Very thoughtful post.
I would like to add some further thoughts.
limited mind consciousness(ego) -> complete body consciousness -> animal
nature -> wanting to re-connect with nature
I wanted to add in the re-connecting to nature part especially. I think
many of us feel disconnected from nature, and I really long to find a way to
become whole with it on a permanent basis. To become one with the earth,
the animals, the mountains and the hills. The concrete city is like ego in
a way, suffocating and choking and nature, the healing mother prepared to
take anyone into her bosom and provide loving *healing* care.
I find it very difficult to accept my body, I criticise it a lot and yet
it's the platform for everything including the spiritual journey. The body
sexuality topic is for me the hardest one to deal with. Society's
repression has caused so much damage, it takes a long time to work your way
through the trauma. Just to repeat the words I am a sexual being is so very
difficult, and sometimes laughable. We should'nt take it seriously,
seriousness is a disease.
You mentioned the devil. To me the devil is nothing but the ego from a
Christian viewpoint. It's interesting to view sexuality as the devil.
I do trust Kundalini, however rough the journey is or hopefully is not, I
like to think of the Self guiding me home for the greater good.
