Are any experiences grounded in reality? It's just experience, unfolding
brain chemistry. Is there a "plane of awareness", seperate from everyday
plane? Is there anything that is seperate from anything else? There is a
huge continuum of various states of the brain, and kundalini is
somewhere there.
Are hallucinations induced by kundalini different from hallucinations
induced by psychosis? Does it matter, psychosis being just a word/label
for some state of the brain. It's a different state, we know it. Seeing
the psyche in the strict duality between psychosis/sanity is futile,
since it doesn't really model the brain very well. What we *do* know is,
k-active brain works different from totally "sane" brain, so some
psychologists might jump to label it as pathological a bit too eagerly.
Accepting some of one's experiences as hallucinations doesn't
immediately put you in the same group schizophrenics. In fact, it might
be the thing that distinguishes you from them ;-).
I think trying to convince oneself that one's experiences are "real" at
some "plane" is a form of escapism. It is pretty safe to assume that the
basic laws of nature (physics) are approximately correct, and there is
nothing in Enlightenment that is not in harmony with those laws.
Psychology is not exact science (hardly a science at all), so we don't
need to pay too much attention to it.

Why should we care about spiritual future, since we already have all the
time in the universe contained in the eternal now?

And if it doesn't work, just stay alive and observe where the energy is
pushing you.
