That Mysterious Kundalini...

Saeptus

I really appreciate the replies Uni_Verse and Jim. It helped.

I guess I was just wondering if there was a point I needed to get to or if it's like a new muscle you appreciate having the rest of your life. No one I know has a clue of what I'm talking about so my only avenue is here.

The latter. A crude parallel: Before a certain age, most people either don't think that much about sex, or at least don't really know what they're talking about. After a certain age, though, it's impossible for most people not to knowingly think about it in an entirely different way than they were capable of before that - and this continues to evolve throughout our lives, and we continue to wrestle with it, etc. It's not that it is necessarily the only thing we think about, but neither is there any entirely getting away from it.

Just to pick one example of many...

Saeptus

...even though all along something unconscious outside/inside you did know about sex.

I will meditate on viewing this as an evolving awareness as opposed to something I need to finish. I just needed to knock the internal obsessive trainer down a peg. Some perspective. It feels better knowing I don't have to put other things on hold in my life and/or to just enjoy it.

These things have a habit of falling into place regardless, if you know what I mean

Of course you can't get away from this stuff, it's like breathing! And if crap hit's the fan you will certainly know what to do, from God knows where. LOL

Thanks.

"I don't really understand the notion of Kundalini unfolding from bottom up. Do you mean up the spine to crown and then down?"

Yes, that is what I was referring to.
Generally speaking: the experience has been described to me as climbing from the base of the spine upward, then curving back down.
Personally: more or a rising up to explode at the crown and rain down as if a fountain.

"Working energy arts for three years now it feels like a giant flower for a head and a portal I can open and close at the throat. I also spent considerable time working with purifying the lower energy centers (of course there is plenty of hidden layers I need to work! dreams and/or in meditation)."

The idea that "the fountain has been opened" occurred to me when reading your initial post on this thread.
I did not say anything then, but this comment caused the idea to return more forcefully.

"I don't claim anything past Malkuth, just trying to compare notes with other people."

To be clear, I am not claiming anything either.

Yes, the fountain was there originally, but the character armoring is clear enough in the back. I dunno why that would matter besides the tantrically obvious...

I've instinctively dabbled with postures, breathing, ect. along the way just to survive. Having to keep on digging! Which is why I was wondering if there was an end point.

If I want to really pull awareness upward, mental clarity, I put my head in a bucket of ice cold water. I engage in physical activity if I want to pull awareness lower. Alternate to stir the Kundalini pot. Meditate during any spare moments. I want it to be that simple or else I really would go crazy.

"To be clear, I am not claiming anything either. "

Claims are dumb.

I just want to wander around my island and put on a entertaining variety show for people. A lot of illusions were stripped away from me last year and now I am willing to insert my own.

If there is an end point, figuring out what it is does not get you any closer
In other words: deliver your self from the lust of result

I am something of a Bard my self.

If I have learned anything about this process is this:

Every time I have a sensation/thought/feeling ect. that sticks with me enough to want to change something in my own life I don't act on it and immediately identify it with the Kundalini first and work on it there.
If it gets to the point where I actually involve another person, like this thread, I know it will be gone completely soon. The Kundalini rug gets pulled out from under you. Of course, replaced by something else.

Thanks for the responses. I will endure until the freaking end like everybody else.

Sex ain't that good its just ****able meat and stinks all kind of smells, imagination drives one to do this and this, but practically its just saliva and sweat. Do not bother with this.

Mmmm... Saliva and sweat. Two of my favorites.

Tantra has it's uses, you can't petition the lord with prayer only.

The qi is one. The threefold force is one. Does it rise or is it you who dive?

Qi sinks into the dantien, spirit rises. Spirit sinks, qi rises. And not.

Establish the yin and the yang of all things and dress them like pearls onto a necklace.

Kundalini is a specific wavelengh of qi. A pearl onto the necklace.

Reduce the proportion of mistake, and increase that of truth. Thus all things improve surely.
