Hello all:
 
I posted this a few weeks ago without any response.  I had read a magazine 
which quoted Margo Anand briefly.  She wrote `The Art of Sexual Ecstasy' 
and `The Art of Sexual Magic'.   I am unable at this point to read her 
books.  Have others read them?  Are they a MUST read?  
 
She said "From the Tantric perspective governments are mostly manned by 
politicians who are old, sick, who don't know how to internalize their 
Kundalini.  All that means is that they don't know how to transmute their 
vital power into love, love into creativity, creativity into vision, vision 
into a way of the cosmos and the laws of nature.  He who doesn't know how 
to make these transmutations will externalize his energy as aggression, as 
competition, as the fear of being taken over."
 
After some time to think about this I wonder about the relationship between 
Tao and Kundalini.  This quote above is more about Tao than Kundalini isn't 
it?  But now I wonder if they are the same on some level.  Do people who 
live in the Way always live within K.?
 
My thinking is that they are different.  Tao is natural order as I 
understand it, and life lived within that order.  Maybe..grasping for 
words.  Kundalini is the fire energy which transforms.  Symbiotic, not the 
same.  More correctly: possibly symbiotic, not the same.
 
After rereading I wonder if I've misunderstood her from the start: 
"externalizes his energy"....not K....?
 
My primary interest in this developing a better understanding of the many 
ways Kundalini expresses itself in life.  I'm finding it hard to pinpoint 
what K. is exactly, aside from the energy moving from the base chakra to 
the crown, and making the two, One.  I've had a few friends in the past 
whom, after coming on this list, I realize have had full-blown K. with long 
periods of agony.  One young man even commited suicide.  So, I can 'see' K. 
active people, but it looks different each time.  Wonderfully different I 
might add.
 
I'm reminded of the quote from Richard Bach on somebody's postings, "what 
looks like the end to a caterpillar, is the beginning to a butterfly." 
Perhaps each persons K. experience is more closely related to how each 
fabricates their reality.  I know! but we've got a bunch of K-lites running 
around, everybody pulling their experience (aka reality) into One.  Like 
we're dusting the house or something.  And waiting for the Master: an 
external happening to what a few have already realized.
 
What are we waiting for?  Is reality so plastic?

Sergio, 
Three areas to address. First, Your body and the quality of air you 
breathe... 
Secondly, your mind, attitude about life and openness to it. Thirdly, your 
spirit, i.e. are you doing what you reallly love? Can you hear the beat of 
your own drum, or are you marching to someone else's beat? It is a delicate 
tightrope we must walk in our attempts to open up to our potential. Sometimes 
we try to shut out our own inner voice to do what we think is right and good. 
But if we smother our own creativity, then we will suffer.  Remember, balance 
of body mind and spirit .     Love and Light, the Rose

Like all of you, my spontaneous Kundalini awakening has "woken me up" in 
many ways. In the past few years I have  
: sold all my possessions  
: changed my eating habits to now eat only "live" food 
: focused enormous energy on ego transcendence 
: changed my career path (I was a CEO of a Festival and am now a 
Personal Growth Consultant) 
: stopped watching television, now seldom read newspapers or listen to 
radio 
: found a wonderful partner who is also working with a spontaneous 
Kundalini awakening 
: the list goes on.
 
Having worked with others who are in the throes of  Kundalini, after 
reading Shared Transformations and the many books out there, I have 
evolved my own theory regarding the process. Many many people are having 
difficulty. Some of that is through sheer fear and uncertainty.  
 
The other aspect that I believe is valid in addressing the physical, 
mental, emotional and spiritual problems that arise is the preparedness 
of the individual soul.  We all must grow and with our learning and 
growth comes soul tests that we are continually confronted with.  I 
believe that the journey of the soul from creation ends with the 
reunification with the Source.  As we make this journey from creation 
out into the world and through many lifetimes we are continually tested 
as to our commitment to grow and our desire to go Home.
 
  I believe there are Twelve Major Tests that we face on the road to 
Enlightenment. And enlightenment still is only part way Home.  The 
opening to Kundalini is generally experienced at the Tenth Test.  If 
this energy comes into play before the soul is ready to work with the 
Tenth Test issues, problems will ensue.   For example the Fifth Test is 
where the soul makes the commitment to serve God and the Tests are the 
life experiences that require the changes in their life for this to 
happen. 
 
At this level (the Fifth Test), the ego issues haven't been addressed.  
The issues of material attachment haven't been dealt with. Much of the 
harder spiritual truths haven't presented themselves. The soul is still 
spiritually naive. The energetic blockages, the physical and mental pain 
will occur to push the soul towards accepting the lessons and moving 
forward.
 
Kundalini has shown me the Akashic Records and I read them for others. 
ALL of those people I know experiencing Kundalini have experienced in 
their past some healing, contact or touch from the man who was Jesus.
 
