    Woke up this morning and felt the serpent rise up my spine towards the head. It’s fair to say that it was quite pleasant. Anyway, I can no longer deny the truth of this phenomenon any more than I can stop myself being pulled inexorably and inevitably towards Paganism.

    Protestants have often labelled my tradition, Catholicism, as ‘baptised Paganism’. Nothing could be further from the truth, as it has become blindingly obvious that my religion suppressed and subverted the old Pagan religion of ancient Rome for its own ends. Catholicism is no more Pagan that fundamentalist, evangelical Christianity is. An example is today’s feast of the goddess Bona Dea in ancient Rome. She holds aloft a snake (clearly symbolising Kundalini), and has often been syncretised with the Virgin Mary, which is quite false. The latter is depicted crushing a snake, not holding it aloft.

    So, taking all these things into consideration, along with the fact that I was given NO help WHATSOEVER by my faith in trying to understand Kundalini and had to find out most of it through the internet, I am going to leave my tradition for Paganism, because I will never be happy where I am.

    Best wishes,

    The history behind the word paganism is fascinating. From your post, I assume you are using the word to refer to spiritual teachings other then those of Judaism Islam or Christianity.

    You may find Joseph Campbell study on Kundalini Yoga very helpful. “Masks of Oriental Gods: Symbolism of Kundalini Yoga,”  and Lecture II.1.3 The Sound Aum and Kundalini Yoga

    The audio books are great and can be found http://www.jcf.org

    Judaism, Islam and Christianity are teaching lies. I say that because all my experiences involved the gods of ancient Rome, with a brief period involving Odin of Norse mythology. And please understand this, I did not invite this thing to happen. I have never done yoga or been interested in Hinduism. It happened on its own. I was a ‘mainstream’ Christian, but all that is over now and there is no going back. I am still active as a church organist within the Catholic Church, but all that is going to have to come to an end in the New Year. Trouble is, I don’t know where I go from here, because the beer-swilling antics of some neo-Pagans puts me off.

    Best wishes,

    Its possible that organised religion, “orthodox” or “pagan” is not for you. There is no requirement of having to join a group in order to explore your path.

    Perhaps taking a step back from religion for a while might help create some space for you discover your next step. Exploring Kundalini Yoga as a practice could also be beneficial in creating that space.

    Joseph Campbell study into the stories we live by is a neutral look into religious teachings from around the world including the “pagan”. His work might be a great resource for you.

    Not all paths are suited for everyone. The anger your experiencing suggests that a break from spiritual seeking may be called for.

    Are you able to enjoy life without needing to explain it or following religious teachings and practices? If you can avoiding  all such teachings and practices may be your path.

    I wish you well on your journey.

    Peter, what is happening to me is external. I have energies coming into my head. Last night, a really heavy wave of energy entered my head and it caused my computer to click noisily. (This happens quite regularly).The computer was turned off and the power socket was switched off at the wall. I don’t know what the energy is for, I only know that sometimes it moves down my spine and exits via the palms of my hands and the soles of my feet. Sometimes I have to take my footwear off because the energy gets blocked in some way by it, which can be uncomfortable. An unfortunate side effect of the energy is that its potency appears to be damaging my eyesight. When the energy enters me, it forms a kind of cap on my head. Although I cannot see this ‘cap’, it’s shape feels conical, like the caps depicted in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. I know this sounds like some weird Quatermass sci-fi shit, but the plain truth is, our species didn’t just get here by a random event, it was placed here.

    Having this energy inside me also causes me to interfere with lighting from time to time.

    Best wishes,

    Tannhauser, I’ve been quietly keeping up with all your posts over the last year. And every piece of well meaning assistance countless others on here have tried to give you, that you barely acknowledge.. and now again randomly giving attitude to Anita when she hasn’t even posted here.

    why are you here on these forums? What do you want to get out of posting here?

    Well, I don’t know quite what it has got to do with you, but I am on these forums to find help before I am driven to end my life. Sadly, it seems that Tiny Buddha is more about dispensing relationship advice than anything else. Help is not to be found anywhere. I can’t even begin to speak to family about it. Tried it once, and it scared the shit out of them. (Fear manifests in two ways: anger or nervous illness.) So I went to my parish priest on three separate occasions. He didn’t know what to do, he was clueless. On the third visit he put me in touch with an exorcist on the phone. I thought that I might actually get somewhere, but the guy told me to see my G.P. So I went to my G.P and ended up on anti-depressants. But the energies still enter my head at night. They still cause static with electrical appliances even though they are turned off at the wall. There are invisible beings still with me, and I haven’t discovered their motives to this day, nearly FIVE years after it all started. Sir Godford Almighty stuck his oar in once with a dream about the Torah, but I have heard zilch from Him ever since. (He has a VERY dry sense of humour, it seems.) Somewhere in Godland, some bright spark thought it would be fun to mess with my head by giving me experiences of Pagan Roman gods (I am a Roman Catholic. Great joke, that one. Funny.) Oh yes, I had them all: Bacchus, Neptune, Portunus. Why do this? My religion is monotheistic. Or do the gods like to mess with human beings from time to time? It would certainly explain why Akhenaten up-ended a whole religious system overnight.

    So, as you will appreciate, I get a bit frustrated when all I see on here is posts about people splitting up with their partners, and on that score, Tiny Buddha strikes me as one of the least spiritual forums available on the internet.

    That a good enough answer for you?

    Best wishes,

    Tannhauser
