I thought kundalini was bs

I had shaktipat intiation 24 years ago. It's true; the first few years are intense. Some left the path because they felt it was bringing all hope down around them in terms of work, relationships, etc. Some had to stop doing the practices or greatly reduced them because of physical pain and other symptoms it brought about. I had a lot of intense experience as well but, as said, change is hard in the beginning, messy in the middle, and georgeous in the end. The spiritual practice now is so ripe. My wishes have become fulfilled to build my life around practice. Contentment is expanded and making the prana light and meditation come easy. The fruit of yoga has gradually come about. Deep peace and inner strength are at my fingertips. Unification of mind is the key. "Be of one mind."

It is like an airplane needing to gain altitude to get through the stormy clouds and then eventually breaking out into the great calm.

Four gateways to liberation paraphrased from the Yoga Vasishtha:

contentment
satsang - holy company
self-inquiry - meditation and liberating mantra bear same fruit in my experience
self-control

If any one of these is present within, the rest will follow.

so what hv you accomplished outside your own feeling of peace, harmony, bliss?

do you feel this contributes somehow to better global consciousness or somesuch?

what are your intentions? or do you not hv any?

lolol

with everlasting life there is no "final task"

no nirvana or heaven to be reached, only to bring into fruition here in this 'reality'

The Dubious Panda I'm referring to, still has an account, with said handle. He still posts after being gone for several years.

However..his posts are more erratic than I can make sense of. Again..further showing the destructive nature of these energies and the Mind..

The path to heaven is filled with light. When the Ajna chakra is activated you see it as a bright light shining with the power of thousand suns.

When you reach the heavenly abode of the crown chakra you'll experience a light shining as a million suns. It's a one of a kind experience recorded in history as the kingdom of God bathed in light. The saints who have experienced this light are depicted with a halo in reverence.

Truth.

It was growing up in the church and what I've learned there, that has kept me from much the same fate as the others. That. A ton of stubbornness, self-work, discipline, praying for guidance, punishment, and trial..keeps me walking the narrow path.


What it was in the beginning, is I was being told things contrary to what I was experiencing, by people I had decided to trust. They would blow off my fears..while still pushing the 'dancing'. Those who knew, stayed silent. For years. And still do. I know who they are though. I do wonder if they wonder, why I don't out them. Pretty obvious though.


It is energetic vampirism.

Kundalini and what led up to it..came before the vampires. But only just.

As I mentioned, Dubious Panda made that post, which made sense to me, of what was happening beyond the 'Kundalini awakening' or activation.

When I said ancients used kundalini energy in everyday life I was going to tell you about the Native American ritual of rain dance. I ran into a Native American feast once and was in wonder seeing them dancing and calling to nature.
It's only 20 years later I realised they were doing energy work and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Nothing has changed but the realisation was profound.
If you looked into history you'll find that traditional practices were all about nature and using the energies in nature to reach God. Directly asking God to intervene.
It pains me to learn that Native Americans were exterminated to suppress this knowledge.
