Beautiful Mystress,
Actually, I have been there and I do understand it. Jumping to the
other side of The Grand Illusion was the most liberating moment of my
life. It not only saved me from a deadly, self destructive lifestyle,
but also turned the whole package inside out. It was a good thing, but
like some others on this list, my opening was sudden and unexpected. I
had no frame of reference for it.... so I went flippy for a while.
Coming here has given me words of reference, but like you said, there's
really no explaining awakening to someone who's asleep. And to the good
people on the list who's eyes are already open, explaining, debating and
defining..... well, I suppose it's just a pastime.
I still don't have the reference language that other fine folk here
have, but I won't loose sleep over it. Perhaps my staying at back of the
classroom is my way of not getting cooked in the trans-oceanic fish
kettle.

Tear it to shreds? I loved every word of it!!!
I think it's high time you wrote an ink-on-paper book. Being an ex pro
dom, you could add that touch of elegance and delicious danger and style
that is so lacking in spiritual literature these days. And the love and
crystal insights of the writing would do a lot people a lot of good.

Part of my love affair with the world is remembering that the vast
majority of people on this planet don't own computers. Of the ones who
do, only a tiny, *tiny* fraction of those are on Kundalini discussion
lists. Sometimes we can get so wrapped up in making sure that other
Kundalites know that we *know* (like I'm doing now) that we forget that
there's a world out there of broken hearts and broken bones.
May we never succumb to elitism. We're only heart, blood and bone after
all.
Always a Student, Ever Pawing at Your Carrot,
Paul
