It is sad that who ever Barbie is has the need to put out this kind of 
vibration.  If he/she really feels the kundalini all that concern 
would vanish as the love of the divine replaced such grossness.  One 
kiss from the Divine Lover and whoosh. In Songs of  Mirabai 
one can read this poem:  Come, O aloof one, a glimpse of your body has 
caught me. My name?  Call me the girl whom separation drove mad.  
Night and day there's a fish thrashing next to the water--servant Mira 
dies at your feet, and she calls you the Giver of Joy."  from FOR  THE 
LOVE OF THE DARK ONE

Harsha: I am in complete agreement with Jan.  When supramental and 
superconscious states come as a normal part of spiritual practice that is 
fine.  When one engages in particular practices to induce various types of 
psychic abilities or experiences, it simply is a waste of energy and distracts 
from the real goal.  Indeed, as Jan notes, compared to the experience and 
knowledge of the Self, astral travel and various other abilities are 
absolutely trivial.  Spiritual novices often boast of their "psychic" 
abilities (mostly imagined), etc., and create a hoopla.  Hankering and craving 
after such things reveals only a superficial understanding of what is 
important in life.  Company of Sages is important in helping to distinguish 
between that which is essential and that which is transient and unreal.

Dear List,  
 
I've spent the last few evenings re-reading a fascinating book, "Journey of 
Souls - Case Studies of Life Between Lives" by Michael Newton, Ph.D. (ISBN 
1-56718-485-5).  If, after reading this book, ANYONE says they are afraid of 
death, I'd be interested in hearing WHY from you.  It also has helped me to 
clarify what are my own life's lessons & purpose on this planet. Here's some 
info from the back cover:
 
"While in a state of deep hypnosis, 29 people recalled their experiences 
between lives as eternal spirits.  Through their extraordinary stories, you 
will learn specifics about:
 
- How it feels to die 
- What you see and feel right after death 
- Spiritual guides 
- What happens to "disturbed" souls 
- Why you are assigned to certain soul groups in the spirit world and what you 
do     there 
- How you choose another body to return to Earth 
- Different levels of souls:  beginning, intermediate and advanced 
- When and where you first learn to recognize soulmates on Earth 
- The purpose of life and manifestations of a 'creator'..."
 
Enjoy!  Michele

    Your post made me giggle.. I am not laughing at you, but at myself.. I 
have had a few odd chats with things in my mirror also..  
  Sounds like K. to me.. the entity in the mirror is an aspect of your own 
unconscious self, testing you to see if your ego gives it love or fear.. 
whether you choose to act in judgment.. well, go figger, if you're gonna 
learn unconditional love, at some point you are gonna have to learn to love 
your dark bits too.. and they do act in your highest good.. Love is all 
there is.  
  Resisting the K. is a path to nightmare land.. and I suspect hat is the 
"more" you are not mentioning..  
  step one is to get grounded, and in touch with spirit in your heart.. 
there you will have all your questions answered..  
    Do the grounding.. 
 
 The grounding visualization for awakening Kundalini is at

  Please visit this page when you have 20 minutes to relax

I haven't seen much spam either, maybe one post. 
 
Doesn't seem worth the hassle of moving, and they'd probably get into the 
new location too. Seems easier to deal with the spam than with people's 
subscriptions maybe getting messed up etc.
 
Why don't we all get togther on a new spell? :-)
 
Anyway probably some new anti-spam program will come along, too.

I know it's off topic for this list, but I had to respond.
 
Myself and the hacker friends I have have devised a way to deal with OOC 
(out of country) people, sites, and e-mail addresses that violate US laws 
and/or our morals (ie. kiddie porn). It's called WinNuke, or Portf**k, or 
Avalanche, the list goes on. You see the underground community on the 
internet can deal with any threat, anywhere in the world, any time.

Speaking of lies I think barbie is a lie designed to add the email 
addresses, of any one who replies to it, to lists that advertise porn.
 
