Taking a more serious note....... :D The key to getting through life's unpleasant parts is to simply accept them, and get through them. The struggle is not the unpleasant parts, but the RESISTANCE to the unpleasant parts. So Bhakti makes a good point, and that is, surrender is the key to all of it. ...

What is Perfect?
Someone somewhere stated that an avatar, or God incarnate, would have to be perfect, in order to be God incarnate. My question, then, if this assumption is true, is, then, what is perfect? Who is to determine what is perfect? How do we know perfection? Is there such a thing as the perfect man, or wo...

Re: Nisargadatta quotes
As the pretenses fade, we find ourselves moving closer and closer to our Soul-Self. This is where the Mind becomes even more insidious. Afraid of giving up its hold, the Mind begins to generate uglier and uglier versions of Itself in order to discourage the seeker. Many at this point might give in ...

I don't know if anyone here is old enough to remember the 60's fascination with strobe lights, but I remember them well, indeed, we owned one for a while. If you have danced with one (I mean danced in a room with one on, and all the rest of the lights off), you have the delightful experience of frag...

One additional point that puts things in perspective: Kundalini borders on a kind of insanity sometimes, and that is perhaps the scariest part of the process. Great comfort was given to me when I read something in Ram Dass's book The Only Dance There Is . He said something to the effect that the onl...

Yes, New Moon, I believe that it is ultimately a lonely path, and each of us has to tread it according to our own lights. If we don't, it often becomes a kind of mimicry, or even mis-direction, because, in the end, only each of us is the proper judge of what is good for us and what is bad. That is d...

Nice additions to the thread of this subject from both Bhakti and New Moon Daughter. I note that almost all the books you refer to, New Moon, were some of my favorite books in my own dilemma. In particular, Bernadette Roberts was pivotal for me. There is an indian book called Kundalini something or ...

Perhaps it would be useful in this discussion to separate two very different criteria here: the personal, intimate experience of a devotee or disciple with God, or her Master, and the ramifications of that experience on the individual, as opposed to the political, sociological and historical ramific...

Oh dear, I didn't mean to suggest that these kinds of experiences are ONLY a result of taking drugs. Much the opposite: I too went through many years of anxiety and moments of fear generated by the sudden expansion of consciousness that had nothing to do with taking drugs, since I did not use them, ...

A propos to the relative motion to other bodies: there was someone, can't remember who, but it was some individual who suddenly found himself in a non-separated condition, indeed could no longer define his borders, who, upon riding in a car, could not discern whether it was the car moving, or the st...

Different Perspectives
http://www.zoofence.com/forum/images/imiei/tiger.jpg How's this to explain why there can be entirely different perspectives about the apparently same subject, and yet both can be "true"? If indeed we determine our reality by our consciousness (which, I personally, am fully convinced that ...
