Kundalini, What Is It?

[Jananz]

Yes Badiou's observation is great...we are each a little of each of these responses...the percentage of which makes up what we term "personality," ie: habits of response. This is similar to the four basic humors...Sanguine (air), Choleric (fire), Phlegmatic (water), Melancholic (earth). http://www.kheper.net/topics/typology/four_humours.html

Hans Eysenck studied two continua the " extrovert~introvert" and "stable~unstable", plotting his results in four quadrants representing the four temperaments (Melancholic, Phlegmatic, Choleric, Sanguine).
http://intraspec.ca/temper0.php

Consider the idea that we respond to our higher Self, our sovereign I, our ultimate authority within through the defensive/adaptive conditioned personality. Thus our responses to Spiritual Awakening will somewhat reflect our response to or tolerance for outer authority figures. Fighting through the fragmentation of what Other has made of us (the collective within) we essentially are presented with the inner tension of our resistance to being defined and used by others. This then is why spiritual awakening can be such an ordeal as we process an amplification of this hard shell of resistance as it encounters the fire of ultimate authority of the Self burning within.



• Self Pity—Stop the self pity story, its just a mechanism the ego uses to prevent you from integrating our full power, by telling yourself you are a victim and are not strong enough. If you stop doing the weak thing, you will naturally become stronger. Few are given the opportunity of the alchemical grace to transform themselves, so be a hero and treat your energy as your ally instead of your enemy. Stop fighting your Self and your body, mind, soul and quest will come into alignment. Or conversely, if you don't surrender and claim mastery, you could spin your metaphysical wheels for eternity getting nowhere. The fragmented self is loath to choose.

• Learned Helplessness—The technology and cultural structures we have built as partial, unbalanced humans are unsupporting to all life. We have to relearn how to create self-sustaining community, and to pull our money and livelihood out of the mainstream systems. Otherwise the overheads required just to merely survive will make noble human life impossible, and the stress load will eat away at our health and undermine our creativity. Rather than merely observing the train wreck of civilization in horror, we must set about creating the world that we "want" to live in and that makes sense to us. Thus we can be informed about the aspects of the apocalypse as it unveils, but we must always see through metaview eyes to know that sane and spiritual human culture is possible and that we in our daily lives are working towards that end.

To resist the Borg is futile, but to join the Borg is ignorance!
“Protest till you burst ! Men will go on all the same…Attend to what you have in hand whether material object, or moral principle, or action, or the meaning of what is said.” Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

As this work of removing what is “not Self” and incarnating and incorporating what “is Self” progresses we move from the master-slave hierarchal dynamic of the older brain operational regions and surrender to “thine own Self as God.” If we are still in rebellion to outer authority then we have not yet established cosmic authorship but are still caught in the master-slave hierarchal biochemistry. We can see then that healthy community and the whole human are built from the inside out through divine communion to permit the empowered, post resistance and post pathological human being.

Eventually, it comes to where you know, see, and realise that Self is universal. You see that the whole of Creation is an exercise is the Self knowing Itself. All is Source, all is Self. And it goes on from there, too, beyond there. Eventually, it circles back and you're back where you started, but with a completely different perspective on it all....

[Jananz]

The deeper regenerous perspective is that we are not a gift to the Universe, but a gift of the Universe. The fruit of cosmogenesis if you will. Sovereignty is the exploration of the gift that we are and the universe in all its mystery. If we voluntarily put ourselves in harms way, engage in pathological relationships, or permit ourselves the victim role, then we diminish the gift of God that we are. Although choosing the gift of rising to all we can be is volitional, the diminishment of our being is largely influenced by our environment, other people and culture. Thus sovereignty is that power of personal choice necessary to maintain, grow and divine our soul despite internal and external opposition.

“Human beings are here to remember themselves, with conscious awareness and with complete understanding of their innate connection to the Universe.” T. Taylor.

Once sovereigns develop full individuality, if they formed into groups of whole persons they would have a godlike power to create, alter and shape things on Earth to be more life sustaining and to preserve and enhance the gift of human existence. As we let go of the old animal methods of holding our humanity down, a visionary zeitgeist will emerge and Spirit liberated and revealed through time.

“Remember that your Inner Self is inexpugnable, when once it rallies to itself and consistently declines to act against its will, even though the defiance may be irrational. How much more then, when its judgment is rational and made with circumspection ? Therefore the mind free from passions is a citadel; man has no stronger fortress to which he can fly for refuge and remain impregnable. Ignorant is he, who has not seen this; unhappy he, who, having seen, yet flies not to the refuge.” Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

a lot of great quotes, and none of them are in error when considering mankind looking out at world and universe.

this one in particular, "Sovereignty is the exploration of the gift that we are and the universe in all its mystery", is not about our perception of external world/universe.

the most surprizing remembrance is understanding that it is the universe which is connected to us, and not us remembering our connection to it. this may seem ludicrous, however, what stems from one is exactly what is forgotten and/or taken for granted.

