Kundalini and Kids

Someone noticed that their daughter had mild to severe involuntary

facial tics, that were happening about every 8-10 seconds. Their ex-wife

and this daughter and new husband had been to a spiritual program the

night before. The ex-wife and new husband were sensitive to spirit and

had involuntary movements after their visits to this spiritual program. Their

ex-wife and her spiritual teacher did not think that there was anything to

worry about the child or that the child could not have a kundalini awakening.

They wanted to know how they could look at what was going on with more

peace.

I wrote that I have seen facial tics in a spiritual teacher, that I know

that has contributed a lot to all of us. In other words, one can be quite

an advanced teacher and still have these symptoms. When something

happens to me, I am totally responsible, although I may not be conscious

of why. That is because I am unconscious of what is in my unconscious,

by definition. So, I can attract and receive things that I do not know I

need, but my soul knows what I need. Involuntary movements are part

of that unconscious becoming conscious. That teacher sounds like they are

not conscious of the facts that anyone can be have awakening symptoms,

or that their soul may need to experience awakening that way. That what

we resist, persists. The shortest way through any symptoms that I know,

is to welcome our symptoms and learn how to communicate and make

peace with the spirit behind our symptoms.

Kundalini and Me

I also experienced a process I call Christian Kundalini. I use the term Christian, since Jesus is the one that brought me through the whole process until today. What is "Kundalini"? Random House Webster's Electronic Dictionary 1.0 says "kun-da-li-ni (koon dl ee'nee) n. 1. (in yoga) a vital force at the base of the spine that is activated by exercises." Yoga is just yoking ourself to God. I would add that the exercises are spiritual exercises. The spiritual exercises are different forms of forgiveness and acceptance and and cooperation with spirit and concern for all. That is what I teach now. Our life force will answer to the term Holy Spirit, or any other term that means spirit of God, to where you are right now. God is quite capable of introducing himself, and his son, and does not need others to tell others who he is. Especially, when they do not really know themselves.

The good news is that kundalini can be a faster way to find your spiritual connections. The bad news is that it can be a most difficult way to find your spiritual connections and has risks. I also teach less risky ways to remove our blocks to our enlightenment. They are still forms of forgiveness, acceptance, cooperation, and concern for all. The other bad news is that we only gain spiritual rebirth through the kundalini process. We are still left with the challenge of letting God grow us up again...

The rest of my short story is here.

Only Kundalini?

Do we have to have our rebirth happen by a kundalini

process? No, we may already have had that happen before

we were born and just do not know that. We may have had

part of our process happen before birth and only have to go

through completion of our process. We may have our process

happen so slow we do not know it is happening. The same is

true of our growth processes, we may be growing spiritually

and not know that because of the slowness of our process.

Kundalini is only a fancy name for our process. when it happens

so fast, that we need a fancy name for our process.

The Kundalini Process

Everything in life is a process. What if everything in life is a

kundalini process. What if everything in life is a conspiracy to

rebirth and enlighten us. What if everything is a process to grow

us into the mind of Christ.

Our choice is to either resist our process or to cooperate with

our process. We life and move and have our being in God, how

else could it be? The only question is, how long do we resist?

5 November 1999

What Conspiracy?

What is life teaching us in the long run? It is teaching us how

to love. It is teaching us the value of love. It is relating to us the

value of relationships. It is teaching us the value of friendship. It

is teaching us how to be friends to everyone whether they want

to or not. It is teaching us how to love whether they want to or

not. It is teaching us to be friends and loving no matter what

level of friendship and relationship that they want.

I started my daily page, because it is useful for me to look for some recovery tip or secret each day for my spiritual growth. we and I only need one secret to work on and let it work on me each day. They are secrets because they are usually the opposite of what the majority of society teaches. They must be secret because they are not commonly used. A friend of mine once said "Common Sense is not much in Common.". Now that I have grandchildren I am also writing for them. I would have really liked for my grandparents to have passed on what they learned.

I am including Sunday as it is my formal day of learning the lord most high's secrets. If you would like ask questions, or contribute some of your wisdom, or want to make some comments or want to vote for which day to put on my tip of the month page or tell your success stories, click Michael Foster, M.
