If you pretty much live a balanced life in focus with divine will, your body will tell you what is appropriate and what isn't. And, without even trying the habits will change because the focus is different. So much falls away because of the pure frequency of the energy you live through, and the neat thing, it just happens. It's like, it is natural for me to not speak in profane langugage, it just doesn't happen, what is more interesting, when people are around me and they same something, they always apologize. And, for the most part it just goes in one ear and out the other side without even in real notice on my part, but I have had people come up to me and really apologize. Gloria 2 Date: Fri, 1 Nov 1996 From: stampmanATNOSPAMix.netcom.com (Daniel Rusch-Fischer ) Subject: Hallowe'en Hi all ya (k)ites, Last night we passed out the goodies as usual and as usual there were a passel of mini-candy-bars left over. OK, OK I admit it - I was into them even before Hallowe'en started. But, it brings up a very important point as far as k-awakening and diet goes. I have been craving sugar like crazy since this thing began. Also, I have been fighting it like a madman as my weight has always been a problem - I mentioned that I have managed to take off 130# and keep it off over the past two years. Anyone wanting practical, scientific, AND non-judgmental information about all forms of spiritual emergence (including k-a, I was surprised to find that UFO experiences are catalogued right along with us) is heartily recommended (not only by myself, but MANY others) to read the works of Stanislav Grof M.D. and Christina Grof (the founders of the Spiritual Emergency Network). In their book "The Stormy Search For The Self" 1990 Putnam Books, N.Y. the subject of diet is covered in depth (I read with delight the account of a vegetarian attracted by the mystical glow of the Golden Arches and his overwhelming desire for BigMacs). I had assumed that my desire for sugar was simply a manifestation of my on-going diet - the odd thing is that previously my urges for verboten snacks had always been of the salty-crunchy-deep-fried variety. I had always eschewed candy or sweets, even at my heaviest. Now I find, in reading Grof, that craving for sugar is a common phenomenon among the spiritually-emergent and appears to be a self-defense mechanism to provide the hyperdriven mind with the glucose it needs to process the k-a overload. How's that for putting a practical, scientific point on the spiritual? - 3 Date: Fri, 1 Nov 1996 From: Juliet Subject: Meetings with Remarkable Meatheads (was Re: conference) SYL228ATNOSPAMaol.com wrote: > > So in two days I have read a slew of both mail that attacks others > points of > view , and mail that wants us all to meet face to face. - I have been working around the computer lately, and therefore have been amusing myself by keeping track of the list and posting and I must say, I actually don't know what you mean when you say "attacking." I've noticed a certain spititedness--but isn't a certain level of spirit in discussion necessary? Interesting? Playful? I really don't get this. Wouldn't it be kind of a snore if whenever somebody posted, everybody else just shrugged and nodded and agreed namby-pambily? How would one ever clearly hone ideas? It seems so obvious! - Isn't it to a great extent about honing intellect and wit and ability to articulate this difficult material? To develop a language? This is a part of the challenge, part of the point... isn't it? After all, this is a *written* medium... I'm resisting the temptation to put it in "new-age" terms and talk about the need to develop other chakras... but in terms of getting kundalini "out of the closet" this is really part of what needs to be done, IMHO. Intellectual development. It's a kind of grounding in a funny way, and a way of bringing it into the world using a language that is palatable. An advancement. We've had a good fifteen (twenty?) years of the beginnings of new-age--isn't it time to take it to the next level already? Jeepers! And, frankly, this is actually what a "conference" would do... To polish a stone you've got to tumble it around for a while in a jar with other stones... > Seems to me ( and I admit I am playing Devil's advocate a bit)----if > we > can't handle the energy on this list via E-mail very well, how on > > earth will > we be able to do this face to face? Hmmmm, I think the question might actually be: "if you can't handle the energy on this list very well, how on earth can you handle... Kundalini?" Just a thought... Juliet 4 Date: Fri, 01 Nov 1996 From: Chuck Tedesco Subject: Re: Hallowe'en Daniel, Thanks for the Grof idea on sugar as