Thanks for comment. All this preoccupation with Lozowick, Da free john, Andrew Cohen, and worst of all E.J. Gold, is a waste of everyone’s time. These people are in the business of preventing your spiritual path, as far as I can see. Recall [...]
A short chapter from one of Gopi Krishna’s books, it is not clear which from this disorganized website of early internet vintage.
Note the way that the distinction of consciousness and self-consciousness (Bennett’s sensitivity and consciousness) arises in Krishna’s formulation under a different pair of terms.
None of these formulations are really adequate, and the question of [...]
The previous post of MBFM is interesting.

For another perspective on this, get and read Gopi Krishna’s book, ‘Living with Kundalini’.
G Krishna was born into a Brahmin family that had its original roots in Kashmir and fled Mogul persecution, taking refuge in the Sikh run regions in the Punjab. G Krishna was born late [...]
A lot of rubbish on kundalini, but of interest since Gurdjieff speaks of the organ ‘kundabuffer’ (more rubbish).
There is something that has to be called ‘lost knowledge’ here, in an evolutionary sense we cannot achieve at the moment. A series of questions.
(which most gurus, even good ones, are unable to answer.) Beware. caveat lector
