Maybe it is ?
Even Gautama Buddha himself was K awakened, as symbolized by the serpent king Mucalinda, who came
to him and coiled himself around the Buddha 7 times
to protect Buddha right after he had /was achieving
enlightenment.
Why do things have to be difficult ?
Ramana Maharshi said ppl could practice the ultimate
bliss, being in Nirvikalpa Samadhi right from the start
and had to modify his teachings for ppl who absolutely
refused to
believe enlightenment could possibly be as simple as he
outlined and suggested it.
It is all a matter of perspective.

It is all a matter of perspective. The bliss and / or
pain are just ego attachments but
until the ego is truly abolished, it is good to share
of experiences and gain some reassurance.
of whatever one needs to gain reassurance of.
The true self is beside all Kundalini this or that.
K is just a helpful way to realizing one*s
true nature. The purpose of K is not to perturb anyone*s
life or sanity, the purpose of it is to bring the
person having the K home.
Read Ramana Maharshi and you*ll know what I mean.
Besides, when are one allowed to speak of K ?
When one has a little bit, or some of it or lots ?
