Hi steve, Granny sends her love. She is warming up to Father Anthony Demello. She likes to remind you this - "Don't forget your prayer before you sleep". Good night. - LimA

Hi falcon, I am moved by this from you in your "Greetings" thread at the Welcome section - "The only stream I wish to get lost in is from the ever loving source. The spirit that is plentiful with inspiration and direction. My heart yearns for the self expression of the divine". I will address this thread from you around the topic of Kundalini and not on the topic per se. Why? I look at and live Life as an on-going process. I am uncomfortable with dogmatic embrace and rigid adherence of cognitive processes. Having said that I am not agnostic and I like inclusiveness. ================================================================================== I'm not sure if the Kundalini is absolutely necessary for realization, awakening, enlightenment. Or is it? I am of the view that Kundalini (K) is good for realisation... But I will not opt for "absolutely necessary" as K is ever evolving. What are your thoughts bums? My thoughts are experiential. 1. If it is a prerequisite, should one worry about attaining it (prioritize)? I followed (and still following) the K path to be where I am now. 2. Or will it unfold naturally as one progresses among a humble path to samadhi/realization through Samatha and Vipassana? Per your humble path - I believe K will unfold naturally. Go for the journey and not the destination. * Meaning no direct intention on energy work required as the natural unfolding of ego and dualism fades Yes and no. *(disclaimer: I know it may be hard to distinguish because energy is interconnected to all thoughts, emotions, state of being, etc. but you get the idea) For me simplification comes naturally with K Also - Bonus question(s): 1. Does the connection between the third eye and crown energy centers need to be opened before hand, or will the kundalini just blow through it all? At the onslaught - I addressed my first three chakras with some priorty~ a very trying time. But thereafter the upward flow is quite smooth. It will be very good if your seven chakras are aligned and energized as One. "Blow" is a expectant word - expect nothing. 2. Is there a difference in effect of a partially open and fully awakened third eye? I don't know and I will give this question a miss. - LimA

Hi Steve, Robin robbed the rich with falsehoods? Do you remember what the Taoist Immortal told me about a persons ego? No. Do you know what they say about people who wear cowboy (or cowgirl) hats indoors? No - please share. I noticed that the two magically changed sides during their performance - yin <=> yang? A good weekend. - Anand

Of course it makes sense.

Meditate in The Void wu-wei-lessly? This is not a bait.

I am that told we have three dantains - so is there a middle self (s)?

p Hi 3bob, Thank you. Hi rocala, What do you think of 3bob's sharing? - LimA

But of course - you did not come from Hilter's passion fruits or those of his cronies No need - we are all inclusively human beings.

Good morning Dada-da, You have German blood? I am Chinese - so am I part of Lao Tzu? I am not part of everyone else. I am only parts of my parents - their jelly bean/sEEd. Part of me came from my Dad's passion fruits, A great weekend. - LimA

Hi steve, On 'self' - it is good to be selfless. My Granny told me - never be selfish. - LimA

I am not thinking of what you call is 'nature'. I am thinking of NATURE which is self sustaining with its 'dependent's and 'independent's.
