Kung and Jung

[Guest guest]

A very devote Roman Catholic friend sent me this email. I thought

some might find it interesting:

Both Hans Kung and Barth look to Jung, so.....

 

 

C.G. Jung recognised the link between the Divine Feminine and the

Eastern principle of Kundalini. He understood that the Kundalini was

the representation of the Goddess within each of us.

 

Is the Holy Ghost the Kundalini? Was the Kundalini a central principle

in early mystic Christianity? Such an assumption would help us

reinterpret many parts of the mainstream bible, for example; In the

Gospel of John, Christ explains to the Pharisee Nicodemus:

 

" Verily I say unto thee, except a man be born of water

and the spirit; he cannot enter the kingdom of God",

 

this second birth far from being a licence for so many born again

Christian fundamentalists is something much more mystical and subtle

in nature. To be "born of the water and the spirit" describes the

awakening of Kundalini. She is often described as a divine mother

whose ascent within the spine of the seeker gives them rebirth into

mystic/gnostic awareness, the 'divine water' is its nourishing energy.

The Kundalini enters the Sahasrara and there unites the seeker's

awareness with the self or spirit. This is described as a blissful,

infinite experience of the kingdom of God within. Thus, Christ's 'born

again' Christianity might actually refer to those Christians who have

entered the realm of direct experience of divinity, in the state of

self realisation.
