Beyond the physical, I feel that there is one attribute that gives humans
a special capacity for growth - willful awareness. I feel that spiritual
growth is perhaps the willful expansion of awareness. It takes a special
kind of (non)effort to accomplish this expansion. As you say, it is the
process of unlearning. We have learned limits to our awareness and in
order for awareness to expand, we must unlearn them or remember them as
the arbitrary boundaries that they are.>>

Morning Zympht & All...

I guess a more appropriate way of saying automatically is that I am being
led on what to do and when to do it -- like you said, a willful expansion
of awareness. Most likely I am hearing a clearer voice than before -
not sure about this (apparently THAT voice isn't that clear). More of a
knowing than a voice. (heart chakra??)

Agreed!

I agree on this too. It is an active pursuit. Use it or lose it, is the
old saying. Don't know if that applies to spirituality, as that is
something that is always there (altho sometimes quite hidden). It may
expand your intellect, which is important in itself. We can always
learn from others if our mind is open to it. Removing the blocks to
love's awareness (the unlearning process) to see what is already there,
is much easier - nothing to learn then.
  
<< I feel that some effort is helpful and >perhaps>accelerates the
process (why is acceleration a goal?).>>

I think moreso than it accelerates the process, is that it brings
awareness to the forefront. I used to see acceleration as a goal, but
found it wasn't right for me. Acceleration to me meaning, a lot like a
car accelerating - you step on the gas pedal to get where you are going
quicker. I kept hitting potholes, getting stopped for speeding tickets,
getting in accidents, LOL.... A lousy driver, I was!

A much easier and enjoyable way is to be the passenger with a good safe
driver (if I am unable to drive myself without accelerating). You'll
get to the same destination, but without all the accidents, speeding
tickets and wear and tear on your car. Maybe even get there sooner, as
I'm not stopped to heal from the accidents and have to have major or
minor work done on my car. This way also, I can also enjoy the scenery
and the ride, plus have good company on the way.

  As you know, >examples>of expanded awareness can be found in books from
all over the world. >These>can be quite inspiring and may open new doors
and directions for your >own>expansion. And some form of exercise is
indispensable, if only as a
>re-affirmation of the will to expand. Pop!

And if it appeals to me, I'll do it. It's just another path to take, a
sideroad, a scenic route. I'm in no rush to get to my destination as
before.

You said that beautifully. I didn't mean that I was *working on* the
perfect body, if that is what you meant -- Still comparing it to an
automobile, I meant moreso that I was getting tuneups, engine work,
etc.... getting my car/body at least in workable order. I don't know
what it needs at this point -- maybe just a tuneup, a major overhaul, a
good haircut LOL, whatever. I do know that I want to be able to drive
it anywhere I choose to, but have to get it working a bit better first to
do that. Being I don't know how to do that, I have the best mechanic I
can find working with me on it, teaching me, showing me the way.

There is beauty in all things - Perfection in the imperfect. What is
that saying though..... God grant me the ability to change the things I
can, and to accept the things I cannot. I thought I could change the
things in my life, but found I couldn't - it was obvious that they WERE
changeable. I just couldn't do it tho. So I had to accept that I could
not. I thought that meant to accept it and live with it. But what I
discovered was that now I'm not changing it, but it is being changed for
me, in a way that I would never be able to do it before. Interesting -
like I said -- just going along for the ride. There is action on my
part, but it is action I was unable to do previously. That came with
acceptance.

>I enjoyed your web site! Lots of interesting links.

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but I have seen people using both Namaste
and Mangalum as sign-offs for their posts, the latter only once. I have
heard "mangalum" (don't know if that is the correct spelling) in chants but
don't know what it means. I remember hearing that Namaste means "The God in
me salutes the God in you", but I'm not sure if that is right.

So my questions for any Indian experts on the list -
What do these words mean?
Are they Sanskrit or what?
When is it appropriate to use one or the other?

