No you are not being chastised.  The time is only wasted if we choose not to

Yes, I used to have a thinking problem, but now I'm completely 
thoughtless...;)     The energy you used in the defense of Angelique will 
certainly have drained you.  You may turn it to your advantage by developing 
an understanding of what happened and using it as a springboard.

The worth of your eons of evolution is certainly not tied to any drivel that 
comes from my keyboard.  The hassle, maybe so.

In his autobiography Muktananda gives a drawing/chart of the "Subtle 
Centers of Consciousness."  He shows the usual 7 centers up the middle 
line, and the heart center is labeled Anahata. He also shows a center with 
8 petals just below the left breast; it is labelled hridayachakra.  A 
dotted line runs from this center to the lips.  I don't find where he talks 
about it, and it is not in the index or glossary.  Would you please explain 
what this center is?
 
Thanks,

We speak of the subtle body (which I take to mean etheric, the next level 
to the physical) and the centers (which are subtle and not in the physical, 
although connected/manifesting through the endocrine glands).  I have 
understood intellect to be a function of the physical brain.  When you 
speak of the "subtle" intellect, are you referring to intellect functioning 
from the subtle body and/or on subtle/etheric levels?

Thanks! :) Now that I'm on, please, pretty please with sugar on the top, 
it's enough to send just to the list, I keep getting duplicate messages. :)
 
>do give us your background for the list to know you. 
 