When I have seen this in the Records, I am aware of the transference or 
release of life force energy.  I believe it is somehow important that we 
are experiencing a great emergence of spontaneous Kundalini awakenings. 
2000 years after Jesus. The time is now right and each soul who is 
gifted with this amazing energy has the responsibility to quicken their 
soul growth for whatever purpose is awaiting us.
 
Personal discussion with me regarding the Twelve Tests is welcomed.

YES YES YES!! REALITY IS TOTALLY SILLY PUTTY! 
  Is is a cosmic promise that Goddess will answer all of our prayers. There 
are no restrictions on what we may pray for, outside of the limits we 
create for ourselves, by denying our power.  
  K. is CREATIVE energy that does that. Goddess power is limitless, She can 
create paradox, warp spacetime effortless, to give us the experiences we 
pray for, by our thoughts and beliefs about reality.  
  Check out this idea with your higher self.. Goddess has the power to 
Change the PAST, to grant us the experiences we choose by our beliefs.  
  Miracles happen when we choose BIG, and don't let logic limits interfere 
with faith in Goddess' promises. 
  It is another cosmic promise, that we can be who ever we choose to be.. 
if we can really believe in it.. I can choose to be Serpent, ancient 
lightbeing, second oldest soul, and choose to believe in it, in spite of 
"facts" I know about the illusion of space-time and the unity of all 
things, and the persistence of my prayer manifests the experience of being 
that being, with attendant memories and wisdom.. irregardless of the 
illogic of the experience.  
  Logic is a game ego plays with itself.. it is the weakest aspect of our 
persona.  
  Folks who think that my experience is impossible, are Limiting Goddess, 
in their minds, and so shall have a limited experience of Goddess' power, 
and their own. She has said that She is not limited, and nether are we, 
except as we believe ourselves to be..   
  Of course, a limitless being Goddess can create and manifest completely 
paradoxical realites simultaneously, in response to our requests to 
experience new realities.. why not? Really, why not? Limitless is limitless.  
  K truly is limitless power to create with imagination and faith.  
  Sometimes when I really contemplate all of the millions of devices we use 
to deny our real power, like logic... to deny Goddess limitless generosity, 
I just start to laugh. Laugh or cry.. would you prefer to live your logic, 
or live your most impossible dreams? Choose. Goddess promises to manifest 
whatever you choose. So be it. 
 Unlimited Blessings, SEERpent.

 I can't agree.  Drugs used in the wrong context are disintegrating to 
 the psyche instead of integrating. Cultures which use drugs use them 
 sparingly and in a ritual context. The goal is to join as a group or to 
 join consciousness to a group who already maintains the desired 
 consciousness. 
   bottom line is that in our culture they are illegal. It's not worth 
 the misery that can result from going against the system. And there are 
 legal non-drug alternatives such as Transmission Meditation, Peruvian 
 Whistling Jugs, ot Trance Dancing.

There is a chinese saying that says.. paraphrased.. "If you think you 
know the name of God.. then you do not. To know the name is to know the 
Earth level only." nd I say.. that.. The universal mind, Man cannot 
identify because it is infinite.. Man is finite and physical and can 
only understand things in that context, which imposes the limitations 
and expectations of man.  So we need to reach upward out of our ego and 
illusion (that we call living) and enter the realm of the infinite.. 
Just accepting and trusting..using the abstract then we can feel the 
name of god in the energy that surrounds everything and is everything.

RUTH.. I have as a example.. a chart for Pope John Paul.. his MC and IC 
are getting a direct hit on the Eclipse of the Full Moon on Sept 16th..
 
The full moon eclipse hits on my Chiron and Sun directly.. Chiron and 
Sun in my chart are at absolute.  21 and 20 degrees respectively. I 
understand that this means I am a natural yoga and/or a mystic.. That's 
cool.. grin.  Chiron seems to have something to do with Kundalini 
risiing right?? my first experinece with Chiron was when I was 6.. and 
the chart clearly shows theactual transit of my Kundalini awakening in 
the time frame that it did.. 
interesting how the stars seem to vibrate.. grin.. or maybe we vibrate 
with the rythemsof the stars.

NAC,(N-acetylcysteine). This is the stable and preferred form of the 
amino 
acid cysteine. 400-600mg./day have been proven effective in treating 
chronic bronchitis. I'd try 2 grams,however, a day in divided 
doses.(Perfectly safe).
 
Other antioxidants will be helpful also.

In response to Raja's post about drug use.  This is my opinion... Drugs used 
in the context of spiritual ritual give one a glimpse of what can occur 
naturally. This is what Don Juan did with Carlos Castenada, but only in the 
beginning of the apprenticeship.  Massive doses of most hormones and 
neurotransmitters will eventually desensitize their receptor sites, making 
it imposibble to have the experience naturally.

