Dear T,

 

I think that when we start seeing Kundalini in a different light, more as

our innate process of self regeneration, an in-born auto-therapy that can be

trusted, and when we see the stuff that comes up with Kundalini (real or not

or whatever) as that which contributed to our loss of original self

(imagined, illusive or not), or as signs of progress (real or imagined or

otherwise), then there is no problem with Kundalini the way you state it:

> Kundalini is as real as the mind.

> In fact is it not the mind or the direction of attention, for it is

extant?

> It is all in the imagination of the mind and doesn't lead to 'moksha'

 

Whatever K is, however we formulate or define K, whether it be mental or

physical, real or illusive... we seem to want to deal with something here...

however "extant" it is, whatever your meaning of the word is.

No matter what, you are dealing with something here for many years

already... The proof is in the emails that you write, something extant

enough for you to write about it. And that is good..., very good in fact...

 

So thanks...

 

Compare the kundalini process to the healing process that your body employs

after you have been physically wounded. One cleanses the wound by taking out

or expelling the grit, the bullet, the fragments, the sickening agent. You

either do it yourself, have it done or the inflammation and puss will take

care of it and bring it all to the surface. When the wound is in its final

healing stages, you will see lots of scabs, new skin forming, scar tissue or

eventually some vague leftover skin marks.

Kundalini is like that but it works on societal, emotional, psychological

and spiritual wounds, very often in a complex mix with physical stresses

that are caused by those wounds (Or those physical stresses may even have

cause an array of non physical wounds.)

 

Let's deal with kundalini that way... a self healing mechanism that works.

(A life time warranty at birth: "When all else fails use K, just add love.)

 

Dealing with the kundalini process the wrong way, (and you are right when

you say that that happens all too often) the wrong way is like dramatizing

symptoms and afflictions the way some people who are attached to their

physical ailments advertise them: "Look at my scars", "Look at my cast! Do

you want to sign it?" or "The third time I am hospitalized and now I'm in

for a triple bypass."

That is like poking at the bone fragments, or picking at scabs and showing

them off to the world. Of course the wounds will take longer to heal, they

may even reinfect and not be healed for a long time.

 

The kundalini process, when it can run its course with trust, support and

understanding leads towards its own disappearance until eventually only

'moksha' remains...

No scar tissue here!

 

It is important though, for the time being, that the marks of this process

are being talked about. The specifics of the process have to be written

about for people to recognize what it is they are experiencing. So that they

may know that they are in fact healing themselves, in spite of the fact that

the signposts are pointing the other way, turned around by

non-compassionate, mis-understanding individuals who would be begrudging

someone else's liberation, being afraid that they will be left out in the

cold, all by themselves.

 

Itzhak Bentov called the process the "Physio-Kundalini Syndrome", Yvonne

Kason MD wrote a very good book on this ("A Farther Shore").

The way it is now, we have to a self-diagnose, as medical people hardly have

an inkling about this.... and when confronted with people who show these

signs they may end up sending them to mental institutions, prescribing the

wrong medication (there is some helpful medication), or (and you know enough

about that)...these people may end up in non beneficial quasi-liberating

environments where these people can be led astray even more by, as you might

say, "Manipulative miracle workers."

 

Love, Wim

K. as the cleansing process does not "bestow", I fully agree, and as I said

what "remains" is 'moksha' as it was never lost...

 

And about the Heart centre, oh Tony am I ever aware of that, and did the

self regeneration process ever help there...

 

Seems like you are reverting back to your original view of K and have not

seriously tried my suggestion about K as a reclamation, self restoration,

self origination process. I can tell you have not... otherwise you would

have agreed .... hehehe OK OK OK

 

And in a previous post you wrote:

> Thought came before matter for matter is thought

 

Nought came before thought or woughs it 'whought nought'?

Another email coming up shortly dealing with that...

