Hi Anurag,
 
     Thank you for writing!  This is a great list for finding things out 
concerning your interests.  There are few lists where you find such spiritually 
aware, well-informed people - it's like having the resources of a planet-wide 
spiritual group mind available to you.  I hope you enjoy it and get something 
out of it like I do.
 
Love, 
Tom

You are right about the primitive feeling. And yes, geometry, chess, are  
indeed complicated. I think that complexity and simplicity are two ways  
of finding out the same. They lead to each other. One can go through the  
complicated way and find out it was all so simple at the end. And, once  
one finds that out, complex things doesn´t seem so complex anymore.  
Finally you get the perspective. The Universe is primitive in the way  
that it exists without our minds having to find out how it works with  
geometry, etc.
 
So yes, now that I hear you, K leads to the primitive side of it. It´s  
the awakening of the awareness that lies withing it all without the  
laberinth and games our minds play. 
 
Thank you for your input. It may sound silly but when I read: 
"what struck me is that the cosmic awareness, at least as I experience  
it, is so primitive". 
I could sense the smell of the jungle, and it felt great (and  
primitive).

The Garden.
 
I stood before the hill, 
And prayed to what I thought was god. 
Not wanting to believe it was my spiritual body, 
That was the center of the being. 
The mental on the left side of the hill, 
And the physical on the right. 
They had created an ego, 
That they might be the greatest bodies of all. 
The mental was genius, and the physical 
So strong it could crush a mountain. 
Then they said that spirit was god, 
A separate entity from themselves. 
In this they were the only bodies. 
Now separate from spirit, 
They were also separate from mankind. 
They worshipped spirit to create a wall, 
Between god and themselves. 
A barrier to never be broken. 
They walked and talked among men, 
Proclaiming their achievements and greatness. 
Soon spirit was in the shadows, 
Left alone and forgotten. 
Eventually, they began to wonder, 
What were these achievements for? 
Was there a reason for these things? 
These beautiful creations. 
They began a search for something, 
Unsure of what they would find. 
They came to the hill, and saw god at the center, 
He so blinded them they didn't notice, 
They were standing on each side of god. 
There they joined again,  
With a feeling of fullness and joy 
The egos slowly dissipated. 
Whole with the universe. 
Fear evaporated, and love spread abound.
 
I dreamt this poem.
 
Blessings,

For the books: but not Sri Aurobindo, use the tools as you need them, from where

Hello Holly,
 
I have had very few migraines in my life, but lately deep work as been going 
own in my brain.
 
In the other parts of the body, i opened knots by directly accessing to them 
with the mind, letting myself sink in awareness in the place where the energy 
is working, and by a act of the mind learning to tap in the tissues to let 
them expand, relax themselves, and let the knot diffuse itself. The same can 
be done in the brain, it just a bit more difficult since we are used to sit 
our center of awareness there in occidental society.
 
To give an example, when we have a cramp in a muscles. We can if we are 
deeply calm enough go into that muscle to relax it with our awareness. For me 
a migraine is just another kind of cramp.
 
Hope this helps 
Antoine

My wife,Adele, and I have received Shaktipat from Sri Siddheshwar Baba. 
Adele was very moved by the story of Lalleshwara and would like some information, booklist etc. 
I personally have had little in the way of any energy like experience in my spine or anything particularly unusual. Is this 'normal' 
My wife had some spinal energy experience soon after shaktipat,the length of the spine to her head, but not much since. 
Our Guru has advised not to do any specific kundalini excercises but that shakti would cleanse the chakras of her own accord. Any comments?

The evolution of enlightenment is most commonly explained through the laws of karma 
instead of genetics.  As beings pass through many rebirths they occasionally become 
humans and even more occasionally become enlightened.  In the Mahayana Buddhist 
tradition after enlightenment beings can chose to return to the earth to show others 
the path to enlightenment.  So no enlightened beings ever 'disappear.'
 
In biological evolutionary theory there has been much discussion recently about 
people that do things contrary to biological imperative.  One explanation brought up 
by Dawkins(I'm not sure of his first name) is that there is a chemical evolution of 
genomes through the laws of natural selection, and these same laws also apply to 
evolution of idiomes(I think that's his term).  Basically thought patterns obey the 
same laws that apply to the biological world.  They exist, they can evolve/change, 
and they can die.  The thought patterns that have the best chance of survival last 
the longest.  So a thought that has vitality will last a long time and continue to 
evolve.  There can also be conflict between this realm of thought and the realm of 
the biological.  If enlightenment is also a function of the thought realm and it is 
a long lived way of thinking then even if biological it is selected out, 
ideologically it may be selected for and will continue to grow and reproduce.  The 
book 'The Dangerous Gene' by Dawkins describes this theory.
 