 These energies are powerful, you mentioned about Pope John Paul also, I 
dream about him at least once or twice a month, he is having a difficult 
time. I saw him when he came to San Francisco and what a beautiful aura 
he has. He can use our love at this time. Gloria

  There is no such thing as no thing. How can there be a speck of nothing? 
It is not nothing, it is a speck. Experiencing the beingness of speckness, 
so Goddess may know herself as a speck.  
  Everything is of one energy.

   So here it is, each of us creating our own conception of what is real, 
and beleiveing in it. Ego speaks of how we are not God, it is the fears and 
limiting belief that keep us separate. Yet we are all of one energy that is 
Goddess experiencing Herself. She does not desire for us to all think 
alike. What for? Less diversity of experience that way. She creates 
everything unique as snowflakes.  
  Dunno why you want to be nothing when Cosmic promise says you are All, 
but have fun at it.  
  To me, you are God pretending to be a speck of nothing lobster..

  Good practice in accepting paradoxes. Unlimiting yer brain.  
  Inside is outside, the future and the past are equally mutable beyond 
space-time, you know lots of them, eh?  
  I remember when, waaay back when you first joined the list, throwing 
paradoxes and contradictions at folks was all you did. Mostly you insisted 
on denying ideas folks claimed as Truth, perhaps only to test their 
convictions.  
  Lately tho it seems more like you are wholly invested in persuading 
others of your convictions. Is this a change for the better? Hmmmm... 
  What I reaaly wonder, is how you can be so very certain my experiences 
are fantasy, when by your own account, you have never had a mystical 
experience of any kind. You have nothing in your own personal experience to 
compare my experiences to. So, of course you think them fantasy. So what?  
  I must conclude that your insistence that you are some kind of expert on 
my reality, that is the delusion. However, I leave you to enjoy your 
delusions without interfering, o wise sage all knowing Lobster who has the 
one and only truth of reality.. :)

Love everything? Sure. Accept everything? Surely not. 
If people gave expression to everything inside of themselves we would 
not be here. The shadow that we all carry is not designed for 
exhaltation but exorcism. Sure Love is exhalted and everything is Love 
but that does not mean we should Love everything. We make choices. We 
become the choices and make new choices. Eventually the choices move us. 
What happens to the shadow as we grow - is it becomes refined. Fantasy 
drops away. We see the underlying good in our experience and so on. Of 
course you Love your fantasy self. The ego is beautiful, seductive. Give 
in she says, I am the Goddess, believe me I am Love. You are funny.

mmm . . . 
As usual Angelique you mistake the metaphorical for the literal. You 
have always assumed that you are of importance. I have always assumed 
that we are nothing of any great important. just a moment, flitting into 
being and departing. I have never denied the worth of each moment and 
each person but I sincerely question those who say 'I am extra special'. 
This is not the way of Spirit. We become special by recognising our 
unique but dependent origination. We come from Goddess. We express her. 
We are her but if we ever believe we are Her . . . 
Pssttt . . . 
Did I ever tell you I was a god - oh right - you to. Nice . . . 
Sometimes we need to go beyond the Power of the Goddess. If your whole 
Being is dependent on Goddess, you will not be able to go beyond. In 
fact you will see this as impossible . . .

Ego also (and more seductively) tells us we are 'cosmic power number 2'. 
Of course I am 'God pretending to be a speck of nothing'. We are 
something, we are nothing. If we have a preference for one or other, we 
are stuck. Our choice.

Perhaps. Some people have moved on. On another list I am trying to 
convince people that God is a kangeroo. 
Sometimes paradox and contradiction is right. Sometimes a loose brain 
and madness is the right expression but if people insist on me or others 
fulfilling a role or always behaving in one way - then it is better they 
think I am a Lobster and you are whatever is your claim of the week.

The mystical experiences I have 'had' are not describable, therefore I 
never do. As for fantasy, I know her well. My conviction is that you are 
deluded. However you are only partially deluded and this is the problem. 
You offer people good advice and truths and they value what you say. You 
then speak twaddle and it devalues what you say. 
Now I offer both and expect people to work out which is which. If they 
can not I may tell them. Luckily for all concerned I am not a 
fantastical construction of my own imagination - nope - I am. 
You see if I say, 'Do not be seduced by your little self for Goddess has 
a Greater Self that is nothing to do with you and is all Her' There is 
truth in that. If I say I know this because I am told it by the spirit 
of a dead kangeroo or I am the Greater Self, then the value is 
diminished. I am mixing truth and fantasy. 
Therefore I claim no Authority. I need none. I expect people to think 
and decide for themself. I guess your position is of the same Authority.

We are all experts Angelique on other peoples reality. Simply because we 
are able to see them with greater objectivity than ourselves. 
I choose to interfere with your reality because you are influencing 
others and claiming it is the work of the Goddess and this is at best a 
partial truth. 
It is only our deep concern for others that makes us worthy of the name 
human. 
That is why I am
 
Lobster (or am I)
