Dear List,
Just sending love to all here. :))
The subject of Prana vs Kundalini has been often discussed. For a very
interesting article see: http://kundalini-gateway.org/kurt/k-faq.html#1b
Kurt writes in part:
The second opinion, espoused by Swami Shivom Tirth for example, is that prana
and Kundalini are absolutely equivalent and that it is not meaningful in any
way to describe a difference between Kundalini rising and prana rising. When
posed with question as to how to distinguish between pleasant sensations that
show some pranic-activity in the spine and the much more powerful experience
Swami Shivom Tirth said that the difference is not in the nature of the
activity but in the consciousness that observes it. If the consciousness that
experiences the pranic activity is seated within the spine (or more
correctly, the central channel, known as the sushumna), then the experience
is felt much more powerfully. "
Personally, I don't care what this energy is called--Kundalini, prana,
shakti, serpent power--or, for that matter, what/where it hails from. :)) For
me it is simply enough to experience it. Enough simply to be.
Doubting the K experience may be built into the kundalini experience.
Instilling doubt, therefore, is a pretty easy task. How can we, after all,
be really experiencing something so extraordinarily profound? Why me? is
often the cry--sometimes out of pain, and sometimes out of joy.
The experience is so powerful that one cannot really contain it as ordinary
thought--so the mind has no real way of measuring it or accepting it. So we
often doubt what we have experienced until the bliss hits us again and we say
in awe, "I'd forgotten..."
Gopi Krishna and Krishnamurti mentioned this doubt, too. Krishnamurti wrote:
"..all morning it had been there. It is not a make-believe, it's not desire
taking this form of sensation...Thought, having tried, realizes that it
cannot recall what had taken place..It is too vast for thought or desire to
conjure it up: it is too immense for the brain to bring it about. It's not
an illusion." From Krishnamurti's Notebook
I apologize for the fact that opening letters from Druout are no longer a
safe haven.
Love, Hillary
