What do you expect the Kundalini to give you? Question everyone?

[Guest guest]

@@@@I think expectations could actually hinder spiritual growth, so

it's good to be asked what expectations we have.@@@@

 

I have read over everyone's post on this and ever since I have been

wondering about this " no expectation thing. " I don't understand

that. Being of a christain background we are taught one is to seek,

ask, and knock and told that we do not recieve because we do not ask.

When you ask for something, you expect to recieve it don't you?

 

Could someone please explain this to me? How does expecting something

hinder one's spiritual growth?

 

If I am working diligently doing the safeties and Tibetans and all

for the purpose of awakening, that is a form of putting one's

expectation into actions even. To me, to do them with no expectation

would be doing them for no purpose. Is it even possible to do an

action, if there was no purpose/expectation/desire behind it?

 

I think there must be something I am not getting/understanding about

the 'no expectation' comments. Could someone explain to me what that

is about?

 

Love,

Linda

A short response would be that its the difference between ego macro

management and micro management. Setting a goal and moving towards it

without being in total control of how that goal is achieved. The

middle path. Christians say " Let go and let God " I see it as similar

to that statement. This goes very well with the Kundalini as well. You

can set the stage but the divine will put on the show! - lol - chrism

Yeah, thanks, you put your intentions out there and let go and let

God. That's the way it's done! That is what I believe. I understand

that.

I am just trying to understand the " Now " no expectation side of

things better.

Good one Linda!

 

I think it is not so much a point of having some goals

but more an attachment to the outcome, " if I don't get

this I will be dissapointed... "

Like some people say, it's the journey not the

destination.

If I do the yoga every day and just expect the spinal

sweep and focus on that I probably won't get it, if I

petition God ,whining , " Please God give it to me " I

probably won't get it.

The no expectations thing is more a way to allow

surrender, a way of saying I want this but I let it go

and allow God to decide how my destiny takes shape and

flows.

I want K but I won't focus on the end result , I'll

let God work it out for me.

Does this make sense?

hope so...LOL

Makes total sense Elektra. Maybe I just thought I was missing

something in there some where, but really wasn't. I like the way you

simplfy things. Thanks!
