Kundalini : The Backlash

[Guest guest]

The way that Gopi Krishna got himself into trouble

was by using lotuses..when Kundalini stated to rise,

there was nothing for Her to "self-identify" with

except the operator himself! The benefit of the book

"Kundalini" that I keep yattering on about, is that it

makes it very clear that the operator must have a

"God-Form" ready in his/her psyche for the risen

Kundalini to identify with, and not mundane images

like lotuses or snakes, or it is liable to recoil back

on you and cause any amount of serious distress, just

as Lars has described! This is the benefit of

devotional contemplation of God-Forms and

Yantras...our western society revolts against the

seeming "idolatry" of the innumerable Hindu pantheon

of Deities, simply because the Bible enjoins against

"graven images". This is what happens when one

embraces doctrinal teachings that are possibly dated,

or irrelevant..the Sufis warn at length against taking

any written teachings to heart because they may not be

relevant to your particular time and place, and thus

do great harm! It says right in the Bhagavad-Gita :

"The Path of Transcendence (i.e. God without Form) is

difficult for mortals to attain!" It is much easier to

worship God with Form, than God without Form. Why

flail around futilely with a methodology that is too

abstract for most of us and concentrate on the

methodology that Ramakrishna taught: that of simple

and intense devotion to a particular aspect of the

Divine that has significance to YOU, personally! THEN,

when you attain to the Deity, you can ASK them for

access to the Formless, if that's what you want! God

is simple, it is MAN who complicates things! "Ye must

become as a little child"...
