Dear Susan:
I have similar experiences to you.. I tried vege for 15 years... but now I
am back to meat once in a while.. I feel better.

Yes...
But here is how I see it. Our ancestors got us here over thousands of
years of eating meat.. and we want to reverse this in a few years.. NO
WAY. A Japanese doctor told me that North Europeans need meat for B12 and
cannot subsist on the vegie diet for long...so far all myfriends who were
veggies, have gone back to meat and fish..including me. He said Asians
were suited to it as their bodies produce B12.
Also if you check out that book on Diet and blook type..
Type O - diet it mostly what you describe Susan.
Yes it would be nice not to kill animals.. but we are NOT Asians and most
of the rules about this were created for Asians.. not Europeans or
descendents of them.

Yes... me too.. it says FOLLOW your TRUTH... Ruth

Er, thank you for your provocative questions Lobster.
<Why am I here?> Okaaay, start with the easy ones. It seems that I'm drawn because I have something to learn. Yes. But to get my teeth into the question I'd have to weave a little story through the following list: Setting experiences I've had more in context; reaffirming my k-experiences; linking new thoughts with thoughts I've had before; getting references; curiosity; exercising my mind; enjoying most of the posts.
The main reason must be that it would be weird if I wasn't interested in a forum about k-associated matters because I've never really been able to talk to anyone about it before. I've always been resistant to the idea of joining the spiritual/religious groups I've come across, they've claimed to be the only way. No method, no guru, no teacher has been my unplanned way. So, it's great to be able to listen in here. I'm not subscribed to any other lists because there's a lot of mail here and it's worth sticking with. I've saved quite a lot of articles containing great new insights, best expressions of feelings I've had or can relate to, interesting related posts including yours on Khalil Gibran.
<What do I want?> More of the same will be just fine, thank you.
<What can I offer?> Tricky one. Erm, well I don't need to tell anyone here about the innate value of all people, even me. I'm particularly keen on diversity: richness is in the differences. I'm a bit different, you know. I've got some experiences to bring to bear. I'll contribute to the list with responses to conversation threads when they grab me. I don't think I'll be teaching anything to anyone here - I don't even understand most of the terminology used.
<My mind is all over the place (that's OK)> Yes. Thank you. It's been under a few places too. There are lots of hooks. Sometimes I have to behave myself though. Especially if there's a reason to.
<Do you meditate?> I've picked up some basics and spent time on it. My technique was 1. Still your mind; 2. Go with intuition; 3. See what happens next. This was highly effective and brought life-changing experiences. But now, no. Or less intensely at any rate. Because doing can be meditating. Approaches / values are incorporated in to the way you operate. The truth is I had such intense experiences over a period of a couple of years that I felt it best to hold off for a bit to normalise. It felt right to. I remember hearing from somewhere that it was unwise to get into K before 40, when you are reasonably stable in outlook. What do you think? I was certainly finding it a lot to come to terms with at 20.
<OK - where do you want to go?> For me, it's something of a balancing act. A whittling away. From innocence to experience to innocence again. When I'd been in for too long I had to go out. Later, a different me felt like going in again. Seriously though, I've never been a target-orientated individual in the sense of having a long-term gameplan for myself. I tend to just get absorbed in what I'm doing and see where that takes me.
<Imagine Kundalini is a mistaken Ms Snake that has been ripped out of
you. Now what are you?> Okay, I tried that for a few seconds, but it's just not happening for me, Lobster. But I'm fascinated: what do you mean, <mistaken Ms Snake> and what's the thrust of the whole thing? Go on, let me in on it: now what am I?
This is not the end: it is not even the beginning of the end. It is perhaps the end of the beginning.

Interesting. I had a strange one once. Was walking along the road (awake), imagined I could feel my energy field/aura around me, felt it, contracted all slowly into a shiny tight ball in my middle (solar plex?) and then suddenly, like some bolt had loosened, could hear several voices talking inside me. 5 I think. All me-ish. I'd have a shrill shallow thought. A deeper voice below would respond or comment on the thought. I'm listening, trying to take it on board, another deeper voice comments on comment 2, and so on. Level 5 was like wow. All seemingly distinct personalities / world views. Huge reserves of inner knowledge to draw on. I walked in, sat on the sofa, listening to my mother, voices still talking. It became hard to concentrate on both and I was getting tired so I said it was over now. The voices sang, all together, FOR HE'S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW a few times, making me feel pretty brilliant, and then ended. Seriously: they did. It made me think about how perfect we all are somewhere beyond the blockages. Reinforced my hunch that I was using external experiences to unpeel me like an onion.

