Surrender ...

[Guest guest]

A post by chrism on the tantra list and my response below...This is very strong. It requires deep intense daily practice and

application. One does not need to have a partner. One's Kundalini

becomes the partner.

The teacher becomes the initial point and focus of the surrender as it

is the teacher who will be giving the initial transmissions towards

the tantric expression for Kundalini awakening. This eventually segues

into the Kundalini but at first a corporeal point of reference is

easier to access.

blessings all - chrism

My understanding of what is being said here is that the long distant

tantra teachings that are used by chrism are intense and require not

only a deep commitment to the safeties and a practice it requires a

surrender to the teacher. I posted my thoughts on surrender to a

guide on the main site a while ago.

 

To reiterate: the guide is the embodiment of the Divine for students-

it is far easier to surrender to a flesh and blood guide (for most of

us ) than it is to surrender to an energy/Divine we can only

conceptualize. Surrender needs to be a total surrender - body, mind

and spirit and all that this involves. By surrendering to the teacher

one surrenders to the teacher's kundalini/Divine not the teacher

him/herself. By doing so one is really surrendering to one;s own

divine self ( for the Divine is the Divine - whether the teachers or

the students)

Because of this one has to be completely trusting of the teacher.

He/she has to be of impeccable character and integrity. As chrism has

stated often - if the teacher asks you to do anything that you feel is

wrong or inappropriate then turn away - if you are asked to do

anything that would harm you or another then turn away - if you are

asked to do anything of a sexual nature with or for the teacher's

personal gratification - then turn away.

 

Surrender to a teacher involves doing what is directed without

hesitation without complaining without questioning. If surrender can

be achieved by a student with a teacher and the student follows the

directives fully at some point the student will transfer the surrender

from the teacher's Kundalini to the students own Kundalini.

The wonderful aspect of a surrender to chrism is that along with the

transfer to one's own Kundalini comes a gift from chrism's Kundalini-

an energy transfer.

 

I do hope I explained this correctly - I understand it but to explain

concisely is not that easy - I can say with certainty that chrism will

decide if tantra techniques are appropriate for a kundalini process

for an individual student - they are not for all.

 

However surrender is appropriate no matter what the method of

advancing the kundalini program.

 

I wish you all full and complete surrender ---
