Dear M,
 
   The great sages of India exhausted all arguments dealing with the mind 
in their discourses, debates, dialogues over thousands of years.  In  
doing so, they explored every concievable angle.  So it is quite easy to 
find many different points of view, expounded by men and women of great 
brilliance.  We need to be aware of these different points of view, but 
we can also continue the exploration.
 
   I fully agree with you that those in whom Kundalini has awakened in a 
healthy way should participate actively in helping to make this a better 
world for all.  Kundalini is a gift from God, and we can return the favor 
by making this sublime knowledge known as widely as possible.  As the 
evolutionary mechanism, only Kundalini can lift the race to its full 
potential.
 
Best regards, 
gene

I believe that if the self itself is nonexistent, as you say, then it would

an attack....trying to understand this little metaphor....
 
I do agree with the metaphor except the nonexistent self part - isn't the 
"hole" the part of us that is the observer of the outer donut (the concept 
which started this whole discussion)?  And which also never changes?  Concepts 
of self (not self) are changed by the reflecting of differing facets of self. 
 
I think the self (the hole in the donut) is similar to the cut and shaped 
diamond - never changing, but constantly reflecting different facets.  When 
the diamond is turned a different direction, with a different light shining on 
it, it appears to have changed, when in reality, it is only reflecting a 
change while remaining the same.

Gloria here: 
 John chances are if it wasn't this person it would be someone else 
since it is you learning about detachment. The thing is that as long as 
you give someone else power over you, this situation will continue with 
this person or someone else. What to do?  
 Recognize it is between you and God, and that you need to get to a 
space of allowing both high and low vibes to slide off, then as you 
adjust to this as the witness, soon, in the practice, it will change. 
This person is probably in his own power trip and is use to working off 
of people in this manner, but by simply not giving him your energy by 
reacting, it will go back to him and it will likely change. If not, then 
you work it out with God, and if your told to move on do it. You will 
know that you sincerely worked on it from the inside and whatever is 
there will be his creation and not yours. This is loving your enemies, 
if it was easy everyone would do it. It is not, and when you think about 
it, it is the one gift you give to God because it really takes letting 
go to accomplish the act. It is easy to love those who love you, right, 
but it isn't when it is the other way. And, it is a powerful lesson that 
will thrust you into Divne Will.

<< Dear Barbara, 
     Of course, we must agree with what you have said.  But there is one 
 thing more that you didn't say, which needs to be stressed over and  
 over again until it becomes universally known.  It is that our sexual 
 apparatus, our reproductive system, serves not only for pleasure and 
 reproduction but also for our accelerated evolution.  This is why we 
 are discussing Kundalini and sex in the same breath.  They are inseparable, 
 but they are much more, too.  Kundalini is the Guardian of Human Evolution.

Dear Gene,
 
I did say it, in words that are different than yours - evolution in the form 
of releasing judgements attached to sex and creating/experiencing 
unconditional loving ONENESS rather than seperation.  To me, THAT IS 
evolutionary!  Anyone taking the steps necessary to experience what I wrote 
about would definitely be transformed on all levels, as I have been as I 
continue this process.  Hope that helps.  :-)

Exactly how Is kundalini activity related to mental illnesses, as you  
mentioned here??  They are inherited, but isn't love, compassion taught  
rather than inherited??

Dear Max,
 
    Awakening Kundalini is both a specific phenomenon as well as a 
state of mind.  If you were to ask a Catholic priest how best to  
seek God, he may reply that one should pray for grace, do penance, 
perform good works, and, again, pray for God to open the door.  "Seek 
and ye shall find; knock and the door shall be opened unto you."
 
   Nobody can have an audience with God unless God grants it. We can 
only knock at the door.  It must be opened from the other side.  
 
   There is the perennial question as to what, really, does happen 
when a guru gives Shaktipat.  Many disciples and followers of such  
gurus are more or less predisposed psychologically to believe that  
along with Shaktipat they will have an awakening of Kundalini.  Since 
this phenomenon has not been scientifically investigated, it cannot 
be said with any degree of certainty whether or not it "works."
 
   Here we are talking about evolution, which implies major physiological 
changes.  So it is really an enormous question, freighted with tremendous 
emotional potency.  In other words, a very touchy subject.
 
   The only reason why I bring it up now is that so many people who  
have been awakened in this manner, i.e., by Shaktipat, will try to  
get others to request shaktipat.  Every hypnotist, especially those 
who perform in public, knows that the best audience is one that has 
been preconditioned to believe in hypnosis.  Hence the advertising: 
"World's Greatest Hypnotist!!!"  Now the audience is ready to be  
hypnotized, and within minutes a good percentage of those present will 
be hypnotized.
 
   Now transfer this same phenomenon to those who attend a gathering 
of a Shaktipat Guru's followers.  They have all heard about this great 
guru, this man who can, by the touch of a peacock feather, a glance of 
an eye, or whatever, can virtually lift them to a state of higher  
consciousness, nulify all karma, and break all the laws of evolution.
 
