Re: Kundalini - Awakening - Grace
I would like to interview David Carse today, ten years later. Kundalini has a long-lasting and evolving effect. I have read accounts by Indian meditators where the lasting effect of Kundalini, from a social perspective, seems less than attractive. I might say it is the antithesis of Ecstacy (the drug) as the 'victim' withdraws from the social sphere and might feel somewhat or a good deal isolated by the experience.
When I think of Kundalini ButterflyWoman always comes to mind because I have read her accounts and I think we share a similar experience - an experience I would not wish upon another person - life changing in a way a heart attack would be. The 'brilliant stillness' is transformative but I'd say it comes at a heavy price. Frankly, I fault Bruce for his attempts to broadcast ways to awaken the beast. Never mind that, I doubt his methods will actually be effective in any way beyond a fanciful success. We imagine and give credence to the works of imagination. This is not wrong, per se, as imagination plays forcefully in our attempts and successes regarding dream work. But I see Kundalini in a different light. It is physiologically visceral and irreversible.
And so, Susan, we can wax poetic about the clear light of enlightenment - this is inspiring and valuable - but there is a price, like any good fairy tale, that tends to even the field, to offset the gratuity of the gift.
Just my thoughts.
Matter is only mind in an opaque condition; and all beauty is but a symbol of spirit.
