This a very long post I recieved off the Atlantis BBs, a few days ago.

Let me give you a for instance.  I was sick (chronic fatigue syndrome, 
had two small children, no lisence (epilepsy), no car, no money (my 
husband hadn't worked in years out of choice (he liked my salary, he was 
getting more and more abusive all the time).  

One day, I said, this is wrong; I'm losing faith in Life this way.  With 
nothing but his fury at my back, I decided to leave with the kids.(Note: 
 not because it hurt to be with him, not because I might be better of 
financially in the long run, not because of the lesser reasons I had for 
leaving - those were mine to deal with - but becasue of myloss of hope, 
fiath...)   A house turned up across from my work within a day.  My 
brother asked  if he could come up for a visit - he happened to have a 
truck and between the two of us, we moved me that weekend.  

Whenever I have needed money for a higher purpose, I've decided to go for 
it.  (eg. my mom is disabled, so, without 'proper' financing, I have just 
bought a house so we could create wheelchair access)  I take care of her 
and my semi-disabaled dad (who was incredibly abusive to me in my youth 
but has since made his peace with me and the  universe).  Whenever funds 
are getting low, a cheque of one sort or another comes in.  It has never 
failed me if my intent was pure.  

Since that time, I have never nickel 'n dimed Life.  I go for the 
decision that best fulfills the first rule I have - increase the Life 
Force where ever it challenges you (and this comes in infinite forms).  
Ironically, the abusive husband 'came back to life' when I left him and 
had his own k experience as a result and went partially insane for a 
while, but over the long haul, has become a much better human being for 
it!  Irony.

There's a story of a man hanging on to a branch on the side of the cliff 
with hundreds of feet of dead air below him leading to a rocky shore 
below (certain death).  God says to him, "Let go, I'll catch you".  The 
man replies, "Thanks, your offer is nice, but I think I'll hang on to 
this branch."  Soon after, the branch begins to tear away from the cliff 
side and the man begins to cry, "  I've changed my mmmmiiiinnnnd....."
I let go.  

Don't let the word, God, bother you there if you are not religious.  
Substitute the name of the power you call highest from out of your 
EXPERIENCE  of what is Holy.  

Good luck.

Date: Fri, 11 Oct 1996 
From: David Mitchell 
Subject: Initial Post

I have been subscribing to this mailing list for about a month and have been
reading and learning. I feel the time has come to finally step out of the
woodwork and introduce myself. Perhaps answering Richard's initial questions
would be the best way to do that. So here goes.

1. Name
My name is David Mitchell.

2. Age
I'm 42 years old.

3. When did you first become aware of kundalini in your life?
That's a little difficult to answer. I learned the term in my early 20's
but, to the best of knowledge didn't experience it. Just in the last 3
months did I begin to pay attention to what was happening to me. It all
began when I had an "intuitive portrait" done.

4. How long ago was this?
See above.

5. What are some of the things you have noticed?
During the last three months there has been an increased tingling in my
hands. I have had to work much harder at keeping myself grounded.
Synchronicity has pushed its way into my consciousness with increasing
frequency. Squirrels no longer run from me. I have begun to hear the trees
talking to me. Dreaming has changed. My health has improved. There have been
many other small changes.

6. What has changed/is changing in your life?
The largest change is that 3 weeks ago, my wife asked me for a divorce. She
said that while she still loved me, she could no longer live with me. That
has played havoc with my emotions of course. I find myself unconsciously
sitting straighter. My tongue automatically stays on the roof of my mouth
when not using it for things like talking, singing, eating, etc. My taste in
music has changed...moving more toward things that recharge my energy. My
sleep patterns have changed. I have begun "remembering" and knowing things
without knowing how I know them. I was told that I have healing hands. I, as
an experiment, tried to stop the pain in my 12 year old son's back one
night. Without knowing what I was doing, I ran my hand up his back about an
inch away from his skin. After about 20 seconds he asked me what I was doing
and that he felt a tingling in his back. I told him that I didn't know
exactly what I was doing, but that it was what felt right to do. After
running my hand up his back and back down it, still without touching him, I
stopped. He sat up with an amazed look on his face and told me that his back
no longer hurt. There have been further instances like that.

7. Do you have any particular practices that you have found helpful?
When I am having trouble feeling grounded and am getting increasingly
"spacey", I try to imagine a long red root extending from my peri-anal
region deep into the earth. This usually brings me back to ground.

8. Are you involved in any service to others?
Yes, but not much yet in matters that would affect this list.
-
9. What are you hoping to get out of this list?
I'm not sure exactly what is happening to me. It doesn't scare me, because
it feels right. I'm hoping to gain insights that will help me along the way.


I have already learned a lot just by reading the messages on this list.
There have been several posters that have said things that really struck
responsive chords with me...Barb, traveller, Richard, Dan G., Dan R-F, and
Melody all come to mind immediately. Thank you *ALL* for your sharing of
experiences.  Hopefully as this journey continues, I will be able to do the
same.

In peace,
 ----- ----- ----- -----
Give me ambiguity...or give me something else

Dan,
 
You subconsious contains the universe of knowledge that is out there, and
part of the journey is being able to tap into it. This is what I call a
"merging of the concious and subconcious" which is the ultimate goal of
becomming totally integrated as a human being.
 
Respectfully

From: "PHUOC NGUYEN" 
Subject: Kundalini (Vienamese way)3

How to choose by yourself a subject for meditate that match with your 
behavior?
A.   Looking at your behaviors:
1. 	If you are  hot, nervous, with fast react, high blood pressure: Choose a 
image of a falling drop of water (but this drop does not in a falling motion) 
as a subject 
2. 	If you are calm, slow in react, low blood pressure: A flame (your 
little finger nail' s size) will be the best.

B.   By closing your eye just one or two minutes and relax in a dark room:
1. 	If you see in front of you some kind of blue color: Your subject is a 
flame. 
2. 	If this color is orange or nearly red: Your subject is a drop of water. 
3. 	If you see a mixing color: Repent (because in your near incarnation, you 
are some kind of witch)
4. 	If you see like a fog (gray): Repent (because of your bad actions toward 
your friends)
5. 	If you see nothing (black): Repent (because you have a "Don't care-less 
mind")

We recommend A. or B. because it match with your personality behaviors

How to meditate (with a Flame)

Use your breath to relax and clear your mind of your daily job (see part 2)

Light up a flame in a dark room straight in front of you and look at this 
subject by your open eye for one or two seconds. 

Then close your eye, you will see in front of you an image of this flame. This 
image indicates for you exactly where the vision will appear when you 
meditate.
Well, this image will not longer stay in this spot: It will disappear. Now, 
you begin your meditation by focusing all your mind in that spot trying to 
redraw it with your mind and by calling (in your mind with your normal inner 
calm voice): fire ... fire ... fire ... (spacing one second at a time).

After several time of practice:

Suddenly, a flame appears in this spot (this is right now the vision of your 
subject). Look at this vision very calm and repeat in your mind: fire 1 ... 
fire 2 ... fire 3 (spacing one second at a time) to keep in touch how long you 
can keep this vision. Comparing the time your subject appears in your vision, 
you will know your progress in your practice.
(coming up: you will know what is really your bad behavior by the "morph" of 
your subject)
