We entered this world through a type of wound.
Through this wound we transcend.
Awakening is transcendence but ego sees this process as death.
It knows its' time is short.
It will fight for as long as it can but eternity always outlasts it.

HUH??? most certainly all souls are of equal value..but my opinions are
just that, my opinions. Biblical interpretation is a pretty wide open
field. Were you looking for agreement only?
If you ask questions, and solicit other's ideas, that is what you get.
I tho't I DID support your view when I said that "in practice, the poor
are often more willing..." oh well, then never mind me.
Best wishes for realizing your dreams, Ed.

I know what you're saying. Still, time is the arbiter here. Anyway, can
you envision a class of Third Graders reciting this at school assembly
in some devolutionary, post-nuclear holocaust, mutation-world?:
KK: not comfortably.
"The only cure now for the current ills
Is that the brilliant galaxy which fills
The chairs of power should be required to gain
Transcendence with attunement of the brain..."
(The Shape of Things To Come, 1st Edition, Gopi Krishna, p. 107)
(Note: unless you want to hear more of this Plan-9-From-Outer-Space
drek, let's hear a collective k-list..."yatta yatta yatta..." and I'll
move on to the next paragraph.)
Folks, if you don't think kundalini is dangerous, would you please read
that passage again? Does anybody know what the hell Gopi Krishna is
talking about?

Wait a minute, Kurt. You're saying kundalini integrates and amplifies
the brain. Then you're saying genius is in there and kundalini releases
it.
Are you saying that kundalini integrates and amplifies the brain only so
that more of whatever is in there can come out? There is no qualitative
effect at all? No gains in esthetic value?
KK: Trying to integrate my own experience and observations with the
written literature and traditions - kundalini has different effects as it
ascends. I think that for most ``kundalini awakened'' people that I meet,
IMHO, kundalini only makes it to the navel and as a result the primary
difference in these people is a kind of healthy physical vitality on the
positive side - and perhaps a little overbearingnesss on the negative side.
For a few others kundalini may reach the heart where it expresses itself in
love and deep peacefulness. One of my teachers, Swami Shivom Tirth, began
in his 70's to spontaneously write poetry and compose bhajans. Perhaps this
is the influence of kundalini at the throat.
But to make a long story short in a lifetime of interacting with kundalini
yoga pracititioners of different varieties I don't think that I've
encountered very much that strikes me as genius in the commonly used sense.
I do think that Picasso and other geniuses probably had active kundalini
but I think that is reflected in the volume of his work and not in the
``genius'' of it. To me, to be an artistic genius means to be in touch with
a muse - a deep element of the collective unconscious perhaps This is not
the same as kundalini awakening.
I do think that there is a vibratory change - if that's what you want to
call it. As the kundalini rises it should extinguish egotism and emotional
blocks (afflictive emotions) - but I would not equate this with genius -
although I would agree that it is more important than genius.
A thousand more questions could be asked. They're in there somewhere.
By the way, whatever happened to the magazine Spiritual India and
Kundalini? What is the state of kundalini research?
KK: the state of kundalini research is abysmal. We discussed this a while
back. I have found exactly two real scientific articles on the topic - when
I asked for interested about them the only reply I got was a private: ``we
don't need no stinking scientific research'' . This further confirmed my
questioning of the link between kundalini and genius.
Despite Gene's many postings regarding the importance of scientific
research, he could not name even a single scientist involved in his
organization nor point me to a single item of scientific work on kundalini.
I am personally interested in scientific research in kundalini and am
always happy to brainstorm on potential avenues of approach.
Kind Regards,
Kurt

Message-ID: <351183F4.F89DFB1ATnospambryant.edu>
Harsha: In one of my first philosophy classes at college, I read the explanation of
a Greek philosopher (Probably Aristotle) describing the nature of God. He reasoned
that God must be Perfect but wondered what a Perfect God does. A Perfect God of
course must Contemplate on Perfection, reasoned Aristotle. But since there is only
One Perfection, which is God Itself, God must be Contemplating His Own Self,
concluded the great philosopher. I was completely struck and spellbound by those
statements. I was 17 and did not yet know the nature of the Self-Recognition. But
even through the thick layers of illusion, it was as if eternity smiled at me and
started whispering sweet nothings in my ear.......

