I should have known people might get upset...
 
I'll try to explain but first remember one thing, what you have seen in my post 
may be more due to your habits of seeing than to my habit of writing.
 
First:  obediance is a contradiction because the one being obedient is the one 
who needs it, not the one to whom the obediance is given.  While surrender is 
neede, blindness is not.  I wouldn't recommend blind obedience.
 
Also it is prodent to watch out to whom one is obedient.  Obedience to nazis is 
a complicated matter.  Disobedience to nazi's gets you killed.  Ask those who 
went through WWII.  Obedience should not lead or let you do bad things.  Thus 
there is an important place for morality in the world.  I recommend the 
discipline of setting aside a period of days to never tell any lies at all, even 
white lies, even slight deceptions.  When you can do that you might be ready for 
the spiritual discipline of obedience.
 
By understanding it as a spiritual discipline, you can practice it even when the 
person or the orders to which you are expected to be obedient are not completely 
right or good.  Most employees are very familiar with this: being asked to do 
things the wrong way.  Most employees can distinguish between big wrongs, worth 
going to war with the boss about (at risk of losing one's job) and little 
wrongs, which we let pass.  In fact most sons and daughters are familiar with 
this as a daily problem.  In America we first judge our parents before offering 
obedience.  In Asia people first obey and judge with trepidation if at all. 
Thus in Asia the art of obedience is more widely practiced and they condemn the 
corruption of America as due to the spiritual imbalance of our habit of judging 
before we obey.  The truth lies at a place where both extremes are understood.
 
I too had abusive parents, but being obedient to them helped me through it.  I 
too had teachers with sexual designs on me, but from my position, maintaining a 
purity of my intention helped me through it.  The obedience is important for the 
person being obedient.  Any person abusing the obediance of another creates 
horrific karma for themselves (the real nazi problem).  The problem is not 
solved by insisting on doing things one's own way all the time -- that stunts 
your spiritual growth.
 
All this doesn't mean that we shouldn't take effective steps to rid the world of 
nazis and abusers.  In real life situations it is rarely the victims, at the 
time of victimization, who are in a position to do that.  I mean that there is a 
time for obedience and a time for cleaning up the society around us.  Most often 
these are different times and different people
 
Does this make things any clearer?

As one who has also been the subject of indended murder, one has to see  it 
as a part of life.  Life doesn't come nice, as you have realized.  Pablum 
doesn't get one very far.  Life can be compared to waves in the ocean -- 
sometimes they are very big and powerful and dangerous.  But it's nothing 
personal.
 
I suppose the problem with "masters" is the severity of betrayal by them, 
if and when that occurs.  I find that most so-called masters are as 
changeable as the rest of us, and many do not seem to be able to sustain 
their mastery for long -- they fall back into hellish modes in the course 
of their journeys.
 
My current tentative proposition is that it is good to take what a master 
can give for as long as the master is a master, and when that ends, to 
leave it behind and move on.  Does this seem too unfeeling?

Flute,
 
I have had some of my clients ask if I had put heating pads or something on my 
hands when I touch their backs and they cannot see me. The energy gets hot. 
Sometimes, I feel ice cold energy coming from my hands and they tell me it is 
warm. I've had days where I felt like I was "turned on" all day from the 
energy. I usually do not have a lot of side affects from the k energy. I am 
now learning to keep the pelvic area loose and exercised. I did some belly 
dancing classes and it was good to keep the pelvis region exercised. I have 
problems when the energy cannot flow freely. I am also noticing that when i go 
to different places, I have better flow of energy. That is one reason I am 
moving to the West. 
 
As a side note, I have a brother in Ft. Worth. I am planning to move to AZ. No 
mold!!!!! LOL!  My apt is full of mold and mildew.
 
Thanks for sharing, 
Barbara

Subject: Hello! 
Message-ID: <19980825013344.19733.qmailATnospamhotmail.com> 
Content-Type: text/plain
 
Hello, folks!  I just want to introduce myself briefly.
 
I'm Hudson, and I'm working toward a degree in Information Systems right  
now, and at one time I had this interest in Kundalini whose pattern  
follows that of a roller coaster.
 
Anyways, I may have had experiences resulting from it - I'm not really  
expert at knowing this stuff for sure, even though I've read plenty  
about it.  When I was a kid I had heard music inside, without practicing  
any meditation or yoga.  It was totally natural to me.  Didn't think  
much about back then.
 
About a few years ago I figured I could figure out what would happen in  
the future through the use of automatic writing.  It didn't work out,  
because the information I got was 99.9% lies.  However, a short time  
after I was able to hear messages as well as music.  The bad thing about  
that was that I had to spend a couple of months in the hospital.
 
