Tom and All, 
 The thing that we  all can come to accept on the list is that spirit is 
composing a very delicate thread of energy if we choose to understand 
the process here coming down.  
 Can I speak about this somewhat from an altered observation point? (I 
have a feeling about what it is I'm intuiting but the words will gather 
or collect to flow on down to manifest what is coming to me.)  
 We have people here from every walk of life, religious, experience and 
otherwise. We don't know this directly because we are screened by the 
computer itself. Yet, if we were to all sit in a room together, we would 
certainly become aware of many other aspects of each other that is 
purposely screened from the senses. 
 On one level it appears that certain people from all over the world 
have been attracted to something called a kundalini list to experience a 
conversation that is taking place over these computers at different 
points etc. You would all agree with this, but there is more happening 
here if we detach and observe it from a distance or another dimension. 
Nothing is ever as it appears. We are all directed here or we wouldn't 
be here. 
 We didn't just happen to fall into a conversation, spirit doesn't work 
that way, especially kundalini and the Holy Spirit in this hour and year 
as millenium energies manifest. Let's get clear on this if we can...we 
sleep at night, leave our bodies, and have all agreed to carry on this 
conversation or it couldn't manifest in our waking state over these 
computers. We have to know each other in the spirit world in order to 
even manifest this conversation. 
  So, we are not just having idle conversation, we are creating an 
energy field that is empowered by specific frequencies of spirit for a 
very unique and specific purpose, what exactly it is at any given moment 
is not apparent. 
  I actually feel it is an experiment in out of body spirit 
communication while using the computer as a focus point to create the 
illusion of conversation. This doesn't manifest on one level, it 
manifests on multiple levels at various points on the time line. It only 
appears we are having this conversation at this time, when in fact we 
have already had and manifest the communication during our sleep. 
  Let's say that Divine Will frequencies are dropping down through a 
conversation that is going on between two, four or more people. Let's 
also say spirit has created this dialoge to teach the pure frequency of 
love and to empty it into the earth plane. 
  What is love, a rather abstract word in itself is it not. And, how do 
you get the specific thoughts, questions, and diverse energies to come 
together to manifest light. So, even though the actual words in the 
conversation doesn't seem to embody love, (since disagreement was an 
important element of the shifting energies.) What actually manifest as 
fruit, came not from the words but from the shifting energies in the 
movement. And out of this after several energies entered each other and 
neutralized several aspects of negative/positive frequencies... what 
finally came out of this process was a piercing clear light which is 
love. All of the surface dialogue was to create the end result. 
 Do you understand what I'm saying, you cannot judge what is happening 
here simply on a shallow bases. Words don't communicate essence or 
intent, spirit does this. The fruit of action when from the Holy Spirit 
is what creates consciousness.  (The teaching comes through essence not 
the word or thought forms they project) 
 I guess what I'm saying is this, we can't be having this conversation 
in our bodies if we didn't already have the conversation and experience 
it at night in our true soul/spirit forms. The fact that many of us have 
connected up so much that we are in each others dreams only show this is 
a fact. I have spoken with many of you in my dreams, I know this because 
of self remembering. If each of you work at consciously bringing down 
your dreams you will see that we aren't just sitting here pusing keys, 
but we are manifesting the content of the dream training which actually 
occured last night.I have always experienced life in this way, meditate 
on it and see what comes to you.  
 Do I have any takers? Gloria

ERic, 
 HI, glad to meet you. I'm Gloria. 
 Anyway, what came through your experience that was very important is 
simple. YOu are now conscious of what kundalini is, and I also venture 
to say you have gained respect and awe at what is there. While what 
could have come from this is fear, dread, worry, etc. I don't get that 
from you since you have already started to meditate.  
 What you went through would have been easily( or perhaps not so easy) 
understood had you been working with a teacher with direct experience 
with kundalini, you would have rode the wave all the way through by 
understanding the nature of the illusion. 
  But, since your mind told you this was really happening to you, you 
bought into it and it obtained power to manipulate you. Whenever you 
awaken kundalini energies while all of the lower instincts, thoughts, 
desires, etc are in controll, you are going to experience lower force 
manifesting energies. It is just that simple. 
  What is needed now is to move out of the solar plexus into the heart 
center. When you are in the heart center, the mind slows down, the 
thoughts are easily seen, detachment  becomes awareness, and in all of 
this you learn the difference between what you think and believe, and 
who you really are. There is a big difference between the illusion and 
the reality.  
 The reality is going to require detachment, and the ability to look at 
anything straight in the eye without a flinch. Before you master this 
technique however, I suggest you work at reaching into humility, getting 
down on your knees inside and asking very sincerely that God comes into 
your life in a real and meaningful way that you can experience here and 
now. 
  That God can take the form you need, but it is your creator, and in 
that knowing of the father/mother God you will see that what you are 
really looking for is union with this Divine Light. And in this union 
you find the pure frequency of love, not the human variety, but another 
pure essence or presence. When enough love gets to you, then and only 
then are you ready to go and clean house. By the way, you will have to 
do this. What you hold in your memory bank is very much alive and well 
in your lower centers, and in your mind.  
 The dreams with the death, was only you telling you that your lower 
ego/self will die in order for the real you to really understand and 
surrender to the power of the serpent within, kundalini. There is much 
to experience, must to witness, observe, and let go of. It is all the 
quest. And, it is not the outcome that is so important it is the 
movement of the dance. Love to you. Gloria