Where do I begin? ;) I was born 18.06.73. in Zagreb, Croatia. I had a 
rather disturbing and abusive childhood, to the extent that lead to my 
brother and I attempting suicide - both miraculously survived. It got 
better, I got sent to a lunatic asylum, I spent two years there until the 
shrinks decided that I was crazy, but in a healthy sort of way. :))) What a 
waking up that was, you can't even imagine. In there, I had to find some 
way to maintain balance, with all the toxic medication in the business, so 
I started to practice a form of AT/self hypnosis. Before that, things were 
that bad that at one point I seriously decided to get involved with the 
satan, coz I thought God had fucked me up so bad it couldn't get any worse 
- if the devil is His opposite, I thought, he must be a great guy. ;) Oh 
well, I got over that in a couple of days. :))))) LOL :))))) The next thing 
was that I discovered the Bible - the beginning of my Christian phase. ;)) 
Soon I got out of the hell-pit, finished high school, passed the entry 
exams on the College of natural sciences and mathematics in Zagreb, (PMF), 
the physics department, but there the "problems" began; a few years before 
in a bus I had a very disturbing thought - what if the universe outside 
isn't material, if it isn't the reality but some sort of a software 
simulation inside a _real_ reality, God's mind or something similar to 
that. The thought had never left me, although I could not have accepted it 
as my central viewpoint without eliminating the possibility that the 
universe _is_ reality. Well, at the college it came to me quite clearly: 
yes, it definitely is a completely arbitrary reality, made inside something 
infinitely greater - knowing that for sure, I abandoned my study of physics 
that seemed like a foolish attempt to interpret something that is as real 
as a computer game - maybe there are thousands of different games running, 
and there was no point in studying the games, only the "computer" made 
sense. A few days later on TV I saw an interview with Paramahamsa Svami 
Mahesvarananda - I realized that there actually was possible to do it, to 
come in touch with that reality beyond, and that there is a process of 
accomplishing that, called yoga. Before that I thought yoga was some kind 
of a stupid attempt to gain powers like mind control or sitting on nails - 
I wasn't a bit interested, and considered it a circus attraction of some 
sort. ;) Well, this view was sure history. :) The next day or so I went to 
the library - quite ordinary for me, I was reading something all of the 
time, it was a sort of a way out of the fucked up situation I was in, and 
could not change. There I found a book called "Yoga Upanisad I". 
Remembering that Mahesvarananda mentioned the upanisads, I immediately took 
it and went home. I started to read. At first, it made sense; I couldn't 
understand it but I always had this feeling for the bigger picture, for the 
pieces fitting the puzzle. Well, at first the pieces seemed to fit my 
puzzle. As I went on, I realized it was the other way round - that my 
entire puzzle was just one of the pieces of a greater puzzle, that I 
actually had no idea of what it was, but it definitely was there, real, and 
there were generations of people who have experienced it. Wow! :)) I was 
practically eating the book, not understanding much, but somewhere in the 
background this was it, I have found it, I was right, stumbling on 
something and there was the proof that I was right.  
At first I tried using AT to access some of those things, but as soon as I 
tried I had a rather disturbing experience of a strong vibration resonating 
throughout my body and mind; remembering some of the stuff from the 
upanisads about impure nadis and possible problems, I immediately stopped. 
This was all between the end of 1992 and the beginning of 1993. I was 
smoking 1.5 packs a day, drinking beer occasionally, got myself pissed 
drunk several times - not very cute indeed. :) Worse than that, I was in 
that apocalyptic phase, I even found myself someone to focus my hate on - 
Satya Sai Baba. I made up all those stupid theories that He was the "false 
prophet", bla bla, all the usual stuff, you can guess. :) Then, a few weeks 
after the upanisad experience, I went to the library again, and took two 
Sai Baba's books - I felt the inner urge to do so, interpreting that as 
"God wanting me to know the enemy better in order to defeat him". ;))))) 
ROTFL was I crazy or was I nuts! :)))) I started reading - at first it 
seemed to confirm my opinion. On the half way through the book, I wasn't 
sure what to think anymore - it was the upanisads, and more, the same thing 
I believed to be the essence of the good stuff; either that was a great 
satan's trick, angel of the light&co, or I was 100% wrong, big time. Well, 
I didn't know what to think anymore. Finally I found something. It was 
Sai's lecture that God is all-present, all-mighty; unlimited by form, in 
every form. Any form you worship, God possesses. It did it, I sat down, 
entered the AT state to quiet my mind, and started to visualize Jesus - not 
as a child or a dying man, but God with full power and dignity, a 
magnificent figure - all my respect and admiration focused on Him. Then it 
began - something had opened inside me, ecstasy filled my mind, shaking my 
body from the inside, every cell vibrating with Divine Joy; I knew I could 
not handle it much longer, I felt like all of my cells would explode in 
ecstasy, yet wanted it to last forever, even if it killed me. I felt the 
unspoken words: "enough for now". This was it, it did it for me, now I 
realized that if Sai Baba was in any way connected to something bad, than 
everything good in my life also was bad, and if satan tries to fuck people 
up by showing them God, what kind of a satan is he - turned into the angel 
of light so bad that he forgot to be evil? My kind of guy. :)) That was all 
absurd, of course, so I realized that everything Sai Baba's followers said 
about Him was true, that He was actually God incarnate. I felt it to be 
true, with all my heart. That day, I accepted him as my guru maharaja, and 
I felt Him accepting me as well. That's how it all began, year 1993. I 
started reading a lot - I was literally led to buy Yogananda's 
"Autobiography of a Yogi", I was literally fascinated, I resonated so 
strongly with that. I started meditating regularly, a few hours every day, 
knowing I don't have a proper technique but trying to give my best - 
immediately stopped consuming alcohol, became a vegetarian - I stopped 
smoking earlier, immediately after the "vibration experience" that scared 
me shitless. :) 
Year 1994. I was frustrated by the apparent lack of progress. Even 
considered a one way trip to India, where I would either learn some 
efficient technique of yoga or die, there seemed to be no other option. It 
didn't look very promising. In the library (what else's new? ;))) I found a 
book on tantra - I only read a few pages, it was enough - making love to 
the Goddess, YES, that was it, using sexual attributes as a power behind 
adoration. I immediately did it - it was so powerful that it is beyond I 
experienced so far, except the first initiation. I _felt_ the presence of 
the Kundalini Shakti as the Goddess, I was surrendering to Her completely, 
it was so powerful, so intimate - love so sensual, gentle and so ... 
indescribably powerful that I remained in ecstasy, with Her in my vision 
all the time, for several days. I didn't know it then, i knew nothing about 
Kundalini then except the things from the upanisads that I've misunderstood 
- but now I know that's when my Shakti was awakened. I had no side effects 
whatsoever, everything was fully vertical, internalized, an extremely 
smooth awakening. But yes, there was one significant side effect - I 
couldn't meditate anymore, i would fall asleep, it just didn't work. It was 
like the very reality filled me, being awake, alive, present, vivid - later 
I knew it was all Kundalini, but at those days I was utterly confused, 
thinking I was lazy and lacking the necessary amount of mumuksutva. ;) One 
day I was listening to music - the day before I finally _felt_ advaita as 
the truth; before that, dualistic conception of God worked just fine. It 
happened while reading a book of Vivekananda's speeches. I was nervously 
walking in my room, feeling upset and generally in a confused mood. I 
grabbed one of the Sai Baba's books, reading "why fear when I am here?" and 
similar lines. "Yeah, great, You're fuckin' here and You're doing just 
fine, not giving a bloody fuck about me, I could fuckin' bleed to death 
here and You wouldn't hive a transcendent shit, what's that to a God. Fuck 
you, I wish You were me for a day to see how it fuckin' feels, then I'd 
like to hear Your tale!". Immediately, I felt His presence - not somewhere, 
everywhere. I realized it was not God as something or someone distant, but 
_living_ God, living reality - all reality, joy, delight, flashes of 
understanding that I had, it was all It, it was brahman, it was I, 
satcitananda - one, not three, One Reality, and I AM THAT REALITY - not 
omnipresent, the presence and existence itself, not real but Reality, not 
true but the Truth, One without the other. Tat Brahman Aham - Om Tat Sat. 
"He is that Reality" - I immediately understood what the upanishads meant- 
"the Absolute Truth is brahman, nothing else". I went into nirvikalpa 
samadhi for some 15 minutes - feeling Sai Baba as completely transparent 
for Myself, I was expressed fully through Him - Danijel was some sort of a 
gray cloud, in comparison, all the things that had to be cleansed in order 
to equalize the inner and outer world. I felt maya, the tiny, non-existing 
but yet real because it was Me, non-dual duality - extremely painful death 
and life filled with joy seemed equal, no difference, all irrelevant, only 
Self Is, only I Am. I returned to my bodily awareness, so filled with power 
and reality that I walked around for weeks wondering how people don't see 
that God is HERE, NOW! :))) It was Easter, 1994. 
Since then, it has been purification time, a technique I called the 
up-stream kriya came to me, at first I simply noticed that I was doing it 
not quite knowing what I was doing, later I found Makaja's book on 
Kundalini-yoga, I finally realized it was Kundalini I was dealing with - 
when I got this new computer with a modem and discovered the Internet, all 
the pieces finally came to their places, this was it. I perfected the 
technique, discovered that I could easily awaken other people's Kundalini - 
it was such a natural thing that first few times I didn't even know what 
was it I was doing until they started manifesting Kundalini symptoms - my 
mind had nothing to do with it, it just happened naturally. The first 
"wall" I discovered at visuddha, level 6 - discovering that Makaja's talk 
about seven levels of Kundalini purification in chakras was true - in my 
technique, you clean the surface until you get the clear inner space, and a 
ceiling, a wall above, the things that do not get cleaned so easily - when 
you break off a tiny piece from above, it messes up the entire lower 
system, breaking up into its basic components - and then you clean this 
mess with kriya. So I started breaking the wall on visuddha - that was in 
the middle of the 1997. Then it was ajna 7, late 1997. Last month I removed 
an ugly piece of compressed junk from between ajna and sahasra-ara. Now I 
am working on something - it isn't over yet, so I do not quite understand 
what is happening exactly; probably I will find out more about it and share 
with you all. :)
 
