How Nasruddin created Truth
 
"Laws as such do not make people better,"said Nasruddin to the King;"they 
must practise certain things,in order to become attuned to inner 
truth. This form of truth resembles apparent truth only slightly." 
The King decided that he could, and would, make people observe the truth. He 
could make them practise truthfulness. 
His city was entered by a bridge. On this he built a gallows. The following 
day, when the gates opened at dawn, the Captain of the Guard was stationed 
with a squad of troops to examine all who entered. 
An announcement was made: "Everyone will be questioned. If he tells the 
truth, he will be allowed to enter. If he lies, he will be hanged." 
Nasruddin stepped forward. 
"Where are you going?" 
"I am on my way", said Nasruddin slowly, "to be hanged." 
"We don't believe you!" 
"Very well, if I have told you a lie, hang me!" 
"But if we hang you for lying, we will have made what you said come true!" 
"That's right: now you now what truth is - YOUR truth!"
 
Be Well

It leaves me wondering why anyone thinks Barbie HAD a K awakening.  If 
she's in a business, she's just trying to reach all the people she can.

What on earth has this to do with Kundalini? This is conventional Hatha Yoga. 
May I suggest the Sivananda Yoga Centre in Felsham Road, Putney SW.15. If 
nothing else, they should be able to put you on the right track.

Subject: The rift 
Message-Id: <35795123.MD-0.196.paulATnospamstationone.demon.co.uk> 
 
Hello.
 
In front of my true self there is a seperation. It's quite a chasm. On 
this side there is an `I' that observes, and on the other there is an 
`I' being observed.
 
The I that observes does not believe it is the same thing as the I 
that it's looking at, but it is. It attributes the observed as 
belonging to that which it is mapped on top of. Oh yes, I am very 
clever at making intellectual observations. Genius even!
 
There is a self-consciousness, a paranoia, a fear, and it's out there 
at the other side of the chasm. All the people of the world stand 
on the other side, and apparently it is they who are afraid. In their 
mirror I see waryness and self. Surely this isn't me? Please don't let 
it be me.
 
An emotional challenge occurs and the far side of me seperates from 
the near side. In an almost blissful dumbness `I' observes the 
seperated half of itself, thinking it is other, believing it is not 
it - believing I am not it. The face becomes pretentious, the great 
mask that is the ego, flares up and is artificial and the one that 
observes hates this, wants not to be part of it, wants to believe that 
it is detatched.
 
And so I is not very awake. Such is the width and depth of the chasm 
that night and day are at different stages on both sides. I knows the 
way everything should be, and in the bliss of its dumbness it 
withnesses a great many intellectual truths. Oh so clever, so very 
clever that I am. Oh yes, such a visionary, such a psychic, such a 
pile of shit.
 
When the rift is wide there is a state of escape, and one does not 
want to be there. One wants to escape from it. One cannot cope with 
being faced with oneself in the mirror of everybody else. Life becomes 
a mirror to ones own hell.
 
Such is the withdrawal and absorbtion that surely it is everyone else 
that is wrong. It's as plain as day. It is intense, as I looks across 
the chasm and sees that those on the other side have installed 
mirrors, and so there is only the I on the other side and one does not 
want to be near it. And the use of the word `one' is purely of 
intellectual origin.
 
Inbetween there is a great swirl of imagery, and I is not present in 
the imagery, /it seems/. Ideology has torn consciousness from its 
foundation. There is no hope, no way, no likelyhood of success.
 
One jokes at the exepense of others, because of course I is not them. 
They are so individual, so `I'. And somehow I is tremendously good at 
telling the high truth of other people's wrongness, and yet is a total 
hipocrit. How can one teach others truth and yet not teach it to 
oneself? One rule for them and one rule for me. How I has become 
everything it thinks it hasn't.
 
Maybe if the head was severed there would be a chance for the heart, 
cold and empty, sucked dry by the internal infection of the intellect. 
And how good one is at speaking /as if/ one is not these things, and 
how it sounds so snobby.
 
