Hi: 
 
Greetings.
 
I have a quiestion for you wonderful people: Is reincarnation as it`s  
been taught to us or is it just the energy of everything that encarnates  
again and again bbeen us nothing but vehicles for that energy? 
I mean, aren´t we all Jesus, Rimabud, Mozart and Lennon at the same  
time, living again, completeinng the strain? Or do we each other  
reincarnate again and againg to gain experience. I go for the energy  
encarnating in us, and i think we are only vehicles for that energy  
which has a larger plan for us, larger and prettier than we will ever  
imagine.
 
My best wishes for you. Please, respond. 
 
Roberto.  
Lima-Perú.

Ruth,  
 There are many paths and many different methods. For direct experience 
of the Kundalini power, using Shakti mantras and focusing on the 
appropriate centers is sufficient. However, Kundalini need not be 
directly aroused for Self-Realization. For a person who has complete 
devotion in his/her Heart for the Supereme Being, all methods are 
superfluous.

  How To Tell If You're Not Enlightened
 
1. If you post on the kundalini-I list, you are not enlightened.
 
2. If you post on the kundalini-I list often, you are less enlightened still.
 
3. If you lose the goodwill of others with your posts, you are even less 
enlightened. 
 
4. If your post tells other people what it is to not be enlightened and in 
the process cover points 1 through 3, you are the least enlightened of them 
all.

 <snip>
 
I gave up for the most part worrying about which stage I 
was at, primarily because most of the lists of stages I've 
seen were written by people who must have been on a 
different path than me. I might recognize having reached 
stage three, maybe, but stages one and two were totally 
foreign to my experience.
 
It makes sense, though, that this would happen. After 
all, while we are all striving for a similar goal in our 
personal spiritual development, our paths and "filters" 
of belief and background are wildly different. Even our 
current understandings of "enlightenment" will differ - 
I'm sure that my Christian perspective will differ from, 
say, Mystress' pagan perspective in some particulars, 
and both of us a little from Harsh's, etc, etc.
 
It's as if we were all driving from the east coast to the 
west coast, and sharing via radio the landmarks we've 
passed on the journey. Pretty much everybody would 
recognize crossing the Mississippi, but if somebody 
taking I-70 mentioned Pike's Peak, many others would 
wonder why they weren't seeing it too. Heck, some who 
also took I-70 might not see it because they didn't look 
that far south. And someone who reached the end of 
their journey at Big Sur and said "This is what the coast 
looks like" wouldn't be agreed with by someone who 
wound up in Seattle, except that they both see lots of 
water.
 
My own path is based on Fundamentalist Christianity, 
which since it is pretty structured and well-defined you 
would expect to be similarly described by those on it, 
right? Not! Within that "narrow way" is an incredible 
variety of experience. How much more so here, when 
we have so many different religious and philosophical 
traditions represented?
 
This is not to say that I think it is useless to share our 
own experiences with "landmarks" on our paths. I find 
great enjoyment in recognizing similarities between my 
path and others'. And someone who has no idea where 
they are can take encouragement if someone else can 
say "yep, I was there, and this is where I went next - 
that's not the end of the road." My Christian perspective 
leads me to check, not how far I've come in the journey, 
but that I'm still on the right path (I recognize that many 
don't see any one path as "the right one" - here we will 
agree to disagree for the moment - but I think I have a 
different view of my "destination" than many here. As 
many here have a Christian background, and so know 
where I'm coming from, no need to belabor the point.).
 
Anyway, what I was getting to with that last bit was 
that as long as I can be sure I'm heading in the right 
direction, I don't worry about how far I've gotten - no 
matter how far it is, there's always someplace beyond 
that to head for - so I just concentrate on enjoying the 
trip. Like they say in the Nissan commercials:
 
   Life is a journey. Enjoy the ride!
 
- Mike Stickles
 
P.S. - Mystress - While I think you used "stupid" in a 
tongue-in-cheek way, I'll take the opportunity afforded by 
your choice of words to mention one of my favorite 
philosophies - the only truly stupid question is the one 
we never ask anyone else, but use only as a bludgeon 
to beat ourselves up about our ignorance.

Greetings to the list members, 
My name is Sue Hustead and I was initiated by shaktipat on September 26 '97 
by a yogi.  This was an awsome experience for me and seems to be the 
missing link for my own completion.  I live in Grants Pass Oregon and was 
seeking to join a Merkaba group when I encountered the information on 
shaktipat and knew instantly it was what I wanted to do.  I was given 
mantras and breathing techniques and away I went - didn't sleep for two 
weeks as a cleanse ensued.  I meditate every day and attend a group 
meditation twice monthly with the yogi.  I am also in close contact with 
him for support and answers to questions that arise. 
I am 52 years old, have a small organic farm, volunteer my time in the area 
of domestic violence and rape, and have a partner of 12 years. 
I am much more peacefull now, more loving, my body is healing from 
childhood sexual abuse, I am joyfull and content being who and where I am. 
Looking forward to joining the list and posting where appropriate. 
Thank you 
Sue

I like it, Sean. Does posting twice in one day constitute often? I want my 
own position to be quite clear.<g> 
 
More criteria: 
 1. Not fully enlightened: You are still on earth. 
 2. Less enlightened: You are still on earth and don't know why. 
 3. Least enlightened: You are still on earth and think you do know why.
 
Best!

 What's the most strange about all of this is that you would HATE to be called a
 
mystic. If my reading of history serves me correctly, the mystics of the 
Christian 
faith were those who WERE THE MOST DEVOTED SERVANTS OF GOD of 
all who existed within the faith. They loved/love GOD above ALL ELSE; only 
seeking 
to become ONE WITH HIM, like Mother Theresa, serving God's will, before 
even the SELF. So, tell me truly, why is it that you wish to NOT BE ASSOCIATED 
with those who love/loved God above all else.

