Greetings Thomas

[Guest guest]

Hey Thomas,

 

Glad you found your way here, good to meet you and

hear of your diverse spiritual background :-))

 

Hope you find more food for the soul right here.

 

Have you much knowledge of the Kundalini?

Is it something that you have been persuing at all or

is it just pure chance you ended up here?

 

Love and hugs

Elektra x x x

Thanks Elektra, and the others who have welcomed me. I'd like to mention

that I've babbled a lot in my blogs, but the stuff I say isn't necessarily

true or right. It is my opinion, from my POV, and is subject to change upon

further insight.

 

 

 

Concerning Kundalini, and others here are much more qualified than I,

although hopefully someday soon, with the fullness of the Kundalini

experience I'll know a lot more from experience. But I'd like to mention

how I have explained it to myself, through a pretty traditional paradigm.

 

 

 

First, what is known as the Shema (The Listen UP!): " Hear O Israel, the

Lord your G-d, the Lord is One. " (Deut 6:4) This is to be understood not

merely as there is only one G-d as opposed to many, which is the most common

teaching/interpretation, but also that G-d is whole, not fragmented, and

that there is none, nothing else: For thus says the LORD, who created the

heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it

and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited), " I am

the LORD, and there is none else. " Isaiah 45:18

 

 

 

Before there is anything created, that which we call G-d is all there IS

(Beingness). There is no inside or outside of G-d. Creation is what we

would think of as a mental action, the Universe is Mental/Mind.

 

 

 

Second, from the traditional Western Mysteries, actually from what is called

the Emerald Tablet, there is this saying: " True, without falsehood, certain

and most true, that which is above is as that which is below, and that which

is below is as that which is above, for the performance of the miracles of

the One Thing. "

 

 

 

In this regard it means that what is created is like the Creator. As an

example, what the One Identity sees as various aspects of ItSelf,

automatically manifests 'below'. We experience this as time and space, and

our growth/development as a process which takes time. It is a process in

the sense that it is like a baby growing in the mother's womb until it is

ready to be born. One might say we live in the Feminine Aspect of G-d, or

in the Subconscious mind of G-d. The Creative Life Force which is

responsible for the creation of the whole Universe, the Solar System, the

Earth, and all that is on it, is a huge energy which is basically the mental

activity of G-d in meditation upon the only thing that there is, ItSelf. (I

say IT because Gender is apparent in the created.)

 

 

 

In the Western Mysteries Kundalini is known as Matter, Astral Light, the

Serpent Power represented by the Hebrew letter Teth. We know the Matter as

Solar Force. This is not a mindless force but is actually working to

complete the perfect manifestation of every aspect perceived by G-d. In our

life our brain has developed to the degree where we are able to perceive

ourselves as separate forms. As a matter of fact it is the very limitation

of our physical senses that gives us the world we see. This is merely one

level of mind, but it appears to us as if it is reality, and we identify

with the way things look. (In the Bible this is the 'sin', or the eating

the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.) The effect of

this is that we have separated ourselves from direct perception in favor of

perceiving through a lens, thought/concepts. On the negative side this is

the cause of all of the world problems, the fragmentation of human beings

and the conflict within and without. On the positive side, this has made

our individual development possible. The Creative Life Force is always

working to complete what it started, the perfect manifestation of the image

held in the Divine Mind. It is always active in us, and is very active in

our reproductive organs (and everywhere else.) It is mostly blocked though,

due to the effects of our identifying with our knowledge. This is Adam and

Eve (us) kicked out of the Garden of Eden. All of the Chakras (known as

planets in the Western Mysteries) have subconscious patterns associated with

them. As the Life Force moves through us, it activates various patterns and

we experience them subjectively in our interactions here. As we develop

patterns which are more aligned with the way things actually are instead of

how things look, this Force moves more strongly through us. When and if it

moves through us very strongly patterns, especially sexual patterns, can be

very active, but anger issues and other fruits of separation thinking can

also activate, which is one of the reasons for the safety protocols as I

understand them. This is the purification of our Matter talked about in

Alchemy, and doesn't mean that Kundalini is 'impure', but means purity in

the sense of without mixture with other stuff, also known as the Great Work.

 

 

 

 

That is the Reader's Digest version, and I'm not all that sure I am making

sense. But, as I am a product of the West, I have found these teachings a

big help in integrating some of the Eastern teachings which actually talk

about the same things.