Opinionated? Me? No no, must be everyone else (he sais in cursory 
opinion). Oh of course, I am not good at speaking, I must become 
better at it, even though one has become overproficient. Of course, 
one is not confident, I must become more confident. Not that I would 
allow myself to be it when it got here, I would play it down and think 
there is not enough of it. Such standards. Such snobbery. Such ego. 
And such absence of gratefulness, barely a thankyou spoken in his 
life - he sais again distancing himself from himself.
 
But it's not me, it's everyone else, they are all the egotistical 
ones. Even the little children have more ego than I do! Maybe they're 
holding mirrors as well. How can one be afraid of children, that can't 
be right.
 
And as one touches another in so-called kindness, is it not for the 
self-indulgence of the senses. When one holds another in `compassion' 
is it not for the enjoyment of being close and held. Insecurity, such 
insecurity. Where are the real walls in this hall of mirrors?
 
Never can one ask for help. That would be failure!
 
But I need some help....

Paul.

Ed,
 
Why do you think "Barbie" had a k awakening?  More to the point, why do you 
think "Barbie" is genuine...or female?  That letter was a classic come-on 
which could have been/probably was written by a middle-aged hairy male to 
get you to respond with your email address.
 
I am a writer, and I am acquainted with at least half a dozen porn writers 
who do it (just like "Barbie" :-)) for the money.  Porn writers come in all 
shapes, sexes, ages, and sizes...and are quite adept at writing from either 
male or female point of view.  They usually write the stuff to feed the kids 
and keep the creditors away while they try to publish with legitimate 
houses.  You might be very surprised to know the real names of some quite 
well-known writers who started with porn.

Thank you, 'PAUL' for your keen insight. 'IT' 	inspired the  
following:
 
There can be much confusion between the true SELF and the  
everyday self: an 'I' that 'secretly' observes the 'i' being  
observed -which is the 'i' that thinks it does the observing. 
 
The confusion is compounded when looking at the mirror on  
the wall and in society, and seeing a reflection of the *true self*. 
 
The 'i' that is being observed and that *thinks* it does the  
observing is really quite limited to just thinking..but very  
clever in ascribing to the ego self those observations.  
 
In other words *true* wisdom comes from the omnipresent  
SELF and not the individual self...or, individuality may seem  
quite real and ingenious but never truly wise.  
 
Perhaps as the confusion is sorted out,  the K will awaken  
naturally.   
 
But, of course, these are mere words.

I would guess Barbie to be a male. Women don't usually think or write 
that way. The Barbie post screamed, 'male fantasy' and sexual 
repression to me. Just my $.02.

Hi.
 
I want people to understand that my `The Rift' message was serious and 
not just some casual old tripe. It wasn't meant to be a boast. I was 
deliberately trying to bring to light my potentially harmful aspects 
and behaviours. I myself was trying to show how bad they were, not the 
contrary of trying to be boastful or to say that these things were 
good. If I said I was a genius or that it is everyone else that is 
wrong, I am simply observing the way that my ego works sometimes. I'm 
not affirming these things or trying to suggest that they are right.. 
I'm just trying to describe my understanding of how the `I' is 
corrupt. My message did not come from the `I' and should not be taken 
that way.
 
Thanks

Greetings.
 
 
Some of us experience the *I* that we are as a fractal.
 
The individual points of a fractal are iterations of the entire fractal.
 
A causal look that compares individual points of a fractal highlights their 
surface differences, but a closer examination reveals their iterative nature.
 
Those of us who experience the *I* that we are as a fractal realize that 
our individuality is an iteration of the All-Fractal.  In this way, we 
understand that each of us are incarnations of the All-Fractal that is Spirit.
 
We understand that although our surface individuality may appear different, 
a deeper examination reveals that each of us is an incarnations of the 
All-Spirit.