   Well, if they believe it with their whole heart and soul, something 
might happen that changes their lives.  I don't question it.  Let it be 
so!
 
   In your case, I would forego the "lingam massage."  Such therapy  
definitely has its place in breaking down certain psychological barriers, etc., 
but it won't get you an audience with God.  If such were the case, and if 
Tantra Yoga, as it is popularly practiced in the West, were able to lift 
an ordinary person to the status of a genius, then Tantra Yoga would be 
taught on every street corner in the land.  
 
   If I were you, I would first let the K. R. F. know your mailing  
address so that we can send you a few things to read that will present 
a more complete picture of what Kundalini is all about.  After you have 
read some of this information, you will yourself know exactly what you 
should do and how to begin. We are not proslytizing.  Our mission is  
simply to make the basic knowledge of Kundalini more widely known. We 
have no membership, no fees, no followers.  Our address is P. O. Box 
2248, Darien, CT 06820.  But if you leave your mailing address on our 
email address, we'll mail the information to you at no charge.
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Dear Max (Again)
 
  The above was written (and maybe sent) before we received your second 
email, regarding our thoughts on Tantra.
 
  In former times, in India, Tantra was a respected Path to Enlightenment 
or Self-Realization among the well-educated and highly intelligent man and 
women of India.  With the British rule, however, great efforts were made to 
discredit this form of Yoga, and these attempts were quite effective in 
giving Tantra a bad reputation, etc.
 
  During the years of British rule, when Tantra more or less had to go 
underground, it may well be that a lot of its spiritual essence was lost, 
as is so often the case.  Some years back, a friend of mine discovered 
an unopened box in the sixth-floor attic of a townhouse in Manhattan. 
The box contained about 60 copies of a handsome, 200-page journal, 
with gold-embossed cover, entitled "International Journal -- Tantrik 
Order"  Under the gold-embossed symbol of a serpent biting its tail 
surrounding a Star of David, with a winged globe in the center, were 
the words, "Tantrik Order in America."
 
   This Journal, handsomely produced and printed, with numerous illustrations, 
was printed in October, 1906, in St. Louis, Missouri.  I could hardly believe 
it.   It proved that a fairly large group of Tantriks was active in the U. S. 
at the turn of the century.  From the contents of the journal, it seemed to 
me that these Tantriks were light-years ahead of those who write about  
Tantra Yoga today.
 
   I once spoke to an Enlightened man who said, "The left-hand path is the 
right path."
 
   Tantra, as we know, is the left-hand path, which most Christian-oriented 
Americans would say is the "wrong" path.
 
   So what it boils down to is the individual and what Tantra means to him 
or her.  I suspect that many people who call themselves Tantriks are kidding 
themselves into believing that they are approaching Divinity every time they 
have Tantrik sex with someone.  On the other hand, there are no doubt very 
sincere, spiritually minded Tantriks who really are on the spiritual path. 
Each individual has to make that determination in his/her own heart.
 
  And we need to keep in mind that Tantra encompasses a great deal more than 
sex.  It is an entire way of life and way of looking at life.  
 
  In the Journal of the Tantrik Order of America--the one issue I have--dated 
October 1906, there is a bibliography, with this heading:  "Collateral 
Reading Relative to the Work of the Third or Vamachari Degree of the Tantriks."
 
  The bibliography lists about 50 books, including Higgin's "Anacalypsis," 
"The Gnostics," by C.W. King; Coleman's "Mythology of the Hindus;" Faber's 
Dissertation on the "Mysteries of the Cabiri," "The Eleusinian and Bacchic 
Mysteries;" etc.  Needless to say, of the 50 books listed as "collateral 
Reading," I doubt whether the average person practicing Tantra in America 
today has read a single one, or any other book of similar erudition.
 
  This has quite a lot of significance.  Today, we are exposed to highly 
erotic photographs every time we open a magazine, newspaper or turn on  
the television.  Pornographic magazines, books, and Video Cassettes are 
a part of a multibillion-dollar industry.  
 
  What this means is that many of us are overwhelmed by these extremely 
explicit images on a daily basis, leaving no room for the imagination.  
Under such conditions, and due to the general lack of knowledge, it would 
seem very nigh to impossible for a sincere seeker after religious truths 
to find much it in today's Tantrik circles.  It would be a big gamble. 
 
Sincerely, 
gene

Dear Daniel,
 
  Genius is as rare as an orchid in the Antartic.  Treasure it!
 
   My first thought is that you should definitely get your ME and 
then your Ph.D.  Regardless of your genius, without those degrees, 
you will never be able to realize your full potential, and that would 
be a terrible loss not only for yourself but for the world.  Of  
course, if you are as fortunate as Bill Gates, as a business man, the 
academic credentials would not mean too much.
 
  In my case, I'm very far from a genius, but I stumbled across some 
extraordinary information many years ago and have written four books 
on this information.  But because I am not a Ph.D. (B.A. in Journalism), 
I can't sell the books.  Editors are afraid of them because they  
contain so much information that they do not possess, so they think 
if they publish the books, they will become the laughingstock of the 
publishing industry and their peers.  I hope one day to overcome this 
handicap by putting some of this information into a non-fiction book, 
a novel, which would then let the editors/publishers off the hook.
 
