A deep bow to you for stating this clearly.

Traditions and scriptures are fine, but in essence what we're doing is
transforming our very unique and individual selves - and each path back to
source seems to be supremely unique and individual as well.

While I can agree with Horia to a certain extent when she (or is it he?) says
that meditation is necessary to guide the shakti through the chakras and
still the mind, it's very much true also that meditating seems to amplify the
energy and increase pressure within the system.

I've done a lot of things that would have gotten me booted out of any ashram
real quick, just to come down from to much kundalini-pressure. (And most
gurus would have shaken their head in disbelief and called me a utterly
hopeless case. :))

Not meditating can probably be very wise in certain circumstances.

And, although quoting books and traditions is somewhat contrary to relying
mainly on one's own experience, I'm reminded of Gopi Krishna, who suffered a
lot by taking up his meditation practice again before his system was ready
for it.

All the best

Michael
