Heh heh heh.. a paragraph from my new book:

  Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is
shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods. Albert Einstein

   I laugh at myself, writing a book on Kundalini, a transformative
experience that truly cannot be explained or wholly defined. Moving out of
the silence of the Zen state, to fill my head with words and explanations,
sharing what I found to be useful, along my path. What others found useful,
when I shared it with them. I have often said that there can be no such
thing as an "Expert" of Kundalini..impossible, as holding the infinite
within the ego is impossible. But, a lot of people seem to think I know
something about it, and they have asked me to share my understanding to
help them in their need. So, the book serves a purpose..

   Do my definitions and explanations make a net that can hold the
infinite? No! What they do, is give your frightened ego, or perhaps the
frightened mind of someone close to someone who is undergoing this
transformation, some threads of understanding that will dispell fear and
make the process easier to cope with. Thus, there is purpose to my
writing, and to your reading. But one day, farther along in your process
you will understand that my explanations are a comfort, as a bedtime story
is a comfort to a child. Eventually all conceptions must be surrendered,
transcended. To attain the goal of enlightenment, even the desire for
enlightenment and ideas of what enlightenment, self realization might be
like, must be discarded as useless baggage that you cannot take with you,
where you are going.

A book is magical; it transcends time and space. -Daniel J. Boorstin

  Everything in this book may be wrong.
Richard Bach, in 'Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah'
