Hillary,

Dear List,

I'd like to revisit this subject for a new poll. :))

Question:

1. Did you have a spontaneous awakening, or was it "planned?"
*** This is a difficult question to answer in a strictly "either/or"
sense. It was not planned in the usual sense in terms of method, goal, and
timescale. However, looking back, it was implicitly planned into the
practice of Yoga in general. So the method could be said to be Yoga, but I
always assumed that the goal was beyond my reach in the timescale of this
lifetime (having heard about Masters who practiced Yoga for many decades to
get certain results). Hence it was not spontaneous in the sense of not
knowing the background and philosophy, but the symptoms were definitely
surprising when they actually occurred. When one hears about these
symptoms in theory the reaction is usually "Yeah, so what?", but when they
are manifest directly into one's life then one is filled with awe.

2. What do you think triggered your awakening?
a. Was an "eastern" technique involved? ( i.e. meditation, Hatha Yoga,
chanting etc.) and if so which one?
*** Yes. Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga, Mantra Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Nada Yoga,
Bhakti Yoga, and Karma Yoga.

b. Was a strong emotion involved? Love? Fear? Pain? Despair? and if so was
prayer involved?
*** No. By nature I am not very emotional. One of the resulting symptoms
(but not a trigger or cause) was a deep sense of Universal Peace. Mantra
was involved, but not the personal form of prayer (ie I did not ask for
anything to happen in this respect).

c. Do you think heredity is implicated?
*** No.

d. Did you have an NDE (Near Death experience)?
*** No.

I'm guessing that it is perhaps a combination of factors that triggers K
and
it would be interesting to see which ones predominate!

Thanks everybody!

Love, Hillary
