Subject: quality of life 
Message-ID: <33EE81CB.30F5ATnospambest.com> 
 
With kundalini flow we look at life differently from most people. I've 
recently been  noticing from various sources a common theme: the quality 
of life in the U.S. 
  A European friend commented that Americans are afraid of commitment.We 
have lost so much in the pursuit of individual feedom. And yet he makes 
his home in California because it gives him a level of openess that he 
doesn't find in Europe. 
Another friend, on his way through to his hacienda in Mexico, mentioned 
that he has missed Mexican society- almost no one is excluded, you know 
people for miles around and they know you. 
   Friends visiting from Denmark mentioned that the streets here seem so 
empty, so few people strolling in the beautiful weather, and that until 
they visited me they had been longing to sit in a garden.  They were 
surprised when a lunch visit turned into an overnight stay, because in 
the three months they had been visiting the U.S. they had found 
hospitality to be limited. They plan to move to Boston, though, for 
education (Harvard) and spiritual opportunities which do not exist in 
Denmark. 
  Another friend who was born in India said that his friendships here 
were based on economics, mostly work-related.  He loves that his 
daughter will grow up in an environment with more equality, but misses 
the sense of community he grew up with and worries about his daughter's 
values towards money and society. 
   The newspaper has been filled with news of record profit-taking from 
the stock market, the widening gap between rich and poor, and record 
prices for new cars. This last is because many cars being sold are the 
luxury vans and trucks which also use more fuel.  A newspaper poll on 
greed found that no one could define it, as it had never been fully 
defined to them. 
   So, kundalini list, what are good values?  What is a good lifestyle? 
What is greed? The value of money? 
  Should we spend all that we earn because we worked hard for it? Work 
hard to give our children priviledges such as private schools? Drop out 
of the city race and high prices for rural life?  Join a commune or 
spiritual community? Where do such oddballs as us fit into a world where 
good pecs, stock options and a well-cut suit define success for so many? 
  I know that we cannot reach a definite concensus on this, as we are 
all individuals and this is after all, personal and opinion-based. But 
among us we have tried many lifestyles. What works for you? Or doesn't? 
I keep thinking that somewhere in this world there is a place where I 
and other spiritual people can fit in, can be responsible and part of 
the community and still an individual.   
My personal experience hasn't been positive around finding a community 
where spirituality is its' many forms is accepted. 
I tried the "spiritual community" life, and I found that much of it was 
economic poverty and incredible control issues from the people in power. 
I tried rural life, and found that the lack of an economic base was such 
a stress on resources that spiritual life was drowned in bills. And the 
community was closed to newbies who didn't want to be volunteers at the 
Baptist Church functions. 
I'm currently living in Silicon Valley, where there are a tremendous 
number of healers and spiritual teachers and resources. The downside is 
that the success of electronics the industry is drowning us with 
corporate types working through issues of dominance, power, and 
self-interest who consume resources at an astounding rate.  I love the 
money I make here, but I am aghast at how fast housing and living costs 
eat through it. There is increasingly less balance here. Has anyone of 
you found a kinder, gentler place where children and the elderly are 
cherished?

Morgana,
 
I so well understand your quest for a place.
 
Let me share a bit about my place with you.  I think it must be a vortex 
because so many like- minded people are moving here.  "Here" is 
Blairsville, Georgia.  We're in the Blue Ridge mountains very near North 
Carolina in what was once Cherokee territory.  Although I'm from Florida, I 
had an instant affinity for this land.  As I'm part Cherokee, as well, 
perhaps there was a bit of cell memory at work.
 
I live on a river that winds down the mountain, collecting springs and 
tributaries at every bend.  Deer run through the woods.  Wild turkey gobble 
and hummingbirds sip at our feeder and investigate everything red.  
Raccoons dig for crawdads along the river bank.  Now and then, on summer 
weekends rafters float by.
 
Our house sits on a hill where the river once ran eons ago.  Smooth washed 
river stones underly the foundation and when you hold them in your hands 
you can sense the animals that once walked the land.  I painted runes on 
one of them and invited it into my house.
 
It's a beautiful place I live in and I am so grateful for the opportunity 
to be here.  There are many metaphysical groups and classes here, many 
opportunities to meet new compatible friends.  Many artists and crafts 
people are here, many healers.  I always ask people how they came to move 
here.  Almost invariably it is because of odd synchronicities.
 
