  So then, how does one actually get the "diagnosis" of K.?  Im "assuming" 
that I'm experiencing it because of my symptoms, and because of where I am on 
my path, "spiritually."   But still, one cant be too certain because a silent 
disease could be lurking... Ive had many dx's, and have been extremely ill 
for many years now.  I have severe inflammation in my organs for which I 
sometimes take this horrible Prednisone, and other pain meds.   I dont 
however have any of the joyous or "bliss" moments that so many speak of.  Im 
constantly in a state of "heaviness".  However, Im incredibly reminded of 
Spirit, and my angels on a daily basis, because when I ask for "confirmation" 
I receive it.   
   
   Back to my original question... Who does one speak to for a "Final 
Opinion" on whether or not it's a Kundalini process?    And if there is such 
a person, How would he or she know for sure?    Too many questions.   I dont 
like it.   Im getting sicker as time goes on, and the meds arent working any 
more.   
      Oddly, about a year or two ago, I started to CRAVE Yoga, (I have NEVER 
taken it before in THIS lifetime) so desparately, that my body would twist 
and contort to take on "positions" that I didnt even know about.  All I knew, 
is that it felt REALLY GOOD!   I still dont have the physical strength to 
take an "outside" Yoga class, so I just follow my intuition, and twist my 
body how it prefers.     Then, I open a book, and find the exact position on 
a page!!   I didnt study Yoga.... So how come I "KNOW IT?"       Is that part 
of the process?    Im in love with Yoga.  Very strange. 
       
     I also have an intense craving for "NOTHINGNESS"...  Not to be dead, 
mind you, but for total nothingness.....    no sound, no light, no 
movement... nothing..    So what is that?    My theory is that its a craving 
for God.   Which doesnt necessarily mean a K. experience.   
 
At the same time all of this "craving" is going on... my body(totally 
exhausted) is "RACING" beyond imagination... It feels extremely 
uncomfortable, like Im running 1000 miles an hour, sitting still.   Id rather 
be dead!   This is pure hell and I dont see where the "Enlightenment" part 
comes in...   Why must there be soooooo much pain and torture?    I dont 
understand anymore.   Enough is enough.   Im an extremely compassionate 
person to the point of physical pain...   I serve...  I acknowledge my higher 
self...  I honor myself and every other living thing on this planet...  I 
love... 
  So why?   Why does the pain and exhaustion and lack of sleep EVERY night 
just get worse, year after year?   I havnt been able to work in 7 years. 
  Thats how long Ive been on Disability.  I can do NOTHING for the planet or 
humanity in the condition im in now.   I can barely take a shower and brush 
my teeth.   So someone PLEASE explain to me    WHY?    Is this REALLY 
KUNDALINI? ? ?   Wouldnt I be of greater service on the "Other Side?"    Will 
someone, anyone, PLEASE offer guidance?   
      I would really like to know how YOU all got "diagnosed" with K..... 
Fill me in please....         
 
     Thank you, for hanging in there through this arduous post.  
 
Blessings, Kelly

Angelique's post to Joe made me the happiest I've been in a week.  Yes,  
yes, yes, Joe, look how HUMAN the posts have gotten in the past few  
days.  Hurt feelings, disappointments are harder to bear sometimes than  
outrageous trespass, but, as you know better than anybody, they are  
gold for self-awareness.  Enlightened folk, God bless 'em, get so  
silent and oblique when the knowing takes over.  But it is HERE, in our  
bodies, our kitchens and bedrooms and desires, that we're scrambling to  
do the work.  Heaven help us and you help us, too -- don't leave.

Dear Bliss:
 
I am happy to hear that your boyfriend has a number of wonderful 
qualities. In your earlier post, you were obviously focusing on just 
certain qualities within him.
 
Spiritual compatibility is a major issue, in my perspective. If the one 
you love can't accept your spiritual practice, a few things can happen:  
1. You continue talking about your spiritual topics with your boyfriend 
and he continues to feel unhappy about this. 
2. You stop talking about the spiritual topics with him and find others 
to share with. (This is what I did and it really caused a chasam in my 
relationship.) 
3. You can stuff your spiritual viewpoints to make him happy.
 
I have realized that it's far less painful to choose someone compatible 
in the first place  (especially spiritually!) I know I have in the past 
made compromises because I was "in love." It's far more painful to lose 
yourself and your spirit for a relationship. (Please read Ruth Trimble's 
post  Re: The Kundalini Perspective if you haven't done so already.) 
 
In my 20s, I thought with enough love, I could help someone "see the 
light." (Or the world the way I wanted them to see it.) It just doesn't 
work. People will change their behavior for a while, but if there isn't 
a corresponding inner change, it doesn't last. Furthermore, in 
retrospect, it was incredibly insulting for me to think I had the 
answers to his life.
 
