Gloria: 
 Thanks for sharing this, I'm sending it on to the lists so that people 
will understand where you are coming from with the question we posed. 
And perhaps something will come through the discussion to help clarify 
this.

Debora dear, you big hearted and lovely person, I liked the health, vital 
energy, and flexibility of my younger years.  Never did have enough 
flexibility in knees and hips to get into a full lotus position.  Also, my 
left leg being 3/4 inch shorter than right leg, steady long distance running 
was difficult.  But I could alternate sprinting, jogging, and walking for five 
miles.  I could get up at 5:00 am, do calisthenics, run up a hill in Vermont, 
and be doing yoga exercises on top of a granite boulder when the sun came up, 
with the Winooski River Valley still hidden beneath a blanket of fog.  That 
was wonderful.  For several years, arthritis (in knees and neck) has been a 
problem.  Since having knee surgery last spring to correct a crippling tendon 
problem, I am able to walk several miles at a time without much pain, but the 
pleasure of a good run is gone.  Swimming is my favorite exercise, but it's 
not convenient.  My spiritual life was seriously compromised in my youth by my 
lack of self-control sexually, and now I don't know whether I am any wiser or 
whether it's just that the old grey stallion ain't what he used to be, ain't 
what he used to be, many long years ago.  It's hard to tell though because my 
head is still covered with thick brown wavy hair, and my four sisters are 
jealous.
 
Until March 1979, when I met Yvonne Kason at the Kundalini Research Institute 
in Toronto a few days before her near death experience in a plane crash (which 
I experienced along with her in the spirit), I never dared discuss my 
kundalini experiences with anyone, and even my own knowledge and memory of 
kundalini phenomena was largely suppressed.  No, I didn't like it the way it 
was: I suffered much abuse and persecution for many years due to ignorance of 
and hostililty towards kundalini phenomena; I yearned all my life for the 
freedom, openness, and flow of information from diverse perspectives that we 
are presently enjoying.
 
I was just employing the Stereotype of a Grumpy Old Man to make fun of myself 
and give a little historical perspective on the astounding changes and 
advances of the last few years, and you didn't even notice my grinning Santa 
Claus which I did just for you -- my favorite niece.  Sob.  (Ooops, I better 
be careful here in case somebody on the list was sexually abused by an uncle 
in a Santa Claus suit!)

Personal vocabulary pet peeve - "myth" is another of those 
words which has lost a rather beautiful original meaning 
somewhere along the way (like "fundamentalist", my 
other vocabulary pet peeve). A "myth" originally referred 
to a story which provided part of the shared culture and 
belief of a group or community. The term implied nothing 
about the truth or falsity of the story. As an example, the 
story of George Washington chopping down the cherry 
tree (almost definitely not true), the story of Paul Revere's 
ride (based on a true event, but usually told differently 
from what really happened) and the story of the winter at 
Valley Forge (definitely true) are all American myths (or 
*were* - a sense of shared culture being on the decline). 
I think this is the sense that Campbell (what was his 
first name?) used it in his books and TV shows on myth. 
"American" myths reflect on what Americans think it 
means to be an American, Christian myths on being a 
Christian, etc, etc. Universal myths - those common to 
almost all groups and cultures - reflect on what it means 
to be human.

 Being raised in a Roman Catholic household and attending 
parochial schools had a detrimental affect on me which I have just 
recently come to terms with.
 
 I followed the straight and narrow until, at age eleven  I 
"saw the light" and went my own way which was no-way at all.
 
 In my twenties I hated all religion and blamed much of the 
planet's woes on the fear generated by this world's religions. I saw 
prayer and worship as a crutch used by those closing in on their 
death. A safety valve, just in case.
 
 In my thirties I envied the faithful. I thought, " Hey, there 
are millions out there a lot more intelligent than you. What makes you 
think you have all the answers ?" I came to understand and envy those 
who found their own answer. I still could not reconcile myself to any 
man-made faith and fervently hoped, some day, to find an answer that 
gave me joy and comfort.
 