We are all here for a variety of reasons and manage to accomodate a

You need to read more. I will not recommend, the process of finding is

Believe me my friend, telling people what they were really like is no
fun. Best they find themselves.
OK let us look at it a different way. You have come here out of
curiosity. So I have made you curious. Part of you is here for more
mature reasons, to engage in a process of growth and change, however it
is not possible to say that too directly as parts of you may be scared
by this possibility. So saying you may be scared will make you more
likely to engage in the process - in order to prove you are no coward.
Just as I am manipulating your mind, so is your mind manipulating the
Real You.
What aspects of yourself are Real and need to grow?

Dear list members,
Here is an overview article on kundalini and evolution starting with
Darwin and Gopi Krishna, ending with modern science and parapsychology.
Hope you enjoy it - feel free to pass it on,
Best wishes,
Yogi Tom
======================
Kundalini, Evolution and Scientific Proof
While science has argued that human evolution has been driven by
competition, selection and the need to propagate ones genes, the
kundalini experience suggests there is a hidden psychospiritual
mechanism within each individual which transforms the evolutionary
experience from one rooted solely in the physical body and the ego to
one in which the integration and purification of the psyche becomes the
central goal.
This transcendental view of psychospiritual evolution points to the
function of the subtle body comprising the chakras and nadis of yoga as
the key to understanding this process.
The individual consciousness is transformed through the action of
kundalini on the chakras and subtle energy. Traditionally, this is
symbolised by the spiral path of the mystics or individual odyssey of
mythology or spiritual pilgrimage of religion.
This process also brings a transformation in the central nervous system
and brain as the endocrine system is activated at a subtle level, the
sexual fluids can become sublimated, and the whole psychophysical
organism purified and refined.
The dietary needs of this evolving psychophysical organism can become
unusually sensitive and pure as the body and brain are transformed.
While the West has no explicit cultural or scientific map for the
kundalini process, the yogic traditions of the East, particularly Hindu
Tantric Yoga and some aspects of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism and Taoism,
offer a profound framework of understanding within which the unfolding
of the kundalini experience can be viewed.
As kundalini works on the mind, body and spirit, the individual
consciousness is gradually immersed in a greater reality than that of
the conditioned consciousness be it termed the primordial state of
emptiness of Buddhism, the Atman of Hinduism or the Tao of Taoism.
In the Western psychological tradition, Jung acknowledged the validity
of this process in human development and growth of the psyche. He
pointed to the role of symbolic forms such as mandalas as expressions of
the need for the emerging kundalini to find harmony and balance to
realise her purpose within the individual.
Unable to find expression in the waking consciousness, kundalini, here
seen as the forces of the subconscious, emerges in dreams which must be
acknowledged and followed if one is to successfully integrate these
forces.
Jung gave the name "individuation" to this process of integration of the
psyche, which works through acknowledging both energies emergent from
the subconscious which are so easily repressed in Western culture and
the complex aspects of an individual personality that need to be
balanced through identifying and working with archetypes.
Jung believed that when the emergent energies of the subconscious, such
as kundalini, were blocked all kinds of psychosis and mental imbalance
resulted. He expanded this view from the individual consciousness to the
collective, whereby a whole culture or society would become united in
acts of madness such as war or genocide.
Ken Wilber has embraced the unfolding of the kundalini experience within
Transpersonal Psychology, which brings together the Western tradition of
psychological development which has focussed on the development of the
individual ego with the Oriental traditions that have looked to worlds
beyond the ego.
But within Transpersonal Psychology, even though it points to the goals
of unity, wholeness and integration as the highest state of human
consciousness, no special claims for the primacy of kundalini as an
evolutionary driving force are made.
In fact, modern psychologists such as Stanislav and Christina Grof, and
the late psychiatrist Lee Sannella, have focussed more on kundalini for
its tendency to bring spiritual and psychological crisis within the
individual.
While kundalini can be compared to the Holy Spirit within Christian
mysticism, the New Testament offers no explicit model of psychophysical
transformation in the manner of the yogic traditions. Thus, while for
someone actually experiencing the Holy Spirit, the correlation with
kundalini may make perfect sense and be extremely useful, to someone
without a Christian outlook there are few conceptual reference points to
understand their experiences and the process of transformation it
brings.
Thus, particularly in the climate of secular and scientific Western
culture, it may help to distinguish between public and personal models
of kundalini awakening.
This is not to say there is anything wrong with theistic belief systems,
nor that they fail to explain the kundalini experience, but rather that
for a wider public living outside that particular world view or belief
system it may not provide a language or conceptual framework with which
they can easily sympathise either emotionally or intellectually.
Personal models of kundalini awakening often centre on theistic belief
systems, and, as said above, there is clearly nothing wrong with this,
for Christianity, Sufism and Kabbala, for instance, all offer profound
frameworks within which to view kundalini.
But in terms of gaining a wider public understanding of kundalini,
particularly if one hopes to win a wider audience for its relevance to
our evolutionary outlook, it may help to look, initially, to psychology
and then to the more esoteric forms of Yoga such as Hindu and Buddhist
Tantra which provide explicit symbolic forms, for instance, which can be
understood intellectually by a disinterested observer, even if they
remain unempowered by them in spiritual terms.
Ultimately, it may one day be possible to look to science to provide a
model for the kundalini process of awakening and transformation of
consciousness.
This would need extremely subtle measuring devices that could monitor
the subtle body of the individual as well as detect subtle refinement
and healing of the psychophysical mechanism in general.
Whether or not conclusive evidence will ever be gained remains
impossible to say, but pioneers such as Dr Hiroshi Motoyama in Japan,
who has developed a machine, known as the AMI machine, able to diagnose
the energy levels in the chakras and meridians of the body, suggest it
is not beyond the bounds of human ingenuity to do so.
Other areas of research such as Kirlian photography and parapsychology
should respectively help understand the effects kundalini has on the
subtle body and the manifestation of psychic abilities she can bring.
But it seems that even the most sophisticated body and brain scanners of
modern science and medicine are unable to detect the workings of
kundalini.
Even so, meditators have already demonstrated under laboratory
conditions how transcendental states of consciousness can be monitored
through data readings on brainwave monitors, while yogis have shown how
the mind can have dramatic effects on the functioning of the body such
as through reducing the rate of heart beat
So it may be simply a matter of time before the refinement of sensory
mechanisms, microelectronics and computer software combine to give us a
machine capable to proving the effects of kundalini on mind and body to
the satisfaction of a sceptical wider public.
In the meantime, people who have experienced kundalini will continue to
express and communicate the nature of this experience in those
particular ways that are appropriate to their lives to add to the
gradual permeation of Western culture with a wider awareness of this
extraordinary energy.