(thoughtful smile:-) Amazing, Gloria, how easily misunderstandings occur.
This thread, or should I say stitch, was really meant to convey a subtle
thought that has been swimming in my head since getting involved with
spiritually oriented lists. It deals with feelings I get while writing,
sometimes
feeling connected, other times-disconnected from ONENESS. The question:
where is God -now, just popped into my head and became an instant post.
My immediate reaction was to realize the ONENESS could be anywhere, even
in the post I was reading at the time.
I sent a copy to your address because I sensed that connection and feeling of
equality with your thoughts. I thank you for that. Ed :-)

This story was unknown to me. Yet, it seems the story only proves my point:
Would Angulimala have become Buddha´s disciple without his unconditional
surrender to a "false" Guru? As travel in those days-gone-by wasn´t that
fast, it is realistic to assume that Buddha was in the neighborhood all the
time; so the story is just another way of showing the superiority of Buddha,
being capable of converting even mass-murderers. Considering the inherent
exaggeration of the East (1000 killed) as compared to the West, the story
reminds me of Jesus, accepting a murderer on the cross as a disciple.
Really, getting rid of Angulimala could have been much easier. Offering
poisoned food would have done the job most effectively. As the story goes,
it seems even Buddha died because of food poisoning. Buddha was even able to
explain the "way of achieving union with Brahman" and the behavior required
for it - you know the sutra of course. No present day Buddhist can perform
this feat anymore. No doubt you are familiar with Marpa the translator
(Tibetan Buddhism). He was the guru of Milarepa. Yet, Marpa wasn´t a perfect
guru: as a result of an error he lost a son. So, do you really suggest that
Milarepa should have left his Guru because of this flaw? Of course
evaluating is important, so let´s go. Among others, the guru should be
"overflowing" with love/compassion - this can be perceived immediately. If
the guru is "overflowing", his behavior must be accordingly: among many
others, not causing any harm (or worse...) to sentient creatures and this
means he has to be a fruitarian - it is observed easily. Violating ahimsa
because the guru is "beyond the law of karma" IMO only shows the great guru
isn´t much concerned with being an example for disciples. The funniest thing
I ever came across was a Tibetan lama, consuming a big steak. When a visitor
flattened a pesky fly, the lama immediately started prayer for the poor,
deceased fly...(ROTFL).This great lama was utterly unmoved by his
contribution to animal suffering in slaughter-houses. A still greater lama
once stated: suicide is always very negative - no discussion possible. There
is a story about a former local ruler here. In a decisive battle against the
Spanish colonialists, he was loosing and decided he had to take his life
because he felt responsible for the defeat and its
consequences. In doing so (jumping from a cliff) he saved the lives of
family and commanders: if caught by the Spanish, he would have been forced
(by means of torture) to betray all of them and he would have been killed
after all. Not being fettered by dogmas, IMO the ruler performed an act of
extreme self-sacrifice - not just simple suicide. Some 24 years ago I had a
vacation in Sri Lanka. One day, I visited a small monastery. A monk offered
to show an unusual wall-painting on top of a mountain. When we arrived at
the top, we entered a cave and the monk sat down in siddhasana,
concentrating on me. All of a sudden, he was thrown away from me over a
distance of 2 meters, against the wall, by some invisible force. The monk
seemed very startled, got on his legs and took me to a well. He made me
kneel down and poured water over my head. He offered me to drink the water
as well. Down at the monastery, the monks and the taxi-driver engaged in a
vivid discussion. When they finally calmed down, the taxi-driver told me,
the monk had tried to see my mind, but was thrown away by a white light that
he saw instead. The Buddhist literature had no explanation for it, hence the
vivid discussion. Clearly, this monk was transgressing another law of
ethics: violating privacy. [BTW, does someone know how to master this
invisible force? It seems to be an effective means of transport and my old
car needs to be replaced (LOL)]. So one should really be careful with
gurus -
IMO and observation all have their limitations and flaws. However, unless
one can start with an experience enabling one to make the " ultimate quest"
the top-priority in life, a guru is needed and it is up to the disciple, to
decide which flaws are acceptable and which are objectionable. Of course,
this decision can be flawed too, as "acceptable" and objectionable" are
related to personal taste, ethics and culture. As any professor in Hindu /
Buddhist philosophy will outperform a guru, knowledge isn't a good test
either.
