Shakti and Shiva ()

[Guest guest]

Chrism,

 

Could you please comment on the difference between and relationship of

Shakti in Shiva in regards to the Kundalini?

 

Do we pay special attention to Shakti since our society now has tended

to be a bit more on a male oriented / agressive / masculine sort of

slant? Should we pay more attention to Shiva too?

 

Are both appropriate to send prayers to and speak with?

 

Where does the balance between the two come to help in our awakening?

Is it a natural occurence as we follow the safeties?

 

Thank you teacher!

 

love bradly

In electricity there are positive and negative charges or poles

that are required to make a flow of electricity possible. Same with

the Kundalini. In the case of the Kundalini the Shiva and the Shakti

are labels for " The Two that are One and the One that is Two " . Don't

let that throw you but it needs to be stated.

 

Shiva is the sacred male and Shakti is the sacred female in the

ancient Sanskrit language and belief from which we draw their names.

The Sanskrit peoples, the ancient Hindu pursued Kundalini and it is

many of their road maps that have been preserved that we use today

as we pursue Kundalini. It does take a Kundalini awakened person to

understand them accurately as they were written by Kundalini

awakened people of that time period. Its not all ink on parchment

equals knowing imho. - lol.

 

Shiva can be partially understood as " Prana " or solar or cosmic

radiations. Shakti can be partially understood as earth based

energies. When these two energetic qualities meet at specific places

on the five bodies of a person a circuit is connected. A flow is

started. A very powerful paradigm shattering flow.

 

The ancient Hindu saw this as " The Divine Marriage " The joining of

the sacred Male and sacred Female of a person. Similar to what

occurs when sperm and egg unite, this condition is the arc and the

covenant and the sword and the stone and all of the other analogies

that equate and join the sacred forces of male and female.

 

This provides a birth into another life. A life that uses the

present existence as a platform of expression. Back to the " Two that

are One " I mentioned earlier. The two lives that have become one

life from the two forces that have become one and so on and so

forth. An embodiment of a Vesica Pisces connected to and by many

other Vesica Pisces. Kundalini is that middle space that reaches

into the higher spaces and yet still retains the qualities of the

lower spaces.

 

Shiva is revered as the sacred male and is equal to the Shakti as he

is her counterpart and vice versa. You breath him in and bask in him

every day of your life. So giving thanks to Shiva or Christ or

Buddha and any of a number of spiritual representations of the

sacred male is most appropriate but make it a balanced approach and

for every gratitude you give to him do the same for the Shakti, or

Virgin Mary or Mary Magdalene or Sarasvati or Sri Lakshmi or

Amaterasu or the Buddhist Goddess/Bodhisattva, as she is also

present within you everyday of your life.

 

She is the inner and he is the outer. This is more than following

the human anatomy. This is the inner self and the outer self. The

above and below. The heaven and the earth. The combination of the

opposites, the marriage of these opposites is what brings the

Kundalini who can be seen as the " Divine Child " . - blessings -

Thanks so much Chrism... I will consider your words. I like the part

about Shakti and Shiva being represented in familar 'male and female'

figures that we pray for. Wonderful!

 

be well, bradly
