Since quite a few people were interested in this I post it to the list. If
any of you are interested in Light/sound-machines and have questions - get
in touch. I used to sell such technology a few years ago, and though I don't
sell them now, I know quite a bit about the technology and the market
(Actually, I believe that one of the mindmachines I used played a large part
in igniting my Kundalini...)

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.
Kundalini
The kundalini is a powerful energy that eastern religions say lies coiled at
the base of the
spine in humans. The kundalini feels like a warm liquidy magnetic energy
when it rises up
the spine. Once awakened, you will find that the kundalini gradually rises
and then slowly
subsides within the spine, only to rise again later on. Each time it rises,
it rises further up
the spine and will continue rising and subsiding until it eventually reaches
the brain. The
whole process may take months to complete.
There are a number of effects of the rising of this energy. All of these
effects are available
to those who have awakened the kundalini. Although you may have to ask for
some of these
qualities. It is for these effects that disciples have committed their
lives to raising the
kundalini energy over the ages.
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!

enjoyable than

2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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..c.:: I

goodness that many of the religious members of our society have tried to put
forth (Self

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.
6. Intuitional Knowledge: It is hard to say how someone knows things by
intuition, however,
one of the strongest experiences I had during the awakening of my kundalini
was that of
receiving (revealed) knowledge. It didn't really matter about what; it
could be how to play a
physical sport or any other interest, but when I received it, I either knew
with every fiber of
my being that it was revealed truth (The Lessons of Enlightenment) or I knew
with my mind
that I were being given a deep insight. The deep insight feelings have
stayed with me
through the years..c.:: It is hard to say how someone knows things by

