 translation in your view? 
  
 Harsha >>
 
Dear Harsha,
 
Thank you for your kind words in several recent emails.
 
Regarding brain function, initially I scored in the 85-92% range in 
standardized tests administered in third grade.  After my initial Kundalini 
awakening on January 31, 1953, I usually scored in the 98th or 99th 
percentile.  My best friend at that time was a budding scientific genius who 
was lacking in other areas.  I saw that I could become an intellectual 
*genius* by concentrating on my studies but that this could leave me weak and 
unstable in other aspects of my life.  So I chose to be a more normal kind of 
boy and develop in a more balanced and wholesome way.  My friend graduated 
from Exeter in three years and shortly after arranging to graduate from 
Princeton in three years (working all night on research projects in the 
laboratories) he attempted suicide and landed in a psychiatric hospital.  He 
eloped from there and later pioneered the development of *mini-computers* in 
the 1960s but his marriage failed.
 
Regarding spiritual development, in that initial encounter with the 
resurrected Jesus of Nazareth (now established as Lord of lords and King of 
kings, Almighty God and perfect Son of Man, the last Adam (1 Corinthians 
15:45)) I was completely undone by the awesome holiness of God and His 
kingdom.  The contrast between God's holiness and my sinfulness was 
unbearable.  But I did not understand that this could be resolved simply by 
surrendering myself to God.  My native religion of Yankee Self-Reliance taught 
that I should become worthy by my own works.  Meanwhile I was clueless and 
lacking in guidance from family, church and school regarding step by step 
practical development of holy living and character.  Also, I kept my 
experiences and spiritual gifts secret for fear of being sent for psychiatric 
examination and being institutionalized.  Having to sit in a classroom rather 
than hiking, swimming, fishing, wrestling, and playing baseball all the time 
was bad enough.  I certainly didn't want to be locked up in a mental hospital. 
The prevailing pressure was to conform to the world, which I did by 
deliberately sinning and quenching the burning fire of the Holy Spirit which 
made a normal life in this world so difficult.
 
The outcome was that I followed the atheistic evolutionary liberal humanist 
and socialist path of development which was increasingly promoted in the 
schools due to the influence of John Dewey et al.  I had a vision of the 
kingdom of God, but I sought to implement it by worldly and humanistic means 
-- not realizing and admitting that this is impossible, due to intrinsic 
contradictions.  Naturally, I joined up with Buckminster Fuller who said the 
way to enable all humankind to be completely successful on Spaceship Earth is 
by Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science.  I was about to help Bucky 
Fuller launch the World Game Project (to help solve all the world's problems 
by humanistic and technological means) in 1970 when he alienated Richard M. 
Nixon and the whole thing pretty much went down the drain.
 
I was more ambitious than Bucky.  He published an Operating Manual for 
Spaceship Earth.  After earning a B.A. from Goddard College and an M.S. in 
Design Science from Southern Illinois University, I published a Guidebook to 
the Universe: Some Contributions to the Theory and Practice of Synergy -- 
which, in addition to promoting Synergetics as "a field for all fields," 
offered a "Design for a University of Earth" as the ideal paradigm for a New 
World Order, a global learning society for the New Age.  This was my Ph.D. 
project (1977) in the Graduate School of the Union for Experimenting Colleges 
and Universities (now Union Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio).
 
Pride goeth before a fall.  The outcome of this grand achievement was that I 
floundered in humiliation and unemployment for three and a half years in the 
swamps of Hyde County, North Carolina.  In March 1981, when I finally 
surrendered body, emotions, and intellect as well as spirit to Jesus Christ as 
my Lord and Savior, my life began anew.  He led me into regular employment 
again (an office job that any high school graduate could do) and restored me 
to His church in an independent charismatic congregation.  By divine grace and 
provision, my wife and I attended seminary from 1988 to 1991.  I worked nights 
on the loading dock for a trucking company.  Ann received an M.Div. from Duke 
Divinity School, and I received an M.Div. from Southeastern Baptist 
Theological Seminary.
 