fuel for the hyperdriven mind. I am still trying to figure out what is going on with me--whether k-a is happening. In the last 5 weeks or so I have been doing a major overload of sugar and starches. I am almost sure that it has something to do with the energy stirred up by the Rolfing series (have finished the ninth). Have experienced numbness at the top of the head and a stirring/electricity behind the eyes. Electrical buzzing, too, in the heart area and genitals. Meditation more unsettled, "committee won't shut up". Would appreciate feedback as to whether this could be part of a k-a. Also, as to Grof, have participated---before starting Rolf series--in Grof's holotropic breathing. My experience was that of major, nameless relief, then on the following day a craving for starches and sugars. Don't have a sense as to whether that's about fuel for processing or wall-building or maintenance! -- Chuck Tedesco Smoking Release Associates HTTP://WWW.SRA1.COM Smoking Cessation Coach Service via phone/e-mail/products shipped For free "Stress Management Tips for Smokers" send blank e-mail to: TIPSATNOSPAMSRA1.COM Unique, proven programs for individuals and groups. - 5 Date: Mon, 27 Aug 1956 From: lodpressATNOSPAMinetworld.com (Larry Newman) Subject: Re: Re diet SYL228ATNOSPAMaol.com wrote: > > Many of the things that have been touted on the list I am allergic to.

Angelique, Yeah, that is really right on what you say about flax seed oil, I read about it around two years ago, and I drink a Tspoon of it every few days, sometimes more often. Leukemia patients given it lived two years beyond projections as their red blood cells got healthier or something. It is better for you than lecithin, fish oil, avocado, you name it. You shouldn't overdo any oil...but flax seed seems to have helped me alot. There are many other infos I've read about it; it's related to pumpkin seeds. I think it helps me meditate. If it tastes good, that usually means my body wants it, and I like the taste, I keep it in the refridgerator and take it cold. not as good as Pepsi... later, Paco - 8 Date: Sun, 03 Nov 1996 From: Paco Subject: re: re: everybody read this This is what Greg Kernaghan wrote to me: >Dear Paco, >how do I get off the list...

His network is probably connected to some primitive email reflector which sends all his incoming email (twice) to everybody in his office. The business grinds to a halt as everybody watches the many messages from this list clog up in their AT's and 286's, as they frantically push buttons etc. They turn off their computers only to realize it just continues "Now receiving message 3 of 274". Haa haa haa Of course Greg most likely signed up for several lists all at once, so the problem is compounded. I suppose if he found out how to escape this list, he could figure out the rest.......... As dogbert says "Get the book that came with your computer... it's a story about a Spanish guy named Manual. Now, crush your computer into tiny bits and bake 2 hrs while you read the book.

The winking Jesus page hee hee hee - 9 Date: Sat, 2 Nov 1996 From: Mistress Angelique Serpent Subject: Big and little Faerie folk. This morning freya and I were sitting on the couch after breakfast, trying to get the energy to do more packing. The conversation wandered around to the Faeries who are coming visionquesting with me. As we talked about them, I idly watched invisible energy forms gathering around us. I felt a coolness around my legs. freya started taking to them, telling them they had to all be 6' tall today, and strong like a bull and smart like a woman, so they could help pack. Out of my mouth came this amazing clear tinkling bell like laugh, that had none of the snideness of a giggle, but all of the delight. It seemed to hang in the air for about five minutes after the sound, as we commented that the laugh did not sound quite like me. I noticed that invisible forms were climbing up and cuddling freya, and felt tiny soft touches on myself. I felt a being standing on my shoulder. It felt slender, about 11" tall. As I regarded the air where I felt it to be, and said hello, suddenly an awareness of it's appearance popped into my head. I laughed in surprise-because it looked exactly what my conception of an elf should look like. From the pointed ears to the robin hood green peter pan siut. Of course, when artists imagine what faerie look like, they are actually drawing from unconscous sight. I turned my attention to the big one, that stands behind me, saying hello, as we speculated on his nature. Suddenly an image of him popped into my head ( and freya's.) I startled me in it's clarity. His skin looks like the thing from the fantastic four, but