If the spam sucks you into reacting perhaps there is something 
to learn.  Certainly it got some reaction from me. (lots to learn!) 
Lately, 4 uses of the delete key would made it a none event.
 
As to the BBC making documentaries, they are normally less 
sensationalist than most others.  Perhaps if someone helps them 
with this a positive message about K can be promulgated along with 
the entertainment.
 
I see this list as a kind if dialect.  It lets you consider 
different opinions and things that you may have not considered. 
Certainly since I have been on the list have I come to respect 
the opinions and utterances of certain people.  E.g. Jan Harsha etc

Dear Astric,
 
I'm not surprised you unsubscribed, considering the answers you got. :-(
 
Hm, I wonder if there's some confusion about the word 'kundalini'. 
Here are some different ways it is used:
 
1. 'Kundalini energy' -- which rises from base of spine to crown of head 
2. 'Kundalini yoga' -- techniques for 
      A. opening/clearing the chakras to prepare a path for the energy 
      B. awakening the energy and getting it started upwards 
3. 'Kundalini experiences', symptoms, awakening -- the experinces people 
have which often accompany the rising of the kundalini energy.
 
 You wrote: 
<<<<<< 
 I read a book "Treatise on Astral 
Projection" by Robert Bruce in which I found an elementary technique for 
opening the chakras before attempting projection and that's how I became 
interested in the subject.   
>>>>>>
 
There are lots of techniques for 'opening the chakras' as *preparation* for 
kundalini, too. Kundalini is an energy which (often spontaneiously) rises 
through the body/subtle-body, and so it is recommended to have the chakras 
clear and open first, to give her an unobstructed path. (If she does find 
obstructions, she can clear them herself, but sometimes taht is a little 
rough.)
 
Is it possible that Bruce was talking about 2.A, techniques to clear the 
chakras, and termed them 'kundalini yoga'? IE that he wasn't recommending 
*awakening* kundalini for astral travel, but just doing some of those same 
clearings? This would make sense. (Tho of course if kundalini does awaken, 
she would be a great help toward flying. )
 
Personally, the little astral projection I've done, has mostly been in 
'Theta' state, just between sleep and waking. Usually around dawn. 
Wonderful times of getting up and *walking*, tho lighter than usual, in a 
wonderful world of ancestors... Sensation of waking from the dream of 
normal earth.
 
Occasionally something quite different, flying in clouds after illness. 
(Suspect this is an illusion, still in body just with different labels on 
sensations. Breathing feels like flying, etc.)
 
Often in dreams, 'dream of flying' etc. Comes by inbreath, similar to in 
swimming, breathe deep and float to top of water. Pranayama helps.
 
I'd say kundalini was a help, to this as to many things. Clears channels, 
clears preconceptions. Helps me get ready to do all sorts of unusual, 
creative, psychic or artistic things. Some people see K as a goddess, a 
companion. This can be very reassuring when doing unusual things. :-) If I 
went astral flying and got scared, I'd feel safer now that I know how to 
call on Her.
 
I'd not do exercises designed to 'force' kundalini to waken (for any 
purpose or 'enlightenment' either). Forcing seems harsh, harmful. But if 
something is leading you to be interested in kundalini, and to want books 
about it ... well, that's probably your own heart telling you something 
useful.
 
Same re astral projection. If you feel an interest in it, there is probably 
some good reason behind that feeling. It would probably be very good for 
you to pursue it. (Just not with any harsh methods, or anything that feels 
uncomfortable.)
 
If you feel K and projection are connected ... then for you they may be.
 
Btw I agree with whoever said it should be 'flying' rather than 
'projection'. 'Projection' suggests that you stay here and 
project=throw/push something out. But really it feels like flying out, 
leaving the body here.
 
Have you read Stewart Edward White's THE BETTY BOOK? It was about an 
American lady who did a lot of visits to the astral world.
 
