Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Chrism's writing along with all his teachings has always been the expression of his ego viewpoint or his positionality, such as his opinions.Everything in the universe radiates a specific frequency or minute energy field that remains in the field of consciousness permanently. Thus, every person or being whoever lived and aything about them including any event, thought, deed, feeling, or attitude, is recorded forever and can be retrieved at any time in the present or the future.The person becomes more "right brain" in higher consciousness. In lower consciousness, an incoming stimulus is rapidly radiated to the emotional centers, whereas, in a spiritually oriented person, the faster track goes from stimulus to prefrontal cortex and then to the emotional center. In highly-evolved spiritual people, the incoming information is processed through the etheric prefrontal cortex and then goes by induction to the physical neuronal circuits in the brain.Groups, such as Kundalini Awakening System 1, whom requires a preapproval to just read their "opinions" of what is Kundalini fall in the category of those other groups that have requirements involving, attendance, membership (thus one must press the "join this group), and group commitments which are fallacious. The teachings of this chrism are not even close to the various interpretations of the actual teachings of the original great teacher/founder/avatar. Wording is of pragmatic value.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 You are certainly entitled to your opinion, and that is what it is, an opinion, but I just don't happen to agree with it. If I may speak to you about my journey.. and how I got here, maybe it will help you understand why so many of us are here. I searched for months trying to find solace, support and understanding of what was happening to me and my body. I was extremely frightened, and thought I was losing my mind. I ended up in the hospital with a panic attack at one point, it became so severe. I spent hours on my knees in prayer seeking answer, and for whatever reason, they did not come. So I kept searching.... One day I was led here, and for the first time in months, I had a basic explanation as to what was happening to me. To find others experiencing the exact same thing, and discussing their symptoms, was a God Send. For the first time I felt comforted, knowing that I was not crazy, and others were going through the same thing. and the other members have never imposed their beliefs on me, nor would I ever allow anyone to do just that. We all share our beliefs, our experiences, just as you have shared yours, and for me personally,..... I accept what feels right for me, and dismiss the rest. That is the beauty of this forum, is that everyone feels welcome to express their own beliefs, and no-one is judged or criticized as a result. If someone were overly harsh I would just toss it up to someone having a bad day, as we all have them. I know I can snap at my children when I have had a bad day. In any event, I just wanted to respond to your post. I didn't totally understand all of it, and got lost a few times, but I will re-read it again and try and follow what you are saying.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Dear " smile forme " , I have re-read your post and here are my comments. I placed your text in quotations, and my comments follow. " The downside is the risk of following a teacher whose motivation is control. This can be suspected when followers are given personal life directions such as the Safeties, instead of being led to look within themselves for answers by following inner spiritual work. " That statement implies and would include every single mental health care professional or counselor, or pastor of a church , works with their primary motivation as control. I have been given personal life direction from all of the above, and I never once felt as though they were trying to control me. " A genuine transformational spiritual experience is confirmed by its very positive and often profound influence on a person's life. " I Will agree .. . I feel I have had a genuine spiritual transformation in my life, over the years. And I think that this board has enhanced that transformation process. Since coming here, and finding answers to some of my questions, I would say that my spiritual journey has been less difficult, the quality of my life has greatly improved, My family has commented that I am much more calm and relaxed, my co-workers have commented how much more at peace I seem. I feel a greater desire to serve others , now that I have more control of my life, and not riddled with anxiety daily. I do my best to forgive quicker , as a result of Chrism's posts regarding forgiveness. " Some teachers have messianic delusions of grandeur, who claim to be in " exalted states " I would agree some teachers may suffer from this, however I have always felt a warm sense of humility when reading Chrism's post. I have heard him say more than once that he does not consider himself any different or better than anyone else. " To the modern mind, science is " real " and " objective " , whereas the nonphysical phenomena and experiences of a mental or experienced nature are considered of questionable authenticity, and subject to dought or