Kundalini and Slef-Imposed Sacrifices
This is a reply to a scholar whom I love, who asked me yet again how to proceed further with the use of spiritual technologies, remaining in a safe environment.
Technologically speaking, all those who have based their progress on technical effects of energy and it’s expansion have reached the artificial experience of enlightenment without reaching the level of self realization. It is possible to perceive unity in all things, have a very high TV, have fuse the human ego, the spiritual ego (of the refined soul) as well as the Divine plane, without being it, incarnated in the flesh.
Technologically speaking, when kundalini flows uninterrupted from the base to the crown chakra, and shoots up, the vital body is enlightened. We have 7 kundalinis. The first one, physical, is common in full amongst everybody, otherwise there could be no life in the biological body. Then there is the second kundalini, associated with energy and the vital body (chi), which is stacked on the physical body. When that kundalini rises, we witness geniuses, super-athletes, high TVs, and everything which can be commonly observed. At this level, some people talk of enlightenment since the nervous system is so saturated with pure energy that its experience is supernatural.
It is only when the 3rd kundalini rises that we can talk about evolution. This is the emotional body’s kundalini. It is more than an energy and a technology, it is an emotional experience of beatitude, of oneness with beings at the existential level, as opposed to the second kundalini which provides only sporadic perceptual experiences of unity. This third kundalini leads to self realization. It is rare that someone who reached that level will be born again.
As a half-divinity, we then learn to manage creation in the world as well as all those other things which cannot be experiences thru a unique biological incarnation, such as a human being. It is so limited that it is extremely rare to witness someone working on the 4th kundalini as an incarned human being.
Every few hundred years, a human is born with experiences of the 5th kundalini. Those are the ones who can make instant miracles without strain and who are always in a divine state (Jesus, Sakyamuni, Krishna, Zoroastre, Lao Zi, Kuthumi…). Even those who make miracles very often, who appear on TV (like Mother Theresa) are not Avatars (from the Sanskrit word Avatar, which means fully incarned God) but have reached their 2nd, sometimes 3rd kundalini. Saints in this world have accomplished their second or third kundalini and still come back to know themselves as Christ, as a Buddha, as an incarnation of Vishnu, as a Divinity in human form.
The 4th kundalini touches the whole of humanity. The 5th touches the entire planet with every word, with every action, and humanity itself isn’t capable of bearing such a being more than once or twice per millennium.
From the dawn of history, no human have ever been born with the 6th or 7th kundalini, since those are associated with galaxies and the entire universe. It is the kundalini that fissions suns and the the flux of galactic nebulae. A human being who pretends to be living at this level is simply blowing his ego without really knowing what it’s all about. At this level, humanity as a whole is but a mere swarm of bugs, irrelevant to the balance of the bigger whole.
Thus, what you feel is the second kundalini. You must accomplish it totally in order to facilitate the experience of the 3rd. What you felt was your third kundalini waking up. It doesn’t rise yet. The divine-grade emotional experiences that you have now and then are only vapors that emanates from your emotional kundalini. When it truly and completely fuses with your base chakra of your emotional body, your faith will be unwavering, immovable, absolutely no doubt will remain in your being (there might be some technical curiosity issues, but no existential doubt). Then you will be conscious of the movement of karma in all things (2nd emotional chakra), then the consciousness of life and of divine power in all things (emotional solar plexus) and so on, until you get to the emotional 3rd eye when the experience of humanity will not remain a mystery. You will get all the existential information you need by simply paying attention to a subject or a person, and revelations will simply happen by themselves.
You are starting this 3rd level, I suggest you keep going. I didn’t want to simply confirm your question, I wanted this to be an experience for you.
However, no realized being has reached that level without being confronted with the destruction of the ego thru experience. They have all experiences being sent to prison, being sick, being terrorized, being lost, being tortured, etc. Nobody has completed self realization (full 3rd kundalini) without having gone thru extreme human experiences, for a short while. Think what you want, say what you want, but you will never reach a Divine experience confined in your intellectual fortress of “evolutionary technology”. Everybody claims to have reached this or that level. Everybody claims to have understood this or that, convinced of their Divine experience so strong it is, so present is the energy. Then, all those saints and scholars incarnate again, leaving the soul wondering yet again: “Damn! How come I’m back yet again for the 4th, 5th or 10th time? I was convinced to have raised my kundalini with all the available methods and mastered all experiences perfectly! How can this be possible?”
So, I answer this to you once again, if you think you have mastered your ego thru a complete purification, thru perfect mastery of yourself, you are right: you are indeed at this level. However, in order to realize yourself to the level of Divinity on earth, you still have to go thru the experience that will confirm the dissolution of your human for the sake of the Soul. In all of history, for all realized beings, none of them have reached that level without going into the world to experience the confirmation that they were free of their human. None. As long as you don’t experience this on a small scale (such as temporary quests, or getting rid of all your belongings, of leave your family for many years…) you will never know. No mental fantasy can deliver the real experience.
To become the Nexus (I borrow the word you are using), you cannot be a human. Any hesitation to make a step that would confirm to you, thru experience, that you are afraid to cease to be a human, the smallest of hesitation, is a proof of the illusion in which you comfortably cloak yourself.
In my early 20s, my experiences were so clear and powerful that I was convinced to have reached this or that level. Yet, I couldn’t make miracles on demand, they would just happen on a very small scale. Since then, I have given all of my possession, I have begged 9 months in the streets (3 days would have been enough), I have slept on a floor with nothing but a blanket for a few weeks, I have gone 3 weeks without communicating nor talking just to discover what it was like, I have fasted a whole week, drinking only water, devoting myself to meditation and sacred chants. I have done what I had to do in order to confront my human and all it’s comforting technological energy systems. Since that time, I have managed to create matter, but find no use for this. I have managed to do telekinesis, but see no use for it either. I have resurrected someone I love when he died (this can be done 3 times over the course of a lifetime, when fully accomplished). Now, new-age intellectuals, convinced they hold the wisdom of the world, can say what they want. We can discover ourselves as incarned Divinity only when we purify ourselves thru experience.
Make the sacrifices you feel ready to experience. Force yourself thru small challenges, one step at a time. But do it… or come back yet again wondering why it is necessary to start all over.
