Guest guest Posted March 7, 2000 Report Share Posted March 7, 2000 Thanks Jerrysan, Gloria, TG, Roger, Antoine, Dharma, Tony, Eric, Kimie, Annie, Robert, Greg, Moller, Bruce, Dan, Geovani, Rainbo and others for the recent sharing. I will pass this message on to the NDS with a couple of comments. First, I occasionally receive questions from the list members on the interplay of Kundalini Shakit and psychosis or even losing one's mind. There is much that can be said about it and Dr. Sannella wrote a book on the topic in the 1970s. I am not a doctor or psychologist. Based on long term experiential knowledge, my practical understanding is that Shakti is the massive force of the unconscious, conscious, and the superconscious. She is both the Terror and the Beauty that manifests from Consciousness as the Energy of Consciousness but not seprate from it. It is She who ascends to Sahasarara (brain center) and in final stages descends and merges the mind into the Heart and Reveals Her Self as Pure Consciousness. In many people, the Shakti becomes active unexpectedly under certain circumstances. Unless, one has been in the field for sometime, what is happening cannot be grasped at all, even by doctors and psychologists. Abnormal awakenings when not correctly understood can indeed be perceived as mental illnesses of various types. However, people who are able to somehow come out of these have the potential to develop into the most beautifully creative flowers of this garden we call the universe. The following link will bring you to the page that has a link to an old paper I wrote on Kundalini Shakti and it also has several poems on the Goddess as well.

Jerrysan, TG, Antoine..losing mind, sanity, and heart shattered..this descent into the vast sea of the unconscious that births hell and heaven. Tossed back upon the beach, a bit of flotsam, stripped of all, being No-thing...does one so easily pick back up what was lost? How to explain gratitude for the gifts of what others may see as the ultimate disaster? No worst, there is none. The ultimate freefall into nothingness. Landing back into this dream place of illusory somebody's, believing they walk upon solid ground, all working so hard to dissolve this ego thing or to make it satisfied.. Only once just pick it up!! feel the sand running through your fingers, you grasp at insubstantial air. Return to this dreamworld? No thank you, I will walk among them, knowing what I know. What is the value of this knowing? Glo // All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.

I also found it very helpful to read that Jung said She is an impersonal force, an autonomous process or force who can and will guide us in our work, in our spiritual and physical development. Muktananda called her Mother Shakti and named his spiritual autobiography _Chitshakti Vilas_, _The Play of Consciousness_.