I won't try to put words in Richard's mouth, but it took me a 
long time before I would use the term "mystic" to describe 
myself, not because I didn't want to be associated with those 
who sought God on a mystic path, but because I was so aware 
of my frailties and failings that I didn't want to presume that I 
could put myself in that category. I saw those mystics as in 
some ways "larger than life." Also, my background was (and 
in many ways still is) very intellectual, so even though I was 
drawn to mystical paths I was afraid of them because I didn't 
want to abandon my intellect (I've since learned that they are 
not mutually exclusive :-).
 
It helped to read quotes and stories from the lives of the mystic 
saints and realize that they were just like me in many ways, 
failing, stumbling, but through it all they kept their eyes on the 
Lord of all and set their hearts to know Him and His love. I did 
not have to reach some rarefied spiritual plain to call myself a 
"mystic"; just pursue God in those ways that are beyond the 
limited reach of pure rationality but make perfect sense to the 
heart and spirit. (An aside here) I especially liked one story 
about Theresa of Avila (at least, I think it was about her - might 
be wrong). Anyway, it was reported that a novice approached 
Theresa and said that it must be wonderful to be like her, to 
be pure and without distractions in her prayers and meditations. 
Theresa gave the novice a disbelieving look and said, "What do 
you think I am - a saint?"
 
Anyway, Richard, I would agree that the Holy Spirit is central 
in your awakening, just as an intuition from the way you 
describe your awakening and yourself. I'd say the Spirit led 
you here to learn - welcome! We're a diverse group - Hindu, 
pagan, various Christian (I'm Protestant Fundamentalist), and 
a lot of philosophies that would probably defy classification - 
but pretty harmonious, and we share many of the same views 
of  our Kundalini experiences despite our different religious and 
philosophical beliefs. This is a good place to learn more about 
what's happened to you and what it can mean, from so many 
points of view that I'm sure you'll find someone who speaks 
from a place similar to yours, that you can relate to.
 
Love in Christ,

Yes and it probably hits you the hardest at this time of the year when 
we really can share our feelings with loved ones. This is natural and 
perhaps by the observing as you go through this holiday, you can really 
pull back and neutralize all of that pain. It then will dissolve and you 
will be free of it. It could be the best Christmas you've ever had if 
you can really just observe without thought, just watch and feel what is 
there, even the pain. Love that you have will go to him on the other 
side and you will feel the connection. Gloria

Dear Mike and Sharon,	 
 It appears what is happening is the mass mind is changing, so along 
with breaking down of one thought form and another, it stands to reason 
that a lot of folks are going to be coming from a whole new awareness. 
This is very much in line with the teachings of the Catholic Church even 
in its movement, nobody can look about at the climate of the world and 
not recognize something bigger then any known dogma or concept is going  
to work now. The evolution of kundalini/Holy Spirit is certainly a major 
force in this change, so that all churches and places of worship will 
find new challenges, new awareness and power. Doesn't this add up to our 
time. Gloria

To the depressed one:
 
Perhaps it is time to step back and observe this from a more neutral 
place, if he was truly your soul mate, even if it was tested it wouldn't 
fold. So, just look at it this way, if this relationship is really 
yours, let it go...if it comes back to you without you doing anything, 
you can be certain that it is founded on the strongest of principles. 
And, there will be nothing that will ever sway either of you again. This 
is the only way to know if it is truly Divine Will. Gloria

God Bless you.....Soul Verounger :>
 
There always is a next level, you know. Your soul - which came here  
for the richest experience,  
not the poorest; the most, not the least - would like you not to rest. 
 And while the choice is  
always yours, your soul would have it that you never become  
complacent or self satisfied,  
and certainly never sink into apathy.
 
For there's too much to change in your world, too much left of  
yourself for you to create. 
Always there's a new mountain to climb, a new frontier to explore, a  
new fear to conquer. 
Always there's a grander place, a larger concept, a greater vision.
 
Namaste' 
Tom

One of the reasons i tend to dismiss the idea of soul mates is because  
of this very thing.   In my perspective, the best "soulmates" 
are those who mirror my deepest wounds to me so i can heal myself.
 
if from the perspective of reincarnation...[if reincarnation is  
valid..who knows...] even if someone loved me enough to play the part of  
tormentorin this life so i may grow to know what it is to extend  
unconditional love and forgiveness to them and myself [and so heal  
myself]...might that be a "true" soul mate?

 and to be honest and open...i am discovering something about the  
concept of twin flames.  if this is happening...i find no  
desparation...no fear of loss...only a sense of completeness and  
peace...and a sense of connecting deeper with the Divine.
 
something about that "redirects the energy" as Holly says...transforms  
it to a higher level...maybe a commuication and connection that is  
Spirit based and...if i/we choose...can come to be earth based also.
 
and yet i cannot wonder...if in myself..if i was truly healed of all my  
wounds...totally vulnerable to the direction and love of Spirit...would  
i not find all people to be my twin flames?
 
Don't  
>be so hard on yourself.  Holly
 
and i can be the hardest of all on myself.  Beating myself in the head  
with a hammer over and over....then stop hitting myself to only start  
again  because it feels so good when i stop again.
 
Blessings, 
Susan

Dear Harsha:  
Thank you so much for this answer. I guess I look to you for some 
information that I have not been able to find in books or among other 
colleagues.  I also loved the simplicity of your answer.  I think even 
uneducated, unschooled folks can reach this state.. without anything as 
exotic as Kundalini awakening. 
It is valuable having your acquaintance.
