Chapter One: KUNDALINI: THE TRANSFORMER
Kundalini is a spiritual energy which is meant to transform our physical creations to a higher vibration. Everything is energy. Simply stated, matter is slow moving energy. Physical matter is so slow moving that we can see it with our physical eyes. Physical matter is a lower and slower vibration than pure spiritual energy. Spirit is a fast-moving energy that is not usually seen by the physical eyes. Kundalini energy helps bring these two vibrations, high and low, together. The kundalini flow of energy through the body helps bring the physical vibration up so the high vibration of spirit can more easily flow through the physical form. Kundalini energy unites the spiritual with the physical.
Kundalini means “coiled up.” It is often described like a coiled snake in its characteristics and is often depicted in the image of a coiled snake in Eastern religions. Kundalini energy is dormant until stimulated by a soul’s conscious preparation or unconscious actions and behavior. It can be quiet for a long time, and then “uncoil” suddenly and frighten the body with its speed and power. Kundalini energy is latent in every person. Everything is energy, and kundalini is the energy transformer available to everyone. It takes several lifetimes for a soul to consciously control its kundalini energy, but it may arise at any time depending on the soul’s development, focus or desire.
You must constantly evaluate your beliefs, ideas, and concepts when focusing on a spiritual path. Spiritual growth provides a great challenge to stay in control and on your true path. Kundalini energy moves you along so rapidly, you must stay spiritually focused to remain true to yourself. The physical world offers many temptations, and kundalini energy speeds up their presentation, so you need information rapidly. Ask yourself what your reasons are for wanting to turn on your kundalini. If you do not know yourself, you may need to meditate for some time before focusing on your kundalini energy.
Kundalini energy transforms what you, the spirit, have created in physical matter into spiritual energy. If you have created a healthy body full of affinity, happiness, and joy, your kundalini energy will immediately translate this energy to a higher vibration for you, the spirit, to flow into and through. If you have created pain, misery, and fear, your kundalini energy will translate these into a higher vibration; this means you will have to begin your transformation with intense healing work. There is a drastic difference between the two extremes just described. Most people are somewhere in between with both joy and sadness, fear and love, and pain and happiness. The nature of the transformation created by kundalini energy is dependent on your creativity. If you have created clarity, the transformation will be easy. If you have created a system cluttered with debilitating energies, you will have a challenging or difficult transformation.
You, the spirit, are the creator of your reality in the physical world. You are energy and you use energy to create in matter. Once you have manifested into matter at your conception and come into the material reality at your birth, you continue to create your beliefs into material form through your physical body. The kundalini process helps you transform your energy into the physical form, and then transforms whatever you have created in the physical form back into spiritual energy. The most obvious times you accomplish this transformation are when you come into the body at birth and when you leave your body at death.
Some souls use kundalini energy at conception and birth to help them bring more of their energy into the body at the beginning of their earthly experience. A man I knew many years ago had great difficulty getting space from his mother because she had a kundalini experience during his birth and believed that he was the Christ child. She saw colors around him when he was born and saw colors in her own head during the birth. She had an experience of spiritual ecstasy and believed it indicated the divinity of her child. She did not know that everyone is divine, so she thought her child was special. As an adult, her son sought spiritual information to explain his mother’s experiences at his birth in order to save himself from his mother’s expectations. Even though he learned about kundalini energy and how it affected his birth and taught her about its effects, she did not want to give up her ideals about her son. She enjoyed following him around so much that she did not want to change her game. Kundalini energy is often misunderstood and can also be misused.
Other souls do not become acquainted with kundalini energy until later in their physical life. Many souls do not begin this transformation of spiritualizing the physical body until they are older. They are busy creating into matter during the earlier part of their incarnation and do not realize they can consciously use spiritual energy throughout life. The soul creates the body and develops it into physical maturity. In adult life, the soul creates work, family, and other extensions of itself. The vibrations it uses and the things it creates depend on the soul’s beliefs. The soul’s creativity is an expression of the beliefs it brings into the body, what it learns in the body, and what it adopts from others. The soul’s beliefs and the energy it uses to manifest those beliefs physically is what has to be transformed back into pure spiritual energy. What the soul invests in matter must be retrieved.
Kundalini energy is the transformer that changes all that a soul has invested into the physical realm back into cosmic energy. Kundalini energy transforms the physical back into the spiritual form of pure energy. Kundalini energy raises the vibrations used to create matter in the physical plane to a spiritual state where the energy can be used by the soul in other ways and in other lives. Kundalini is the transforming energy that helps us, the spirit, to move both into and out of the physical world, as well as to create in a spiritually aware state while in a body.
Kundalini energy is neutral. It does not have body characteristics such as emotions, sexuality, and pain. It is a neutral energy, much like electricity. Kundalini energy moves through the spiritual system and physical body and stimulates the body’s existing characteristics. Like electricity, kundalini energy is not conscious; it is simply a powerful energy. It is up to the individual soul to learn to be conscious of and in control of its kundalini energy.
Kundalini energy manifests itself in infinite ways. You can learn to identify how it affects you and your body. The first time you consciously turn on your kundalini, you may have the experience of saying to yourself, “Oh, that’s what that is.” Kundalini energy can cause physical, emotional, and psychological responses from your body, so it is important to learn how to control it in order for the kundalini energy not to control you. Kundalini has a powerful impact on the body since it is changing every cell in the body.
