Dear Ron,
 
you wrote (and asked some really good questions!): 
>Is having a compassionate and loving heart a factor leading  
>to kundalini, a result of kundalini or just coincidentally?
 
I would say that it is because the movement onto a spiritual  
path of awakening requires that one look within and the action  
of the kundalini is to open and clear the blocks within each  
chakra.  As we do our own personal, inner work, so does it shift  
the dynamics of how we relate to others.  And that ripple effect 
is what can change the world.
 
>all their "rules of behavior" from some book (e.g., the Bible, the 
>Koran, etc.).  I'm compelled to seek truth on my own.  
 
A wise observation.  The only real ethics in my estimation is that 
which can be weighed through the heart.  The writings can offer  
valuable suggestions... or guidelines... but the real test of  
one's actions must come from within.  The externalization of a  
"code of ethics" is generally based upon that which has worked 
for many others, and often contains much valuable insight which 
can serve as a tool.  However the danger comes when one gives up 
their own personal power, including the power of choice, to something 
which is external to their own inner guidance.  The writings serve  
as a guide for those who have not yet awakened to their own inner 
truth, and the danger lies in placing one's eggs in an external 
basket and then forgetting that the truth emanates from within...

All paths are relative AND there is only one path ;) 
Another really good question. 
For me the compass lies within.  This does not exclude my utilizing 
external resources.  And it doesn't mean I run red lights. What it 
means is that I am guided by listening to my own inner wisdom... 
that still, small voice within.  The inner guidance which is based 
upon evaluating both the inner and the outer dynamics and then 
intuitively "making a choice". 
 
How do I know when I am on the path? 
I would say there is a harmony which envelops one... 
a flow which can be felt.  Following the Tao is not something 
which can be done blindly, but is something which requires 
that one give as well as take.  The ebb and flow of existence 
and the consciousness of choosing action based on harmony. 
These are some of the factors which lead me to follow my path.
 
Thanks Ron for opening up this line of thought...
 
In light (and from the heart), 
ori^

I have played with these thought too and reached similar conclusions.  In 
constantly creating one is constantly learning, right?  If it's not new and 
doesn't require original thought, etc.  it's not really creating, right? 
So, there will always be learning along with the creating.  
 
Then, I have also decided that the lesson is always: you can do it if you

Ron I wouldn't say good and evil are relative terms at all. You must 
obtain knowledge of good and evil to enter deeply into union with God. 
You also must obtain detachment so that you understand how you 
participate in creating on this plane what is called evil or negative 
experience. Now, what I say is this. Evil doesn't exist except through 
human experience since it is human creation, so in higher planes it 
doesn't exist because it is illusion. HOWEVER, evil on this plane does 
exist, it is directly related to thought, belief, and emotion. 
Therefore, you don't get into higher places until you learn what you do 
without knowing what it is you do. This practice of undisciplined 
creation goes on everyday...when people are creating through thoughts, 
emotions and are manipulating, projecting, creating...this produces what 
we experience as negative energy and the illusion of evil. 
  
Since people deny evil, it is easy to see why it is that it continues. 
It is important to learn to observe yourself without attachment so that 
you see exactly what you think and feel and project, so in this. You 
have the ability to neutralize all emotion, thought and therefore 
projections that come from you. Then you change who you are, the 
frequency you work through and the inner knowledge that you have. This 
is the process of ego death...letting go and assuming the place of truth 
which is "your will and not my will be done." This is the moral, ethical 
path, and the only one based on total purity of purpose. Gloria

Dear Gloria:  May I thank you for your wonderful, clear well thought our 
reply to Ron Harrow (RE:  Good & Evil and Kundalini).  I really appreciate 
your post and I really thank you that now I will not feel a need to spend 
four hours composing a reply.  You said it SO well.
 
      If anyone reading this is truly having difficulty with these issues, 
if any one out there is starting to veer towards situational ethics, if 
anyone out there is experiencing difficulty knowing how to conduct oneself 
in the the general area of "moral ethics",  I strongly suggest that you 
start listening to Dr. Laura.  I assure you she will remove some of your 
confusion.  Her work was highlighed recently in a magazine, "What Is 
Enlightenment?" 
 
Enjoy your day.

