Paul,
 
I feel we are both journeying on a long path that ultimately will end 
nowhere.  The truth is we have nowhere to go for we were Here all 
along.  But how far we have to go to realize our beginnings.
 
This journey for me began a lifetime ago when I felt a powerful 
desire to know God.  There was nothing else for me, and ultimately I 
abandoned my life for I saw it as separate from God.  What now am I 
to make of being born here again?  I know I was escaping physical 
reality, and not finding God.  God is everywhere, and when I am 
content wherever and whatever I am, I am there!  Yoga, for me, is 
many different techniques that work better for me at different times, 
to keep me conscious of my ultimate goal, desire, reality. 
Sometimes, all I can do is remember to observe.  Other times, I can 
achieve deeper levels of meditation.  Sometimes, I am drawn into the 
illusion, and forget entirely who I am.  My consciousness grows 
stronger the more I practice these exercises.
 
I think you do belong on this list.  I would miss you if you left. 
Also, it was good of you to apologize for your comments on Yoga. 
That is one of the hardest things for people to do, admit their 
mistakes.  My husband cannot, and, after 13 years of seeing how 
impossible it is for him, I no longer expect any apology when he 
"acts up".  It has made me realize just how hard it is.  There are 
others, like my boss, who apologized once to his chair when he bumped 
into it "I beg your pardon".  :-) His words are truly meaningless.

Dear Evelyn, 
I  too experienced this, and believed I was about to have an out of body 
experience.  I got scared and stoped it.  I was told that when I'm ready, I 
will allow myself to go and it won't scare me.  The weird thing is that I 
experienced this while I was free-dancing.  Does anyone else meditate and 
dance?  Like a Zar.
 
Love, Benita

For years  I have felt vibrations mostly near my feet/ ankles, with the 
rhythm of a cat's purring.  Don't know if it is realted ornot, because I 
also used to sometimes feel ghost cat feet walking on my bed as well.  But, 
now it feels like a bigger cat?  I am wondering if dragons purr.  Ohhh, I 
am getting some suggestive comments on that line!
 
Or maybe it is k, I dunno.

maybe you have it now.  seeking alone, you will find yourself a  
compassionate part of everyone from whom you thought you were apart.

Hi All,
 
I would love to thank each and everyone one of you for being there for me! 
There were many that also contacted me in private and helped me through a 
very difficult night.
 
It all started with a phone call that give me some very shocking news and 
blew my world apart.....yet again!  .....and again.....and again......what 
is it that I am suppose to be learning from all of this?  I am loosing my 
trust in everyone and this cannot be a good thing!
 
Anyways; after the intial shock I felt a shock wave.....vibration enter me 
from my feet and it rised throughout my entire body and then went out my 
head.  Afterwards for at least 1/2 hour , maybe longer, I was shaking from 
the inside.  I should point out that if anyone was looking at me they would 
not of been able to notice any changes.  I thought that I was breaking 
down.....to much information in so little time!! Let me deal with it ....one 
thing at a time please!  not all this boom booom booom!!  I need to fix each 
thing so that I do not loose control.  I must have control!  Its the only 
thing I can count on and that is myself.    Anyways going off topic 
here.....It was after all this shaking that the really strange stuff 
started!  ohhh and after some nice messages I got that were helping me to 
feel calmer.....I heard high pitch sounds almost like it was coming from 
some kind of instrument.  With each sound I felt more at peace.....that is 
until the other events took place.  I then began to hear whispering.  It was 
like I was surround by people but I could not see them.  I could just hear 
them whispering.  I hate it when people whisper!  that is so rude!  Only 
they weren't people.  I think they were spirits.  I also saw many small 
black shadows floating by me and around me.  This really threw me as in the 
past if I have seen these shadows they are usually followed by an entity. 
Thank god this was not to be as I am not sure I could of handled another 
entity fight!  My hearing for the rest of the evening went to an all time 
high.  I could hear my next door neighbours talking!!!  and I'll tell you 
that was embarrasing for me!  I believe people have the right to their 
privatcy.  I could also hear the traffic and many other things in the 
neighbourhood.  I finally went to sleep in the wee hours of the morning 
completely exhausted.  I just got up two hours ago!!!  I do not usually 
sleep in that late.
 
Why does the kundalini rising affect the people around us?  Does This force 
make it that people have to tell you the truth?  It seems everyone that has 
lied to me suddenly has this guilt thing going on and they now have to tell 
me the whole truth!  Okay truth is good but one at a time please!  Let me 
adjust first then let the next truth come my way.

Hi Flute and All,
 
This topic brought back this memory to me that I would like to share with 
you and the others.
 
