Dear Wizkid,

I'm not sure what you are saying here. It's pretty well documented that K can cause temporary psychosis (well, what psychiatrists call psychosis! ;) ). As Dennis Gersten, M.D. wrote in his book Are you getting Enlightened or Losing your Mind? "On paper, schizophrenia and mystical experiences come very close to looking the same" p. 131 Some of his distinctions seem a little fuzzy to me, however.

As Paul indicated, it seems to be a temporary condition in the case of K-psychosis. It is often said that people who have spent time in mental hospitals seem to be able to distinguish those who are K active from those who are not. :))
We did a poll on the subject some time ago:

"Kundalini, a sudden release of intense energy throughout the body, may look like mental illness--like mania, depression, or anxiety. It may look like physical illness...But kundalini is none of these. It is a prolonged altered state of consciousness, and the various physical symptoms it produces demonstrate its powerful body-mind-spirt connection. " p. 110 Dennis Gersten MD Are you getting Enlightened or Losing your Mind?
