The last time I checked, smoking was a far more serious risk to life and
health than Wellbutrin. ;-) A far greater problem, in my eyes. Many
overweight people are that way because they eat too much when depressed.
Obesity can be a health risk as well. If there is sufficient cause then I
feel it is justified, but only as a temporary treatment.
Permanent damage, eh? Okay, first scenario... I'm depressed, I'm going to
kill myself. Second scenario... I take anti-depressants which help me
deal with the pain, but there are some minor side effects (and this tiny
minority of people with very sensitive systems who suffer greatly... ah,
wait, isn't it that way with some painkillers?).
Spiritual growth is, to sum it up nicely, really fucking slow. Point out
as many exceptions as you want, for most people it takes years. Now if
someone is suicidal but really wants to get better, the worst thing you
can do is fail to produce results. Most suicidal people ask God to do
something, anything, at one time or another, and in most cases absolutely
nothing happens. That approach will not impress a suicidal person. You
must help them find hope, and that only happens if you ease the pain.
What happened to the Middle Way/Path? On one extreme we have people
relying too much on drugs, on the other we have people who believe all
drugs are terrible.

Reminds me of a story I heard on the news recently. A couple parents let
their daughter die from diabetes, believing that if God wanted her to live
He would intervene.
Before: I grab my glock and point it at my temple, firm in the belief
that if God wants me to live He will stop the bullet!
After: <floating next to body> Shit on me! Guess it was my time to die.
Ignorance is hell. So is awareness, if you still have attachments.

Prozac isn't a cure, it's a treatment. There is no known cure for bipolar
disorder.
I saw a psychologist for a time. Every session was the same for the first
month. I was used to shifting the conversation away from me and onto
something else. It made people stop worrying about me because I could
console them and pretend to be something else. (Leave me alone!) The
psychologist never once stopped bothering me. ;-) It's too bad I stopped
seeing her, but she did help me alter my perceptions. She recommended
anti-depressants as an aid for escaping depression, but also said that you
shouldn't rely on those alone.
The middle path!
> He's still depressed and doesn't talk to family members.
He believes you cannot understand. He is probably right, but doesn't
realize that you can comfort him. Do not talk with him about his illness
unless he wants to... just be there for him. Be affectionate, and be
sincere about it. If you're not he'll see through you. The result? He
might not feel so alone.

I was an atheist when I was 14-15 (second half, first half) and it was the
happiest time of my life. I know atheists who are quite content. The
unseen? I feel. There is my spirit, there is my driving force. I love
others. There is my faith. Not so much in people, but in the love that
people can share.
God is irrelevant.

Get a copy of 'Journeys Out of the Body' (Robert Monroe) for him. Say
something simple like "fascinating story, if nothing else." Avoid most
other books on the subject as they tend to be new age-ish. He will reject
them at a glance. If he reads it and likes it, get him the second book:
Far Journeys. The second book presents some views that are very similar
to Buddhism.
Bipolar disorder is a physical problem that, unfortunately, has a major
effect on emotional/mental states. I agree, spiritual growth may help
many people, but it will still be a small part of the whole.
Spiritually sick? Think of this for a moment... suddenly you cannot feel
love, sadness, hate, compassion, or anything else. One 'big fucking hole'
to quote NIN, or as I liked to call it, this great black abyss where my
heart should be. It's a strange ache in your chest. This feeling is so
horrible you don't know what to do... it prevents you from sleeping until
you are so thoroughly exhausted it's impossible to avoid. It slowly eats
away at everything. If it lasts long enough it can even destroy desires
for sense pleasure... you don't care enough. No hope or faith. Soon only
a few things keep you from killing yourself:
...the thought of others being hurt with your death
...the pain of dying (I had no problem with this myself as I was used to
extreme physical pain, and likewise good at hiding it)
...the revulsion at the thought of leaving behind a corpse
...you just don't care enough to kill yourself
The pain continues for days, stretches into weeks, months, and finally
years. It never ends, there is never any relief no matter how hard you
pray or beg. You can't cry because such a thing has become foreign to
you. What is grief? You know only emptiness. You think about death all
the time, about killing yourself using this method, or maybe that one.
Sleep is so wonderful... being unconscious, unaware... not being... such
bliss! If only you could manage to fall asleep tonight.
If only you could sleep forever...

