Thanks for the reference to the SYDA URL I have checked it out and found 
some lovely clear pictures of the lineage of Baba Nityananda, Baba 
Muktanand and Gurumayi Chidvilasananda... if anyone wishes to have these. 
Won't cost you a dime!

Hi Gordon:  So you work for Boeing... hmm. and you are asking what energy 
is on the Kundalini list and perhaps seek a definition?  
You say:  >>>When we talk 
about Kundalini or the Holy Spirit as being energy flows, we surely mean 
more than power.  Power without guidance is pretty useless.  In fact most 
of us, if we could use more of anything, could use more guidance for the 
energy we have. >>> 
Indeed.. our language does not adequately encompass what we are talking 
about but somehow on this list... we know wht it is.  I wonder if you feel 
that guidance is something you get from outside yourself.. I hope not.. 
because there is only one source of guidance...true guidance is from 
within. The trick is to clean up the mind of its moods, blues, dreams, 
fantasies, glamor, and so forth so that when you look inside for this 
inspiration and help.. you get clear guidance. This is not easy always,  
however, as that can be messed up by interferences... mean spirits, ugly 
relatives, past lives haunting one etc. 
>>.. 
 Do we really mean spirit, or life, or soul, or 
intellegance, or mind, or God or something like that, when we say energy - 
something with purpose, not just power?  
>> 
EXACTLY .,. you sort of have it exactly!ATnospam  Grin!  
In Sanskrit there is a word for it SHAKTI... but in English there is not 
only no equivalent word, but in my experience, no equivalent experience to 
match it to a word.  But I think it is more like electricity than 
anything.. only the source of the energy/electricity is inside and it can 
be directed by you. 
Personally I call it my ENLIGHTENED WILL.  I know of no better more 
accurate term for it than this.... in my universe.  But I cannot convey 
what that is to you since unless you have experienced it.. it is merely 
words on a page.  Thereby lies the dilemma of language.. for unless a 
people has experience of something they cannot name it.  So that must be 
why English has only a few ways of expressing love...adoration, worship, 
infatuation.. but no where near as many as in Sanskirt.. which has words 
of all kinds of different experiences of love and bliss that we cannot 
even dream of...  So we come back to "power" and "energy" and the 
realization that our experience of the world has changed in the past 30 
years but our language is lagging far far behind. That is the state of the 
situation of our words.. and that is why it is going to be hard to help 
you much with it. 
 
 >>> 
 Vibrations are like that also. Vibration is what you 
get when you hit a tin plate with a spoon.  Is that what we mean, when we 
sense someones vibs?  
     Gordon 
>>>> 
If you have to ask.. I am not sure that you can understand the answer. 
I guess I will let someone else explain this -- as a child of the 60's I 
just assumed everyone understood... but I guess not.  
Now who can explain vibes?

Hi List: 
Since I believe that having had a Kundalini awakening, you are well on the 
way to becoming an evolved and hate to say it... MUTANT .. human being, 
could some of you give me some pointers for a discussion I am going to 
lead on the paradigm shifts of the 20th Cent. and how to incorporate these 
into the 21st Century in society and science.. as we teach it at the 
university and college level?  Somewhat of a mouthfull... But simply 
speaking.. what changesdo you think professors of today can make to meet 
the challenges of the  world of tomorrow?  How can we prepare for these 
changes?  What should we be thinking about?  
I am really up for integrating spiritual/soul issues into all fields of 
science and humanities.. but can't present it this way YET... any ideas? 
Ruth

This reminds me of Swami Vivekananda's dream...to pass on eastern

I have an idea for you, Gordon. Imagine that energy doesn't exist. 
Energy, like all concepts which we use to define this world, are just 
helpful references. Once we embrace a concept, we start seeing example 
of the concept made manifest. Then we say, "See, it exists."
 
So if energy doesn't make sense in reference to kundalini, "vibes," 
etc., put the concept aside.
 
For me, the term energy is the most approximate descriptiion of the 
dynamics of the unseen. I still don't know about kundalini (which 
according to some means I haven't probably experienced this), but I do 
know about surges that go through my spine. These feel like a mild 
electrical shock. Describing this as energy fits for me.
 
I'm also realizing that I'm picking up information from unseen sources. 
For example, my dreams often predict future events. It's not deja vu 
experiences. It's more that I encounter people in my dreams and they 
express their situation to me. (As a recent example, a woman I know who 
was trying to sell her business came to me in a dream crying. We 
embraced and she shared that her offer had fell through and she was 
going to close up. I saw her in person a week later and shared my dream. 
She still wasn't sure if the sale would go through. Yesterday she told 
me the sale is off.) It's my belief that we experience life on an energy 
level (maybe like a dress rehersal?) before we experience it on earth. 
Again, describing this as an energy level is the most accurate 
description for me.
 
