Hi!

I read Kimberlys reply, and felt it resonate with my own experiences.
(Thank you, Kimberly, and to the person you replied to.) I won't write much
about them, but rather about the reason I withdrew from the K-millieu, why I
didn't feel like running the original Kundalini-l anymore and why I haven't
been very active on _this_ list.

On K-l, there was an increasing number of highly skilled people, talking
about Shaktipat, Avatars, strange Indian people and using words from
Sanskrit and other strange languages. This was fine. What I didn't enjoy,
was the arrogance some of these people showed. "Haven't you read Guru
DejaNews 'Confessions of a waylaid Buddha', preferrably in the original
language? Then I won't listen to your views, after all, it is the definite
book on crown-chakra eruptions and illumination by dry orgasms."

OK, perhaps not quite as bad, but close... :)

This wasn't my point in starting K-l. I wanted a forum where people could
discuss their thoughts & experiences in an open, friendly matter, and if
they found something of value that they could use in their own life - great!
But I didn't mean for some people to use the list as preachers pulpit,
neither so that one could use it to lift oneself on others backs.

I don't believe there is one way. I don't think that a Guru can save me. I
believe that I pick up pieces of knowledge and, hopefully, wisdom along the
way and use them in my life. So I thoroughly dislike it when people tell me
the "this is the road. Just follow it!"

I wrote this song back in 1995. I guess it states my point clearer than I do
now! ;)

Bible nr II
by Haakon R. Ueland

I was minding my own business
on a sunny afternoon
when a smiling man came up to me
he said "the end is coming soon."

Then he told me he was Jesus
resurrected once again
and he told me that my life was wrong
and would only lead to pain

Dont't force your views on me, man
I can't walk your narrow road
Don'f force your beliefs on me, man
I don't wanna be your toad

He pulled a book out of his bag
and then he laughed and said
"This here is Bible nr. II
you must read it before you're dead."

"It only costs two thousand bucks
a price to overcome
So go to your bank and empty your account
It'll show you where you're from."

I must admit I was confused
didn't know just what to do
So I asked him for a miracle
A tiny one or two

He wasn't pleased with my request
and said it would be best
If I believed him on his word
He was Jesus, hadn't I heard?

Don't force your faith on me, man
I can't walk your narrow road
Don't force your words on me, man
I don't wanna be your toad

I left him standing all alone
His face was filled with pain
And then the ground opened and swallowed him whole
and my eyes were filled with rain.

And in an echo I heard myself
say one final time
To this picture of a man that once was
and to whom I wouldn't give a dime

Don't force your thoughts on me, man
I can't walk your narrow road
Don't force your books on me, man
I don't wanna carry your load