Enjoyed your post . I also have been in similar process for 3-4 yrs now. 
One of the most helpful examples I had initially was a Thai 
businesswoman that I became friends with.  
She and I are in our mid 40s-however, in Thailand, that is considered 
old age.  She surprised me with the news that she was turning her large 
and thriving business over to relatives, placing her nearly grown 
children in college and private prep schools, and "leaving" her husband 
to join a Buddhist convent. I expressed great interest and not a little 
shock-had several questions and marvelled at her resolve and clarity.  
She very simply explained that in her culture it was normal to spend the 
1st third of your life growing up, the 2nd in raising a family and 
engaging in your life's work, and the last could be devoted to spiritual 
growth and preparation for the next life. Thai Buddhists are quite 
moderate in all their practice permitting her to be married and yet to 
be fully involved with spiritual life in a convent.  
The important thing is that her culture provided a framework for this 
very natural  
progression through life, whereas our  
cultural values lead us to question our sanity and stability as we move 
into these experiences. I was in the same process but lacked affirmation 
and fellowship.  
I immediately decided that I would reframe my experience in terms of the 
larger human culture and move forward with confidence and grace.  
we are in a sense, just the firstfruits in a never-ending cycle of crops 
coming to fruition-the rest will follow.   All the best, 
Debbie

THE SPIRITUAL BIRTH OF A SUFI
 
The following account is based on the published medical reports on  
Barkat Ali, a British soldier of Indian birth and Muslim faith, who  
migrated  to newly formed Pakistan and settled in Faisalabad in 1947,  
two years after the apparent mental breakdown diagnosed by doctors  
overseeing his case. 
 
Here he eventually became an internationally recognised Sufi spiritual  
teacher.
 
Barkat Ali - who later became known as  Sufi or Wale Babaji  - openly  
released these reports so as not to deceive anyone about what the  
psychiatric profession thought about his religious experiences.
 
Sufi Babaji has been visited by many dignitaries both from within and  
outside Pakistan including Benazir Bhutto, former Prime Minister of  
Pakistan, and Nawaz Sharif, current Prime Minister of Pakistan. His  
followers run into thousands and are spread around the world, both East  
and West. 
 
He has founded a hospital, a large collection of original editions of  
the Koran from all over the world and written scores of books on  
spiritual life. 
 
He died  in Faisalabad during Ramadan in January 1997. 
 
While a soldier, in a confidential report, Barkat Ali's commanding  
officer, Brigadier W.L.D.Veitch wrote: "It is no exaggeration to say  
that I have never met a man in India to touch him. He is as keen as  
mustard. He works like a clock in the office as well as on the parade  
ground."
 
On June 22, 1945, at the age of 34, while stationed in Roorkee in India,  
Barkat Ali abdicated his position in the army and sent a statement to  
Brigadier Veitch renouncing his commission saying: "Believe it or not  
this is the true story of my heart. I have finally and firmly resolved  
to lead my life as a faqir" - in other words, that he had given up his  
life to the spiritual path of Sufism, the mystical tradition within  
Islam, which is sometimes described as a journey to one's own heart.
 
He was immediately placed under military arrest and assessed by two  
doctors - Group Medical Officer Major King and the unit Medical Officer  
Dr Mitial - for a psychiatric disorder. 
 
His medical report read as follows: "Anxiety severe state unspecified  
chronic states he had a disease for the last five or six years to become  
a 'dervish' (hermit). This disease increased very much during the last  
four months, yesterday the 22.6.1945 he decided not to continue work.  
This led to his being put on a military charge.."
 
He was asked to accompany an officer and former colleague to psychiatric  
hospital and, though initially refusing to do so, was eventually  
persuaded to go by his friend.
 
On 25.6.1945 there is a record of a patient statement and complaint:  
"The patient thinks that he had some revelation in his dream and he  
should now dedicate himself to that. In obedience to that he now wants  
to confine his activities to religious duties only."
 
Ten days later, on 5.7.1945, his doctor notes: "Looks depressed and  
extremely asocial. Keeps himself busy in religious duties. Emotionally  
unstable and weeps easily. He is docile and gentle in behaviour. He is  
clean and regular in his habits. He gives an expression of distaste and  
non-adaptability in the present environment."
 
The diagnosis ? "Anxiety state severe unspecified chronic."
 
The outlook ? "It is almost impossible to clear him of religious  
intoxification and hermitic life. In the present state he is useless as  
a soldier. I therefore recommend that he is invalided form the service."
 
The cause of the problem ? "In view of his long service I do not find  
anything but the special strain and stress of the emergencies of the  
present war, as the attributing factor for his disease."
 
