I might do that, _when_ I sense receptiveness on the other side. I'm
not Jehova's Witness, you know, I don't force truth down people's
throats. For instance, when you started writing about having problems
with raising Kundalini, I suggested that trying the techniques on my
web might be useful. If you did try the basic meditation, for
instance, you would learn more about raising Kundalini than would be
possible through any amount of explanation. Since you're attempting to
control and rape Kundalini, I figured that you'll probably mess
yourself up thoroughly and that you'll have only yourself to blame. 
If you, for instance, wanted to surrender to God completely, and love
him with all your being, your Kundalini would immediately be awakened
and raised without any problem whatsoever - simply because surrender
to God is the spiritual equivalent of the ascent of Kundalini from
mulaadhara to brahmarandra. But I guess that you're not into
surrender, you'd like to be in charge, your own boss, in control of
things. You don't need to surrender to the higher reality, you already
know what you want, and now you just need to find a way to harness
energy for it. Good luck, you're gonna need plenty of it.

But, since I'm in a good mood today, I'll share something with you:
awareness and control in the process of Kundalini ascent are fatal.
Control creates a block somewhere around mani-pura, because this is
the chakra that regulates the flow of the astral substance, and
control is an astral activity. You can't have it both transparent and
active; it will block the Kundalini ascent and resistance will destroy
your astral body. This is what happened to you the last time, and it
will happen again.
The opposite of control is surrender. Surrender, however, isn't
enough; surrender opens sushumna nadi, but if you want to open it
fully, at its entire length, you need to surrender more deeply, up to
the very core of your soul. You need to identify God as the closest,
the dearest. This is the core of your being. In surrender to that, you
will have, technically speaking, a full Kundalini awakening and its
ascent through sushumna. When you attempt to make love to the thing
closest to your soul, you unite your consciousness with your life -
that's what the images of Shiva and Shakti really mean. Just don't
concentrate on the energy and its movement because you'll have more
trouble. Work with the consciousness, and the energy will follow. 
Basically, just do the basic meditation, it sounds simple but there's
plenty of heavy theory behind it. You don't need to know the theory in
order to succeed; insisting on control and explanations will most
likely get in the way. If you insist on will and control, you'll most
likely end up like Crowley, insane and dead.

Yes, that was exactly what I had in mind. You'd be surprised how
effective that is. Kicking complacent butt often has an awakening
effect.
