Ha. I was the most unbalanced, self-oblivious, messed up egoself of a person you can imagine when Kundalini spontaneously awoke (well, I think I triggered it through prayer, i.e., a combination of intention and surrender, but that's another story entirely). I had no clue what Kundalini even was, and only the vaguest idea of what chakras were. It is entirely and absolutely untrue that one has to be in some state of perfection or something for Kundalini to awaken. Utter nonsense.

No, and no. But it probably happens to people. Just not to me. I had other mystical stuff going on from a young age, though (Kundalini didn't start to awaken until I was in my late twenties, though).

I know this isn't blocked Chakras, because I can let it flow through all of them if I chose.
Once again, your direct experience ♥♥♥♥♥s the offical dogma of others who claim to be authorities. This is the story of my life, too. In fact, Robert Bruce, whose site this is, talks about the "path of the master", in which you pretty much have to throw out everything everyone else says (you don't have to outright reject it; you can put it in the "possibly true" or "probably true" or "maybe true" or "interesting but not true for me" categories, and make up other categories as you go) and go on your own experience. I agree with this completely. The only thing in this world that's real is experience. Even our interpretation of our experience, our interpretation of the data, is subject to change. So what is "truth" when it comes to esoteric, subjective, personal experiences? Your truth, ultimately, is the only truth that matters in your own life story.

Not necessarily "wrong", but it's obviously not true for you. It's untrue for others, as well (I've had Kundalini rush up as well as down, on many occasions). They're being dogmatic, or they're so ego-bound they think that their experience (or the experience they were taught to have) is the only one valid.
Honestly, you find this in all walks of life, but it's everywhere in the realms people call "spiritual". Only their way is right, only their teaching is true, all others are false, wrong, invalid, maybe even evil. Bah. I have no use for that kind of nonsense. And from what you describe, you don't need to pay it any attention, either. People can and do believe what they will, and you can (and should, IMHO) let them, but you're under no obligation to take their dogma on board.
And, of course, this is just me speaking from long experience, interpreted as I interpret it, so you're free to throw this into the "possibly true" basket if you need to do, but I hope I at least gave you something to think about. I'm all about planting seeds.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
