 Perhaps there could be some sort of qualifying standard by 
which future subscribers could be screened to determine 
whether or not what they claim as a real kundalini 
experience is indeed that.  
 
Elaine Pagels, in her book about the Gnostic societies 
stated that the people who got recognized as the genuine 
possessors of gnosis had to pass some sort of test that 
amounted to the display of certain gifts that were 
recognized as evidence they actually experienced gnosis.  
 
I'm suspecting that if such a plan were brought to fruition 
there might not be more the three people on the list, and 
they probably wouldn't say much anyway. But... what the hey.. 
purity of spirit requires no censors. 
 
But, one thing is for sure. No one who has ever experienced 
kundalini would ever break rules or guidelines of any sort, 
or act silly, or plagiarize other people's stuff. Their deep, 
profound gnowledge of the workings of the inner mind would 
definitely clash with going against the grain of the 
established practices of society in general. Particularly 
when it comes to attachments. 
 
After all, such people are of the old school and cautiously go 
along to get along by kowtowing to the whimsy of everyone 
who receives the list posts in digest form after they got 
home from working on the assembly line making Tater Tots 
from organically grown potatoes. 
 
Since the digestees are mostly lurkers anyway and hardly 
ever participate in the scintillating discussions about 
kundalini(?), maybe they could contribute in some way to the 
list by writing off-list, puritanical letters to those who 
had the audacity to express a sense of humor, to instill a 
foreboding sense of deep shame, and send copies in 
triplicate to the moderators who could write up a white 
paper on the best way of punishing the perpetrators based on 
the accumulated database of brain-washing techniques that 
works most effectively. And since the subject of moderators 
has been broached, how about uniforms? They gotta have 
uniforms... with varigated epaulets and wide-brimmed hats 
decorated with rare-species plummage. 
 
How about giving lie detector tests to prospective 
subscribers on the condition that if they fail, they get 
bound and gagged and shipped off to work in the gulags of 
Alaska in unheated railroad cars and dumped off for polar 
bear food. That would stop a lot of this foolishness. 
 
I have a lot of other ideas that would bring these disgusting violators into line, but I'm afraid that if they were 
implemented I might be found guilty of violating future, as 
yet uncreated rules and guidelines, and be hung by my own 
petards.