  But in your case, you have the genius, and since you are young, the 
best advice I could possibly pass on to you is to be patient. Just 
proceed calmly, in a detached manner, to get your M.E. and your Ph.D. 
You will still be well under 30 years of age.  
 
  As a genius, you need to be extremely careful about your mental and 
physical health.  Generally speaking, a genius has a much more delicate 
constitution than that of ordinary people.  This means you must carefully 
regulate your life.  Regardless of how you feel about it, you must try to 
get at least 8 hours sleep every night.  You should eat the most whole- 
some foods available, on a regular basis, never skipping a meal, etc.
 
  This may sound like I'm prescribing a very boring life-style, and perhaps 
I am. But you will get all the excitement you need by the exercise of your 
intellect.  A lot of geniuses burn out at an early age for the very reasons 
I am giving here; they did not realize early on that they had to regulate 
their lives.  Go to bed at about the same time every night, get up at about 
the same time every morning; do some moderate exercises; eat all of your 
meals at the same times, morning, noon and evening, etc.  This will  
automatically regulate all of your internal functions.  In this way you 
can expect to be highly productive, happy, healthy and worry-free for 
a long, long time.  
 
  From a spiritual point of view, it would be very helpful if you would 
set aside some time every day, preferably early in the morning, for prayer. 
This should become one of your main habits.  Prayer will bring you the 
guidance you need.  If you feel so disposed, then fifteen minutes to  
thirty minutes of meditation early in the morning might be worth while. 
Try to do something for somebody else every day; just some little thing 
to be helpful, as a duty you owe to your creator.
 
  These suggestions, if faithfully followed, can work miracles in your 
life.  
 
Sincerely, 
gene

John thank you for sharing your profound and genuine experiences (most of 
which I have snipped to save bytes).
 
The sharing of experiences such  as these is a great gift to all of us 
and is what makes this list of real lasting value. 
I have no doubt that you are presenting things as they appear to you 
but I wonder if you might be open to some alternatives. 
In my limited experience the three higher chakras are certainly open to 
the cooling compassionate grace from above but may also be transformed by 
the rising kundalini from below. In some individuals, such as myself, 
the force of influence of the energy rising is greater than that descending 
from above but ultimately these two energies meet and it is in their union 
that dualities are transcended.

That is certainly one path. It is advocated by many teachers but there 
are others who prefer the path of kundalini yoga, in its various forms.

Yes, that's it. But isn't that the kundalini rising? And when it fully 
merged with the``grace'' at the crown doesn't your consciousness 
expand to fill the entire universe?

Yes, that is the *real* purpose of this listserver. thanks for bringing 
us back to focus on it.

It's an old adage: ``Not all good students are good teachers but all 
good teachers were good students.'' Despite the desire to share what we 
have found I think that it is best to first temper our understanding with those 
who have more fully traversed the path than we have as well as with the 
great literature of the many traditions.
 
I believe that teaching the descent of grace is much safer than teaching 
the ascent of kundalini. Still there are many (e.g. the Pentecostal church 
of my childhood) who teach the descent with too many bigotted trappings. There 
is still some good that comes out but the world has suffered a great deal 
under those who tapped into something they believed was ``God's will'' and 
then found themselves divinely inspired to due a variety of unwholesome 
acts.
 
Thanks again for sharing. I hope you don't find my comments critical - just  
take them as from another student on the path. I hope you'll share your  
response with me.

Dear Teeegeee, 
My book is called "Loved by the Light."   It is ony available through the mail 
for now. "Shared Transformations"  is the newsletter which printed the exerpt. 
You can order my book from me directly. As Gene Keiffer has noted, getting 
someone to publish books about Kundalin and related subjects is very difficult 
unless that someone is a PH D or is already famous. However, myself, El Collie 
(Shared Transformations, ckressATnospamaol.com), Gene (Gopi Krishna) and probably 
others have decided to get this information out on our own.  
I know from experience how valuable it is for those of us going through 
Kundalini activation to be able to read about what others have experienced so 
we will not feel so alone. Reading Gene's books helped me a lot I know. 
I finshed the book before I ever found the Kundalini list, which has helped a 
lot also. However I am sure there are many out there who do not have access to 
the Internet and this list who could use a good books and newsletters about 
Kundalini. 
I discuss My personal Kundalini experiences, and lot of other related ideas.  
"Loved by the Light"  should be a useful New Age Handbook.  
Thank you for asking. 
Love and Light, Linda

<< :) Barbara Ellen, 
 When you move the position, each and every facet of your diamod reflects 
 a "changed" light than it had the moment before, how many facets did you 
 say your diamond has? :)  >>
 
I didn't.  :-)  As a diamond, myself, I have an infinite number of facets to 
be reflected.  Did the light really change, or was it just the position of the 
diamond that changed, to reflect it differently?  Hmmmmm......another one to 
ponder!
 
Thank you for the smiles, Freda!
 
Blessings,
 
Barbara Ellen
