and experience is cleansing pranas.

for true K is the rise of consciousness.

and see if you would regard many of them as aesthetic
mystics, or sensualist and you will answer my point.>>

Dear Tony,

Under your guidelines, whom do you feel can claim K activity?

Krishnamurti writes in his *Notebook*: "It was coming, this ecstasy from
"outside", not self-induced; it was being pushed through the system, flowing
through the organism, with great energy and volume."

St. Teresa of Avila, a sixteenth century mystic writes: "[Rapture] comes, in
general, as a shock, quick and sharp, before you can collect your
thoughts, or help yourself in any way, and you see and feel it as
a cloud, or a strong eagle rising upwards and carrying you away
on its wing....I repeat it: you feel yourself carried away you
know not whither....(You) feel how delicious it is...(At) times
it was impossible to resist at all; my soul was carried
away...and now and then the whole body as well, so that it was
lifted up from the ground." from The Autobiography of St. Teresa
of Avila translated by E. Allison Peters, p. 190.
Quoted in Patricia Treece's *The Sanctified Body*,p. 260.

Gopi Krishna: "Often at night for years, when lying awake in bed waiting for
sleep to come, I felt the powerful new life energy sweep like a tempest in
the m and thoracic regions as well as the brain, with a roaring noise in the
ears, a scintillating shower in the brain, and a feverish movement in the
sexual region and its neighborhood around the base of the spine, both in
front and behind... "
Gopi Krishna *Living with Kundalini*

I would hazard a guess that they were all experiencing the same phenomena.

Sensualists? Only Prana?

And does it really matter?