You might also read Muktananda's PLAY OF CONSCIOUSNESS. I dont' remember if 
he astral traveled in there, but he did nearly everything. :-) It sort of 
puts the kundalini thing in perspective, in case you get any odd effects 
from K. I remember one story someone told about Muktananda. She had often 
started to astral travel in dreams, but was scared and drew back. Then she 
was staying in his ashram (second floor), and had that dream, but this time 
she saw him floating outside the window, holding out his hands and saying 
"One, two, three, fly!" So she tried it, and after that she could do it any 
time. I think Ram DASs or ADam SMith reported flying in dreams too, and 
some guru approving of it. My own guru gave workshops in it too (tho I 
didn't do very well :-).
 
IMO there is a cultural difference between India and the west. There people 
are raised believing in yoga and all sorts of spiritual things. So they 
don't need psychic experiences as much as we westerners do, in order to 
believe it is all real. Some early Muktananda material talks about this 
too. He called his way "Siddha Yoga" -- some association with 
siddhe=psychic power. Such 'siddhe's were road-signs, ways to know that the 
meditation was really doing something....
 
Hm, I do some of my best pranayama in the deep end of the swimming pool. My 
body rising or dunking is good bio-feedback to exactly what my breath is 
doing. (Helps concentratin, too. :-) Some kinds of astral travel may also 
depend on breath, so may also be feedback and help people get ready for 
pranayama. Or just good exercise for the astral body. (Does it breathe too, 
when out of the physical body?)
 
Still, there's no rule that "Kundalini is for Enlightenment Use Only". :-) 
That would be trying to harness her to work, forcing her into a mold, a 
preconceived idea....
 
Like Angelique, I mostly get flashes of being in some other space, or 
seeing into it while staying in my body (like opening a window to a 
different world, the air and birds come in :-). Wish it would slow down and 
do the cord and all that -- it would be easier to take seriously.
 
Good luck, email me if you like, 
Mary

I don't know those books. ARthur Avalon's SERPENT POWER is pretty good, I 
think.

No. I read it all as one item. Only one obnoxus blinking ad (that is not  
a euphamism, it really blinks) at the bottom of the screen for the  
entire digest. And ...duh... if the posts are ...duh... split, it isn't  
a digest... duh... is it? 
 
The explination that it is a letter with a bunch of attachments was  
posted sometime back by someone else, not on hotmail. No one said they  
were wrong and I assumed they were right because that would fit the  
symptoms. This list is the only one that I don't have to delete a ton  
from when I hit "Reply" because it doesn't copy over any of the posts. 
 
Don't know why it could be at hotmail's end anyway. If the digest comes  
as one piece, as I mentioned other lists have come to me that way, how  
would hotmail know where to split the digest? I use their system,  
believe me from the programming I've seen, they couldn't write a decent  
splitting program. 
 
If they could before, they must have all lost about 20 IQ points from  
that part of their brain that does programming recently. Microsoft just  
bought them and if Microsoft ever had a decent programmer they've never  
let him/her work on a product they've released (unless it was a game).   
(Hence all the Microsoft jokes: What's the most used Win95 utility?  
Answer: Scan disk. Microsoft's motto: "Microsoft, where quality is job  
1.0, OK its 1.1, well 3.0, no 3.1, really 3.11, ...... whenever")

I have them but frankly I only want on my hard disk things I want to  
keep. When I see something on the list or other mail I do want to keep I  
forward it to my POP3 account. With a non-POP3 I can check in at home,  
at the public library, at a friend's house, and since we are being  
honest, once or twice, at work. And I leave less on the system than a  
POP3 would, not to mention when I want the message it is where I am (in  
the virtual sense) not on the machine at the library, the friend's  
house, or where I was last time. That is unless I checked all those POP3  
readers and made sure the were set to "Leave mail on server", assuming  
that was an option on that reader. (Yes I am a net junkie.)

What K-phenomena list?

The recent 'spam' leaves me wondering why Barbie's K  
awakening or disturbance would be considered/judged more  
from the moral/ethical perspective than from the spiritual  
growth point of view.  
It seems to me that pornography results from the perceptual  
conditioning process which divides the human body into parts,  
from not 'seeing' the whole person.  
Perhaps Barbie....and some of us....need some help with this.