Coincidences are nice. But realize, that you (and he) have a role in 
creating these.
 
If you choose to continue with your relationship, you will at least be 
continuing with your eyes open. I wish you well, dear Bliss.

Hi all! :) 
My name is Tisa and I am new to the list so I thought an intro. would be 
nice. :) 
I discovered the energy inside of me and others about 9 years ago and started 
healing chakras.  Then I had to stop because I collected too many energies 
and once I was open I was lost to all those energies out there! Aghh! :)  I 
tried a few ways to ground myself but I was too young and inexperienced so I 
quit for many years.  I started to learn viniyoga and  I practice that now 
and I am very interested in Kundalini yoga because I know it can help me to 
ground and center myself. :)   
There is so much more to say but I will save it for later. 
btw anyone live in the Seattle area that knows of any good Kundalini 
teachers???? 
mm, 
Tisa

Kundalini awakened through grace. Do a websearch or check the yoga magazines 
for Shaktipat. Have a practice to give your subsequent experiences structure. 
You will need it. You have read all the posts (?).....so search your heart if 
you really want to dothis. It will not be an academic experience. We know 
nothing about you, so we can not judge if you are ready or not. But if you 
are asking, and if you follow through, then it may be time for you.  
People have worked all their lives for this, perhaps for many lives. To have 
your K 
awakened by grace is a profound gift. Your subsequent efforts will be much 
more 
rewarding. You will need to make those efforts to be worthy of the gift you 
have received. You may not be able to walk away from this gift once you have 
received it. 
This gift is worth more than all the dollars you could hope to earn in your 
lifetime. Only by making spiritual progress in order to help others can this 
gift be repaid. 
I decided to receive Shaktipat back in April, and found this list in May. 
Read the postings for 3 months before i went and had my kundalini awakened. 
Never really had any serious doubts.....none that could stand up to the 
alternative anyway, that of not having the kundalini awakened and things 
going on as they were. Growing up with certain ideals and aspirations....and 
having made some progress in those directions....but 25 years gone by and 
being nowhere near the goal. Hmmm....chalk 
it up to mid-life crisis i guess....though if somebody would have dangled 
Shaktipat 
in front of me 25 years ago i would have went for it then. Some on this list 
have asked why would anybody want this? And these are people who have a lot 
more 
experience with it than i do. It is frustrating to have glimpses of the 
truth, and yet for 
it to be so hard to incorperate it into my life. To feel disconected, and to 
lack spontaneity most of the time....yet to have the clearness come and go. 
It is painful 
to watch people i care about suffer and to only be able to help them in 
limited 
ways, if at all.  
The K has been fairly subtle with me....changing my diet, making me very 
aware of 
everything i eat, cutting my alcohol consumption by about 80%, and i'm losing 
weight now (which is good).....bringing deeper qualities to my meditation and 
perceptions....and by timing my breath with mantra repetition, my mood and 
consciousness can be changed within 3 repetitions, or so, into a state of 
mild glowing bliss....dreams are frequently k related.  
Last Friday (9-26), forty days after the K awakening, my wife moved out. As i 
had my 
son with me until i took him to school this morning, the weekend was ok. I 
will have 
him about half the time, and he seemed to get over the worst of it on Friday. 
While 
it will be hard on him (Joe is 8), i think it is better than him growing up 
considering 
what his mother and i had as a "loving relationship" and a model for married 
life. 
My two step-daughters (19 and 11) are with their mother, and it is hard on 
Hannah 
as well, as i have raised her since she was 1 1/2. When i got home from work 
today 
the house was empty. I have not been alone in this house for more than 1/2 a 
day or 
so in the 9 years we have lived here. Lots of waves of emotion hitting me all 
evening. 
Looking into the silence, the pain, the sorrow, the loneliness. I am writing 
this from 
the darkest point since the K awakening. Yet i know i will not linger too 
long here. 
The process of housecleaning that has been ongoing since Shaktipat continues, 
as 
it must. And when the K is through cleaning house, perhaps it will be time to 
learn 
healing, take the way of the Bodhisattva. Tonight tears often fill my eyes, 
but the 
silence is broken by the music of a CD that came in the mail just 
today.....recorded 
in 1945....Bidu Sayao singing....Villa-Lobos "Bachiana Brasilerira 
no.5".....it is so 
beautiful.

