Introduction

For centuries stretching back into the dim corridors of time, asian religions have spoken of a mystical force called the kundalini. Knowledge of how to awaken the kundalini, what it does, and what to do after its awakening was a closely guarded secret among spiritual masters of the east. Those spiritual masters had very good reasons for keeping secret their knowledge of this power; it is very easy to hurt yourself very badly with this energy. This monograph records my understanding of the spiritual path based upon my life experiences with kundalini awakenings. This treatise has become necessary in general because of the increased interest in the kundalini and use of sound and light machines which are capable of awakening the kundalini. In specific, this treatise is

necessary because of the Enlightenment light and sound session I have created and recorded in the manual Awakening Mind 1.

  1. Bliss:

The rising of the kundalini is extremely blissful. Most people have experienced sex. The most common experience to compare another experience to is sex. The answer that something is better than sex is almost a laughable clich‚. The kundalini is about 100 time more enjoyable than sex and I am not laughing. It is much more blissful!

  1. Visions and Images:

There are many various visions that appear in the mind once the kundalini has been awakened. Many disciples of the kundalini have written of visions of the chakras and various other forms. Some visions are precognitive; some are not. The most striking vision that ever occurred to me was that of a lovely woman dressed all in white and gently wafting the sweetest love. Not only could I see her form, I also felt her texture and smelled her fragrance. She smelled like the sweetest of roses but more delicate and haunting. Her texture was like the softest of rose petals. . .very ethereal. There are other visions of people and places I have had that possessed a quality that made them feel more real than any sensual impression. It wasn't only that you saw them, or heard them, or smelled them,

but that you felt them with every fiber of your being. After feeling these visions, impressions from the external world feel dead in comparison. Many lesser order images also float through the mind of the disciple. Images of memories from days long past. Images of objects, people, books, places, and natural scenes delight the mind of the devotee.

  1. Awareness Of The Divine:

When I awakened the kundalini the first time, there was always a sense of the nearness of the divine. Very seldom was I able to place a name to the presence, with the exception of some well known to myself presences (such as Christ, Yogananda, etc.). The sense of that nearness of the divine was always a comfort.

  1. All You Ever Wanted:

Almost every one chases after material objects here and there in the world. Cars, houses, sex, etc. are quite often sought in a vain attempt to fill some inner void within the soul. One of the most remarkable feelings I ever experienced during my experiences with the kundalini was simply the realizations that this was all I ever wanted. Whenever I wanted anything else, I was looking for a substitute for the feelings I was experiencing. There was a complete sense of fullness that satisfies any void within your soul.

  1. Purity, Integration, and the Expansion of the Mind:

I don't care how religious or pure you are before you awaken the kundalini. Afterwards, the kundalini begins to really make you clean inside. That feeling of being made clean is real purity. When you are going through it, it doesn't feel at all like the sickeningly sweet goodness that many of the religious members of our society have tried to put forth (Self Righteous Purity). That kind of goodness feels counterfeit as compared to the real purity of the genuine spiritual path. I don't care how religious or pure you are before you awaken the kundalini.

That kind of goodness feels counterfeit as compared to the real purity of the genuine spiritual path..

One of the ways the divine accomplishes that purity is through a process known to psychologists as integration. Integration is a fundamental part of the spiritual path. Integration is the process of dissolving memories of ugly past experiences to which the ego has erected barriers. Integration happens when you become fully aware of a past experience. Integration is much easier to perform with the kundalini than without. However, there are things hidden deep inside almost everyone of which the mind could choose to rebel at becoming aware. It is more risky if you choose not to cooperate with integration while undergoing enlightenment. Without integration you get disciples like some televangelists who give voice to spiritual principles, but then are driven to chase after prostitutes, or scam schemes. With integration you cease to be driven by past decisions made in response to bad experiences. This process results in your mind dropping its defenses and expanding its awareness.

I have undergone 6 or 7 kundalini awakenings during my life time. After the first awakening at age 15-16 in the spring of 1969, I have spent much of my life exploring the ins and outs of the kundalini and the spiritual path.