I used to think energy was divine life force, i.e. love. Now I think 
thatenergy is neutral. It is the force used for expression and creation. 
I believe love exists in the space between energy. It's just like music 
and writing. Neither can exist without space. Without a breath between 
the notes, music would be one continuious sound. Without the white of 
the paper, words would be a blob. The space between helps give us define 
"energy." 
 
In terms of "vibes" from others, this refers to understanding some 
unseen dimension of a person. We've all enountered people who appear 
pleasant and cooperative, yet the hairs on the back of our neck raise. 
How do we know there is something amiss? Again, it's that unseen, 
"energy" dimension.
 
Once again, I am dismayed at the ability to communicate these concepts 
with mere words. They make so much sense to me until I try to explain. :

Message-ID: <19971010.091952.3526.3.imtgATnospamjuno.com>
 
Gordon asked: 
<<  Is that what we mean, when we sense someones vibs? >>
 
I used to ask the same question.  Had a friend several years ago who 
would meet a person and say ''oooooo this person has such good/bad 
vibes..... i gotta get away from them! (or get to know them better)''.    
I really thought she was *seeing* something beyond the physical.   This 
is someone who led huge seminars on spirituality issues.
 
After getting to know her better and becoming a very close friend,  I saw 
she was picking up vibes from a personality standpoint - she was a Type A 
personality.  When she would meet someone that was of the same type (a 
rather strong assertive  personality), she would get *bad* vibes from 
them and automatically not like them nor try to get to know them  because 
of their vibes.  I noticed all the B type personalities (easy-going, 
get-along-with-everyone type)  to her would give her*good* vibes.  They 
are the ones that would follow, rather than ask questions.  (of course, I 
am a B and ....  duhhhh, became her best friend) LOL....
 
So since then, I have been rather skeptical regarding the word 'vibes'.  
Now I see it more as 'This person is just not to my liking, my 
personality type'.  The same goes for rooms or homes we visit.  I don't 
see it so much as vibes, but as preferences.
 
I could be wrong on this, as this is just MHO.  
 
I finally had to leave this relationship because she had bad vibes..... 
LOL

Tom,
 
>I view with interest the appearance of the machines that can put someone in 
an appropriate brainwave state, and I think reinforcement of these states by 
use of biofeedback training might be a useful avenue to explore. 
 
Some years ago, I bought one of these devices to help with some "killer" 
headaches I'd been having--migraines that lasted sometimes for days.  It 
helped a lot, but there was also a nice side effect: after using it for 
awhile (several months, not always regularly), all I had to do was to sort 
of remember the state I reached when the headache would start to lift--and I 
had the same effects, without hooking myself up to the goggles and 
headphones.  Not unlike a meditation mantra--just thinking the mantra I use 
will almost automatically move me into a meditative state.  
 
BTW, the headaches have gone away, totally.  I'm not certain if it was a 
change in my lifestyle (including diet), my Reiki clases, or if it was a 
cycle of some sort that is now complete.  Whatever, gee, I'm glad of it!

Subject: Vibrations/Energy 
Message-ID: <343E416C.6F5ATnospamprodigy.net> 
 
I saw that someone was asking about vibrations and energy.  ok.. here's 
Flute's explanation that I use in my Reiki Classes.(with mis spelling) 
Have you ever seen the scientific drawing of an atom.  You have a center 
(nuculus) surrounded by two other units (a proton and a neutron - 
(positive and negative). (there is scientific proof of another element 
in the form, but I don't have the specifics yet.. (The Physics Major, I 
usually talk with is out of my area right now.)but anyway.. 
This movement in the Atom created the movement for the growth and a cell 
to divide.. When it divides there is more movement or a vibration.  
Everyhing has this movement.  A human body has 1.4 volts in each cell, 
and has about a qudrillion cells.. so we are batteries.. But all of life 
has the same DNA of electrical beginnings.  Everything is movement and 
the movement is vibrations.. Vibrations of the cells determine what the 
structure is formed into. A mountain (slower vibrations), Fire (fast 
vibrations) or sound (vibrations that you can feel as waves or throbing 
within your eardrums with the assistance of your brain interr the 
vibration, so that you may hear). 
Healers operate at 7.8 MZ (refer to Emergin Light - Barbara Brennan) 
which is a different level than most people. We have a special grounding 
that makes the vibration different.  Level 12 Mz is in another dimension 
where your intuition and manifestation are creating reality (accordin to 
Monroe Institute).  So we even as humans have a different vibrational 
level.  Many people can feel, see or react to that vibration.  I am 
empathic, so I sense, feel people.. as they walk in a room, or if they 
have pain.  I generally can tell them where it hurts.  With Reiki, I 
also seem to have the abilty to bring up the kundulini in people, but I 
am very careful whom I work with. yes.. you can call it a Shatki or 
whatever words you need to translate the thought patterns and forms that 
reside in your mind.  
I was at the Expo this last week and a man approached the booth. He aske 
what sort of medtation I used.. I told him, I meditated and then found 
the words for the feeling and I didn't specifically call it TM or 
anything.  He lookd up and the color of his eyes drew my attention. They 
were intensely Black and I think the light hitting them made them flash 
like lightening.. I told him.. "Your a yoga" and he said Yes! and told 
me I was the "Fourth Ray" and walkd away while I stood there not sure of 
what had just happened. His energy was astounding. 
How's that for explanation..!! 
Brightest Blessings to scatter all your shadows..

