Dear Angelique, List
>1) What drew you to join this list? When did you join?
I joined in November or December 1997. I had been K awake for a little over
a year, but didn't have online access to the internet at the time. I had
done a search for Kundalini on a friend's computer and discovered El Collie's
Shared Transformation newsletter which I subscribed to.
I found the k-list via the Kundalini Resource Center. At that time I think a
search brought up only two or three pages of info on Kundalini. Now there
are 311,000 hits! I'm not sure how I would have responded to such an
overwhelming amount of information. I think might have crashed! LOL!
>2) What do you like best about it?
The connection with people from all walks of life and from so many different
countries and cultures. The fact that people come here with questions and end
up giving answers. :)) The sharing of extraordinary experiences. The fact
that the list isn't overwhelmed with "canned" posts. The energy that comes
from the posts. They still set me off from time to time. :))
>3) What do you wish were different?
Perhaps posts from more members. There are over 300 people on the list now,
and only a small proportion seem to post. But the lurkers add their own
energy. :)
>4) Are you awakened? Share your story.
Bits and pieces are in the archives...
After about two weeks of doing Hatha Yoga, I began to feel ecstatic and
blissful waves of "energy" surging through my body and brain. This was in Sept.
1996 and I was 55.
Around this same time I was also enjoying discussions of new age philosophies
with a recent acquaintance. The combination seems to have set me off.
The experiences have been virtually daily since they began, and with more
powerful episodes occurring at night. It's calmed down a bit, but I still I feel
waves of energy and occasionally ‘Zaps’ up the spine which explode
ecstatically in the brain.
>From my journal:
"9/17/1996; start rushing 9/24/96; so strong tell them STOP; 9/25/96 continue
incredible rushes... like my body is made up of strings that vibrate until
the vibration reaches my brain, sending it spinning into ether and beyond. What
is going on? Like orgasm but in the brain. Is it in part due to the Yoga? or
Melatonin? I wake up 2-3 times a night in this state and I don't want it to
stop. 9/26/96 still rushing all night long. quiet morning. tea time. My mind
will not hold onto it. 9/29 dreamt… with fireworks all night long... more than
rushes Top of head exploding. Surprised I'm not tired in the morning.... I
don't feel mystically inclined except that it is all mystically centered
somewhere in the brain. Never felt anything quite so powerful except for LSD. "
Anyone who would like me to send them fuller excerpts from my journal from
those early days, let me know.
>5) If you were to add anything to the list website, what would it be?
www.kundalini-gateway.org
Maybe a faces section for those who aren't shy..
6) Are you a lurker or do you like to post? What value do you find in each?
I enjoy lurking, but can't seem to resist posting! :) Even after six years
I find the various experiences fascinating.
>7) Are you on other lists? Which ones? What are your favorites, and why?
I'm on a number of lists, but seldom if ever post and I'm No mail for most of
them. I lurked on Kundaliniyoga list for a while and I recently subscribed to
Kundalini list at yahoo. I used to be on Mareens' list (SacredKundalini) and
Colette's list, but I seldom stay on any other list for long.
I occasionally look in on eheshare list and HarshaSatsangh to see how old
friends are doing. I miss hearing from David too! :)) Harsha is a love.
Eheshare is sometimes interesting because it is academically/scientifically
oriented.
.
Other lists: kundalini_p , (very quiet!) ,
kundalini_sex, RavensAndDoves, ThePowerofNow, voxhermes
Not sure what the last two are! :))
But the K-list I consider home.
>8) Would you like to have regularly scheduled chat parties? When?
I've never been comfortable with chat. Too fast paced for me :)
>9) What do you see as the end goal of the Kundalini process?
Chop wood carry water. Coming back down to earth. No end, really. (Just my
opinion.)
>10) How do you define enlightenment?
The joy of discovering that love is all there is and you are it. That it's
enough simply to BE. The realization that everything is as it should be and
always has been. Cosmic joy.
11) How do you define self realization?
The discovery that one's true nature is bliss and that we seem to be more
than what we appear to be. Remembering...
Love, Hillary
