The Kundalini Portal, Not Worth It
I'll pass, thanks.
"Mollie also taught me kundalini meditation while I was at Columbia. I practiced this diligently for a year before significantly scaring myself with an out-of-control explosion of energy racing up my spine---a hundred times more powerful than any orgasm. I wasn't prepared for this kind of success. I think of this as "the white hot poker up the ass trick"---very dangerous without an experienced teacher. The revered Indian yogi, Gopi Krishna, describes his own disastrous premature experience in his autobiography, The Awakening of Kundalini. It left him hospitalized and mentally ill with buzzing sounds and flashing lights in his head for years, until he finally integrated the experience---a very scary tale. I wish I had read it before, rather than after, my own adventure in the fire---another glimpse into the unseen world." page 59.
I admit, I haven't finished Targ's book yet, so I may be pre-judging his message, but it seems to me that he is dealing with his experience as if the kundalini energy was somewhat like electricity, like Ben Franklin and others experimenting with this natural and neutral but powerful force in order to learn to tame it. The kundalini spirit is often described as a serpent spirit that winds around your spine in 6 stages until it reaches the base of the brain. Serpents have been associated with various gods and goddesses and sentient spirits of some kind since pre-historic times. What if it really is a spirit? What if it's an evil spirit, the spiritual mafia? What if the meditation and rituals that engage this spiritual dimension really open a portal to a dimension that is far more than just neutral cosmic energy that needs to be channeled? Think about a snake. What if you found one in your back yard? What if it approached your dog or child? Most of us would take a hoe and kill it.
Many years ago, Jean Dixon claimed that a serpent wrapped itself around her body and gave her a revelation about the coming of the anti-Christ. Her prophecy, channeled by spirits that are probably just demons, has not come to pass, by the way. Nevertheless, there is a reason why a person that is opposed to everything that Christ taught, is represented as a serpent.
In Genesis 3:1, a serpent represents the enemy of God. The Pharaohs of ancient Egypt wore a serpent on their crown that represented a magical, fire-breathing goddess-protectress. Christians and practicing Jews are granted power to "tread on serpents and adders" (a metaphorical allusion to evil in the world and to demonic forces) in Psalm 91. Switching to the end of the Bible, we see the serpent of Genesis 12, that was metaphorically turned from a talking reptilian to a slithering, crawling snake, is now a cosmic dragon, the enemy of God and His church.
When Ouija Boards and certain occult rituals are activated, spiritual portals are opened, often by children just playing what they think is a game, or adults looking for exotic entertainment. Houses become haunted that way. I have a friend who used the board to tell the future. Two spirits began to chat with her all day long, so she didn't need the board anymore. She put it in a cupboard in the the garage and forgot about it. When she decided to go to church one day, the spirits pleaded with her to not do so. When she became a Christian, she asked her pastor why the spirits were still in her house. He asked her what she did with the board, which was still in the garage. He came over to her house and together they burned it in the fireplace. They claim they heard screams as two sparks came flying out into the living room. After that, the spirits left for good.
So, in my humble opinion, there is no amount of training, no promise of exotic knowledge or power, that would make me want a snake spirit coiling up my spine or that of anyone that I care about. When spiritual entities enter into an individual's life, it gives them leave to affect the entire family, from grandmas to babies, generation after generation.

I'm sure even Jesus Knew how to use his kundalini , you don't want it happening because your not spiritually open minded that is usually the way a sheep acts.
ReplyDeleteJesus represented the Judeo-Christian stream of history/theology that views itself dualistically separated and at odds with anything serpentish. The kundalini spirit is a serpent spirit that works its way up to your brain via chakra stations along your spine. It's an open invitation to be possessed by the spirit of the Kundalini experience. Jesus did not need the serpent. Or spirits. He had the creative power of the Trinity behind him, and uncountable amounts of angels to support and serve him. Anonymous, you simply do not know Who God is and how far beyond the serpent He is.