Jeanne,
 
 I've been aware of these machines for a few years but haven't had the opportunity to buy one yet.  And there are lots of different ones...  But I recently saw a spec for one that covers all my needs (I think it's called  the Polysync Pro) and there's a monthly payment plan involved so it isn't too expensive all at once.  I'm hoping to get it in November.  I'm glad that you can ward off migraine by remembering the feel of the state - that's what's so interesting about these machines, that you can potentially attune yourself to a state that you might have had spend years of meditation before you could attain it.  I think it will be a good complement to the kundalini training I aim to undertake.
 
Bye, 
Tom
 
P.s. Can you recommend a good web-page on reiki?  I'm only vaguely aware of it, but it sounds worth looking into.

There is no wisdom in the fool who thinks he may be wise. The wise know they are  
foolish. 
The difference is very subtle.  
Those who play the fool out of wisdom are still playing. Those (like Lobster) who do not  
differentiate between folly or wisdom unless people can not do so, are foolish enough to  
point out the difference. 
You have been caught jesting Kourt Jester but have you been foolish enough to think  
yourself wise?

For those of you able to cope with arch-scepticism and with genuine psychic gifts and in

When we talk about Kundalini or the Holy Spirit as being energy flows, we surely mean  
more than power.  Power without guidance is pretty useless.  In fact most of us, if we

Lobster: 
First of all this energy is experiential not verifiable. It is personally valid. The  
important point is that people making 'energy movement claims' and 'psychic abilities'  
claims should put Randi out of business. They never have. This might tell you something  
about the relationship between 'power' and imagination. Do not be fooled by those with  
'powers'. Those with genuine gifts exist but are rarely exposed or even discussed.
 
However many of us feel a force or movement which we give various names. It may be  
traceable to hormonal or mental processes. It deserves investigation because it alters  
and improves (though it seems also to disrupt some) peoples experience. Do not think  
that K can not be investigated, it has been, can be and will be. A great deal is  
imagination . . .

THE "SOLVED MYSTERIES" WORKSHOP
 
Prize-winning Dr. Marvin Minsky, of MIT, has just announced he's 
coming to the October 31-November 2 "Solved Mysteries" workshop at 
JREF.  We might even prevail on him to say a few words to the group on 
Sunday morning that weekend.  If you're intending to be there, we 
still have hotel rooms available at the Wyndham Hotel, and we're 
revving up for a concentrated few days of farce-bashing and 
interactive problem-solving.  The irreplaceable Geri is at 
1-888-USA-JREF (our new toll-free number) to accept registrations, and 
we take all major credit cards.  PLEASE-- the 888 number is for book 
purchases, membership inquiries, and workshop registration purposes 
only.  We hope you'll respect that limitation.
 
Lots of inquiries about what I'm doing here in Australia, and I regret 
that I can't tell you just yet.  End of next week, all will be 
revealed.  I can tell you that a certain spoon-bender just might start 
making lawyer noises again after it's all out.  Or is he still around? 
I'll be meeting with the Australian Skeptics tonight to discuss all 
this (it's already Friday here, for some reason mere mortals cannot 
understand) and help them get ready for the big surprise that will 
amuse Down Under next week.
 
