Guest guest Posted June 24, 1999 Report Share Posted June 24, 1999 An interesting link about Kundalini in various disciplines is: http://www.sol.com.au/kor/ An excerpt: Tao In the Tao Te Ching the primordial power is described as that of a mother. Lao Tze described Kundalini as the “spirit of the valley” (in which flows the Nadi of Sushumna). The spirit of the valley never dies. The spiritual instrument within us can be described as a microcosm (miniature form of creation) which links us with the Divine. The ancient esoteric text “Scripture of the Golden Flower” also spoke of the effects of the awakened kundalini energy. Buddhist The Lord Buddha spoke of the “middle path” to achieve nirvana. He was actually describing the central channel (sushumna) through which the Kundalini ascends. Later Buddhist masters considered that the existence of the path of liberation within a human being was the greatest secret. They transmitted it to only a few deserving disciples.

All knowledge is easily available; selecting and arranging in a way that things are starting to make sense is more important than just collecting. The reason for the secrecy of Kundalini teachings is public unacceptance; anyone who by destiny discovers that love is unconditional, not dependent on hormones or moods, will unravel all secrets of Kundalini. It has never been otherwise. In the West, the classical example is Ignatius of Loyola. All the rules, regulations, virtues and disciplines are just easy ways to break through the wall of the virtual "me". As long as one suffers from the effects of this virtual "me", life has to be practice. If one is convinced the "me" is just imaginary and as a result one acts though not-acting, has equanimity under all circumstances, what more is there to "do"? If one is Kundalini awakened, it is a matter of patience; if one isn't, the awakening will surely follow. No two awakenings are the same, awakening has to be seen as becoming conscious of. It can be compared to becoming conscious of pain. Some will show a very high threshold whereas others have a very low threshold. The reason why in many disciplines Kundalini is ignored is that a high threshold is preferable - there will be less (disturbing) side-effects so progress will be faster Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