7. Mystical Powers: One of the things you are taught on the spiritual path
is how to use
psychic powers. One of the fundamental laws of psychic powers is that you
can't influence
psychically that from which you feel separate. By removing the barriers of
the ego and
expanding the mind, you begin to lose that sense of separateness from
everything.
The other fundamental law of psychic powers is that if your go around using
psychic powers
for egotistical purposes, you are glorifying the ego (limited sense of self)
and are setting
yourself up to lose the positive effects of the kundalini and experience a
spiritual fall. An
absolute must is to only use exceptional powers when you are directed to by
the spirit. After
all, even Christ wouldn't perform for Herod's pleasure, when Herod wanted
Christ to show
him he was God!
8. Love and Protection: When I was experiencing the rise of the kundalini,
I always felt a
deep abiding sense of being loved and protected. It was almost as if my
soul was having a
very deep romance with the divine who looked over and protected me from all
harm.
Indeed, I was left with the impression that the only harm that could come to
me was from
my own hand. While awakened, these feelings of love and protection are
great at removing
fears.
Perils Of A Kundalini Awakening
The Kundalini is by definition a high energy state. Every high energy state
has negative side
effects if that energy is withdrawn (withdrawal symptoms). Vitality, for
example, is a high
energy generally stable state. If vitality if withdrawn, as in extreme old
age, the body
become decrepit, weakened and diseased. Sexual experience is a high energy
highly
unstable state. Upon climax, sexual energy is withdrawn and you feel tired,
weakened, and
lose interest in sex for a time. Daily vigorousness is a moderate stable
generally high energy
state (at least in childhood). When withdrawn at the end of each day,
tiredness and sleep is
the result. Any energy state, especially a high energy state, upon
withdrawal of that energy,
has withdrawal symptoms. The kundalini is no exception!
The severity of the withdrawal symptoms appear to be related to how long the
kundalini has
been active. If you awaken the kundalini, and only feel the bliss for a few
days, and then
shut it down, you may only feel depressed or blue for several days. If the
kundalini has been
awakened for several weeks, you will probably experience a spiritual fall
that lasts for
several days to a week or more.
The signs and symptoms of a Spiritual Fall are as follows: 1. A collapse
sensation felt within
the mind. 2. A feeling of fear that grows over time. 3. A feeling of
mental anguish or pain
that increases over time. 4 Confusion and short term memory loss. 5. A
direct and
profound confrontation with suppressed subconscious material and dissociated
self concepts
that may result in a lasting internal conflict or worse. These are all
psychological
withdrawal symptoms. I am not a physician, but other than symptoms
associated with
mental shock, I have never felt any symptoms I would associate with physical
withdrawal
symptoms (shaking, delirium, sweating, etc.)
If you survive, most of these symptoms last for several days and then
gradually will get
better as things stabilize. In my mind, it is not at all certain someone in
poor health would
survive a really bad fall. A full fledged spiritual fall can be hard on you
physically.
However, if you survive, you will probably be left with recurring anxiety
attacks and after a
period of time the kundalini will be trying to burn itself through any
psychological block (see
Kundalini: The Evolutionary Energy In Man, by Gopi Krishna).
So that's is pretty heavy, isn't it! Soon, I will tell you that no one need
ever go through a fall
again. However, what I have described above is exactly why the specifics of
this knowledge
has been kept secret for ages. Generally, the knowledge that has been
released by those in
the know has been pretty watered down. Any one who wanted enlightenment
from a valid
spiritual master had to go through initiation and years of training. This
was to make sure
that a disciple really wanted enlightenment more than anything in the world
and that he/she
was purified enough so that a spiritual fall was unlikely to happen by
itself. An awakening
before this is what has been termed a premature awakening.
What normally shuts the kundalini down is simply the inability or the
unwillingness to keep
it going. The inability to keep it going results from the subconsciousness
mind being
unwilling to look at powerful suppressed events. Generally, the
subconscious mind uses
external material objects that have previously given pleasure to displace
the pain and
memories of an unpleasant event. Integration is a fundamental part of the
kundalini
experience. The kundalini, like any stimulative energy, will bring up
suppressed material
and you have to be willing to let go of that material and any desires
(material attachments)
you used to repress it. For this situation, it may be better to integrate
this material before
you awaken the kundalini (see Awakening Mind 2).
If you are a user of Light and Sound Sessions, you should know that you can
not use another
light and sound session without running the risk of shutting down the
kundalini. This is an
easy thing to do, but any technology that can aid in enlightenment can
remove
enlightenment!
Many people wonder if you can have sex after a kundalini awakening. There
have been
enlightened people in India who were either a husband or wife and yet had
sex. My
understanding is that it hinders the rising of the kundalini. I think the
only way sex would
stop the kundalini is if you really lost yourself in the climax.
You will also shut the kundalini down if at some point you decide you don't
want to go
through it any more and refuse to cooperate with it. Your will is supreme .
. at least in the
short run. If you decide against even a force as strong as the kundalini,
you will shut it
down. I have described the effects of the kundalini, if there are some of
those effects you
don't want, then don't even think of awakening this force. I have described
the effects of a
spiritual fall, if you don't want to risk those effects, then don't even
think about awakening
the kundalini. Pass it by and go on with your life.
On the other hand, if you are looking for something deeply rewarding,
something
enlivening, and something that causes spiritual and mental evolution,
awakening and
enlightenment, then the kundalini experience is for you.
These are the risks that have been run by disciples of the kundalini through
the ages.
Technology has changed all of that. The good news is that many if not all
of the effects of a
spiritual fall are reversible with the help of light and sound sessions if
caught in time. Pre
existing psychological conditions aggravated by a fall are not reversible
without further
integrative work. No one need ever go through what I have described above.
I have
included full instructions on how to awaken the kundalini and how to stop a
spiritual fall in
the Awakening Mind 1 manual.
Awakening the Kundalini;
Natural Method
Although this method is not the only way to do it, the following method is
the one with
which I am most familiar. In general, to awaken the kundalini naturally,
two things are
necessary. You must be able to enter a deep meditative trance state and
when you do, you
must have enough residual energy so that the kundalini will naturally
awaken. This is
accomplished using the following methods.
The first part of this process is to enter a deep meditative trance state.
While lying down,