I would also advise you to really examine the original message.
There was no suggestion that I could "activate and awaken kundalini thru
the chakras"... this obviously has to be undertaken by the individual!
The website in question would merely provide a place where one could
connect with a synergistic group energy to help receive a jump-start, so
to speak. Not unlike the process from an attunement, which I am sure you
are familiar with.
The reason for asking about karma was merely to deepen my
understanding of others' reality tunnels. I do not confine myself to
either the Indian Yoga reality map, or the TCM map (which I prefer
personally...) or even the Ninpo reality map (most functional of all, as
far as I know). The reiki reality is a little different as well, which I
am equally comfortable with. The point is, there's lots of ways of
looking at the same energy, and dealing with it. If I saw what many would
call "karmic purification" my personal view would refer to that as
clearing energy blockages. But this is not apologetics, just a statement
of intent.
I would also suggest, to put things into perspective, that every
reiki practitioner examine their background and motivations (often profit
is the motivation, but that's another issue we should leave to the
bickering in alt.healing.reiki). The reiki healer is messing with an
individual's energy system, and more often than not the reiki practitioner
does not know very much at all about the complexities of TCM. However,
reiki works anyway, since we get ego out of it and allow Spirit to guide
the healing. Therefore, the above website would be quite safe (for those
who want safety) but could also be "adventurous" for those who like to
experiment more... it's up to the individual. The group energy, of
course, would have the intent that it only work for the highest good. So
please reserve judgement until you see the project in action.
love,
Steve

The pain, the endless empty hole.
It is an opportunity.
It is a big neon sign directing your attention to
where it needs to be.
The pain has a purpose.
It is a doorway.
The only way out is through this door.
Not away from it.
I love you.

In Sufism the term slave is used as in:
"A slave of Allah" - meaning a Lover of the Almighty.
Christian mystics also somtimes use this terminology.
In Thelema Occultism the term "the Slaves shall Serve"
is used to denote the idea that the subservient prefer this position.
In forms of Bektashi Yoga, male devotees of Krishna dress up in sarees
and become married to their deity. This is another form of devotional
enslavement.
Angelique who made this posting is a Goddess embodiment just as I am a
Lobster. In her professional capacity she dominates people and they are
her "sexual" slaves.
If you wished to be my slave
I would do everything in my power to empower you
out of such a position; your preference is not my concern.
If you wanted me to be your slave, I guess I would just laugh . . .
Horrible ain't I.

Tsk, you missed my point. ;-)
That description of how people with severe depression feel (and how I
felt) was meant to show how meaningless such advice is when you do not
care about _anything_.
"You are cutting off my leg with a handsaw and have given me nothing for
the pain. While I know I will die if I don't lose the leg, I cannot help
but scream and beg you to stop cutting."
Pain with no apparent source... no hope, no faith, no love. No God.
Knowing that if you survive it you will be stronger... that's useless.
It brings no hope. When the pain exceeds a person's capacity to handle
it, suicide becomes a valid option for him.
In other words, stop thinking the way you are. Think like a person who
feels only pain for years at a time, think like someone who longs for
death. Someone who doesn't believe or even care if there is a God. Who
thinks Hell is not something you live in, but is something that is lived,
and is cold and dark, something empty. Someone who has long since lost
any fear of death and is only waiting for the right moment to 'sleep
forever'.
Many bipolar individuals feel that their whole lives. It's not a doorway,
it's emotional pain they do NOT deserve... it's not karma (the effects of
attachments) it's just suffering.
How would you treat it? How would you help them hope? How would you
counter years of pain?
Do that, and then what you said might have meaning for some of them.
Until then it's just as meaningless as a fundamentalist telling you to
puh-ray to the lawd jee-sus.

Christian,
Sounds like you are awakening the serpent. You will get a lot of good
information on the list. Probably the best advise I can give you is to
reflect on your relationship with your creator however you see it.
Kundalini isn't about feeling it is about transformation and changing
the basic chemistry of the body. Everything that you know about yourself
is wiped out to be replaced with an entire different interior system
that is made for spiritual living, and participating as a soul/spirit
rather then a mind/body. God is at the center of this, and then one must
ask, what is the I in me? What is the will in me? And what in me is to
be transformed? What is God's Will in the universe and in this creation
in human form? God Bless ... Gloria

In love is a harmony.
In light is a harmony.
Here is a harmony.
Between you and me.
In music is a term when instruments answer each other. (brain stall. CRS.)
Though they do not speak words, it is a beautiful harmony.
We talk back and forth here, and answer questions, and guide each other.
But what is more is we create a harmony. I can see our lights dancing back
and forth.
It is not important for us to agree. To not agree leads to new harmonies.
I can feel you all holding me right now, and supporting me.
And I hold you right back. Loving and waiting for the next move.
It is a blessing for me to be here.
Lift me up, lift me up.
I could sing with all my heart.
And live here in your harmony.
Peace, Love, Light, Harmony, and blessings.
Ps. It is dark in my room at night, but some times I close my eyes and
that goes away.
Love to all.

