Studying the Kundalini w/o Deities -Amandala

[Guest guest]

Hello Amandala,

What one calls the energy that is referred to here as

Kundalini is unimportant other than giving a person a direction or

teaching regarding its interaction and existence in the body. One

could call it what ever they wish and still many of the aspects and

symptoms of what I call Kundalini will manifest.

 

The Ancient Hindu called it Kundalini. This and along with much of the

map of symptoms and experiences that they used to describe its actions

and interaction in the body is why I call it the Kundalini. Often

people will be given direct interaction with the Sacred Feminine and

the Sacred male and other Divine personages and it is through these

experiences that people will give names to those encounters with the

Divine.

 

Many have experiences with the Shakti and the Shiva. Many have

experiences with the Christ and Virgin Mary. Some experience the White

or green Tara's or the Buddha or a manifestation of their Guru. Many

have no experiences with deities at all. Many have direct interactive

and fulfilling experiences with these and other entities. After an

experience of this kind a person's belief structure can be altered.

 

The force of energy that is Kundalini is called many different names

and your belief with regards to the encounters or experiences you have

with in the Kundalini will determine for you the reality or not of the

experience. This will drive your belief and what and how you choose to

organize it for yourself.

 

I suggest that you be open to experience what ever presents itself for

you. As your reality may seem quite concrete at the moment with the

exclusion of the divine from your active awareness or belief system

does not mean that an experience of such magnitude cannot happen for

you. It just means that at this time it isn't something that you have

an experience to reference it from. To prove it to you beyond the

explanations of science or contemporary acceptance.

 

These experiences happen often with the Kundalini, these encounters

with the Divine that is all around us. Some of the experiences are so

deeply private and personal that those who have them are reticent to

even speak of them. Some are directed not to speak of them and some do

relate their experiences.

 

Much of this goes to the individual's choice of accepting a Divine

reality at all. It can also go to the person's ability to accomplish

surrender or to be open to experiences that can severely shock the

psychological systems. Not all are prepared for these areas.

 

One of my first students after having received the Shaktipat came to

my office one day when I had an office, and asked me what Christ

looked like having never seen a picture or followed the Christian

teachings. I had a picture of the Christ on the wall and pointed to it

and she said that she had been visited the previous night by the

Christ who came to her and stared at her from the foot of her bed. For

a while. She had no idea who this was and did not feel fear.

 

The Christ left after a while and she was curious as to who it was but

was given a feeling and pursued her question with me. The other

details of this encounter are private and as she is on this list and

has mentioned it here before I will not go into the details and let

her do that if she wishes.

 

This person didn't follow any religion or have a belief system other

than a connection to nature. Forests, ocean, wind, rain, sun, animals,

etc.

 

Yet she had this experience and it changed her. She is a different

person now, and is blessed with many other tactile experiences of this

nature. Same thing happens for many with Shakti who will appear often

as a dancing figure of a woman in blue or purple. Or the Shiva or the

Buddha many of the holy deities can be directly experienced through

the Kundalini.

 

Not saying you will or won't have the experience but I do suggest that

be open to the experience so that you may have reference for it and be

able to adjust yourself to embrace it if it should come your way. -