Sorry for the megapost; I am posting it to the both lists - I sure don't 
want to write something this big again, and since I have been reading the 
k-list for a year now, I feel it is OK to give something back. ;)))))
 
And a big hug to you all! :)

Yes, I agree with that.

That is an interesting view. I've always interpreted that part as an 
attempt to activate anahata in order to connect with Self in a relationship 
of love, devotion and adoration - a personal love relationship with God.

If you put it like that, i can do nothing but agree. :))

Dear Soul 
  I have just read your background and it sums up the frustration I  
have felt at times, with similar language. I am thinking of trying  
Tantra ( can you do this on your own?) but my wife is not interested  
in my spiritual journey. I went to see Sai Baba Christmas 96 and that  
was a wonderful experience and last October I went to see Guruji a  
God realised Guru and that was amazing. On his Ashram I felt the  
experience of Divine Love. My meditation is difficult as I have no  
internal visulisation though I have had birds singing in my head  
which hapened when I pleaded with God to help me see His light at my  
third eye, so at least that is a blessing. How did you clean out the  
rubish between the chakras?  Yoganandas book "Divine Romance is good"  
though not about Kundalin as such. Thank you for your honest" One  
Back Ground Coming UP" I have only once before written to the list  
but the mixture of views expressed here is very helpful to me and I  
love the stories and humour. We are all children at heart. 
Love Chris

There were occasions Dieter was out of bounds unable to heed to anybody's 
advice.His matter was also not quite relevant.While religion and 
spirituality may run parallel to kundalini it's not the same.In the former 
you seek energy from outside while in k activation you are tapping your 
inner inbuilt resources.In the former there's inflow of energy from 
outside while in the latter there's outflow of energy from you.Finally the 
matter may come to the same thing,i.e., balancing and harmony between 
outside and inside forces.Perhaps with the difference that in k activation 
one is more in command of things. 
    A slight change of topic you said 
everybody has kundalini functioning and shaping their individuality.What 
do you think of other forms of life,i.e.,animals whose evolution has 
stagnated near zero since ages.Don't they have kundalini or maybe it's 
unable to function at all.That looks worth discovering.