  Welcome back Lobster, hope you are feeling well..:)
 
  If you want humor, there are plenty of places on the web to get it..  
  there are many mailing lists that are happy to send you jokes or 
inspirational stories every day. 
  Even Kyron is happy to send you a fluffy luv 'n light Marshmallow message 
every day.  
   How to get him to stop sending them, is another question.  
   In case you've not noticed....  this list is about Kundalini..  
   and issues of bandwidth are such, that I really prefer to see posts 
actually written by members, 
   instead of forwarded stuff, quoted bits that are supposed to be good for 
somebody, and jokes.  
     Blessings, Mystress

Very clever: sometimes Lobster, sometimes Ed. 
It must be really comforting to be ironic when you hide even your own mask.
 
Of course, I forgot, some here are active members of your IAM list. Is that

Hope you answer. Know you didn´t answer my question regarding the Jackyl and

The theoretical and practical aspects of Kundalini has interesred me a lot.I have also been meditating for the last 2 years without any powerful effects. I would be interested to try kundalini.I read one book on kundalini. It revolved more around the chakras and devlopmental issues associated with these chakras but said nothing about specific meditation exercises.Maybe somebody can suggest me a book that gives directions on the practice of Kundalini.

The cords and flying sound like a lot more fun. To lift off slowly and 
float up like a cloud and look down on the roof, etc etc. TAking teh scenic 
route. Wish I could slow it down to that.
 
Wish I could just go drift around surveying things. The other is like 
teleporting straight to a pre-selected place, rather dull.

Makes sense. There was something like that in a Piers Anthony fantasy book. 
 A magic potion or somethign that made you get as big and hazy as a cloud, 
with one foot in New York and one in Florida. Then you decided where you 
wanted to be, and stood on that foot, and shrank.

This makes a lot of sense with a lot of therapy etc. But I've had memories 
and reunions etc that checked out closer to the traditional idea, that some 
'past lives' are really closer to this life in practical terms than others. 
EG being drawn to the name of an obscure religion in the ENcyclopedia 
Brittanica, and going ot find the people, and fitting and being welcomed, 
lots of other 'memories' being stirred up. Sure, you can analyze all this 
as random access resonation or something ... like you can analyze the table 
as 'just atoms' ... but there's a level where it's more convenient to take 
it at face value.

Right. Sort out the emotional metaphor stuff from the practical (if any :-).
 
Still, the metaphor may be putting on too many limits. "My bamboo tea 
plantation was from a past life, so it's probably not still there, so no 
point in looking for it." Etc.

When? What was going on in your life at that time? Did you have career etc 
decisions to make, or could you just drift and let the spiritual stuff 
happen and decide worldly stuff later?

Right!

Right! Some scripture says it too, that each thought is a separate person, 
who never appears again.

Seems unlikely to.

In the meantime, on the way to that ... I sometimes find a stage where I 
feel like a 'nameless spirit' who is too small and pure to have any 
attributes at all. 'A disembodied point of view', as someone said. A tiny 
little spark or star that moves through the various identities.... As 
through a carnival fun-house....

Yes. Maybe another metaphor might be:
 
Think of some seeds that all have identical DNA. Still they will grow to 
different trees because of different soil, wind, etc. But each still has 
the complete DNA in every cell, so a new tree could be cloned from each, 
which would still have the same complete DNA info.
 
We can *see* this in watching leaves put out in the spring. Each bud is 
about the same, each leaf unfolds about the same. Then in a few days they 
are all diffferent.

I must be getting pre-cog, I'm answering posts before they're posted! :-))))
 
To repeat:
 
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.

There is no past or future except as experienced with the narrow confines of 
linear time.  Your bamboo tea plantation exists in the present moment...and 
your present "Mary" life interacts with it, and it with you, in the now.

I experience both the Past and the Future as metaphors for the Present -- 
metaphors for the Now -- that is Time.
 
I have noticed that Time is only narrowly confined when the Past and the 
Future are considered to be separate from the NOW, rather than considered 
as symbolic for the Present-Now.
 
By weaving Kundalini into Time, I intensify my ability to create because in 
addition to being one of the points of my power, the Present is also one of 
the powers of my point.