arguement. " Not sure how to respond to this,.....other than to speak from personal experience. To the modern mind and science, my daughter had an illness and should have never been able to recover from her illness, and would be dealing with it for her entire life, Medically and scientifically speaking, it was not possible to recover. However following a healing prayer service for her, her blood lab work, measured her progress, and her illness was non-existent. Her body began developing much needed antibodies for the first time in her life. The lab results were real, and objective, showing her improvement, however the modern mind doctors were scratching their heads as to how this could have happened. There was no doubt that it happened, but the medical community were at a loss to offer any scientific reason as to how it happened. " Reasonable people would not want to risk themselves with an automobile, or a house, or a doctor or an investment that is questionable, yet here in Kundalini Awakening Systems 1 they are willing to blindly sacrifice their spiritual journey to a very very questionable teacher. " I am not aware of anyone blindly sacrificing their spiritual journey as a result of coming to this board. I know I certainly have not. If anything I am drawing closer to God, and I feel as though I am growing spiritually within my own faith. " chrism teaches to " release " love, in another words negate God's essence. " I would disagree here. Jesus taught us to love your neighbor as yourself, and that would involve releasing love. I don't feel that Jesus negated God's essence. " A teacher, a real teacher that is, is a servant of truth " I would agree, and I also think a real teacher understands that we are all individuals and each person comes to their own truth in their own way, and in their own time. " A real spiritual teacher, teaches only God's Truth, " Again, we all come to truth in our own time and way. That statement above has a sense of arrogance, and over bearishness to it. In other words, I got the feeling when I read that statement, as if you were saying, ... you better believe what I believe or you are wrong. These are the only comments I have smile forme. I wish you only the best in your quest for the truth, and will pray that you are blessed with peace, love and the strength to love unconditionally.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well, you are certainly experiencing pain and anger. I hope you are able to leave these behind and move on to brighter, happier states of attention soon. Though I fear this may stoke you to further diatribes, here's my response to your post. Some of it is tongue in cheek. If you laugh, you'll feel better. (Smile for me.) > Chrism's writing along with all his teachings has always been the expression of his ego viewpoint or his positionality, such as his opinions. I've been studying spirituality for a long time - I'm no " naive " spring chicken. (Don't even have a chicken suit...) As far as I can see, Chrism's recommendations come out of love and a desire to help those who are experiencing kundalini activity, not a desire for ego aggrandizement. > Groups, such as Kundalini Awakening System 1, whom requires a preapproval to just read their " opinions " of what is Kundalini fall in the category of those other groups that have requirements involving, attendance, membership (thus one must press the " join this group), and group commitments which are fallacious. You make it sound like an ordeal. How hard is it press " join this group " ? You can just as easily check " Leave this group " under " edit groups " . There are no attendance requirements or group commitments. By the way, how can a group commitment or attendance requirement be " fallacious " ? I think in anger, you're not expressing yourself clearly. Never mind the butchery of English grammar. >At one time, back in the 1950's, before anti-psychotic drugs became available, there would be two or three " Jesus Christ " patients in the hospital at the same time. To the patient, the experiences were experientially " real " (There was a also queens and Napoleons). Even after the 1950's (that would be the 1960's, when pro-psychotic drugs became available), I know I have had incarnations as several queens and as Napolean - often simultaneously. In one of my incarnations as a queen, I once ate a Napolean. I may even have eaten a Napolean when I was Napolean -- who knows? But seriously, what does this have to do with the price of tea in China? No one here is claiming to be Jesus, Napolean or any historical queens. > The downside is the risk of following a teacher whose motivation is control. I've never read so many recommendations from a teacher that ended with the words " Your choice. " Everything I've seen so far stresses that any guidance you consider accepting (inner or outer) must be accompanied by free choice. >This can be suspected when followers are given personal life directions such as the Safeties, Oh, puh-lease. " Personal life directions " are common to all esoteric paths, especially ones that deal with powerful energies. Even the exoteric teachings of all the major religions offer personal life directions. (I would follow the ten commandments, Jesus' recommendations re love thy neighbor, and the niyamas of raja yoga, except I don't like to be given " personal life