Kundalini Splendor

If you go to the above site, you will discover an amazing array of archived presentations from many of the major spiritual teachers of our time. I particularly recommend that of Sally Kempton, once a disciple of Muktananda, who studied to become a monk under his direction, now a respected workshop teacher whose wisdom shines through her recording.

One of the points that impressed me in her discussion of spiritual awakening was her description of the first stage of awakening as the "honeymoon," a period which is frequently followed by a "fall" later. After that, progress continues, but not in a linear progression, but rather as a back and forth, advance and regress pattern. This describes my own experience and also that of many I have encountered. This erratic pattern is contrary to what many of the texts describe, for they imply that awakening occurs and then continues in a straight line smooth progression thereafter.

Some of the other speakers represented are Ken Wilber, Thomas Hubl, Gangaji, Brother David Steindl-Rast, Lama Surya Das, Jean Houston, Ram Das, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Adyashanti,

Carter Phipps, Andrew Harvey, Sharon Salzberg, Byron Katie, and many, many others. This site offers a golden opportunity to hear the words of living luminaries who together present key ideas fueling the spiritual shift we are now in. They are free and available for the asking. You can listen at your own preferred time, stopping and starting as you please.

This is an invaluable resource, a chance to sample the teachings of famous spiritual teachers without the need to travel to far away workshops or buy expensive CD's.
