We offer information, links, personal support and professional diagnostic examples to differentiate between the true intense spiritual experience (spontaneous Kundalini awakening, prophetic visions, shamamic journeys etc,) as opposed to psycotic or emotional religious events. Perhaps most importantly, we hope to support those who've had life-changing contact with beings of interdimensional, intergalactic, time-space or other mode of visiting. We have waited 11 years to announce this change on this web site. If you are laughing now, please click to another site immediately. Or be brave, explore the links and get ready to have your world turned upside down for the better.   Wishing You Peace in a Peace Loving World,   Paul Perner, North Hollywood, California

Spontaneous Spiritual Emergence On the next page I briefly outline the difficult situation I found myself in after having a kundalini awakening while woking the 12 steps in a recovery community in the California desert. I an currently writing a book detailing the dramatic chain of events that led to that moment.	For some of us, the gradual awakening was not what our Higher (or inner) Power had in store. Perhaps we had gone too far off the edge. Perhaps time was not on our side. But one day the light would come... for each at our own pace... for each, on our own path.   The intensity of a profound spiritual experience cannot be understated. A person can feel propelled out of body and out of (the old) mind. The event can trigger the release of Kundalini energy, cause confounding visions and entirely change a person's view of the universe.   For those in recovery, this is a life saving moment. But, in the days following, a person can experience what is called a "spiritual emergency." You finally learned how to fly... a Higher Power filled your wings with the winds of eternity, but in the fast lane of the western world, "reality," whether it's interpretation is right or wrong, claims the stern upper hand for the last clinical word when matters of the mystic are on the table. After a flight through the worm hole, a young bird might appear wide-eyed and whobbley, but she needs support and understanding of a very specialized nature, not a psychiatric wash-out.
Specific Issues On the third page I hope to expand on the problems faced by drug/alcohol counselors and other professionals who may one day have the educational challenge of recgonizine and giving support to a client who has had an intense, very real shift of consciousness in a less-than-sympathetic environment.	Anyone who has had a near death experience, for example, will tell you that there is no text book for the journey home. A person might find that the old "home" of a once sacred religious doctrine may no longer exist as previously interpreted. This can cause great misunderstandings within a family, recovery community or other peer group.   Unlike an NDE, during a spontaneous spritual experience a person is fully conscious and is engaging in this reality as best they can while being profoundly aware of another. Through the ages, the great spiritual teachers have pointed us in this direction and may have spent most of their lives in extraordinary states of consciousness. However, being the stuff of mere mortals, we falter when a greater reality engages the template of our ordinary minds.   To others, during a sudden awaking a person may appear delusional or even schizophrenic. Outwardly, it would seem like they've taken a hallucinagenic drug. There may be fine lines, but in the end there are tremendous differences between pathological psychosis and a true spiritual transformation.   Exploring the links or a Google search for "spiritual emergency" will reveal extensive resorces to help understand this process.                              *                        *                        *
	There are several issues specific to people in recovery who have spontaneous awakenings that will be discussed as this new web site grows. There is great potential in integrating the research of transpersonal psychology with the realizations of time-tested spiritual paradigms and the hands-on experience of the of the recovery movements. Let's give it our best.   May peace and rationality always be with you in this world of changes.     ravensdawn@earthlink.net
