Wow!! Interesting subject, Paul, do you think you can tell us more of
your experience?? I was investigating a certain subject that experienced
gradual
auric vision, for some years. I do not know what is happening here.

Paul, Jerry, how is it possible that for some pepole (I have found
this to be very powerful on teens) experience "sudden" bursts of auric
visions
or faculties and that, and for others, the "gradual" experience that you
tell works better??
Or it could work better a "combination" of both? I founded with my
little research, that the gradual developement of a power, slowly, not
forcing it
but slow, from time to time, almost as a hobby, that the subject of my
research developed a somewhat permanent hability,
like, the guy knows "from inside" from the very sudden experimented
"burst", that the power "is" permanent, although he doesn't sees it all
the time,
only with some concentration, but from time to time he experiments
sudden "visions" and gradually are more powerful and vivid , normally
he doesn't
see things, but when concentration is around, he can control the flow,
but occasionaly he sees it when he is not normally finding it.

Why is this? I really do not understand it. which will be the best
way? gradually and slowly as you said? what happens with sudden bursts
as
Paul's? It is less permanent, it gets lost? by the way , this subject
has no idea of kundalini yoga, only some basic hatha yoga experience.
some
books, that's all. between we know we are trying to understand what
happens, is like when spiderman had is powers the first time, he.

What has to deal Kundalini with this factors?? I knew that kundalini
power did make the individual get the sudden "flowering" of the siddhis
or
psychic habilities. he tried as many teens to awaken it once. Am I
wrong?

If you two can tell me more on the subject, i will be delighted,
that would be very good on my small research.
