Subject: [K-list] RE: Holly's Response & Update
From: Thomas M. Patterson

Holly, et. al,

(Gee, I hope I don't start responding to every posting. . . . ) Holly when
you mentioned being a former psychologist, it really struck me because I'm
just beginning my Master's program in professional counseling. Sometimes I
need a "connection" like that to really tune in.

I loved how your phrased your response, "But mostly I walk quietly, trying
to let my heart stay open." As someone new to the list and kundalini, all
the stories of angles, psychosis, and paranoia can be a little overwhelming.
I little walking quietly sounds very nice about now!

An update for those of you who were so kind to respond to my original
posting and questions: I've done some exploring, connecting,
one-thing-leading-to-anothering, and have found some "active meditation"
classes, like-minded folks in Atlanta to connect with, and like so many
others am feeling a great sense of "being home" (or at least not feeling
quite as lost.) Thanks again,

tom

OK . . . as an extra-added bonus (ta da) I'll share with you one of those
coincidences/synchronicity kinda things that happened to me/with me today.
Here goes: through several different sources I was led to learn more about
the Jaya Devi Yoga Center here in Atlanta. I had just visited their web site
and was about to send an e-mail asking for more info when . . . I received
an incoming e-mail from a teacher at the Jaya Devi Yoga Center who had seen
a posting from me on the Gay Spirit Visions list!

Now I was not pleased!! I *hate* those kinda things....icky. (You think I
might be experiencing some resistance? :)

  Welcome, Jose, and thank you for your moving story. I'm a former
  psychologist whose awakening was spontaneous. After about a month of
bliss,
  I found myself in a storm of anger and paranoia that astonished me (I'd
been
  pretty even-tempered, by nature and profession!). Over the years, the
swings
  between bliss and let-down have slowly become less dramatic and I've
learned
  there is great wisdom in the idea that everything in the universe will
  eventually balance itself. Like you, I've found the most joyful practice
to
  be simple presence in the moment. I love the rapture when it comes, but
  mostly I walk quietly, trying to let my heart stay open. Holly