Thanks,
David

Hi Sue,

Just wanted to share this:

I have as a 'target' in meditation a "Transcendence Point", a place or focus
in consciousness that lies precisely between my inner self and the outer world.
  
There, when I strike a perfect balance, is an opening into the Realm of Joy.

Everyone has a ray of light he or she is most attuned to and work
through, so this ray is the primary ray and you have minor rays that you
pick up light from, that is likely what your referring to. There are
seven rays which deal with different harmonics persay, each individual
relates to God through a primary light ray made from the first three and
two secondary which makes up his or her major key. A major key is a 1st
3rd and 5th in music, so in order to integrate yourself and build higher
bodies of light you build a whole key to play your life through, you go
on from there to seventh and even nineths which are beyond this state.

  I agree with you. The energy is all One, tho it is colored by different
paths.. which are perceptible to us, only.. beyond time and space, the idea
of "pathways" tends to fall down illogical. We percieve the energy as
different, as we compare a car battery and lightning as different.. there's
that lightening metaphor, again.. but it is all electricity.

  Put "Serpent" and "Apple" in the similar roles of "Prometheus" and
"Kundalini", and we have yet another, similar myth.. the "effects" of the
apple and the effects of K. have some similarities.. fiery red apple root
chakra growing on the "tree of life", Serpents winding round the cadeceus..

  Give the apple back to God-dess: shoot the K. fire up out the crown
chakra to higher self, feel the sunlight spirit love flowing back down in
response, right down thru me and into the Earth Mother.. she sends love
flowing back to the apple in response, to the tree of life that is me.. up
thru the heart and outward, upward to higher self..the circuit is eternal
and ever building. Awareness of the circuts flowing, is being "grounded". A
good mental spiritual connected state to live in. The tree, nourished by
earth and sun both.

  The circut, tho soothing and nuturing, is an illusion.. energy going from
"here to there and back" falls down when outside space-time, there is no
here or there, only here. The endless moment.
  The primal energy of creation shapes itself into all that is, that we
percieve.. we label it this and that.. but that does not change the
underlying truth that All is One, and One is All. Perceptions. Illusion.
  I live within space-time, mostly, tho.. so the curcuit of energy is a
goodness.
 Blessings, Mystress.

  If one knows, as we do, that "good deeds" are beneficial to our spiritual
growth, acting on that information is in our own best interests.. and
therefore self-serving. ..no other way to slice it. and so what?
  Of course, the impulse comes from Goddess.. we are wired to be motivated
by fear and desire.
  Any way you slice it, either you are acting with love for yourself, Diety
and others, or you are not. If you are not, then you are being self-
destructive, other-destructive, and will reap what is sown.
  Choosing not to do this, to act in love, is acting in one's own self
interest. This is unaviodable, and is as it should be.. Goddess rewards
acts of Kindness.
  Every religion tells that we gain by being good to others. This is a
cosmic promise that we base our actions on, why pretend it isn't?? Who are
you fooling?

  Win-win situations are most effective and harmonious... It almost seems
that someone is advocating a Win/lose scenario with the loser being a
complete martyr .. I cannot see that being more effective than seeking for
all to benefit from any interaction. Even if the benefit on one side, is
the pleasure of serving God-dess.
  Why is there this idea, also, that impulses to charity are holier than
impulses to care for oneself? If inside is outside, caring for yourself and
your own happiness, is important to being able to care well for others,
with out one's own needs interfering so.. one must care for our own
strength and happiness, if we want to have happiness to share.. we must
love ourselves, before we can love another. Charity begins at home.