take slow deep breaths through your nose. You don't want to become over
stimulated while
doing this, so don't breath too fast. While you are doing this gently
concentrate on your
breathing. If your mind wanders and you stop deep breathing, don't let it
bother you, just
resume again. Eventually, you will slip into a trance state. It is not
likely that you will raise
the kundalini while lying down. However, this practice is extremely
important in learning
how to enter the trance state.
The trance state always feels like less time has elapsed than actually has
elapsed. However,
there are varying degrees of depth to the trance state. Occasionally, you
will be aware
while in trance. During this experience, time feels like it has been
suspended. Sometimes,
you will not be aware while in trance; at these times, you will experience a
sort of missing
time.
Once you have mastered the trance state while lying down, you are ready to
go to practicing
it while sitting up with your back as straight as you can. While
practicing the following
techniques don't strain and perform them in a quiet, secluded place. If
necessary take your
phone off the hook and put the kids to bed.
I suggest you start by practicing a yoga breathing technique called
"alternate nostril
breathing." Alternate nostril breathing calms the mind and energizes the
third eye chakra.
Alternate nostril breathing is performed in the following manner. Rest the
base of the palm
of your right hand on your chin and your three middle fingers on your
forehead; if necessary
rest your elbow on a table. Gently press closed your left nostril with your
little finger and
breath in through your right nostril. Now, close your right nostril with
your thumb, and
slowly breath out through your left nostril. Next, breath in through your
left nostril, while
your thumb holds the right nostril closed. Finally, breath out through you
right nostril while
your left nostril is held closed by your little finger. Repeat the process
over and over until
your mind clears of thoughts and is relaxed.
Once your mind is quiet and relaxed rest your hands on your lap or a table
and start slow
deep breathing through your nose. Eventually, you will slip into a
meditative trance state.
If you have enough residual energy from the breathing exercises, your third
eye or crown
chakra will awaken, you will see brilliant flashes of light in your mind, be
brought instantly
out of trance state, and feel alot of bliss.
While practicing any of the above exercises, you should feel no strain at
all. Sit against the
side of your bed or in a chair to relax you back if you need to. Don't
force yourself to breath
in or out rapidly. If any of your muscles feel tense, consciously try to
relax them. If your
mind is restless keep doing the alternate nostril breathing, but don't force
your mind to be
calm.
Personally, I much prefer the following artificial method. You have much
more control
over your mental state and can compensate for a fall, if it should occur.
Whether the
kundalini will awaken with the natural method is hit or miss. It depends
upon how much
energy exists within you when you enter trance state, how straight your back
is, and how
complete a trance state you enter. With the artificial method, you have
exact control over
your energy state. However, with the artificial method, you must have
access to a computer,
light and sound machine, or a tape player.
Artificial Method
The kundalini is easily awakened using light and sound sessions. Indeed it
is only the sound
portion of light and sound sessions that is needed to awaken the kundalini.
The principle
involved is quite simple. All you have to do is to use a session to put
yourself into a very
deep trance like state and then stimulate the mind. Nothing is easier to do
with a light and
sound session.
This works is because the trance like state removes the ego's barriers and
the stimulation
awakens the kundalini. This is equivalent to saying that the trance state
unlocks the door,
and the stimulation open it. After the door is open it is up to you to
follow through. The
session will awaken automatically the kundalini, however you have to be
ready to commit to
its rising.
The following frequencies are the ones used within the enlightenment
session:
Stage 1 & 3
257 250
236 243
Stage 2
261 254
233 240
Stage 1 & 3 provides the trance state. Stage 2 provides the stimulation.
There are a great many things that you need to know before you can begin to
successfully
use this session: durations, waveform, volume, filters, exact practice, what
to do if the trance
state doesn't take, etc. All of these things, plus who should or should not
use light and
sound session, what to expect to occur at various frequencies, how to write
effective
sessions, and much more is explained in the Awakening Mind manual listed
within the back
of this monograph.
The effects of either the trance or the stimulative state taken separately
wear off after a
couple of days. After that time it is all your energy and you must either
do what it takes to
keep the kundalini going or resist it and shut it down. The next section is
all about keeping
the kundalini going.
Riding The Kundalini
The way to ride the kundalini is to pay its price. The price of the
kundalini is not demanded
of you, it is simply asked. It is always your decision whether you will
give that price or not. .
.Always. The price of the kundalini is very simple. Every time you feel
the blissful effects of
the kundalini simply loose yourself in it, no matter what. This is the same
as saying that you
give complete devotion to the Spirit of God, nothing more, nothing less.
What primarily is
asked of any disciple of the kundalini is simply that you surrender yourself
to it and loose
yourself in it (as you might loose yourself in a good movie at a theater).
Also, when the spirit within you asks you to do something; simply do it. I
doubt very much
that you will be asked to do anything harmful. However, the fundamental
price of the
kundalini is that you lose the ego within it and fully cooperate with it to
the best of your
ability. Render unto God, that which is God's (who you are and what you are
devoted to
(what you want)). It is that simple. Eventually, you will be asked to let
go of any material
desires or attachments that blocks full awareness. What will be shown to
you in return is
that you are not who you thought you were and that what you thought you
wanted, wasn't
what you wanted at all.
Postlog
The kundalini changes everything. It can alter your life forever. The
kundalini is the
awakening of true spirituality in humans. It is not without risks, but then
nothing in life is.
It is however the most remarkable and fulfilling journey you will ever take.
I have written this monograph as an aid to those who have, are, or will
undergo a kundalini
awakening. It is meant to be a reference work to keep any serious student
on track and to
honestly inform anyone thinking about taking this journey. I wish you all
of the best in your
spiritual journeys.

About the Author;
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. In 1992, I wrote the
Awakening Mind 1
manual that details how to use light and sound sessions to create natural
and altered states
of mind (OOBEs, and Kundalini states, etc.) Altered states and light and
sound sessions are
my passion.
I don't think of myself as a guru (dispeller of darkness). A guru quite
often is the path (as
Christ said "I am the way, the truth, and the life"). I am rather a teacher
of what I know. I
am one who has found the doorway and the key and simply points it out and
helps others
who want to open it and walk through.