A senior officer, based in Roorkee, wrote: "What he has done was under  
the dictate of strong religious belief and in my opinion not with the  
intention to deny law and order deliberately." He went on to recommend:  
"He is an innocent accused and recommend that the charge for which he is  
under open arrest may be washed and the guard withdrawn."
 
And thus it was that an efficient and seemingly normal British soldier  
turned into an asocial God-intoxicated hermit overnight, taking with him  
only these insights from the British medical profession as evidence of  
what had happened.

Maybe we could leave the subject "Miraculous Healing" 
And in the body give the persons name.
 
We could all send love and energy.

>Dear Kundalini List,
 
I am new to your list and this is my first contribution. 
I have been to many Yagnas performed here in the USA at the Siddha  
Meditation Ashram in NY.  
Brahman Priests from India who have trained thier entire lives learning  
the ancient and sacred mantras from thier own fathers, who learned them  
from thier fathers before them and so on and so on back to the very  
ancient past. 
The mantras and prayers are offered to the fire or yagna with other  
offerings of ghee, rice, sacred woods, and facilitated by a  
representative "couple" man and wife who represent the devine male and  
female energies of this Universe. (Shiva & Shakti). 
The Offerings are burned in the fire and the smoke from the fire goes  
up in to the atmosphere of the earth and actually purifys the earth. 
There are many different types of Yagnas, done for different purposes,  
using different vedic prayers specifically for those purposes.
 
We can also have a Yagna inside our hearts and offer our offerings  
mentally to the inner fire of yoga.(or the kundalini) This can be  
anything. Things we wish to release, surrenders of ego, sacred prayers,  
offerings of auspicious things we love. The Inner Sacraficial Fire.
 
When the fire is over and the Yagna has burnt down the "ashes" or  
"Bhasma" is a fine white powder. This is the white ash Yogis smear on  
thier bodies to signify going beyond the 3 qualities of life (3 gunas,  
tamas-rajas-sattva) and residing in the state of the beyond the beyond  
(Nada-Bindu-Kalatitam). This ash acts as spiritual sunglasses for the  
energy centers where it is smeared often in 3 lines on the forehead. 
It protects, heals, and enlivens. The act of placing it on your body is  
also a supreme act of devotion towards the shakti or universal  
spiritual energy, reminding oneself of the ultimate rememberence "I am  
That" (Tat Twam Asi).
 
So, when we want to heal...remember that healing ourselves, and healing  
our own inner self is the supreme offering to this universe. The Inner  
Yagna. The the vibrations of this healing emanate outwards into the  
universe like the ripples of water in a pond when a stone is thrown in. 
Then, wherever we go whatever we do, whatever we touch has this very  
pure intention. This pure vibration. We do not burden others with our  
stuff. We take care of it within. Then we are walking lightly on this  
mother earth. Then we are being "in the light".
 
Thank-you for the gift of sharing about Yagnas.

and friendship that allows us to grow
 
into a trust that somehow there is meaning  
in the emptiness into which we all must go 
to finally find peace and rest 
  
an embrace has an infinite number of forms 
both hidden and seen 
dissolving the boundaries between us 
unlocking impenetrable secret doors 
and acknowledging the conspiracy of love  
that is at the heart of it all 
and can heal anything 
in ways that would amaze us  
if only we could discern them.....
 
resistance is futile in the face of an embrace 
for we cannot deny our nature  
to enter into relationship 
into something greater than ourselves 
and so discover the infinite capacity of the heart 
to contain and transform all things 
and still be able to laugh at the futility of it all 
as if we imagined we were going somewhere 
and there was something to become apart from what we are  
which is a being designed only to embrace 
that which we fear most 
the sense of other 
and so dissolve the delightful pain of separation 
and loneliness  
from which we imagine there is some kind of problem to be solved 
and somewhere else to be 
apart from now  
and this

Hi Folks...
 
I don't mean to be a party-pooper about this, and believe me, I am ALL 
for a miraculous healing list - I'm just having a few reservations 
regarding the whole concept.  
 
I guess my question would be is, if someone is to receive a healing, 
don't they have to be receptive to it (on a soul level), and if they are 
receptive to it, wouldn't the healing occur even if there were no 
prayer/healings/love/energy sent forth?   Wouldn't the thoughts/energies 
sent by us be just to make us feel better?  (which is ok in itself as I 
always love to feel better).  Heck, maybe that's the whole point here.
 
I've seen the scientific studies by what's-his-name on the effects of 
prayers on healing, which were very favorable for prayers vs. 
non-prayers.  
 
Maybe my whole confusion on this point is between asking for something 
(via a prayer healing) and sending love and energy.  (??)
 
Please recall that I just lost my love of my life and he was sent many 
many prayers, love, energy, and healings by many people  to no avail.  In 
which others  in turn reply, 'well, it was his time', or 'it was his 
choice to leave his body.'     Understand they said 'his choice', not 
mine or yours.    Excuses!  Bah!    Why bother?  (I'd really like to 
know)