To Diane Laviolette:  I have been thinking about your question --- how can 
you assist your clients who MAY be undergoing the kundalini syndrome? 
First, I'd like to applaud you for your concern ---- I hope there will come 
a day when ALL practioners of any/all spiritual technologies and therapies 
will feel the concern you have felt and pose the questions you have.  It is 
gratifying to see someone out there who does NOT wish to harm her clients, 
however inadvertently. 
      May I suggest a book?  It is a real "page turner", a really great 
read.  However, it also contains factual information which I believe you 
will find of particular interest.  It is written by a woman who spent 
twenty-five  (yes, 25!!) years researching it.  The title of her book is 
"Seized:  Temporal Lobe Epilepsy as a Medical, Historical and Artistic 
Phenomenon."  The author is Eve LaPlante.  I think you WANT to get ahold of 
this book, 'cuz it will give you some clues on how to differential between 
a spiritual crisis and a medical illness. 
      I am very serious in my recommendation --- and without boring you 
with all the morbid details, I assure you that I had a FULL blown 
no-doubt-about-it-folks kundalini awakening ---- the kind where your 
consciouness explodes into Infinity and you walk around for weeks with a 
500 watt light bulb in your head.   
My personal favorite current kundalini books  are "A Farther Shore" 
and "Energies of Transformation" --- I think you'd enjoy both these works 
---- and frankly, I seriously encourage you to learn all you can about 
kuindalini for YOU, yourself !!  Why?  Because I suspect your concern and 
compassion is evident of this energy stirring in you.  Besides, did you 
know that if you hang out with full blown kundalini cases, you can "catch" 
it?  Yep.  Take a looksee at Muktananda's wonderful autobiograhy.  Diane 
--- your clients COULD be contagious!  Good luck to you.   :)

the beads, they are in my left hand. i sit on a purple moon-cushion that 
helps push my lower back inward. 
 
Between my hands there is almost always a palpable energy swirling around. 
Right hand under left shifts the focus of consciousness inward, left 
shifts it outward. Once in meditation i had a vision of a lotus blooming 
underneath me and this swirl of energy extended outward straight from my 
body to everywhere. 
 
My spine is held yoga-straight, head slightly slightly forward, eyes 
barely open. 
 
am also an il-dan black belt myself :). so chi is not a new concept too 
me. style is the hard-hitting striking of taekwondo. Being very energectic

arts opened me up to my own potential. It was quite a shock for my husband 
and i that shy little debora suddenly found her niche and earned the 
respect of her fellow and sister students and came into her own power so 
to speak. Disarming the shy warrior princess by empowering her. 
 
my goal tho, is not to be the perfect warrior, buddhist vows take 
precedence, and i consider myself peaceful. But the MA definitly had a 
major role in the transformation.

I have just joined this list, and I have a question.  My kundalini has been 
awake for about 9 years as a result of practices such as meditation, yoga 
postures and bodywork.  I am not affiliated with a guru or teacher, so I am 
working alone. For most of this time the kundalini has not been a problem, 
but right now it is extremely heavy.  I am experiencing spine pain, 
fatique, great heat, an upwelling of fear, and severe insomnia.  The last 
is the most difficult to deal with, since I have a full-time, demanding job 
in higher education.  This has been going on for several weeks, and I could 
sure use a break.  The only idea I have right now is to stop meditating and 
yoga postures for awhile to see if the energy will subside.
 
Does this seem like a good strategy, and does anyone have any other 
suggestions for me?

Surely its not to neutralise the emotion...  I believe that we have to 
embrace all our emotions, accepting them as part of ourselves and thus not 
having the necessity to project the undesirable ones out on other people. 
Within us we are all people...  all people out there are reflections of 
some part of ourselves! 
Once we have accepted the disowned parts then we can act through true 
choice rather than knee-jerk reactions to others.

This is for the person with Crohn's Disease; I'm afraid I did not read 
about it until I read Ruth Trible's post.
 
Two years ago I met a Canadian lady who had had a very debilitating form of 
Crohn's for many years, and was eventually cured (before I met her) by 
means of a form of spiritual healing called "linking", which her husband 
now practices. 
 
At any rate, and for your information, if anyone wishes further input, 
please email me privately and I'll try to get her permission to pass the 
info on, so she can inform you personally.

Hello Ron,
 
Where there integrity and inertia, for me there is a need of a ethical 
code to act in some harmony. Humanity is the last centuries, build the 
individual, it needed an ethical code to act in society, in the process. 
Now we have the rights of man, etc., not yet fully implemented I must 
say, but the idea is still well based in human consciousness. The next 
step for us, I think, is reintegrating individual consciousness to the 
humanity consciousness. It's up yo us to find this path. After that 
humanity will be able to jump to a cosmic consciousness, and then, 
after, fully grab, in this world the consciousness of God.
 
When we had no technologies, the code of ethic was very different than 
today, where you can kill from a distance, with a gun, without feeling 
the blood poor on you. When some will be able to kill just by looking at 
someone else an another kind of ethics will have to come out. On what 
will it be based, I don't know, but respect of our new integrity will 
have to be part of it, I think.
 
