I'm seriously thinking I should quit this pursuit of "enlightenment"after reading about the consequences some people have to deal with. I've experienced some thrilling, some unsettling, some worrysome things after practicing the energy rising techniques (some of which I "already" instinctintly knew and practiced during meditation, I guess from being naturally inclined to doing such).

It's been more difficult to "get out" since becoming more aware of the practices and "standards" and as I'm making more conscious efforts to reach my earlier goals, I'm discovering more sadness and destitude in this whole deal of etheric/astral realm. In a way it seems to become more like an imprisonment, addictive and prohibitive of any real growth in spiritual life.

Anyway, I've been pondering these issues and am still waiting for clarity before drawing conclusions or making statements that I may regret...

We'll see!
