Hi,

Well, we disagree on much of this - but it is a big world.

I tend to believe that we create our own reality and that the language is
interwoven with the reality. Call a rose a turd and it would become a turd.
Or in other words - the name and vibration is not just learned and we do
not just associate a few letters with an object and that is it - the name
(if it is not a misnomer) embodies the essence of that object in a way that
must transcend ordinary viewpoints. One can cross certain cultural barriers
with some simple gestures or facial expressions - but language conveys
layers of meaning in the vibration and in the tone. Some combinations are
soft and gentle others rough, this is part of the magic of language.

Yes, many ways of viewing the world. Truth just means something is
consistent within a certain framework. Each framework is different though -
whether on top or underneath - different road, different language -
different. This is the point - tune in to a country music station and you
will hear just that.

A soft structure can have "crystal" like properties. I would think that
humans have always had the capability of receiving thoughts and pictures.
So am not sure if there is an evolution or a devolution going on. I tend to
think the verdict is still out whether or not we are advancing spiritually,
or even if that concept makes any sense.

This was Bob's point that I was agreeing with. I am sure that you would
agree that the concept of kundalini is much more complex than an aura - We
are linguistically bound. And in as much as we can incorporate and
understand the meaning of the sanskrit, then that is one historical
reference to employ. Thus, it is much less an issue of progressing to the
sanskrit, then exploring sanskrit as one way of providing a linguistic
framework for the experience. But since we get into a never ending cycle of
what takes precedence, the language or the experience, we need to go beneath
the words and the experience. Underneath is the act of creating and of
destroying beliefs. This is the fundamental process - but one that is not
liked by the establishment.

K can have no manual and needs no manual. Everyone carries their own
blueprint encoded in their own DNA - everyone should be encouraged to follow
their own spirit and be encouraged to have spirit. Manuals are for the
unspiritual. However, that is not to say that K can not be studied and
explored and general guidance provided. A guide rule for everyone seems to
be, follow you own spirit, follow your own path.

peace and balance,
