1) What drew you to join this list? When did you join
A few months ago.
I'd started practicing kundalini yoga again, this time from a book. Then I read on the internet that the author's guru was surrounded by controvacy and it put me off, so I wanted to see what others thought about it. Then I became interested in what was being posted on the list and decided to hang about.
2) What do you like best about it
I find the posts to be interesting, mostly because they are quite weird
3) What do you wish were different
I was a bit surprised by the perception of the members of the list. I didn't make an introductory post (this being the first list I joined I don't know the etiquette), but I certainly didn't feel this welcoming support that others talk of. In fact I have been about to leave many times. I feel petty to even bother to mention it, but it is just my perception. Basically I feel that unless I agree with the prevailing mood of the list, then what I have to say or ask will not be accepted or even considered. I find there are so many contradictions between what members say about what they have realised compared with how they actually act on the list. For instance, although I find that living from the gut, rather than the head, is more beneficial for one's life in many instances, I find that many members talk down to others for intellectualising. Yet surely typing words out to talk about your experiences and debate certain concepts requires some form of intellectualisation and playing with words!
4) Are you awakened? Share your story.
No.
6) Are you a lurker or do you like to post? What value do you find in each?
Since I am not awakened (?) I do not post as I feel that I'm not sure what I would say and doubt its value, I also think I would get a lot of stick (or no response) from other members if I actually say what I thought (like now), or asked the questions I would really like to ask (really basic things that I don't understand about kundalini, but htat I am interested in).
7) Are you on other lists? Which ones? What are your favorites, and why?
No
10) How do you define enlightenment?
Freedom; experiencing the reality of the universe.
11) How do you define self realization?
The same
