visions/dreams.

Snakes, Spiders, Tigers, Gods and Goddesses

 

Any one or a number of these can visit you when the Kundalini is

even beginning to be sought by an person. These will most often come

into the dream life at first and then expand into the waking life

but with different dynamics than the dream life. Yes the many

floating lights and some minor phenomena will come too. But for a

clear indication from a long history of symbols used to announce the

beginning of the Kundalini these forms are often the ones most used

by the Kundalini.

 

Serpents big or small are one of the most common forms used. You may

see them in waking visions or the dream life or in your conscious

life as there is a bleed through between the realities when you

begin to walk the Kundalini path.

 

These serpents may try to bite you or if it is big enough try to eat

you. This is to be embraced. Yes that's right you are to let the

snake bite you or eat you it is a fear test. I saw serpents as big

as busses or locomotives when I began this path about twenty years

ago. The whole idea is to get you used to understand experience

isn't always as it is on the physical and yet it is also. There are

compressions of experience that merge. When the serpent eats you,

you are immediately given a large dose of the Shakti. Tingles and

love and energetic quiverings all over the " physical " body. As much

as you can handle at that point. You are being rewarded for your:

 

Lack of fear

Your surrender

 

You have successfully braved the awesome idea of being consumed by a

giant snake! Some of you will have an instant knowledge that

this " is what to do " others will run every where they can run to, to

escape the serpent.

 

The serpent is the Kundalini Shakti. It is this form that

corresponds most with the human spine. The human spine is seen as a

serpent standing on its tail and if you view a human spine you will

see that yes indeed the natural " S " curve of the spine does resemble

this. Kundalini infuses the spine and it is dormant at the base of

the spine. When it comes up it can feel as if there is a serpent

inside of you wiggling around - no joke!

 

So this initial fear test though not always given in that scenario

is a way of conditioning you to let go of your fear of the unknown.

As most of Kundalini will be received as an unknown by you. The

phenomena alone can boggle the mind.

 

So know this and internalize this so that it reaches into your

dreaming body. You will be tested and tested and you may even hear

these words spoken to you from somewhere in your consciousness as

other aspects of who you are indeed taking note of this information.

 

 

Spiders are also experienced though not as much as the serpents. You

may see huge spiders the size of dinner plates riding a web just a

few feet from you. I also had these experiences at first. The common

reaction is to " JUMP! " So you jump and then when your conscious mind

remembers you will make the associations as you will never find the

spiders anywhere In your house or near you.

 

These spiders are another aspect of the Kundalini Shakti. Another

way of testing your ability to understand and not fear the multiple

shapes and sizes of the forms this force can assume. And there are

even deeper esoteric meanings " why " these forms are used. Such as in

this case how we navigate the " web " of life. Or how we can exist on

the razor thin edge of spiders silk. Or the strength of the spider

silk when multiplied to the extreme and so forth. Some Native

American's saw the spider as an embodiment of a female goddess who

was an integral part of their way of life.

 

The Dineh' peoples of the southwest USA worship the " Spider Woman "

and they attribute to her their knowledge of weaving the beautiful

blankets and clothing that they have become known for around the

world. The name " Dineh' " means " The People' and this is what they

call themselves. Other people know them as the Navajo.

 

They even have a children's story about the Spider Woman. This is

merely one example but like the serpent the spider is worshipped and

honored by many cultures through out the world as beings of guidance

and bearing the gifts of knowledge and it is these aspects that I

will ask you to consider as they appear to you in your Kundalini and

pre Kundalini experiences.

 

Tigers have a long history of representing strength and power and

death. Even today in an area near Bangladesh people are still being

eaten by tigers. They have a very pronounced and fierce countenance

and when they are seen inside of a waking or sleeping vision they

are to be loved and respected but not run from!

 

The tiger will lie down upon a person sometimes and sleep with them

as a way of letting the person know it's OK. Do not fear. They can

also form into fierce aspects of protection when the person is still

in the stages of feeling they need protection. They can act as

warnings of impending phenomena or activities as well. So there are

many stories and teachings about tigers, too many to go into in this

short outline.

 

Gods such as Christ or Krishna, or Shiva or Buddha or Mary, Shakti,

Tara, or even those with whom you have no conscious knowledge of

will come to you and visit you or just stand at the foot of your bed

while you stare at them in wide awake disbelief! This is not

uncommon. They will talk with you in your dreams or your waking

state and one must take care in their exuberance and excitement not

to tell the wrong person they were talking to Christ in their

bedroom. That might not go well. True as it may be our western

society isn't quite prepared for that yet so do be careful!

 

All of this that I have described happens. It is as real as the

shoes on your feet and the fridge in the kitchen. This is a new

world and in this world are sprinkled aspects of our normal world

but with different meanings. We must be prepared to meet this world

with open arms and open hearts and not to become wrapped up in the

fears of what is shown to us because the meanings are different when

it comes to the Kundalini. We walk slowly and enjoy the views and

we run from nothing. & #65533; blessings all - chrism

Thanks Brad - this article was published in LAYOGA in April '09 They did a nice

job of presenting it. We are still working on finding venues for articles. A

few in the Phoenix area and there is Wisdom Magazine on the east coast where he

has articles on the ezine.

 

If anyone finds free metaphysical publications in your area please send me the

URL or the address. Or if you come across ezines - we have had some articles

published in those. You will find free magazines in Whole Food Stres, Trader

Joes, New AGE or metaphysical bookstores, coffee shops yoga centers.

 

I know about Natural Wakening Magazine - it is all over the country.

 

I would like titles in the following areas if you live there:

 

Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Portland, Seattle, Miami any where on the east

coast, Wisconsin, Texas ( with the seminar in Phoenix it is a good idea to try

mags in Texas, Colorado, UTah, Nevada)

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Blessings
