Nor am I attempting to sell the idea of awakening the kundalini as the way to go. But from what I have seen here and there. The kundalini deal suits me best. If I'm going to be living I might as well feel good along the way.
So anyways where did your definition of awakening come from? There is so many I'm having a hard time placing its origin.

You're not understanding me. I am not offering some definition and it came from seeing it myself as I explained in the last post. |

Ironically what I am saying has nothing to do with the brain power to understand it. It only requires that one look within themselves. |

Congratulations! You've found it. Notice also that it is aware and that aware void is you. |

Then why bother to blather on about it? Just own up that you can't say and leave it at that.

??What is this in reference to??
'Awakening' is a verb ... To be 'awake' might be a state.

It sounds good and I like that your conveying your personal experience. As i enjoy reading about someone's personal experience over what so and so said.
I could argue from my experience. I could just as easily say it is when bliss has permeated ones entire being in all conditions of life. From what ever philosophical, perspective, or other thing. From thoughts, to no thoughts, to emotions, or lack of, to all that is that one experiences.
I'm not saying Im right at all. I'm just saying that your idea is yours and doesn't belong to everyone. Perhaps you are saying that. Its can be hard to tell sometimes whom is trying to say what from posts.
In any case my point is who knows what being awakened or what awakening is. I like to think there are as many experiences as there are beings to have one. Some similiaritys and some not. |