dark grey. He is also taller and more slender, but powerfully built. His features are blunt, like worn stone. He is beautiful, and I told him so. He said humans did not usually think so, and we had a brief converstion about the atractiveness to him of females of his kind over humans. We could not quite catch his name. it sounded gaelic to freya and native indian to me. The languages sound similar, or perhaps it is some earth language that is the root of both. This area that has been my home for these past five + years is called Khat-sah-lan-oo in Haida, and was sacred ground before suburbia turned it into trendy Kitsilano. I discovered he was dreadful homesick for the sound of native chants and drumming. I thought I had a tape of native tribal music, but I could not find it for him, so I played the Pipes and Drums of Scotland, instead. Not quite the same. S o now I have made a promise, somewhere on this visionquest, there will be native music, to please my new companion. It's a really good idea to keep promises made to Faerie! Everybody knows that. I'n not crazy about native music myself, but I have no doubt keeping my promise will lead me to some interesting experiences. freya's pentacle pendant, which disappeared from the couch 5 days ago, turned up under the waterbed sheets today. I think the Faerie appreciate her sense of humor. The pentacle is filled with this incredible energy, now. - Life continues to be Amusing. That is my personal motto. It's a good one. Blessings, Angelique. 10 Date: Sat, 2 Nov 1996 From: fluteATNOSPAMprodigy.com (CAROLYN MALONEY) Subject: Re: K experience - giggling.. yes Julie, "person with Gloria here". I was noticing the same thing. We are all part of the whole..and we should focus on the unity rather than the differences. Exploring the different ways and different words used for the same experience should be more of a focus, accepting them all as part of the complete truth. There is a lifetime of information to learn. I speak with a friend from India sometimes.. and he doesn't know what the word Kundalini means. Ed says its an Americanized word. He totally understands the experience and is very in tune with the harmonies of the universe however our version is a tad bit difficult for him to understand. Another word used by "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Yogananda is "Kryiban". So can anyone tell me about it?. I believe Sri Yuteswar was a teacher. (and a guide that has appeared to me a couple of times) I took a class in Kundalini yoga and found myself in an exercize program that mentioned spirituality but didn't really focus on it. The class was very much like the Tai Chi class I took.. Oh.. Chinese use a healing called Qi Gong or Chi Khung that is very very smiiliar to Kundalini. They call the energy CHI. I have been Kundalini/Chi awakened for several years now.. My first year I was a total space cadet and was in and out of body constantly.. grin.. ALL RIGHT.. fun!!.. Love the floaty experience.. It was a totally new thing for me.. I have never used drugs including alchole or tobacco. (can't even spell the stuff - giggling). I still have to remember to ground myself. I realized that if I was to be in this level.. meaning.. "earthbound" by the body.. that I was going to have to learn to control this feeling and figure out what use it was. Being such a obvious powerful thing, It has to be good for something, - right?? I understand from the Mystic that helped me achieve my first experience that I was ready (mature spiritually enough) to handle the full awakening. I also understand from others that it can be a very difficult experience if it happens abruptly to someone that isn't ready. I have been told that I am very powerful.. However I don't really have an understanding of what that means literally. I can bring up the kundalini in an individual that is ready but I think this is something most people can do if they really have the experience. There are no real words to explain. "and where two or three are gathered together".. I do a meditation On- Line and Off Line that helps others to channel this energy toward healing. The circles have also initiated/awakened the Kundalini in many that have attended. The healing has been amazing for everyone.. "What you give out returns 7 fold" Since my awakening.. I have been more Empathic than ever and More in touch with ESP/Telepathy/Psychic ability. I fall over coincendences every day and delight in every one. I have guides and messengers teaching me in my dreams, even in my waking state. I began writing Poetry which I know all came from spirit.. cause I couldn't quote it if I had to. My entire life has changed and I love it..
