:)) Way to go, Dharma. The only way is to not worry too
much about what other ppl think.

Yes, that's why it's so sad when ppl only show you
their ego assumptions and little more.
>I do think there's fear...
Definitely, the fear of the unknown and that which is
hard to understand, that which cannot be understood
unless its experienced.
I must admit I would never have understood the
K symptoms and what is meant by them
as they are described by witnesses and
meditators had I not been having the symptoms myself. :)
I can really understand why so many teachings are
secret or only given to the initiated. I used to
dislike the secrets and need to know basis on which
so many religions and traditions are based on, but
I understand more why it is done now. :)
Still, I do agree with Mahatma Gandhi's words that
secrets are a form of violence as well. :)

LOL !!!
You know what, the immediate reaction I get to what
you have just told is that even though many ppl
in the healing and/or new age communities have
heard about K, it is not understood very well
and I suspect, regard it as a myth or
"story" by many ppl. :)
There is only a minority of ppl labeling themselves
as "spiritual" or "belonging to the new age" which
are K active and many ppl who do not regard themselves
as such as are K active. :)
I can understand the disbelief. :)
Objectivly, the descriptions of K do sound rather
out of this word and hard to believe. :D
Best regards,
Amanda.