another remembrance is understanding that rising and/or falling does not determine the human worth/values, as in "all we can be/replenish" vs "diminish". simply being human is being in the image, the reflection of what is refered to as god. certainly god does neither diminish or require replenishment as The Image.

so, how do we reconcile these outward limited perceptions that 'seem' to call for being more than from a less than perception?

if you have not understood it on your own, there are written sources which expose one to a deeper truth. by expose i mean to say, that such sources don't outright explain in detail where there is but little doubt, or none, left for the student to discover.

these sources are not unlike lil bags of seeds, which taken and given contemplative practice to may grow.

perhaps if one understood words like 'strike' and 'resistance' and even 'rejection', then they might look out with understanding and actually see the closeness with which all humanity is now exposed, even predisposed, to that point in time refered to as the darkest hour before the dawn.

one might understand, that greater than the sun's light is that light which reflects the sun's light.

what is light going out straight away, and what is light reflective of that straighted light, in that it by that reflectivity is returning.

understanding that, is to understand why beings become human beings, or that within a body. for it is ever the bodies, be it an animal body or an celestial body such as the moon, which from being material may reflect straight light.

to possess a body is the highest order of being, and in that there is nothing but body's in reflection it also follows that there is no lower order of being.

but here, how does one aid the reader in seeing within when applying these statements.

some would argue, those consumed by outlying ideation, that the source is the greatest of light. whom may argue that, for it is an unarguable truth in being a returning body.

yet, what parent would judge their child/ren as to say that they as parents are the greatest of humanity and their children are a diminished variant of humanity.

taking a leap here, cause i aint gonna go on and on in my vanity, but within this perceived growing darkness which is our world, is also within the greatest of all light hidden from view, hidden only because human's yet ideate with everything but themselves in it. to say that what is within is withheld, uninvested, leaving them strangely terrified in each other.

a lot of what has been stated in this thread is very authoritative in description of our co-symptoms. yet symptoms strewn about is not a singular diagnosis made. the diagnosis is human because there isnt anything beyond what is human with which to extract a diagnosis via symptoms.

the diagnosis, any diagnosis, finds the cause within. and i see this 'collective' refering to this within. however, this particular diagnosis wishes to excuse the human, adding to that an other than human word.

technology from the external world cannot be taken to the within and applied diagnostically as the cause. just as when a human dies, they do not take their cable box, remote and tv with them after death.

this 'borg' premise is ok as far as symptomology goes, for no one can argue that our tecno-perfect world is at great cost to our humanity.

the diagnosis is spiritual in cause, it is human as cause. 'human' is the 'diagnosis', and beyond that, no other word will suffice.

basically what we got here is two lights, the greater returning light exponentially grown even as the world containing it seems diminished and dark, at that point in time where it as image strikes the source light.

this is kinda like any wakeup call that a human would endure. say that one's life has become routinely comfortable, everything seeming fine, then suddenly a tragedy hits, turning the life upside down wherethat comfort weighed out reveals much having been taken for granted and much ignored. oh the ache that would bring back a dead loved one for just one more chance to do it right. yet one cannot do that, so following that very dark point of cantact where resistance leads to rejection there arises a new dawning light within that understands the fragility and brevity of life.

this is where we are, the very comfort of our life caught in much resistance, with eyes upset looking out in much rejection, much outrage and unrest...etc; the very precipice of striking the source.

this is kinda zen, for a further example. a visiting zen master walks into a zen buddhist monastery. the monastery's resident master/s and subs lined up for the visiting dignitary.
face to face they come, and the visiting dignitary slaps the hell out of the resident honorable so and so. tis a wake up call, a strike, a source (visitor) in that it is not within it's comfort zone; a strike against that which through comfort/familiarity would stand there and presume to be honored.

the slap is that honor, which would keep a brother from himself as worst enemy.

yeah, i know, this is a hard sell, because folks are much to use to enabling one another, such that critical analysis is seen only as negative report, an offense that comfort must defend.

so, a diagnosis yet stemming in symptomatic vaiables is no diagnosis at all.

this is why it is said, "all praise and glory to god", even as we being human would lavish one another with praise and glory, each one relishing self-praise and self-glory.

a veteran yesterday said on tv, about a particular 'war hero'. he questioned why a country's governement and media would 'build up' any veteran as a 'hero', when in fact by definition he already was a hero before anything could be added to it. in this logic the speaking veteran felt that but for a few veterans, firemen, lawmen, emts...etc which by mediation were counted highly as hero status, that all else being the majority of men and women in service, were not publically recognized as heros by simple definition requiring no more added to it.

you see, that which knows itself understands that beyond that understanding there isnt one word, not one nuance further, that could make the self more, or even less.

human, each in every of one a human...just as hero, each in every of one a hero. and every human a hero, as every hero is a human, even a dog in extension of what is human.

ok, gonna have to look up this new word, 'inexpugnable'. wow opposite of repugnant? sounds naughty

inexpungnable- can't be removed-

[Jananz]