When I was younger my cousins stayed over one night.  Very late at night we 
all witnessed something very strange.  In the window was a giant eye looking 
in at us.  Ohhh wait it gets stranger.  Around my sisters bed there was 
hmmmm let come them spirits......floating around her bed.  In a circle.  Up 
over and then down and under and then back up again, over and over.  They 
had the form of football players.  (I didn't even know what a football 
player looked like until that night)  In our room  a desk  is connected to a 
wall.  A hand kept going over and over the book case that was above the desk 
as if it was trying to choose a book.  When I looked over at my cousin 
(remember we were very very young.)  he was no longer looking like himself 
and he had taken on the appearance of a skeleton.  This put a scare into me 
and made him laugh. All of the children in this situaton are now full grown 
adults.  Each one of us can remember the details of that night.  None of us 
will admit to it happening to anyone else now because of the reaction we got 
when we tried to tell our parents about it.  My cousins now will say it was 
just group hystics (sp)  My sister will admit she saw it and remembers it to 
me but she will not talk about it with anyone else.  I will speak about it a 
little with people with open minds now but I still have no idea what this 
group sighting was all about.  My sister also has displayed abilities over 
the years.  I do not know about my cousins as they wish to forget about it 
and have become very private people.   So do you or anyone else have any 
idea what happened that night?  And what since this topic was on 
eyes.......what would a large eye in a window mean?  We felt like it was 
watching us.  As if it was viewing the same things we were viewing and 
watching how we were reacting to everything.  I was scared but excited at 
the same time.  I cannot speak for the others.

Hi everybody, 
 When I introduced myself to this list just about a week and a half 
ago, I mentioned that I wasn't sure whether I was experiencing K or not. 
Well, I'm still not positive (because I haven't looked around for anyone 
to give me the Good Kundalini Housekeeping Seal of Approval, though I  
may soon check my local listings).  I almost just joined the list out 
of mere peeping-tomism, truthfully.  But then, last weekend, I was taking 
a recreational drug trip and doing my normal (continual) bodywork 
and knocked out some **major** blocks and such.  Since then, I have  
been sleeping about 3 hours per night, eating mostly because I know 
that my body requires food, and organizing the hell out of *my* life 
(and the life of anybody else who seems to be crying out for it!-- 
I granted my co-worker a very useful and fun mini-therapy-session 
during our luch break!).  I also feel like I'm giving off a lot 
of heat.   
 In other words, I really uncorked something here!
 
 I don't know if things are going to continue at this pace 
for any length of time or not.  The change feels pretty solid, though, 
and, like I said in my intial introduction, I've been doing my own 
brand of bodywork (originally based on Gestalt Therapy) for 5 years now. 
 I am OK!  I am not asking for advice!  Nor am I bragging-- 
I am informing you, in case I spontaneously combust!  ;) 
 Is this an example of synchronicity, or what?  In any case, 
it's an example of being in the right place at the right time 
(and with the right tools-- the internet) because you people are 
really, really amazing.  I wonder how much my being on this list 
has to do with my progress lately.  Interesting question, huh? 
Anyways, *thank you all* very much for sharing your own fascinating 
stories and observations, your own wisdom and humor, and probably  
most of all your LOVE.  See you around.  And keep in touch.

I cannot say that dancing has ever brought me to an OB experience but I will 
say that it has proven to be very good for putting me into trances and deep 
meditation afterwards.  Drums seem to have this affect on me as well.  I 
think it is the sound when it is drums and the vibrations of dancing when I 
am dancing.  The dancing is only if I am by myself and only if I am dancing 
to solitude type music or native music with drums.  I have no idea how to 
dance this way I just go with the flow of the music.  thats why I prefer to 
do it by myself as I am sure I look really foolish when I am doing it.

Dear Geoffrey: 
Verification through sensing of your past and present aura verifies your 
situation through which you went. 
Will you prefer to inform the following : 
1. Are you feeling >quite< normal and whatever job you are doing , are 
you 
doing with proper attention , without  any problem.
 
R:I don't do much work.  Sometimes I do sculpture.  I get a natural high 
when I am de focused  
and am not that productive any more.  I have no problem working except a 
lack of motivation. 
I do support myself in a minimalists kind of way.  Sometimes I feel like 
a"space cadet".
 
3.What benefit was your Tao practice of semen retention. What you gained 
with that.
 
R:A tremendous amount of life force is lost when men lose their semen(for 
women it is their 
period where energy is lost).  By keeping the energy within the body it 
rejuvenates the entire  
being.  Try pressing on the perineum just before, and during orgasm.  It 
is that easy. 
Try it for a week and see what you think.  There is a meditation for 
women that prevents their 
period.  Two girl friends have done it successfully.  I recommend the 
books by Mantak Chia.
 
4. How is your sex urge this time.We are sensing that aura of your sex 
chakra, testicles and spermatic cord, protstate gland is towards higher 
side 
comparing to the balanced aura everywhere.
 
R:You are correct.  I am working on redirecting it.  This is my biggest 
challenge at the moment. 
I've always had a strong drive(I'm a ray one in Bailey terms) .  If I 
don't move the energy I get 
real tired and can't sleep.  It is easy to not think about sex, it is the 
sleeplessness and tiredness 
that gets old.
 
5. Do you suggest others also to take up Tao practice of semen retention.
 
R:Yes, I highly recommend it.  The seed is the fruit of the body.  It is 
like pruning a rose bush.   
You will flower more.
 
6.How are you practicing in your spiritual development.
 
R:I mostly just exist.  I am doing a 10 day Vipassana meditation in Sept. 
followed by a three  
week fast.  I think most people would be bored with my lifestyle.
 