Work opportunities?  Not many.  It all depends on what you do.  But if you 
feel the need to move to a certain place, it's as if the universe provides 
and things begin to open up.

Connecticut is pretty close minded I find. I'm definitely a weirdo
 
here.

Money is a pseudo reality. The fact that I am born into a situation 
where it is necessary, and the means required to obtain it for the 
most part, inhibit well-being creates in me a resentful attitude. 
We have boxed ourselves in and made a situation where the support 
for material things has become more important then ourselves. 
Because of this machine we have sacrificed the family unit. Why 
have children if the parents will be away most of the time working? 
What's the point of a family here?
 
> But

I've found a way to work for myself, from 
my home and rake in money. I don't enjoy what I do. It is 
extraordinarily stressful. At least I get paid what I'm worth 
and don't have to answer to someone whom is disrespectful. 
My goal is to earn enough so I can have free time. That is what 
I value. Time to meditate. Free from accumulating money. Time to 
ride a bike. Time to go for walks. Live a contemplative life. A  
simple life. This is my goal.

This is a transitory phase. The one's that look within are 
pioneers. There will be a time for what you speak of. But not this 
lifetime. We can however be a force that prepares for it. At 
present,there 
aren't enough meek to inherit the earth.

No. There is a need to completely restructure the economic system 
so that it serves us and not we it. Until then, we are it's slave. 
Even the so called successful people are slaves. There're not happy. 
They worship a gold cow. There's no peace in that. At least I know 
the cow is a heretic. And if you really think about it, I don't 
do something that I really love for 40+ hours a week, let alone 
something that dampens my spirit.

   Current Triggers of Kundalini Awakening   
 Integration is the subject of this warm and clear presentation by 
 therapist Bragdon: how to incorporate transpersonal experience into a 
 balanced and productive life. The challenge can be overwhelming; 
 experiences of awakening may disrupt our normal functioning in the 
 world, especially if a foundation or "container" of personal and social 
 stability is lacking. Using Wilber's prepersonal-egoic-transpersonal 
 developmental spectrum and Mindell's process-oriented psychotherapy, 
 Bragdon develops a model of spiritual evolution that recognizes the need 
 for both order and transcendence. Illustrated with intriguing case 
 histories, this talk offers helpful assistance on the difficult journey 
 toward a more conscious way of being that is both balanced and awake.

 and emotional environment that nurtures the ongoing, healthy unfolding and 
 continuation of the K experience.  Also, as far as I can tell, the Taoists 
 don't make distinctions between "sexual energy", "life-force energy", "Chi" 
 and "Kundalini".  I'm curious about what others know of the similarities 
 and differences between/among these terms and the realities they describe.

Bonnie Greenwell, Ph.D. 
   Energies Of Transformation : A guide to the Kundalini Process  
    
   Assessing and Integrating Kundalini Process: A Clinical Perspective  
 In this "pragmatic workshop", therapist Greenwell, author of Energies of 
 Transformation: A Guide to the Kundalini Process, offers suggestions on 
 how to identify the kundalini awakening experience and help people move 
 through its processes. Although no two experiences are alike, Greenwell 
 describes seven characteristics frequently present and suggests ways of 
 assisting in the often chaotic and lengthy process of moving through the 
 awakening. A clear and informative discussion.  
    
   Kundalini: Chaos or Completion?  
 Therapist Greenwell offers an in-depth look at the kundalini experience, 
 noted by the ancients yet still little-understood today. Utilizing 
 research for her book The Energies of Transformation, as well as 
 personal experience, Greenwell describes some of the most common 
 characteristics of kundalini awakening and offers basic guidelines for 
 assisting the process in oneself and others. Spirituality is intimately 
 connected to bodily energies, says Greenwell, and in the proper context 
 these energies can lead to a lifetime of personal development.
 
Christina Grof 
   The Stormy Search for the Self  
 A good overview of the phenomenon of spiritual emergence: What is it? 
 What sort of events typically trigger it? How is it different from 
 mental illness? What are the best strategies for working with it? 
 Christina Grof shares her difficult experience and describes other case 
 histories to illustrate stages in the process of emergence to a higher 
 level of awareness. The often disturbing symptoms of spiritual emergence 
 are really a pathway to greater wholeness and authentic existence. This 
 new understanding welcomes emergence as guide and teacher and recognizes 
 it as a common experience, to be worked with as a path to greater 
 freedom and well-being when its emergent energies are allowed to lead 
 the transformation.

