As for everything happening for a reason - maybe it does, maybe it doesn't - it's all down to interpretation and choice of belief or philosophical theory at the end of the day.



All well-stated--but just had to add: even when things DO happen for a reason, the reason isn't always what we think it is, nor is it always the reason we expect.

Personally, I like to steer clear of anything that is fear-based. Having received shaktipat long ago, and various awakenings ever since, I know that kundalini is not a one-way path to h*ll as some would apparently have it.

Spiritual awakening, or any personal change for that matter, is not for wimps. It always requires a bit of courage, because you have to confront the unknown. If change were easy, there would probably be far fewer battered wives, who, out of fear, stay with what they know rather than take the necessary steps to change and freedom.

I see spiritual awakening in a similar light--go on like this, or move onward to greater growth?
