Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I have been wanting to say this for a time - hope I do not ruffle too many K feathers ---this is not directly at any one individual... In my experience when one asks another to guide or teach them there is an inherent bond that occurs. This bond forms the relationship of student/teacher. This bond has certain expectations and protocols associated with it - certain roles. In this K environment we have a very unique situation when it comes to teahcer/student. We have a guide who is open to discussion/ concerned that all work at their own pace/treats each student as an individual and allows for the many K energy anomalies/ a guide who follows the directives of his guides to help us learn about K and follow our guides. One of the main tenets of following the K path is that one needs to surrender totally - this surrendering is to K but in the case of this group we also have an opportunity to surrender to chrism - this makes it much easier for some of us to surrender - we surrender to a live perosn rather than an often invisible little understood force. I have been with this program for nearly one year now and I find that there are many who do not seem to understand the term surrender nor the function of the teacher/student dynamic. No one has to follow chrism's protocols, no one has to follow his directives, no one has to be part of the KAS1 group - we make a choice to be here ,as such, as far as I am concerned there needs to be a level of respect/honor/ a touch of reverence shown to the guide/position. When I read some of the posts directed at chrism and his words I cringe - it thurts me to see students be so blatantly disrespectul to a man who offers his knowledge (free of charge - that is another post ) who offers each person an opprtunity to have a safe and loving K path rather than a hurtful and dangerous one as he experienced; who goes beyond normal tolerance listening and taking verbal abuse ( when he certainly does not have to); who gives all that he has literally to others; who finds ways to lead each student on their particular individual path;who speaks with love and tolerance to all and who asks for nothing in return - never. My immediate response to these posts is " Why are you here? " If one disagrees with what is presented that is fine but to publically criticise the guide and to question what he says because it does not follow your belief systems then " Why are you here? " And then to act the victim because the guide questions your stance or offers his opinion on the matter " Why are you here? " Many of the group and chrism say that instances of negativity are learning situations for all of us and we need to be tolerant of the negativity and I would agree - however there is no room - non at all in my opinion for disrespect and dishonor shown to the guide. We in the west think that we have an inherent right to think/do and say whatever we damn please to whoever we damn please in whatever manner we damn please - NO NADA NIENTE!!! In this K environment I put forth that we all need to look at the guide/student dynamic and ask ourselves " Do I show the utmost respect/honor /reverence to my guide/position? Do I give him the attention he/ position deserves ? Do I offer him my total loyalty in exchange for his guidance ? Other guides in similar situations demand the respect/honor /reverence of a leader- students are expected to give totally in all ways - there is a surrender of self to the guide - there is an expectation that one pay for the service offered. Chrism does not insist on surrender- he does not insist on payment - he asks for nothing - and other than the loyalty that some show to him that is exactly what he gets - It is very clear where my loyalties lie - I have surrendered to chrism and to K totally and as such I would do anything for chrism/give everything to chrism and serve chrism in anyway that is in my power. For doing so I serve K - he is my guide - he is my teacher - he is the one I choose to follow and he is the one that I respect/honor each day because of his gifts to me. One trait that i find marks a K person is knowing when to speak and when to keep one's mouth shut - I feel some of us (including me)need to revisit this trait - you can disagree all you want - you can rant and rave all you want - you can talk about the situation all you want however remember the teacher/student dynamic . chrism once told me that he expects his students to surpass him in level/skills/gifts because they will not only have his strengths/knowledge/experiences to stand on but the strengths/knowledge/experiences of all the guides before him - all the more reason to respect the postition/chrism - for as we respect chrism we show respect to all that went before and I firmly believe these actions have good consequences - YES???

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 i think we do all deeply respect chrism, or we would not be here.. myself, i had a piece of my ego ,ripping off..exorcised! not an easy quest for me.. and i think chrism knew it, he prodded it into the light, where it did not want to be seen, it fought as it was afraid for its survival and then dissolved in k. flames.. chrism knows that this is part of the clearing process.. he stays calm, because he sees what is actually going on.. since then i have no problem , to surrender, and am deeply greatful to chrism, for being there when i was going through the process.. and allowing me also understand the process.. he truely is a possesor of the Sangreal, royal blood.. paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I am going to ruffle a feather or two and rant and rave all I want. , your words hit home and I totaly agree with you on this. Yes, Chrism does expect others to surpass him with energies of Kundalini. His knowledge and undstanding can be overwhelming and hard to take for many new K members and this is a lesson that person will have to learn.