Prior to my K awakening (a month or so prior), I saw only this bright deep 
purple light - going from large to small, then large to small, over and over 
again.  A friend later told me that it was the 3rd eye chakra (which may 
explain why I later *saw* so many things).  So when it appeared in my 
meditations, I just concentrated on that.   He also explained that 
concentrating on the one chakra all the time gives an unbalance - that it 
would be better to concentrate on a balance of all the colors, via 
visualization.  Whether that is true, I don't know, but makes sense.
 
Re: the negative vibes from old friends -- and this too shall pass.  I 
remember going thru that - couldn't stand being around them!  Just go with 
the flow, accept them where they are, BUT just as importantly, accept 
yourself where you are right now.  I promise it will pass and you will be 
able to be around them once again with complete acceptance and be able to 
laugh at the negativity.  It'll remind you of a comedian - most of their 
skits are very negative, but soooo funny!

Thank you, David, for your comment. 
Do you realize how many people are in mental institutes or under intensive 
psychiactric care for schizophrenia because they "got rid of their egos?" 
I am serious about this . I have a sense that the cream of the crop , the 
most evolved of our century have been treated as schizophrenics. They are not 
taught the things we have been fortunate enough to learn (by ourselves). They 
were locked up, drugged, their brains zapped, because they were considered 
CRAZY.

 Ouch! Dial it down there, Linda. I have no ego-involvement in *stopping* 
 anyone from doing anything they want with their own minds and bodies, only 
 in trying to educate them (in my own poor fashion) as to what it is they 
 may be choosing. I was *not* the one who suggested the tabasco sauce thing. 
 If remarks such as these did not stop you, that was your decision to freely 
 make. You have chosen to be a warrior. Please elaborate on what that is 
 like for you. Evan needs to know what it is he may be choosing. He may not 
 identify with warriorhood. 
 My intention *was* to be supportive. I apologize for unforseen negative 
 results. Hence my caveat that I was not trying to offend him (or anyone 
 else) or to suggest immaturity on his part. (I live in a glass house, so 
 try scrupulously to avoid throwing stones!) I did not *intend* to add to 
 anyone's fear. I only felt the need to caution. 
 I wish someone would have tried to caution me when I started searching for 
 answers to questions K. has few answers for. You may have wished someone 
 would have put you on the path *sooner*. So you and I have something in 
 common here, Linda. We are both projecting ourselves onto another person 
 whom neither of us know too well. 
 Perhaps we both made incorrect assumptions. I am more than willing to 
 consider the possiblity that I certainly did. 
 There was once a point in my life that thought I was "ready" (Whatever that 
 means. How many of us were truly ready for this... Anyone?). I was wrong. I 
 did *not* understand, and no one gave me a clue. I had to stumble my way 
 through it. It is only now, *many* years later, that I am putting a few of 
 the pieces together. If someone else wants to give Evan what he asks for, 
 that will be their decision and their responsibility, and their (vastly 
 greater than my own) expertise. I can only give my own opinion, woefully 
 imperfect and highly personal as it certainly is. 
 Your opinion is also important. Thank you for voicing it. Now Evan has a 
 few different perspectives to choose from. This is a *good* thing.

Dear ducking and dodging amckeon, 
Actually I was refering to several other posts who were decidedly, shall I 
say discouraging?, to our dear Evan. ( Actually his post was several days ago 
and he has not posted since)  Perhaps we are talking to ourselves?    
Frankly, your haste to cover you non-ego involvement caught my interest. But 
most importamntly, you asked for something. You wanted me to elaborate about 
what it is to be a warrior. I would be glad to elaborate if you are truly 
interested, however I am not given to preaching. What do you want to know?

I had received Joe's posting , I think about 4 days ago, and I sent an 
e-mail to him supporting and encouraging him to stay on , for I believe 
a lot of people will gain a lot from the list. But I did ask him to make 
the choice. 
Now Angelique and yourself have sent him similar encouraging notes. 
I hope he sees the light. 
Thank you Angelique and Holly for your good work.

I have had a very toxic week (I mean of the chemical kind, really.  Long 
weird story I'll tell later maybe.) and so was distressed when during a 
routine teeth cleaning this pm I kept seeing a neon lime circle surrounded 
by magenta rays.  This post makes me feel better about it.  I do want my

It's a very interesting perpective...
 
As your K flow becomes bigguer, these persons will affect you less.

I would say cosmic energy is of a higher frequency and clear light is 
very powerful, kundalini on the individual level is not as intense even 
though it may seem so since it is working with matter in the body, but 
still it is evolution. The universal energy is directly from godhead and 
therefore very powerful. One is better and another less so, one has one 
job the other another. Kundalini is connected to the universal in that 
it is a step in the process. Gloria

Actually I didn't write that, someone suggested to me we talk about the 
next kundalini convention with the research center. That is a 
possability. Gloria
