Hi Howard, Amanda, Sudipt et al. !
Lay in bed last night & couldn't sleep for awhile with a loud party going on
somewhere in the house. The recent discussion on pain, yoga-sutras etc. came
back to me, and after some contemplative mulling over, this is what my mind
still came up with:
Squabbling about experiences and the validity thereof is silly - all
experiences happen within the One Life, no point of view or path is
ultimately "truer" than the other. Division is only created in the mind, it's
not really real.
What I also suspect I feel somewhere deep down in the cavernous recesses of
my consciousness, is something like a touch of ENVY towards people, who can
claim with confidence that there is no pain in Kundalini, Kundalini is only
grace etc. Silly, unenlightened, but there we are.

Amanda, absolutely no offense taken, it's a great attitude & I love the
quote on the devil - tantric to the max...
Problem for me was, that when the mind was in a state of complete melancholia
or shaken by gut-wrenching anxiety, it seemed very hard to keep my eyes open
and enjoy the sights.
For me this particular discussion is now officially closed
Be well everybody, all the best
Michael