The emergent sovereign uses the energy and “witness” contained within the distress and armoring to further gnostic insight into human potential. By burning up the former container we create space and plasticity for the growth of the new stage.
“WHEN the sovereign power within is true to nature, it stands ready to adjust itself to every possibility and every chance that may befall. It does not set its affections on any determinate material, but keeps each impulse and preference conditional and subject to reservation. Obstacles encountered it converts into material for itself, just as fire lays hold of things on top of it, which would have choked a feeble light; for a blaze of fire at once assimilates all that is heaped on, consumes it, and derives new vigor from the process.” Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

[Tutor]

"can't be removed", that's it indeed, without human is without everything.

does time register time, or is it human which registers time. humans track the lines of sight catching their eyes in wonder. yet, from us are they tracking, the lines connectively formed from within what is human. though one would imagine it all being without us in it, that we as children merely assigned animal and anthropomorphic designations from our self-ignorance. from us alone comes the story that is the night sky, the depths of which certainly having been forgotten, but only in that, our inner depths were forgotten first.

so, if a line of sight to one star is sighted, that exterbal line tracks through the eye and homeward to the within of human. depth without to depth within, line completed. thus, it is human which completes the entirety of universe, for human is the verse sang, singing and to be sung.

when will we tire of under rating our humanous, labeling ourselves as some collective devoid of spirit?

every one, each that is human, shine their returning light given the degree with which they have been by dark and negative conditions, opened to their within inner depths.

most deny any and all culpability in what is outlying, as if self-named saints to judge all without them in it as a dark and hellish punishment, they blaming everyine in it for their personally perceived misery.

some see their part/s in it, struggling to make a difference and thrown against inability to control that which itself is yet to be in it as part. they striking again and again, feeling as if swimming upstream in a crazy bent of insane vanity. yet, they striking over and over delivers them forth, brighter and brighter, surrendering by degrees. this is where selfishness would serve one whom desires for others as opposed to desiring for themself alone.

some have reached some indescribable plateau of restful resolve, clearly seeing it all, every part as themself within, feeling as the very bosom whereat it all rests wathcfully resolved. they rejecting nothing and embracing all, seeing all as purely human. for these recognize in remembrance that this plateau is that returning light collective to all light returning, and it is surely all good.

in this way all becomes sacred, through what can consciously conceive sacredness, through very human, that which all passes through and returning is through again. we, human, are that EYE, betwixt all and all, the center of.

borg? no

human? absolutely

"c'mon...make that change", because that is exactly what, if but seen, is happening NOW.

when? now
where? now
what? now
who? now
why? now|
and
how? |won through one returned home.

rednow|wonder, from 'do' unto 'od', you dodo birds.

"for the rest of my life" is when 'rest' is understood as it resting within very YOU.

peace out if peace within, from the scene within seeing them self as that scene without.

"cannot be removed" and fully redeemable.

"in the shadow are both that which need be redeemed and it's redeemer", they being one and the same, as name and nature, the named nature - human...naming that nature which of them awaits their rembrance within them.

does the inn have room? infinitely so

that christ within us shared, our collective consciousness as the inn, is no 'borg'; it is that which manger is reflective of, it as manger that image of the first image with-inn.

look then, to the within for this 'returning light', shining from within, through out and on; without judgement to what seems to be without, but rather with unconditional embrace of this most striking moment birthing forth from none other than You, and if You now, also each in every of One.

Greens for Sovereignty
It is hopeless to set about "fixing" the Borg. Instead we focus first on stopping our own suicide, not abandoning ourselves and redeeming our deep humanity. Regarding a diet for the redemption of our full humanity—the ability to break through ones own inertia, blockages, anxiety, depression, stagnation and Thanatos requires a metanoia and epiphany at the cellular level. To allow the bodymind to be reborn in its cosmic design necessitates much higher, refined energy than that which animated the “normalized” condition. Besides exercise and yoga the principle method of providing our caterpillar body with the resources it needs to turn into a butterfly is raw green smoothies and juices. Green smoothies can be made with fruit and a variety of leafy greens including: spinach, chard, kale, alfalfa greens, clover, nettle, raspberry leaves, dandelion, sunflower sprout greens, watercress, sorrel, knotweed, parsley, turnip tops, beet leaves, Moringa leaves and wolfberry leaves. Other non-starchy vegetables that can be added to green smoothies are things like tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, Aloe vera, celery and bell peppers. It is good to alternate between a various greens in order to avoid overloading the body with particular alkaloids. Regular vegetables that contain starch are best juiced rather than mixed with fruit in a smoothie. Juice friendly veges include: broccoli, cabbage, beets, carrots, peas, corn, pumpkin, zucchini, ginger and green beans. The stalks of kale, beet, broccoli and spinach are also best juiced. Living for a period solely on several green smoothies and vegetable juices per day will provide the energy necessary for ascension and allow the thorough detoxification necessary for emotional liberation. Don’t forget wheat grass juice also and wheat grass/clay body packs.