 Now in my forties I feel on the edge of an awakening. I'm 
beginning to see the " big picture " , the answer that works for me.
 
 We, all of us are GOD. And the project is 
  " under construction ".
 
What it is.

Good afternoon everyone!  ;-)   
 I am just writing this to ramble a bit and see if anyone else has  
encountered this experience.  I have been having serious problems  
staying grounded lately, it feels as if I am only half here...with the  
rest of me floating somewhere else.  Sometimes it gets to the point  
where I have extreme difficulties communicating.  The english someone is  
speaking sounds almost foriegn to me and i have to have them repeat the  
question a couple of times.  Also when I am speaking I have taken on a  
stuttering havit, and it sometimes feels as if the words are stuck in  
the throat.  Nothing will come out.  I am learning to not get frustrated  
over it, but sometimes it is really maddening!  ;-)  This awakening is  
just starting for me, and I am wondering if these are all part of the  
process.  Thanks for any advice or answers ahead of time!
 
Blessed Be- 
danelle

The compassionate but extremely funny Harsha (soon to become somewhat 
controversial because of the following post) can't stay silent on this 
anymore. 
 
Harsha says: Gopi Krishna had a unique Kundalini experience and went 
through powerful psychological traumas but has very little to offer to 
the spiritual aspirant.

But Harsha says clearly that: There is a huge difference between "FULL" 
and "FORCEFUL." An initial Kundalini awakening may be very "Forceful" 
but is rarely "Full." Gopi Krishna did not experience a "Full" Kundalini 
just one aspect of the  Kundalini Power.

Harsha says: The concept of Urdhava-retas predates Gopi Krishna by 
several thousand years. Every advanced student of Yoga knows about it 
and knew about it long before Gopi Krishna came on the scene and started 
his Crusade.

Harsha Says: To my knowledge no one has ever been kept in the dark.These 
terms are part of the common vocabulary of India

Harsha says again: These concepts have been in the public domain of 
thousands of years. Gopi Krishna did not invent them. Gopi Krisha's 
experience was rather limited. The fact that he did not have much 
guidance led him to become a crusader about a phenomena that he felt he 
was uniquely experiencing.

I guess that explains the emergence of the compassionate and musically 
inclined but not musically gifted Harsha.

I remember reading an SF novel  which lead me to some non-fiction 
works by an amatuer anthropoligist. I'm sorry, the names and titles 
escape me at present but the gist of all was based on the Sumerian  
" Epic of Gilgamesh ".
 
The " myth " parts of which are substantiated by anthropology is that 
up until 12,000 years ago all human belief systems were based on the 
female. The " Earth Godess " if you will. Many societies were ruled by 
the matriarch and women were placed above men, revered by the males as 
" life bringers ". And earth godess fertility statues have been dug up 
in all areas of the earth with resident cultures during that time 
period. We didn't hear much of this due to the fact that 99% of 
anthropoligists were male up until around 1950 and therefore biased. 
Since then anthropology has stagnated without any new scientific 
techniques to be used in study and research.
 
Anyway, up until this time the purported theory states that there was 
one universal language which was forgotten when a virus struck 
humankind ( tower of Babel ? ). This virus was supposedly spread by a 
warlike, patriarchal and nomadic tribe that came out of southern 
Siberia called " Gakras " ( not sure of this spelling ).
 
 In the Epic the myth is told as a fable where Gilgamesh's wife 
steals his " revelations " and  throws them into the Tigris river 
where they infect the populations and they split into different 
cultures moving into different areas only to be displaced by other 
tribes retreating against the Gakra invasion.
 
 The author goes on to relate how many of these fables were 
bastardized and adopted by other cultures such as the Cannanites who 
resided in southern Mesopotamia at that time. He then goes on to 
relate these things to the Battle of Jericho, Moses and the Diaspora.
 
