Hi,
This makes perfect sense, that stripping away unconscious layers of
personality, healing emotions etc. until there's nothing left would mean a
person would get back to their true enlightened being. From reading Eckhart
Tolle's The Power of Now and Byron Katie's Loving What Is, this is what I
thought enlightenment meant.
But, how does Kundalini fit into this? Does active kundalini automatically
cause the release of negative emotions, etc. until a person becomes
awakened?
Can someone have awakened kundalini but not be enlightened? Can a person be
enlightened without awakened kundalini?
What about people like Eckhart Tolle who went through years of depression
and suicidal thoughts and then awoke one morning to find that suddenly all
their emotional issues had gone and they were left in a state of bliss -- is
this a result of kundalini?
> all the layers gathererd between birth and death will be left behind you.
> when you become enlightened,you dont become a new person..infact you dont
gain anything,you lose something.you lose your chains,you lose your
bondage,you lose your misery,you go on losing.
> enlightenment is a process of losing.when there is nothing left to
lose,there is nirvana.that state of utter silence that can be called
enlightenment.
Best Regards,
Lyndon
