:) That just says that your insight isn't very deep.

Find me a Christian who has surrendered to God (God, not some idea or
dogma) and I'll show you a Kundalini-awakened person. But,
Kundalini-awakening isn't enough, and one does need the techniques in
order to purify and develop his energetic bodies. Since I have
experience with that, I can recognize many Christian techniques as
Kundalini-based. I admit that their understanding of the process is
shallow, but surrender/remorse attitude is the next best thing to
up-stream kriya. Unfortunately, it has a limited effect, and is much
slower, so you need years and decades instead of days and months,
which can be very troublesome.

Well, let's do it this way: you guide people your way, I'll guide them
my way, and we'll see whose students are better off, OK?
It's not extreme at all; attempts of control are the very reason why
Kundalini has such a bad reputation - that it's dangerous, that you
can go insane or become ill, etc. But control seems to be some sort of
a mantra for egomaniacs: "Control, yes, give us more!" With Kundalini,
you don't need control. You need surrender. There's nothing to
control. There is no danger, no enemy. Visualizing hissing serpents,
whacking them on the head and forcing them up the spine might be a
very "male hero" type of yoga, like, you're in charge, you're in
control, you're in a lunatic asylum...
