Say more? Say what more? Top down awakening, K awakens from the top
down, what more to say??
Hmmmmm.. OK, Goddess what do I tell Lisa?
Here on the list, we refer to any type of spiritual awakening as
"Kundalini".. But strictly speaking, the Kundalini is sparked from the root
chakra, and people may experience psychic and paranormal experiences before
the snakes wake. The signs and symptoms list by El Collie, on the K-list
website mentions that what we call Kundalini is more often referred to as
spiritual awakening.
The root chakra where the K. sleeps, never really closes, cannot close
or you would be dead.. however, in most people it is only open enough to
let life flow.. no dancing serpents.
There are a lot of people who use magic and do energy work, who do not
have awakened K., as it is strictly defined. You can basically tell by
whether surrender fits into their paradigm. Wicca and other Free Will based
magical forms work fine, till the snakes wake, then suddenly the face
slapping effect Antoine mentioned kicks in, and free will based magic
becomes a warning to be careful what you pray for. A bad idea.
Some people may have an opened third eye and be psychic, without
getting the other symptoms we become so familiar with. Someone with only
the heart open, may be very loving and wise, without getting K. symptoms or
psychic experiences. Someone who does Reiki or Tai Chi may be sensitive to
energy, and able to manipulate it, but not K. awakened.
Often, there is some mixture.. like with Sean, he is discovering the
importance of surrender, having shot himself in the foot a few times,
playing with magic.. so there is serpent activity, but the other lower
chakras are not yet open.. they will open in their own time, but there not
being open yet is perfection, because he is having a hard enough time
dealing with what he's got.
Clearing the lower chakras is arguably, the harder part of the path. It
is easy to see perfection in the higher chakras, but as above, so below...
bringing that bliss and unconditionally loving perspective of the Higher
Self, down into the physical realm of day to day life is more challenging.
The lower chakras hold all the sticky issues of sex and death,
relationships, power, money, abundance, and seeing perfection even in the
violence of nature, and in the nasty side of human nature. Sorting that
stuff out is quite a trip.. and it is not unusual for people to lose most
of their relationships and their material possessions, and even have
someone in their life pass on, in some otherwise unrelated event.. as
Goddess raises the stakes to get them to let go of those dependencies and
material attachments. Does not always happen... but often enough.
However, the result is totally worth the stress. Leaving your body to
connect with spirit is fun, but the goal of K. is to get your whole body
clear enough and vibrating high enough so that Spirit can live there full time.
Life is even more blissful while you are in your body, as a daily
experience, than it can possibly be, out of it. No limit, to bliss...
Some spiritual or awakened people, never do clear the lower chakras..
if you hear a Yogi or preacher spewing on and on about how life on Earth is
Hell and celibacy is the only way to enlightenment.. or if they only
experience Bliss in meditation, when they are actually out of their body...
then you can know that their lower chakras are not clear, they have not yet
learned to see perfection in what Is, here and now in the physical
world. Goddess is all that Is, yes, even terrorists are Goddess too. The
wolf and the deer, both are Goddess.
There is only One Hand and the sound of the clapping is every sound,
and everything. The sound is the ear ringing om that is the most common K.
symptom.
So.. with a top down opening, the first symptoms are often visions and
psychic experiences, feelings of oneness. With a bottom-up awakening often
one of the first symptoms is overwhelming sexual desire and ecstacy.
However, spiritual awakening can start in any chakra.. and the process can
open the chakras in any order, often working on more than one at a time, or
moving around and alternating which one is the primary focus. It depends
on the individual, and seems to be affected by which chakras the hardest
karmic issues are stored in.
It is like panning for gold.. the water of spiritual energy washes away
the lighter sand easily, but the heavier metals remain to be picked out by
hand afterwards. The bigger/heavier stuff is easier to handle once you have
learned to have faith in the process and cope with higher levels of energy.
Goddess doesn't give you more than you can handle.. the harder stuff
comes later, but by then you have grown strong and wise enough to handle it
and come out lighter.
Still.. any generalizations I make, are just that.. generalizations.
Limitless manifestation makes every snowflake unique, and people too.
Blessings...
