Sorry, just reread the glossary. Can anyone explain the following term: Kundalini Serpent The female energy coiled at the base of the spine waiting to be released and ridden.

What does that mean? Isn't KSMO gender neutrel?

I agree canuck75, to me the Kundalini serpent, although traditionally perhaps referred to as Yin is to me, likewise gender neutral and available to all.

I make a clear distinction between female and Yin.

For example, the way I discovered the Key Sound™ and developed the Multiple Orgasm Trigger Protocol™ was to take a Yin approach from the very beginning - less stimulation, less tension (and more relaxation), slower, deeper breathing, bring the locus of energy center lower in the body rather than faster, shallower, more rapid breathing with sounds that are tighter in the throat.

Yet even in all of that Yin, there too is some balance of its complement, as the KS itself is huskier, deeper, so in that sense perhaps more Yang. :-)

I would ask that the Glossary editors remove the characterization of the Kundalini Serpent power being "female".

Thanks canuck75 and Jack.

No problem; "female" is now "generative/regenerative". What do you think of that approach?

It is an interesting discussion. If we all have both energies, is female a limiting term?

Aren't we really one of three sexual soma-types (male or female or hermaphrodite) all originating from common tissues as variants and, with bi-sexuality being increasingly documented in scientific studies as a third (female) and fourth (male) definitive gender polarity, just as naturally life determinative as "straight" or "gay", is the use of terminology re-enforcing outmoded paradigms actually helpful?

With regard to the "Commons" of associated practices, is it fair to say that KSMO is part of the rapidly emerging bio-energetics field in the 21st century; a mix of old and new, East and West?

Would a bio-energetics Map be useful, locating these practices in this field?

Jack, thanks again, this time practising the Key Sound has led to me finding a new singing voice!

Everyone, please keep the terms and definitions suggestions coming.

That's certainly another way of expressing it.

Personally I find the either / or binarism to be rather restrictive, just as male / female, or yin / yang is...

I tend to frame phenomena such as all of these examples including gender as based on a range, spectrum or even n-dimensional spectra.

That is the nature of fractal math which seems to model a good deal if not all of nature pretty well.

My personal POV...

LOL Sounds like a conversation from Startrek. For some reason as I was reading your last two posts Jack and artform, trying to understand what you were talking about, I instantly had this scene in my mind from Startrek of Data and Jordy having the same conversation between each other. LOL

OMG, we didn't add BLISS TEARS!!!

Whoa, very good point, Val! Yes please define Bliss Tears! And everybody who's had them, please post anecdotes supporting the definition!

Thanks Val and Jack! Bliss Tears is in there now. Any other ideas for the definition? Let's hear those anecdotes, for Bliss Tears and any other terms here and we could add a Glossary Supplement where necessary.

I very much agree.

My own view, which I have discussed on other Forums, is the spectrum is the best fit with the emerging scientific data and the personal stories one encounters.

The multi-polar model I mentioned in response to the earlier binaries, has been useful in discussions with some of those not ready to accept the spectrum the other Forums.

Oh no! I feel more Glossary definitions coming on...

Artform, thanks very much for all of your work on this very worthwhile project. And many thanks also to everyone else who is contributing.

RE: more details of definitions for Bliss Tears and other terms, the newly available Google site search tool via Search, on the second topmost navbar, with "Bliss Tears" (don't forget the quotes!) as well as the variant: "Tears of Bliss" will yield great content.

I recommend to the all of you that as you read various posts relating to any of the Glossary terms that at the top of the glossary you place a similar reminder re: the Google site search tool, and that when you find posts that really ring for you, please post a reply to them with the phrase: Gold Nugget - Bliss Tears (plus variants such as - Tears of Bliss, and that you include in the glossary the link back to these gems.

Google likes those referrant links and so do users!

Many thanks again for making your community ever more accessible and informative!
Jack
