Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Chrism, In addition to the books you mentioned below, I wondered if you've ever come across Kundalini in the Physical World, by Mary Scott (1983). Although I think you'd have some fundamental disagreements about what seems to be over-cautiousness (which may arise from a more general Indian attitude toward westerners of " don't try this at home " ), she is very thorough in explaining the scientific side of things, mixing Tantric terminology with concepts from everything from physics, geology and biology to Theosophy. But I can't honestly say I understood everything -- it almost seems to demand a complete familiarity with not only Gopi, Bentov and Sanella (three that you mentioned), but also Woodroffe and Aurobindo and even Alice Bailey -- and someone could spend decades just trying to get through the books of those three! She hypothesizes that there are many kinds of Kundalini in the world, including three types in the human body (coiled K, K-Shabdabrahman, and Chit-K, the last of which can be manipulated). I'd like to try and understand this better, but don't know where to turn. The Woodroffe books always seemed almost unreadable to me, but maybe I'm ready to give them another try...

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Hello John , Yes when you raise the Kundalini everything will become much more understandable as you will become infused with knowledge at an extreme rate. Try not to see this as an intellectual exercise. It is very far away from intellectualism. If you can please begin to pray in addition to your meditations and forgivnesses. Allow the divine to reach into your heart and begin the surrendering of the ego. - blessings to you - chrism nologo3 <esposito wrote: Chrism, In addition to the books you mentioned below, I wondered if you've ever come across Kundalini in the Physical World, by Mary Scott (1983).
