Dear Mark,

I'm not sufficiently familiar with Buddhism to really comment, but I suspect
that Buddha's actual metaphysical experiences were based on this same
Spiritual Energy. How it is interpreted by religious founders, is IMO how
different religions are born.

Well, my guess is that cultivating any "beliefs," takes you away from the
present joy of being.

LOL!

more? Is what we see through the eye of Kundalini more true than what we
see through the eye of sight?

Well for me Kundalini has heightened other senses--all chakras being
potential pleasure centers.

For me, it simply allows greater awareness.

Well, K is certainly a fascinating phenomena! I don't see K awakened people
as being special. I was "told" early in my experience that everyone is
already awake, they simply aren't aware of it.
