Expanded Awareness

Kundalini can give knowledge and awareness of specific information

even though the person has never studied or partaken of such

activities that would in a linear context allow for specific knowledge

to be received.

One merely " knows " often instantly about a certain subject or aspects

of a foreign subject. For myself this comes often and is a way of how

I am able to give and access information about others in a service

context.

It is an aspect of surrender. A way of clearing away the ego based " I

know this " or " I know that " and allowing a clarity of openness that is

as a way of being receptive to what is offered without " knowing " . It

is often instantaneous and subtle as information gently comes in and

is immediately ready for expressing without any struggle or work. It

comes to you. It may not always stay.

For me I often soon forget what is given regarding an individuals

private issues as a memory of them is not in the best interest of

either me or that person. So the Kundalini takes it away if the

service is complete. This is a way of " separation " that ensures the

integrity of the service being given.

For me the purpose and intent of knowing the information does need to

be connected to a high morality of service for others or a way of

helping another. Sometimes it helps me when I am in need of specific

knowledge in my daily life that will not effect others.

This is a skill that is open to most Kundalini people though not

commonly expressed. It does take some ego control as many of the

Kundalini skills will need some ego control. - blessings all - chrism

I had a dream once where a mugger put a gun to my head, and I woke filled with such dread I lay as though paralyzed. A woman I used to discuss my dreams with said that dreams in which the dreamer is killed (or about to be) rarely mean the person is about to die but rather that the ego is dying. Of course, the ego will put up a ferocious fight. chrism's reference to the ego reminded me of this description, which I found answered many of my questions.Carolyn

The Ego--An Anti-Evolutionary Force

There is a profound contrast between the enlightened perspective, which is the absolute, universal, and impersonal view of the Authentic Self, and the unenlightened perspective, which is the relative, separate, and personal view of the narcissistic ego. It is literally the difference between heaven and hell.

When I speak about ego, I am not using the term in the psychological sense, which usually refers to what we could call a self-organizing function in the psyche. In an enlightenment context, the word ego refers to something else altogether. Ego is the deeply ingrained, compulsive need to remain separate and superior at all times, in all places, under all circumstances. In contrast to the inherent freedom of the Self Absolute and the fearless passion of the Authentic Self, ego is experienced as an emotional quagmire of fear and attachment. It is the part of you that has no interest whatsoever in freedom, feels victimized by life, avoids anything that contradicts its self-image, is thoroughly invested in its personal fears and desires, and lives only for itself. Ego is an anti-evolutionary force of powerful inertia in human nature—attached to the past, terrified of change, and seeking only to preserve the status quo.

Ego is the one and only one obstacle to enlightenment. If we want to be free, if we want to be enlightened, we have to pay the price. The great wisdom traditions have always told us that the price is ego death, and in evolutionary enlightenment it is no different: if the Authentic Self is going to act through us as the uninhibited expression of evolution in action, then our attachment to ego must be transcended.--Andrew Cohen
