't projection, but
travel. It isn't the only way for out-of (physical) body experiences; in
lucid dreams one has also the possibility to go where ever one wants to. As
in both states one can do things like touch the moon, some think several
siddhis refer to the state where one is operating in the astral body. These
practices are a kind of balancing on a razor's edge: with astral travel,
fear of breaking the cord or falling asleep - with lucid dreaming, the
thinking process has to be kept both going and controlled, else lucid
dreaming changes into a "normal" dream or one wakes up. When these things
come as a side-effect of one's spiritual practice, they are nice, but
compared to experience of Self, they are mere toys. If one wants to make an
effort, the practice of dream-yoga is useful in meditation and will enable
lucid dreaming.

In principle, spammers can invade everywhere, so moving the list won't be a
solution. Until now it hasn't been so bad. IMO a better solution could be to
change the rules and prohibit spamming explicitly (tresspassers will be
fined say, $50.000, if US law permits it). Any unrecognized E-mail address
could be replied to with a copy of the regulations and the owner of the mail
has to agree before mail is passed to the server. As this process can be
automated, it won't mean extra work to maintain the list and a member once
in a while posting from somewhere else won't object if the copy of the rules
is sent without delay.
