I've often wondered about this, some spiritual teachers claim that all traits
such as charisma, verbal skills, imagination, genius, whatever, are always
due to kundalini (although genetics and upbringing might have something to do
with it also...). This makes theoretical sense if one considers kundalini to
be the primal energy that creates eeverything. On the other hand powerful
people in the worldly sense, even when equipped with exceptional
characteristics rarely show the spiritual drive and orientation that seem to
come upon the "normal" person awakening shakti.

I remember some years back, I worked briefly for a guy who had made an
enormous amount of money in real estate and business by basically being
exceptionally shrewd (and also ruthless ). Anyway, this person literally
oozed power - and it wasn't the money that did it. When he came into a room
one could immediately sense a strong, almost electrical field of force and
authority around him. He also had that capacity to bend people's will
according to his purposes and it was very hard to resist even if one was
aware of what was happening. So, definitely lots of shakti - but would this
be just inborn and aquired karmic power or what ?

I know that in the end it's all just Ma's play, but still I find it's an
interesting question - Or, look at Bill Clinton, he seems to have charisma
and he also exudes something of an aura ( even if in his case a lot of the
shakti gets used in extracurricular activities ...) - maybe you guys in the
States have a kundalini-active president ? Maybe he's the Messiah ?

Just joking
