Subject: [K-list] Kundalini, a self regeneration process?

Dear T,
I think that when we start seeing Kundalini in a different light, more as
our innate process of self regeneration, an in-born auto-therapy that can be
trusted, and when we see the stuff that comes up with Kundalini (real or not
or whatever) as that which contributed to our loss of original self
(imagined, illusive or not), or as signs of progress (real or imagined or
otherwise), then there is no problem with Kundalini the way you state it:
> Kundalini is as real as the mind.
> In fact is it not the mind or the direction of attention, for it is
extant?
> It is all in the imagination of the mind and doesn't lead to 'moksha'
Whatever K is, however we formulate or define K, whether it be mental or
physical, real or illusive... we seem to want to deal with something here...
however "extant" it is, whatever your meaning of the word is.
No matter what, you are dealing with something here for many years
already... The proof is in the emails that you write, something extant
enough for you to write about it. And that is good..., very good in fact...
So thanks...
Compare the kundalini process to the healing process that your body employs
after you have been physically wounded. One cleanses the wound by taking out
or expelling the grit, the bullet, the fragments, the sickening agent. You
either do it yourself, have it done or the inflammation and puss will take
care of it and bring it all to the surface. When the wound is in its final
healing stages, you will see lots of scabs, new skin forming, scar tissue or
eventually some vague leftover skin marks.
Kundalini is like that but it works on societal, emotional, psychological
and spiritual wounds, very often in a complex mix with physical stresses
that are caused by those wounds (Or those physical stresses may even have
cause an array of non physical wounds.)
Let's deal with kundalini that way... a self healing mechanism that works.
(A life time warranty at birth: "When all else fails use K, just add love.)
Dealing with the kundalini process the wrong way, (and you are right when
you say that that happens all too often) the wrong way is like dramatizing
symptoms and afflictions the way some people who are attached to their
physical ailments advertise them: "Look at my scars", "Look at my cast! Do
you want to sign it?" or "The third time I am hospitalized and now I'm in
for a triple bypass."
That is like poking at the bone fragments, or picking at scabs and showing
them off to the world. Of course the wounds will take longer to heal, they
may even reinfect and not be healed for a long time.
The kundalini process, when it can run its course with trust, support and
understanding leads towards its own disappearance until eventually only
'moksha' remains...
No scar tissue here!
It is important though, for the time being, that the marks of this process
are being talked about. The specifics of the process have to be written
about for people to recognize what it is they are experiencing. So that they
may know that they are in fact healing themselves, in spite of the fact that
the signposts are pointing the other way, turned around by
non-compassionate, mis-understanding individuals who would be begrudging
someone else's liberation, being afraid that they will be left out in the
cold, all by themselves.
Itzhak Bentov called the process the "Physio-Kundalini Syndrome", Yvonne
Kason MD wrote a very good book on this ("A Farther Shore").
The way it is now, we have to a self-diagnose, as medical people hardly have
an inkling about this.... and when confronted with people who show these
signs they may end up sending them to mental institutions, prescribing the
wrong medication (there is some helpful medication), or (and you know enough
about that)...these people may end up in non beneficial quasi-liberating
environments where these people can be led astray even more by, as you might
say, "Manipulative miracle workers."
Love, Wim