In other words, I didn't do a master of divinity and then a Ph.D.  First, I 
earned a Ph.D. in a humanistic and New Age program.  Then I repented. 
Fourteen years later, I earned a master of divinity and served for several 
years as a local pastor in United Methodist churches until the Pharisees and 
Sadducees decided to exclude me both from further consideration for ordination 
and from further appointment.  They were outraged by the implication that 
maybe some of them needed to repent as well.
 
Finally, I want to respond to your question about Messiah.  The Hebrew word 
<mashiyach> means *anointed*; usually a divinely *consecrated* person as a 
king, priest, or saint.  The prophet Samuel poured a flask of sacred oil on 
the young shephard boy David to show that he was chosen by God to be the 
anointed king (messiah the king) of Israel.  The Psalms of David contain many 
prophecies -- some were fulfilled in the birth, life, crucifixion, death, 
burial, and resurrection of Jesus; some were fulfilled in the national 
restoration of Israel in 1948; some are yet future -- indicating that king 
David was a true prophet of God.  There have been many messiahs among God's 
people over the years.  Many of them have been prophets.  But from the time of 
Moses who prophesied *The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like 
me from your midst, from your brethren.  Him you shall hear.* (Deuteronomy 
18:15), it is understood that Moses was speaking of Jesus, the Son of Man and 
Son of God, who is all in all -- Prophet, Priest, King, Redeemer, Healer, 
Teacher, etc. -- who has come in humility as a sacrificial lamb and will come 
again in power and glory at the right time to destroy the works of 
unrighteousness and establish love, peace, and joy throughout all the realms 
of His entire creation.  Christos is the Greek word for *anointed*.
 
With best regards and blessings,  Don

for the record, since September of this year (yes, coinciding with the 
depression after Princess Diana's death) I have been taking Prozac...also for 
the record, I was taking Prozac for nearly two years straight back in 1992 and 
didn't have any of this sort of experiences at that time.
 
I'd like to propose that if K-awakening has anything to do with the Prozac, so 
be it...like the shaman's tools perhaps... so if there is a K-lister or two 
frowning right now and doubting the validity of a K-experience while medicated 
with Prozac, suspend your doubts and think with compassion towards the 
Prozac...what I mean by this is that Prozac is as much as a part of the big 
picture as anything else...if bodies, if objects, if "consensual reality" is 
illusionary, then *any* drug is, in a way, simply a "placebo" that allows us 
to feel "better" ... whatever that may be! Horses for courses, etcetera.
 
(okay, clear as mud as ever!)

Dear Jack,
 
Interesting poll.  I'm taking nothing but an occasional aspirin, vitamines, 
and an occasional Melatonin (was 3mg now 1mg) to help me sleep.  
 
Only one person answered my query that thought Melatonin had any effect on K, 
so maybe there is no connection.

Dear Steve,
 
 I've only been going through this for a bit over a year, so you could 
probably tell me a thing or two.  I feel one has to trust what Krishanmurti 
termed "the Process"  and not fight it in any way.  (hard advice to follow 
sometimes) .  The Shared Transformation newsletter has helped me a great deal, 
too.

Everyone, Gloria here. Gene was being scarcastic, he didn't mean for

HI Mark, 
 Many people have this same kind of experience and even find other 
languages coming through, spirit normally interprets it, you do know 
what it means from inside, don't you?  
 The body movements and sounds are all a part of the dance which you 
learn to simply just take into the overall process of living in the 
flow.  
 I usually ask people to go to my homepage to check out my story so that 
we don't have to go through all of it, and then it is easier to share. 
Would you like to do that? I will looking forward to getting to know 
you. Gloria

How about this for a synchonicity, I was there. And, I attended their 
meditation and loved the music. My friend and I did a three week 
supernatural trip in Europe and Taize was one of the places we visited. 
It is very nice, tell them to check out Rennes Le Chateau, and Lourdes 
as well. Gloria  I will check it out.

 You see I have known Gene for about six months or more, and I'm still 
having to tune into when he is serious and when he isn't, so Gene, dear 
friend, perhaps since you are writing to over 300 people here on the 
list, that you can be more clear with your jokes. How about writing 
right after it, this is a joke. Some people have the knack of pulling 
off a joke and some don't, I'm very sorry to say, dear one. You don't.

