I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in
uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.
(I know this loses interesting correlation data, but if
resondents want anonymity it's hard to avoid.)
I know that this anonymity promise depends on trust and that
you have no particular reason to trust me. Someday, I hope.
I will post results Saturday.

centers are awakened a person becomes vital, powerful,
dominant.
"With complete control of the serpent force one can
achieve almost anything. One can move mountains, or walk
on water, or levitate, or allow oneself to he buried in the
earth in a sealed chamber from which one would emerge
alive at any specified time.
"So we have it in the legend that Eve was tempted by a
serpent. In other words, in some way Eve got to know about
the Kundalini. She was able to release the serpent power
coiled at the base of her spine and that rose up and surged
through the spinal column, and awakened her brain and
gave her knowledge. Thus in the story it can be said that