7. Do you react to any adverse situation instantly.
 
I don't experience many adverse situations.  When someone asks me a 
question, the words 
just come out.  I don't think about what I'm going to say.   I am not to 
the place of no mind yet,  
I do have 80-90% less thoughts than I did 10 years ago.  I have noticed 
that self-observation 
seems to work against this like someone noted in a recent message on the 
forum.  
 
 
Thank you Gyani for your questions.

Hi Janpa, 
I always know when I'm around spiritual people for my crown chakra heats 
up ,tingles and burns doing its little dance.Same for sacred spaces or 
interestingly enough when I'm being called to prayer or "they" (angels?) 
want to do some work on me. And you do feel a closeness of the soul with 
the person who is "spinning " with you. It's a radiatory heat,yes? 
Spinning with you in,

Wonderer,
 
I am not sure if you wrote this to me privately or not, but I see you 
also addressed to the list so I hope it's okay.

Yes. It is as if you could spend many /years/ doing what ultimately 
seems like nonsense and then one day you change and, like, what the 
hell were you doing all that time. One of the things I've seen a lot 
recently is people using "this is the nineties" as some reasoning for 
whatever. It looks nonsense to me, that people could be in a kind of 
tunnel like that.

Exactly, so we spend totally ages of time going all over the place 
with all the ambitions and goals and achievements but in the end we 
return to the same place. Reminds me of the forrest gump film.

I sometimes have a bit of difficulty not having a goal. Most of the 
time I am in posession of everything.

:-) I am wondering why people don't accept everyone else as equal. I 
keep seeing little groups, packs, hordes of people huddled together in 
their little world of knowledge, couples in love and the whole debate 
about wether to have affairs and how valid it is to love other people. 
I wonder why is it that not everybody knows everybody else and why 
people keep shying away from each other. It's a two-way thing 
relationship.

The list is not bigger than anything it's just a place but it happens 
to be one of those groups I just talked about of which I am guilty of 
wanting to be around a little more than other groups so I think it is 
only normal to wonder why I am here and to question the list turning 
into some kind of a temple. As a hotspot in a cold land it is in 
danger of becoming elitist but I don't think it will.

Good examples. The words are easily written but meaning them is very 
precious. And to tell you the truth I have not tended to be the kind 
of person to say please or thankyou or sorry or goodbuy. I know that 
others find it easier to say those things. Of note, however, is that I 
read a while ago some phrase along the lines of "you are not generous 
unless you give away something you need more yourself". Spooning stuff 
onto other people that you `dont need anyway' is not generosity. Just 
as apologising for something that was too easy for you to accept holds 
no water. You can hear the degree of truth in people's voices, and in 
their faces, and in their manner. If you are sensitive to subtleties 
you know when there are shreds of deception. But I am not sure 
that such sensitivity itself is truthful because it is a way of 
experiencing the reality of things, like an interpreter, despite 
its ability to interpret those subtleties and make them tangible.
 
Thing is with me that I have a number of difficulties but I am very 
aware that they are there. That isn't always the case. I try to 
substitute the failings of my personality with a transcendence of 
personality - to stand back and observe as you say. Mostly I don't 
know if I am finding out that it is better to be better or that it is 
all to be all. It is usual that there are many opinions I can have 
about the same subject, such as joya, born of different degrees of 
deception. Some people though and probably me also just take 
somebody's opinion and hold them to it - "but you said" and "in the 
past". I think some list members have images of me due to channels of 
ease that I opened up previously. I think we all depend on each other. 
It isn't enough to achieve success on your own when there's nobody to 
share it with. I am not sure why people walk around alienated from 
each other, defined by all sorts of image of rank and job and culture 
and nationality. I have a vision of one people and when I hold that 
vision I am sure there is something up in heaven totally delighted. 
Maybe it is my own joy of what, in an eternal sense, is already true. 
It is certainly easier to live in the world knowing that there aren't 
a bunch of animals out there that you are at war with. I even think 
the same is said of all parts of nature. I saw what I would describe 
as `myself' in some animals, and it keeps happening. I think they are 
like equals actually, and increasingly that is unfolding before my 
eyes. Imagine if you reincarnated into an animal body but were still 
totally who you are. It is extraordinary to see so many forms of life, 
and to be inclusive of that, not that nature is seperate but that we 
are all part of nature also.
 
I also know that there is an absolute inevitability to the realisation 
of `heaven on earth'. I hope that is not sounding too prophetic, or 
pathetic. I saw it, that everything will be alright in the end. :)

Maybe Spirit will move the right K readers to go there and answer him?

Jan: Perhaps the terminology has to be changed. Instead of " I am having a K. 
awakening" it would be better to state: "Buddha/ Self/God/Goddess (take your 
pick) is after 'little me' ". God is the hunter, 'little me' is the prey. In the 
"game of God" you are the game, not the doer or controller. Sometimes a severe 
shock, sometimes great fear, mind and body are often operating at or near the 
limits of what can be tolerated. There seems to be one choice: surrender or 
experience like a prey on the run. I would suggest surrender. This way, what 
seems to be frightening turns out to be great. Knowing this, do you still have a 
choice?