Before people identified moere to just what was in their body, they 
where apart from the rest of the world, more and more an individual 
comes to feel that meost of what he feels and thinks comes from de 
community, the humanity and other dimensions of life. One is All... In 
the deffinition off integrety we will have to take account off that, as 
we are starting to do with notions like ecologie.

I use my own judgement - maybe that is not quite the politically correct 
word to use on this forum, but right now, I cannot think of a better 
word.  I don't see things so much anymore as good/evil or right/wrong, 
but what is good and right for me (my boundary lines).... I have a hard 
enough time figuring out this for myself to have to worry these days 
about whether someone else is right or wrong or good or bad.  My compass 
then would be, 'does this bring me  joy?'  'is this right for me?'  or 
when faced with a toss-up choice, 'which would be the more valuable, ie. 
helpful, to me and to everyone involved?'  By asking mySelf these 
questions, I will get an answer.  
 
Hey if you cannot trust your own Self by now, who can you trust?  Just 
cause someone else says something is wrong, doesn't make it wrong.  It 
just makes it wrong for them.  Does it feel wrong/evil to you?  Or are 
you hearing *old tapes* of someone else running through your mind?  
 
I was recently speaking to a guy I had just met, and he complimented my 
car and its color.  He said he had a new car also that he had only but a 
few months, and then in a complaining voice said 'BUT it is black and I 
just can't stand it!'  He went on bitching about it for around 10 
minutes, and I just looked at him and said, 'who in the world have you 
been talking to that hates the color of your car?'  He looked at me 
dumbfounded like he didn't know what I was talking about.  I asked, 'did 
you buy the car yourself?'  He said yes.  I said, 'and didn't you just 
love everything, including the color, when you picked it out?'  and he 
said yes.  So, again, I asked, 'who is it in your life that does not like 
your car?'  and he replied, 'my girlfriend.'   So I reminded him of how 
much he loved the car when he first got it, and just cause she doesn't 
like it, doesn't make it bad.  It just means that she doesn't like it.  
and that doesn't mean that he doesn't have to like it!  anyways, he got 
it on a whole 'nother level I believe.  Old tapes - bah!  (probably 8 
tracks - get rid of em)
 
<< How do you know when you're on the path and when you're straying from 
it?>>
 
Again, my compass is 'am I happy?'  If not, I take the time to 
contemplate, 'what is the truth here?'  (the truth being the more 
enjoyable path)....  When you discover the truth, the truth will set you 
free!  When you are free! you are happy... (and then the miracles can 
occur) 
 
Remember my posting of a few months past, when I admitted to many a 
things about myself and mainly about giving up the word 'should' and the 
little devil & angel on my shoulders (I kicked them out of my life to the 
best of my ability LOL)?  Well I had contemplated before this posting for 
a couple of days about *having* to go to work when I really didn't want 
to at this time in my life for various reasons.  I was sure I would go 
through my fear to the truth of the matter and come out somehow and be ok 
with having to go back to work.  But something amazing occurred!  What 
truth I came up with after pondering so long was that, I really didn't 
want to go to work!  so simple.  So I faced that truth, and casted my 
cares to my Self/God/Whoever wanted to listen and said, 'here's the truth 
- now its your problem!'  I got up at that time and wrote my silly little 
posting (which brought favorable & unfavorable reviews).  The next day 
after 'casting my cares' and admiting the truth and my posting,  I 
received a letter telling me that my son and I would be financially 
supported via my ex's death benefits, which were totally unexpected!  And 
making a lot more money monthly than I ever could working a full time 
position.  I sat down and cried for most the afternoon.  Some may say it 
was just a coincidence (LOL!)....  The truth really does set you free.  
 
<< Is there a universal ethical path or are all paths relative, and 
what's right and wrong for me is not necessarily the same for you?  >>
 
I think that whatever you think will be true for you.  
 
<<And if the latter is the true situation, then how do we all hold 
together in a civilized society?>>
 
With joy, love, faith, charity, forgiveness, and acceptance.  Those 
ripples go a long way...

Awareness is heat. 
Melt the iron.
 
The mind is like a room full of out of control children. 
You have to find each one, 
And give to them love. 
Until you've found every last one, 
With awareness, 
And then you shall be free.
 
 
Blessings

HI,  
I have heard Dr. Laura, and so often individuals think it doesn't make 
any difference when it comes to moral issues. I have a friend who pretty 
much lived life according to what felt good, to go inside to directly 
relate with God one has very high standards of behavior, and when it 
isn't there the struggle naturally occurs until the realization comes 
in. Those on the spiritual path soon learn you don't get away with 
anything with spirit.   In fact all the commandments are in tact with 
love thy neighbor as thyself being the spiritual law for working out of 
the heart center. That is why self discipline is so important. Gloria
