From: Douglas Fraser

Hi everyone,

   I was wondering if people wouldn't mind letting me know what sort of
personality profile they fit - here's a reference to the Myers-Briggs Type
Indicator

http://www.personalitypathways.com/type_inventory.html

I am working on a rough rough rough theory of creating a theory of K and
what the
heck is going on that encompasses the psych and physical aspects - there's
certainly
a lot of talk about the spiritual stuff and a few good books relating
chakras to psych
matters (Judith something...?) but I haven't seen much in the way of
physiological
explanations of what goes on while K is active (I haven't looked too hard
though -
have a life and all, but over the past few weeks, I have come across bits
and pieces
of info that are assembling themselves together in my head....)

One part was an explanation of what is occurring at the brainwave level
that causes muscle
twitching and startle responses while a person is meditating. I think I
can link this
to kriyas etc - and some sort of partial activation of K or something may
account
for the not-really-talked about fact that meditation for some people is bad
- psychotic
symptoms happen in some people.. so basically I'm shooting for some more
acceptably scientific (i.e. reductionistically low level) explanation of K
- then from there
by adding in psych related info (and how psych stuff ties to physiological
stuff) one
can build a end to end physical to spiritual systems theory of K.

And you know, all that chakra stuff is so newagey california hippy crap.... :)

So first stop is to see if there is a bias in the group of people
experiencing K towards
introversion vs. extroversion (the psychological definition as defined by
Jung - not the
popular definition) <i.e. shy people are introverted extroverts, while
extroverted introverts
can talk your ears off like anyone else>

This list may not be the best way to gather a proper sample, but it at least
would give me a sense of direction

thanks,
doug