directions " ....) >instead of being led to look within themselves for answers by following inner spiritual work. Can't have it both ways in the same sentence, Smileforme. Either offer no " personal life directions " , or instruct people " to look within themselves for answers by following inner spiritual work " , which instruction is itself the giving of " personal life directions " . If you don't like the safeties and want to follow some other set of practices say so, but be honest enough to acknowledge that any recommendations or instructions, including " look within themselves for answers by following inner spiritual work " , are all ways of giving " personal life directions " . As far as I can tell, the teachings offered here do indeed encourage people to " look within themselves for answers by following inner spiritual work " -- I don't see any contradiction. > Some teachers have messianic delusions of grandeur, who claim to be in " exalted states " (chrism, time and time again claims Kundalini experiences that are not consistent not existent). I haven't seen any " messianic delusions of grandeur " here. On the contrary, " time and time again " , reposts his " I'm nothing special " summary of who he is and claims to be (and what he explcitly claims not to be). You may find it instructional to reread that. > No chanting, no prayers to a non-existent deity called Shakti, Shiva or let alone a deity called Kundalini. If you don't believe in Kundalini, why are you here? > Reasonable people would not want to risk themselves with an automobile, or a house, or a doctor or an investment that is questionable, yet here in Kundalini Awakening Systems 1 they are willing to blindly sacrifice their spiritual journey to a very very questionable teacher. This is where, along with your later references to " People with low levels of consciousness " and " all of you naive folks " , you try to win us over by insulting us. Dale Carnegie may be able to help you. >Associations with Kundalini Awakening Systems 1 for the need of approval by others with acceptance weakens spiritual responsibility or accountability, creating a negative attitude in awareness. I'm not here for the " need of approval by others " . I am here to experience Kundalini, to share Kundalini-related experiences and for support when the going gets tough. And to learn from whose who have walked this path before me. >How can anyone possibly leave their state of beingness stuck to a wall, or a toilet seat for that matter? So that's where I left my state of beingness... > Statistically, the most succesful resolutions to these types of recoveries from pathological liers (chrism), is self-honesty. A remarkable assertion. Also incomprehensible -- never mind the grammar and spelling. Statistical assertions usually cite reference studies. And what is a resolution to a recovery? And why would I want one? > The veil has been lifted on chrism. I am sure if he was caught by all of you naive folks, with his " always in hand " beer and his continuous marijuana joint in his lips he'd tell you " his Kundalini guided him to do so " . Others have commented on this already. pointed out the difficulty of rolling a joint while holding a beer " always in hand " . Still, stranger siddhis have been known to manifest. If you do acquire this siddhi, you probably get the associated ones like being able to sleep, drive, cook, wash the dishes, go to the bathroom and even have s*x while continuously smoking a joint and holding a beer always in hand. If you do not have these siddhis, please do not attempt any of these activities. Your state of beingness might get stuck to the wall, or worse.... But I digress. If you're trying to shock me with some sort of expose of moralistic impropriety, you're barking up the wrong tree. Your allegations sound pretty tame compared to some of the things one hears about the various sages, saints, mystics, siddhas, aghoris and ecstatics down through the ages.... In closing, I strongly recommend silly movies and all things humorous -- great way to get out of a funk. You can't be angry if you're laughing. Again, smile for me.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 ok guys, you know i am quick to respond when a response is needed in defense; but obviously this diatribe requires no response.........methinks thou dost protest too much........... this venue is not about chrism. it is a very close-knit group of spiritual seekers who would probably give a kidney to any of the others, and warmly, openly, and lovingly accept people who do not wish to "trash" others. do i agree with everything written? "h*ll No. but I read, I accept the other's opinions, and feel if there a need for prayer for their safety, i release that to the God of my understanding, as I hope they do for me when i write something "off the wall".............and more often times than not, i learn something, or see myself, or just give thanks for my many new friends who are so kind and loving. so blessings, sir or madam, may you find peace in your heart. although separately, we may be totally dysfunctional; as a group, we function quite well, thank you. namaste, julie--- On Fri, 8/1/08, djgottlieb <dgottlieb wrote: djgottlieb <dgottlieb Re: chrism's kundalini experience Date: Friday, August 1, 2008, 6:09 PM Well, you are certainly experiencing pain and anger.