I have an avid "remote viewer" on leash who very much wants to make me 
cough up the 2000 Club reward (currently US$1,240,000, but only 
guaranteed by JREF to US$1.1 million) as I witness his remarkable 
powers.  Trouble is, these folks are so accustomed to dealing with the 
innocent and the naive, that they want to run on and on about how they 
will do fuzzily-defined tests, rather than GETTING DOWN TO IT.  I have 
to read endless descriptions of theories and peripheral notions of how 
wrong science is, before they get to the point where an agreement 
might actually be possible.  In the vast majority of cases, as with 
all these confrontations, they back out at the last minute, as you 
know.
 
The rather charming chap who has been doing the "remote viewing 
dowsing" (don't look at me like that, that's what he called it) with 
us, tried to change the protocol after 6 misses in a row (1 out of 10 
chances) and when I insisted he do the entire agreed-upon ten tests, 
he complied and obtained a perfect score.  He got ten out of ten 
wrong.  He was at one point ready to attend the Solved Mysteries 
workshop to give us a demonstration, but when I told him he couldn't 
run on about "vortexes" and "vibrations" and various theories about 
how his powers worked, but had to GET DOWN TO IT, he cancelled out. 
Similarly, the strident and rather pompous homeopath who had the 
sure-fire, three-day, convincing way to prove that homeopathy worked, 
decided that he couldn't get me to "resonate" properly, so he's out of 
it, too.  Where ARE these powerful forces when you need them?
 
It would be very instructive if we could get a claimant to attend the 
workshop and show us his/her powers, but that seems only a remote 
possibility.  Frankly, we have LOTS of material to cover that weekend, 
but live talent would still be welcome.  After all, we're told that 
the world is brimming with psychics, and surely ONE would be 
interested in taking the 2000 Club prize.....?
 
We're still accepting pledgers to the 2000 Club, of course.  Though 
the pledged amount is well in excess of the US$1.1 million we 
advertise, that's as much as the JREF can properly guarantee from its 
assets.  All of the amount should be available, but any winner(s) 
would have to pursue anything in excess of the 1.1, themselves.  We're 
only good for 1.1 at the moment.  You can pledge by sending in a copy 
of the official form, which you can get via a stamped, self-addressed 
envelope mailed to the JREF.  Overseas and Canadian pledgers, envelope 
only.
 
The legal cases in Canada continue to develop, slowly.  There have 
been heavy changes involved, and all will eventually be told, of 
course.  Many have inquired about this matter, and I'm not at liberty 
to give details, yet.
 
All for now.  This long posting is the result of a 14-hour time 
difference, with me working at impossible hours while awaiting the 
wakening of Sydney. My poor body!

I think it's both "vibes" and preferences.  Everything IS energy, some of it 
dense (like this desk or that Mack truck), and some of it is subtle, like 
color, certain sounds, thoughts, feelings, television and radio waves, etc. 
Many of these are measurable, although currently the scientific community 
likes to draw the line at thoughts and feelings--even while they measure 
these on electronic devices.  "Good" vibes or bad ones, however, are a 
matter of preference, and it can extend to any of these things--the desk can 
give me a "bad" vibe if I happen to think it's a bad experience to stub my 
toe on it--or a "good" vibe when I enjoy doing some activity involving the 
desk. 
 
With people, it is a lot the same: we often seek out people who validate 
some concept of ourselves, like your friend who saw herself as a leader 
seeking those who would follow.  Some folks encounter lots of "unpleasant" 
people.  We're all pretty magnetic, drawing those who somehow validate these 
notions of what we think the world is like.  Thus, if someone believe the 
world is full of mean spirited and nasty people, it really seems that way 
because they draw, magnetically, yet somehow unconsciously, lots of jerks 
into their sphere of being.  
 
These thoughts of ours are more mighty than we can imagine.  You can leave 
behind a residue of what you think.  It somehow remains long after the 
thought was released and forgotten.  I've always been something of an 
empath, and have been able to "pick up" on whatever has been left behind on 
objects and rooms as well.  If I take the time to investigate what I've 
"picked up," it's usually right on the money.
 
I think "vibes" are quite real--it's how we sometimes communicate with one 
another consciously or unconsciously, it's how we send healing (or, for 
some, curses) to another through Reiki, a loving touch, or a caring thought. 
But, like with anything else, when we label them as good, bad, or whatever, 
that's preference.

A few years ago I was visiting a friend whose father was a practitioner of various types of alternative medicine.  I happened to see a number of books on radionics there.  Some of them seemed to have to do with measuring or manipulating energy in the chakras.  If anybody has knowledge about this I'd like to hear about it.

In the short time that I have been reading this list I have noticed a lot 
of use of the words I and me. 
Is Kundalini a way to discover your self ? I thought the list would be 
about meditation and posture techniques. Is there a mailing list for these 
types of discussions ? I do not get newsgroups.
 
TIA