Message-ID: <19970706.143732.27942.13.imtgATnospamjuno.com>
Hi All....
I woke up the other morning and found a note taped to my 13 year old
son's bedroom door that he had written. It said: "Mom, how do I get to
the Ultimate? Tell me." He left a pencil taped to the door also so I
could respond.
Of course, he was wanting to know how to reach the Ninetendo 64 websites
so he could visit them via the internet while I was at work.
I wrote specific instructions:
(1) Sign on to the internet.
(2) Click on 'Favorite Places".
(3) Click on any of the places I listed for him that he wanted to go to
- it would take him directly to it.
(4) Have fun browsing and looking at them!
(5) Print out anything you want so you can use it when you are playing.
While writing this, I thought to myself how this, too, is probably how we
*might* reach our own Ultimate in life (compare above with below - LOL
'as above, so below')
(1) Go within - meditate - to the vast resources we have available to
us
(2) Meditate on your heart's desire, or if not known, quietly focus on
your heart chakra. (3) When you discover your heart's desire, or
whatever it is you want to do or be or go to, focus directly on
that.
(4) Have fun browsing and looking at your heart's desire.
(5) When you are finished 'looking', write down anything you want so it
can help you play ultimately when you need it.
This sounds so much like the books on manifestations.... I'm not really
into manifestations anymore, but hey, if I gave my son good advice on
reaching the ultimate, it must be so too for me.
I think I'll go meditate on my heart chakra now on this rainy Sunday
afternoon...
Lots of Love,
xxxtg

John -
I'm the sort of person who resonates very strongly with the idea that 'all
that is' is One being. So I tend to look at "sexual energy", "life-force
energy", "Chi" and "Kundalini" as the single entity H20 manifesting as
"water", "steam", "ice" -- you get the idea. I suspect that context is the key
here: people in cold climates have 100 words for snow, people in the financial
world have 100 different words for money, and so on. In our human experience
our bodies and minds are teeming with energies which have very different
characters (this chakra energy, that K symptom, etc), so I suspect it's only
natural to categorize and catalog them. That's part of what humans do. But at
the same time it's all some more fundamental "essence" playing the temporary
role of "chi" or "K".
Actual white light, if refracted, produces a very legitimate blue, red, green,
etc. Peace in the human experience comes from befriending that paradox, does
it not?