I watched the discussion on drugs and depression just can add one thing
that as mystics we must look at directly. There is an important stage in
the awakening process that is called the 'dark night of the soul.' It is
as though you have fallen into a dark hole without any awareness of when
or how it manifest. It can last for quite some time or very quickly
pass, but it is very real... since it is an important place of
awareness. Kind of like recognizing what you are in yourself without the
creator, and it can be quite a jolt when you have believed in self for
so long. This I do believe will account for some of this stuff some of
you are experiencing, and once the drugs get in and it is named by the
world then you are sent off in a wild goose chase.
Those of you in this that I can help contact me directly some times it
is just empowering one to go inside the truth and let it run off. It may
be best to do it off line so that you can keep your privacy if not I
don't care about sharing on it. Gloria

What I have read in maeror's explanation of the depths of depression is all too familiar to me. So I am inspired to write about a place I was once, how I left it and how I am returning to it.
I've been to the depths of dispair, to that dark place where nothing in life matters. I have had glass pressed to wrist, ready for a sign, an impulse to deal the final blow.
But I pulled myself out by my own bootstraps. No drugs. No psychotherapy. Just will. My will to destroy myself led me to the bottom where I quite literally discovered the road to the top.
At the bottom, my dilemma became quite existential as a became aware of my position. Nothing mattered. It didn't matter what I did, it would be quickly forgotten in the vast expanse time. How utterly hopeless.
BUT
I had a slow realisation that if nothing mattered, if I could not make one iota of a difference in the universe then I could do what ever I wanted and it would not matter. I could turn the coin over and be perfectly happy in isolation, in misery, in dispair and that would not matter either. I could gleefully destroy my possessions and that would not matter. I could be very very happy that nothing at all mattered. This was quite liberating at the time believe or not.
Over time, I found other things I could be happy about that would not matter in the least. And these things became more and more what is considered "normal" and "healthy." Things like learning, music, travel, and, yes down the road, even Love. Indeed, I became effusively happy!
The failing of a powerful imagination is believing you are happy, believing your kundalini has awakened, believing you are enlightened and that you have left all the bad stuff behind. I see it again and again. I believe that I am fully in the present, imbued with peace, power and love, when without warning something ugly roars out of the past and I go into an ego tailspin.
But now, instead of covering that back up and smiling and being Spriritually Correct again, I take my time and examine it, to know it and love it. I have all the time in the universe.
And these days I have realised that there is that dark place still inside me. I have realised that our effusively happy culture, our culture that insists on happiness, is only part of the total picture. I have realised that in my attempts to exorcise that darkness I overlooked the possibility that I might love that darkness, it being part of me. It being part of all.
I discovered firsthand the nature of duality. Extreme right looks like extreme left. Extreme darkness looks like extreme lightness. Love and fear. The enlightened and the fool. When you arrive at one extreme, you are only a small step from the opposite.
And so again, I travel to those depths, but this time in full awareness, with power and love, with full self-responsibility, and with tools such as yoga, to gain the totality of myself. This, I believe, is healthy.
I would encourage depressed people to fully experience their condition regardless of whether our culture is effusively happy, tells us to take Prozac, or recommends we seek "professional" help. The answers are within us all, even the severely distraught. But to find the answers within, it would help if they were given the space in the cultural context to see themselves not as monsters, but as human manifestations of all.
Daring Love.