 

Loughve, Wim

 

(methinks i think you think too much :)

Namaste Wim et al,

 

All very good but to put it in another perspective. K is none other

than the mind, or our awareness of it. We are shifting our attention

so to speak, which gives an impression of movement. It is something

that would be better meditating through rather than be delayed by

such. For K cannot bestow liberation in itself, for one is only truly

aware when the 'attention', returns to the 'Heart Centre'. I suppose

it is like comparing to the rising sun. We move from a state of

inertia or tamas, to a state of activity or rajas, which can be

compared to K. When the heavy tamas and active rajas is dispelled than

sattva shines forth before moksha. They say realisation appears like a

blazing sudden sun. So realisation can only take place with the

destruction of K or the mind, 'I'.

It is said that the mind rises in the amrita nadi and then travels to

the brain, and returns to the Heart Centre during sleep. Not from the

muladhara to the sahasrara. However this is all in the mind, most K

can be channeled by spiritual exercises such as rosary or japa, then

transcended. As opposed to a preoccuption with prana K experiences

which are ultimately unreal, and only a cleansing process.

 

My involvement with miracle manipulative miracle worker, came as a

result for my misperception that he was realised. As I am not realised

I could not recognise the positives, only the negatives which I

eventually did and realised my illusion and mental projection.

 

Om Namah Sivaya....Tony.

Namaste Wim et al,

 

Every sadhana is a self reclamation process, and I did say that K is

really what people call the cleansing prana working on the inner

sheaths. K in itself cannot lead to moksa anymore than the manifest

world, which is also K, can. K is really the mind and one has to rise

above the mind to gain or regain Moksha. There seems to me to be much

preoccupation with K experiences as if that is the end all of all,

when it is the Heart Centre that is the end all. I just suggest

navigating through K experiences, as they are mind, with some

spiritual sadhana, then the mind will be cleansed as a matter of

course.

Thought is the manifestation of Saguna Brahman, which in itself is an

illusion of course. Talking relatively there is only thought or mind.

...Om Namah Sivaya...Tony.

When your Kundalini goes _physically_ active, and the powerful and

wonderful energy that is Mother Shakti herself moves up your spine and

throughout your body, then you will understand of your own experience.

 

Until that happens, why bother with theoretical talk about it? :)

 

Om Namah Shivaya!

Dear Tony,

 

You wrote:

> ...'I am not realised'...

 

So why not?

What kind of special reason do you have, that you are not.

What makes you think you are so special in your impediments or whatever,

that you are not able to recover 'moksha'?

 

Whatever answer you come up with, is exactly that what holds you back.

Unless you say, "You know what Wim, I'm going to give myself the benefit of

the doubt..., and I'm going to take it from there."

 

This is not a mechanical engineering job, this self-restoration, if it were

it would be good and prudent to err on the side of caution, in this case one

better err on the side of freedom.

 

That requires practice, can be a bit disconcerting to see yourself in a

different light, but might that not be meaning of Sadhana, right practice?

 

Love, Wim

Hi Dharma,et al,

 

I talk from experience, in fact an almost daily experience in

preliminary chakra meditations, up to and including the sahasrara. I

have had experiences since I was a child, however my most dramatic was

in 1985 where the bolt to my heart chakra was so intense I fell over

from my padma asana position.

 

I rarely speculate or talk about things I haven't experienced. I will

always point out that 'I am not realised', or 'it is said', etc.

 

My opinion is the same, preoccupation with K experiences is really no

better than with body consciousness, albeit more subtle. Some people

whose inner sheaths do not need the cleansing prana, commonly known as

K, do not even have these experiences.

 

Again K doesn't end in moksha, siddhis perhaps, and even more

attachment to the illusory experiences. It is not spirituality in the

true sense, just a step for some on the way. It is all ultimately in

the imagination. Bliss itself may be the last greatest impediment to

moksha.

 

Mother Sakti doesn't move up the bodies, her prana does!

 

Om Namah Sivaya......Tony.

Namaste Wim,

 

If I was realised and had moksha, I wouldn't be writing here for one

thing. Calling myself a King isn't going to make me one, that's for

sure. You say, whatever answer, that I give, holds me back, when in

fact it is my karma that holds me back. The flower will open and bloom

when it is supposed to. It is more a matter of surrendering than

conditioning, conditioning only happens in the mind..........Om Namah

Sivaya.....Tony.