Personally,  I feel that the state of enlightenment exists, has always existed and 
is a part of each of us.  It isn't something that evolves through time, though our 
limited perceptions makes it seem as we are moving through time and socially and 
spiritually evolving.  It is something that is always a part of us though perhaps in 
a different place in the temporal realm.

Hello Dan M.
 
Your answer is very interesting...
 
Taking a symbol, to try to go deeper in this topic: the star of David (one triangle 
pointing down, Karma in this case, one triangle pointing up, genetics or evolution) for 
me represent two side, way of manifesting, of the same "force".
 
Of course God can manifest it/himself in the moment in any form. And he does, but why 
should he force another path then nature "laws" of evolution when he can use them?
 
>  As beings pass through many rebirths they occasionally become

Would it not be easier for this Being to start from a body that as already been prepared 
by others beings, i.e. the mother and the father incarnated before copulation?
 
> In the Mahayana Buddhist 
> tradition after enlightenment beings can chose to return to the earth to show others

No they do not disappear, but to come back they must work with what they have on this 
plane from the limit of their capacities. Would be interesting to see what comes out 
from an enlighten mother and father giving birth to an enlighten Being, and "maintaining 
space" around the child until he grows strong enough.
 
Some say it take 9 bodies on this plane, others 3, to contain the avatar of the entity 
called Christ. I don't know if it's true or not. But i can see that a body in this 
species a century from now could contain much more, of the Being it is associated to, 
than it does today
 
> In biological evolutionary theory there has been much discussion recently about

Yes... seems Nature has difficulty making those two triangles converge to create a 
perfect harmony between the two "planes" (biological and spiritual). As the lower 
triangle gets close to the higher triangle, it seems to want to jump over forgetting the 
lower triangle. Nature is having a real hard time to come to center those two triangles 
in the heart of a human living (reproductive) being.
 
In the study of human evolution from the prehistoric man of "Cro-Magnon" (in french), 
you have many examples of possible future human species with bigger brains then, that 
did not pass the test. "Their brain evolved to fast for them to find living interesting 
knowing they where to die, what was the point of living for them?", one of my teacher in 
philosophy likes to say.
 
In Buddhism (Nirvana/Samsara duality) and in Catholicism (Paradise on the sky, Hell to 
keep you going here, duality), is reflected, in some way, the same tendency to divide 
the two triangles or two planes of existence. Was it because the human mind was not 
ready then, in the body, to synthesize both as one?

Yes... very true and like you said we have to work from where we started until we leave 
time to be in the now at all levels of our existence.
 
A question i ask myself sometimes is if my work, from my body, helps more all of 
humanity (and more), to reach this point, when i work only on my body to open to the 
Divine, or when i preach to others how to do it, or when i spend time with my children i 
would like to have.
 
Probably all three... Maybe none of the three....
 
Namaste 
Antoine

mmm . . . 
An important point though. Self described kundalini realised "geniuses" or 
enlightened beings have never struck me as particularly enabled or exhibiting 
more evolved qualities. The words they write are no better than those of a good 
writer or poet (if that). Their insights into the nature of the universe are 
often wrong, niave, useless and sometimes as perceptive as any theoretical 
scientist might work out. They may have personable qualities of charisma or 
charm and moral integrity, all things that anyone can develop independent of 
kundalini or other forms of snake charming. 
No kundalini enabled person has ever claimed the huge amounts of cash (which 
they could give to charity) offered by sceptical scientists and others to 
demonstrate their "psychic gifts". 
So what do we have? People exhibiting mental and physical distress which can be 
put down to hysteria, madness and physical imbalance. People undergoing mental 
processes that can be seen as chemical and hormonal changes, again from a 
variety of causes. 
If Kundalini is about human evolution, why are so many kundalites not able to 
fulfill their human potential, let alone something higher? 
Just a thought . . .

"Blessed are the poor in Spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." 
 
Of course, the poor are blessed with spirit,  IF they are 'godly', not 
obsessed with gaining worldly power, status, or wealth; blessed is 
ANYONE with spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 
(This interpretation....after eating bagels and loxster with cream 
cheese and onions.) 
---------------------------------------------------- 
Residual questions:
 
Does the above quote mean ALL the poor are blessed with spirit?
 
Do I recall correctly Jesus saying one should give away their wealth? But to 
whom?  Not to the poor, who would then become rich -the rich poor- and  we 
are back where we started.  Maybe it meant distribute the wealth fairly.  But 
isn't that......? 
---------------------------------------------------- 
Today I went out into the world to make a 'business' deal.  I felt creative and
 
articulate, but I wonder what will happen when I 'strive' to make my dream  
happen?  Oh, I can hear the chorus now:  DON'T STRIVE!!!!! Go with the flow!!!
 
Any role models out there? :-)