I was in therapy afterward up until mid '97 - the doctors were looking  
at a mental disturbance diagnosis, yet the medicine they prescribed did  
nothing.  And above that, I suspect the doctors were rationalists to the  
point where I felt that they would have been happy if I just resign to  
being an atheist.
 
There were some interesting things happening to me, though, like in 1995  
when I was diagnosed with diabetes (I had too much weight on, probably  
because of the doctors' choice of medicine), but the moment I was on  
insulin, I somehow had the willpower again to not eat so much.  Then I  
felt like I could eat anything I wanted to, and I still lost weight.  In  
April '96 my stomach started churning every morning when I was about to  
get ready for work - and it's been doing that almost every weekday  
since.  However, insulin dependency went down and by last year, I had no  
need for it.  I'm a little overweight, but hey - I'm still healthy.
 
On top of that, I've grown increasingly tired every morning - and it  
shows through the number of yawns I have to take.  The only exception to  
this was when I was on a business trip in Hawai`i - there on one night I  
had about 4 hours of sleep and could still move energetically around the  
next morning at 5:00 am.  Not even 9 hours of sleep here on the East  
Coast has that effect (this was before and after the trip - the day  
after I came home, it started all over again).  There are also times  
when I yawn that it feels like there's either pinching or massaging  
going on in my head - it's like someone's working on my brain or  
something.
 
There are also many times when either my head or entire body feel like I  
could have a fever, and yet my body temperature is absolutely normal.
 
Finally, each night for the past 21 months I go to bed and then I get  
this weird sensation - and I don't feel comfortable describing it in  
much detail at all in front of everyone.  But anyway, one part of my  
body is always affected, and I have very little control over it at this  
time, no matter what I do to stop it.
 
I know a couple of things mentioned are signs of a Kundalini awakening,  
but I don't know about the others.  I'd rather not make a judgement call  
just yet.
 
I'd like to know about this so-called phenomenon, but for now I'd like  
to figure out how to stop the stomach churning and decrease the morning  
fatigue and get back some of the control of my body that I lost.  Two  
questions: how does one "submit" or "surrender" to the Kundalini - I  
can't really picture this in my mind yet.  And also, are there exercises  
which are suitable for a very busy person, especially one who has little  
privacy. . . the ones in "The Five Tibetans" don't seem to fit into my  
schedule these days.
 
(I remember the days when this list was up back in '95, by the way - I  
bailed out before they took it down for a while only because I had many  
commitments to deal with.  Just a footnote.)
 
Well, any hints, comments, etc. are appreciated.  Thanks!
 
-Hudson

I had someone on this list give me a gentle jab by calling me 
'master kevin' -)
 
Well, I'll risk that title, (in jest) if I must to speak my 
mind -- I just want to share some of the pot holes I've  
encountered in my very rocky spiritual path.
 
#1 - I'm pretty dubious about this 'obedience to a tainted source' 
thing myself.  I mean, come on, there's no race here - we will never 
'move on' until we can make the present day a paradise, without 
help from anyone whatsoever -- here and now is divine, its the 
only moment we will ever have as a human.
 
#2 - Like everything else the human ego has an important function, 
number 1 of which is to prevent us from being a lump of unambulatory 
jelly.  I'd further add, that the ego allows for us to focus on 
one small thing at a time, so that maybe we can learn from it, rather 
than being overwhelmed by 'the all'.  The ego needs to be lean 
and pure, and to work in concert with the other forces and players.

I often feel coolness or wetness, tingling, poking, and/or pressure in  
the crown region on and off through the day. 
 
I while ago, I had a dream that I was sitting on a chair and the base of  
my spine started getting REALLY hot.  I ignored it for a while but then  
thought I might be sitting on a hot coal and get burned so I got up and  
looked at the chair.  A flame suddenly started burning from within the  
chair so I took it outside.  Then I woke up a little and could still  
feel some residual warmth.  Next time, maybe I will remember to stay on  
the chair and let it continue as it didn't actually hurt, just very  
intense. 
 
I also tend to wake up about 2AM just broiling hot.  After about 10  
minutes, I cool down again and go back to sleep.  Also noticed the  
broiling phenomena right after returning from longer OBEs.

>I have been experiencing many changes...most interestingly, the feeling  
on the top of my head (crown chackra area) that water is dripping on my  
head...i feel for it, it feels so real...i can't believe it isn't  
actually wet!!!  i also look in the mirror to check also...this feeling  
usually comes when i am doing 'healings"...pranic/reiki, whatever you  
like to call it. :o) when i am having the deep feelings of unconditional  
love and compassion...i am wondering if this an 'annointing' and if  
anybody else has felt this particular sign...also..i had an experience  
at night, dreamlike but real...that fire was ripping through my body..up  
the chackras...husband says i get really really hot at night at  
times...i feel this also when awake...feels good, an inner warmth,  
burning...not uncomfortable...any responses will be appreciated and  
welcome...