Drugs and kundalini really don't go together well, if you have a surgery 
and are on something for a few days that is one thing but to take 
something ongoing would not be recommended. Gloria

Gloria here: 
 Kundalini manifests the whole spiritual awareness, so the best way of 
knowing something is real is how it changes the individual inside and 
out for the better. In other words, there is fruit of knowledge, the 
ability to perceive and detach, awareness of what is going on in a very 
balanced way, and the ability to help others without any thought of 
anything in return. This is also consistant without a break, because it 
is spiritual understanding since one is now awake to spiritual realities 
it is only natural to respond with love and consideration to all living 
things.  
 When one is up and down, with mood swings, frustrated, angry, etc. then 
I would look at it very differently. From my experience that doesn't 
enter the process in the least.

Maybe there is no connection with them or I, but that does not rule out YOUR

Gloria Lee here: 
Bless you, indeed, Delirium. As a therapist, I have mixed feelings about  
drugs... perhaps mostly a concern for those who only take the drug and  
do not examine their feelings in any other way. But drugs are so often  
helpful just to restore one to *normality*..then able to tackle any  
other life issues. However, I do wonder what is behind Jack's original  
question. Is Kundalini meant to be a cure-all for whatever else ails  
anyone..body or mind?? We partake of the frailties..all the human race  
is prone to...even the suggestion of the previous thread re: high IQ and  
genius tends also to suggest some form of natural superiority in  
selection..a super race?? a new breed of evolved humanity?? Just because  
some paranormal seeming states may also happen along with Kundalini?  I,  
for one, think it is important to resist this sort of elitist  
propaganda..nor do I feel it is accurate in any way. Considering how  
often it has been viewed as a sign of mental and physical  
disturbance..the whole clarification of what may be fairly attributed to  
kundalini deserves deeper consideration than Jack's assumption here...no  
such easy generalizations are possible. I applaud Delirum's courage..let  
us not be in any way *exclusive*..ego will not serve our spiritual  
growth.

Dear Dor,
 
   Thanks for the kind words.  I guess I have been at this game 
much too long and get the idea that everyone else has been in it 
as long as I have.
 
   The other day I offered K-people some articles, pamphlets and 
a book,  THE SHAPE OF EVENTS TO COME, free if they left me their 
mailing addresses.  Today I spent about three hours fulfilling  
those requests, sending out one book, one dozen articles, one 
pamphlet, and one pamphlet.
 
   If you give me your mailing address, I'll send you the same 
batch of material.
 
Thanks again, 
gene

Dear Viviane,
 
   We should not assume, automatically, that these scientists will be  
dummies.  They will know everything we know and maybe a lot more.  We have gone  
over this question a hundred times and have written very extensively about it. 
That is why we assume that many of the K-people would have thought about it 
and learned a lot over the years.
 
  Today we sent out packages of reading material to the most recent 
K-people who requested it---one letter; one book; one pamphlet and  
one dozen different articles.  That is about the tip of the available 
iceberg of material we have in our files, but it is sufficient to give 
us all a new perspective on Kundalini.
 
  As I've said many times, anyone who wishes to receive this package 
of articles, etc., need only email us their mailing address.
 
Thanks again for your observations.  But to be specific, the Research 
Project is not something we just dreamed up last month.  We have  
enunciated it in considerable detail in various proposals.
 
  Ideally, we would want to have from one hundred to two hundred 
candidates who would dedicate themselves to awakening Kundalini on a 
full time basis, something like an ashram, but not an ashram.  They 
would be under the guidance of experienced gurus and knowledgeable 
and SYPATHETIC scientists who have either awakened Kundalini themselves 
(you some scientists are just like us!) or would be attempting to do 
so.  The goal would be to have one, two or three of the candidates 
awaken Kundalini spontaneously, at which time they would be monitored 
very carefully.
 
  You see, Viviane, these scientists would know all the available 
facts about Urdhava-retas.  And, they would have read all of the available 
ancient texts.  And, most importantly, they would have consulted with 
the gurus from India and elsewhere and enlisted their assistance.
 
  The Research Program would not be a little thing.  It would cost  
a great deal of money and would be highly visible to anyone who has 
an interest.  No secrets here.  This is science.
 
Thanks again,
 
Gene