 It can be terrifying when all familiar levels of experience are  
 broken through but if the process is allowed to unfold it can be  
 healing and transforming - moving the person to higher levels of  
 awareness and integration.  Hood's careful study of spiritual  
 emergency discusses precipitating causes, stages of the process  
 and the recovery that can occur with complete surrender.

   Types of Spiritual Emergency 
 Prevatt, former director of the Spiritual Emergence Network,  
 presents her typology of ten categories of spiritual emergence.  
 From kundalini awakening and shamanic crisis to near-death  
 experiences and encounters with UFO's Prevatt outlines a vast  
 and mysterious field of profoundly transformative non-ordinary  
 experiences. Prevatt shares her own dramatic experiences and  
 encourages openness in the presence of these unfamiliar visitations  
 for they come, she says, to heal and teach and awaken. With courage  
 and trust in Mother Shakti these remarkable journeys can be an 
 extraordinarily valuable adventure.

Claudio Naranjo, M.D. 
   The Kundalini Process and the Hero's Journey  
 The kundalini phenomenon is really inseparable from the process  
 of human development says psychiatrist Naranjo and he illustrates  
 his view through archetype and myth, the deep levels where  
 transformation takes place. Tales such as the Iliad and the Odyssey,  
 the legends of Osiris and the plumed serpent Quetzalcoatl speak of  
 voyage and return, descent to the depths and return with treasure. 
 Contact with this deep energy sets the stage for a new body and 
 consciousness, bringing darkness into light, freeing the dragon of our 
 being. A wide-ranging presentation blending myth with biology for a new 
 understanding of the meaning of emergence.

Max Schupbach, Ph.D. 
   Cataclysmic Energy Behind Bodily Symptoms  
 A warm and witty presentation by Swiss psychologist Schupbach. Working 
 in the process-oriented therapy of Arnold Mindell, Schupbach stresses 
 the wisdom of bodily symptoms. Unpredictable as they may be, symptoms 
 are really a developmental process seeking expression. We should trust 
 the symptoms and in their own way they will lead us to heightened states 
 of being. Surrendering to the symptoms is the path to expanded identity, 
 beyond the limits of the rational mind. Schupbach's portrait of this 
 intelligent universal energy seeking expression is fascinating and 
 compelling.
 
  
Stuart Sovatsky, Ph.D. 
   Energetic Transmutations in the Kundalini Process  
 In this thoughtful presentation Sovatsky, director of the Kundalini 
 Clinic, offers a tantric yoga for our time. Going deeply into emotion 
 permits reunion with the ground of our existence. Feeling is really the 
 power of reality emerging through us, whether in joy or pain. Faithfully 
 opening to our experience, it becomes universal energy, deepening our 
 being with its radiant truth. Sovatsky discusses yogic techniques of 
 chant and breathing, and powerfully demonstrates what a kundalini 
 emergence is like.

How many Gods there are in this universe ? How many universes are there ? 
 
In the path of finding knowledge, the way is to look at a particular phenomenon  
and try and generalise and categorise it into a bigger scheme of things. Like  
the  
falling apple is one incidence of the universal phenomenon of gravity. 
 
In a similar manner, if we begin to group everything into larger groups,  
ultimately  
we will come to living things, and non-living things and space. These three can  
also now be grouped into one common Reality, that is Existence. This Existence 
is Infinite and Omnipresent and cannot be denied. There can be only one such  
Infinity in the Universe, because existence of two different infinities is  
illogical.
 
This Infinite Omnipresent One is God, and that is one and only one. This  
Infinite is  
manifest within each of us as our pure consciousness. This consciousness that  
you exist cannot be denied, but you know that you exist. This consciousness is  
as fundamental as existence. You may be Jewish, or Christian, or Hindu or a  
Buddhist, your consciousness of your own existence is Universal and Infinite.
 
So, time to awaken ourselves from our little limited view of ourselves as a  
little 
Jew of a little Christian or a small little tribal chief. We are the Infinite  
and we are  
the pure spirit. Christ touches everyone because everyone of us Exist. 
 
>From London you travel Eastwards to go to France, and from Italy you travel  
west. Directions entirely opposite.... so what ? You reach France anyway.
 
To reach the Infinite we may  travel the Christian way, the Hindu way, the  
Buddhist way, the Jewish way, ....  so what ? You will reach the goal anyway.
 
Cheers and love to all 
Ashanka