I've never read so many recommendations from a teacher that ended with the words "Your choice." Everything I've seen so far stresses that any guidance you consider accepting (inner or outer) must be accompanied by free choice.>This can be suspected when followers are given personal life directions such as the Safeties, Oh, puh-lease. "Personal life directions" are common to all esoteric paths, especially ones that deal with powerful energies. Even the exoteric teachings of all the major religions offer personal life directions. (I would follow the ten commandments, Jesus' recommendations re love thy neighbor, and the niyamas of raja yoga, except I don't like to be given "personal life directions". ...)>instead of being led to look within themselves for answers by following inner spiritual work.Can't have it both ways in the same sentence, Smileforme. Either offer no "personal life directions", or instruct people "to look within themselves for answers by following inner spiritual work", which instruction is itself the giving of "personal life directions". If you don't like the safeties and want to follow some other set of practices say so, but be honest enough to acknowledge that any recommendations or instructions, including "look within themselves for answers by following inner spiritual work", are all ways of giving "personal life directions".As far as I can tell, the teachings offered here do indeed encourage people to "look within themselves for answers by following inner spiritual work" -- I don't see any contradiction.> Some teachers have messianic delusions of grandeur, who claim to be in "exalted states" (chrism, time and time again claims Kundalini experiences that are not consistent not existent).I haven't seen any "messianic delusions of grandeur" here. On the contrary, "time and time again", reposts his "I'm nothing special" summary of who he is and claims to be (and what he explcitly claims not to be). You may find it instructional to reread that.> No chanting, no prayers to a non-existent deity called Shakti, Shiva or let alone a deity called Kundalini. If you don't believe in Kundalini, why are you here?> Reasonable people would not want to risk themselves with an automobile, or a house, or a doctor or an investment that is questionable, yet here in Kundalini Awakening Systems 1 they are willing to blindly sacrifice their spiritual journey to a very very questionable teacher. This is where, along with your later references to "People with low levels of consciousness" and "all of you naive folks", you try to win us over by insulting us. Dale Carnegie may be able to help you.>Associations with Kundalini Awakening Systems 1 for the need of approval by others with acceptance weakens spiritual responsibility or accountability, creating a negative attitude in awareness. I'm not here for the "need of approval by others". I am here to experience Kundalini, to share Kundalini-related experiences and for support when the going gets tough.

Also incomprehensible -- never mind the grammar and spelling. Statistical assertions usually cite reference studies. And what is a resolution to a recovery? And why would I want one?> The veil has been lifted on chrism. I am sure if he was caught by all of you naive folks, with his "always in hand" beer and his continuous marijuana joint in his lips he'd tell you "his Kundalini guided him to do so".Others have commented on this already. pointed out the difficulty of rolling a joint while holding a beer "always in hand". Still, stranger siddhis have been known to manifest. If you do acquire this siddhi, you probably get the associated ones like being able to sleep, drive, cook, wash the dishes, go to the bathroom and even have s*x while continuously smoking a joint and holding a beer always in hand. If you do not have these siddhis, please do not attempt any of these activities. Your state of beingness might get stuck to the wall, or worse....But I digress.If you're trying to shock me with some sort of expose of moralistic impropriety, you're barking up the wrong tree. Your allegations sound pretty tame compared to some of the things one hears about the various sages, saints, mystics, siddhas, aghoris and ecstatics down through the ages....In closing, I strongly recommend silly movies and all things humorous -- great way to get out of a funk.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 hello many smiles for me...i hope one day you do find your real internal smile as it is so wonderful...you get there by taking responsibility for yourself first... i leave you the words of another much maligned but very brilliant teacher carlos castaneda..... paula.... Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. a warrior cannot complain or regret anything. his life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. challenges are simple challenges. the recommendation for warriors is not to have any material things on which to focus their power, but to focus it on the spirit, on the true flight into the unknown, not on trivialities. Everyone who wants to follow the warrior's path has to rid himself of the compulsion to possess and hold onto things. self-importance is man's greatest enemy. what weakens him is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of his fellow men. self-importance requires that one spend most of one's life offended by something or someone. the hardest thing in the world is to assume the mood of a warrior. it is of no use to be sad and complain and feel justified in doing so, believing that someone is always doing something to us. Nobody is doing anything to anybody, much less to a warrior. a warrior takes his lot, whatever it may be, and accepts it in ultimate humbleness. He accepts in humbleness what he is, not as grounds for regret but as a living challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Having for the most part been a silent observer, and full member of Kundalini-Awakening Systems, I would like to thank you gracefully for your views and gently request you take a step back and look at yourself, your life, and your being. While I am sure you have all our best interests at heart, the person you should be most concerned about is you. And should this way not be your way so be it let it go with grace, and step out. As for myself, my life and my being, I have considered myself blessed to be apart of this group, and have grown within because of it. So friend, find your path, let 'us' all go and just be.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Chrism doesnt seem to be teaching kundalini per any single set of protocols aside from his safeties. Over and over he makes reference to " the west " and its being a technological society. How this distinction has created an environment that requires unique approaches. I for one am interested in those approaches. This is all in the group archives I suggest reading them. You seem to be K active smileforme but your emotions have become somehow overinflated and twisted inside of this subject matter. Why would you attach so much importance to how another approaches kundalini? Why is what you say anymore truthful or appropriate than what states? You " seem " to have a hijacking mentality. There is further for you to go before you can approach your own ideals. -blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(b) These reactions always contain errors in judgment (judge not lest you be judged) as they are formed only from that individuals limited ego (false self) perception and as such can never contain real truth. © So the only benefit of dissecting and drawing learnings from these " judgments " is in relation to oneself.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hi everyone, my name is Venus and I am new here...well a week or so. Been spending much of my quiet time reading all that is available here, written by Chrism. Today, I read Smilesforme's post about Chrism's Kundalini Awakening and it made me realize that I really don't know anything, whatsoever about this man or whether he is "enlightened' or not, or about a thing he calls a scatterfield that has never been written about before. So this post by smilesforme leaves me with a huge question mark, he is right about how we are trusting our spiritual journey to a person who claims quite a bit but has shown no proof at all. As I said before, I have spent countless hours, since joining this group, just reading. I am a spiritual student, for eons and much of what has written about and his teaching and experiences with kundalini is all but new to me and I am not new to Kundalini believe me. How do you folks know he is the real deal, if you have not walked in his shoes? Spent several months of physical time with him, how do I really know if what he teaches is the truth or something he just made up? What about the beer drinking and drugs? How does he know so much of the lingo? Another concern that I have is his incredible egotistical reaction to smilesforme's courageous post. I have been with amazing spiritual teachers and I tell you none and I mean none would react to such post with such little class, he didn't even go into anything about what smilesforme wrote other than what found that needed to be defended in "an ego" level.I like someone to explain this to me, please. Sorry for the long post, but I had to say something about this, this is a serious matter, it's like playing Russian roulette with my spiritual consciousness by leaving it on the hands of a teacher that might be teaching me bogus opinions of what his ego self wants us to believe.Peace and love,Venusgleno <gleno Sent: Saturday, August 2, 2008 4:58:26 PM Re: chrism's kundalini experienceA couple of points for our friend...