  It is as foolish as the Mother who works herself to death, 'selflessly'
caring for her children. If she spends some priority caring for herself,
her children would still have a Mother..
  Giving and giving without getting anything back, leads to resentment and
burnout. Not a very holy state.. even Christ got a foot massauge, and a
nice palm leaf donkey ride parade.. and was way grateful for both.
  Kundalini sure makes my feet sore, sometimes.. super intense tingles
almost hurt. Somebody gives me a foot massague, they get my gatitude, too..
and a hefty dose of K. fire from my feet!! If they are foot fetishists,
there is a whole other bonus they are getting, as well. ;) By seeking out a
massueuse who will benefit, win-win from the activity, I get my feet
massauged more often, which in turn, means clearer energy for shaktizap
elsewhere healing others. Round and round it goes..
  To my mind, win/win charity, is a rocketship awareness of the
interconnectedness of all things. It is also kinder.. nobody likes to get
"Charity", and a "Barter", however appearing inequal, (I did it all to see
you smiling) is more supportive of the self-esteem of those in need. No-one
likes to feel indebted..
  IMHO, being honest with yourself, and others about what you are getting
in exchange for your "charity", is supporting the self esteem of those
recieving, by absolving them of a sense of indebtedness. Even if the return
on your gift is as intangible as a smile, or spiritual joy.
 Blessings, Mystress.

I presume we're all writing from our experience here but 1) I feel my
experience is only one leg of the tripod - the others being direction from
(more) realized teachers and from the classical literature. So were I to
draw only on my own experience I would say that the rising of the kundalini
- obliterating my identity at the heart and leading me to a complete sense
of universal unity at the crown was a far more profound experience
(albeit temporary)than the blissful drip of the holy spirit from above.
Moreover I would find a complete support for my assessment of the
experience from recent contemporary teachers of kundalini yoga as well as
in the classical literature such as Hatha Yoga Pradipika. However 2), my
encyclopediac nature runs so deep that I am not content with this
understanding alone. I want to understand everyone's perspective -
Christian Charismatics, Taoists, Qi Gong pracititioners, Tibetan Tantrists
and try to integrate all of these. Each of these traditions has a different
depiction of energy flow and places a somewhat different emphasis on the
final destination of the flow.

This is another important myth - but I think it has a different meaning. I
think this myth is similar to another myth: Spirit beings were attracted by
tastes here on earth. They consumed more and more until they finally
materialized. Once they materialized they forgot their spirit nature. I
think of the Genesis myth as describing a being that was completely
immersed in god/dess-hood and got coaxed into experiencing the lower
cakras. The lower cakras caused a self-awareness but also created a sense
of duality.
> Give the apple back to God-dess:

if only Genesis actually said this!

Maybe we can inventory the energy movements:
Focus on kundalini awakened in the lower cakras - some varieties of paganism
Focus on the kundalini rising to the crown -``kundalini yoga''
Focus on the descent of the white energy to the heart- ``Charismatic
christianity''
Focus on the union of the white and red(kundalini) energy at the heart -
Chinese alchemy, Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, western Alchemy
Cycle of red energy to the crown and then the white energy down - Chinese
alchemy - Indo-Tibetan Buddhism

Any others? I've thought about writing a FAQ-like description of each of
these. Any interest out there?

That sounds just right. From fullness to fullness as the Upanishads say.
But I too live within the states of transition.

Hello David,
The words Namaste and Mangalam or Mangalum. (Spelling in English may
differ).
The Sanskrit original for Namaste is Namaste Ashtu meaning the Divine in
me salutes the Divine in you. Coloquially it also means I bow to you.
The South Indian version of this sanskrit word is Namsakaram.
The South Indian Languages are different from the Sanskrit Mother
language so to speak, of which all the North Indian languages are the
children,not illegitimate though. But all South Indian languages have
similar words with slightly different spelling (ie: sound)which are
derivatives from the Sankrit.
In Sanskrit the root word for "keep well" in english is Mangal.
For purposes of poetical rhymes the same word is used as Mangalam.
The mangal actually goes beyond the feeling of keeping weel alone. It
has an affinity to be expressed from the heart as in " Sincerely wish
you all the best, or sincerely wish you keep well. It is very difficult
to ewxpress the real feeling of Mangal or Mangalam in words.
Hope this gives more light to your question.

In Love, Life & Light,

Indra