 The interesting thing was that he theorized that " speaking in 
tongues " , such as Pentacostals sometimes do when taken by the " 
rapture " was this long forgotten universal language. When we decipher 
this language it will reveal many of lifes mysteries.
 
 If anything it was a good read. Now if only I could remember 
the titles..........................
 
What it is.

Hi GS Donne:  I am so glad you picked up this thread about who is this GOD 
Jehovah.. for I have expressed my thoughts on it and feared 
retributions... but it seems that many feel this too... a step in the 
right direction... shoot down the sacred cows.   
 
 You say>They are 
still claiming 'The Promised Land", obeying an ancient Jehovah, but using 
guns and missiles instead of swords.  
>> 
Sort of like the Nazis....More like Dark Lords (Darth Vadar) than a God of 
Light..
 
>>  Then along comes Jesus with his 'love thy ememies', 'In so much 
asyou have done this to the least of my creatures you have done so to me', 
"God is love" (or was that from the 60's?),etc.  All in total contrast to 
the fire and brimstone vengefulness of the 'smite them hip and thigh' 
Father God. >>
 
VERY good.. you see this beautiful contrast too.. and is this father Jesus 
speaks of the same as we are told is the Jehovah?  I wonder... Jehovah 
looks to be an oppressive punitive and uncompassionate being who is always 
RIGHT!  How does this fit with your idea of the K. energy that streaks 
through your body.. and the glimpses of the higher states of samadhi that 
you have xperienced?  Does not match up for me!   
I see Jesus as a great sword cutting through all the mental, traditional 
mind control of the Dark Lords that created the nuclear holocaust on earth 
some time around 12,000... according to Sitchin.  He is a highly advanced 
being beyond all this pettiness and booming voices etc.  I would venture 
to say that the Jehovah is a 4th dimensional being and Jesus a 12th 
dimensional one..  quite a bit difference and probably the reason I could 
never read the Old Testament without feeling ill. I could only ever read 
the New Testament.   
I am pretty  sure that Jesus was here to herald a new era for man.. and 
the 2000 years since his arrival are the incubation period for man to 
become the Christ conscious being that he should have been all along.. I 
read something profound this week that I will post at my web site perhaps 
as it is very long.. that outlines the nuclear war that put us all back 
into a very low frequency and did in our DNA.... it looked for a while in 
the 50's as if this were going to happen again, and hence that influx 
energy in the 60's to change this direction. 
>>> 
 Classic Freudian senario, ("Totem and Taboo") of the Son 
taking over the power from the aging father. Except that the father 
happens to be God. Or is He?? >>> 
If only more people were asking these questions... 
    
     How do the pple who believe that every word in the bible comes 
from God, and therefore must be right and true, reconcile these apparant 
contrasts in the nature and behaviour of God??  
>>>
 
I know becuase I have been there in that state.. and it is only since the 
K. and the light energy coursing through my brain and de-conditioning me 
that I have been able to ask and seek these ideas for myself.  I have just 
read a lot and kept on seeking... It was not a direct nor a timely path, 
but took years.  I think of myself as a pioneer in coming through the 
veils and it is hoped that like the 100th monkey, the journey I hve taken 
and others are taking and others who knew this all along (lucky they) will 
create an environment where one day there will be a paradigm shift and the 
whole culture will have understood that Jehovah is not THE divine that we 
have been taught... and every one will just get it - snap!  
 
Halleluyah ... they will say..."I am that divine being which I seek."  It 
won't be long in my opinion... and goodbye to fear and oppression, and 
domination and tyranny.

Love allows freedom. Drop the idea that attachment and love are the same 
thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys love.   (Osho)

If you remember the title/author/whatever of the book that 
you read this in, please let me know. I've heard the theory 
before that all belief systems before 10,000 BC were 
female-based, that matriarchy was widespread, etc, but 
quite frankly have never seen any substantiation of those 
claims (not to say I haven't seen them asserted a lot).
