Cosmic Kundalini
Your true Self is God, unmanifested, but because of your attachments, you again come back into ego-body identification. You must now give up such identification, and let the body’s activities continue while not identifying with them. This loss of “doership” can be accomplished only by diving our present consciousness into the depths of unconsciousness, with the Kundalini itself, which like a bright comet journeying through dark space, awakens us into our cosmic home. This is such a blessing that we should enjoy our Self-perceived universal greatness, which is completely innocent, emanating boundless love toward every sentient and insentient form. Yet there will come a time when in the midst of being Ishvara (God manifested), a subtle inquiry arises in the very core of our expansive beingness: a “perceiving” is still happening. Who is the perceiver?
What are you supposed to “do” in such a situation? You look back to who is perceiving or witnessing that and repose in that background, that blissful Self-Awareness state. This bliss of Being, where nothing is perceived because our consciousness is reposing as bliss itself, being absorbed into the Spiritual Heart, dissolves everything we are not until what is left is the indescribable Absolute, Parabrahman. That’s where the Kundalini’s cosmic journey will take us.
Kundalini is not different from Consciousness because everything is Consciousness. However, Kundalini is not static consciousness but dynamic consciousness, the purest vibration. In its pristine form, Kundalini can be equated with the “transcendental I,” Universal Mind, Universal Consciousness or as some call it, the adjunctless “I am.”
Pure Consciousness (Shiva) is immutable, unmovable, non-dual. There is no “I” there. It is beyond being personal or impersonal, and there’s no point trying to give more attributes and labels to That which nothing can define. When it manifests as this magnificent cosmos, it does so as energy, as the Cosmic Kundalini. Cosmic Kundalini is Shakti, whose nature is pure bliss (ananda).
In the beginning, the first manifestation of pure Consciousness is “I am.” This “I am” goes even further into duality and diversity, manifesting as all the sentient beings, for example.
When the Cosmic Kundalini comes up from the Spiritual Heart to the brain region, and then spreads toward the whole nervous system as prana, it is no longer the impersonal “I am.” It gets transmuted into a “limited-consciousness” which is called “ego-mind,” the personal “I am this body.”
When we gather all this prana back into the central channel, up to the brain region and Crown, and then to the Spiritual Heart, we go beyond all duality. If it reaches Sahasrara only, the cosmic Samadhi experienced will not be enough for Self-Realization (Sahaja Samadhi, the natural and effortless non-dual state of enlightenment).
The Crown Chakra is like the Moon. It reflects the light of the Spiritual Heart, which is the Sun.
As is said in Kriya Yoga Exposed, if you had to point to “I,” where would you point? Definitely not to the head. It’s always to the Heart region. There is where the “I” emerges and where it ends.