A GLOBAL KUNDALINI MANIFESTO FOR THE WEST
by Yogi Tom/Silver Dawn Media
First, the heavy stuff: the big picture and the inescapable sense of
crisis.
(But don't worry, there is good news coming....and her name is kundalini
- it's actually very simple once you're over this first bit.)
We live in interesting times, for we are witnessing largely irreversible
environmental destruction on an unprecedented scale - ozone depletion,
greenhouse gases, deforestation, soil erosion, climate change, species
loss, whole ecosystems and food chains are unravelling.
In the long term, one must add to this the threat to so many from the
amassed weaponry, be it atomic, biological, conventional or chemical, as
perfected by some of our greatest scientific minds and marketed by some
of our smartest salesmen, generals and governments.
Meanwhile, one billion or more people on the planet endure poverty,
exploitation, malnutrition or readily preventable disease.
The ageold debate over whether limited resources can meet the needs
of a growing population may be beginning to be resolved as the
population growth in the developing world promises to outstrip food
supplies in a generation or two.
And even if food needs are met, then fossil fuels are likely to be
exhausted soonafter so undermining one of the pillars of industrial
economies and transport systems.
Meanwhile, the rising consumer expectations and purchasing power of
the emergent Indian and Chinese middle classes suggests that even if the
West moderates its consumption and lifestyle, Asia will take up where
the West left off.
Yet our age enjoys access to unprecedented material riches,
advanced medical, scientific and communications technology, all the
wisdom of the great spiritual traditions and the gentle and wise
cultures of the indigenous peoples who are so much under threat.
Then there is the promise of health provided by the technical
precision of Western allopathic medicine, the deep gentle healing of the
Indian ayurvedic system, the subtlety of Chinese medicine, the depth of
holistic therapy.
And, intellectually, science and mysticism are coming together
through the profound insights into the non-dual nature of the universe
revealed by modern science in the form of Unified Field Theory, Quantum
Mechanics and the Theory of Relativity.
The forces of light and darkness are locked in a mortal struggle and
the choice is ours whether we turn to the light and to life, or to the
darkness and risk irreversible damage to life on this planet; damage
that is already too far gone for so many living in poverty, suffering
avoidable disease or malnourishment.
It is not just ecologies and plant and animal species that are being
destroyed, exploited or monopolised for profit at the expense of local
communities, but indigenous cultures that have taken centuries to
develop - and ecosystems that have taken thousands of years to develop -
only to be undermined in a few decades by the impact of the West.
We have reached an evolutionary bottleneck whereby the only way out
is through entering a greater reality, that of collective action and
mutual understanding and respect.
Through satellite technology, telecommunications, datacommunications,
televison, newspapers, magazines, books and radio our consciousness is
becoming global.
And yet, even with all this knowledge and information, little seems
to be being done to tackle the roots of the crisis. For these lie in the
human mind and human heart. We have much information, some knowledge,
but little wisdom.
The true power to remake the world arises from transformation of
consciousness.
And this transformation ultimately begins with the transformation of the
individual who, without deeper understanding of the forces at work, can
become confused and troubled.
Paradoxically, it is through individual transformation that we are able
to embrace the whole more fully.
Our age has the ideas of many profound psychological traditions -
transpersonal, psychosynthesis, Jungian, Freudian, among others - to
help it understand and heal the psyche that has spawned so many monsters
and so much destruction even where intentions are apparently pure.
Now another part of the jigsaw of human evolution is beginning to
emerge - that of kundalini, the serpent power or Mother Power so well-
known to the yogis, mystics and sages of times past, and to some extent,
the present too.
The liberation of spiritual energy and the psychophysical transformation
of the human brain and nervous system that can follow kundalini
awakening gradually purifies the aspirant of all trace of conditioned
consciousness, the very consciousness that lies at the root of so much
misery and destruction on this planet.
It can liberate the vast reserves of human creativity and ingenuity,
love, wisdom, energy and intelligence needed for the first steps to be
taken towards a genuinely global - but diverse - spiritual tradition . A
spiritual experience that gradually permeates more and more of human
existence.
It is the spiritual power supply humanity needs to nurture compassion
and transcendental wisdom, the wise heart, the wholeness of the healthy
and integrated psyche, in a form that can not merely call a stop to the
current madness that passes as business as usual, but transform the
underlying energies that drive it and so create the conditions for the
transformation of the material realms of existence.
so here's the rub -
Understanding of Oneness arises in the Heart.
Kundalini finds peace only in the Heart,
even if she works on the Head and Body too.
And it is from the Heart that Understanding arises.
Understanding rooted in the heart has infinite names and forms.
In this way, Kundalini leads us to the Infinite.
Through Wholeness,
One unites with the Infinite.
Many cultures have known this for a long time,
but in the West, too many are finding this out the hard way.
Kundalini is about remembering who we really are
At the deepest levels of Being.
hope this helps jog the memory !