You need to develop your use of kundalini energy slowly and carefully because it affects all of your chakras or spiritual energy centers, the rest of your spiritual system, and your entire body system. Kundalini energy has a major impact on you, the spirit, and on all of your creativity, including your body. It is best to learn about your chakras and how to meditate on them before consciously turning on your kundalini energy. All of the chakras are stimulated by the kundalini energy, so you need to understand the chakra system to fully comprehend what is happening with your kundalini transformation.
Kundalini energy is often experienced during birth and death since these are the transition points into and out of the physical body. The soul needs a high vibration to make this transition from the spiritual to the physical realm, and then out of the physical back to the spiritual. Societies that are aware of the spiritual nature of humanity have rituals surrounding birth and death which assist the soul in these times of transition. Unfortunately, in technological society our attention is focused on the intellectual arena and our awareness is dimmed to the spiritual nature of birth, life, and death. We are now focused on the body rather than the spirit which causes us to be survival-oriented rather than focused on spiritual creativity.
We are spirit and are here on Earth to learn about creativity. When we put our attention on only one of our creations, the body, we focus on its main interest, which is survival. This obsession with survival keeps us from experiencing the joy and enthusiasm which is possible when we are focused on spirit and the Cosmic Consciousness. All of the world religions were intended to remind us of our spiritual nature. Unfortunately, each one has developed many worldly patterns focusing on the intellect and survival instincts. The original teachings focused on our spiritual nature while the present organizations representing the teachings also focus on physical reality such as survival issues including exclusivity, physical characteristics, ethics, the intellect, territory, dogma, ritual, and other body-oriented issues.
The Cosmic continues to send us teachers, signs, spiritual information, revelations, and other messages to help us wake up to the fact that we are spirit and not the bodies we create and inhabit. Kundalini energy is one of the vibrations to help us experience and maintain our spiritual awareness and vitality while in a body. The existence, purpose, and use of kundalini energy is not taught by most of the world religions. In fact, the truth about kundalini energy is kept as secret as possible by many of the religious powers. Some of the groups which are aware of and publicly use kundalini energy do not teach the masses of humanity that we can all use this energy to manifest a more spiritually focused life. Many of the priesthoods of this world are not sharing all they know as they have become engulfed by the physical world and its obsession with survival. Since knowledge is power, many groups now play power games with their information instead of the originally intended game of encouraging spiritual enlightenment.
Kundalini energy can raise the individual soul above the survival level of life on Earth into a state of spiritual awareness. If this is the case for every soul, what purpose would we have for many religious organizations as they exist today? If a religious organization does not offer community, support for the individual’s relationship with God, and instruction for spiritual creativity and communication, what is its purpose? Kundalini raises the awareness above the need for guilt, fear, control games, and other manipulations that have become popular with religious powers over the centuries. Religions are ideally meant to inspire, encourage, and instruct; not to chastise, condemn, or punish. Kundalini energy frees us from earthly games.
Kundalini energy is the neutral transformer. It transforms the individual into an awakened state, and it will in time transform the planet and all of its institutions into an awakened reality. Every individual soul who consciously uses kundalini energy helps to raise the vibration of Earth. As the Earth raises its vibration, the consciousness of every soul is affected. Kundalini helps one see one’s truth, thus it is a challenge to use this energy if lies are the norm.
You may have a great deal of your spiritual energy invested in survival-oriented creations such as being good, earning money, buying things, being concerned about what others think of you, and other body focuses. You can raise these survival issues to a different plane of reality by learning to use your kundalini energy consciously. Creating in a physical body does not have to be survival-oriented if you maintain a spiritual perspective. Kundalini energy helps you gain and keep your spiritual awareness and vitality. Even in a survival situation such as war, famine, or other circumstance of deprivation, you can use your kundalini energy to move through the experience with a spiritual perspective and grace.
It is extremely important to evaluate your reasons for awakening and using kundalini energy. “Know yourself” is taught by every great teacher. Knowing yourself is vital when awakening your kundalini energy. Kundalini has the power to awaken what you have created, so you need to know who you are, what you have created, and your purpose on Earth. Kundalini energy will introduce you to yourself and your creations rapidly. You may need time to prepare your body before focusing on kundalini energy, so your body will not be frightened when you do. Meditation is the best way to prepare your body and learn to know yourself.
If you know that you have emotional or physical pain in your body from past injuries, you will understand when the pain is stimulated, and you can release it without resistance. If you are unaware of a disturbance in your system, you may fight it, believing it has an external source. Your fight and resistance will create more pain and disturbance if you are using kundalini. You must be able to let go rapidly to effectively use this powerful energy because kundalini has no ethics. It moves through the system without concern for pain, emotions, sexuality, ethics, or anything else it stimulates to transform. Kundalini, the transformer, is a spiritual force that we need to learn to use consciously and safely.
Kundalini energy can be a part of life for anyone on Earth. It is not something for special people; it is for all people who wish to do the work to awaken and control it. Kundalini energy is a gift from God to help us create the world of matter, and then to rise above the physical world we have created to remember that we are spirit and the creators of our reality. It is a gift of energy to help us regain the spiritual energy we have invested in the material world. Kundalini energy helps us reunite our consciousness with the Cosmic Consciousness.
