From: Druout

Dear Grotweed,

Memory loss and cognitive dysfunction are frequent refrains on the k-list.
(see below for some K list URLs) Memory loss is also, of course, connected with
Chronic fatigue syndrome (which in turn sometimes seems to be connected with
Kundalini awakening. )

Krishnamurti also had a falling off of memory. It seems to be a matter of
staying in the Now.

 From p. 150 J Krishnamurti As I Knew Him. by Susunaga Weeraperuma:

SW: I have heard it said that you lost most of your memory when in the
1920's you experienced that great spiritual illumination.

K: "Psychological memory' totally dropped off.

SW: What about 'factual memory'?

K: Much of my past was also forgotten. I did not forget everything though
because I still remembered how to count and how to use word correctly.

.....

K: Memory is stored in the brain cells. When the mind is fully transformed
the very brain cells experience a mutation. It is a fundamental change which
cannot be explained in scientific terms. Unless you have personally
experience this mutation you will not know what I am talking about.

And from Leaves from a Diary Leena Sarabhai p. 12

Krishnamurti is quoted: "...I am always in a state of joy. I do not have
other emotions like that of anger and jealousy."

 "Neither do I recollect faces nor do I remember the names of people in
general. I have no preferences in my affection. To me, my followers, or people
who understand me, or the man on the street are all the same. This feeling has
not been with me from the beginning, but it has grown gradually. I have not
tried to cultivate it."

LS: Krishnaji addressed every one as 'Sir'. One day B addressed him as
'Sir'. With a gesture as if he was dizzy, he said, 'Oh! I shall faint'. B said,
"But you call everyone 'Sir'!" To this he replied, "Yes, I do, but that is
because I always forget names. The easiest way is to call people in that way.
Then I haven't to remember all those complicated things."

Personally I haven't noticed any dramatic falling off of memory, but then I
have never had a particularly good memory.

Love, Hillary

The memory loss is not a 'normal' type of memory loss as such, it is more of
an 'emptying' of the mind. It is like no longer being able to access
information stored in the mind because the information is no longer there, whilst with
normal memory loss I believe that the data is still stored but no accessible.
 Gosh, does this make sense! Does anyone have any information or comment on
this as regards Kundalini symptoms? I have looked in the archives but I
couldn't find anything.
