Hello there, Felix!
How the heck are ya?
So, what purpose to life. Hooha! Drama drama drama or dharma dharma dharma.
Ike (Eisenhower) over fifty years ago warned this nation (he was the president, ya know) against
basing our economy on the military-industrial complex. And you are right, the US of Amerika is still forcing itself (the Amerikan Way of Life) on every other nation on the planet.
This morning I did some google searches. Try "fear of peace" "fear of enlightenment" and "spiritual humor".
What if schools, hospitals, and so on had all the money they needed and the military had to hold bake sales! ha!
Ike's point is still relevant today - adjusted for inflation of course. ;-) Instead of spending a billion dollars for a stealth bomber, how about spending that moolah on health care, affordable and dignified housing, education and self help programs?
How does this relate to kundalini you ask. Well, alrighty then!
We all have our ideals of how life is supposed to be - our basic belief systems and cherished concepts. The meme that we consider to be correct. Somewhere along the line though we might ask the universal kahuna what is really going on, what is the purpose of all this, isn't there something more, something real, something that can make sense out a senseless world?
And so we become seekers. We knock on the proverbial door, we want to know, we want to grow and understand and become enlightened, awake fully realized human beings. We have started the process of this growth, seemingly through our own volition.
In short, we have asked something 'outside' of our meme for help. The fear and pain that comes with the kundalini experience is there mainly because we want the universe to fit into our 'personal' belief system. The joy and ecstacy comes when we are able to let go of our beliefs.
live and let live
love and let love
ciao - michael