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 WOW! What a thread, I haven't been reading that much lately so I have really missed out on this one. The description of chrism's kundalini experiences sound more like mine back in the 60's and that was great. Now days I'm not a person that would encourage the use of substances to obtain mental states. But if one researches ancient beginnings to divine knowledge you will find some form of outside stimulus. I'm not even going to pursue this because I could hammer this for hours and days. A mention of a cult, WTF as a past cult leader I see no problem, it if almost impossible to assemble more than 3 people together without having the coloration of a cult. This is an association of disassociated people that come together to learn a way and discuss problems and obtain support. Weather it is right or wrong just the fact that there is someone out there that listens and cares has a value and importance to another's survival. As a foot note here this is also how GANGS evolve also so you should become suspicious when we gather our homies together to go out and kick A** on the Buddhists or just do a drive by on Shiva or some other divinity. I am one that does not necessarily agree with chrism's teachings but one that has been in many of the situations that he attests to I can say I understand and that is what it's all about, understanding. From your message manysmilisforme it would appear that your are seeking ultimate truth and attack anything that doesn't conform to what your opinion of that truth would be. That you await the return of the divinity and its rule, and here I will impart a divine truth, it ain't going to happen. Within all of us there is a seed of truth, a point of light, and the trick to finding the ultimate truth and divinity is connectivity with other people. And it all starts with communication. A person quoted a monolog from the X-File series and I felt that it might be apropos at this point in my rant: From cave paintings to the Bible to Columbus and Apollo 11, we have been a tireless force upon the earth and off, cataloguing the natural world as it unfolds to us. Rising to a world population of over five billion people all descended from that original single cell, that first spark of life. But for all our knowledge, what no one can say for certain is what or who ignited that original spark. Is there a plan, a purpose or a reason to our existence? Will we pass, as those before us, into oblivion; into the sixth extinction that scientists warn is already in progress? Or will the mystery be revealed through a sign, a symbol, a revelation?

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Venus if you re-read the post from smilesforme, it was fairly insulting to both chrism and to the rest of us. I personally thought the email from smilesforme was absurd, but that was just my opinion. As for if chrism is the real deal, you will have to decide that for yourself. If you are serious about learning, then take the time and read the message archives and other info in the group. Look at the message he is sending... Whether you believe in the scatterfield or not, if chrism is a fake, what is his motive? I've never known him to request payment of any sort. I've known of many scams in my years, but none were free. But more than that, read other Kundalini books and see if they differ from his overall teachings. It doesn't matter what the rest of us think - what matters is what you think. (And as for your spiritual consciousness, the only one responsible for that is you.)

I'm sure we are all interested to hear about your research, with sources provided of course. How do you folks know he is the real deal, if you have not walked in his shoes? Spent several months of physical time with him, how do I really know if what he teaches is the truth or something he just made up? **I know he is the real deal through my experiences with him over the past few years. I know what is truth through my inner discernment. How do YOU or smiles know that he ISN'T the real deal? It's easy to sling mud and generalized questions at someone, but how about supporting those positions with facts? What about the beer drinking and drugs? How does he know so much of the lingo? **LOL. I know lots of "lingo" and yet I have never even smoked pot. Aside from that, never made a claim to sainthood. He may have done things in his past that he no longer does. Where is the proof that he drinks and does drugs? In this country we are innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proof is NOT on Chrism, it's on his accusers. Another concern that I have is his incredible egotistical reaction to smilesforme's courageous post. I have been with amazing spiritual teachers and I tell you none and I mean none would react to such post with such little class, he didn't even go into anything about what smilesforme wrote other than what found that needed to be defended in "an ego" level. **Personally, I find nothing *courageous* about someone hiding behind a mask slinging mud at someone in their own "home" and showing no respect for the members. Everyone is free and entitled to question and have opinions, but most spiritually evolved people use some semblance of respect when doing so. That's a big clue for me right there. > I like someone to explain this to me, please. Sorry for the long post, but I had to say something about this, this is a serious matter, it's like playing Russian roulette with my spiritual consciousness by leaving it on the hands of a teacher that might be teaching me bogus opinions of what his ego self wants us to believe. **This is very serious. You are entitled to your opinion as surely as any of us are. There is something disturbing to me though about someone who tries to sway the masses against the teacher. If one is trying to discern their own path, that's great and I give kudos to them. But if they are just trying to discredit someone or ruin things for others, then I question their motives, level of spiritual evolution and how much of their ego is in play. There are those of us (me included) that have benefitted greatly from Chrism's teachings. He helps people find their way, get out of pain, resolve personal issues, offers support, I could go on and on... I challenge anyone to find one thing within the safeties that isn't just good clean living. Even if I wasn't inclined to be K active, the safeties are the way I would want to live anyway. If you are for real and not just another profile made up to attack Chrism, then I sincerely hope you will read ALL of the responses with an open mind and that you will use your inner discernment. Best of luck to you. Sarita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