" I hadn't thought of that continuity or cumulative effort before! There is a lot of power in that and it struck a beautiful chord in me. Thank you for that epiphany, ! I very much respect chrism and what he gives to us, sacrifices so that he can give to us and that he is even here at all in the physical to guide us! I feel extremely humbled and can't help feeling unworthy of his very high standard for us of surpassing even him in the future. Wow. Hugs to all and a humble, very respectful bow to chrism!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Thanks for sharing. Just the thought that some word I have spoken has been taken as being disrepectful to or anyone on the group grieves my heart deeply. I have high regards and affections for all and have deep graditude and appreciation for all that I have recieved from each of you. My mind cannot coprehend how someone can be here freely recieving and yet be blatantly disrespectful. Would they really be recieving? I view the neg posts as words spoken from lack of understanding. Most of the time when I make a post I pause and re-read what I have said and say a prayer that my words be taken as I intend. Sometimes I hit send, sometimes I erase. Thank you for sticking around and freely giving of your service and love. You have touch many and helped them to rise up to higher levels. Words cannot express how grateful I am.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Thank you for this beautifully written post. I agree with you and I hope that everyone, new and old alike, will read it over carefully. offers so much to this group out of the goodness of his heart. Things that others charge a lot of money for. We get free "tech support" 24/7 and lots of TLC. I think a little bit of respect isn't much to ask for.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Harmony allows for a smooth flow of information. Hostility blocks information except for what hostility can bring. I choose to work in harmony. I ask that if you must be hostile to take it out of the group discussions. " Not to leave " just take the hostility off and return when you have worked that out. I will be receiving employment soon as I have been without employment for over a year and a half and have dedicated much of that time to the teachings given here, even while traveling. Money has become the issue and it must be addressed. I have a couple of options at the moment and will be considering them and how best I can teach and work at the same time. It may become apparent that I am not answering questions as quickly as I have been. This is why. I haven't filmed all of the videos either but this will be done before I become so focused on money. Just to let you know that this is going to occur soon. - blessings all and my respect to you! - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Nice post, I'm a bit surprised it had to be stated, but maybe that is good. A reminder is always in order. I revere and respect all things with the spark of life. None above the other, to me they are all the same and all are deserving. I have no hierarchy of one " better " than the other. I place no man or women above me, and I place myself above no one at all. Hierarchies are one of mankind's worst inventions. They always lead to trouble. I see guides and teachers everywhere I turn. most are not even aware that they are, for you parents out there how much have your children taught you? I open myself to all that is and everything around me. My teachers lately are the squirrels, and the geese. The geese are headed south already, and the red squirrels are frantic in their food collection. The trees are already bringing on their fall colors. That impending sense seems to have gotten to me. I'm not sure where I got the strength but trees that were alive and growing this morning are now part of about a chord of cut and split firewood. Hard, physical work, especially at my age. I have to use a smaller chain saw now because in the course of age we loose upper body strength. Buggy, soaked with sweat, full body awareness, good for the soul and no need for a personal trainer. I do like the chop wood, carry water. It's me. Splitting wood is the ultimate meditation, something akin to eating peanuts to. Hard to stop when you have the sense and the flow. Just one more. Me and my ax in harmony with the universe. You look at the wood, you sense it, you feel how it will come apart, and you place it just so. You don't pick the ax up and push it down, you swing it, let the weight of it flow, you picture in your mind where the ax will hit. You picture how you want it to be. I've had good teachers and bad teachers, the jury is still out on who I learned more from. I've also been a good/bad/ teacher myself. I taught adult ed for 10 years, electronics theory, and algebra (I just love algebra,find the unknown). Some I could reach, some I could not. A teacher needs to help the flow of knowledge, it is not about I know it so I am better than you. Chrism embodies that and I thank him for it. Hopefully you will all take this as I mean it, language screws me sometimes, and sometimes I think I'm being funny and it turns out not so much. Takes this for what it is worth. My perspective, I'm in a race with K, I'm hoping I can meet her, before that one last breath of this body shows up. I'm old enough to be looking at a long line back, and a short line forward. The looking back is interesting, I've been blessed with some amazing lessons.A lot of days I look back more than I look forward. I think that is normal. I see much more now than I did when I was living it. I'm awash in K and shakti, all the creatures of the day and night know me and share their space with me. Tap me on the shoulder if I'm not paying them enough attention. I learn from everyone here, in equal amounts. I'm thankful for to have created this space, but it isn't always that hits the mark, it is the people and souls that assemble here. Peace Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 There are some good things about aging and the onset of kundalini. First the relief that comes from community invisibility, expectations of old codgers, zero !! So if Shakti takes you by storm and turns you into a social misfit or misanthropic, you don't get the message from "those that have hitherto found you boring and predictable", that you're now letting them down as there's no role diminution or rub-on effect. Though I admit my son threatens if I mention the word "Kundalini" to his latest girlfriend, he'll cease to use my last name !! Age nicely leads to an aerial view of the maze of those pathways of life that largely led to nowhere. No need to say ''I did it my way'' or point to some tour de force because instead you realise you did largely as you were told by flawed role models, media imagery and by fleeting oracles in this and that. Instead, with the lifespan's finishing post looming up, some things such as competitive, acquisitive behaviour, the need to write stern "Letters to the Editor", petty allegiances to some sports team or whatever organisation seem time-and-place challenged and an overcall of your hand. A tiny shred of recognition or "rightness", so what ?? In other words, an exit pass for ego is pretty much available for the asking. Imho, the regrettable part of age (other than possibly resigning oneself to bite-sized portions of the 5 Tibetans), is the hard fact that the most easily and accurately recalled memories are those of one's youthful trial-and-error days when the errors (perhaps exaggerated by their seminal uniqueness in one's life history) now seem catastrophic, badly hurting innocent and caring people. Dealing with these retrospectively, for an older person who no longer has the luxury of seeking forgiveness from their "victims" , is the peak challenge of the Safeties and the single most powerful tool in cutting through those blockages that lie in the path of Shakti .

I'm thankful for Chrism to have created this space, but it isn't always that hits the mark, itis the people and souls that assemble here.*** i absolutely agree with you here merlin, our group as a teaching entity , is the ultimate! and resonate with sarita too, learning from her kids , i learn so much from my kids daily... paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Thanks for the warning Chrism. It looks like I may have to get a job too after 10 years of not working out there. It may be this time next year before James will be able to get his drivers licenses back, even then he may not be able to get CDL's. It's really the pits. If they could have found something wrong with him and given him some drug to fix, he would be back working by now. Right now we are waiting for a court date to try and fight it, but it doesn't look promising. For any who are willing I would appreciate prayer for our situation.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 , Thank you for your post -- it echoes many of my feelings as well. Often, I have wanted to respond to the type of post you reference with a simple: Why are you here? Alas, my emotions and intellect take over, my words snowball, and I end up writing lengthy diatribes. A good lesson for me when I reread my responses afterwards. Thanks, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