Hi Peg. You wrote very clearly about expressing gratitude. I've called it 
"practicing praiseful awareness", but never laid it out in such simple 
words. When I try to explain to others, I wind up bouncing on my toes, 
waving my arms around, and talking in circles. 
May I forward your words on to certain of my friends? I will wait for your

Hi Barbara. 
You might look for a copy of "Liquid Light of Sex, Kundalini Rising at 
Midlife Crisis", by Barbara Hand Clow. 
"We FORM at age thirty, we TRANSFORM at age forty,and we TRANSMUTE at age fifty"
 
I'm menopausal, and have noticed that things have speeded up considerably in 
recent years, but can't tell if that's because I'm going through menopause, 
or because my kids are old enought that I can resume my spiritual seeking 
more independently of their needs. The changes began to accelerate when they 
turned thirteen, and were happily seetled in a nuturing school.

AFAIK, tantra is _not_ about sex, it is about using the sexual part of us 
in order to feed our connection with God. An enormous part of my own energy 
has always been connected to sexuality - at first I tried to repress that, 
following some extremely stupid advice, and that has lead me nowhere, I 
became a hard, rough, unkind and even at some times cruel and insensitive 
person. Not a very nice place to be. As a matter of fact, the opposite to 
that is the way to go - by recognizing that we are very sexual beings, we 
are able to focus all that enormous energy of attraction, joy, adoration 
and devotion on God/Goddess. It is, IMO, the only way to go. However, it 
does not have anything to do with actually having sex - that can lead to 
forming the horizontal energy links with the other person, unless he/she is 
also completely focused on God/Goddess. Otherwise, it is just plain 
ordinary sex, not vamacarya tantra as some like to call it.

Great for you! I never had an opportunity to go there, hopefully it will 
change. :)

Well, the first thing is to feel that stuff, to be able to connect to the 
emotional contents of that energy - the first thing to do is to open 
vertically. The easiest way to do that is to "remember God", by reading the 
most powerful holy text you know, to think about your guru - having Sai 
Baba's picture in front of you may help enormously. With time, you'll be 
able to do that at will, without any external help. The next thing is to 
feel your inner space, starting from your feet and going up. You will be 
able to feel the junk; feel it, and surrender it and yourself to God. Oh 
well, I've come this far, I can make the entire technique public here. You 
know the "jerk movement" of the head when you finish urinating, or your 
entire body shaking when you go from warm to a cold place? That's it. Try 
to do it at will, using yoni mudra, that is the contraction of the 
perineum/anus (perineum/anus/vagina for women) area, it draws the energy 
into susumna nadi, going straight up and leaving your body through 
sahasra-ara. The most important thing is to internalize before doing it, to 
go inside, connect to God, and then do it. Most of the problems with 
Kundalini awakening are the result of externalization, looking out; that 
overloads the impure systems and causes all sorts of problems. With this, 
you'll be able to instantly draw such energy outbursts inside and up, 
surrendering all the excess energy to God. Bottom line is, with this you 
can clean up all the surface junk in a matter of days, as soon as you learn 
to do this right. In a month, most probably you'll be able to reach the 
vertical barrier on your top level chakra, where the real fun starts. :) 
More about that when you get there.
 
Things to have in mind about doing this: 
- It doesn't stop until _everything_ is out. This is a serious 
transformation tool and should not be taken lightly. The results are 
extremely powerful. 
- Cleaning the junk releases more junk in the system; the junk has to be 
removed before implanting itself into the system, because it can cause 
trouble; when the chain reaction of cleaning up a certain area is started, 
it has to be finished 
- Do not do this unless you want to attain liberation. That's where this 
leads. No other goal is possible.
 
When you do this, at first you could have parts of your body jerking; 
left-right head movement means you are doing it right; energy is performing 
a spiral movement around the spine and exiting through the crown chakra. I 
called this technique "up-stream kriya", a sort of an English/Sanskrit 
mish-mash. :) My students are doing this very successfully. It is 
demanding, though, it is not difficult to do but discipline is required. Of 
course, there are some rules regarding the way of life that make this a lot 
easier. ;)
 
I hope I'll not regret this later. That's the first time I am making this 
public. 
Om Namah Shivaya! Jai Sai Ram!
