Dear Brett,
Delighted you finally delurked! :))
It's interesting how many of us need confirmation. Doubt seems to come with
Kundalini territory! :)) Even Krishnamurti and Gopi Krishna felt doubt at
one time or another. K is such a strange phenomena! And there are so many
different reasons for us to doubt--among them the feeling that we are not
worthy (the Why me? phenomena) and the fear, to paraphrase the Dennis Gersten
book "Are [we] getting enlightened or losing [our] mind?"
When we are older we know for a fact that something really extraordinary is
happening, because we have years of "ordinary" experience to compare it with!
When younger (and perhaps more likely to be taking drugs) it may be more
difficult to sort things out.
Your experiences are absolutely such classic K! -- From the spiritual
searching (which often triggers K) to the "Shaktipat" experience of the
Pentecostal church :)) To say nothing of your powerful "freight train"
description!

The wonderful thing about K is it really does bridge the gap of all
religions, because virtually all religions are originally based on the K
phenomena IMO.

Same thing of course! :))

Well, I hereby dub you K active! LOLOL But then you knew that already! :))

Just K doing its thing.

Yes. Sometimes the sexual nature of the kriyas worry people--especially
those with a strong Christian background.

And I'm looking forward to more of your posts! :))
