Dear list-

1. in answer to Hillary's questions-
"Since we are on the subject of religion...:)) I was wondering...
What religious visions/associations/symbolisms/patterns/motifs,
etc. have been part of your K awakening? Did these reflect the religion of
your upbringing (or your pre K religion) or did they reflect other religions
or philosophies? Did these experiences influence a change in your religion?"
My awakening K taught me..... I did not pursue. In my sleep I would receive
direction...."Read the book of Enoch." "The Koran is safe", "learn about
Qumran" "understand the mysteries of Montana", "study Zoroaster" I had
visions....One in particular illumined in me an understanding that all
religions have the "inner" and "outer"...the organized outer and the inner
mystical. The mystical is the root of Truth the same to all religions..
i.e. as mentioned before "a rose is a rose by any other name".... the
"outer" religion" meets the people where their differing cultures and
upbringing allows...It is greatly influenced and manipulated by men (most
well meaning as I choose to believe).
My beliefs today.... I'm a Christian. That's my outer....Why should that
change? Sure, my Christianity means something totally different to me
than most others but that is where I have been placed. Today I'm blessed to
have tremendous influence within realm of others and my presence or the
Divine presence within me sets an example of Love, freeing others too to
question the outer as the sole means and to pursue the inner. The outer
religion is filled with people desiring to understand.....sure many are
confused, angry, cynical and judgmental. Do so many of you really think the
greater good is served by dropping out of "religion"? Or judging any
religion as wrong? If you are so enlightened are you not doing the work of
the Divine by bringing your manifestation of the inner the Truth and
modeling it properly within the frame work of men. Is in not a necessary
step in the evolution of all mankind?

2. Someone posted the message regarding the extreme burning of the Kudalini
fire.
I would point them to Gopi Krishna's story. He writes that he was on the
threshold of insanity when it was finally, after months of agony,
"illumined" to him that the energy had not risen properly ...that only one
energy had risen and not the counter part. He at once concentrated on the
root and brought forward the second energy...which quenched the fire and
brought immediate bliss...and saved his life. Just as electricity has a
positive and negative so too does the Kundalini. This is not something to
take lightly. All that I have read tells me that if the K truly comes to
one through Grace, yes, it very likely unfolds as the Divine wills it and
perhaps it is best not to fight it but to allow. However, if it is aroused
through personal desire (which there is nothing wrong with) or some other
physical or emotional trigger (and the books are filled with countless
examples) one must understand the extreme risks and seek out a teacher with
the true knowing to answer any mistrials which most certainly can arise. To
advise one "give in to it" with out knowing the circumstances, to me,
appears irresponsible. Read to understand. Seek out a teacher! Pray for
the guidance of a Master!
