Interesting!  I was quite the upstart and I'm glad my challenges helped someone. 

I like the Buddha's poetry too.  Some things we just read or hear and take it in and it provides a sort of transmission.  Grace in action. 

I like to think that my kundalini yoga practice prepared me for the Buddhist path. I couldn't integrate the purpose of kundalini movements and rises or understand where it was leading spiritually or even practically. It still doesn't make sense to me so its interesting to read the experiences of others such as yourself.
