It is funny isn't it, even though I don't discount the benfits of yoga as an
aid to physical health, sitting meditation as being beneficial to stilling
the mind, visualization as a helpful way to balance (chakra) energies etc.,
in themselves these don't lead to enlightenment (blah) if something else has
not taken place. What is that something else?
Coming to a point that you don't take any bulshit anymore, from yourself nor
from anybody else.
An absolute 'standing up for yourSELF', when 'survival' turns into
'SELF-revival once and for all'.
I don't see the enlightenment or kundalini process as as a way to reach some
new stage, like a new evolutionary development. I see it as a way to return
to one's original self and take it from there, self-regeneration, a life
restoration process. Thus K gets you 'reborn... and LIVING again', a big
reset button... CTRL+ALT+ DEL. And the only person who can find those
buttons and can push them is the person him or herself. Then the work really
starts... maybe towards some new evolutionary stage, but who cares. Many of
those (r)evolutionary fascinations, ascensions, etc. are strategies to not
have to push the reset button... to not have to function in this life... to
not having to start the real work that happens after the reset procedure (K)
ran its course. Function and responsibility take on their original meanings,
the word sacifice starts meaning holy action, holy work. Self negation as in
the usal meaning of the word sacrifice is gone. This sacrifice comes easy,
there is no giving up, no merits to be attained... direct action... no
thinking, no goal...it is always right on... Boddhisattva work. Help ppl.
discover their reset button.... the warm boot.
Maybe that button can be found by the belly button, the solar plexus
chakra... that's where most of the anxieties are stored.
Boddhisattva work? Do boddhisattvas work? You notice that the needful things
you used to do in life, you still need to do. But now you just do them. What
you don't do apparently does not have to be done. It is very simple: There
are no 'I should...'s or 'I shouldn't....'s anymore. No more "You ought
to..." or "I really have to..."
So the boddhisattva work is not lik
Got to go
Love, Wim
