mine..

Well, I would certainly like to have more personal experiences on the
K-list website.. I have moved the 1996 archives to my home server, with
Frans consent, and will unveil it when it has been tweaked to it's new
location. Eventually the rest of the archives will join them. Home
server=4gig of space to put up extensions to the K-list website.. :) Room
enough, for all..:)

Let the idea float around in your head till you get inspired..

Why not? Your perceptions are your uniqueness..

That would be fun!! But I was thinking more of a series.

???? Why not? Sensory deprivation chambers have been used for
meditation and consciousness research for 20 years. Blindfolds are
routinely used in "trust" excercises in personal growth seminars.
Such an activity would be optional, of course.. not required. One of
many healing modalities available.
I do have spiritual houseguests who visit me, who are not my slaves or
devotees. :) Net-friends, who just want to hang out and relax in a
K-friendly environment.
>Yes, or as they say in the film:

LOL!! Well, I am hoping "they" will come sooner than that, and help me
build it... have a barn raising. An intentional community is a little more
work than a baseball diamond.

Exactly so.. Invoke the Domina within, and put the ego into romantic
slavery to Her.. thus, reverse the status quo which gives the power of free
will to the monkey mind and puts the unconscious in service to it's
beliefs. I am using the metaphor of romantic slavery, to teach surrender
to the Divine Beloved within. It is resonant.
>Still do. :) and her anger usually keeps
>flying above my head instead of hitting. ;)
:) Oh, I still have my stubborn moments, but that is how She made me
to be, so when I notice it I hand it back to Her... I tend to get
synchronicities that make me laugh at myself, instead of getting thrashed.

No, I quote it too.. often, to describe my work. That is what I teach.
What I am. Kundalini is the greatest love affair on Earth.

Yes. Humiliation is a useful tool for diminishing ego... and for that
Divine purpose, it is an act of love and mercy.

>K feels like that, most of the time.
Yes!! Yogananda goes on for a bit about how some seekers ran away, they
could not handle his sharp tongue and enthusiastic use of the Master's
cane. Yukteswar was notorious for being a very harsh Master. It made me LOL
with joy to find confirmation that there is such noteworthy precedent for
the effectiveness of harshness in diminishing egos.
That is the resonance.. to become a Devotee of a Master in the Far East,
you give the Master your life, and your Karma, and agree to submit and
obey. You become a slave to the Master's will, like Yogananda getting a
college degree he didn't want, coz Master said so. The word "slave" is not
used anywhere in the story of Yogananda... but it is written clearly
between the lines.. Understood, as part of the culture. They just call it
something else.
That depth of submission is considered outrageous in the West, everywhere
but in the world of BDSM alternative lifefstyles.. and within that
alternative relationship structure, is an elegant system of boundaries,
checks and balances of consensuality and trust that are defined in western
language.
It is necessary. "By your faith are you healed".. if the devotee has not
enough faith in the Master, to agree to surrender wholly, then they need to
find another Master, because they will only frustrate that one. Free Will
is Goddess Law.
Of course, not everyone chooses the path of the Devotee.. some
personality types, like my own, are not well siuted to it. I am a slave to
Goddess, and I have none before Her, but She bids me to act as Her vessel
to train others to serve Her, and She brings them to me.
>I have no problems with K, only with my own
>bloody insatiable ego. ;))
LOL!! That's the right attitude.
Blessings...