Welcome, Newboy,
It sounds like you're working on kundalini to me. Kundalini is about doing
your work, not just about poetry, sounds, and visions. My kundalini
activated in the midst of efforts to do my work, and I had never even heard
of kundalini. Now I've been devoting my attention to learning and advancing
through meditation, study, yoga, etc., and my abandoned work is gathering
dust. At some point, maybe we'll both learn to integrate and balance the
inner and outer worlds. Meantime, the k-list is a great place to be.

After 30 years of struggling to find a healthful diet, I would add these
comments to Yogi Tom's very sound advice:
1. The closer the food is to being in a living state, the better. Don't eat
old food. Just compare fresh peas eaten right in the pea patch to the
disgusting excuse for food they become after having sat in a can for a few
years.
2. Never eat hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils (trans-fatty
acids). Our bodies cannot break down hydrogenated fats. Even the Vegan
Cookbook uses margarine, a hydrogentated fat, and you might as well clamp
your arteries closed.
3. Compare the nutritional density to calorie ratio. It's fine if food is
high calories, as long as it supplies lots of nutrients in the meantime.
When your body has all the nutrients it needs, it shuts down cravings for
junk.
There is a real treasure of a cookbook called "Recipes from an Ecological
Kitchen," by Lorna Sass. It is the only vegetarian-no-dairy cookbook I have
ever found that has truly delicious and satisfying recipes. This woman
understands taste, texture, and environmental responsibility. Even my
husband, the carnivore, likes the food.

Hiya:
Sage advice.. From the research on such fats that I have done, it seems
that what these indigestble oils do, is to coat the cells of your body and
reduce their electrical conductivity. This means the tiny electrical
messages from the nerves that regulate the cells function are are no longer
being heard by the cell. So it starts to go it's own way. (cancer,
metabolic problems) Flax or hemp seed oil are highly charged oils that will
fasten onto these fats and change their composition so they can be removed
from the body.. better meditations, and a smoother K. ride.. as well as
protection from viruses, allergies and bacteria. Nerves are primarily
composed of complex fats, particularly the ones found in cold pressed
untreated seed oils. You are growing a new nervous system, that needs to be
fed high quality fats just as a weightlifter needs quality protein.
Increasing the cells resistance is increasing your resistance to K.,
giving it more junk to try to burn through.. which can make the process
much more uncomfortable.
Nerves are regulated by calcium. Normal body Ph is acid, and calcium is
suspended throughout the body available for use..Like dissolving an
eggshell in vinegar. Calcium is a natural sedative. Under stress, the Ph
changes to alkaline.. the calcium precipitates out, often settling in the
joints to later cause arthritis.
Regulate messed up blood ph with warm baths, or sipping a cup of hot
water with a teaspoon of honey and a tablespoon of unpasteurized apple
cider vinegar mixed in. The honey is a source of calcium, and the acid and
Mother of Vinegar bacteria do the rest.
Also good for mild food poisoning.. most harmful bacteria prefer an
alkaline environment.. they die in an acidic one...one reason why stress
reduces immunity to disease. And messes up digestion.
Calcium is needed in quantity to digest protein.. to burn off the
nitrogen bindings and isolate the protein molecules from each other.. a
stressed body has no calcium available to digest protein, or to regulate
and calm the nerves, and the stress on the immune system is worsened when
the body thinks incompletely digested proteins are invading bacteria. The
result is an allergic reaction.
As far as arteries go, the most interesting information about heart
disease I have found suggests that the arteries become lined with
cholesterol as a protective function from the toxicity of excess iron in
the blood.
Wonem don't become candidates for heart disease until after menopause..
that is because monthly bleeding removes the excess iron from the body..
the risk for women is anemia.
The medieval prevention for heart disease was for men to be "bled" at the
change of seasons, to remove "old" blood... some wisdom there.. the modern
version is for men to donate blood once or twice a year. Taking blood out
of the system removes a quantity of excess iron, and forces the body to
produce fresh new blood. It is also a way to gradually remove blood borne
environmental toxins, such as aluminum in the blood which is known to cause
alzhiemers.
Hope somebody finds this useful.. Blessings, Angelique.
