suggestion to the kundalini-awakening group--a proposal

[Guest guest]

My two cents: On one hand, the beauty of this newsgroup is its

friendly and congenial climate. On the other hand, I also feel

overwhelmed by the amount of posts (and I am certainly one of the

main culprits, LOL!). I can see how people who don't have a whole lot

of time to spend online and are eager to learn about the K may feel a

bit lost at times.

 

Here is my proposal:

 

- Whenever one of us posts a request for help, all those who want to

send prayers and healing could respond offline with a private

message. This should keep a few non-K related messages off the list.

 

- Posts about individual progress make an important contribution,

too. We may want to respond on the list when we have some information

of public interest. If we just mean to share words of encouragement,

we could do that individually with an e-mail rather than a post.

 

We could try this for a couple of weeks, to see how it works for

us... And I'll try to stick with it myself :-)

I do not agree. I really enjoy reading some of the responses.

That's what make this place warm and friendly. What will we do with

newcomers? Repost the guidelines every other day? Those with

limited time can read the posts they find interesting directly on the

forum or receive a daily digest (that's what i do).

 

I really enjoy the insights of others on whatever the subject might

be, but I do agree with the person who asked about cutting the dead

text.

 

Remember that this is a forum. There are lots of web pages with good

informations on kundalini (especialy the pages that Glen posted

about).

 

A little touch of humour :

What is the best food for the soul? Kundalinguini hehe!

That's a great ideal Selena, that would help cut down somewhat.

Danny,

 

I agree. For me the posts show me I'm dealing with

real people not an anonymous name on the internet.

I think it would be fair to take into account everybody's views, and

try to come up with a compromise that is acceptable to all. Censoring

the friendship level in this list would be a mistake; on the other

hand, if somebody expresses a concern, they should be listened to

carefully. Discussing our format as a list is not about creating an

unpleasant or antagonistic environment. Rather, it's about making

sure that we are mindful of the plurality of views in this list and

respect them all.

 

Ideally, each of us should be able to make a few adjustments. If we

like to write off-topic, perhaps we can exchange some of these

messages off the list instead of posting them. If we are irritated by

the volume of unrelated personal messages, we might make an effort to

focus on the good vibes that these messages spread to the whole list,

and find a different means to sort out what is relevant to us.

 

Gandhi used to say " be the change you want to see in the world. " Of

course here we are talking about a very small change, but even such a

tiny act of good will can be part of our service to humankind--those

with whom we agree, and, most importantly, those with whom we don't.
