LOL!
 
I ain't right. 
That's what I keep trying to tell folks... 
I'm no different than you.

Kundalini 'attacks' both intact egos 
and disbalanced egos.
 
That's a fact.
 
If there's an ego 
(intact or not)
 
it's a limit to be transcended... 
(Kundalini distinguishes no difference)
 
If one has an issue with the fact 
that Kundalini knows no boundaries 
regarding what kinds of egos 
It decides to dissolve, 
than one has a restrictive issue 
with regard to energy in general 
to address...
 
Kundalini dissolves *all* egos 
(intact or not)
 
If anyone wants to claim otherwise 
I suggest checking yourself into the 
nearest mental institution in the proximity 
of the the particular body that influences 
and has hold over you.

So-called 'enlightened folks' 
are no more above 
the average person 
than the average person 
is above the average chimp...
 
Only an inflated ego 
would dare suggest otherwise.

I have a question.
 
How does that which never existed to begin with 
get killed?

That's a metaphor. 
Only a fool could take it literally. 
(see above)

But once flesh is denied 
who knows for sure 
whether or not if 
Mother Universe provides 
a new mechanism or not 
for foolishness 
to be manifested?
